her figure moving down the sidewalk even after 3 months of marriage he couldn't believe he had managed to win her heart every time he looked at her his heart skipped a beat she was tall with a slender build and dark hair that shimmered with hints of blue today she wore tight blue jeans and a crisp white blouse her beauty making Him want to call her back and lose himself in her arms she wasn't wearing a bra and the way her athet body moved exuded confidence she climbed into the truck and gave him a curious glance

what she asked I just can't get over how beautiful you are he admitted she smiled her teeth white against her pale skin her complexion was almost translucent a rare quality she maintained with daily runs through their neighborhood and lounging by their pool the outdoors was Her domain just like him this was their second hunting trip together and Brian knew she was skilled with any weapon her father had raised elk and deer up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and now they were excited to hunt together Allan was eager to bag at least one elk Brian wasn't much

of a bow hunter but he respected it as she looked at him warmth filled her heart she was so grateful for him their closeness was something she couldn't get enough of and they had Decided to wait a little longer before starting a family right now they were simply enjoying their marriage Brian was everything she had ever wanted they had met in college during their senior year and she instantly knew he was her soulmate there was just something about him that made her feel weak in the knees his wit intelligence and humor matched hers perfectly and

his outdoorsy nature was the cherry on top he was the most attractive man she'd ever met tall with Big brown eyes a swimmer's physique and a presence that was impossible to ignore allenair was in love and she had the man of her dreams the drive from Colorado was long so they stopped for the night in De Moine the next evening they arrived at a lodge to meet their guides Peter Thompson the first guide was a wiry cowboy in his late 40s standing about 5 8 in and weighing no more than 120 lb the second guide

Reigns Parker was His opposite at 65 in and 250 lb Reigns had a rugged almost otherworldly presence his long black hair was tied back in a ponytail and though quiet he seemed to radiate strength Allan found him strikingly handsome his muscular arms almost overwhelming his neck don't mind Reigns Peter said with a chuckle in all the time I've known him he's barely spoken 500 words he's a college student who played football for the Raiders but the man knows his way Around the forest his dad was a Forester around here so he knows the land like

the back of his hand after dinner Brian and Allen tried bison for the first time which Reigns had prepared Allan offered to help refused with a low rumbling voice that reminded her of a bear I've got it covered he said his deep voice adding a sense of authority but if you want to you can set the table dishes are in the cupboard silverware is in the bottom drawer Allan set the table and Peter poured them some red wine the Bison was incredible and rain's cooking skills were impressive over dinner they discussed their plans when Allan

mentioned using a bow rain's eyes brightened do you hunt with a bow she asked he nodded his expression thoughtful what kind of bow do you use I shoot a 65lb bear bow with Quest Power Punch arrows and 125 grain Hellraiser points she replied I'm still learning with a longbow but it's not quite ready Yet I'm making it myself Reigns looked at her for a long moment I'm impressed most women wouldn't take on something like that well it's new for me Allan answered Peter chuckled Reigns isn't easily impressed Allan turned to Brian do you bow huntt

too no Brian said with a laugh it's a bit much for me well letun let these two take the lead and we'll bag something too Peter added last season my group bagged five moose Allen's eyes lit up with excitement I'm Hoping for something tasty she said it doesn't have to be massive but I want something worthwhile Reigns grinned Brian's just after a moose but I'm sure he'll get it if Peter can stop talking and get closer we'll be in luck they turned in early and were up at 6: am. the next day The cold bit

into Alan's skin as she shivered but the layers of clothing quickly warmed her up by the time Allan had finished dressing Reigns had already prepared breakfast they ate Quickly eager to get moving and when they were done Reigns tied up the horses outside Allan strapped her bow to her saddle and they set off she was a bit stiff from yesterday's ride but soon her body loosened up she kissed Brian before they parted ways he and Peter going one way while Reigns led her along narrow path that climbed up the mountain after about an hour of

riding they reached a point where the view of a vast Canyon opened up rigns pulled out his Binoculars and Allen followed his gaze at 3:00 about 2 mil out past those Aspen trees he said Allan peered in the direction he pointed spotting half a dozen moose moving through the clearing what do you think she asked the second Bull looks pretty big from here heun decent she said not a record but still a great catch are you hoping for something bigger Reigns asked maybe but you have to search for it she replied letun go see what

we can find he said sometimes The perfect can be the enemy of the good she agreed and they rode into the canyon ready for whatever the hunt might bring by the time rains arrived and dismounted the heat had become unbearable and Allen was starting to feel the burn they tied the horses to a nearby post and she quickly peeled off a couple of layers of clothing as she did she got the Sensation that she was being watched glancing at Reigns she caught him looking at her with evident approval What's going on she thought feeling slightly

