Chapter 494: Finally Choose Him

Reality was jarring.

Adele jolted awake to find her hands buried between her legs. Wait a minute, had she been touching herself this whole time?

There was no time to process that as panic took over.

With no hesitation, Adele threw the door open and ran.

Micah had found her. That was the only thought screaming through her mind.

"Hey! Where are you —" The clerk shouted when she zoomed past her.

But Adele did not look back and kept running to God knows where.

Where was Micah? Where was she running to? Why was she running? The questions pricked at the edges of her mind, but panic had already drowned out reasoning, silencing everything else.

Adele made it off the main road, crashing blindly through the underbrush until the motel lights were swallowed by trees. She didn’t stop running until her legs gave out and the crushing silence of the forest pressed in around her.

Only then did she realize that she had isolated herself.

The woods were eerily still, save for the occasional rustle of leaves and the distant hoot of an owl. Moonlight bled through the canopy in broken shards, casting long shadows.

She was exhausted, barely standing. With her wolf suppressed, her strength had drained away, leaving her no better than a vulnerable human. Maybe adrenaline had carried her this far, but now, the mating fever struck with full vengeance like a tidal wave slamming into her gut.

Tears blurred her vision.
