~what if our love story is not about our love but about how our hearts found each other~

Ellie

Darkness took the forest as night settled in the air. The creatures that were hidden during the day started to emerge from their hiding places to enjoy the freedom of the night. I listened as an owl called out into the night, asking about who was crossing his path.

Running quickly, I flew through the forest. I have been running for hours before I finally spotted the sign I have been looking for since I left the prison.

The border tree still stood in majestic glory as the glow of night created a look of beauty for the old magical tree. Running towards it, I heard the howl of the rogues behind me. They have been on my heels for the last ten miles, not seeming to give up.

I pushed more until I felt the familiar tug of crossing line. I was back.

We're home, Raelynn whispered.

This isn't home anymore, I tell her as we stare into the forest, waiting for the sentries to pick up my scent.

I heard a snarl behind as the rogues crossed into the pack's territory after me.

Without skipping a beat, I ran towards the pack house. I knew the patrols would pick up the rogue's scent before ever finding mine. As soon as I thought it, I heard the fight break out. One loud howl sounded as they signaled to the rest of the pack about the victory of the rogues who crossed the border.

Knowing I didn't have much time, I ran faster until the pack house Was in my view.

It was the same as before. The old style three story building loomed over everything in sight. It's oak structure and beautiful wrap around deck looked like the same perfect home as before.

Going to a stepping in front of the massive house.

nearby tree, I changed back into my human form before stepping in front of the massive house.

Once we go in there, there is no going back, Raelynn tells me.

Zea is here. We have to, I tell her.

As much as I know I need to go in, I just stand there and look at what the building is for me. It holds all my greatest memories and the one memory that changed my entire life. The one I wish I could forget.

I was about to step forward when I smelled him. The same scent from so many years ago. The one I had come to love. Fresh rain and honey.

"Ellie?" he called out to me. His voice sounded almost broken at my sudden appearance.

I turned to his call as I took in his appearance. He looked almost the same as the day I lost him.

"Daniel"