awkward her cheeks flushed and she turned toward him what's up she asked trying to keep things casual nothing he replied you're just very beautiful I hope I'm not causing any trouble he added Allan Shrugged it off Brian says that all the time she said a bit of an uncomfortable smile tugging at her lips for some reason she felt compelled to mention her husband anyway forget it let's go hunt she said Lowering her bow and pulling out her arrows they made their way to the area where they had last spotted the elk scanning the surroundings Allen's

stomach dropped when she realized they were already half a mile away from the animals and they were moving further letun try to get ahead of them she suggested but Reign shook his head thoughtfully not likely we'd have to climb over this rock wall and we can't bring the horses Along by the time we Get to the top they'll probably be long gone better to head south into the next Canyon and see if we can find anything there the day stretched on with two more unsuccessful attempts one of the elk they encountered had a broken horn

and Reigns agreed it wasn't worth pursuing it was already getting late so they decided to head back they rode in companionable silence for the most part just before reaching their cabin rign stopped his horse I've got an idea he Said we'd have to wake up at 3: and drive for a few hours but there's a massive bull I'd love for you to go after do you think I'm game Allan responded eager for the challenge look Reigns she said I'm not disappointed by today honestly I just love being out here sure I want moose but that's

just a bonus being in the wild hunting together that's what really matters when they returned Brian and Peter were already back they'd seen the elk but it was in a Canyon they couldn't reach from their current position so they planned to go after it the next day after dinner Allen and Reigns headed out early the following morning it was freezing when they woke up but they quickly ate breakfast and saddled their horses before the others even stirred the dark ride through the forest had unsettled Allan and she was grateful to have reigns guiding them through

the unknown as the sun rose they neared the area Where they hoped to find game by midm morning Allan spotted a herd of elk grazing near some Aspen trees they carefully followed them and soon found themselves within 200 yard of the biggest moose Allen had ever seen sudden suddenly it started to rain and the Moose became nervous we need to move quickly Reigns whispered they'll seek cover soon when we rise take the shot you've got a real shot at this one Allen it's a great bull Allen moved closer Waiting for the Moose to lower its

head as it shifted slightly she crouched and released the arrow it was a perfect shot just behind the front leg and slightly below Center the massive animal jolted and charged forward as though shot from a cannon Allen's heart raced her body shaking with adrenaline as she turned to Reigns did you see that I kick him Reigns she exclaimed you couldn't have made a better shot he said his voice calm but Impressed unable to contain her excitement Allan threw her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek it's huge she said still trembling with

excitement how long do we need to wait before we go after him she realized she was still holding him and her face flushed with embarrassment pulling away she cleared her throat and said letun get the horses and go after him the rain was coming down harder now and the temperature had dropped Significantly the sky was overcast and a chill Mist Rose from the ground as they LED their horses to where she had shot the Moose they started tracking the animal through the aspen trees making steady progress after about a quarter of a mile they reached

the edge of a meadow there they found the Moose lying almost exactly in the center of the clearing Allan asked Reigns to take a few pictures and she snapped one of him standing proudly by the animal then they Immediately set to work beginning the process of field dressing the Moose Reigns helped her quarter the animal and they wrapped the meat in plastic stowing it in canvas bags for transport by the time they finished the snow had started to fall heavily and visibility was poor the wind picked up and strangely lightning crackled in the distance Allen

was beginning to feel Panic set in as the storm worsened Reigns however moved with purpose walking quickly through the Snow after half a mile he halted and dismounted with the wind howling around them he shouted over the noise there's a stone wall just ahead about 20 ft keep an eye out for an overhang or a cave something to use for shelter we need cover fast Allan nodded and they moved forward soon the Wall came into view and they followed it for another half mile before it began to taper off we have to turn around and

search the other side Reigns yelled in her ear the snow was Accumulating quickly now and the ground was C CED they retraced their steps but after walking another 100 yard they realized they couldn't even see their tracks anymore Allan was dressed in quality gear but some spots had gotten wet and she was starting to shiver uncontrollably as her body's warmth drained away up ahead a dark opening appeared in the stone wall Reigns dismounted and approached it inspecting the entrance it was wide enough at first But it narrowed quickly after about 15 ft they led the

horses into the small cave likee space and Reigns peaked into the narrow passage Beyond Allan's teeth were chattering and Reigns could see she was in trouble I'm going to find wood for a fire he said do what you can with the horses get the blankets off their Saddles and find my lighter in my backpack I'll get a fire started as soon as I can it'll help you warm up Allan was so cold her hands stiff and clumsy But she managed to begin unsaddling the horses she cursed under her breath as her frozen fingers struggled with

the straps after a moment she managed to remove the Saddles and spread the pads out on the floor of the small cave then she laid out the blankets on top she pulled out her foam pillow and set it on the ground arranging the blankets around it after fumbling through re's backpack she finally found a dry bag with three lighters and a can of lighter fluid Inside she carefully made a small ring of stones just inside the narrow part of the cave to contain the fire the smoke would Escape through the opening and the warmth would

