TABITHA
I had run to my secret place, a place only a few knew about. This was a place Willa and I used to come to as children when we needed to escape. The tears had stopped falling, I quickly wiped my eyes so they were dry and took a few deep breaths. The moment I started to breathe deeply, it began to feel strange, not the kind of strange I felt when Asher and I touched when we discovered we were mates.
No, this was much different, much more painful. I needed to find Asher, I had a feeling the pain had to do with him, but I couldn't be sure. It was the first time I had ever felt like this before. I turned around and headed back into the forest, retracing my steps until I picked up on his smell, the smell of the forest floor after a rainfall, and since it didn't rain any time recently
