I spent hours in that one spot, I fell asleep and awoke to the morning sun in my eyes. I had shifted back to human form and the cold chill of the air caressed my skin.

At least I could feel that, the rest of me felt numb, I didn't want to feel again, I didn't want to go back but I knew that I had a duty to Cade and I'd have to go back eventually.

I changed back into my wolf form, preferring the warm layer of fur over my human skin. I shook off all the leaves and bits of grass. I decide to go hunting to fill my growling stomach, a rabbit or something would do...

*******

It had already been two days since I left.

I wasn't even in our territory, I had ran past the border and ended up in no mans land, a 50km patch of land that separated us and the next pack. I knew I could defend myself but I questioned my sanity with all the rogues that could be lurking out here.

I decided I should head back, within an hour I began to smell our border crossing, I looked up and noticed Matt on patrol.

He seems to be everywhere...

He runs over to me "dude, are you alright?" He questions me through the link "where the hell did you go?" I couldn't see it in his wolf form but I could hear the concern in his voice.

I shook my wolf head "I had to get away for a while" I say as I continue walking "I think I might stay out here a little longer" I sigh, I wasn't completely ready to go back yet, just being on the pack lands made me feel safer though.

"I followed your scent here and waited, I knew you'd come back eventually" he smiles in his wolf form "Electra has been distraught" he says and my ears perk up.

I turn to face him fully "why?" I ask, was she distraught that we weren't mates or maybe she was just stringing me along... trying to make me feel something.

Maybe it was her plan all along.

I pushed those thoughts aside, I was angry and I knew it wasn't Electra's fault. She looked just as shocked as I did when she felt nothing.

Matt steps closer to me "she knows that you disappeared for weeks a couple of years ago. She thought you running off was her fault and that you weren't coming back" he looks at me sadly, his usual happy face softening. I could see it even in wolf form.

This perked my interest "she never found her mate then?" I ask, curiosity getting the best of me.

His ears droop "nah, she's been in her room the last two days refusing to leave" he says sadly.

I contemplated if I should stay away a few days more but I had to go back "do you have a stash of clothes nearby?" I ask Matt.

He starts to walk back toward the pack house "yeah just this way a bit" he says as he turns away.

He digs in a spot and pulls out a bag with his teeth, dragging it over to me. It had a pair of pants and a shirt inside. We keep spare clothes in the forest just in case we need them.

I shifted back into my human form, not really caring if Matt was nearby, we had shifted around each other a lot of times and neither of us were worried about it.

I nod at him and say a "thanks" he nods back and walks back toward the edge of our border to continue his patrol.

I sighed as I put the clothes on and walked back toward the pack house, it should only take me an hour at the pace I was going and I was in no hurry to get there.

I arrived in the late afternoon, the pack seemed pretty quiet and I managed to get all the way to my room without passing by anyone.

I felt strange, my whole body felt uncomfortable and I started to feel warm.
