Chapter Twenty-Two

The pain from the separation was almost too much to take and I kept getting hot flashes run though my body. My wolf whimpered for our mate and I cursed myself for being so stupid, how had I not realised that I was starting to go through heat. Moving away from Max had put me in a worse position than before. Now I could have any rouge or werewolf try to mate me because of my scent.

I heard a snap of a twig, without thinking I sprinted as fast as I could in the other direction from the sound. I didn’t shift because I couldn’t trust my wolf not to go back to Max. I pushed as hard as my human legs could go and strained my hearing trying to hear anyone around me.

I ran for at least an hour before I was sure I was far enough from the border and whoever was there. Panting I took in my surroundings and gasped at the amazing view.

Somehow I had come across the most gorgeous lake I had ever seen. I walked forward and let out a breath I didn’t know I had been holding. In front of me was a small lake surrounded on one side by a waterfall rock wall and the other an open forest. The setting sun made the whole place glow like magic, with the trees swaying and the water rippling.

Taking off my shorts and shoes I started walking into the water. Once it was up to my waist I let the cool water sooth my pain from leaving Max. I cried for a while and yelled at the sky for the world being so unfair.

Max and I had finally been happy, and then that stupid bitch had to come and ruin everything. I closed my and sunk to the bottom of the lake.  I felt the feeling of sadness over whelm me, without Max there was no point of me living, I didn’t want to.

Opening my eyes I looked around the lake, I looked up and saw how the sun was glistening on the water. It would be so easy to die right now.

But I couldn’t because I knew that if I died then so would Max and the thoughts of him being hurt broke my heart. I let out a small whimper into the water and then swam back up to the surface, I will get back to Max and I will kill that Black Cloaked Women.

I walked out of the water and pulled my shorts and shoes back on. The feeling of my wet skin on the dry clothes hurt but it was better than the pain in my chest.

I went and sat by a tree and closed my eyes. I needed to think of what I was going to do now, I couldn’t live in the forest forever and I would at least need to be away for a few days. I also had to think about food. I still had my bag with clothes and money, maybe I would go to the human town a couple of miles from here.

But I was in heat and there were hundreds of rogues in the human town. I few tears slid down my face. What am I going to do? I asked my wolf,

It’s okay I will be here the whole time. We will get through this together.

 

I wanted so badly to believe her, but with the heat burning my body and the pain of my heart all I could think about was giving up.

Suddenly I felt my wolf become alert, I shot to an attack position and growled. I felt movement in the trees behind me and I twisted and kicked my attacker in the face. I pulled them up holding on to their neck and smashed them into the tree I had been sitting at.

I pulled my hand back ready to strike when I realised who it was at first I was so glad to see someone I knew and then I realised how dangerous it was for them to be near me. I opened my hand turned and started to run. If the Black Cloaked Women found out that I was talking to someone in my pack then sh…. I stopped dead in my tracks, a huge grin spreading on my face.

Running back I picked him up and smashed him to my chest,

“Miss. Belle you really do pack a punch…” Luke said rubbing his neck where there was still an imprint of my hand. I winced and looked down at my feet,

“Sorry Luke I just thought you were…” I didn’t finish my sentence because I knew he knew what I meant. Anyone could be out in the forest at night and not just werewolves.

“It’s okay Autumn so are you going to explain why you ran away from the pack and why you are making my brother cry like a baby?” My wolf whimpered at the thought of Max, I grabbed at my chest trying to stop my heart breaking, “he has the whole pack out searching for you! I think he is going insane, he has also already put five pack members in the hospital.” I winced at the last comment. I knew Max was going to react bad… I just didn’t know how bad.

“I can’t be at the pack house right now, because I wa…” Luke sighed and put a hand on either side of my head,

“You don’t need to tell me about her…” I looked at him confused, “Before I tell you follow me.” I was hesitant to follow Luke but I didn’t really have another choice. We ran only a few kilometres till we got to a small wooden hut that I wouldn’t have noticed if Luke hadn’t stopped in front of it.

“When I saw you leaving the pack house I knew you were in heat and all other wolves and maybe a few humans are going to start coming after you, so I thought of the perfect place for you to stay.”  I gasped as we walked into the hut, it was beautiful with a small wall fire, small kitchen, bathroom and bedroom all made of wood and stone. Once inside I turned to Luke,

“How did you find this place?” I asked, walking into all the rooms. I smiled at the feeling of warmth that I got from being inside this place, I looked back at Luke and saw him rubbing his neck awkwardly, he looked so much like his brother I wanted to cry, so I did.

“Hey, it’s okay everything is going to be fine…” Luke cooed as he wrapped me in his arms, I was so glad that he had a mate and wouldn’t be affected by my heat. It felt so good to be hugged, even though I wished so much that it was Max’s arms I was in. I pulled back and looked him directly in the eyes,

“Everything is not fine! I am in heat and all I want is Max, I have an evil bitch kicking me out of my own home, I already miss my friends and family and it hasn’t even been one day, and most of all I am confused and scared, yes I said it I AM SCARED!” I broke down in to sobs and fell to the ground curling up into a ball. Luke lifted me up and took me to a bedroom.

Placing me down I sat up and looked at my hands embarrassed at my outburst,

“Autumn there’s something you need to know…” I looked up at Luke and saw pain written all over his face, his dark chocolate eyes clouded with sadness. I took one of his hands and that seemed to give him strength to go on,

“Autumn, I am going to start by saying that you are one of my best friends and I have grown to love you like a sister even though I wasn’t meant to…” He put his hand up stopping my comments, “And when I meet Samantha… Six, everything was perfect, but then the reality of why I came here set in…” He was looking at me as if preparing for the worst, and even though I knew I wasn’t going to like the answer I had to ask the question,

“Luke, why did you come here?”  I felt Luke’s hand tighten around mine and his eyes pleading for me to understand,

“You have to know Autumn that when I came here I was so depressed and angry at the family that I never had and then this amazingly gorgeous girl came to me claiming to want to help and it wasn’t till recently that I realised I didn’t want to go through with the plan…” I tried to pull my hand away scared of what his next answer would be,

“Luke, what was the plan?” Looking straight in my eyes he said the worst thing he could,

“The lady who kidnapped you ,was the person I was working with, and the plan was… to kill Max.”
