We walked back to the hotel and I thanked him for dinner. James soon went up the stairs to his room and I to mine without another word. I went in, put my backpack on the side of the bed, and took off my clothes, throwing myself on the bed and staying there until I fell asleep.I woke up to a light noise coming from the window. I looked up and was surprised to see rain first thing in the morning. For the first time, I stood there in bed just watching. The weather was dark and at least I wasn't going to work. I turned to the side and stretched. On the one hand I would miss getting up, getting ready and going to the cafeteria, because at least I would be busy with something. But on the other hand, I was also grateful. I wouldn't be in so much danger being stuck here.Nothing better than sleeping listening to the rain at the window. James must be awake at this hour and cursing himself for having to go to work.I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep. I woke up two hours later with

When I arrived at the hotel, I saw Oliver looking at me from the front desk with a curious face. I took off my glasses and cap in a long sigh before closing the umbrella. " James had come out after you to look for you. " He soon spoke up. " He asked about you before he left." Of course you asked. " He found me. " I tried to give my best smile and kept walking. " Thank you. " He gave another smile. I'm glad he didn't ask about him. I climbed the stairs, made my way to my room, and went inside, closing it immediately afterwards. I put the umbrella by the window and dropped my backpack on the floor next to the bed. I put my hat and glasses on top of the nightstand and sighed again as I threw myself on the bed. "I feel like I've known you for a long time Sarah. I know you can feel it too." His words came back in my head and I didn't understand what it all meant. Suddenly I heard three knocks on the door. I looked toward it and sniffed the air to try to smell it. The faint f

" And where are we going? " I asked and looked at James. " Well, the first time I ran here, it was in a forest further away, almost out of the pack territory. It's a great place. There would be no reason for the wolves here to run so far away if there are forests closer. If they run today. " He concluded. " Got it. " " We will have to take a bus and get off at a stop outside the city. It will only take a few minutes. " " What a complication... " " No, it'll be fun, you'll see. " He smiled. We proceeded to the nearest bus stop and took the bus that went to the neighboring city. The bus we took was almost empty, so it was not a problem. We got off at one of the roadside stops just like James said. And just behind the bus stop, there was a small trail leading between the trees. I followed James in the rain and couldn't wait to get there soon. After about five minutes of walking, we arrived at what looked like a small shack where there was a water pump. " It's okay, no one's com

He looked around, seemed to observe the situation carefully, and when he saw some of his injured wolves, he stared at James immobilized by his more dominant wolves. Then he laid his eyes on me. Those orbs were so red and wild that they could frighten anyone in my place. I had never seen a wolf with eyes that color before. And that... that was not of this earth. I felt my breathing become heavy and my body tense up like it had never been before. But I still managed to bar my teeth at him and face him with hostility. James was closer to him than I was. It must have been hell. I looked at the lone man, who looked back at me worriedly. He was all bruised up, but he was still trying to get loose. He was shaking his head at me, but I didn't know what he meant by that. He growled and let out air through his nostrils and tried once more to bite the wolf beside him, but he couldn't loosen his grip. Alpha began to transform, and I lost the air in my lungs at his human form. He was tall, had

James"Is that any way to treat a guest?" I whispered, spitting out the blood that dripped from my mouth."You are not a guest. We just want to know where the she-wolf is.""I said. Why don't you look up your butt?" I looked at the dark-haired wolf and then turned my face to face the other one holding the chain. My voice was no longer as strong as I had imagined. I am destroyed.My skin was all burned because of the silver. The idiots made a point of leaving it raw."Will you continue playing with us?" he asked. "We don't want to kill you. Your female left the warning."The T-shirt that used to be white, was washed with blood."She is not my..." I stopped talking and spit up some more blood. These guys were getting rough. I think I'm getting a little dizzy, but I'm not going to fall for their teasing. "Why don't you call your Alpha here? I need to talk to him, not you.""He will still talk to you, lonely. You don't have to worry about that now. And believe me, it will be far worse if
