As tears streaked down my face, I thought about all the things Hunter and I had been through for it to end like this. I loved this man more than anything, but I couldn't sacrifice something I wanted, something my birth parents wanted for me. My destiny is to be queen and even my mate can deter that.
I didn't have many choices of places I could go to. I could easily run to my parents, but that would be the very first place that Marco looked for me. There was no reason to put them in any more danger than I already had. Not only for their protection, but I also wanted to try and be independent as possible. Of course, I would have to get a little help along the way with certain things, but my parents shouldn't have to worry about me anymore.
Lauren was the one that I knew I could run
