The Run novel Chapter 10

The cry of a male holwing in pain reaches the cave and causes me to bolt awake, jumping into guard position as I snarl, ready to attack whoever cames near.

The rustle of some one catches my attention and I turn, stopping my snarling when I see Amelia sitting there with her bag beside her and some baggy clothes on.

"Seems like some one is fighting." She states and I huff a breath, sitting down and staring at my friend.

"You know it would be a lot easier to talk to you when you shift." She states annoyed and I give her a grinn, my tongue lolling out the side of my mouth.

"Caden seriously shift." Her face dead serious as she gives me piercing look. After rolling my eyes at her I turn around and shift, grabbing my clothes and changing quickly.

Turning to face the female Alpha now fully clothed I see a look of worry etched onto her face as her eyes haze over, lost in thought.

"You okay?" I ask, walking over to the blond wolf and crouching in front of her, catching a tear before it could fall past her cheek.

"I'm scared. That cry earlier was one of two things. That a she wolf faught back finally or a male wolf got to him to claim a female." The pain in her eys reach mine as she looks at me, and I give her a comforting hug

"I just want to go home to my Briden." She states with a quiver to her voice. She was hurting and all I could do was comfort her until she shows me this weakness. I knew she trusted me even though we've only known each other for a few hours.

"Lets get moving, find Grace and hopefully we all make it out alive." I say cheerfully, pullng away and pokng her nose n a brotherly gesture, getting a laugh from her.

"Okay." She agrees and we stand, gathering our bags and heading out of our hide away.

the moon was starting to rise high into the sky and I couldn't help but enjoy the peacefulness of the forest, if only we could enjoy this place without the run, everyone would be happy.

The river was easy to find and we continue our way up stream, looking for any signs of Lady Silver. I still prefer the nick name over her own name and soon I hopefully will be able to call her that to her face.

Keeping an eye on the forest, I turn to look at Amelia, watching her eyes brighten as she sniffs the air, taking off at a slow jog and leaving me no choice but to follow her.

"She's close, I can smell her." The girl states and I look everywhere, my eyes scaning the forest near the river for signs of silver hair.

Movement ahead catches my eyes and I see a willow tree, watching Amelia pick up speed as she scurries under the weeping branches, only to pop out when I reach the ancient tree, peppermint and roses filling my nose.

"She's not here but it looks like she spent the night. We might have missed her by an hour, maybe two." She states, happiness in her voice as she looks up to the blue moon.
