We hide the car in an alleyway quite away from the motel that we want to stay in and we launch into it. We also get some new clothes from a shopping Mart that is close to it and some good food. Victoria has taken a shower while I tried to get service from the phone. The moment I get service from the phone, I immediately place it close to my ear as I dial the number of the temple.There is like a number that they usually call an emergency number. The were supposed ti call every time they were in deep shit, which is exactly what they are in right now. So, we call the number and I'm waiting hoping them they pick up the call.“ Please pick up.” I say.I need to hear anyone's voice even if it is Dean. I want to hear no matter how indisposed we are right now. I just want to hear him. I want to hear what he's thinking. I want to hear what you wonders about me literally everything.And the moment the call comes in. The voice I hear is Rose and for a second, I though it was Dane. I must have
The next morning we get up ASAP to start the journey. Victoria taps on my shoulder and I wake up with such shocked expression. As she looks at me and apologizes. I have been in this situation before and being here right now is actually killing me. I get up immediately and she's just already looked through the windows.My guess is that time is 4am. “We have got to go.” I can hear sounds of someone asking questions. I don't know if they're the cops or whatever they are. “We have to leave here.” She says and I get up immediately. “I begin to put on my shoes without waiting for another second.” This is one of those times when I try to breath properly because I just feel like everything I do takes me back to that particular time when Dane got me. “At least, it was just the him the caught me that time.” Imagine if it were something else that came up my door and take me out of here. But at least now I know my powers I'm different from how I used to be in the moment.Now, I have company
Finally, we get to the first checkpoint. This is a place where it we're going to be caught…we would have definitely been caught. But it looks like heavens is on our side because we ended up passing after the cops, they take a look at our plate numbers, and they asked us to go through. Well, I must regard Victoria and just thank heavens, she's such a genius because I would have never done about it. I would have worked a costume, walked closer to the check point and looked like someone that has been involved in human trafficking. But that is just me and that is what I would have done. I'm not saying anyone would have the same. “It looks like we pass the first one.” I say to her and I smile as we drive past. It is a long freeway. Once again, she picks up the phone and it begins to ring. I pick it immediately and put it on speaker. Hey, the first voice I hear is Dane’s voice and my heart just kind of freezes. It's the voice I wanted to hear yesterday night but I didn't get to hear i
The moment we all get into the car, we drive away instantly. And I'm taking time to actually breathe. I can't believe that we escaped it. I cannot even believe that I'm right here in this moment away from what I thought was going to consume, not just me but Victoria. I cannot believe it. I feel as though something heavy as we put her off my shoulder, but I cannot still relax. There is still fear that all of this is not gone away, and that at any moment, it will fall back and consume me. It is until Dane puts his hand on top of my hand I realized that I'm safe. I look behind to see if there are any cars following me or if there is anything that could possibly give the idea that I'm not safe, but there is nothing I'm safe. I ask myself in my heart and this is only for me to answer. Dane reaches out to me and gives me a hug. I let his presence sink in and I let everything that I've been through from one moment to another just disappear. It feels like the most tortured day of my lif
“I mean… of course, I know what you're about to say.”“What you are about to say will change nothing.” Victoria says.Whereas, every thing is going to change and you know more than everyone that basically everything is going to change. Well, you're going to pretend like that is not the issue. Do you think you're still an alpha? Victoria says and he looks at her. “Of course, I'm still an alpha.” What do you think I am? “No, your brother Dane is the alpha.” It's no longer you. Your pack members are not just going to submit their power, let you route them. Once again, they would question you and ask you where you've been all this time. Why weren't you there to be enough in the manner that she asked questions. And that even question is what my place is exactly. So, if you think are going to return back to you to pack they are not sure whether is used and you're really wrong. “For goodness sake of each other…we're not even there yet.” Yes, we're not there yet. But I know how this shit
The next morning, we begin to pack our belongings but anyone with eyes and ears can see the discrepancy within all four of us. The first reason for the discrepancy is that Max not stepping into the pack. As the Alpha, once again, Max feels like he has no place, Victoria doesn't even want to come along because she has this independence lifestyle and no matter what position you are in life.She will not leave her life for anyone.At my door, yesterday I heard a discussion that he had with Max and I have to say. It is a stupid thing that I thought there was a way for us to work things. I was even more ignorant to believe that Dane was a man who could move on from his love at first sight quite immediately.Dane cannot just easily move on from her just like that and this conversation made me realize that I've been on the worst side of it all was I think.I and Victoria are not enemies as we used to be anymore, but I wish I knew where to stand with her. One second to go. I'm feeling bet
