By the time he opened these, I would be gone.
His pack businesses would be destroyed, and his reputation would be in ruins.
I pulled out my phone and called a loyal omega who owed me a favour to deliver the envelope.
Then I grabbed my bags and walked out of the front door.
A black car was waiting at the front door. Asher stepped out, opening the door for me. I was too exhausted to ask how he got into James’ pack territory unseen.
"Are you ready?" he asked quietly.
I looked back at the house one last time. At the life I was leaving behind.
"Yes," I said. "I'm ready."
I got into the car. Asher closed the door and got in beside me.
As we drove away, I pulled out my phone and sent one final text to the omega.
— Deliver the envelope now.
Then I blocked James's number, Mia's number, and my parents' numbers.
I was done.
"Where are we going?" I asked Asher quietly.
"My territory," he said. "Somewhere safe. My pack will protect you."
I placed my hand on my stomach, on the pup growing inside me.
"Good," I whispered.
As the car pulled away, I watched the house disappear in the mirror.
James thought I was stupid, a she-wolf easy to manipulate and discard.
He had no idea what he had created.