help both them and the horses survive the storm by the time Reigns returned with an armful of dry wood he'd gathered from nearby trees Allen was shivering uncontrollably he quickly broke the branches into smaller pieces and began constructing a small tp- shaped Structure in the center of the Stone Circle they' created gradually he added larger logs on top building a sturdy base Allan joined in and together they had a decent sized pile of wood ready Reigns doused the smallest branches with lighter fluid making sure they were well soaked he then created a trail leading to

the pile lighting it with a match the fire caught quickly and within moments the dry wood burst into flames after a few minutes they had a solid Blaze Crackling in front of them Allan stretched her Frozen hands toward the warmth teeth chattering from the cold Reigns glanced at her concern etched on his face when he noticed her lips starting to turn blue alender are you soaked yeah she replied her teeth chattering some of my clothes are wet and I can't stop shaking we need to get you out of those wet clothes he said urgently you'll

never warm up if you stay in them take them off and wrap up In blankets we'll hang your clothes near the fire to dry the last thing Alan wanted was to strip down in the cold but she was freezing don't look she muttered her voice barely audible I swear I won't Reigns promised do you want me to freeze or be modest she asked trying to make light of the situation as she began removing her soaked clothes she stripped down to her underwear quickly discarding her wet bra and wrapped her self in one Of the thick

blankets before hurrying to the fire for warmth Reigns collected her clothes and hung them on sticks propping them up near the Flames Allan couldn't stop shivering and Reign's worry deepened she was on the edge of hypothermia and he knew they needed to get her warm quickly Allan on the other hand was too tired to pay attention to him as he began undressing she didn't notice much until he gently lifted her and placed her on the saddle cushions he Moved closer to the fire A Rush of cold air hit her as he opened the blankets but

then she felt his warm skin against hers she couldn't help but shiver even as his body spread warmth through hers Allan was half conscious too lethargic to fully process what was happening as she lay there occasionally shuttering as her body tried to keep warm the fire began to grow stronger and the heat from it combined with re's body heat slowly began to thaw her Frozen limbs as she Became more aware of her surroundings she realized how exposed she was almost undressed beneath the blankets with RS someone who wasn't her husband she looked into his eyes

I'm really sorry allander he said quietly his voice filled with genuine regret it's fine she murmured still feeling the cold but also a strange warmth beginning to spread through her you're really beautiful he continued softly I've never met anyone like you before if you were less Beautiful and more I don't know ordinary I'd still admire how independent smart and funny you are but you're not ordinary you're stunning you've got a body that's hard to forget and I can feel you so close to me it's exciting honestly I haven't spoken this much to anyone in forever

thank you Reigns Allan said her face flushing at the compliment that's very kind but I'm married I know he said his tone sincere I'm trying to be a gentleman here I appreciate it she replied feeling awkward let just forget it let's stay warm all right do you mind if I sleep he asked sounding a little unsure maybe it's better if we both rest how long do you think we'll be stuck here she asked her voice still shaky but warmer than before could be a few hours could be a few days Reigns answered looking thoughtful we

won't starve but we'll get thirsty if we don't melt some snow I've Got a few pans I really don't want to leave you but I need more wood I'll call Peter and your husband and let them know we're safe we'll be all right I'll be fine she reassured him now feeling a little warmer once my clothes dry I can help you out I don't need anything right now he said you were scared earlier stay here and rest I'll be back in about an hour Reign had already stocked up a good amount of firewood including several

large logs he also turned over some of The elk they had hunted earlier cutting strips of meat and skewering them on green sticks to roast the sizzling Aroma of cooking meat quickly filled the cave making Alan's stomach growl as she turned the elk over the fire her stomach grumbled with Hunger her clothes still weren't dry so she stayed wrapped in blankets Reigns pulled out some salt from his backpack and they ate the roasted meat it was the best thing Allan had ever tasted tender and flavorful Like the finest beef Reigns then took two metal pans

filled them with snow and set them over the fire to melt he repeated the process a few times until they had about half a gallon of clean water which he set aside to cool the fire was well established now and Reigns covered it with large logs ensuring it would last through the night it was completely dark outside now and they decided it was time to sleep Allan stood up and they arranged the saddle pads Into a makeshift mattress it was narrow Less Than 3 ft wide but they managed to fit Allan lay down and Rain

stripped off his outer layers leaving only his boxers and socks though she didn't want to look her eyes were drawn to him he was incredibly muscular and his body bore the marks of his football career large scars on his knees from surgeries but didn't have the typical football player's gut Allan guessed he must have shed a lot of weight since his playing Days he slid under the covers next to her the warmth from his body was comforting but Allan felt an immediate discomfort the only way they could both fit on the narrow pad was to

