Going to the woods alone
She waited a long time for him to come back home, but she did not see him; she even tried his number, but he did not pick up. “Is he still angry at me?” She asked herself. She waited, but when she couldn’t wait again, she went to bed.
She rolled on her bed a couple of times before she finally slept off.
“Where am I? Hello!” She called out. She looked around her and realized that she was in an empty room. The room was so dark that there was only a small light on the ceiling that allowed her to see.
She could not see a door or even a window in the room; she tried to move her legs, but she found out they were stiff.
Hello! Who is there?! She screamed but did not see anyone. Then suddenly, she saw a creature in the corner of the room. The creature was dressed in a white garment, and the face was covered with long black hair.
She was so scared, but she managed to speak out. “Who are you?” She asked, but the creature suddenly burst out into laughter. She guessed the creature must be a woman because of the laugh.
“Who am I?” The woman snorted. “How about you don’t care about who I am, Ellie.” The woman said before walking closer to her.
“You know my name.” She shivered in fear. Her whole body was pumping out sweat, but she still managed to try to look at the woman to see her face, but the hair was like a cloth, covering her.
“Look at this room carefully. It doesn’t have a door, nor does it have a window. That’s how your life is right now, girl. The woman said, laughing.
“You’re trapped with no means of getting out. Look at you. You can’t even move your legs.” The woman scoffed. ” Ellie could not say a word; she hasn’t gotten what the woman was saying yet, so she just kept quiet.
“You’re a human. But you find yourself trapped among werewolves, and you want to get out so badly, don’t you?” The woman asked, but she did not get any reply. “Come to the woods close to the supreme tomorrow night, alone. And I’ll help you get your life back. Come find me, Luna.” She said before she disappeared.
“Hey. Wait.” Ellie said before she suddenly woke up from the dream.
She woke up with sweat all over her body. “The supreme.” She said to herself, still breathing heavily. She was someone who didn’t believe in dreams, and she doesn’t have them frequently. But she knew that the dream was real because the woman was surely talking about how she would break the mate bond.
She remembered that she had seen it in Alex’s study-that the supreme was the house of the biggest alpha and his family. She also remembered that it was the same house she had followed Maya to when she almost got eaten by a wolf.
“Alone. Do I really want to go alone? What if something happens?” She thought as she felt chills in her body.
She knew that it might be a bad idea not to inform Alex, but she did not want to risk it. She had to break the bond and leave his house soon. “I’ll have to go tonight and destroy the bond.”
She laid back on the bed, thinking about how she would leave the house without getting noticed. She rolled on the bed several times, before it was finally morning.
She took her bath and went downstairs to eat her breakfast. She was still eating her breakfast when the door opened, and Alex walked into the house.
She quickly stood up and ran to the living room. She almost bumped into him while running. “Why are you running around the house so early in the morning?” Alex asked.
“I was not running around. I just came to see if you were back.” She said, which got Alex surprised. “Why didn’t you come home yesterday? Are you still angry at me because I got drunk?” She asked.
Alex was just looking at her; it felt like she was angry about something. “Did you wait for me?” He asked with a teasing smile, but he was not expecting what he heard next.
“Of course, I waited for you. I thought you were angry at me.” She said, but only realized what she had said when she saw the smile on his face.
Alex was surprised and, at the same time, happy; it was there that he realized the puffiness under her eyes. “So my little bunny missed me so much that she waited all night for me.” He said it with a smile, pinching her cheeks a little.
“I did not miss you. I… was just worried.” She said with a low voice.
“So you were worried about me. Don’t worry, I’ll come home early tonight.” Alex teased. He wished he could stay with her at home, but he had to go back to work.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“No, I wasn’t.” She said, but when she saw the smile on his face, she just groaned and went back to her room.
She did not come out of the room, even when Alex was going back to the office. She was glad that Alex was not planning to stay at home. “I will use that opportunity to leave before he comes back home.”
She asked the butler to quickly cook her dinner because she wanted to go to bed early.
It was starting to get dark. She quickly ate her dinner and went back to her room to get dressed. She wore comfortable clothes and did not forget to take her torchlight. “Do I really want to do this?” She asked herself for the umpteenth time, but she was already determined.
She waited for the butler to turn off the lights and go back to his quarters before she left her room.
She knew that the guards would be walking around the house, and it might be difficult for her to leave. She decided to just pass through the kitchen back door. She made sure she looked around to avoid being seen. She dodged and hid from the guards till she finally reached the nearby fence. That was the only way she could leave without passing the gate.
She was happy that the fence was not too tall. With difficulty, she tried climbing it but failed at first. After a long time of failing, she finally climbed it; she walked far away from the house before she finally saw the taxi she boarded for.
“I’m sorry, Alex. This is for the good.” She said before entering the car.
