Chapter 17 

Bonnie 

61 

In less than 30 minutes I’ve changed out of my dress and into an old pair of leggings and a loose tee shirt. I throw my hair up into a ponytail and stick on a baseball cap to help cover some of my face, and then stick on my old sneakers, they aren’t very comfy but they are the best that I have right now. 

“You ready, Bon?” Lily’s mind link startles me making Lexi laugh in my head. “Yes, I’ll be out now.” I grab my backpack and head for the door where she is waiting in the hallway for me, her clothes mirroring my own. She looks nervous but excited and I feel the same. What we’re doing is a big risk, if we get caught we’ll be in for a world of trouble and pain but if we get away with it and get away from everyone… Well, it will be amazing and worth all the risk.

“We need to stay positive, Lily. We’re going to do this!” My voice sounds much more confident than I feel but it seems to somewhat relax my best friend so I go with it. I hold out my hand for her to take and give it a gentle squeeze as we head to the escape. Before we came here Lily and I managed to get a map of the place through the library at school and thankful updated one and made planning our escape so much easier. 

With the ball still in full swing leaving earlier than planned makes escaping both easier and harder. Easier, because most of the wolves here are still outside so getting out of the pack house should be a breeze but again outside is insanely busy so getting off the pack lands will be even more awkward. Still, we’re doing this, and now. 

We quickly make our way down to the main floor of the packhouse without seeing anyone then head to the narrow hallway that we need to take to get to the room that we need to find. The room that we are looking for has windows that we can climb out of that will lead straight to the woods and completely avoid the area that the ball is currently in. 

But, there’s a massive risk with doing it this way as the room we need to use is right next to the Alpha’s office and to make matters worse, the Alpha is my mate so he’ll pick up my scent which means he’ll know straight away that I was in there and how I got away. If we get caught, not only will we be in trouble with our families and pack but also with Alpha Nicholas… just great! 

We hold our breaths as we creep down the hallway constantly looking behind us and checking our surroundings. 

The closer we get to the room the more my heart pounds and I swear to the Goddess that my ass is sweating. We both let out big puffs of air when we finally reach the room and thank the Moon Goddess when I turn the door knob to find it unlocked. Yes!! 

After another quick check of the hallway, we sneak in and run for the window. We need to be quick getting out of here and I swear the more time passes the more I feel like I’m heading for a heart attack. I push up the window and hold it while Lily climbs up ready to jump. This part is going to be painful for me but I’ll get through it. The drop from the window is only a few feet but my ribs feel like they are in pieces so I’m dreading the jump. 

All clear. Come on, Bon Bon.” Lily whisper yellows from outside making me quickly climb up on the windowsill and look down at her. I pull an old rag out of my pocket and stuff it into my mouth before jumping down and letting out a muffled cry from the pain. “Are you ok, Bon?” Lily helps me up from the ground as I pull the rag from my mouth and realization covers her beautiful face. “I was wondering why you put that in your mouth. Good idea.” I nod as I stuff the rag back in my pocket and we quickly head for the forest.
