Chapter FORTY-TWO

  The next day was a little bit of fun. We visited three neighboring packs in disguise, sneaking into two of them while the third pack granted us easy access because one of those on parole had been ‘struck by my beauty’ in his words.

  Layla told Lucas I was going to visit a relative nearby and we may not be back for a long time. He wasn’t too pleased to let us go at first but he eventually gave in. I don’t think he bought the lie though but I needed something to take me away from Day star, I needed something to keep me busy, other than hiding away in that house and wallowing away as thoughts of Ryder was the only thing on my mind. Even during our adventure, he still clouded my thoughts.

  My phone was still turned off, so I have not heard from Elsie since her call last night when I got here. I hoped she was fine and I miss her too, and I hope Ryder didn’t know she helped me with this.
