Wolf Girl (Wolf Girl #1) - Leia Stone Page 0,82

would die if he married Meredith. That, I was sure of.

His cold blue eyes met my gaze through the glass window, and instead of seeing the anger I expected, I just saw more broken pieces, pieces I broke. Pieces I promised Sage I wouldn’t.

“Meredith Pepper is my future wife and mate.”

The crowd erupted into applause as my heart was ripped out of my throat and a sob escaped me. I’d lost him. Lost the one guy who ever fought for me. The only guy I’d ever really trusted when trust in men was in such short supply.

Without waiting for Eugene, I leapt over the balcony, landing on my feet, and took off running. I couldn’t help the soul crushing howl that tore from my throat as my wolf and I mourned the loss of the love of our life.

My feet pounded against the black asphalt as I ran down the road and back to campus, grateful I’d worn my trusty white Converse. I needed to get out of here, like out of campus, out of Wolf City, out of fucking here. When I made it back to my room ten minutes later, chest heaving, tears streaking down my face, I picked up the camera Sawyer had given me. He’d replaced my broken one from my waterfall accident. Grasping it tightly in my hands, I threw it against the wall, smashing it to pieces as I screamed in agony.

Some of the paintings on the walls rattled and I wondered if it was an earthquake until I looked outside and didn’t see any shaking trees.

It’s me.

I’m going to die. This heartbreak is so painful I might actually die from it.

Running into my bedroom, I shoved a few belongings into a backpack and changed quickly into jeans and my converse shoes before slipping out the open window. How could he not believe me? I know it was crazy, but I’d thought that guy was him. He looked and sounded just like him. It had to be some kind of magic or something, although in all my time with the witches of Delphi, I’d never heard of a spell that powerful. Changing eye color or hair color sure, but … he’d looked just like him. Sounded just like him. It was him. But it wasn’t … and now everything was fucked up.

I ran through the trees that lined the campus, unsure where I wanted to go and hating that I was tethered to Sawyer still through our imprint. I could feel his anger, his hurt, his rightness at choosing Meredith, and it cut into me like glass. Night fell over Sterling Hill Academy as I ran harder, the moon lighting my path. I needed to go home. I needed my mom. I needed some fucking alcohol to numb this pain. The problem was I didn’t even know where the Magic Lands were. I’d been blindfolded on my way in, and my parents never spoke of it, just said they were “nearby.” I could still be in Washington state or Idaho for all I knew. Or another freaking world.

Before I could decide how I would get out of here, a blur stepped in front of me, causing an alarmed gasp to rip from my throat as I skidded to a stop. Something bit my wrists and I whimpered when I realized they were cuffs. A half dozen vampires stood before me, all of them holding guns, right at my chest.

“We need you to come with us, dear.” It was the vampire woman from before, the one who attacked us in Sawyer’s apartment. Her long glossy black hair fell in soft waves around her shoulders. It was in such stark contrast to the ugly look on her face.

My heart beat frantically in my ribcage as my mind tried to calculate what to do. Without my wolf, or my powers, I was pretty useless.

‘Sawyer, there are six vampires at the southeast woods off campus. They’ve got me—’ Pain laced up the cuffs as they sensed my mental talking with Sawyer as magic, and electrocuted me.

‘That’s pretty pathetic,’ Sawyer said in my head, and a tear rolled down my cheek. ‘It’s over, Demi. Just … leave me alone. You’re just like your mother.’

His words crashed into me, ripping what might have been left of my heart into a thousand pieces… And then that fucking necklace flashed into my mind. Meredith. Did she give it to him outside when he spoke to her and her mom? Was he spelled too?

Realizing Sawyer was a lost cause, I turned to run, a scream ripping from my throat, before cutting off mid yell as something cracked the back of my head and everything went black.
