Episode 3

I walked out of my room, sweatpants and a clean t-shirt, and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. As I run my hand through my hair, lost in thought and needing an escape,

my Beta Taylor walks in dressed to impress. I couldn't help the humorless laugh that escaped my lips. Always the hopeful I thought.

"Hey man, we're heading into town to celebrate our victory. You should come. It's not good to stay in this house all the time." he explains with more enthusiasm than I care to be around.

"No", a simple response. He should really know better than to waste my time by now.

As if reading my thoughts, "I'm not giving up, ya know." And with a smirk on his face, he took off out the door.

I know he means well but its still useless. He has known me since we were just pups and my dad was Alpha. When things were simple. When I get my mind set, no one can make me bend. Without her , I'll never be less than cruel.

Seeing as I have nothing better to do tonight, I head out for a run. I need the release, to feel the rush as my muscles bunch and contract. The power pulsing through my veins. It's the only taste of relief I'm allowed. I'm a monster. And monsters don't deserve luxuries.

Upon exiting the store, I can't help but notice the well-built, attractive man jogging out from the border of the woods. 'That's odd', I think to myself. Who in their right mind would want to go in there when there are so many dangers lurking about.

What is wrong with me, I think, as I shake my head to clear it. I'm married for crying out loud. In our time of marriage I have never felt the need to 'check out' other males. Yep, the hunger is definitely getting to me.

As I go to take my eyes off of him, his heads snaps up and our gazes lock. My heart speeds up and my breath catches. I can no longer breathe. I feel caught in his trap. Oh no...

********

I ran. With everything I had. Trees flew by, animals scurried. I put all of my hatred into every sprint, every strain of my muscles. As I neared the edge of town, I slowed to a lazy jog. No need to burst from the woods like a mad man and scare the locals.

As I step out of the shadows and into the light, the unthinkable happens...
