What the hell was I thinking. My heart and my mind were on two totally different levels. I couldn't think straight as I drove on through the night. My wolf whined so much that I wished I could beat the shit out of her until she shut up. Damn I missed +Slade Michaels to the point that I almost turned the truck around and drove straight back home. Home? No, I shook my head. That wasn't my home any more. I had no right to be happy. I was a misfit among society and deserved nothing but misery. The nightly cutting wasn't helping my heart, but the pain made me justify the reason I was leaving behind the male I loved. I knew he would be hurt, but in time he would heal and find another, right? Growling at the thought of another woman in his arms, brought another round of tears to my eyes. I believed this was the fair thing to do and leave before the wedding.
* Once +Loretta Blackstone told me what she needed I got up and left. Julian handed me his car keys and +Takahiro Yanahi DPI followed me out of the conference room. I was on the verge of losing it, my baby sister was missing. Taken by a witch and I had no idea why they would even want her. The thought's going through my mind of what might be happening to her were dark. I feared for her. I hurried down the hall and burst through the front door of the police station. I needed fresh air and solitude, I knew I couldn't hold myself together much longer. * "Kimiko, yamero." {Kimiko, stop.} * I stopped, but refused to turn around, tears slid down my face and I was ashamed that I was so weak at this moment. Taka turned me gently and pulled me against his chest, slipping the car keys from my hand. Wrapping his arms around me, he let me cry. * "Watashitachiha kaiyo o mitsukerudeshou, watashi wa yakusoku shimasu." {We'll find Kaiyo, I promise."} * I wrapped my arms around his waist. His gentle voice, embrace and his scent helped to calm me. I looked into my mate's eyes. * Why would they want her, Taka? Do you think that Senichi could be behind this? * My mate seemed to think for a minute. * "You and I know Senichi best. We could guess his next move in any situation and act on it before he even had to say anything. He knows he's gonna have to do something that we would never consider. I'm not saying he is behind this, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is." * I nodded, I knew he was right. Taka kissed me. * "Let's get to the house and get what Miss Blackstone needs." * I slipped into the passenger side of Julian's car and tried to pull myself together as Taka drove us to the house. *

Up ahead I saw a shimmering light. Blinking a few times didn't help to take the blurriness away. I knew I needed rest but if I did that there was a possibility of my mate catching up to me. That is if he did decide to even come after me. Part of me hoped he did, but I knew it would be in our best interest if he didn't. Gritting my teeth as I again felt the burn of my mating mark. The bite seemed to hurt more the further I drove away from the male. As I came closer towards the lights in the distance I noticed it was a diner. As if on cue my stomach rumbled loudly. At least if I wasn't going to stop and get some sleep I should feed myself so I would have the energy to continue my journey
ReplyDeletePulling into the deserted parking lot relief settled over me when I noticed the open sign was lit up. Good thing, now I could fill up my complaining belly. When I was about to get out of the truck something sparkled from the corner of my eye. Looking down I realized I was still wearing the ring +Slade Michaels had given me. Its as if the piece of jewelry was teasing me with a whisper saying I should put a stop to my running and go back. But what kind of life would that be? I didn't deserve my mate or the pack. I couldn't stop the cutting or the dark nightmares or even be accepted. Even though I was the Beta's female it didn't mean that those that still hated me would ever forgive me. See I was making everyone's life better by not being there, right? Signing softly as I began to remove the ring. Tears slid down my cheeks before I placed it on the seat next to me. Maybe someone in the diner would be able to tell me where the nearest post office was. It would only be right to send it back to Slade. He would find a woman much more deserving of the piece. Sniffling while I quickly wiped the tears off my face before I climbed out of the vehicle. As I headed towards the small eating establishment a pain shot through my right shoulder. Turning my head slightly as I reached behind and pulled a dart from my shoulder. What the hell! Before I could face my attacker another one hit me right between my shoulder blades. "Fuck!" I growled while turning around. Already my vision was becoming blurry and my knees began to buckle. I could hear footfalls and see shadows approach me as two men began to converse. My thoughts began to swirl but the wolf inside me snarled wanting to attack. When I looked up from my kneeling position on the ground my head was greeted with a swift kick to my face before darkness claimed me.
