Sera's POV

The sun was burning my eyelids as I woke up. I was the only one in the bed, and my mouth felt like a piece of stale bread. I pushed my body up with my arms and unwrapped myself out of the covers.

After brushing my teeth for a good 3 minutes, I fixed up my hair and put on clean clothes. It's amazing how much cleaning myself can make me so much more positive.

I pushed aside the heavy curtains and closed my eyes to feel the sun on my face. I had stayed cooped up inside for so long that I was about to shift just because my wolf hadn't come out for so long.

Suddenly, I opened my eyes and jumped back a little when I saw a man at the window. He was tapping the window and trying to look me in the eye.

It was Dylan! He looked beat up, but he was still hanging on the wall trying to get me to come out.

"Hi baby," I saw him mouth. I waved at him and pushed the window open. The wind blew in my face, and I could feel the cold chill against my skin.

"Dylan! You have no idea how happy I am to see you," I grabbed his arm and helped him inside the room.

"Baby," he hugged me and made eye contact with me. "We have to leave. In about 5 minutes, that guy will come and take me away from you."

"But," I contemplated the thought of whether or not to go. I felt a natural pull to Nate, but considering the fact that I had caught him making out with another girl, I really didn't want to talk to him. "Okay, just give me a second to pack."

"Okay I'll help," Dylan looked around the room and found a duffel bag for me to stuff my clothes in. Ignoring my OCD tendencies, I shoved any clothes I could fit in there and put some toothbrushes and other things we would need. When the bag was completely full, Dylan slung it over his shoulder and helped me out of the window.

"How are we supposed to leave?" my skin got goose bumps looking down at the ground. We were on the top floor and if we fell, we would've died.

"Close your eyes and hold my chest," I did what he told me and I felt him shift as he jumped down. Wolves, like cats, would always land on their feet if they were strong enough. When I finally felt him drop on the ground, I opened my eyes and looked up at him with shock on my face. Dylan quickly shifted back and pulled a pair of pants on.

"You sure you're fine?" I patted down his body and searched for any injuries. He clutched my hands together in front of his bare chest and kissed my forehead.

"I'm fine baby," he grinned at me. "Let's go." He put his arm around me and led me into the forest. We hurried so that we could escape without being seen. Every step I took from Nate hurt my chest, but I ignored it as I left with Dylan.

Nate's POV

I ran up to our bedroom after setting up 4 groups that went out to search each border. I wanted to be near Sera and hold her close for the rest of the night. Then, once my men found Dylan, I would crush him with my hands.

"Sera darling," I pushed the door open and looked around. The window was wide open and I could see that clothes and things were strewn around. The bag that I had put on the floor was missing and I could smell another man's scent.

"Alpha," Jason burst into the room and immediately showed me a picture of my mate and Dylan running together. "The missing prisoner and the luna have been caught at the west border by the patrol."

"Take me to them," I growled and felt anger and sadness when I realized that Sera had tried to run away from me with another man.

I followed my beta and thought about all the ways I would hurt that rogue when I got my hands on him.
