| take her face in my hands. “Do you understand?”
“yes”
| reach down and kiss her quickly. “Go, I'll be there in less than 30 minutes, bet ready to leave.”
| run to my hotel, grab my backpack then head to the bus station, looking for the next scheduled bus. The next
one won't leave for an hour, but that givesenough tto get Grace and get back. I buy two tickets and run
back to her apartment.
| can hear the wolves in the forest. They have found her and are surrounding her apartment. | run up to her door
and knock. “It's me, we have to go now.”
She opens the door, a bag over her shoulder. “I need to stop and tell Benny.”

“There's no time, you can call him from the bus. They're here. We can’t fight an entire pack.”
| watch as her eyes go wide. But she closes the door and we begin to jog back to the bus station. When we get
there, | see the bus is mostly loaded.
“Get on. If we're lucky, the bus is full, and they won't be able to get a ticket. If we're not lucky, we'll have to be
ready to fight as soon as we stop somewhere.”
We get on the bus and find seats together. “What if they follow us?”
“I'm pretty good at evading capture. If they follow us, I'll get us out.”
When the bus starts to pull away, | see several pack members pulling up in cars. | watch as they wave their
hands around, pointing to the bus. As we pull out, | see a man standing hands on his hips. His eyes meet mine
and | know he’s the Alpha. Shit! This is worst case scenario.
As we start to move, | grab my phone. “I need to call Rik and after that you can. call Benny.” | look at Grace.
She's looking at her bag, plucking at the seam.
“Hey.” | reach over and cover her hands, waiting until she looks at me. “We'll be okay, | won't let anything
happen to you and | won't let them have you. You're mine.” The last is a low, quiet growl, Louis pushing forward.
She nods but | can see she’s scared. “When mom and | ran, we switched buses every one to two stops until we
finally ended up in that little town. Maybe we should do that. | have money, mom kept it hidden away in case
something like
this ever happened.”
| take her chin and turn her head toward me. “Will that make you feel safer?”
She nods.
“Then that’s what we'll do. If there is a bus leaving within 30 minutes of our stop, we'll take it. Deal?”

“Deal.”
| call Rik. He's willing to send spack members to get us, but I let him know we're being pursued, and I'll call
him when we can ditch the tail. Then | have Grace call Benny. He's understandably concerned and worried that
I've kidnapped Grace. She seems to convince him that I'm helping her. When she tells him to call if anyone
comes to the diner asking about her, I think he finally believes her.
When she’s done, | wrap my arm around her. She lays her head on my shoulder, but it’s several hours before she
falls asleep. It’s the middle of the night when we make our first stop. | hop off the bus, checking to see if anyone
has arrived yet before going into the bus station and seeing that another bus is leaving soon, heading west. | buy
two tickets and go back to get Grace.
When | get onto the bus, she’s awake, looking around concerned. When she sees me, her face relaxes. | go to
her, | quietly let her know our plans. “Con, | got us tickets on another bus, let's go.”
We grab our things and head out to yet another bus. Over the next week, we travel in every direction. We were
tailed for the first three days, but after that, | think we finally lost them.