either lie on their sides close together or half on top of each other she turned her back to him and he did the same his wide warm back pressed against her making it impossible to ignore the closeness the awkwardness of the situation kept her aake wake for a while but Reigns seemed To fall asleep easily his slow steady breathing eventually lulled Allan into a fitful sleep when allander woke up the world around her was Pitch Black and she assumed she'd been asleep for a couple of hours as she shifted in the blankets she realized that

in their sleep she had ended up on top of Reigns her cheek resting against his chest and her body pressed against his side at some point she had begun rubbing herself unintentionally against his thigh and The realization made her heart race with panic she could feel his hand on her back and when she realized he was awake her stomach dropped in horror she wasn't sure if he knew she was conscious but she decided to roll over and pretend to sleep but just as she started to move his hands slid down cupping her backside and pulling

her closer the contact caused her body to respond involuntarily and the plan she had to quietly shift away fell apart it was the most awkward And uncomfortable situation allander could imagine and she cursed herself silently feeling utterly out of control his movement made her shift again and she almost moaned she couldn't stop her hips from moving no matter how hard she tried her mind felt foggy and she couldn't think clearly she remembered the emptiness she had been feeling earlier and now the sensation was overwhelming his warm breath tickled the back of her neck as he

nuzzled her ear And she shuddered Goosebumps Rising on her arms oh God she whispered her voice barely Audible Reigns you're eliminating me you're so beautiful allander he murmured against her skin so hot I can't I don't know what to do as the moments passed and the intensity of their closeness began to settle the weight of his body on hers became strangely comforting she felt herself drifting in a state of Half-conscious bliss her body still responding to him even as her mind slowly cleared when the full realization of what had happened hit her a wave of

guilt and shame crashed over her and she couldn't hold back the tears she trembled as she cried in his arms what's wrong allander he asked quietly concerned in his voice damn you Reigns she sobbed I shouldn't have let this happen I love my husband I never even thought about another man and now now I've betrayed him I'm a cheater and it will never feel the same again I hate myself and I hate you for it how am I going to face Brian after this get your hands off me Reigns I'm going to check on my

clothes she stood up and Reigns filled with regret watched as she walked to where her clothes were drying he saw her stunning figure undressed and beautiful and it made his heart ache with both guilt and longing she returned to the blankets wrapping herself up and Lying back down her body still trembling Youk face him just like you always do rain said quietly nobody will ever know what happened here I'll keep it a secret we were two people caught in a storm a situation neither of us planned We Didn't Start the storm we didn't choose to

freeze what else could have happened we were two adults alone in a cave undressed wrapped in blankets it happened and I don't regret it and I don't think you do either you felt it Too I'm not trying to replace your husband he continued I know you love him and nothing between us changes that but I wish I had met you first you're the most amazing woman I've ever known this didn't just happen it was real but I can live with it if you can then we move forward I'm not trying to steal you I know

you're not mine and I won't ever pretend you are but I had this moment with you and I can live with that whatever happens next I'll be okay Allander took a deep breath and stared out at the sky the storm had stopped and the stars were visible above after this is over she said her voice cold but steady if I ever hear your name again or if I ever see you again I swear to God I will hunt you down and put an arrow through your heart I'll make sure you never see me again he

replied alander didn't say anything as they made their way back the entire Journey was a blur of guilt and regret The weight of her actions pressed heavily on her chest and as they drove she couldn't stop thinking about what she had done she couldn't live with this guilt but she didn't know how to fix it her first instinct was to go home to be the perfect wife to make Brian happy and never let him suspect what had happened but the guilt gnawed at her every second it was too much to bear she knew that Brian

deserved better he was a good man and she had failed him when they got Home she knew she couldn't keep this secret it would eat her alive they unpacked their things in silence Brian sat down in the living room checking his emails while allander poured two glasses of whiskey and sat next to him her hands were shaking as she handed him the glass Brian she said her voice calm but broken I need to tell you something he set the computer side and looked at her with concern what is it alander you've been off since we

got back I did something Terrible she said and the words Spilled Out each one bringing with it a wave of Shame she explained everything though she left out the worst details to spare him the full pain of it his expression Twisted with hurt as he listened and when the last words left her lips he couldn't hold back his tears she wanted to reach out to comfort him but the weight of her betrayal felt too over whelming as he cried she tried to hold it together fighting the urge to break Down herself she spoke in a

steady voice telling him the whole story as if it wasn't her own we have two paths ahead of us she said softly if you want a divorce I'll pack my things and leave I deserve it I won't beg I'll sign whatever papers you want I'll go and you won't ever have to deal with me again just say the word Brian didn't speak at first his face a mask of anguish after what felt like an eternity he simply said Okay Al Lander's chest felt like it had caved in her heart sinking painfully without saying another word

