Renea
It’s been seven months since my world changed forever. As steam rises and the scolding hot water hits my body I remember every second of that night and the weeks that followed. I shake myself free of the memories and the phantom fingers curled around my wrist and throat “I escaped, I got away with my life. Im ok and he isn’t here” I repeat this over and over. Turning off the water I step out and wrap a towel around me and stair at myself in the mirror. Amber eyes that once were caramel brown lined by black lashes now spiked from being wet and dark curly hair frame my face and hang past my shoulders.
I stand there looking at a women I no longer recognize. Toffee skin and hour glass frame that is becoming more rounded by the day. I hate him and most of all I hate myself. I was weak and foolish. Im a trained soldier for crying out loud! I could have fought hard. Done more, been stronger than what I was. I slam my hand into the mirror unable to let my scrutiny hold any longer. The mirror shatters beneath my fist. Mirror number five that’s 7 years bad luck times five. I guess I’ll be alive long enough to see if it’s true.I won’t let myself go down that rabbit hole again. I escaped,im alive and he isn’t here.
I head to my room to get dressed for the day since escaping my captors and creating a new identity I am no longer Lieutenant Riggs of the United States military or Agent Riggs after I left the military. I am Clair Austin waitress at a small dinner in the middle of no where. There are people if you can call them that, that are after me and my unborn child. He says I’m his mate and he’d find me anywhere no matter how far I ran. But it’s been six months and I’m pretty good at disappearing when I need to. He left me no choice but to run. I’m my own women I belong to no one but my damn self. I’ll be damned before I let him take me again and his enemies and the council would do anything to get their hands on me and my unborn child. The biggest threat and enemy and pain in my ass only wants one thing. Me and preferably mind linked and bound to him. All so he can create an army through me to destroy all ware wolf population and then turn human kind into his personal blood bank. Man has been alive for over a millennia and hasn’t accomplished it yet? He isn’t about to achieve it now. If either him the council or my mate find me before I’m ready I’m screwed. So here I’ll stay hidden and hope I can give birth before they find me. Because once I’m able I’m going to bring hell to anyone that threatens me.
