Chapter 75 Leave

• Shane
• The pain etched in her features knocks the wind out of me. She’s looking at me like I’d just struck her. I want nothing more than to take her up on her offer. I want to whisk her away and take her far from here. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. I still want to, but for once in my life I’m trying to do what’s right. I’m thinking about her well being. I’m thinking about after we run from here. We aren’t kids anymore, we can’t just expect a happily ever after. I need to make it happen and right now I’m in no condition to fight or protect her right now.
• Blood trickles down my back as if to confirm what I already know. I won’t admit it out loud but right now I’m weak. I’m nothing. I can’t help her. They don’t know about us right this minute, but when will they know? Ethan will eventually lose his patience and send someone after her. I’m not in the best condition and I don’t think I can shift. She hasn’t shifted yet and I don’t want to take the chance they’ll find us.
