Chapter 1
Five Years Later
A year after I left my pack, I found a small town just two hundred miles away that didn’t have a single wolf within miles of it. Two years after settling in Rollins, Montana I shifted. My wolf was pure black with ice blue eyes. I wasn’t a special wolf or anything, but to me my wolf was special. She was the spitting imagine of my father’s wolf except for the eyes. He had deep green eyes.
My mother’s wolf was a gray and white with silver eyes. Every day that passed, I missed them more and more. Aria was slowly starting to speak to me more and more. She was still mad at the fact that I ran from our mate, but she knew that I only did that because he hurt us.
The fifth year that I was in Rollins, something happened. A small pack moved into town, and I knew it was just a matter of time before they found me. It wouldn’t matter that I was here first, the pack now owned the land I was on, and by council law, it was theirs and I was just a rouge living on it.
But thanks to Aria, my wolf, I knew how to mask my scent. So to other wolves, I smelled like a human. If the pack found me, it would be the alpha’s place to decide what would happen to me. He could send me back to my pack, send me to the council, or kill me himself.
I would rather he send me to council or kill me. It’s not that I hated my pack, but everything and everyone there reminded me of the family I lost. The day after the pack moved in, I quit my job at the diner in town. I had the money I saved from the job, plus the thirty thousand that I brought with me. Slipping my apartment key into the drop box, I take my bag and make my way out of town.
I knew that I shouldn’t run again, but I didn’t want to want to be sent back to Evan at least not yet. The mate bond between wolves allowed the other to feel when their mate was in trouble, worried, in pain or when they were cheating. The pain started out as a dull ache in your heart, and most would think it was just heartburn. But as your mate and the other get more intimate, the pain would like a hot iron being shoved into your chest.
Over the past five years, that searing pain would increase to where I felt it almost every night. But not once did I cheat on Evan. I wasn’t that kind of woman. My mother had taught me that cheating on your mate was never acceptable, no matter what he or she had done. No matter what Evan did to me, I would not dishonor my mother’s memory by sleeping with another.
My father used to tell me a myth about the first werewolves. It was said that they had the ability to shift into any living thing they desired to. But as the years passed, they slowly lost that ability. But that’s not true. Since we were taught to think that we lost that part of us, no one tried to see if it couldn’t be done. With the help of Aria, I was able to shift into a four other animals: a dog, a cheetah, a tiger and a jaguar. I could make myself appear as a just a pup or as a full grown animal of each of them as well as my wolf.
Walking through the forest outside of town, I was met with several voices heading my way. Slipping into a small hidden cave, I made sure that my scent was hidden. As they came closer, I made sure that my heartbeat couldn’t be heard. “Alpha, the scouts were sure that only humans lived in this town. We didn’t catch any scent beside humans.”
“That’s good. We still need to stay hidden from sight until we manage to make this town one hundred percent ours. It would be a disaster for them if they were to find out the truth about us.” They come to a stop just right outside of where I was hiding. “There’s something else you should know sir.”
“And what’s that?”
“In town yesterday, several of the scouts noticed a woman about 22-23 that didn’t seem to belong. They asked around about her and they found out that she showed up five years ago. She was found just outside of town during a bad snow storm. A normal human would have froze to death…”
“And you believe that she’s a were?”
“Yes sir I do. I went to the apartment she was living in, but when I got there, she had already left. It could be that she’s a late shifter or she has an animal but can’t shift. Those are the only reasons I can think of as why she smells human.” The alpha laughs softly and I could hear Aria laughing as well. “You’ve over looked another reason.”
“And what would that be Alpha?” The man asked. I pegged him as either a guard or shield. “This young lady could be a shifter who is hiding from her mate or her pack. Our animals can teach us many things, including how to mask your scent. Tell the guards to keep an eye out for her and when they find her bring her to me. I’d like to see this woman.”
They move away and I let out a sigh of relief. As I moved to step out of my hiding place, Aria stopped me. Tina, they’ll be looking for you. We need to shift if we’re to get out of here without them finding us.
You’re right Aria. I’ll shift into a dog before leaving the cave. You’ll have to help block my mind if we run into any of the pack. Five years away from any of our kind is a long time. I picture myself shifting into a Shiloh Shepherd. Seconds later, I grabbed my bag between my teeth. Before stepping out of my hiding place, I made sure that my scent was that of a Shiloh Shepherd and that Aria was blocking my mind. I made it to the border without running into any guards, but before I could cross it, a deep threatening growl sounded behind me. Turning around, I watched as the alpha and several warriors and guards slipped out for the woods. This would be a tough one to get out off.
Chapter 3
The pack spent the next month getting ready for Evan’s arrival. Everyone that is except for me, I spent my time training both my human and wolf form. Allen helped me move the gym equipment back into the gym, and he had his two best warriors help me train. It was grueling and hard work, but I honestly loved it. Once the pack heard my story, though Allen edited most of it, they accepted me as well with open arms. Allen didn’t tell them that my ex-mate was Evan Woods.
The day before he was to arrive, I packed a couple of bags with everything I would need to last me a week. I made sure that Allen would make sure my scent was nowhere in the house once I left. Walking out of the door, I turned and faced Allen. “If you need me for anything, just holler. I’ll be here in seconds.” I jogged to my secret spot and started to unpack most of my things.
I had brought a huge sleeping blanket and a few blankets to place under it, along with my pillow. In my bag where clothes, shoes, my iPod, a sketch pad and several books as well as my hair brush, tooth brush and tooth paste. In the other bag was enough food to last a month, but considering how much we werewolves eat, by the time Evan and his men left, I’d be just about out of food.
