45

That's been my pathetic little life for years. Ha, you can say it's been one hell of a ride.

I slowed down to a trot as I realized I'd ran into another packs territory. My body was on high alert as I took in the smell of this pack. They smelled like pine wood and musk. I wrinkled my snout as I took in their pungent aroma.

Turn back into a human now. Lark said and I shifted quickly. I took off my pack which had been on my back the whole time and pulled out a shirt and shorts. I slipped them on.

My legs were a bit sore as I walked onward. I stopped dead in my tracks when I felt eyes on me. I tensed and tried to shake the felling off of me but I couldn't and I felt my skin crawl. I looked around for a few moments and heard a growl.

How's it going?

Poor Alex...

31

Oh just great. I turned and looked around as I heard the snapping of twigs. I took a deep breath and stared out into the darkness.

"Who are you?" A growl rose up and I snarled back. I could understand them as a human.

"The name's Alex dogs, I don't want any trouble." I said in my flat voice. I hated when wolves tried to act all tough when they found you on their territory. It was very annoying so of course I had to say something back. I smiled inwardly as they growled. There was at least six of them hiding in the darkness.

"Watch your mouth." A growl warned me and I scoffed. Bitch I'm not in the damn mood for this shit.

I rolled my eyes and face palmed.

"Rouge what are you doing here?" Someone growled as I brought my hand down. What the hell is their problem?

"My name's Alex not rouge. If you must know I'm just passing through. I'm just trying to get away from here. Now if you'll excuse me." I spat turning away from them and starting to walk.

"Stop right there!" A menacing snarl filled the air and I wrinkled my nose.

I turned to see a large black wolf with stunning yellow eyes stalking out of the dark. He stood tall and high and his muscles rippled under his fine coat. I automatically knew he was the alpha.

He gave me a warning growl as I met his eyes but I didn't flinch or cower. I never backed down. Well not all the time. He snarled and I saw his pack mates bow their heads in submission but I stood tall. I think I saw confusion and surprise flicker in his eyes before anger took over them. Something else was boiling in his gaze but I couldn't name it.

"You mad?" I asked with a smirk. It widened when the other wolves growled at me for disrespecting their alpha. I looked around. Yep there were six of them. Knew it; I mentally high-fived myself.

"Be quiet! Come on take her to the house now." The alpha snarled and soon I was surrounded by five wolves. The alpha got in front and they escorted me deeper into their territory.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at all worried. My heart was pounding against my chest and I itched to run away but I couldn't because the wolves were flanking me.

Their house was huge. A gaped at the large beautiful mansion- well like bigger than a mansion. I don't know how to explain it really but it's a big fucking house. Like the size of a football stadium- okay maybe not that big but the thing is monstrous!

I shake my head softly as they pause outside of the house. I look at them hesitantly, actually kind of fearful, but I was great at hiding my emotions when I wanted to. I stood tall as the alpha trotted towards me. Even in wolf form his big head was level with mine. That's one thing I hated about alphas; their all so fucking big it's annoying as hell.

I'd never been in my wolf beside an alpha. To be honest I don't even know how big my wolf is compared to others now.

Lark you there? I asked myself.

Always. Came her quiet reply. I nodded.

What are we going to do? I asked softly at a loss.

I don't know... Future Moon Goddess. Lark said the last part in a teasing voice. It became a little joke to us. I'd found out what the Moon Goddess was a long time ago but I didn't want to be her. Nothing's happened to me really besides the fact I've been sold around. Luckily no ones suspected me of being her though. Why would they? The current Moon Goddess was alive and well. I was next in line apparently.

That gives us power. Lark said with pride. What power? I almost chocked when she said it.

We can control more than an alpha but as of now it's like we are an alpha just not one, do you get it? Lark's voice said softly. I tensed.

You're telling me we have a fucking alpha power? AND. YOU. NEVER. TOLD. ME?! What the fuck Lark! I screamed in my head.

I only found out earlier as you ran into them the Moon Goddess told me that's why we didn't back down. We are like another alpha but stronger in a way. Came Lark's apologetic response. I nodded slowly.

But we must keep it a secret for now Alex. We must for now. I nodded at what Lark said. I wasn't going to tell anyway. Why would I?

"...lex! Rouge we're talking to you!" I snapped out of my thoughts and growled. I looked around and saw that the wolves had shifted into their humans and we're all dressed.

Thank God because I didn't want to see any of their damn bare naked asses. I wrinkled my nose at the thought.

"Don't call me a rouge. You don't even know me." I snarled to all of them not sure which one said the comment.

A guy with blonde choppy hair snorted and I glared at him as he said, "Well you weren't listening and you don't tell us what to do you're on our territory." I looked into his bright blue eyes and looked him over. So this is the guy who said it? He was a good looking guy and I smirked feeling like messing with him.

"Whatever Ken, where's Barbie when you need her?" I said grinning at the offended look flooding over his features. His face turned red. He took a step toward me.
