CROSSING THE BORDER novel Chapter 1

Rania ran for her life. She didn’t dare to slow down, even though her legs were in pain, screaming at her to stop.

Her pursuer was so close. She couldn’t risk getting caught, it would be the end of her.

[Rania! Come back here!]

Her father’s voice boomed in her head, as he mind link her furiously. He was among the pursuer, including her stepbrother and the alpha’s son.

Armed with a dozen warriors of Black Stone pack, Rania’s chance to escape the pack was close to none. Still, she had to try. The border of the pack was so close, she could feel it.

Rania pumped her legs faster, begging the Moon Goddess to show her some miracle, as adrenaline rushed in her veins, numbing the pain from the belted branches and sharp edges of stones that cut her skin, as she ran through the forest.

A little bit more. A little bit more. She told herself.

Her backpack got caught in one of the branches, it halted her a bit, as the things inside spilled out, but Rania didn’t stop to collect them, instead she abandoned them entirely.

She could find a way to get new clothes, once she got out of this pack. There was nothing important for her right now, but to get out of this hellish place.

Unfortunately, Rania couldn’t shift yet. Most of the shifter would be able to shift once they turned eighteen and it was two days away for Rania.

But, she was not going to spend another second here, especially after what the alpha’s son; Caden, did to her.

[Rania, you are dead, if got my hand on you!]

Her father, beta Alaric, snarled viciously in her mind. She tried to close the mind link, but she didn’t have the strength to do it. Her father was too powerful.

So close. A little bit more. A little bit faster.

Her lungs were burning, but Rania forced her way through, as she could see the border of the Black Stone. Beyond this was Bloody Wolf pack.

This part of the border was not heavily guarded, therefore Rania chose to use this path for her escape.

A little bit more…

And there, Rania managed to cross the border of Black Stone pack. It was marked by a river that ran between the two pack. The river was shallow, so she could cross it with ease.

Once Rania was on the other side of the river, she collapsed on the ground, panted heavily, as her lungs tried to get the air greedily.

Every inch of her body was in pain, but she did it! She managed to cross the border.

On cue of an angry howl, Rania turned her body around and saw Caden and her stepbrother, Killian, shifted into the human form.
