Runaway

seventeen

It's been a long time coming but hopefully it's worth the wait! Parts of Chapter fifteen part one and two were used but there's a twist at the end, enjoy :) 

"Isabelle?" Theo says, he turns to look at me his face filled with shock.

"W-what are you doing here? I thought you w-were with Dexter?"

"I w-was" I say swallowing back the tears threatening to fall. "B-but he told me to c-come back."

"O-oh."

Oh? That's all he could say? I walk in on him about to kiss someone, someone who is most certainly not me and all he can say is oh?

"I s-should go" I mumble turning back to the door, so much for telling Theo everything tonight.

"No Isabelle you don't have to go." Theo says mechanically, almost like he's saying it because he has to.

I look down at Theo's hand which is still wrapped around another girl's waist.

"I t-think I do." I say mustering all my energy, taking off.

The moment I make it out the tears start rolling. He's my mate, my one and only, my true love, destined since birth.

My vision is blurred, I don't know where to go. I keep running until the house becomes familiar, Dexter's.

I stumble groggily back into his house. There's a girl with him, they're talking in low voices. The moment I walk in my eyes lock on a tiny doll in the girls hand. Blonde hair, blue eyes, two pigtails one plaited and the other isn't scar on the right check dressed from head-to-toe in blue. Dexter looks up snatching the doll from her hands, "Isabelle?" His tone is almost identical to Theo's. The sort of tone children use when they're been caught eating the last cookie, the kind of tone adults use when they're guilty.

I nod slowly, "what happened to you?" Dexter asks barely blinking an eye at my tear stained face and shaking frame.

"I-I went to see Theo and he w-was w-with s-s-s-someone." The words fall out of my mouth like smoke flying out and making everyone stare in disgrace. The doll forgotten in my shaken state.

"What are you talking about?" Dexter sits up now as if my words are of interest to him. 

"T-they were k-k-kissing." I stutter on but am instantly cut off by Dexter's abrupt growl.

"You need to leave." I stare wide-eyed at Dexter's unwavering stature, fists shaking the girl beside him places a hand on his shoulder. He turns his head and I don't wait for him to say it again.

Before either of them can try and comfort me I push through their door and back out into the night. How could I be stupid enough to think that my mate would actually want me? He's an Alpha, what kind of Alpha doesn't have five girls on the side?

I'm such an idiot for believing all those stupid stories. I look back with tears in my eyes, since I've met Theo my life has been a rollercoaster. I guess this ride is over.

I start to run, run away, run as far as my legs will take me. There is nothing left for me at this pack, nothing but a cheating Alpha.

My eyes are filled with tears and as I continue to run on my whole body gives way.

I'm too weak to even run away.

"Isabelle!" His voice makes my heart skip a beat, my whole body aches and his touch seems to stop all the pain.

Remember what he did Isabelle.

He has someone else, someone who isn't me.

Theo tries to reach for me, but even in my teary state I manage to flinch away.
