Chapter 25

We had dinner and walked hand in hand back to our house. He told me that he was surprised I had taken so well to the people and I didn’t hold back telling him it distracted me from his absence.

We went out spectate ways as soon as we got home but it felt a little less frozen in my bed. I could feel him leaking in through the cracks.

I had woken up and he wasn’t there again. It shook my faith for a second but I held my head up if this was going to work I couldn’t fault him for his daily schedule.

I leapt down our porch and hit the dirt, feeling the lightning in my nerves. I let her run far and fast, holding my breath as I watched the world pass.

I wasn’t sure if I was getting what I wanted, if he would be willing to come to me. I thought I would feel better, how do you trust the person who can hurt you the most.

It was definitely a male too I could smell his sweat and heat.

I looked over and saw the flash of grey and black fur. Most of Graysons wolves were brown and black. I didn’t know there was a wolf here with grey fur.

I stopped and focused my eyes on him. I lifted my head and let out a sound of the alarm, my howl ringing for attention.

The stranger wolf stopped and stared at me before rocketing himself out of sight.

Who are you?

I had never seen Grayson work as an alpha besides the lunch meeting. This was far more serious and I knew he would be angry I had been the one to find this unknown.

After only two or three minutes eight to ten wolves were there. I looked around at them, not a speck of silver.

Elizabeth’s wolf Mareen called me over a change of clothes for me. Four wolves swept the perimeter and one chased down the intruder.

When given an all–clear I transformed and put on the loose dress behind tree.
