The Run novel Chapter 8

Amelia, as it turned out, was a great tracker and managed to pick up Grace's scent by the river withing two hours, that was now three hours gone in the run.

When I insisted we go down river like her scent she just laughed at me and called me an idiot.

"Think about it Caden, the river is going that way." She points down river the way the water was flowing. And I sighed, seeing her point. But she continued anyways.

"Grace's scent is also coming goig down river and its now fading meaning that she in no longer tracable, but I know that she is now up river." The little blonde states and I nodd.

"I guess that would make sense." I say, turning to face the direction the water was coming from. I guess I was right about her from the start, right about Grace being smarter then she let on. And Amelia is a great leader, why would her father wanted to have her broken down when she would do amazing things for her pack.

"Caden, when we get out of here will you promise to form a treaty with me?" Her voice was small as she looked away. She seemed nervous about her request and I smiled at her reassuringly.

"I was thinking the same thing." I state, seeing a look of shock cross her doll features.

"Really?"

"Yeah, why?" I was confused at her reaction. I knew a treaty would be great with her and I felt like Amelia would be a friend I could trust with my life and my pack.

"Because a normal male wolf would feel threatened if a female was Alpha." She states and I laugh.

"Really, and out of the two hours you've known me you should know I'm not normal." I say between chuckles, watching her face turn red as she glared at me, pushing past me and nearly causing me to fall into the water as she made her way towards where her friend hopefully was.

We walked in silence for a few minute, Amelia's guard up as she scanned the forest for other wolves. She was still worried that some one would mate her forcefully.

With a sigh I quicken my pace so that I was beside her, keeping my senses alert for any potential threat

"Thank you." She whispers and I turn my head to look at her.
