"Remember what I told you before you left?" he asks. I stay quiet as I try to rack my brain, trying to remember what he told me. After a minute, there is nothing. He said a lot of things. "You'll have to be a bit more specific, King," I tell him, because no matter what I try, I just don't remember. "I told you," he pauses, taking in a deep breath. "I felt like something was going to happen. TGoingback to Alec's pack would bring about certain things. Certain changes. I just wasn't sure what they were." It clicks in my mind, and I remember his words. I remember how worried he was on the day we were leaving. I remember how anxious he was. He continues. "That's why I asked if you were sure about going back." It all starts to make sense now. He instance to know if I was ready to go back to Alec's pack. I didn't understand him then, but it seems like he sensed something. I clench the phone in my hand and then release it before I can break it. "A lot has happened these past few days that I don't even know where to start or what to do. As much as I wish I could cback hand bury my head in the sand concerning Alec's pack, I can't. Not now that I know the positive effect my presence has had on his people." That's the thing. Every tI think, 'Fuck it, I am going back home,' I'm reminded of the kids, and my heart softens. Like I have mentioned before, they are the ones kkeeping her They are the reason I am staying. With everything that has been revealed, my instincts keep flashing red. Keeps telling pack my things and run. That thing will only get worse and more intense, but I can't. The young ones in this pack deserve to live a full life. They deserve to have a future. "Sadie?" King calls, ppulling backto the present. I shake my head to rid myself of the thoughts that threaten to drown me. "You know what? Let's not talk about this. I don't want to think about what's going on. I just want to bury my head in the sand, even if it's for a few hours." He is quiet for a while before saying, "I understand. It's normal to want to escape reality for a while when things get too hard. How are things between you and Alec?" "There is nothing between us, and there will never be," I respond, feeling irritated at the mention of his name. "How's the pack?" I change the topic in the hopes he'll drop it. He fills in. Not much has happened since we left, but everyone is fine and the pack is doing great even without my presence. I never worried. Not even once. After all, King is just as capable as I am. "I have to go. We have training in a few," he went on afterfilling inn. "Call you later?" "Definitely" "Hang on tight, Sadie. Things will eventually work out. He sounds so full of hope, as if hy believes it. I want to, but haven't I learned that things don't always go the way I want them to וויד After we say our goodbyes, I look around. There was nothing to do, and I didn't want to stay here because I continue being depressed. I need a ride. I need to get out of this pack, even if it's just for a while.
