Chapter 20
I woke up in Tyler's room alone. I was a little disappointed; I wanted to wake up next to him. I shrugged
it off and pretended to get over it as I slipped out of his warm duvet. I went back to my room and took a
shower, even after the shower I still smelled like him, and I love it. I got dressed and went downstairs,
and the house was empty. Katy was at school. Tyler was working who knows where, and Jackson was
training. I ate breakfast and decided to go for a run. I haven't let my wolf out in a while, and she was
starting to bother me. I walked through the field in front of the woods and into the tall trees. I was
getting ready to take off my clothes and shift, but I hear a noise behind me. I turn, but nothing is there.
I shrug it off and take off my shirt leaving me in my sweats and bra. As I reach for my pants I hear the
noise again, I grab my shirt and hold it against my chest.
"Hello?" I call out.
I get no response. I'm just going to come back later, I slip my shirt back on, covering my bare stomach
from the cool breeze.
Crack
I turn to the noise but yet again nothing.
"Who's there? This isn't funny!" I yell into the trees.
"I think it is."
I immediately spin around and come face to face with a man I have never seen before. I quickly back
away.
"What do you want?" I ask, my voice is shaky.
"Look I don't want to hurt you, all I need is for you to come with me." He orders.
I shake my head and start sprinting the way back to the pack house, I look back and see him chasing
after me in wolf form. Crap! I get ready to shift, but nothing happens. I try again as I doge trees and
boulders, but still nothing.
I look back, and he's still chasing me. Where's everyone when I need them! I would fight him, but I can't
shift.
When I look back in front of me, I trip over a fallen tree branch and hit the hard forest floor. I quickly
struggle trying to get up but his wolf steps on my back pushing me back on the ground.
"Help! Help please!" I scream, trapped under his heavy paw.
All of a sudden other wolves appear out of the trees. He shakes his head and motions for them to go Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
with him. He lifts his paw off my back and growls in my face. My heart racing, I stand up and run back
to the pack house.
I swing open the door and slam it behind me; I make sure to lock both of the locks. Breathing heavy I
turn and see Katy sitting on the couch eating popcorn; she's facing me with wide eyes as a piece of
popcorn falls from her mouth.
"Anna what happened!" She screams. She dropped her popcorn and rushed towards me.
"I went for a run-"
"You went for a what! Are you crazy!" Katy waves her hands frantically.
"I don't get it? What's wrong with that?" I breathe out still trying to catch my breath.
"You don't go out in the woods for anything alone!"
"But you went for a run yesterday alone!" I protest.
"Yeah, but I'm Katy, an average eighteen-year-old werewolf. You're Annalee, Nineteen-year-old
werewolf being hunted down by scary rogues!" Katy explains.
I guess I didn't think about that; I didn't think that this whole situation would mean little stuff like that
would change. I can't even go for a run alone.
