I Will Escape novel Chapter 114

As we are running, I smell a familiar scent, a smell that I haven't smelled in such a long time. I should be angry at this person, I should hate her, but I don't. I began wondering why her scent is here. It can't be here she is dead the Alpha killed her. I don't know what is going on, but Bridget is near.

I stop dead in my tracks, wanting to find her now not to get revenge, just thankful she survived. I tried to figure out where the smell is coming from, what direction. As my father and Dominic catch up to me, I can tell they are confused I can see it in their face. I mind link both of them. Dominic Bridget is somewhere in this area. I can smell her.”

“Sabrina, she's a traitor, but she is my sister. I can't seek revenge on her.”

“I don't want revenge, I just want to make sure that she is OK that she indeed survived.”

“You were with her this entire time so why wouldn't she have survived?”

“I wanted to find the right time to tell you but here it is before the alpha took me back to where he wanted me he snapped Bridget's neck I thought she was dead.”

“Why wouldn't you tell me that my sister was dead.”

“ I'm sorry but picking up her scent now there's no way she is dead we need to find her to make sure she is ok.”

My father cuts in “absolutely not this could be a trap to get you back we cannot risk it.”

“I wasn't asking for permission. I will go alone, it does not matter to me.”

“She is a trader and a liar we can not trust her it might all be a set up again.”

“She was protecting those that she loves she did not mean for any of this to happen you don't get to choose your mate.”

I can tell my father is irritated and concerned all at the same time. He knows that he can not control me. I am going to make my own choice with or without him. I know I need to stop caring about everybody else but when I try to just care about myself, I get lost. I should just be concerned about me, my child and that is it, but I can't avoid caring about all of us. It was almost like Bridget's scent knocked me out of whatever mood I was in.

My father glances at me pissed off “look if we are going to do this fine let's make a quick this isn't our territory. I don't want to kill anyone for no reason, especially when they're just defending their own.”

Dominic stops and looks at me scared “Sabrina what if this is a trap I just got you back I don't want to lose you again.”

“We don't have to talk to Bridget, I just want to see if it is really her. Why don't you guys just hang back, and I will go nobody will see me I'm fast.”

“Sabrina I don't think that is a good idea what if you get hurt or captured again.”

“Look I can take care of myself we are wasting time fighting about this just stay put when I will be back.”

I take off I know that I probably upset Dominic but I need to see if she is alive. All she really wanted was for her mate to want her more than someone else. The mate bond is so strong, no matter how hard you try to resist. I know I should probably hate her, but I can't bring myself to do that. Knowing that she was just protecting the people she loved.

As her scent is getting stronger, I try to hide up in a tree, but I don't make it in time before I am spotted. I know that I can just run right past them if I wanted to, but I want to see her. I know she is close. I can sense her. I need to see her. Wondering what really happened to her and how she survived is a miracle. 

I look at the other wolves not wanting to harm them. I simply shift to human form and stand there naked so they know I'm not a threat. “I don't want any trouble. I sense a person who I once knew I want to know if she is here. I do not wish to take her, I just want to make sure that she is ok.”

They do not shift in their human form because they are afraid I don't blame them. The Wolf that, I believe, is the leader looks at me and mind links me “Who are you looking for and why?”

“Her name is Bridget. She was a part of our pack, but something went terribly wrong. I thought that she was murdered, but I am picking up her scent.”

They look at me confused, not wanting to give me the information I seek. I understand it is hard to trust anybody. I just want to know if she is alive. I don't want to cause them any harm I could escape with no problem if I chose to. I don't want to seem dangerous to them because I don't wish to harm them. 

They are hesitant “what if we do not give you what you want, what are you going to do then?”

“I don't wish to harm no one I just wanted to see if she was alive, that's it.”

They look at me surprised, “Everybody wants something, don't lie to us, just tell us what you want.”

That's when I see her I am relieved that she is alive. Not angry that she betrayed all of us, just thankful she survived. Knowing the guilt that she must feel from the sadness in her eyes.

“Sabrina is that really you.”

“ Yes it is Bridget I escaped him. I picked up on your scent on my way back to the cabin. I am so grateful that you're alive and well.”

“How could you not want to kill me right now because of what I have done to you” she begins to cry?

“Bridget I understand the reasoning of why you did what you did. I am just happy that you're ok.”

“I'm so sorry Sabrina for everything.”

I look at her and I smile “it's ok I forgive you for everything just take care of yourself for now I gotta go. I need to come up with a plan to defeat him once and for all.”

I shift back into my wolf and I take off. Not being followed, I know that she is a loyal pack member, and she will be just fine. Shocked at how strong she really is to survive such an attack. Happy that she found her place in this world with no one else but herself. Maybe once all of this is over, we could all be reunited.
