CHAPTER 15

My feet ran, never stopping. I couldn’t stop, I didn’t want to stop. If I stopped I would remember that woman back in Clara’s arms, and how I couldn’t fix her. My mother would always be an empty shell. She’d never feel love for me.

Run. Keep running.

Run, girl. Run.

And I did. Over fields, and across the plains, I ran as fast as I could. At that speed, I sensed everything around me, all the animals and smells, and even a few humans hiking without a care in the world. Eventually, even at my top speed, I felt something enter my radar.

It was Knight.

His breathing was normal like this was a light stroll, and he grinned knowing I could see him behind me. I slowed down just enough so he could catch up. He passed me with a laugh, so I followed my mate through the forest. Having him by my side, running as fast as I could, I felt happier than I had in a very long time. The weight of all that we had going on, and all that was going to happen, it all fell away.

Neither of us could feel the effects of the run, so it was really a matter of when we decided to stop, and I didn’t want to stop. I bobbed and weaved around Knight, catapulting off trees and showing off my perfect balance. He grabbed at me and we tumbled into a pile of leaves.

We were laughing, kissing, and so close to giving into our desires, when Knight stopped. I started asking what was wrong, but he put his finger up for me to be quiet. The wind changed directions, and I smelled what Knight had sensed.

Lycans.

I’d been so busy paying attention to Knight that I hadn’t seen them nearby. There was a pack, a dangerously large one, and our smell enraged them.

Knight took my hand and said, “Run.”

We ran again, back towards the village, this time in a rush. I pushed my senses out to track where the pack was. They were gaining on us. A lone vampire and a werewolf that couldn’t transform without the full moon. We were no match for a Lycan pack.

We gained some ground, and I thought we might lose them, until I tripped over something and went down. My leg seared in pain and I smelled my blood running. Knight stopped, picked me up, and kept going. With our decreased speed, the pack was quickly gaining ground. They were going to overtake us.

Knight stopped when it was too late to keep going. He backed me up to a tree and got between me and the wolves.

“I love you, Lis,” he whispered.

I took his hand. “I love you.”

The wolves descended. The pack numbered in the dozens. I smelled the Alpha approaching through the ranks, and peeked out from Knight’s neck. Half were in human form, the other half in wolf. The Alpha, in human form, stood tall at the head. He had long blonde hair in braids and his face was sharp angles and cheek bones.
