Chapter 41

Don't forget to check out my new start of a trilogy Bloodlust.

I felt so much guilt as I ran away from the territory. It was so easy to slip out and lie to everyone. It was so easy for Shayne to trust me and fall into my arms. I left him sleeping in bed while I carefully slipped out from under his nose.

I felt the tears spill over my eyes and a sob escaped my lips. I slowed down my paste when I was sure no one was following me. I was still in my human form since my scent wouldn't be as strong.

I pulled out my cell phone and looked at the time. I had time before Shayne would notice my absence. I had to make it quick or else things wouldn't fall in my favor. I quickly dialed the number I had saved in my contacts.

"Hello?"

"It's Sage," I said. "I-I'm gone. You know what to do now."

I hung up the phone and dialed the next number. Justin answered on the fourth ring. He sounded somewhat sleepy when he answered and I wondered if he had gotten tired of waiting for any call from me.

"Tell Rider I'm here." I said.

I ended the call before he could respond. I started running again and i had about fifteen minutes to get to Imperial territory.

Even being a wolf my legs were burning. This would have been much faster if I were running in all fours. It would also be faster if I would stop zig-zagging while running. My scent would be faint but they will be able to catch it. I needed to lead them where they would attack.

I had an advantage since I used to belong to Imperial. I knew what their weaknesses were. I knew what side they would leave blind. Rider would be too distracted to think about putting up double security.

Once I was close to the border of Imperial I slowed down. I started going around to make sure that guards would leave that spot open. It didn't take long for someone to spot me.

"You there."

I recognized the boy. He as much older now but when I had left he had started as a guard. His name was Aron.

"State your name."

"I don't have time for this crap." I said. "Get Justin and Rider for me, Aron."

Aron stepped closer to me and he almost seemed invisible against the darkness. His brown skin hid him well. His eyes were bright and so were his pearly white teeth. If it weren't for me being a wolf I probably wouldn't have noticed him.

"How do you know my name."

"I used to belong to this pack before you all kicked me out. Six or seven years ago you all kicked me out without giving me quarter."

"What are you talking about?"

"My name is Sage."

"No fucking way."

He didn't know I was coming? Did Rider keep this from everyone? Why would he do something like that? He wanted me back so bad and if he's planning to keep me for himself then...

"I thought you were dead." He said with a dry laugh. "I do remember a search group being assembled though. Maybe that's what it was about."

"Rider didn't tell anyone I would be joining Imperial again?"

"No one knows what the Alpha is always up to but we never question him." Aron said. "You betrayed the pack so why would Rider want you back?"

That sounded like something my mother would have said. These people so blindly believed in Rider. I was forgetting that they didn't know the real reason for me being thrown out of the pack. Rider- that sneaky bastard.