she stood up and started collecting her suitcases what are you doing Brian asked his voice trembling I'm leaving she replied her tone flat wait did I hear you right no she answered her voice breaking slightly I just agreed with what you said you haven't mentioned the second option yet she walked over to the whiskey bottle and took a slow deliberate sip feeling The burn spread down her throat I'm not leaving Brian the second option is for us to stay together you'll forgive me I'll repent and we'll keep our marriage I know I don't deserve your

forgiveness but I'm asking for it anyway I know this will be hard and I don't expect you to give me this chance but it's what I want more than anything Brian looked at her his eyes cold are you in love with Reigns no ler gasped shaking her head vigorously I hardly know him I don't Want to see him again I love you Brian you are the only one I can ever love that's the truth no matter what you choose he was silent for a long time finally he spoke his voice low and tired if I

divorce you what will you do allander hesitated I think I'll go to Canada she said quietly it's always been a dream of mine a peaceful little Cabin in the Woods away from everything maybe my dad can help me get started I'll figure it out Brian Lay still staring at The ceiling only the sound of his glass gently rocking betraying that he was still alive he didn't speak for a long time no he said finally his voice horar I'm not going to divorce you alander I'm not going to do something I'll regret later but I need

you to leave I don't know if I'll be able to get past this I don't know if I can handle being around you right now maybe I'll get over it maybe I won't I want to believe you don't love him and that you won't see Him again but can you forget him that's what scares me it's the thing that will haunt me if I survive this allander took a long shaky breath yes Brian I'm sure I can't promise you that you'll believe me but you'll see it in time I swear he stared at her his

face a mask of pain what happened alander none of this was supposed to happen you know that I know she whispered I didn't want any of this I didn't mean for it to happen I never wanted to hurt you Brian's face Twisted With a mix of anger and heartbreak I'm grateful you're alive alander but I hate what you did I hate you right now please just go let me know where you're staying I can't be near you right now allander didn't say anything else she went to the bedroom packed her clothes into suitcases moving like

a robot her mind was numb unable to process the storm of emotions raging inside her she walked into the garage to find a box for her personal items her eyes blurry with Unshed tears she glanced at Brian who hadn't moved his tears Shone in the dim light and the sight Twisted the knife in her chest she could almost hear the sound of her heartbreaking in the garage she couldn't hold it together anymore she collapsed onto the workbench sobbing uncontrollably her hand brushed against something and she looked down to see the tool belt she had given

him for his birthday the weight of it crushed her grief regret and self-loathing tore Through her like a wave she didn't know how long she sat there crying but as the tears began to slow slow anger took over rage at herself at rains at the Storm at the whole damn situation flooded her everything had fallen apart and all her dreams felt shattered she hated herself for what she had done for the woman she had become there was no way back from this she was broken the man she loved was broken it was the worst kind

of failure and she couldn't fix it she Wiped her face with the back of her hand and took a shuttering breath her eyes fell on the wall where her weapon rack hung the sight of it seemed fitting Something Beautiful Something destructive she stood up her movements mechanical as if driven by some Force she couldn't control she grabbed her vintage Browning sweet 16 opened the Chamber and loaded it with Buckshot allander Brian's voice made her freeze what are you doing no you can't do this Don't take the easy way out what the hell are you trying

to prove you've never been a coward don't start now face the mess you've made what happened to the woman I married she turned to him her face stre with tears shek gone Brian she sobbed shek broken I don't know how to fix this I don't know how to keep going I'm so scared what should I do now I don't know he said his voice barely a whisper not this promise me you won't do this promise me you'll find yourself First alander when you do let me know but put the tool down alander trembled her chest

tight as she fought to breathe I promise Brian she whispered her voice cracking but she didn't put the tool down no she said quietly I'm taking it with me to remember it's part of who I was part of who I used to be I'll pack everything up for you tomorrow and send it to wherever you go Brian said his voice empty he turned away slowly and walked back into the house allander Placed the tool back in its case carrying it to her car she grabbed the Box she'd come for took it upstairs and began packing

her personal items in her office she grabbed her laptop and a photo of Brian something to hold on to she locked the front door behind her and drove off without a clear destination in mind but knowing she needed to get as far away as possible a couple of hours later she called Brian please pack up my things and leave them in the garage Until I know where I'm going she said her voice shaky 3 days later she found herself in winthrip Washington as alander drove through the snow covered landscape her eyes caught a sign that

read con canulli she felt an instant pull toward the small town nestled in the heart of nowhere it was a place that could only be accessed by snowmobile during the winter months adding to its secluded charm she instantly fell for its quiet peaceful Vibe she found a Small storefront for rent with an apartment above and decided to make it her new home two weeks later Brian received her address and soon after her belongings were shipped to her new place allander was financially secure so she took her time adjusting spending a month exploring the town and

