1 The Beginning

I roll off the bed and hit the floor abruptly waking me up.

"*Dumbass.*" My wolf Cecilie howls out in laughter. My wolf and I are one and the same. She's the reason I can turn into a wolf, without her I wouldn't be a werewolf I'd be just a human.

"Bite me Cecilie," I grunt at her. My wolf is such an asshole.

"*Gladly E-deen, and I'm your asshole.*" She hisses my name and mentally flicks me off with her tail before going into the back of my mind.

Huffing I slowly stand up rubbing my ass where I had fallen and slowly walk over to my vanity mirror. My slender curvy frame, pale skin, and oval face are every teenage girl's dream, I could care less though. My long straight honey blonde hair that falls to the edge of my hips is a tangled mess. Groaning I carefully brush from the tips to the roots taking care not to brush too hard. I quickly throw my hair into a high ponytail with a small strand left out on both sides that carefully

fall in front of my ears.

I skip makeup, I am a werewolf after all and our skin is naturally clear so I don't see much of a use for it. After I finish my morning tasks, I pull out a gray tank top and sweatpants, quickly get changed. Today's Sunday which is a training day for our pack, The Moon Howlers. It starts at high noon leaving me roughly half an hour before it starts. Even though I'm eighteen I quickly surpassed my trainer and became the best fighter, so now it's my job to train the warriors.

I run downstairs into the kitchen and put a piece of toast in the toaster, push the dial down and impatiently wait for it to pop up. After several seconds it shoots up, the toast sparkling in all its toasted glory. I quickly snatch it and pop it into my mouth. Mmm the

delicious taste of toasted bread at 11:30 in the morning.

I head to the living room that is straight across from the kitchen and get my tennis shoes from beside the door. Shoving them on my feet and sticking the shoelaces into the sides I'm getting ready to go leave the house when my fathers voice booms through the pack link.

"**The packs under attack! Sebastian take all the women and children to the Moon Stalkers pack!**" The alpha, my father, yells through the pack link.

"**Yes, alpha.**" Sebastian obeys his order. Frantic thoughts from all the pack members come rushing through the link. I quickly shove them out of my mind, blocking their link and sprint outside. The sight I see is one of my worst nightmares.

At least 20 men holding guns stand in the wide forest opening. The once many houses that lined the edges of the trees now up in flames and vacant. The flames slowly spreading to the surrounding trees and grass. The men are shooting the wolves protecting the pack with silver bullets. Some bullets missing and ricocheting off the ground. Others that make contact injuring and killing others as it pierced their hearts. Howls of wolves both in pain from injuries or of some losing their mates fill the air already full of gunshots.

I shift ripping my clothing, the burn of my bones breaking and shifting into my wolf form barely noticeable. My solid silver wolf with a black circle around my left eye stands tall. My left eye shinning a blood red as my right eye shines a pale blue. I howl and rush into the battlefield and begin fighting.

"**Edeen! Fall back!**" My father's voice boomed through the pack link. I winced as he had used his alpha tone.

"**No! I'm one of the best fighters and I will not leave my pack to fight alone!**" The thought of abandoning my pack to go hide with the

wolves who couldn't fight hurt me. Why would I go cower in fear when I am perfectly capable of defending myself?

"**Do you have a death wish!? They're hunters and they will stop at nothing to kill us all Edeen. The packs not strong enough.**" He pauses, catching his breath as he fights off a hunter. He's right, our warrior amount only to 20 wolves. We'll easily get slaughtered when facing silver bullet baring hunters. But an alpha's duty is to keep his pack safe, and I am after all my father's daughter.

"**No! You can not use your alpha voice on me, I will not let my family get slaughtered!**" I plea in desperation. I don't want to run away with my tail tucked between my legs.

"**You need to go with them I will not let my only chil-"** he growls when gets cut off and I quickly look for fathers wolf, fear welling up inside my chest.

To the left of me, I see his solid black wolf fighting a hunter. He jumped onto the man and had snapped inches away from his neck ready to destroy this enemy who was harming his pack. I hear a gunshot as I see fathers wolf go flying backward as blood sprayed everywhere.

No! Pain in my chest as I feel the pack link fall apart. Sebastian the beta of the pack was next in line to be alpha if something happened. The pack link falling apart means no ones left to take over the pack.

My heart sinks as I realized something happened to the women, children, and Sebastian. The three other wolves left fighting must feel the pain as well and begin going rabid against them. We have

nothing left to lose as we have just become rogues after our pack was destroyed. I snarl and go on a bloody rampage taking down hunter after hunter ignoring the painful silver that enters my body sometimes not exiting. I catch sight of my next target, a man with short black hair, a strong build and tall. He smirks as he catches sight of my wolf noticing his my target.

I glance around noticing the last three wolves have been slaughtered, the pain and realization of being alone burning in my chest. I run towards the man howling as I go for the loss of my family, my pack. He smiled a wicked grin as I lunged at him. He rolled out of the way as another man shot me with a dart. I tried recovering and going back

after the foul man but the silver inside my body became too excruciating to ignore. Suddenly I became sleepy, refusing to fall asleep I drunkenly go toward the man. Weakly I raise my paw and go to scratch him, instead, I fall forward on my face and lay there. Defeated. Ready to accept death.

"She'll make a good addition. Take her away." Was all I heard before the darkness welcomed me.
