CHAPTER 24

I was standing there waiting for an answer while he just stood there staring at me waiting for his answer but all I was.

met with was silence. And that was all the

answer I needed. So I shook my head and I grabbed my bag and I started walking through the woods again.

I headed back towards the pack because I still intended on graduating high school but I wasn’t ready to forgive my mother yet. She hurt me too badly and I didn’t really have anywhere else to go. So I headed towards the watering hole where we swim in the summer, even though I knew that it was more heavily protected now by guards, but I was able to set up camp there knowing that I had a supply of water and I could shower at school

every morning. I knew that I didn’t need

to rely on anyone.

If I got hungry then I would be able to shift into Ava and go hunting in the woods for food. That was easy enough so

really paid off to be a werewolf.

I built a fire and everything and I had a blanket in my bag that I could lie on, instead of the hard ground and I was all set. I could hear the patrols going past but I didn’t pay them any attention. The only downside was that the Alpha knew where I was. I didn’t want anyone to know

So I grabbed my school bag and a change of clothes and I headed to the

school.

I went to the locker room and had a shower and got ready for school. But when I stopped and looked in the mirror I realized that it was my birthday today. I was 18 years old today and instead of spending it with my mate and my friends, I told them to forget about my birthday

because my mate was a prick. But they

didn’t know about the mate part.

I went to the library to do my homework

and I got on one of the computer to check

my email and there was one from the

school. It was my new day planner for school since I was put in the accelerated classes. So I printed it out.

When I turned around to head back to my table I saw Alpha Jackson standing in the hallway looking through the window at me. And that’s when I felt it. The first time I felt the full strength of the pull. I had to grab on to the chair that I was
