#Chapter 119: Northbound

Ollie’s POV I travel northward, most often as a wolf with my duffle bag draped across the back of my wolf body, but sometimes as a human when I feel like moving at a slower pace – which is often. It seems the more distance I try to put between myself and my mates, the more I begin to doubt my actions. While I have so many reasons for leaving them behind, and those reasons are valid, my heart still feels tied to them in ways that are not so easy to shake off. These ties make me question if I would truly be able to succeed in running and hiding from them.
