    “I’m sorry Cole. I was hoping that getting you to yell and scream would release bthe /bfear bthat’s /bbuilding up but you don’t seem to be any more rxed.” He shakes his head.

    “The only thing that will help me right now is Valium or Ativan.” He admits quietly with his back towards me.

    “What did you want to talk to me about?”

    “I wanted to get a better idea of your n. If you had a time frame you think you could work towards so I have a better idea of when to start looking for you.”

    “Is crossing your border unannounced going to be a problem?”

    “No. I’ve already started putting together additional training sses with all of my warriors and border patrol members due to the disastrous tracking skills that happened when Willow was under attack.

    Your picture will be shown in all the sses as well as strict instructions on how to interact with you and bring you to Ang in the medical wing. Both of us will be alerted but your first stop when you get here will be the med wing.”

    He whines quietly but doesn’t speak what he’s thinking.

    “I’ve never been this close to the six month deadline my father gives. He’s always said six months but the date he gives is usually thest day of the sixth month so there’s usually a few days to a week built in.”

    “What was your date this time?” I slip in while he’s silent.

    “July 31st.” I nod even though he can’t see me.

    “The timing depends a lot on how bad my wee home party is. If it’s just dad or just Kristoph then I should be well enough to run and handle being caught by the end of the year.”

    “That’s your goal? To run in the middle of winter?”

    I’m shocked that he wouldn’t try for even a slightly warmer time. He nods, staying silent for a

    moment.

    “I’m returning at the end of July. I’ve been preparing myself for the one meal a day I can usually steal from the kitchen around midnight for thest two months which has resulted in

    me losing weight again which will make it easier for him to break me but will keep bme /bbfrom /bgetting sick when I’m forced onto such a reduced calorie diet.

    My normal weing takes me three to four months to heal from depending on how much help I have from Jamie, Olivia and the other littles. Aiming for the end of the year bwill /bgive me two months to try and get more than my usual amount to eat which will aid in my healing when I’m in the hospital.”

    “Why can’t you just stay?” I blurt out frustratingly.

    “As much as it doesn’t make sense, I need myptop. I need to explore my father’sputer onest time. There is something on hisputer that my wolf saw, that he recognized as critical to our freedom that I didn’t see. I have tried for months to ess hiswork but ball /bI’ve managed to do is ess his big brother ount.”

    “I’m surprised that he hasn’t changed his password yet.” I add in with a slight chuckle. “Normally those programs will send an alert when it’s essed on a differentputer.”

    “It did but you need to remember that I’ve done this before and I’ve already countered the

    alert.”

    “So he changed it and you hacked it again?” I can’t help but ask. He chuckles lightly.

    “Something like that.”

    He skirts the question but that’s not a big deal for me, as long as I have the ability to continue what he’s started while he’s away.

    “While I was really hoping to converse a little longer I just got a link that the van has arrived. We need to finish getting all yours and Jamie’s stuff out to the porch.” I state sadly.

    “I’m sorry alpha.”

    The familiar waiver in his voice is all I need to hear. I make my way around the bed to him.
