"Is that why you were being weird the day you all captured me? You were trying to piss him off?"


    "Not really, but it was a bonus. I didn''t know he gave Tyler the hands-off order, but he failed to give it to everyone. I just wanted to see how far I could push Tyler and if I could get him to admit that he still wanted you."


    "How much time?" Jena asks gruffly from next to me, breaking our tense conversation.


    "Thest pass for the next thirty minutes should be going by any second now."


    As he finishes the sentence we see two patrol wolves run by. Faster than a jog, but not like they were in a hurry to get somewhere.


    "As soon as they clear that bank of trees we can go. I will take you as far as I can. I am still bound to this ce and to mymand. There is only so much work around I can find. Go!" He whispers to us and takes off.


    We are running as fast as our weakened muscles will take us. Jena was locked up for over a year, I have no idea how long I was in there but it can''t have been more than a week or two. My body hurts and my muscles are screaming, but I keep looking back to make sure Jena is right behind me. I will carry her if I have to. She deserves to be free.


    "Almost there." Robbie shouts over his shoulder and I feel myself start to smile. But it was too soon to celebrate. A gray and white patched wolf barrels into Robbie and Jena and I both scream. "Keep running! You''re almost there." He yells at us while trying to hold the wolf off.


    Butl slow down, I can''t just let him die for us, not like this. I have to help, but I don''t know if I am strong enough to do any good, or if it will just make everything worse and get us caught again. I can''t do that to Jena either. I am torn between saving these two people.


    Jena gets past me and yells "Let him go, he chose his fate." As she continues to run aimlessly away from the underground prison that has been her home for so long.


    "I can''t just let him die, he helped us out. He needs at least a fair fight."


    "There is nothing fair about any of this. Let''s go!" She keeps running, leaving me behind, but I know I will easily be able to catch up.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    I look around and see no one else near us. I take a chance and run at Robbie, shifting in mid air. I jump on top of the gray wolf and sink my teeth in the space between his neck and shoulder. I taste the blood filling my mouth and I open to take another bite out of the howling monster''s shoulder. I make eye contact with Robbie, hopefully letting him know I want him to fight his way out of this before I jump off and turn back to Jena. I stay in my wolf form, feeling stronger like this. When I reach her I kneel down next to her so she can climb on. We will be faster this way. She doesn''t hesitate and jumps up to my wolf''s shoulders.


    Before I can run I am hit from the back and Jena goes flying off. It''s Tyler''s dark gray wolf and he looks possessed. Ready to kill me for his Alpha. I am not going down without a fight. He sold me out even wher his mate was cheating on him and then died for her crimes. He still gave me to his sick and twisted Alpha. This will end with his death. I let my anger surge and fuel my actions.


    He tries to circle me, but I won''t let him get between me and Jena. I snap at him every time he gets too close. He growls and lunges, but he is no match for my skill I quickly find out. For all the appearance of training that they do, they are no stronger than humans. I injure him over and over again, everytime he lunges at me he''s slower than thest, bleeding from the many wounds and scratches I have inflicted. And then I see it, his eyes looking straight into my soul. He wants to die, he wants to finally be with his mate the way she never would in life. He wants out of this hell as much as Jena and I. He''s not trying to fight me, he''s trying to goad me.
