Escaping The World: Lost in Book (book 1) 11
Danika I love this restaurant. The fist time we came here was when it opened. My dad is part owner so we come here for special occasions. The moment I step in the door, the owner stops his table rounds and comes straight to me for a hug. Mr Castano is an old family friend."Ah Danika! It's been too long. You look stunning. Andreas doesn't she look stunning? Of course you do! You always do! Let me get you a table, hmm!" Mr Castano grabs menus and walks us upstairs to his finest table which looks out over the city. "How's your dad? I heard he's in Italy for business for a month. Did he leave you in that big house for a month? All alone? He should have said, you could come stay with me and Andreas, no? But I'm sure Dominic is staying in the house with you while your parents are away, yes? Please sit sit! I'll make you a chocolate milkshake and bring you up a lasagne, yes! Enjoy your evening Prinsessa!" He leans over to place a soft kiss on the top of

"God this storm is bad." I have to shout so Aidan can hear me. "We need to get off of the road.""My house is close. We can wait it out there." He shouts back without taking his eyes off of what can be seen of the road. We arrive at Aidan's parents house in 5 minutes and pull safely into the garage. Aidan climbs out while I immediately check the weather app on my phone. He opens the door then offers me his hand. I look up at him in excitement. "Did you know that this is the worst snow storm we have EVER had. How cool is that?" I say while taking his hand. He just chuckles and squeezes my hand. His garage leads into a stunning kitchen where his parents sit looking very worried. "Oh thank goddess your home safe." His mother says while rushing to him to wrap him in a huge hug. "We were so worried about you driving in this weather. Weren't we Mark?" His mother turns to his father. "So worried. But you're an excellent drive

'Where's Addy?' I write in my Chem note book and slide it over to Jared. 'She has to be home to welcome their Alphas son home or something.' He slides the note book back."What?" I say aloud and look at him. Hadley Robertson is back. The world slows and everything just stops. Hadley Robertson is back. Hades is back and he'll want my head."Mrs Yatt can I please go to the bathroom?" I ask but my voice sounds so far away. I can't hear her but I can see Mrs Yatt nod her head. I stand and walk out into the deserted hall, looking right then left. My feet take me on autopilot down the hall while I close my eyes and shake my head. 'He can't touch you, he can't touch you, he can't touch you.' I mummer as I walk down the hall.I don’t realise anyone else is in the hall until we bump shoulders. I think I mumble sorry before carrying on outside. The moment the cold wind hits me everything crashes down and then goes into over driv

Once I’m showered and ready for bed, I pick up the landline in my room (old school I know but I love it). I dial Addy because her number is the only one I know off by heart. It doesn't even ring before she picks up."Hello" Her honey voice says down the phone."Hey Addy. It's Danika." I say nervously."Danika?! Oh thank god. We were so worried about you! Where are you? Are you in trouble." She sounds both relieved and anxious."I'm fine Adds. I'm at my Uncles Don and Andreas house. I'm gonna be staying her for a while. Just while my dads away." I lean against the wall while I talk to her."Oh." She says disappointed. "Well Hadley's back and he wants to see you. He asked me all about you. Are you free tomorrow afternoon? Maybe you guys can have lunch before he comes back to school on Monday?"I slide down the wall and close my eyes. "Sorry Addy I can't tomorrow. I have lunch with Aidan." I say t

"Yes, I'm fine. It's completely healedWe're at the house now getting your stupid gravy boatYes the one with the blue flowers. I have it in my handI will offer but I don't think he'll want toI'll talk to him and call you backOkayLove youBye""Ask me what?" Aidan butts in as soon as I put the phone down."The question was not for you." I state cheekily."What other 'he' is in your life that you would be asking questions to?" He playfully tackles me into a hug."No one." I giggle from over his shoulder. "I mean besides Ben, Nick and Jared there's no one." He growls playfully and smack me on the tush."You have quite an array of friends missy." He flops me onto the bed. He places his hands next to my head and leans over me."And aren't you glad that my favourite is your beta?" I mock seriousness."Delighted." He copies me.He leans down and

Jared, Ben, Nick and I are scattered around Chiara's room while we wait for her to pack when Aidan storms in."Jared, Ben, CHIARA we need to go! Emergency inter pack meeting." Aidan grinds out."Seriously?!" Chiara's muffled angst comes before she burst out of her closet."Ugh." Ben whines before walking over to Aidan."My sister said she'll come fetch you two now for some lemonade at her house." Jared says to me and Nick before walking out with the other 4. I know where Kimmy's house is but it's best that 2 rouges aren't walking alone through pack territory. Nick and I slowly make our way downstairs behind everyone.After about 5 minutes there's a knock at the door. I catch Kimmy's cotton candy scent immediately. When a wolf is pregnant her scent intensifies so that everyone knows exactly where she is. It's a protection thing since she isn't exactly the most capable at the moment. I fling my arms around a very pregnan