getting to know the locals in her exploration she discovered that she could rent vast stretches of land for hunting and fishing something she had always wanted To do with that she launched a guide service and by the time summer rolled around she had her first clients eager to fish for trout the work gave her a sense of purpose and for a while it helped her forget the emptiness she felt inside physically allander was fine but emotionally she was a wreck her heart had been shattered and no matter how many times she tried to shake it

off she couldn't escape the pain every night she cried herself to Sleep caught in the belief that happiness was now Out Of Reach she couldn't understand how one 6-hour span of her life could have caused so much Devastation she kept in touch with Brian through letters writing to him weekly and he always responded back home Brian could hardly bear to watch alander leave his Instinct was to run after her beg her to stay and to fix everything she looked so fragile so lost and it broke him but he managed to keep himself in Check he

knew this was the only way forward allander needed to find her own strength again and she couldn't do that if he was always there they would figure out their future when she was in a better place despite his resolve Brian was terrified that allander might fall back into her darkest thoughts and forget the promise she made to him to stay alive he knew she'd always been true to her word except for one time that broken Promise had left her a shell of who she used to be still he held on to Hope believing time would

heal her wounds when she called him to ask for her things to be sent to her he felt a glimmer of relief it meant she was starting to heal and he allowed himself to move on from the worry but there were still nagging thoughts in the back of his mind about what had happened about Reigns he couldn't shake the image of the man who Had taken advantage of a Lander when she was at her weakest Brian believed Reigns was unscrupulous unprofessional and that he had prayed on aer's vulnerability even if she had willingly participated he

couldn't help but think that she wasn't in her right state of mind and the guilt of failing to protect her weighed heavily on him if only he had been more cautious more present he wasn't taking responsibility for what happened between them but he couldn't Help feeling that if he had gone with her things might have turned out differently Rees needed to pay for what he'd done Brian was no stranger to physical confrontation he was tough a former wrestler and he knew his limits but he also knew attacking Reigns would only land him in jail so

he had to find a way to make sure the man faced consequences without leaving himself exposed then there was Al Lander's Father he was about to arrive and Brian dreaded the conversation how could he explain everything to Thomas how could he tell the man that his daughter had been driven away because of her infidelity that she had been taken advantage of and that Brian had sent her away to protect her he didn't want to break Thomas's heart but he knew he had to be honest no matter how painful it was when Brian met Thomas at

the airport the old man scanned the crowd clearly expecting to see his daughter Brian's heart sank knowing how much this would hurt him he took Thomas to lunch at cheddar where he finally had to break the news shek gone Brian said simply what do you mean gone Thomas asked confusion and concern in his voice where is she why didn't anyone call me Brian hesitated his throat tight honestly we didn't want you to know it's a long story and I'll explain everything But brace yourself as Brian recounted the entire painful ordeal Thomas listened in stunned silence

the weight of the story seemed to settle in the air between them finally the waiter arrived breaking the tension and Thomas ordered bourbon for them both I don't know about you he said but I need a drink they sipped their drinks in silence each man grappling with the magnitude of what had happened then Thomas spoke again his voice strained With emotion Brian I can't even begin to express how disappointed I am in my daughter I'm so sorry I failed you both as a father I can't even imagine what you must be feeling right now but

I'll do everything I can to help you you also have to understand I love her with all my heart I always will I will tell her how disappointed I am when I see her but I will forgive her and my love for her won't change I don't love her because she's is perfect I love her because She's my daughter and that will never change Brian nodded I understand sir I didn't expect anything else so what are you going to do now Thomas asked his voice grave this situation is unbearable something needs to be done I

was hoping you could tell me what to do Brian replied feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on him Thomas stood up slowly take me home I need to sleep on this the atmosphere was heavy as they sat down to dinner barely Speaking a word to each other afterward they retired for the night but Thomas lay awake his mind racing with thoughts at 6:00 a.m. he got up and started preparing breakfast by the time Brian Rose an hour later everything was ready and they sat down together with coffee to talk as I see it

Thomas began your options are limited you don't know what Al Lander's thinking right now she may feel like she's lost herself completely and maybe you're feeling the same way What happened with her doesn't fit the person you knew it's not who she is but after 5 months she might have found a way to move past this she hasn't told you but maybe she's waiting for something neither of us can quite understand what I think is necessary now is some kind of test she'll either pass or fail either way you'll know where you stand Brian glanced

up a hint of uncertainty in his eyes do you think she's ready for something like that Thomas shook his head slowly I have no idea what kind of test are you talking about Brian asked his tone cautious Thomas paused clearly considering the best course of action well based on everything you've told me about Reigns I think he'd be quick to take advantage of a chance to get close to her again we need to set that up Brian's eyes widened in shock are you out of your mind Thomas that's the last thing I want you have

