A/N: Hey guys, I know this is a really short chapter, but I'm ending Of Stranger Things In Life here. Don't worry, this is NOT the end of the story. It's just the end of this. I will make a sequal and continue all the wonderful BEAR romance. Anyways, tata for now!
'There is a prophecy among the wolves. Once every thousand years, there is a savior born. This wolf will be the one to save the unknown from destruction. They will surround themselves with family in the form of the enemy, and nature will send them on tasks to become stronger. The wolf will not always succeed. If they don't, the world is lost until the next savior is born…'
The memory of what I read makes itself known in the front of my mind. No matter how much I try to forget it, it doesn't disappear; not entirely. Faintly, I hear my name called through the pack bond. I ignore it. My paws hit the ground in a rapid progression. Tears travel down my furry face, but I don't care. At this moment, I just don't care.
The last twenty-four hours have been hell. Ever since I read that damn book, nothing has been the same.
"Isa, what is it?" Esme asks worriedly. My hands shake with the book in them. I open my mouth to respond, but nothing comes out. My eyes meet the ones of my alpha, and I see more sorrow than when I had to go to my parents' funerals. A tear slips down my face, but I don't move to wipe it away. My breathing accelerates; it feels like I'm having a heart attack, but that's impossible… right?
"I can't… I can't… I can't breathe!" My words come out in a hiccupping gasp. A flurry of hands surround me, but it just makes it worst. My wolf demands to be let out and forces a shift. For the second time in twenty-four hours, I'm screaming in pain. My mates try their hardest to comfort me, but nothing works. When the shift is over, I let my wolf take over completely. She turns to face our mates and pack members. A resounding growl escapes me, making everyone back away from us.
With a last glance, I take off toward the forest. It takes a while for them to comprehend my leaving, but by the time they do, I'm already out of Washington. Screams of my name come from my mates and their families while commands from my alpha come through the pack bond. I'm in too much shock to pay any attention to them, and my wolf ignores everything but our surroundings.
I've been running since that day. I don't exactly know how long that is, but I must have some reason to continue. Nature hasn't visited me since then either. Knowing that, my wolf lets out a slight whine. My name is still called through the pack bond, but just barely. "Do not worry, Isabella. You will be back to your family soon. But first, you must complete your second trial." Nature whispers reassurances in my ear which calms my wolf and me enough to continue our journey.
