waiting for a reply. “Jacob got away from his guards.guards We need to find her now!”
Serena drove up just as Kyla and Derrick came rushing out of the cabin door. Seeing the look of worry on their faces, she hurried to their side. “What’s going on?” She asked.
“Jacob is on his way here unescorted. We need to find Daniela quickly; we do not know his state of mind. She went for a walk.” Derrick informed her.
“Hold on sir.” Serena replied as she turned she whistled into the air. Jace arrived first, then Thomas and Eric. Derrick repeated the problem.
Jace spoke, “She didn’t come my way.” then looked to Eric.
Eric looked at Thomas for confirmation while he answered, “She didn’t come by us either.”
Derrick acknowledged the effectiveness of the way these four worked together, “OK, we split up in pairs spread out and go this way, there are three trails she could have taken. Get her back to the cabin.” When all acknowledgedacknowledged his orders, they took off running.
Kate was still crying when she felt someone near her. She looked up to see that same wolf from last night, standing in front of her just watching. “Jacob?” she whispered tentatively. The wolf moved slowly toward her lowering his head as he approached. She reached out with a hand palm up. When he came forward, whimpering sorrowfully, she stretched out further and touched the fur around his nose slowly and he leaned into her. He moved closer touching her stomach first then raised his head looking into her face. She reached out with both hands, hugged him around his neck, and continued crying unhindered into his fur. He whimpered not sure what to do as he had realized when he saw her he had ran off forgetting his clothes again.
“I’m sorry; I am getting you all wet.” She let go of him and looked into his golden eyes. “I am just so confused with all of this. I know you are a man, but, right now I feel like I am talking to a dog.” She giggled nervously.
Jacob growled softly. “Yes, I know you’re a wolf.” She laughed half-heartedly. Jacob wagged his tail and she laughed again. Jacob loved the way she laughed andand he licked her face impishly hoping to continue her laughter.
“Ewwe, stop that!” She laughed again as she stood. Jacob ran around her in a circle teasing Kate into a full-blown laugh. Feeling some of the weigh flow off her shoulders Kate reached down, rubbed the top of his head, and scratched his ear.
“Jacob, I don’t know what to do. I know they say you are my mate. I understand, kinda but, I can’t be.” Kate let go and started pacing, “I just don’t want anyone right now. I amam not ready. I don’t know if I can trust anyone or even myself. I don’t even know if I can even trust myself to love again or if I can even love someoene.” She turned her back to him and started to walk toward the cabin. “I just need Some time to…” She had taken two steps when she heard a growl, low and deep. She froze.
Turning slowly back around she saw Jacob facing her, the hair on his neck raised. He looked mad like an angry rabid wolf. “Jacob?” She asked fearfully taking a cautious step back. He growled deeper. “Jacob!? Please Stop you’re scaring me.” He took a step forward growling deeper and quietly. Is head low to the ground as he stalked her. She took slow steps back trying to keep the distance between them, holding her hands in front of her trying to ward him off. Then, without thinking, she turned abruptly and ran. Jacob growled and took chase. She Screamed, “Jacob STOP!” She had not gone far when he knocked her to the ground screaming.
Rolling over she looked up to see Jacob moving to standstand over her, his teeth bared. “Jacob?” she whispered frightened, “Please don’t.” However, he did not seem to hear her, his eyes glazed and red with determination.. Jacob moved his face closer to her face, and she started
