1 Chapter 1 - A Secret

Some people say with great power comes great responsibility. Well, I guess those people didn't know that with great power comes pain and suffering. I've lost everyone I care about because of the 'oh so great power' I have. You see, I'm the only living female Lycon in existence. Packs and male Lycons have tried to catch me but they always fail. However, what they have succeeded in, is killing everyone I hold most dear.

##################################

That was 5 years ago. Now I've learned how to hide my scent so wolves and Lycons alike think I'm a plain werewolf. It's better like this. No one can get hurt this way. It's been quiet lately... Too quiet if you ask me. I plait my hair to the side in record time already feeling the pressure of getting out of this town in set time. I yawn before shoving my black hoodie over my head, pulling my plait out of the hole, and letting it drop. I grab the only bag I brought with me and make my way down to reception. I wince as the floorboards feel like they are going to give out from under me. However, I continue to walk trying not to think about how run down this hotel is and the whole town.

"Miss Fredrico, leaving so soon?" the old lady who I've gotten to like comments. "Unfortunately, yes. My mom called to inform me that she has gotten herself into an accident so I am heading back home to stay with her until she gets back to full strength" I lie easily. I have become a pro at lying and I'm still not sure if it's a good thing or not.

"Oh, that's dreadful. All the best to you and your mother. I hope she gets better soon" the old woman says and I smile kindly as I sign out on the book and hand her the room key.

"Thank you" I reply before I exit the hotel.

I exit into the night air and stretch before sighing. I make my way over to the bus stop across the road. It will be quicker to take the bus than to run my way to where my betas are waiting. The bus finally turns the corner and I stand getting ready to put my arm out. However just as I'm about to put my arm out I hear a terrified girl screaming for help in the forest.

"NO, Get Off Of Me! Don't Do This Please!" I hear the same voice scream out and I instantly abandon the bus and run into the forest directly to where the voice resonated from. What I see disgusts me. Three male rouges are pinning a girl to the ground and are ripping her clothes off of her. One even goes far as to cut her on the leg when she doesn't stop struggling. I growl alerting them that I am close by, just before I enter the clearing, showing myself.

"Oh look, another booty call," the same rogue who cut the girl's leg says and it annoys me to no end. He dies first, I conclude. However, all I do is raise my eyebrows at them. "Didn't your mother ever teach you how to treat a lady? If she did this certainly isn't the way. Oh, and your language is fowl by the way" I speak watching as they take in my words and try to figure out if I am a threat to them. Finally, after what seems like several hours, they make a decision each. And what is their decision... That I am a threat. Why does everyone always concluded that I am a threat to them? They all growl before launching themselves at me. I sigh and dodge them before I turn and get into my fighting position. Male werewolves. What a joke. So what if they have high levels of testosterone, no girl or boy for that matter should ever have to experience rape. They launch themselves at me once more so I dodge the first, claw the second one in the stomach, and clutch the guy who spoke vulgar about me by the throat.

"No one no matter what gender should be forced to have sex" I advise before ripping his throat out. I hear the other two growl as the guy falls to the ground dead. I tilt my head to the side as I turn to look at them.

"You really think that scares me?" I ask them. I let them get in a few punches so it looks like I am a regular werewolf before I rip the second one's throat out. Which leaves the leader. He storms towards me growling and I frown. Didn't I already tell him that growling doesn't scare me... Oh! No, I asked him if he thought that it scared me. He must think it does.

"Dude, shut up!" I reply to his growl while rolling my eyes, before ripping his throat out as well leaving me covered in blood. I sigh looking down at myself. Looks like I will have to change and clean myself up before I find where my betas are waiting. I look towards the girl as she whimpers and my eyes soften. I walk cautiously towards her, holding my hands up to show I am not going to harm her.

"Are you okay?" I ask as I crouch down beside her.

"They...they" she sobs out. She suddenly cuddles me making me tense but I soon wrap my arms around her strangely feeling a bond with her. I give her a once over and notice along with the cut on her leg she also has a busted lip.

"How about I find us a stream and we can clean up. You can change into some of my clothes. They should fit you. We are round about the same size" I say gently to her. She nods before getting up hissing in pain as she puts her weight on the leg with the cut. We both then start walking.

"So how did you learn to fight?" the girl suddenly asks making me chuckle. The girl looks at me confused.

"Anyone else would have asked for my name first but you strangely ask how did I learn to fight. You're different... I like it. To answer your question... My parents and before you ask they are both dead" I explain before raising my nose in the air and sniffing my surroundings. There has got to be a stream or a pond or a lake somewhere around here.

"I'm sorry... Can you teach me how to fight?" she asks. I nod continuing to search for water.

"Sure. My name's Diana Fredrico by the way" I answer as I finally smell the scent of water and turn in the direction of it. I sit at the edge of the stream after taking off my clothes and washing them. I watch as the girl wades into the water and starts cleaning the cut on her leg. I sigh and clean up before putting some more clothes on and places some out for the girl. I watch her silently as she watches her cut heal.

"Mia Andrews" the girl or should I say Mia introduces herself.

"How long have you been a rouge Mia?" I ask her as I stand and stretch in the night air.