no idea how many Times I've imagined putting that fool 6 feet under I don't want her near him Thomas held up his hands understanding Brian's outrage I get it but the real issue here is not how you feel about him it's how allander will react if he comes back into the picture that's the key if she shuts him down we'll know it was just a mistake but if she doesn't well then you'll know there's something deeper at play and that's when you'll have to move on Brian thought for a Moment his jaw tight this is

risky as hell what if he tracks her down wek be watching her closely Thomas replied his voice steady I've hunted on five you're no slouch either we'll keep an eye on her and I'll make sure nothing happens if Reigns crosses the line I'll deal with it myself you focus on getting the message to him and I'll handle the rest two weeks later Peter Thompson and Reigns Parker sat across from each other in their camp Hey Reigns Peter said Casually do you remember that couple from a few months back allander and Brian Selen you remember right

they both bagged a moose and you were stuck with her for a while Pretty Woman huh Reigns didn't respond immediately just staring into the fire his thoughts distant the boss said they broke up Peter continued shame really they seem pretty solid together do you know anything about it At The Mention Of The Breakup Reign stiffened his face flushing Peter raised An eyebrow sensing something what's the matter ryes you've got something to do with it can you own up to it or do I have to spell it out for you you look guilty as hell Reigns's

temper flared say that again and I'll tear you apart he growled his fists clenching Peter chuckled Darkly you wouldn't last a minute just try it I'll put you down like a rabbit dog did you get her drunk Reigns she was cold and you saw an opportunity to warm her up what a piece Of work you are Reigns shot up from his seat his face rening in Fury but Peter calmly pulled out a pistol and aimed it at him no you sit down I'm leaving I won't work with creep like you maybe your old man doesn't

know what a monster he raised but I do I'm telling the boss everything with that Peter backed away the sound of his horse's Hooves echoing in the distance Reigns was left seething barely noticing as Peter disappeared all he could think about was allander she Was still at the Forefront of his mind her beauty her body pressed against his the sound of her voice the way she made him feel no woman had ever affected him the way she did he had to find her she would be his no matter what meanwhile allander was working in her

her cabin carefully crafting a long bow with intricate layers of bow sing wood Hickory backing and a dark wood belly it was a large 79 in Bow heavy but powerful she put every ounce of her skill into Making it both functional and beautiful and she was proud of the work she was doing a knock at the door interrupted her concentration she opened it to find Lars one of her neighbors standing there with a hopeful look on his face Lars was a free spirit someone she admired for his easygoing nature but who also had a tendency

to wear her patience thin with his persistent invitations hey allander Lar said smiling I was wondering if you wanted to Grab a bite to eat I'm busy Lars she replied flatly I'm working on the bow you've got to eat though Lars insisted his voice filled with friendly concern when aren't you working allander sigh frustration creeping into her tone why do you always ask me this look I like you all right you're a great guy I'm sure you don't have trouble getting dates so why do you keep asking me I'm always busy you've never seen me

with a man and you're not going to so stop Asking or we won't even stay friends lar started to protest but allander heard her phone ring upstairs I've got to take this she said quickly shutting the door in his face when alander checked her phone it went straight to voicemail the device was buried beneath the coat she'd worn earlier and the number showing up was unfamiliar a chill ran through her as soon as she recognized Reign's voice on the message hey alen He said I know I promised I wouldn't bother you again but I heard

that you and Brian aren't together anymore I'm really sorry if I had any part in that if you're not with him anymore I'd like to see you I don't know where you are but I have this number please call me I need to see you allander dropped the phone the memories rushing back all at once the raw intensity the confusion the pleasure and the pain everything came flooding back she winced a wave of shame And guilt washing over her as if the events had just happened the day before damn him she muttered under her breath

fighting against the surge of emotion she had been trying to get her life back on track and now this there was no way she was answering his call she'd already come to terms with the weakness she had felt before how her body had reacted to him in a way she couldn't explain but she knew she had to control it this time it was hard to Accept but deep down allander understood that there was something inside her a flaw in her character that she had to remain Vigilant about how she could lose control like that was

still a mystery but she knew now how to prevent it from happening again Reigns's interference was unwanted a threat to the fragile piece she had managed to build she returned to her bow her thoughts scattered as she brainstormed her next move a good night's sleep was the first Step and so with that in mind she went to bed determined to follow through with her plan the following morning alander woke up early ate a hearty breakfast and packed her car she drove through yak where she swapped her car for a rugged four-wheel drive truck in the

back she carefully placed the Longbow and a quiver of arrows the bow had a 30-in draw and the arrows were 2 in longer equipped with 125 grain Woodman Whitehead tips everything was packed Into cases and after checking that everything was in place allander headed Southeast toward Colorado meanwhile Brian and Thomas kept a close eye on her they tracked her for a week unsure of whether rains would make a move when they saw begin packing their hearts sank Brian with binoculars in hand observed her carefully he could make out a fishing rod in the back of

