***JAKE'S POV***
After I resigned myself to the fact that I would never be able to run away from these women that were clinging to me like a static charged sock out of the dryer, I decided to just focus on what I needed to do. And that was finding Alex.
I knew that if I was going to find Alex, I would have to visit every village in this country. Or at least most of them. I would need to look for her everywhere. I didn't know what she looked like, what sort of beast she was going to be (assuming that she was one), or what her name in this world would be, but I knew that I would find her. The power of my love for her was all that I needed to think about to know that I would find her one way or another.
