Later that night, Abigail made a decision that she hoped wouldn’t ruin her career. She needed to get away from the wolves and Wild Junction for a few days, maybe a couple of weeks, just to clear her head. She slammed her finger on Brenton Kingson’s name in her phone and waited for him to answer.

“Yes, Abigail?” he answered, sounding exhausted.

“I was hoping you were okay with me taking a couple weeks off, check on my condo. That sort of thing. Maybe visit my family?” she asked, hoping he didn’t pry into her cover story. She called him so he couldn’t smell her, smell that she was running.

“Certainly,” Brenton answered. “Take the holidays off as well. You can resume after the New Year.” He sounded so distracted.

“Are you sure?” she pressed, trying to make sure he knew what he was agreeing to.

“Positive,” he growled softly. She swallowed a lump in her throat. She shouldn’t have questioned him like that. “I expect you back January second. The Pride is dealing with some things right now anyway, so we’re distracted and busy. Get out of town for a little while and it should be cool by January. This will also keep you out of our trouble.”

“Okay,” she mumbled. “Thank you, Alpha Ki- Brenton.”

“Have a nice holiday, Abigail. I’ll keep paying for that room at the hotel, so it’ll be yours when you get back,” he grumbled and hung up on her.

She looked at all her bags. She didn’t need to take all of them if he was going to keep the room going for her. She could just take a week or two worth of clothes and head out. Go back to her condo for a week, then to her parents’ for the holidays and then back to her condo. She could definitely afford the travel, and it’d give her the time and space to clear her head.

She needed to clear her head. What nearly happened in the woods was not okay. She wasn’t going back down that road, and she needed to remind herself why wolves, no matter how hot they made her, were off-limits.

She quickly loaded up her bags and dropped them on her bed. She sat down at her desk and looked on her laptop for flights. She would surprise her parents early, she decided. They would like that.

To think she had been hoping to skip a trip home for the holidays this year. Now she was desperate to get there, even if they did always remind her of her ex.

That was the best reason to go back: a reminder why to not do it again.