her car but he couldn't understand why she'd be taking it with her they followed her in A rented car alternating between sleeping and driving allander was moving quickly and when she stopped for a rest they parked a distance away and took turns catching some sleep after 10 hours she woke up and headed to McDonald's for breakfast this is becoming obvious Brian said his voice tinged with frustration she's heading straight to him Thomas Thomas sighed deeply I don't want to watch this I'm done quit being a coward Brian snapped grow some guts we're going To put

an end to this you're going to help me deal with that fool they were taken aback when allander suddenly turned off the highway and headed into the forest they watched her carefully as she hid the truck behind some bushes then pulled out a strange suitcase without missing a Beat Thomas packed up the camping gear they had brought grabbed his rifles and motioned for Brian to follow they trailed her into the woods it took two days to catch up And by the time they arrived at their destination there were no signs of Life allander moved cautiously

toward the campsite scanning the area it had clearly been used recently and she guessed that Peter and Reigns had left to investigate she approached the familiar path noticing the tracks of a horse and following them she stopped every so often to check the surroundings with binoculars after 5 miles she caught a whiff of smoke and continued to move Forward more alert than ever Brian and Thomas staying well out of sight knew she was tracking something and they silently closed the distance they watched as allander carefully removed her bow from its case and prepared an arrow

oh crap Brian whispered to Thomas she's going to shoot him they peered through the trees and saw rain sitting with his back against a large pine casually eating an apple they moved closer their hearts racing allander Keeping herself hidden took her time to position herself for a clean shot should we stop her Brian asked in a low voice his concern growing Thomas shook his head no this is her fight she needs to handle it her way allander Rose slowly steadying herself as she aimed Reigns unaware of her presence continued eating then the sharp sound of

the bow string being released cut through the air the first Arrow struck Reigns in the shoulder with brutal force sending a Wave of pain through his body before he could react the second Arrow hit him in the other shoulder and everything around him went black cold water splashed onto his face jolting him awake as he sputtered and gasped the Searing pain in his body made him winse but when his vision cleared he saw allander standing over him pouring bottled water on his head he winced trying to push himself up but the agony kept him pinned

to the ground hey Reigns she said softly her Eyes cold he barely managed to CR in reply his voice ragged yes she said offering him a sad almost pitying smile twice I'm going to eliminate you now he struggled to breathe his chest tightening what the hell's wrong with you he gasped you're really going to eliminate me her voice was calm almost attached yes as I promised you ruined my life Reus you broke me I helped you do it but I'm stronger now I'm moving on I'm taking Back control but you you won't let me you're

like a snake slithering through my garden always lurking always preventing me from becoming who I was again allender's expression grew colder as she continued for 6 hours I was that snake too but then I realized I'm not a snake I'm taking my life back but you you're about to lose yours Reigns locked eyes with her the weight of his impending end sinking in please he whispered barely able to get the words Out a voice suddenly interrupted from behind her I'm not sure I like the word connection used as a verb it said another blow to

allender's resolve seems like you've made that promise before it was a lie then and I have a feeling it's one Now allander quickly shifted rolling to the side when she stood her hand gripped a Sleek menacing 4 caliber pistol aimed directly at the man approaching her from behind Dad she exclaimed her voice full of shock what Are you doing here how did you find me she rushed to HIM Tears flooding her eyes as she buried her face in his coat I brought someone along he muttered his voice steady allander lifted her head and saw Brian

emerging from behind a large Rock oh God she sobbed her breath catching without a second thought she ran toward him her feet pounding the Earth beneath her every other thought vanished from Her Mind Brian was here she collapsed into his arms crying Uncontrollably are you going to shoot me he asked quietly glancing down at the tool pressed against his chest allander blinked realizing the weapon was still between them she hesitated for a moment then dropped it to the ground Brian offered her a sad Smile as she pulled away from him hey baby he said softly

this is one hell of a mess you've gotten yourself into what were you planning to do with him he nodded at Parker still unconscious nearby allander took a shaky Breath I was going to shoot him right between these two she said pointing to the center of her chest I can't let you do that Brian replied replied gently his voice firm what do we do now she asked her eyes full of uncertainty you two are going home Thomas spoke up his voice steady I'll handle the rest I'll be there in a couple of weeks will you

come allander asked her gaze flicking between her father and Brian a hint of Hope in her eyes Brian Nodded offering her a reassuring look I'll be there allander turned to her father her voice soft but determined come to konali we both need a break from everything Thomas nodded a small smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he watched his daughter and son-in-law walk into the forest wrapped in each other's arms the sounds of their voices faded as they disappeared deeper into the woods but Thomas remained still feeling a rare sense of Peace he

knew Things would work out they walked for nearly a mile before the sharp sound of two fire shots broke the quiet they exchanged a look Brian raised an eyebrow and allander side word ly they continue down the path toward the source of the noise [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
