Better Than Revenge (Book 1 in Revenge series)

Chapter 7

Rose POV

I stared up at the black sky. It was so pretty. The stars shone brightly and I could see each one individually.

I turned my head to the side in confusion as a twig snapped a few yards away, heavy breathing filled the silence around me.

I stood up, looking for somewhere to hide, deciding to climb the tree.

I winced as my bare palms scrapped painfully on the tree bark, many cuts forming on them.

"Rose? Are you out here?" Josh whispered shouted from below.

I held my breath, unmoving.

He can't find me, he doesn't want me as a sister or a mate.

Wait, what?

Mate?

'He's your mate doofus!' My wolf snapped sharply.

"Well thanks for the update. Coulda told me sooner." I mumbled out loud before realizing my mistake.

Josh's head snapped towards me, but I pressed myself further into the tree.

"Who's there?" He asked as he looked around.

After a few more minutes of searching and finding nothing, he sighed and started walking again, calling my name softly.

'You can't go to him. Everything his dad said is true.' My wolf said sadly as I fell from the tree, landing on crouched knees to break my fall.

"I know that. I wouldn't of ran away if it weren't true." I said with a sigh.

I turned the opposite way than Josh, taking off towards the edge of the forest, back to where I started.

Short, I know. The next one should be longer though!!!
