I am so tired. I had been running for so long, but I couldn’t stop. The dark night was full of coldness and danger, and I could smell the wet dew from the forest. Someone was chasing me, and he was strong, way stronger than me. I was scared, I had to keep running, otherwise he would catch me!. “Don’t, don’t leave… my luna…” he growled deep, his huge figure was as fast as lightning, when he spoke, it sounded like he was whispering. I trembled, he was so close!. “Get in here…” a soft voice sounded. Who was it?! I didn’t know, but I didn’t have time to think. The voice came from a dark cave, I quietly got into the cave and covered my mouth. “It’s okay, no one can hurt you from here, Katherine…” It was the voice again! Amazingly, when I heard those words, a warm current filled my body, dispelling the cold of the night. I felt relaxed and safe, and finally I sighed with relieve…. “Don’t leave me… don’t …” The wolf from outside the cave was still growling, however, his voice became more and more sad. he howled and cried, as if he had lost the most precious thing in his life. With his cries, a feeling of sadness filled my heart, and I burst into tears without knowing it. What had happened to me… why was I so sad, it felt like someone was ripping my heart. “Where are you… come back to me…” his words broke my heart, I stood up and walked out the cave. His back looked so lonely, and shoulders were shaking. I reached out my hand and wanted to touch him. But suddenly he vanished on the spot, and I stunned…. “Katherine!”

Athan! That was Athan Buffay! . “No! don’t leave me by myself…” I cried and howled, but he was gone, leaving me in the dark night all alone…. I opened my eyes with tears, sat up and breathed hard. It was a dream, but the pain felt so real…. “Kath, are you awake?” Mona knocked on the door, “It’s time to leave. “Be right out. ” I got up and took a quick shower, packed my luggage and walked out. Mona already move all out luggage to the door, and Mike was helping Lily putting on her shoes. “Mommy lazy bean,” Lily pointed at me and turned to Mona: “Auntie Mona, where are we going today!”. “We are going to the airport sweetie, we are going home today. ” Mona rubbed little girl’s hair and pointed at me: “Mommy needs to start making money to afford another 2 weeks trip for us. I was amused by her tone, Mona was the one that enjoyed the trip the most out of the 4 of us. Today was day 14 that we spend in this city, and the kids loved it. We went to some nice restaurants and viewed some beautiful sightseeing, it almost made me want to stay here forever. Of course, it’s not because that I love this city so much, it’s just I’d rather hide from the past. It had been half a month, and I was sure both Athan and Jack had searched every possible place in diamond city to find me and the kids. By now they had probably started searching other cities or even overseas. And it means that it is time for us to come home. “Your necklace is very nice, where did you get it?” in the airport, a man talked to me with smile, he reached out his hand and said, “I’m Leo, nice to meet you. “Thank you, Leo,” I touched my pendant and stood up, “sorry, I have to go. Just like that, I had been running away from every men who wanted to talk to me, and Mona had gotten used to it

“That was number 13,” Mona shrugged her shoulder. “What?”. “That was the 13th men you had turned down,” she explained. I rolled my eyes at her, I couldn’t believe she kept counting. But she obviously wasn’t going to let me get away this time. “Why are you still wearing this necklace anyway?” . “I don’t know…” I touched the necklace and sighed, “I guess I like it too much. “Like it, or like him?” Mona sighed, too, “Kath, was it really worth it? ”. Yeah, was it really worth it? I guess yes, at least now Jack got healthier. As for Athan Buffay… . “I’m not his mate after all, and one day he will meet his destined mate and forget about me. ” I smiled at Mona and rushed her, “come on, we should go now. The flight was 4 hours long, and the kids slept through most of the time. “Oh right, your lawyer contacted me again, he said Jack had his people searched out his office tried to find your address, and he torn the divorce papers and sent them back again. ” Mona whispered to me. I knew Jack wouldn’t give up that easily, and I didn’t really plan on running away from him forever, I never wanted to take away the kids from him. I just needed to give him some time to calm down. The plane taxied slowly and landed on the ground. The sky was clear, but my heart was covered with could. No matter how beautiful the scenery of the journey was, I eventually have to return to reality. But this time, I’ll do that by myself