It's Monday morning and things are tense at school. It's been exactly 9 days since the rogue attack and all the pack members and rouges alike are tense and on edge. It doesn't help that all of The Hailers look ready to murder someone. That's probably my fault because when an Alpha is upset, the whole pack is upset because the feeling unconsciously spreads through the pack link.I mean after I told Aidan I loved him, he marked me and I freaked out. He insisted I stay the night. So many things were running through my mind that I couldn't sleep so I waited for Aidan to fall asleep and phoned Jared, begging him to take me back to my Uncles. I've been avoiding Aidan ever since.It was all too fast, I needed to figure out how I felt before talking to him so I avoided his calls and my uncles made excuses for me when he come over (the most common one was that Nick and I had gone grocery shopping. Since Nick was staying with us it made perfect sense). I also had to

I wait for Ben at his car when I catch Aidan marching towards me and Ben sauntering over with Nick. Of course Aidan gets to me first. He slams his hands on either side of hips down onto the car."Hey." I say sweetly."Why are you ignoring me?" He growls out."I'm not ignoring you." I place my hand on his chest to emphasise the lie."Yes you are and I want to know why." His voice gets angrier by the second, black starting to swirl in his gorgeous eyes. Sugar honey ice tea. If his wolf comes out we're all in shit."I'm really not ignoring you, Aidan." I glance over to see Ben has seen us and is rushing over. "I'm avoiding you, big difference."Aidan looks taken aback for a moment but quickly recover with, "why are you avoiding me? What did I do?""It's not you, it's me." I say as Ben reaches the car."Can we talk about this, please." He looks so confused I just want to kiss him and make i

I wake up to an empty, cold bed with a not on the bedside table.‘I’m sorry but I have to go to training and sort out other pack stuffSee you laterI love you’His sloppy handwriting puts a smile on my face. His clock glows in the dark room. 10:00. He should be done training and in his office.I pull on one of his button downs he left lying around and pad down to his office.To my surprise. His office has no one in it but is far from empty. It’s filled with all my presents!I sit on the floor and start opening them. Most of them are things Aidan and I would only use in a house of our own.‘Maybe we should have a house of our own.’ Elisa says curiously.‘We just moved into the pack house.’ I quip back.‘Well now that you might be pregers we’ll need a house to raise the pups.

“I’m hungry.” I mumble with my head propped up on both hands, eyes half closed and slumped into a kitchen island chair.“I know, baby.” He kisses my head and walks to the kitchen door. “I’ll look for an omega now.”We’ve been upstairs dealing with the heat since 3 this morning. We missed breakfast and lunch. And with all the activity, I’m starving. But I have no more energy left. Nothing. The heat’s settled down enough for us to come downstairs and eat something before going back upstairs to either sleep of fuck.Aidan comes back in to rummage through the kitchen to make us something. The omegas don’t like when pack members cook in the kitchen but if Aidan can’t find an omega to make me food, he’ll make me food. Like he always says, ‘you can have whatever you want.’ And if I want something to eat, he’ll make me something to eat.

I wake in the middle of the night tossing and turning. I have a raging headache and I’m so hot. I throw the duvet off and I’m still hot. Maybe it’s because of Aidan. Stupid wolves and their internal heating. So I throw his arm off of me and half-kick half-roll him away with my foot. Nope. Still hot. And it’s starting to get uncomfortable, like the heat is coming for under my skin and trying to melt me from the inside out.I can’t handle this. Getting up I head to the bathroom for a cold shower. The closer I get to the bathroom, the worse the burning fire gets and the foggier my brain gets. I manage to make it into the shower and turn the tap on before slumping to the floor.The waters so cold it makes my teeth clatter and my skin to break out in goosebumps. But the fire’s still burning. It burns my fingertips against my drenched clothes. It burns my touching thighs. It burns a path on my cheeks from the silent tears

"Ow!" The makeup artist pinches my cheek for the up tenth time today. The party is gorgeous. My dress is gorgeous and, despite all the poking and pinching, my hair and make up are gorgeous. I stand from my chair and straighten my dress."Oh my goddess!" Luna Leigh-Anne gasps from the door. "You look gorgeous."She begins to usher me to the party downstairs. Everyone is already here, laughing and drinking and dancing. It is all so perfect. I start walking around and greeting people, making idle chitchat. I'm talking to Ben's parents when warm hands wrap around my waist."Alpha. Luna. Do you mind if I steal my mate away?" He asks sweetly. They both shake their heads with a knowing smile. Aidan laces our fingers together and we walk through the party until we are in one of the board rooms. Once he closes the door, Aidan walks me backwards until the back of my legs hit the table. He lifts me up so I'm sitting and he kisses me. Deeply and pass

