17 seventeen

I took a deep shaky breath after Levi left and I couldn't see his figure anymore in the forest.

I was done crying, crying wasn't helping anymore. I had to get out of here. I couldn't stand being around Levi any longer. Maybe if I got far enough from him, the bond would grow weak and he wouldn't be able to track me down.

Although I studied werwolves a lot back home I didn't know too much about mates and marking. All I knew was that I didn't want to experience it, but look at me now.

I stood up on my feet and ran upstairs to the master bedroom. I threw a bunch of clothes around trying to find the perfect outfit. I found some jeans and a black tank top. Perfect.

I ran into the bathroom, stripped myself of the clothes Levi changed me in and turned the knob. Warm, comforting water splashed down onto my small body, washing away the sadness and replacing it with strength.

I looked down at my wrists that were slightly bruised from Levi dragging me yesterday. I gulped and shook my head. I have no time to be crying over the past.

After I finished scrubbing my body down i turnt the knob off and stepped out of the shower. I dried myself and slipped on the clothes.

I noticed the second bruise that was on my neck. I never really knew how much Levi was hurting me. On the inside and outside. That was going to end. I was no longer going to be emotionally and physically abused by an immature alpha that can't control his temper.

Running out of the bathroom I almost tripped five times. I didn't know where Levi went nor did I know how long he'd be gone. I have to leave urgently. I found a big black back pack and quickly started to stuff it with clothes, food, water and a wallet that Levi left on the living room table.

As I was filling my bag, some part of me was screaming for me to stop, for me to talk it out with Levi and give him a chance. The feeling made my stomach curl and my throat grow dry. I'm guessing that was the effect of the mate bond. I placed my hand on the throbbing wound on my neck and sighed.

I couldn't stop. Not now, not when I had a chance to actually live a normal life. Not when I had a chance to see my mother again.

I packed my back pack til I couldn't stuff anything in there anymore and ran out the front door. I had no idea where I was. All I knew was that I'd be going toward the pack if I went south. So, I'll go North.

I knew that the trip would take long considering when Levi first captured me and brought me to the pack the ride took about an hour.

At times I wish I could shift into a werewolf so I could just run my way there. It'd probably take about twenty minutes. But, I shouldn't complain. After all I have finally escaped from my captor and am about to be a free girl.

I smiled to myself and continued marching my way North. Maybe after I'll be able to find someone who can lead me to an airport or a train. I pulled Levi's wallet from out of my backpack and counted the money. There was at least six hundred dollars in here.

That would be enough to get me back to my home town and get me and my family out of this state. Then when we get far enough I could get a job and provide for my family.

I took a deep breath and stopped in my tracks. Each step I took a wave of pain hit my neck harder. It started off as a slight irritation but now it's grown into a stronger type of pain.

It was bearable, but was it ever gonna stop? Was it going to progressively get worse the farther I got from Levi?

I sighed and continued walking, pulling through the pain. I had gotten this far I can't stop now.

I eventually got to the border. There was supposed to be a wolf guarding this border but they weren't here. I wonder where he was.

I didn't think about it and lifted my foot up, placing it down on the other side of the line. I did the same with the other foot and smiled. I was out of his land. I was free of the beast who kept me captive. I continued marching north.

Levi's POV

After Charlotte stormed out I finished a few calls with the alphas in the neighboring packs. We had our yearly meeting coming up and I just know Naomi is going to make it hell for me.

But, on the bright side, she'd be going out of the cabin for awhile and maybe I'll allow her to see her mother and father. Depending on how she acts, we can possibly come up with an agreement so she can see her family once every week.

But for that to happen I have to be more patient and more gentle. And she also needs to meet me half way in this relationship. All we're doing is tearing each other apart.

I leaned back in the comfortable chair and shut my eyes.

I was quickly broken out of my thoughts seconds later when a voice was heard in my head. 'Alpha, we caught the scent of a human girl crossing the border. She crossed a few hours ago when I was fighting off rogues.'

I growled in annoyance. A sudden chill crawled up my spine. It was the feeling I got earlier today when I was walking away from Naomi. I'm guessing it was because I was getting too far from her.

My eyes widened and my body tensed. I quickly mind linked him back, 'get closer! What's her scent like?'

I waited in fear, a few seconds later the border wolf spoke. 'She smells like you, alpha.'

I slammed my fist down on the desk, creating a huge crack in the middle of it. "Damn it!" I stood up from my desk and quickly ran out the room.

She left. She fucking escaped right under my nose. I should've never left her there by herself after I did those acts. Of course she'd be persuaded to run away!

Once I got outside the pack house I shifted into my blonde-brunette wolf and ran as fast as I could. She crossed the border at least three hours ago so she had to be pretty far right about now.

But, she was a mere human. How fast could she go? Shit! If she's not on my land I can't insure her safety! What if a rogue gets her?

I growled and pushed my wolf to go faster. There was no way my mate was going to get hurt because after I find her I'm never taking her out of my sight.
