My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

I keep running and running, feeling the pull my brand now has towards my team and my family. I just want to go home. After what I saw I don't know if I am cut out to do these kinds of missions.

Not for the first time since I was captured, I think about how adamant everyone was that I am too young to be here and I was too stubborn to listen. The horrors I saw while I was there and I didn't even leave the cell we were in and Jena went through so, so much worse. I hope we are both okay after this. I know I won't be the same, I can't imagine how Jena feels.

Osiston and Alpha Reggie said they were close but my ability to judge time is so off I don't know how long I have been running with Jena on my back. I just know that my whole body is throbbing and my muscles burn from the exertion. The question is, am I out of shape because of how long we were captured and malnourished or have I been running for days? Where are they?

My wolf starts to slow down, we haven't heard the sounds of paws behind us since I heard the voices of my team, but I wasn't taking any chances. I just can't push her anymore. She slows to a walk. We need food and water or we are never going to make it to them.
