#102 in werewolf

Thank you for all the love and support.

Ana pov:

Still standing behind the trees, I noticed the crowd beginning to retreat. I sprinted into a run back through the trail in woods to the pack house. My first priority right now was to be back and act like I had been there the whole time. I really wanted to leave this place right now but that would seem suspicious and they might not even let me go. Firstly, I need to figure out, what do they want from me?

I reached the backyard in no time and saw that no one has been back yet. I went back to the library and stayed there so that if anyone would come to check then, they would think that I had been there the whole time. Now I have to formulate a plan and execute it perfectly so that it wouldn't draw any suspicion. All through the late afternoon and evening, I stayed there and thought of my escape.

At around seven, Ari came to call me for dinner. I smiled and told her that I will be down there in a few minutes. Inside I was nervous as it was time to start the first part of my plan.

Everyone was already seated when I entered the dining hall. I waved and greeted others like I always do. Dinner was served and we all started eating. Light conversations were going on around us. Just as dessert was serving, I signalled to Ari that we have to talk something important in private. She nodded her head and mouthed 'after dessert'.

I met her at the backyard garden and went to sit on one of the benches facing towards the woods with our backs to the pack house.

"Ari, you are one of my best friends and I - gosh this is so embarrassing."- I covered my head by my hands.

"Hey listen; Ana you know you can say anything to me."- she said genuinely.

"Well, I wanted to ask you if Kaiden had spoken anything to you about me."- I asked her hopefully.

"I - I mean I am falling for him Ari and I don't want to have my heart broken if he is not interested. So please tell me if there is a chance between us or I will leave by tomorrow."- my voice full of sadness by the end.

"No, no. You are not going anywhere. Of course, he likes you, Ana. He told me that he wants this relationship but you were still recovering so he didn't want to pressure you out in any way. He will be so happy to hear this. And I am totally supporting and rooting for guys."- she exclaimed happily.

"Thank you so much, Ari. I was thinking, maybe I could cook something special for him tomorrow. And dress up for him as well and then I will confess my feelings to him. What do you think?"- I asked her with a slight blush on my cheeks.

"There is no need for all that. You should tell him now. He will be ecstatic."- she said while dragging me back towards the pack house. Shit! This wasn't supposed to happen. Raking through my brain, an idea popped up and I stood still.

"Listen, Ari, I - I want to do this. You are gonna laugh at me but I haven't been with anyone before. It is the first time, I am serious for someone. I want to experience my first confession, first date, first kiss and this may seem childish but I have always wanted to be loved unconditionally and live through these moments. Please, would you help me?"

Please say yes... Please... Please...

She stood for a minute assessing what I said and then slowly her smile grew so wide that I thought would split her face in half. She squealed then nodded and jumped up and down excitedly.

"Be ready tomorrow morning, we have to buy some groceries and go shopping. I need a new dress."- I said to her.

She said okay and we both went inside. It was already fifteen past ten, so after wishing her goodnight, I went straight to my room and locked the doors. After changing into my nightdress, I curled up in bed and drifted off to sleep.

The warm sunlight peeking through the curtains woke me up. The clock read five past nine. Today was for part two of my plan. I went down for breakfast after getting dressed. I had asked Ari not to tell anyone about my confession and make up an excuse for shopping. We met at the dining table. Kaiden was having a conversation with Xavier and Will. Ari signalled me to ask Kaiden to lend his car to us.

"Kaiden, can I ask you something?" I said interrupting in their chat.

Now everyone's attention was on me. He nodded and asked if anything was wrong?

"No, but I wanted to ask, will you let me and Ari borrow your car to go to the mall?"

"Okay but you have to take Will and Taylor with you. Your kidnappers are still out there. It will be risky to go alone."

He did have a point. It would be pointless if I escaped from here, only to end up with my kidnappers. At least right now I am treated well. I have a suite room, good food and good friends as well even if they are werewolves.

My kidnappers on the other side is a whole different story that I don't want to find out. It is just so confusing. My life has taken a 180 turn. A few months ago, werewolves were a myth and now I was living among them.

"Okay, we will leave in half an hour."- I said and went to get ready.

***

Will and Taylor were already standing near the car talking to Kaiden in hushed tones when Ari and I approached them. Will took the driver's seat while Taylor insisted to sit in the passenger seat. That left Ari and I, in the back seat. Kaiden came to my side and through the open window, he gave me his credit card.

"I don't need this Kaiden, please take it back."- I said while giving it back to him.

"Take it, I know you have money but please for me take this. I would like it if you don't hesitate to spend."- he insisted with a voice that held emotions. Emotions like he has accomplished something. It was his tone that somehow compelled me to take this card. And if I did not take it, I would feel guilty for denying his right.

"Okay, we'll be back in a few hours."- with that Will drove over to the rough road leading out of woods to the nearby town mall.

This is it, I was going to escape from this mythical world. Though they have become my good friends, how can I live with them when I know nothing about their kind or the reason they were keeping me there.

As we were moving further and further, I felt like I was leaving behind a big part of my heart and soul.

"Thank you for taking care of me and sorry for leaving like this. Please forgive me" - I thought while looking back, for a last glimpse of the pack house, the woods and most importantly Kaiden.
