I quickly change back, So I can tell him off once and for all.
“You don’t deserve an easy death or my sympathy. You’re just as bad as Mike for trapping me and who knows how many other people here. F*ck off! Find another person to take you out of this world, you coward.” I turn and run towards where I saw Jena fall.
I see her brown hair in the grass. She isn’t moving, so I race to her faster and flip her over.
“Jena! Jena, talk to me.” She groans and then coughs.
“I haven’t been thrown around in a while, this sucks.” She tries for a joke.
I shift again and nuzzle her onto my back. I won’t be able to run as fast if she doesn’t hang on, so I hope she figures that out quickly.
More growling sounds behind me as more wolves join the fight. So much for having a thirty minute head start. I take off. I can’t look back any more. Jena is right Tyler and Robbie chose their fates and they need to live or die with those choices. I just hope Robbie finds a way out for his redemption. My wolf runs and runs. We just keep following the flashes of light we’ve been seeing since we got out of our cell. I hope it really is the Moon Goddess guiding me and not my imagination looking for things in the middle of nowhere.
I feel a whoosh of hot air blow past me as we pass from an open prairie to a grove of trees and then my brain explodes with the sounds of voices. Voices I have missed yelling and screaming my name.
“Sky!”
“Skylar!” “Midge!”
“Little One. Thank the Goddess. We’re on our way, hold tight. Can you talk to me?”
“Hi Alpha Reggie. Hey guys.” It’s all I can sob over the mind link. I can feel the tears streaming from my wolf’s eyes and onto her fur. They can hear us. I think to my wolf. Are we really finally out of that?
“We are for now, sweet girl. I don’t think they are following us anymore.” Even at her words I don’t slow down. I want as much distance as possible between us and that horrible place. “Alpha Reggie, I have someone with me and she’s going to need some medical attention. They’ve had her for a year. Get Doc Sylvia, no one else.”
“On it Little One.”
“Nickolas, Gentry is still alive, but she isn’t with me. I’m sorry I couldn’t get to her, but she helped us escape.”
“It’s okay, Midge. She knows what she’s doing. I can still feel her. I know she’s okay. I’m glad she was able to help you. We’re almost there.”
