Run.

Chapter Four

I ran for what seemed like hours when I stop beside a little pond. My head is pounding and I don't understand why. Sure I had just head butted a werewolf but I healed really fast. Pain usually wasn't that much of an issue for me. I decided to take down my invisibility so as not to drain all my power. Not that it runs out, but it's a tiny bit irritating plus I'm positive I am outside the wolves territory.

Somehow my head just keeps hurting. It won't stop and all I can hear is this throbbing. What if it was a super werewolf power? Every time someone hurts you they get a killer headache. I quickly dismiss the idea. One thing being on the run did to me was make me thorough.

I researched every supernatural creature I could find. Made sure I knew everything about my enemies and those who could know what I was. With all this research I learned a lot about werewolves and I knew that they did not have any powers that caused seriously bad headaches.

I put a hand on my head hoping this would steady me. I don't know what's happening and it scares a little part of me. I don't like it when something happens and I can't explain it. I mean if I get punched in the face and start bleeding I know why. But for some reason this was different and I didn't understand it.

As if my head didn't hurt enough I suddenly feel this wall of emotions surround me. It was mostly anger and irritation but there were slight feelings of guilt among some.They had found me. The wolves had tracked me to where I was. I guess I hadn't run far enough. If you hadn't already guessed I can be a stubborn bitch at the best of times so there was no way in hell I was letting these dogs take me back without a fight. I could feel them all advance towards me. There were five in total. I could detect the beta and Aiden but no Caleb.

I feel a twinge of guilt at the thought of him unconscious thanks to my collision with him. No Juliet you did not do anything that bad you needed to get away I try to tell myself. I plan to knock out the two weakest who were flanking me from behind. Then I could possibly escape if I put up my invisibility and go like a bat outta hell.

Just as I turn around to put my plan in motion the headache suddenly gets way worse. Like having your head run over with a burning hot steam roller ten million times without dying while having a killer hangover bad. I scream and drop to my knees with my hands clutching my head. As if things weren't bad enough I start to cough blood. A lot of blood.

As soon as I see the red liquid on the ground at my knees and on my hands I turn deliriously happy. If I wasn't in so much pain I would've jumped up and freakin screamed with joy. I knew what was happening to me. It had happened before when I was 12. Back then I was scared didn't know what was happening but now I knew. I was dying.

I hear footsteps come closer to me. These are human not wolf. I turn my head to see Caleb come towards me with a bloody nose and a ridiculously scared face. First time I had seen a werewolf scared and an alpha too. This was a rare occurrence. He clutches me in his arms and looks into my eyes.

"Juliet stay awake you'll be ok baby." He rocks me in his arms like I'm a little child. I presume he is trying to console me.

I weakly smile and look up at him pressing my hand to his face getting blood on his jaw. "So glad you could join me Caleb James." I croak out before the steam roller headache returns. I probably should tell him not to burn my body that I would be back soon. I am about to when suddenly the light of the morning fades to grey before going black.

Caleb's POV

As soon as she whacked my face and ran off I called the pack to go ahead of me and after her. This was the last fucking straw. I didn't give a damn if she was my mate this was not getting forgotten about easily. I run behind them searching different parts for about an hour before I got a message from Asher.