Together, we all get into the house that I've been away from, for so long. It feels like some kind of movie to leave the space and come back but not the same way. And honestly, I don't even know how to explain the thoughts behind it. At least, it's not going to be as empty as it was when it was only I and Dane that stayed here. Max and Victoria are yet to occupy all of the spaces that were supposed to be in.Victoria is someone who talks a lot, but she hasn't been able to say so. Since we got here, I wonder why that is. But I'm not asking any question and no one wants to answer. I'm definitely not going to be the reason why an argument becomes. I can already tell that the tension in the air is quite thick already. It just need someone to literally light it up and see how far it could burn. I'm definitely not going to be that person who lights it up. I'm definitely not going to be the person who's this idle and watch someone else do it. “We're all walking on the edge here.” There i
She's still talking, Dane is trapped in the orbit of her eyes. And all of the things that he has been basically building and keeping right inside of him.He moves closer to her, grabs her face and pulls her race closer for another round of that spectacular kiss across the lips. The kiss lingers deeply and slowly, sensational doors that were never there before, open.It's like a bliss from heaven and he cannot even begin to explain how his wolf wants to devour every part of her skin and every part of her scent. It's the attraction that makes him know that there is something between him and Victoria that physical eyes cannot capture.It goes on for like ten seconds, that is how long this kiss was shared. But the feelings still linger and they do not need anything to prove it between the both of them that there was something they needed to talk about later on. The kiss was such a powerful one that the moment they separate from each other, he walks off from the room and Victoria just sit
“We stay in our designated lane to attack when the time comes.” We have made the plan very well. Now, the only thing I'm thinking about is how the saint brothers caught us the last time.I and Victoria are standing in the circle where we been told to stand and everything feels surreal. I cannot believe that so soon. We're already planning our attack towards them. I just hope that it goes well. I raise my head when I begin to hear the sound of footsteps drawing closer.In a few minutes, the saint brothers walk to meet us and I raise my head. I can see the smirk on their faces when they find out that Jonas has brought them two hybrids.They probably think what's the catch? And what the price is for whichever one of us they actually want. I cannot wait for them to be destroyed from the face of this earth. I take a very deep breath and I didn't realize that Victoria is holding my hand until I stare at our palms that are entwined together. “Oh my goodness.” It is the same girls we caug
Victoria has continued her life. She hasn’t really spoken ever since she saw what Max and what he was doing. Them, she decided that she was not going to care about whatever he did again. Yet, she cannot seem to focus on what needs her focus. She comes out from class and there is sweat profusely sipping from her forehead and she doesn't even realize it. She locks shut locket and she begins to head out of school.She can see Maria, walking right in front of walk and normally, she will try to start a conversation and say, whatsoever she has in our mind, but this time she just walks past. Maria sees that she walks past and she can tell that something is definitely wrong with her and because Dane has finally talked about the reason why this had happened. Maria believes she can actually have a conversation with Victoria. A conversation that does not involve the both of them trying to kill themselves or trying to show that they've got the upper hand whatsoever. Maria walks towards her o
The moment I get home I see Jonas, he literally just pops up from nowhere and begins to walk towards me. I shake my head in disapproval when I see him. I know he's trying to apologize, he's going to do as much apology as he can to make me not hate him for what he did. In fact, I do not hate him for what he did. I could never hate him. He is the love of my life and he will continue to be that to me. He is definitely stronger than Dane and he knows that why did he have to enter into the fight? Are you seriously angry with me? He says.I stop facing him, wondering what exactly he is thinking by that statement? Am I supposed to be happy with him for beating Dane? “Yes, he may be my ex boyfriend but that doesn't mean anything.” I will continue to be angry because it was so unnecessary. It basically did not have to happen. And yet it did. “Yes, I'm angry at you.” And why is that such? Why is it such a shock to me? He came into your room and you did nothing about it. He says and my facia
