At twenty-six, my life changed. For the better. I'm divorced and finally free from my abusive ex-husband. With my best friends encouragement, I decided to quite my job, sell everything I own and travel the world. Of course, she's coming with me. Little did I know, my entire life was a lie. My parents kept a secret from me that not own risked my life, but changed it in more way than one.

*SMACK* This is my life. Orphaned and left to the humans to use and abuse. Even when I didn't do anything wrong, I get my ass beat. All because he can knowing no one can stop him. I don't have my wolf yet, but when she comes, I will finally be free of him. The beatings I can handle, it's when he comes into my room at night that I can't take anymore. I need to get out of here. I've been able to spare Skyler, my foster sister, of the nighttime abuse, but I don't know how much longer that will last. We graduate high school soon, and I'll turn eighteen. That's when we will make our escape. But where the hell will we go?
