“Clarissa baby run, no matter what you hear do not look back baby girl, promise me you’ll just keep running” My mama screamed at me through the mind link as she battled with the pain of losing papa her mate ten minutes ago and fending off against three huge rogues to make way for me to escape.

I knew if I did as my Mama said I could survive and possibly get help, the down side was the fact that I knew deep in my heart that if I left, I’ll never see her again. Not just her, I’ll never see anyone from my pack again.

Yet despite knowing the final outcome I sighed and looked at Mama longingly, memorizing every feature of hers before I bolted into the woods without looking back, I heard the screams, the growls and howls but I couldn’t stop, I had to keep going as fast as my seven years old legs could go.

“Find your mate Isa, find him before you come back here. Your fated mate will be the key to unlocking your full potential, remember your Papa and I love you very much my little Dove” mama linked me again before I felt the pain, I felt it before I heard her. Everyone was gone just to protect me and stop that psychotic man.

I’ll definitely end that old mutt one day and I’ll do it slowly and I will enjoy every single moment of it. I thought with heartache as I groggily got up and continued running while dodging tree roots and fallen tree logs.

‘Keep them safe creator and grant them eternal rest by your side, give me the courage and the strength I need to overcome this pain, I also ask for wisdom and knowledge to survive out here finally please grant me patience’ I quietly prayed in my heart. Hoping my prayers will be answered.
