Well, it happened. My worst fear came true. Ericka now hates my guts and is afraid of me. The cat was out of the bag despite all my attempts to stuff it in there as best as possible. I switched back to wolf form and ran to my cabin as fast as I could. I felt so many tears well up in my eyes that I couldn’t see where I was going. I kept blinking and closing my eyelids to push the tears out, but it didn’t help much.

I ran past the two wolves who were placed on the lookout by my uncle. I just wanted to go inside the cabin and cry my eyes out until tomorrow. I transformed back into human form and I twisted the doorknob so fast before I burst into my cabin and ran into the living room. I laid face down on one of the couches and soaked the pillow's fabric with my tears. I absorbed the warmth of the couch up against my body and I took comfort in it.

I haven’t let myself be vulnerable to anyone in my life, and I certainly haven’t been this close to anyone either. Ever since my dad died at the hands of my uncle, my heart has turned to stone. That was until I gave Ericka the keys to access it. Then the stones melted away from my heart and it grew four sizes. My heart grew for her. She became my weak spot.

I’ve been running away for so long that I’m a stray. Stray wolves are a big no-no in the werewolf race. We either belong in packs or spend the rest of our lives defending ourselves from pack alphas who want to make us a part of them. I don’t want to join a pack more than I don’t want to give up meat.

I want to be a free wolf for the rest of my life because there’s nothing oppressive more than living under the rule of a pureblood alpha. I value my freedom more than any pack on this earth, and I haven’t been part of a pack ever since my dad’s untimely and violent passing. I wanted to make sure it stayed that way.

That’s why my uncle is in Appleton with his wolf pack. I can’t fight against a pack on my own, so I got my uncle to come here from Washington. He wanted a chance to make it up to me, and I needed someone to help me fight off any pack that may force me to join. It was a win-win situation, even though the idea made me sick to my stomach. But I’m desperate. I need all the aid I can get.

I spent so much time on the couch crying over Ericka that I lost track of time. I felt like I’ve been crying for ten minutes, maybe even twenty. Who knows? Time was now frozen in my life. It felt like my life stopped because Ericka was no longer in it.
