the light at the end of a very long day.

| was daydreaming about the sex Aspen and | had this morning as I locked the apartment door. Sarah came

running down the hallway and pulledfrom my dirty thoughts. She was panting as she stopped in front of me.

She braced herself with a hand on the wall.

| crossed my arms over my chest, waiting for her to tellwhat was going on. She went out this morning to

meet with our guy who sells us descenter pills. We were almost out and we needed them to blend into the pack.

“Sarah, | need to get to work. Aspen was called away and couldn't drive me.” | tried to walk past her but she

stopped me.

“We have to leave. My guy didn’t show up and the Luna was at the mall. | asked around and the pack has

closed the door.

“And what if we get caught? Do you really think the alpha will have any choice but to give us back? He won't go

to war for us, Tess. | know you like Aspen but we need to move on.” She demanded. Tears ran down my cheeks

as | looked at my best friend. My best friend, who without question, ran away with me. Packs on the other side of

the country are run differently than they are here. Women born in ranks. don’t have a say in who their mates

are. We go to whomever our father’s deans worthy. And the man who my father had lined up forwas a

monster. He was also fifteen years my senior.

“Hey, | know you don’t want to leave him, but right now we don’t have a choice.” She gripped my arms and |

didn’t realize | had closed my eyes. She was standing in front ofwith misty eyes.

“Let's pack what we need.”

| cried as | packed a backpack and dressed in my warmest clothes. Sarah and | were headed to the bus station to

get on the earliest bus out of there. | don’t know where we are going but for the first time, | didn’t

care.

After meeting Aspen, | pushed him away for this reason but I couldn't help the pull | felt towards him. He made it

easy to forget all about my shitty life before him. And now the pain in my heart was too much to bear as |

watched Sarah unhook both our keys and set them on the

table.

“I know, babe. Con, we need to leave.” | walked beside her on autopilot as we left the apartment building

stuck between a rock and a hard place. Why did my life have to be so complicated?

Sarah and | rushed to the bus station with everything we needed on our backs. We took whatever money we had

saved, which was much but would get us away from this place. When we got to the station, | let her buy the

tickets and took a seat on one of the benches. | pulled my hood up over my face to block it from the cameras.

| looked out the big bay windows as the snow started to fall. More tears rolled down my cheeks as my heart

twisted painfully with what | was about to do. My phone chimed in my pocket and | pulled it out to find a

message from him. From the man, | wanted so badly to love me.

“Babe, giveyour phone.” Sarah sat down besideand grabbed my phone before | could message him

back. It was probably a good thing before | told him everything. She quickly removed the SIM card before giving

“The bus leaves soon and is boarding. We are going to one small town before we switch busses,” she explained

but | was only half listening. | knew the plan. We would bus jump for a few days before finding a city we could

blend into.

“Con, Tess, I'll buy you ssnacks before we leave.” She wrapped her arms around my shoulders before

kissing my temple. | nodded, knowing she was trying to makefeel better, but not even chocolate could fix
