“I’ll let you run for now. But remember this little mate. No matter where you go, I’ll always find. Because there’s one thing that thrills me the most. A chase.” The Beast whispered a wolfish smirk on his face. His deep voice sending chills through my spine.

He stepped aside giving me and Lilli the chance to run away all the while still looking at me intensely. My heart ached at his action ‘Stop feeling this way Ruba! You’re not supposed to feel this way towards a beast!’ I thought to myself.

We went outside and almost bumped into Ruby. She looked calmer than before, which was assuring considering that before her eyes turned golden not black like a normal werewolf. I decided on ask her later seeing that now is our opportunity to actually leave.

“Let’s get out of here before he changes his mind.” Lilli said ushering us to step out of the territory. My heart felt heavy for some reason, but I pushed the feeling at the back of my mind then headed towards to end of the territory. Ruby kept looking at me with concern as if she knows my feeling even though, I’m 100% sure, she doesn’t. She held my hand and whispered,

“It’s going to be okay” At that statement, my eyes started to tear up for some unknown reason resulting with Ruby hugging me. I started crying silently on her shoulder, all the while Ruby was whispering “It’s going to be okay, we can return back whenever you want to. Don’t hide the pain, and when it gets too much, we will return back.”
