Chapter Thirty-Five

ASHER

A sher was still pacing outside of Sunny’s house, fighting a losing battle with himself and his wolf.

She said she wouldn’t leave.

But that hurt part of him kept telling him that he knew this was going to happen. People like Sunny couldn’t be trapped. And that’s what this town was. A trap. Of course she had run again.

While he tried to rationalize with that side of himself, his wolf was already gone, snarling and ready to run.

His mate had left him again.

He made his way over to the tree line, stripping his clothes off, to let his wolf take over. After a loud, long howl, he was off running in the woods, trying to outrun a painful past and the feelings of abandonment pulling him down.

He gave over to his wolf as his paws propelled him aimlessly through the forest. He wasn’t going to stay here and wait for someone who was just going to leave him again.

He was gone.