That night, I didn’t sleep well. I was Allen’s best warrior, but the pack also saw me as his personal shield. The cover story he told the pack was that he sent me on a secret mission for him and that I would be back in a week or two. It was late that night when I went to sleep so I slept in. By the time I awoke, Evan and his warriors were just pulling into the pack yard. Listening to some of the conversations my pack was having, I could tell that he didn’t change.
A sudden idea climbs into my brain. An idea that Allen would call reckless started to flash before my eyes. Picturing a small bird in my mind, I felt my body shift smaller and smaller until I was a sparrow. It took me two hours to get used to the new form, and another two hours to get the hang of flying. Making sure my scent was hidden; I flew out of the cave and started towards the pack house. I wanted to see him just once; mainly for Aria than myself. It was just a five minute flight instead of the thirty minute jog back to the house and I loved it. Aria wasn’t too keen about the distance from us to the ground however.
Landing on a tree pretty close to the house, I scan the crowd for Evan. The leaves on the branch hid me well, but I had a good line of sight. When we finally spotted him, Aria yipped with happiness, but she stopped the second we saw the femme on his arm. It was the she-wolf that bore his mark, the mark that should have been mine. She was beautiful, there was no denying that. Deciding that we’d seen enough, I take off heading back to my cave. He had chosen who he wanted by his side as his mate and Luna, and I wasn’t going to try and change that. It was his choice after all, and he didn’t choose me.
As I flew back towards the cave, three figures caught my eyes. Rouges! And they were trying to sneak onto our land. Glancing around, I couldn’t see any guards around. Sighing softly, I fly into the forest and shift into my wolf. Racing towards them, I wait until the first one crossed the border before attacking them. They weren’t much of fighters, but they didn’t give up easily. But still, within minutes the first two were dead. The third rouge was tougher. We fought hard, dealing blow after blow, bite after bite. He finally made a mistake and I lunged, snapping his neck in two. Throwing their bodies back across the border, I start to walk back to the cave.
I didn’t realize I had lost a good amount of blood by the time I slipped into my temporary home. Once I found my first aid kit, I cleaned my wounds the best I could and then climbed into my sleeping bag. The last thought I had before I lost all thought was that I should have showed Allen where I planned on staying just in case something happened to me.
In the back of my mind, I could hear Allen’s voice yelling. He sounded so scared and worried, but for some reason, I didn’t have enough strength to answer him. Once in a while I could make out my name in the pack chatter, but again I was too weak to answer them. I could feel both Aria and myself fighting whatever was wrong with us, but we seemed to be losing the battle.
The darker it became around me, the weaker I seemed to be able to fight. The voices of my pack became farther and farther from me until I almost couldn’t hear them. There were times that I wanted to stop fighting and give up to the darkness completely, but Aria wouldn’t let me. As I walked through the darkness, I spotted an open field before me. Stumbling into it, I froze when I saw both Allen and Evan facing each other. I watched as they both shifted to their wolves and started to circle each other.
As they lunged at each other, they disappear. Confused, I look around until I see a woman standing in the distance. Running towards her, I gasped as I got closer. “Mom?” She turns around and smiles at me. “Ah, my dear Tina. I’ve missed you so much.” She wraps her arms around me and I hear myself crying. “Alpha should have let me fight with you and dad. If I was there, then I would have been able to protect both of y’all. I wouldn’t be left alone.”
“Shh, baby girl. It’s not your fault. It was just our time to go. If Woods would have allowed you to fight that day, you would have been killed as well. Then you wouldn’t have met your mate.”
“Mom, I think I’d rather be with you and dad. My mate rejected me because I didn’t shift when everyone else did. He cheated almost every night and he finally marked someone else. What do I have to live for now? Allen and his pack took me in and their almost like family. I want what you and dad had, but there’s no chance now.” Mom sighs softly and looks down at me.
“Tina, I want you to listen to me and listen well. You were meant to be a warrior. I know you had your heart set on taking your father’s place as Beta when he stepped down, but deep down inside of you, you knew that you place was with the fighters. That’s why you excelled in the training. And your mate shouldn’t have rejected you. Everyone has their off moments, and losing us was yours. Who is he, your mate?”
“Evan.” I answer softly, turning my eyes to the ground. My mom lets out a happy squeal, but it stops after a few seconds. “You’re the future Luna of the Newmoon Pack. I’m so happy for you.” Stepping backwards I look at my mom. “I was the future Luna Mom. But not anymore, not since he rejected me, marked and mated another.”
“You accepted his rejection?” I could hear the disbelief in her voice. Mom and Dad raised me to think that rejecting your mate was the worst thing to do. She was wrong. Rejecting them and then cheating continuously was the worst thing you could do to your mate. “Yes I did. If I hadn’t accepted his rejection, I would have died the moment he chose another as his mate.”
“I’m sorry Tina, I really am. Your father and I always thought that would never happen to our little girl.” Seeing the sadden look in my mother’s eyes almost broke my heart again. “Don’t worry about it Mom. I’m fine now. Aria and I saw him with his new mate and he looked happy. That’s all that matters to us…So, where are we?”
“This,” my mom says gesturing around us,” Is Limbo. You’re halfway between death and life. You must fight Tina, you must live. It isn’t your time to die just yet. Your pack’s on the way to get you right now. Just keep fighting until they get to you.” With that my mother disappeared and I was left in the darkness. But I noticed that the voices of my pack were once again sounding louder. They were coming for me, but would they reach me in time to save me?
