Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Three
I turned around, trying to trace back the route to the pack house, but we had gone so deep into the woods I would never make it. Of course he caught up with me. I couldn’t fight free of his hold.
“Thane let me go.” I begged just as I did that dreadful night. But once again he wasn’t listening; his hold on me was unbreakable. I struggled, harder than ever before, but that didn’t deter him; he seem to know every of my moves even before I made them. I kicked him in the groin, and that only pissed him off. He tossed me into the air like I weighed nothing, and my back slammed against the hard trunk of the tree. I dropped to the ground, a wave of pain washed through me. I rose slowly to my feet, but he was no longer in sight.
“Thane!” I called out, but no one answered.
I called out his name over and over, trying to find him, but all I succeeded in doing was getting myself lost. I had never come this far on my own; my back hurt, and there would be more bruises on my body, but that I didn’t care about. What I did care about was the fact that Thane was out there alone; he wasn’t in his right senses. What if something happened to him?
A twig snapped, and that cut me out of my trail of thoughts. I stood alert.
“Is just me” Axel’s familiar voice announced, and I let out a breath of relief.
“He’s gone Axel; we have to find him; we have to…”
“We would only after I get you back to the pack house,” Axel said, handing me the robe he had come along with, I put it on with little difficulty.
“You are hurt” he noted, but again my well being wasn’t what we should be worrying about
now.
“How did you know I was here?”
“I sensed Thane was disturbed; I guess he was trying to pass me some kind of signal; he knew what was coming.
What exactly happened?” he asks.
“We decided to take a run in the woods and then… I don’t know… he just changed all of a sudden,” I said, leaving some key details out of my little narration. I didn’t tell him how violent Thane had been, neither did I tell him about our little game that seemed to had begun it all.
“As of now he is alive and well; he will be back, Riley; you don’t have to worry, but you would need a healer” Axel said, picking me up.
“What are you doing?”
“I can’t let you walk, not in this state”

It had been two days now.
Anytime I asked Axel about Thane, he gave the same response.
“Thane will be back when he is ready.”
A part of me already knew what would happen after his return; he would consider himself too. dangerous for me, yet I didn’t want to think about living without him; I loved him, and I didn’t care what he was, it wouldn’t stop me from loving him.
After Axel had returned me back to the pack house two days ago, I spent a whole day with the healers, I also had to convince Axel that informing my mother about my situation was
unnecessary, as it would only lead to complications and more lies. My mother couldn’t know
the truth about Thane.
The healers had confirmed that nothing was broken and with their administration and my wolf’s healing abilities, I was finally discharged. Though my back muscles still felt tender.
I couldn’t sleep.
How could I?, When I knew Thane was out there, alone.
