Alpha Redemption Path

~Edna~

It has been years, but I will never give up on my escape plan to leave Alan.

I couldn't bear it anymore. I could not stay any longer. It was a perfect time and the perfect opportunity for me to leave. I did not care what anyone said. I tried my best, but his viciousness just couldn't be bearable, so many times I tried to plan an escape route but none of them worked.

Alan was my mate, but I never really felt the love between mates, between us at all.

He always tried to prove that he was stronger and wiser. He was always the smart one, the one who could get whatever you wanted and to top up everything. He wanted to be the next alpha of the pack. I had no problem with it, but he could manipulate anyone to get that position, which included me, and I became scared that I could not continue with this any more after all ...both of us getting married was also a coincidence. It wasn't like we planned any of it, but he was just too much for me to be with, and I had to find an alternative as soon as possible. I had always dreamed of the day I would leave the palace.

I was fortunate the day I found an escape route and tried to pack a few things, but Alan was becoming too suspicious of me, so I decided to play it cool.

The day of my escape came as quickly as I wanted it to, and I was ready to leave Alan's life for good. I know everyone would wonder what could be my excuse to leave Alan so quickly, but I have already suffered enough. He was too strict and pretentious and my parents did not know what I was going through because he was a rich alpha in the making.

So many times I tried to inform my parents about what was going on, but it was all impossible.

I don't know why, but everyone always believed him more than me, so I decided to let it go and just find a way to leave. I can't explain it, but a lot was involved in my escape. I need a lot of freedom from here. So many things have already happened, so many lives have been destroyed just because of my presence.

It was nighttime and the day of my escape he was busy with the council members who wanted to put her through the governing procedures of becoming an alpha, which, I know, would make him very busy and concentrated.

I slowly peeped out of my room to find the guards a bit distracted with their smartphones, and I slowly sneaked out. I only had a pair of shirts with me inside my bag and a little ash I managed to smuggle out of Alan's wallet unnoticed.

The minute I came face-to-face with the outside world, I ran as fast as my leg could take me, because I knew the minute Alan noticed I had already vanished he would send guards or even search for me himself. That was how much I mattered to him.

"Yes, I know that Alan loves me but his way of proving his feelings is just too much". I had to do this. This was my only chance. I could slowly see the forest as I ran as fast as my leg would take me. Just when I was about to step my foot into the forest, I heard the guards alert Bell in the Mansion making a loud sound which was mostly used to announce important news and I knew this important news was the fact that I was missing, which meant I had to run faster because one thing about Alan Wolf was, he was very fast.

I tried transforming also so I could be faster, but it was impossible, so I decided to stay the way I was as I continued to run through the forest.

I had already been in the forest for more than 30 minutes when I noticed firelights coming from the mansion's direction, which meant Alan was getting closer to me. He will slowly track me down .... I know he would easily track me down because we were mates, which means he can easily sniff me out from anywhere.

I brought out a perfume I stole from the doctor, who always checks up on me as I sprayed it on my body to reduce the wolf scent that came pouring out of me. I had already run an hour's race from the mansion when I slowly saw light coming from the end of the forest, which meant I would slowly get to the main road. That would be easier for me to run and slower for Alan because he would have to transform into a human to avoid any problems with the human world.

I traveled by bus, coming from the far end as I ran faster to catch up to the bus.

I quickly rushed to the front of the bus before it got to me and spread out my hands, so the driver could halt, which he did, looking a bit scared. Yes, I know I looked tired and had been running barefoot with just a rug bag on my shoulder.

"Please stop, please you have to help me. Come down and take me with you. "If you do not take me with you, I will not leave the road and I will die on your neck?" I yelled, making the driver even more scared as he quickly came down of the bus and a lady followed behind she seemed to be in the bus conductor from the way she dressed she looked at me a bit concerned. "Where are you coming from, why were you running from the forest, what is going on, who is pursuing you," she asked me so many questions at once, but I was not ready to answer her. Another lady from traveling blossoms came out and looked at me angrily.

"Aren't you scared young lady? Don't you see how dangerous that road was? "How could you even run from the forest without knowing about the danger of going through the forest because of the kind of creatures that live within it?" The lady asked me, still looking at me from head to toe angrily like I had just ruined her trip for her but at this moment I did not care what anyone was thinking about me all I needed was to escape for me, I turn my head towards the forest and glimpsed the lights were getting closer.

"Do you want to waste time in this dangerous forest asking me that question, or would you help me rather than leave me here to die?" I asked the driver, not to even care about the speech she had just made. The driver looked at me a bit frightened at the speech I had just made. He looked over at the conductor, and she shrugged, indicating she had no choice either, so they had to take me in with them.

"Do you have a destination?" The conductor asked him, and then I tried to remember exactly where Forest led t looked and Ananda's first signboard I saw said Welcome to California, which meant this was the countryside of California. I can't believe I moved this far, just to be with Alan and he treats me this way.