Elisa is a pain in my ass. All she does is criticize me for not fucking Aidan. And when I do fuck Aidan she complains that I'm on birth control so I won't get pregnant. I can only block her for about a day before her pestering reappears. She even tried to sabotage my appointment for my shot. I hate her and I've only had her for 4 days. But I have bigger things to worry about than her.It's Thursday which means my birthday ball is in 3 days. Luna Leigh-Anne is doing all of the heavy lifting because she loves party planning but I still have to make a few decisions about things.I'm currently looking through photos of flowers while arguing with Elisa about not dropping out of high school to be a mother while walking to my seat in maths. I sit in the window seat and no one sits next to me. But today I stop dead when a beautiful, tall, ash blonde goddess is sitting in the seat next to mine. She has a chemistry book infront of her and is writing things down in a

It's been two months since I've moved into the pack house with Aidan. Everything has been going smoothly ever since. I've been studying under Luna Leigh-Anne to take over when Aidan and I have to take over from her and Alpha Markus. I haven't had any more incidents with Hadley because of my two body guards, Sky and Adrian (the same ones that come shopping with me). They follow me everywhere which I don't mind except when it's trying to come into the girls bathroom. I wouldn't say we're friends but we all have a mutual respect for each other. I've drifted apart from Addy, we all have. She's under so much stress and won't let any of us help her. Poor Nick is going out of his mind. (Everyone seems to think their mates but I'm not so sure about it.) I have grown closer to Chiara. She has always been and will continue to be one of my favourite people. It's my birthday in a few days and we're having a ball to celebrate.That brings us to now. I'm standing in a dress shop look

That Accounting test was hell. I'm tired. I feel sick. I'm hungry. I am so sore. I'm currently sludging from Accounting to Chem. Ben had to get books from his locker so I'm walking alone. Walkings not the right word. I'm barely upright.Just when I think today can't get any worse, Hades wraps an arm around my shoulder."Hi Beautiful." His voice is like a nail on a chalk board. "Addy said you haven't wanted to meet with me. I can't see why you wouldn't. Are you avoiding me?""I've had a lot going on at the moment, Hadley." I half whisper just focusing on walking forward. "I haven't had time to meet you for coffee or whatever it is you wanted to do.""We have time now." He leads me into an open classroom and locks the door behind him. I don't have it in me to fight him as he leads me to a desk and lifts me so I'm sitting on it. He rubs small circles on my thigh and it feels like I'm being stung my a thousand bees."Just

I'm having the best dream about underwear shopping and just as I'm about to do a fashion show of my purchases for Aidan, my warmth is gone and I'm freezing. I didn't move so why's my duvet gone? I growl before reaching for the duvet to find it still covering me and hear a deep, sexy chuckle that causes a shiver to run down my spine. I roll onto my back and open my eyes to see Aidan walking towards the bathroom. I prop myself up on my elbows to look around the room but it's so dark my eyes have to adjust. The clock on Aidan's table saying it's because it's 4 in the morning. I groan as Aidan walks back into the bedroom. Goddess save me, he looks so good in nothing but his boxers. He would look even better if his boxers were on the floor. He'd look even better between… his sexy growl breaks my thought."What are you thinking about?" Aidan asks and I noticed he stopped walking back to bed."Why?" I ask with a bit of a cheeky undertone."Beca

We have been to 5 different stores and still nothing. I am officially exhausted and we still have 3 more stores to look in before we call it quits at the mall."How about some ice cream?" I suggest."Only if it has alcohol in it." Rae retorts. Rae is the Paulers beta. He is 25 so has taken over from his dad. Bens mom worries so she sent Rae to keep an eye on us."No Danika." Ben says dramatically. "Double Monday Underwear Owners get ice cream. Are we Double Monday Underwear Owners, hmm? Therefore no ice cream." He says definitively before walking into the next store. Rae moving like his shadow. I throw my head back and groan before starting the next 'exciting' look in the shop. Just as I'm about to walk in, a familiar voice calls me."Danika! Wait up!" I turn to see Dylan running towards me with a group of warriors casually following behind him. "I saw you and I just wanted to apologise for earlier. I was in such a bad mood earlier
