I Was Not a Nobody novel

---- Chapter 10 August's face was still badly swollen. I stared at him warily. "How did you find this place? What do you want?" For him to evade so many of Ryder's pack members and track me down here, he must've gone to great lengths. The image of Hailey's deranged expression flashed through my mind, and my heart clenched tight in alarm. August seemed to sense my fear and quickly spoke up, "Sophia, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I just..." I took two steps back, feeling irritated.

"Just what?" "Sophia, the truth is... the one I've always loved is you. Every time I think about you being with another werewolf, having his pup... it feels like my heart is being ripped apart. "T know you love me, too. Come with me. Let's run away. Let's go somewhere no one knows us and start over." ---- August was covered in wounds, but it was obvious he had dressed carefully before coming to see me.
