of his existence if he was incarcerated. She couldn't do that to him or Stefan. She realized then that she was in love with Nik.
“Oh God, please help me. What have you done to me? How could you have made me the mate of a werewolf? I didn't even know they existed, until recently,” Meg sobbed.
Meg became aware of a light glowing through the trees. She ducked behind a very large tree trunk as adrenaline kicked in. She was ready for a 'flight of fight' situation. She knew damn well she wouldn't be any hindrance to a werewolf. Looks like she was going to have to flee. Meg listened intently as the glowing light come closer and closer. She couldn't hear any footsteps.
“I am here to help you. Come out, come out, wherever you are. Megan, I will not hurt you. I can show you a way to freedom.”
Megan closed her eyes in distress. Whoever the female with the singsong voice was, she knew who Megan was.
“Open your eyes Megan. Come I will show you the way.”
Megan opened her eyes to see an ethereal, glowing figure of a female in front of her. She blinked, then blinked again.
“I promise you, I am real. Please, come. We must hurry, they have discovered your escape.”
“Who, what are you?” Meg asked her voice trembling.
“I am what you think. I will not hurt you. Come, now.”
Meg took a deep breath and followed the floating, spectral female. She jogged slowly ignoring the pain in her knee. They traveled for what seemed like miles, until the pain in her knee and the pounding in her head, was so incessant, Megan knew she could go no further. She slumped to the ground and panted for breath, holding her throbbing knee.
The female ghost turned towards Megan and knelt at her side, “Close your eyes, Megan.” Megan complied to the request. She felt a warm tingling in the vicinity of her knee. The throbbing in her knee stopped and she felt the swelling reduce.
“Come, you must hurry. They are gaining on us,” stated the female spirit.
Megan got to her feet and followed her guide at a run. She ran and ran, until she felt she was running on pure adrenaline. She was totally exhausted, but knew she could not stop. The spirit slowed down and pointed to the river visible in a gap amongst the trees.
“You must swim across. When you are on the other side you will be safe. Go, Blessed Be Megan,” stated her spirit guide, then she faded away.
Megan ran to the river and dove into the ice cold water. She felt the water dragging her down, her shoes and clothes became heavy with water. She stopped, treading water, using the toes of her feet, she nudged her shoes and socks off. She took off the sweater and let it go, then struggled to discard her wet clinging denim jeans, but finally managed to remove them. She was left wearing a bra, T-shirt and panties, but she felt much lighter, and struck out for the other side of the river bank.
Chapter Six
Nik and his Beta's were about to leave the house for an all-out attack on the Malibu Pack, until he heard Harry call his name.
“I've just had a phone call from Helen, the house keeper of the Malibu Pack. It seems your mate has escaped. The last she heard, Malibu Pack members were chasing her towards the river,” Harry stated.
“Thanks Harry. Change of plans Beta's, we head to the river at the far end of the property, to the south,” Nik stated and took off running, with his Beta's following.
Nik, Stefan, Seamus and Logan changed in mid stride to their were forms. They would reach the river much faster, as they had more speed, agility and great night vision in their wolf forms.
They reached the river just in time to see Malibu Pack members dive into the water from the far side.
Nik spotted Megan about twenty feet in front of him.
She was struggling with fatigue, trying to reach their side of the river. He didn't stop to think, just dove straight in and headed towards her.
Megan heard the splash close to her and gave a sob as she struggled to keep her head
