The alarm rings loudly making me curse out a word I would never use, I wasted no time in leaving the bed and heading to my son’s bed, it’s been five years and I still have the same nightmare, my head was pounding with pain when I rushed to his room to wake him up for school.

This was our routine all day, he would not want to wake up, I will force him and then he will have to, that’s what we did today, we always settled in the living room while he watched a cartoon, we got everything ready early today.

By the time I got him to school, I left for work, I had a smile on my face as I worked when I heard a loud noise coming from outside my little bakery, living a life here was hard.

Because I was treated like a normal wolf, I didn’t use my last name or my middle name, I can’t let them find me.

“What are you doing?.” I asked the man standing outside of the bakery, it was a little away from my son’s school and the man glanced at me with a frown on his face.

He didn’t say a word instead he handed me over a paper and he headed out of the place, the little piece of paper held so much information that was about to ruin my life.

It says I have to evacuate with no good reason, I knew who was doing this, he hasn’t stopped till now. I got into my car and I drove away.

Standing in front of his building brought back memories, after being with Lucas, I always thought I would be able to move on and after a year I did; I found someone, only that he was not the angel that was going to save me, he was the demon that wanted to take my life away from mine.

I walked into his living room and I saw him sitting on his couch.

Blake Valorie, the wolf that controls this city, he didn’t know who was or where I can from, he didn’t know who my parents were or he won’t be doing what he is doing, he controlled every part of this pity and I didn’t care when i decided to be with him.

I guess a way to a single mother’s heart is through her son.

“Are you going to keep standing and staring at me Elizabeth.” He stated, his voice pulled me out of my thoughts as I looked at him.

“What is this?.” I whispered when I kept the little piece of paper on his table, he looked away from the laptop and his eyes met mine.

“What does it look like?.” Blake said, he turned to look at me with a frown on his face, before he stood up and I looked away from him.

“You can not do this Blake, you can’t take away my shop just because I don’t want to be with you again.” I yelled, when he smiled; he always smiled, I guess that’s what made me want to be with him.

“You have a choice, I made a mistake and all I ask is forgiveness yet you don’t want to be with me, you have a fucking choice Beth, you either be with me or you lose everything you ever owned.” He yelled, his tone was harsh and I knew he meant it.

“You can not do this to my son, he doesn’t deserve to be any part of this, he didn’t ask for this.” I whispered against my breath, he glanced at me and he smirked before he leaned in and he whispered.

“You know what to do Beth, all you have to do is be with me and you can get all that you want.” He stated.

“Fuck you.” I yelled before I walked away.

Being with Blake made me realize I do have the worst taste in men, starting with the one man that made me hate the idea of love and the other man that made me believe that, just because one man broke my heart it didn’t mean I will let him control my life.

By the time I picked up my son Ethan, I was informed that, I can’t bring him back to school again, there was no good reason, I knew I can’t even leave before the money I had was nor enough to take us out of here and I can’t call my parents.

I didn’t have it in me to do that.

I didn’t let Ethan know I was sad, all I did was get him ready for his first sleepover and I took him there, I badly needed the night off. For the first time in years, I didn’t have anything else doing and I found myself sitting by the bar with a drink on my hand.

Once again my life choices has come biting me in my ass, when all I have done is try to care for someone, the loud music in the club suddenly filled my ears and a tear slips out of my eyes as I cried to my pain.

Soon I didn’t want to be here, I headed out of the place and into the drive way to have a smoke when my eyes caught something, there was someone standing by his car, he looked awfully familiar from far and my curiosity got the best of me when I headed toward him, before I got closer, I stopped in my tracks

“Rachel.” Lucas whispered, his eyes met mine, he looks differently, I could feel the alcohol getting to me and reminding me of all he has done. “Fuck Rachel, I have-“ he was about saying when I ran away.

No he can’t be here, it can’t be.
