Chapter 53: The Ancient Woods Pack

Kate seemed to be frightened by my outburst.

“Hey, buddy, calm down. I know this is a bad situation. He has gone too far by treating you like this,” Kate said.

Kate’s words of support made me feel better.

“But you can’t go anywhere,” Kate continued. “If he watches you as you said, he will find you wherever you go, and you will eventually return to him.”

“You’re right.” I hung my head in dismay.

I looked down at my phone. I had to go to class in an hour.

After class, Michael would come and pick me up. I could only get in his car and return to his little castle. The next day, he would bring me back and pick me up again. The only difference between me and last week was that I now had the college as a place to relax, and I was essentially Michael’s prisoner.

Kate bought a sandwich from a nearby food truck and handed it to me. I imagined it to be Michael’s head and bit it hard.

Kate said, “But if you want to leave, maybe I can help?”

My eyes lit up, and I looked at Kate hopefully.

Kate said unnaturally, “Didn’t I fight with Alfred? I want to go away for a few days. Actually, I’m all set to go. If you haven’t come back today, you wouldn’t have been able to see me on campus tomorrow.”

“What? Are you going to quit school?” I looked at Kate in shock.

Kate quickly waved her hand and said, “No, no. I just want to go away for a bit. I’ve already asked my lecturer for leave.”

I asked, “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to my aunt’s Ancient Woods Pack. She married there. The Ancient Woods Pack isn’t far from here but very remote. Very few people know of its existence. I went there a few times when I was young. The environment there was very good, and the people were very friendly. There were almost no disputes.”

My mind raced. This was an excellent opportunity. I had lived here for many years but had never heard of the name Ancient Woods Pack. It would be challenging for Michael to find me quickly.

This was wonderful. I had never been so lucky in my life. When I was so desperate to leave, the Moon Goddess sent the Ancient Wood Pack to me.

“Can I go with you?” I asked, my eyes shining.

“Uh, are you going to escape like this?” Kate asked worriedly. “I think the prince does not treat you poorly. Perhaps you should try communicating properly. Besides, he will realize you are missing once he finds out about this.”

“Please, Kate. I don’t want to go back to that house. Moreover, I’m not going to leave forever. I’ll come back. I’m just about to suffocate under his hands. I want to get out of his cage and have a little breather. I have so little freedom.” I looked at Kate pitifully.

“If you insist, then fine.” Kate shrugged. “But there’s another problem. You’re mates. He’ll follow your scent to find you.”

“Don’t worry about that. I’m already prepared.” I smiled confidently.

Yes, I was prepared to escape Michael.

When Michael announced that he was going to lock me up for a week, I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to do it.

I asked the butler for some powder to cover my scent, claiming that I was avoiding my ex-mate, Robert, and for the past week, I’d been trying to figure out how to get out. But Michael was watching me too closely, and I didn’t get anywhere.

Now, it was time to put the powder to work.

I was going to teach Michael a lesson. I was not the wolf he thought I was. If he kept bullying me like this, I would run away.

He had to learn to respect and give me some freedom, or I won’t return.

I told Kate about the powder. Kate looked at me, lost in thought. She was considering the whole thing. I looked at her nervously and expectantly, waiting for her to give me an answer.

Finally, Kate nodded. “I’ll help you this time.”

I hugged Kate excitedly. “That’s so nice of you. I love you so much.”

Kate patted me on the shoulder with a serious expression. “But you must promise you’ll be back in a few days. I don’t want the Lycan prince to come after me.”

I nodded and said, “I promise I won’t drag you into this. If Michael finds out, I’ll say I secretly followed you here. It’s none of your business.”

Kate sat up from the grass and looked at me critically. “You can’t look like this now. Let’s go back to the dorm.”