"Ten days. My al- my ex-alpha kicked me out because I fought with the pack slut who he was f**king" Mia growls and I smirk. She has a strong spirit inside of her.

"Some packs are pathetic. I've been a rouge since I was ten" I blurt out. I sigh but decide to explain more to her.

"Before that, my parents and a few other rogues lived as part of a pack. I'm not sure if that pack even exists now".

"How have you survived out here by yourself for so long?" she asks an I smirk.

"Who says I'm alone" I whisper out. she looks over at me confused but I shake my head smirking while I pass her the clothes. She thanks me as she puts them on.

"Anyways... my dad was overprotective of me and made me learn all sorts of survival techniques" I explain as I grab my bag and place it over my shoulder. I then start to head back into the woods in the direction where my betas are. Mia follows me. I look over at her and raise my eyebrows at her.

"Do you mind if I tag along? I don't feel safe out here all alone. You somehow make me feel safe" she whispers to me. I smile and feel her mind link to me and I instantly know who she is to me but it's impossible to two of them. She's my destined sister. Apparently, I have two now. I hear Mia gasp and smirk towards her.

"What just happened?" she asks me and I smirk at her.

"You've just joined my pack" I reply to her as I carry on walking.

-That has never been heard of before though- I hear in my head and chuckle.

"You just heard what I thought didn't you?" Mia asks and I chuckle as I nod.

"So what are your parents like?" I ask her as we walk.

"They are or should I say were great. They both are dead as well. Mine died at different times... My mum died giving birth to my little brother, Daniel and my dad died when I was fourteen while he was protecting the pack from rogues. We were left in the care of our aunt. Who so happens to be the mother of the pack slut, Daphne" she explains and I hear the disgust in her voice. She must really hate this Daphne person.

"My parents died protecting me from a pack" I whisper out but she obviously heard me since she asks

"Why would a pack attack you though?". She's confused I can hear it in her voice.

"Well, I guess since you are now in my pack I should tell you...but you can't tell anyone else okay for both mine, yours, and the pack's safety," I say to her. She nods her head signalling she understands and I sigh before explaining to her.

"I'm the last female Lycon," I say looking her directly in the eyes. Her mouth drops open as her eyes widen.

"L-L-L-Last female Lycon... But how come I can't smell your Lycon side at all?" she asks and I smile sadly.

"Unfortunately through the years some packs have somehow found out about me and have tried to catch me so I learned how to hide that part of me or at least the scent of it... if I get really angry, I lose control and my eyes turn red signalling my Lycon is in control" I explain to her. She smiles before she starts to skip ahead of me while humming a tune. I smile and look down at the locket my mother gave to me. I smile as her last words ring in my mind...

***MEMORY***

"Please Dia, packs aren't made out of rocks and stone they are made out of the love and support that the people in the pack bring and the kindness that comes with it. You will find your destined sister and your pack sisters and brothers. I'm sure of it. Promise me that you wont allow us dying to change who you are. Promise me Diana" mother says as she lies on the ground clutching my hand.

"Please momma, don't leave me here alone. I can't live without you" I beg her.

"Listen to me, Dia. Every Lycon has a destined sister. You will find her when she is hurt or in dire need of help. After that, an indestructible bond will form between you both and you will be inseparable. I will always be with you in your heart and in your dreams. Now promise me you won't let this change you" my mother says.

***MEMORY END***

"I promise momma" I whisper to the wind. I suddenly feel panic run through the bond I share with Mia. I run following her scent and see her cornered by two wolves I instantly recognise. My betas. I smile before speaking into our mind link.

-Niyah, James. It's okay, she's with me- They both stop growling and turn to me shifting. They then both storm towards me after putting some clothes on making me roll my eyes.

"We were worried when the bus showed up and you didn't get off. What took you so long?" Niyah asks while she cuddles me.

"I found Mia about to be raped by three male rouges. So I forgot about the bus and saved her" I explain while helping Mia up off of the ground.

"Mia, I would like you to meet my beta pair. James and Niyah. Niyah is also my destined sister" I introduce them.

"Hi," Mia says timidly.

"Ummm, What's a destined sister?" She then asks.

"I'm assuming she told you about being the last female Lycon...." Niyah says and when Mia nods confirming her suspicion she carries on,

"Well... Every Lycon has one-" I cut Niyah off there.

"I think I have two. Remember when our bond formed. The same thing just happened with Mia" I say. Expecting Niyah to go on a rant I get ready to calm her down. However, she doesn't do what I was expecting at all. She cuddles Mia while saying

"That's awesome now I don't have to make sure you stay alive all on my lonesome anymore". I roll my eyes at her. I smile at Mia who stands confused.

"Destined sisters are sisters who aren't bound by blood but by their souls. I guess another name for destined sister could be soul sisters. Lycons find their destined sister when they are hurt or in dire need of help. It's how I found Niyah and how I found you" I explain to her. I look towards James as he runs back over to me. I didn't even realise he had left.

"Guys we have pack patrol in t-minus twenty seconds. We better start heading in the opposite direction" he says as he helps Niyah off of the ground since somehow we all sat on the ground during my explanation. I stand and help Mia up before we all quickly turn and I lead them away from pack patrol.
