Chapter 51


    ~Aida~


    Thest few days have been crazy. I would have never imagined this is where I’d be right now. I


    thought we would be getting settled into our new roles and maybe nning a wedding ceremony. I was


    so close, almost getting precisely what I always dreamed of, and it was taken away from me without


    hesitation. “I know I deserve all of that and more.” I need to get out of this house. I need to get some


    fresh air and just figure some things out.


    “I’m not sure.” I walk down the hall slowly, paying close attention to my surroundings. “I’m just not sure


    that it will work.” I head outside, letting the sun beat down on me. “I can’t just do that. It’d be too


    suspicious.” I walk toward the treeline so I can take a run in wolf form.


    I hear a branch rack behind me. I whip around quickly and survey my surroundings. I don’t see anyone


    in front of me. I thought I saw a sh of color, but there is nothing there and nothing moving. I must


    have imagined it. “I do want that; I always have.” I turn back and continue on my journey. Hazel needs


    to stretch out, and I would love to let her take over for a while.


    I walk past the tree line and walk until I’m hidden from the packhouse view. “I supposed you’re right.” I


    stop at arge rock and step out of my sandals. I take off my shorts and tank top, fold them and ce


    them on the rock. “Ok, ok. I will make sure that’s what I do next.” I close my eyes and feel my bones


    snap into ce. I shake out my fur before letting Hazel take over. I have some things to think about.

    That was close. I thought I’d be able to escape my room and go for a quick walk without bumping into


    anyone. I figure I’d be out far enough that I’d be able to think. I really didn’t want to run into Luna


    Kimberly again.


    I made sure to wear an oversized hoodie so that if I dide across someone, they’d be more likely to


    disregard me. I just don’t have anything to say to anyone until I figure all of this out. Then I almost run


    into one of the twins. She was on the phone talking to someone. Strange that I couldn’t pick up who


    was on the other line, but it isn’t as if I cared that much.


    I quickly run away from her before she could fully turn and look at me. I’m not sure if she caught a


    glimpse or not, but I’m hoping she didn’t. I duck around a corner and lean forward to catch my breath. I


    wait for a while to see if she catches up with me. When she doesn’t, I keep walking ahead. I have no


    clear destination, but it doesn’t matter.


    The sun starts to go down, and the air gets a bit cooler. I don’t know how long I’ve been going or in


    what direction. I just took off with no consideration for an intended destination. I should stop and head


    back, but the thought makes me nauseous.


    I stop and look around me. I’m in the forest. I know I’m still on pds, but I’m not sure how far from


    the pack house I am. I see a small pond, and I make my way to it. It is a fairly big pond, and I can see


    frogs sitting on lily pads. The grass is a gorgeous green with specks of color (flowers). There are a few


    logs covered in moss along the side, and I decide to sit against one to rest.


    I look over the pond, trying toe to terms with the recent news. I really don’t know what to do. I’ve


    been after the twins for a while now, and I feel as if they are just my speed. They are future Alphas and


    sexy as hell. Being an Alpha’s daughter, I deserve nothing but the best. Then there is my fated mate.


    He isn’t who I’ve been after. What if he is nothing but a lowly Omega? I can’t be tied to someone who


    isn’t worth my time. I need someone to match me.

    I can hear leaves crunching, and I know someone ising toward me. I hear no voices, so they must


    be alone. I seriously contemte running away as I did earlier, but truthfully, I’m toofortable. I


    really don’t want to get up right now.


    I hear a gasp, and my nose fills with the sweetest scent, lemongrass and leather. Oh s**t! I slowly turn


    around ande face to face with the most brilliant light green eyes I’ve ever seen. My breath seems


    to catch in my throat. I don’t move……I feel like I’m frozen.


    My heartbeat picks up and starts to pound. My body starts to shake a bit. I want to escape; I want to


    run away and hide. My mind may want that, but my body isn’t responding. My body won’t move at all.


    “I…..I didn’t think anyone would be out here. I’m sorry. I’ll leave you alone.”


    I don’t want to be left alone. I want thepany; I want the conversation. I want to call out and say


    something, but it feels as if I forgot how to speak. My mouth feels dry, and my tongue is sticking to the


    roof of my mouth. I close my eyes, and I take a deep, shaky breath. It’s now or never, I guess. I’m not


    sure what this may lead to, but it has to start somewhere. “Wh….what’s your name?” My voice sounds


    weak as hell. I open my eyes slowly and see those green eyes staring back at me.


    “It’s ………my name is……it’s Mark. I’m Mark Ross, soon to be Beta.”
