***Alexs’ POV***
What the hell happened back there? I was in the room with Dale when my calf started burning while hearing crashing and Dale laying on the ground lifeless. But then Reign comes out from the cells with fear stricken upon her face. Once I finally registered everything I told Reign “If we wanna get out of here we need to do it now!” Mr. Jason would be back soon to ensure Reigns’ death actually happened. So we needed to leave sooner rather than later with everything that just happened. Once we were in my old dodge pickup we sat in silence while driving. It seemed like hours it was. And there was more questions than answers at this point, but we’re they really needed?
The more I thought about the more the prophecy came back into my head. Any wolf knows about two fated mates making each other powerful together bringing back old times. Before the Blood Shed war a couple hundred years ago all of us humanoids lived in peace with humans. Once the war happened humans feared us so we had to go into hiding and we parted ways with our own kind. The prophecy stated that there would be a shewolf who was born with powers like the Moon Goddess has and once with her fated mate they would be able to overcome every obstacle and bring everyone back to perfect harmony like once before.
Since it’s been hundreds of years no one thought the prophecy was true that it was just a myth but maybe it’s not a myth and it’s happening now? I’d like to hope anyways. Reign has been quiet since we left, just keeps staring at her arm like it’s going to fall off at any moment. I hope she didn’t injure her arm to bad. I’ll have to look once we stop. We’re heading to an old friend of mine I ran into on a grocery run for Dale and Jason shortly after I made the plans to escape with Reign, he told me we could go there until we figure out our next move. Once we get there I’ll look at her arm and then my calf. I just keep my eyes on the road and head straight for Charlotte, North Carolina. Only two more hours before we arrive.
***Reigns’ POV***
I just keep staring at my arm in silence, there’s a New Waxing Crescent moon shape on it that appears to be green. I’m not sure why it’s there, but Neoma said it’s a gift from the Moon Goddess and everything that happened back there was because of me. I killed Dale and didn’t even mean to let alone know how I managed to do that. I can feel Alex staring at me even though I’m not looking at him. I have no clue where we are heading, but hopefully it’s far from Kieran.
The thought of Kieran is painful like my heart is on fire and just burning with no end. Why would he play me like a fool if he knew he didn’t really want me? Was I even his fated mate like he said? I have to get him out of my head, but this is harder then losing a friend. It feels like I’m dying even though I’m not. It’s a weird feeling, one I’m not liking. Is this how it was for mom before cancer took her life? Like there was no end? Was it this painful for her?
And I begin to silently cry as I begin to think of mom. She wouldn’t be to happy with what dad has done. Actually she I know she would have left him once he started his abuse on me. She loved me with every cell in her body, she would have died for me if it meant I lived.
An hour and a half passed before Alex starting speaking “I ran into an old friend of mine when I found out what their plans were with you. Once I told him what was going on he gave his permission for us to stay with him until we figure out our next move. Once we arrive we can figure out our plans, eat, shower and properly sleep without worry. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, just a little shaken up is all.”
“Is you’re arm ok? You keep staring at it like it’s going to fall off.” I laughed hard at his statement.
“Sorry for laughing, my mom use to say that before she passed. My arm is fine it started burning before we escaped and I keep staring at it because there’s a New waxing Crescent moon on it. I’m not sure why or how.”
“Weird, my calf started burning too before you came out of the cells and everything happened. I’ll have to look at it once we stop.”
“So where are we going?”
“ Charlotte, North Carolina my friend was in town visiting his family when I ran into him. He gave me his address for when we escaped. We use to be best friends when I was younger before I got taken by Dale and Mr. James. Colton knew how I was raised and what was going on at home. He offered me shelter a few times and I took it until I decided to go home to my father. So I knew I could trust him after telling him the details.
I sat quietly as I heard him speak. Taking every bit of information in he spilled. Maybe we’re much more a like then I thought. I knew I could trust him after that, but it was still hard to trust after everything I went through. But if I’m so powerful are his intentions honestly true? Or is there something I should be worried about?
