Chapter Four

I lay on top of my covers and flipped from side to side. I couldn’t sleep. I still wanted the river. I highly doubted my holier-than-thou Judgy McJudgerson bodyguards would be down with a field trip, and right now, I didn’t give a fuck. I was frustrated, and not just with the constant restrictions. The feel of Drake and Roman’s hands, the intoxication of being so close to them in the parking lot clung to me, and I needed to shake it.

Climbing silently from my bed, I swapped my sleep cami for a sports bra and pulled on some running shorts. I slipped on my shoes and opened the door to the basement.

Putting a foot on the first step, I hesitated. Roman and Drake were likely at the front of my cottage, being all glarey and mad. What hurt the most about it was that Roman would probably never again want to dance with me like we’d done this afternoon. I hated that idea, and I hated that the thought of it hurt.

And that’s why I needed to move. I needed to run until the only thing I could hear was the pounding of my heart and the thud of my feet falling on the path. Everything in my mind would be obliterated by the rhythm of it, and to hell with these bodyguards who thought, like David, that they knew what was best for me.

Before I could overthink anything else, I went down the stairs to the storm basement, through the tunnel, and out of my house through the cellar doors twenty feet from the cottage. It was the only way to get away from my guards without them noticing. All was quiet on the compound, everyone sluggish from a pack run they’d done earlier in the evening.

Although I didn’t believe for a second that I was actually in danger, it didn’t mean I had to be an idiot. So instead of sneaking off the compound, I decided to run along the river where it bordered our land.

I was safe here. Wren’s premonition had said so, and my sister was never wrong. Even if it was possible, the compound had over forty shifters with their super smell and hearing and all. Help, also known as supervision, was never far.

Motion. It was the greatest thing in the world. It only took a few steps before my blood started pumping in anticipation. Running was so much like dancing, where I could forget everything else in music so loud I couldn’t hear myself think, in the heat of male bodies so hot everything else melted away. But sometimes I craved being lost in the sounds of solitude and nature, in the cool breeze spraying fine mist from the rushing river. That’s when I ran.

The ground was even along the sloped path that went from my cottage down to the trees. I didn’t need shifter sight to know the footing was solid. Wren and I had run this path since we were teenagers.
