I’d spent way too much time scouring the city looking for her. It was around mid-day when I realized there was no way she was here. I kept kicking myself over not leaving earlier. She told me she hadn’t left and that she wouldn’t leave but even as she said the words I knew she was lying. Deep down, I knew she was doing something.
I couldn’t stop wondering how long she’d been planning this. The insecure part of me thought she gave up on me and left me. After seeing that prick at the meeting, had she changed her mind about me? Could a mated wolf even do that? I felt stupid for questioning it. There was no part in wondering because I should know better. My Adea wouldn’t do that.
Knowing she was away from home, unguarded, kept me going. I worried for her safety and I wished she would have talked this through with me. When I couldn’t find her in town or outside of the pack lands, I started to panic.
