Midnight Runaway

Chapter 4.

“LUNA!”

I jump up from the bed. 

SHIT THEY FOUND US!

I start to panic but then I remember, I am Luna! They will not dare touch me and I am in a house with witches. 

I run down stairs and there they are, two omegas from my pack but they are frozen in place.

“LUNA!” they yell at me but I just harden my face and push Ava closer to the surface to threatening them and make them summit. 

They both bow their heads and look away from my face.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” I spat at them with my Luna voice that hold way more power than I feel. 

“Alpha needs you home, everything is a wreck and he is going crazy” one said. 

My heart tightens a little but I keep my face cold and hard. 

“I am not your Luna anymore, I have no mate and you can go back and tell him that. I will never go back so over my dead body!” I yell at them, they both flinch but unable to move away. 

I look at Kurt that is obviously holding the spell, I nod my head at him and he snaps his fingers. Both men loosen and they look at me, I see the pain and sadness in their eyes. 

“Luna please come back!” 

I narrow my eyes at him, he looks away. 

“Over my dead body so if you want to kill me and bring me dead then go ahead but I will NOT go back alive” 

They look at each other, for a moment there I hoped that they will charge and fight me but then they just go down on their knees. 

“Luna we don't know what to do, if Alpha finds out we let you go he will kill us but we can not fight you. You are the light of the pack and we love you” 

“I am not your Luna anymore and he does not need to find out that you found me just continue to look for me like nothing happened” 

I say while I look at Mama, she hands me a note, I hug her close to my body and then I start to walk out of the store. 

“Where will you go Esme? Will you be okay?” one asks. 

I have my back to him holding the door, can I lie to them?

“I don't know” I say then I open the door and walk out. 

I am only a few steps away from the store when the door it ripped open and I hear footsteps run after me. I smell the air and smell Kurt, I turn around and face him. He walks up to me without saying anything but he puts his hand on my neck again and I feel the ice cold again. I let him suck me for a little while but then I push his hand off me and turn around again walking away. It takes me a little while to find my car but then I finally do so and speed off into traffic. This was a horrible meeting, this could have gotten worse but I am nervous for them, what will happen to them, they are good guys. 

As long as they keep their mouth shut then everything will be okay. 

I take out the note and read what it says. It gives me a name and a destination but it will take me a little while to get there, if I had a card I could just fly there but I have only hard cash so I need to drive. 

I am itching everywhere in my skin, I need to shift, I need to run for a little while, I drive for about three hours but then I have to pull into the next forest. I find a parking space for my car, I strip off my clothes and shift. We run for a little while but then she started to play in the grass and I am feeling a little free and happy. 

When we have broken the mate bond should we just get away from everything and just be like this?

What do you mean Esme?

I mean to just be wolves? Not human, just live of the land and just be the two of us. 

Esme we can't do that. 

Why not?

Because we need a pack and we could never live in peace as wolves, we would be hunted to be a rug for some hunter or another pack will kill us. 

Alright alright I understand what you mean. 

Then a smell caught our nose and we were hunting prey, we were hungry anyway since we could not eat breakfast this morning. This forest is beautiful and fascinating, the trees are old and high, the grass in high and it is obvious that not many people walk here. There are so many animals, I hear so many different birds, I see squirrels and bunnies everywhere. We played with a few following them around and cutting them off then letting them run again away from us. I do not smell any wolves here so I am sure I am not on someone's turf but that is weird because most forests and land is marked by someone so rogues don't gather up here. To be honest I am surprised I have not seen any rouges here either or anytime I have shifted for a run. I am not scared of them because Ava is big and can easily hold her own in a fight but this is just weird. I am sure that I smell like a rouge right know when I have officially rejected the Luna title in front of a pack member. I hope that will not be a problem in the future. 

It will. 

I mentally shake my head at Ava but then she was off again running up the hill and towards the top of the mountain. We spend the night in the forest because neither of us were ready to go back into the car to drive for the next hours. This just felt so right to be in wolf form and just run and be free. I felt so crappy and bad in my human form but here I just feel better and more like myself again. When I woke up I felt a little better but as soon as I sat back into the car I felt horrible again, that was a short lived happiness. The car ride was endless and I stayed at hotels for the nights. I was feeling worse and worse with every passing day. I was crying myself to sleep and waking up crying. I don't look at myself in the mirror because I am sure that I will not like what I will see. I am finally in front of the house that Mama sent me too, I was not sure if I could go inside I was so tired. Then I picked up every single strength I have and walked up the steps to the door, I rang the bell and waited. No one came to the door so I knocked, no one came so I tried the doorknob and it was open. I walked into the store, I had to put my hand again over my nose because of the smell of death and something rotting. This was almost exactly like the store Mama has, there are herbs and things hanging from the ceiling and drawers everywhere. 

Back here again.

I smile a little at the sarcasm in Ava. 

“Hi can I help you?”

I look at a middle age woman, she has black skin, beautiful curly hair around her head and a slim figure. Big lips and a flat nose, big green eyes,She is wearing a simple blouse and jeans.

“Hi my name is Esme and Mama sent me, I was hoping you can help me” 

Her eyes widen a little when I mention Mama but then she looks at me from top to bottom. 

“You must be pretty special from Mama to send you to me little wolf” 

She sighs and looks at the floor putting her hands in her pants pockets. 

“What can I do for you little wolf?”

I swallow. 

“I need you to help me break my mate bond” I say while I show her my mark. 

“No” she simply said and looked away from me. 

“No please! You have to help me! You have to break the bond!” I yell at her. 

“I already told you NO, it takes a hell of a lot stronger witch than me to break a fully mated mate bond between wolves” 

Then she turns away from me and walked back into the shop, I rub my head but then I have to rub my heart. I have to be free of this! There has to be a way!

I have been running for about a month now and I feel sick, tired, broken and the hollow shell of myself. 

“Then take the memories away! Make me forget him!” I yell after her. 

She turns around and looks at me. 

“I can't do this anymore, I need to be rid of this, he hurt me so much! I can't go back to him! Please make me forget him!” I beg her on my knees.