Maria drops Dane on the bed after dragging and wobbling him down the stairs, and then, other sorts. Honestly, she did not ever think she would make it. But now that she has made it, she's about to walk right straight out without even looking behind when he grabs her. Dane grabs her hand before she can leave and she faces him.“It is because of the decency that she has left in her soul that made her decide to bring him home.”At the end of the day, she doesn't want to have anything to do with him. So, it wasn't meant to be relationship, it was just because she puts it in the look on his face alone shows that he is going through a lot.She doesn't know why he is going through a lot or why he is looking this way. The reason for him breaking up with her is the most insensitive thing on this earth but yet it happened and she had to live with it.But he's also human and he makes mistakes and she has grown from that mistake and because she has grown from that mistake, she's able to forgive
After Dane has gotten the confrontation and information that he wasn't expecting, it has a hard time heading towards the car. As much as it wants to keep moving. There's just this freezing in the step on your face as if he cannot take another step forward. She is completely different from the person who used to or maybe it's because it wasn't prepared for this new home. She's definitely moved past from him. I will never be looking at him. Again, irrespective of where they land. did not think that this would be easier. But then he didn't think he should be accepting either. He has always been a strong person in it and this is no different. He is about enter into the car when he hears a footstep right behind him. Dane looks back—thinking it is Maria until he got that scent that proves it isn’t. He catches it before even facing back, it assures him that it is not Maria. Dane looks back and sees Joan’s behind him and his brows lift. The moment his eyes catches him, he crunches his fi
I have said this many times, how many times do you have to be told there is no us in this anymore? You and I, it's over!“I am with Jonas now, and I love him very much.” “ I know what love tastes like, I know what love is supposed to smell like…I know how love is supposed to treat someone.” Love isn't supposed to cheat on you with someone else that you were already becoming close to someone you are considering to be a friend love. “I'm supposed to do that and you're kind of love does all of this shit, doesn't it?”“Yeah, blame me for all of that.” Dane says.What do you mean by blame you for all of that!? You basically did all of that. You're asking me to blame you, dude.“It's your fault. I say to him, but I don't ever want to have an argument with him.” Jonas is right downstairs and I shouldn't be in the room where I just finished making love talking to another guy. “You need to leave, right now.” Yeah, I know. Dane says and he increases his voice. “Reduce your voice, he could
I wake up from the bed and Jonas is right next to me. I didn't know what I was expecting but I wasn't expecting him to be right so close to me where I could see him, smell him. All of that which I never thought I will ever do again. It's easy for me to look at this moment and remember how far I've come along I've put myself in this place. And how I got here. It's also easy for me to stay here forever, and I look out of it for a second and I love every bit of it. The feeling of being in his arms, being protected and so often, not knowing if he's making a fool of me or something. He captivates my heart in ways that I cannot fully process and I’m just seeing myself here right now. I'm in love with this situation where I am right now. I'm not scared. I'm not trying to understand where he stands. When it comes to me. I know where he stands. I hold on to where he stands. I have the perfect scenario hooked up in my head and there was no dogs that walks around me when I tell myself that h
Dane has a smile on his face in the presence of Elena, he has finally been able to see the brighter light of everything and workout the things that seemed to kind of want to swallow him up. She is giving an intel about her journey, who she met on the road and what it is like to be out of the city, and just how the news is brought back. “So, Victoria and Max are hybrids.” Elena says and he nods his head.“I cannot believe that Max is alive.” When I heard that Max was alive, I thought it would be such a great thing to help you . I know that you struggle a lot with the burden that rests on your shoulders, but I did not realize that there was more danger at hand or we could have ever imagined. “I'm really happy that Max's life she says to him, and he nods his head.” Yes, I'm happy too, I guess my brother's life was never lost. And I guess I know the reason why they were attacking him. “So this saint brothers and Jonas, you believed you're still working together?”Do you not trust him
Dane is in his feelings.He is not in the right mindset, right now and nothing is looking good for him. He cannot even bring his focus to on one spot—everything seems to be in disarray.Here, his mind is in multiple places at a time. He basically has a responsibility of taking care of the whole pack. The curse lies on the back and it seems like no one understands how heavy the weight lays on his shoulder. Do they think all he does is give others and command, authority toe everyone. They do not realize the influence or the adverse effect of what his orders and command may do to him.The lives that he needs to protect. His brother was known to be dead for an abrupt time and before it was revealed, he had to put up with a girl who was supposed to be the reason why his credit was put in danger in the first place. He fell in love with her. And later, he decided that he was no good for her because there was a responsibility that laid on our shoulder that he needed her to realize. And be
