New and Unbroken

Chapter 2

I wake up the next morning bright and early, It's a weekend so I make a nice breakfast, pancakes and eggs. I decide ro take my children to the park today it is such a nice day the first one we have had for awhile.

After my partner left for work I said to the kids

"alright guys time to get your stuff on we are going to the park"

The oldest Damion groned he liked games not outside. I giggle to myself at this thought. Andraste the middle child was super excited she was the opposite of her brother, but Theo was probably the most excited I swear he had his shoe half on before I finished speaking. we finish getting ready and head out.

I drive them to the big park in the middle of town , find a bench for myself and send them off to play. I pull out my phone and start to read while being sure to keep an eye on the kids. Just as I start to get involved with my latest werewolf story they are so full of love and romance I can pretend that there is a way out of my misery and one true mate out their to love me. If only they were not just stories. I shake my head what am I thinking, werewolves don't exist. I swear I feel myself being watched again this time I look around I still see no one, but why do I swear I can smell caramel. I really must be losing it.

After an hour or so I take the kids for dinner and icecream, I had been saving so I could take them out. once we arrive home it's baths stories and bed. with the time I have to myself I take a short nap and dream that my wolf prince has come to save me.

About and hour later I am jolted awake by my partner storming through the Door. He doesn't say hello or give me a kiss he immediately starts in on me about how everyone at work sucks, and he is the only that can do the job properly. Making me feel that somehow that is my fault too. "please don't take it out on me its your fault you choose to work there!" slips out of my mouth before I can stop myself.

"I'm not taking it out on you he snaps back I had a bad night"

"Insted of telling me that so I can help cheer you up you just tear into me like it's somehow my fault."

"It is your fault I have ro work there, your just a stupid lazy bi*ch with no job."

I will not lie this hurt as it was him who asked me to stay home with the kids.

"It's not my fault you could work at any resturant with your skills h*ll you could own one but you decided to settle and stay their where they treat you like garbage." I shout.

I really dont know what has gotten into me I never fight back I'm quite a push over really that why I'm in the situation I'm in. but with that statement I grab my things and storm out I don't know what my plan is I refuse to leave my children but I can't be around him any more right now.

I slammed the door behind me and moved as fast as I'm capable climbed into the car and just drove. I drove for about 45 minutes until I was in the middle of nowhere I pulled over jumped out of the car and just started to scream and cry like a child I asked why to whatever higher power was listening. I felt so trapped, trapped in my own skin I'm not who I'm supposed to, I'm not where I'm supposed to be but in this moment despite my resolution to be strong I just cried and cried I didn't know how to go on.

I had no idea how much time had passed but I finally got to my feet and wiped my eyes. I realized I should go home my children would need me in the morning. Just as I took a step toward my car I felt the presence again the eyes watching me and immediately I froze. Whatever it was, Whoever it was I was sure if I turned around they would be right behind me. So I turned around there was no one there. I was so sure so I surveyed the horizon what I saw should have made my blood run cold. Instead I felt warm almost welcome and happy joyful almost I had never in my life had such a feeling. My legs moved of there own accord I started moving closer and closer to the thing that was watching me. When I got right up close I realized it was a wolf, the largest wolf I had ever seen, the only wolf I had ever seen. Still I could tell it was larger then it should be. As I approached it looked at me with the softest green eyes , I felt only safety somewhere in the back of my mind my brain tried to tell me to run but why would I when I am completely safe. The wolf lat down as I continued my journey toward it I got down low and held out my hand fully expecting the beast to run or attack, I don't know how I knew but I knew the second option was unlikely. However this giant wolf crept forward slowly as if trying not to scare me and pressed its snout into my hand. I felt a shutter run through the wolf body and then through mine a faint smell or caramel, and the walf was on his back like a dog so I rubbed his belly he seems very happy. the wolf lay back down and I sat down beside his warmth and though this seem strange just talked about everything my life wanting to escape everything. By this point it was very late so I said goodbye to the wolf he seemed to understand he walked me ro my car, no wait that's crazy I'm sure I'm crazy now but I swear the wolf watched me until he couldn't see me anymore.

I arrived back home my partner not even caring if I was safe was sound asleep. I jumped in the shower and settled in for a night on the sofa Thinking when I wake up I was gonna miss this crazy dream.
