everyone was a buzz with the news that dustin and ashely broke up!, Someone even got a video of it happened at lunch. Almost every student was making fun of her. the video alone went Semi-viralIn Outsid of school. many of the Students were enjoying the break up. by the time it was night time ashely was crying into her stepdad's chest.

mia found a motel to let them check in last minute. they brought in some of they're stuff. cole checked his texts when he turned back on his phone. " cole are you ok. massage me back ok. " he sighed and texted back. " hay mom, I'm fine did you find anything? " he waited for an answer. he needed to know who it was. he flinched when he heard mia slam the bathroom door open. she was wearing a hoodie and seemed a bit uncomfortable. " I'm going for a run. " she didn't wait for his response. she just run out the door with a slam. cole looked back at his phone waiting with bated breath. " I asked around and found out it was a teacher but someone said it was one of your other friends. " he did not like that, not one bit. and on that note he should be more worried about mia at this point.

mia started running. the fur on her arms was lightly dense. black and white coloring on her legs and arms. her neck. her teeth became sharper along with her nails as well. she even grew a bit taller. she just needed to run off her Newfound Energy. everything seemed like a blur of color as she ran and jumped and leaped from one place to the other. it was freeing in a way. the wind and the sounds around her were new and exciting.

cole stayed in the hotel room. trying to get some sleep anything really. so when mia coming back from her alleged run. She had been running for hours at this point finally came back. she was furry and tall with sharp long nail. " oh s**t! " he yelled. " she's going to kill me! " maybe she got bit by a werewolf or something and she didn't tell me because she didn't know it herself. Or maybe it's a curse or something from the cult she's in. Whatever it was he need to get out of here and soon.

he scrambled back against the headboard when she stepped forward. Her sharp canine teeth shined does she spoke " wanna play?... " he could see something that looked like a tail began to Wag as she asked the question that in a way stopped his heart in fear. " play?... like fetch? " he throw a sock at her and she ran after it. grabbing it and shaking, " want did they do to you... " he looked at her with shock and bewilderment. " what do you mean?... who did what to me... I'm fine cole... " cole throw a shoe when she popped her head up and looked at with glowing ice blue eye's. he took off his shoe and throw it next to distract her. she run off and grabbed the shoe and shook it apart. " play play play! " her tail?... was wagging like a blur. " wanna go for a run! we can run run run! " she started to jump around and smiled at him. oh so she wasn't blood thrusty or anything like that, she just a big... dog? she ran around on the bed and jumped on the bed. yep big dog.

He slowly and gently reached out his hand to pet her. He was a bit hesitant but when she let him pet her and even looked at him with familiarity. with a look happiness. so his mia was in there, she was just different right now. she lept at him and hugged him. " cole cole cole! " her wagging tail beat against the bed so hard he thought that someone was knocking. she was giggling and happy. To be honest Cole wouldn't mind them staying like this for a little while longer. Eventually she tired herself out and fell asleep and Cole did the same. when they woke up the next morning she looked over at cole. she felt so embarrassed about last night. she must have looked like a huge dork.... cole's voice knocked her out of her thoughts. " morning mia " he smiled at her and .Stretched his arms over his head with a yawn. " so where to now? " she was shocked at first before giving him a gentle smile. " i was going to drive home. wanna come? " he gave her smile back and nodded. " Yeah I'd like that. " she smiled and stretched her arms over her head and got up. " ok let's get ready to go " they packed at their belongings and got ready to go downstairs to pay for their night.

they left and packed up the car when she heard someone. " found you. " mia could smell that it was different Alpha of another pack. " shit.... " they ended up be escorted back to Mia's pack. car and all. for 3 days. " we just wanna make sure you're ok. " the women asked in a Minnesota accent. " it's a good thing we were on a trip here and saw ya. " the man said. The two sat in the backseat making sure that mia and cole didn't drive off where they can find them.

when they did indeed get back home it was awkward say the least. The school counselor was the first to greet them instead of the alpha, she lead mia and cole into the pack. she called her dad and let him know that his daughter was back and that she had brought a friend with her. The missing boy from the news. he drove up to get them and glared at the counselor for glaring at Cole. Both of them got into the car without saying a word leaving the counselor behind. " thanks dad " her dad finally seem to crack a smile. " no problem sweetie it's good to have you back " as I drove home mia saw her friends there. " oh my goddess, you did not " she say the banner out side. " happy cord cutting " she squeeed and excitement. " thank you thank you thank you " she repeated for she ran out of the car, slamming the door along the way. cole slowly walked out after her. " so is the cord cutting thing like a big deal? is like quinceanera or bar Mitzvah ? " mia's dad shook his head. " nope but it is a big occasion. "

her father looked at mia having fun. Greeting the other girls her age. " you see, court Cutters were ran out of this pack. After I got my own cord cut. " cole looked at him clearly wanting to hear more of the story. " see I was fade to be with another person, and me and this other person were all r**e betrothed before that but I didn't want to be with them. So when I meant mia's mother we went to the cord cutters I got my cord cut and I fell in love with her. And now we have this beautiful family. " mia's dad patted him on the shoulder. " that's why this is so special, because she had to go a long ways just to do something that was once so simple. " They slowly walked closer into the partyHearing people chatting.

cole walked up to mia and her friends who were sharing some juicy gossip with her. " get this, dustin and ashely broke up! " her friends sounded excited about that. Wasn't it sad did she got broken up with? " not to mention but now she might be pregnant. And get this it's not even Dustin's baby. " the girls were in a fit of laughter. " I mean it's an open secret about whose baby it really is" one girl pointed out. " oh I know it's pathetic. " said the other. " isn't that kind of mean to say? " cole point it out. " i mean I don't really know her but that sounds kind of horrible to say. " They looked at each other with knowing look. " you wouldn't say that if you met her. " one pointed out to him. " oh he'll meet her soon enough trust me. "
