Chapter 11: Trinity- I tried to avoid trouble, now I might die?

Trinity

When I woke the next morning, I had decided to skip my morning run. I didn't think it was safe considering all that had happened. I decided to text Juniper and ask if she had any plans for the day and to see if she was willing to help distract for the day. Her and Paul were one of the few couples who had decided to live off the compound after they were mated. They were still in school and wanted to act young and carefree. I was basically using her as an excuse to hide away sowhere off the compound, but I don't think she would mind.

Cedar was the one to co pick up since he still lived on the compound with his parents. We drove into town and t up with Juniper and Paul at the movie theater. We planned to have a whole day to distract . They didn't ask a thing about the night before, which made grateful. They truly were the best.

We saw a double feature, all the while stuffing ourselves with popcorn and junk food. After which we went to the mall and I had a little bit of retail therapy with Juniper while the guys showcased their reflexes for the whole world to see at the arcade, n never truly grew up.

After shopping we had a late lunch where we complained about everything we possibly could in our lives, it was nice to just vent and get the frustrations out. But still, I didn't say anything about the previous night.

We decided to go back to Juniper and Paul's place after that. Several card gas, board gas, movies, and a very unhealthy delivery dinner later, and I was ready to pass out on their floor. I could feel soone carrying and based on scent I could guess it was Cedar, he truly acted like a doting big brother just like my cousins did. He laid on the couch, and soone covered in a blanket. I instantly fell into a deeper sleep.

I Dreamt of the alpha coming for again. Banishing . Beating . Doing Goddess knows what to . But every ti I saw his face, it both terrified and excited . I wish my body would make up its mind. Does he scare or excite ? Sa with his scent. Is it dangerous or intoxicating? Why do I find it both?

The next morning, we had our usual classes. I hadn't intended to sleep over at their house but the early mornings and troubled sleep two nights in a row made fall asleep much sooner than expected. So, I ended up borrowing so of Juniper's clothes for the day. She was so much taller than , that I had no choice but to wear shorts. Thankfully, it was still pretty warm out, even though it was the beginning of October.

I would have to skip my training though. As much as I would like to follow my typical routine, I just couldn't train without my gym bag. So, I texted Jim and let him know that I wouldn't be there today. He texted back that he understood, and he'd see next ti. When I turned my phone on to send the ssage though, I saw that I had several voicemails and text ssages from my family. Noah had left several of them, so had Carter and Aunt Eve. I was worrying them, and that broke my heart. I would have to explain everything to them when I got ho.

Class went about the sa as usual. I was glad that I had turned my assignnts in online Friday before everything had happened. Once our day was over, I decided to grab lunch with Juniper and the guys before heading ho. They had plans in the city, and I didn't want to inconvenience them any further, so I decided to walk back to the compound. Besides, I could use the extra ti to think.

The walk from the restaurant back to the compound would take around forty-five minutes. From the gates up to the house about another thirty. That was if I didn't run any of it. Running would help with the pent-up frustrations, but it would get ho that much sooner. Getting ho sooner ant I would have to explain things that much sooner as well. I had to make a decision here.

Before I could think too much on the situation I spun out of his way, causing him to barrel past and skid into a tree. There was a possibility that this was a nomad, a rogue. If that was the case, then he wouldn't know the forest as well as I did. I turned and darted into the trees. He got to his feet quickly and followed after .

I could hear his rumbling growl behind . He was faster than , but I would have the elent of surprise on my side. He would not be expecting to know how to defend myself like this.

I let him get closer to , a little too close for comfort in truth. Then I jumped to the side and used the tree as a springboard, flipping in the air to land a double kick on top of his head. I heard a satisfying thud as my heels made contact and heard an even more satisfying yelp of pain. He was montarily dazed by the blow.

Once he recovered, he was chasing again. Gaining on the lead I had won myself in his confusion. I could hear his panting breath as he ca up behind . This ti instead of using the tree as a springboard, I slid down to the ground, lying flat on my back. I used the combined montum of my slide and his run, adding to that I threw my feet up pressing them into his soft underbelly, I sent him flying up and over to collide with the tree I had been running towards.

He roared in frustration. He was not expecting to catch him so off-guard like this. He thought I would be easy prey. Well, think again pal.

No sooner had I thought that though, my foot caught the roots of the tree as I tried to stand. It wasn't long, but it cost dearly in my fight to gain a lead and plan my next attack.

He recovered from his collision with the tree sooner than I had expected and was after almost imdiately. I hadn't had ti to get enough of a lead.

This ti he caught up with instantly and pounced on . We rolled through the dirt and leaves. When we ca to a halt, he was pinning to the forest floor with his teeth bared in front of my face.

I was scared, more terrified than I had ever been in my life. But I wasn't about to show him that. I couldn't move my arms with his massive paws pinning my shoulders to the ground, but I could still move my legs. I brought my knee up into his belly. I must have hit a tender spot because he growled fiercely in my ear and set his teeth against my throat.
