"I gotta get outta here, I can't ever go back." I kept telling myself as I ran as fast as I could with no destination. I was exiled, kicked out, whatever you wanna call it. My friend, my brother, my alpha kicked me out of the pack. Maybe it was because of my different views of how to run a pack? Surely a beta like me couldn't make any changes to pack law. It was tradition, passed from generation to generation and no one ever dared to question any of our ancestors' laws.

"What do you think you're doing here, Princess Taylor?"

I know that voice, that spine chilling voice that could only come from one wolf. It was Jared.

"You of all people should know not to travel on another packs territory, am I right Tay? He said mockingly. His teeth bared, black fur and yellow eyes set on my white figure.

Our packs are blood rivals. It has been like this for generations. The Northern pack are more vicious and are known for their ruthless killing. While the Southern pack are rule stricken but keep to ourselves. At one point our alpha; Sam's grandfather tried joining the packs in hopes of having larger territory. But the pack leaders soon realize that it was a horrible mistake. Blood had been shed and numerous amounts of wolves had been killed.

"I don't mean any harm Jared. I'm just passing through." I said while backing up slowly, ready to run if necessary.

"Oh! Where are you headed? A wolf as pretty as yourself shouldn't be out by herself all alone! He said while slowly walking towards me.

"I-Im on the way to the Eastern pack to send a message from my alpha!" I soon realized I couldn't escape. Jared had made me back up against a rock wall. Jared soon pinned me so I had no way of escaping. His black face was soon all I could see.

"Why would your pathetic alpha wanna send a message to those stupid eastern wolves? He chuckled while whispering in my ear. "You know I've been thinking. Why would your leader send a beta to do another alphas job? Well, looks like you really are alone aren't you Princess?

I pushed him off with all of my strength willing to do whatever it takes to get away from this monster. I growled, teeth bared and claws ready to fight.

"Oh, you really shouldn't have done that! He said.

His black body lunged towards me and soon had me pinned against the snow-covered ground. He growled and was about to bite me but I bite his chest and clawed his stomach. He growled even louder and hit me in the face with his paw. I could feel the warm blood trickling down my snow-white fur onto the now blood stained ground. Anger boiled in me and I ran and bit him on the neck thrashing wildly letting my inner beast take charge. He soon had blood all over him and a nasty gash in his neck. He clawed me and bit me on my leg causing me to limp. He had an advantage and bit my neck. It felt like someone was taking the life from me. I tried standing but everything was a blur all I could hear is his laughter and the smell of my blood.


I soon woke up to the sound of wolves howling. Am I dead? Is this the after-life like my grandparents told me when I was a cub? I couldn't see anything but something smelt amazing!

"Dad! I think she's waking up!" An unfamiliar voice exclaimed.

"Back off Ryan! Ms.? Are you awake?" A powerful, assertive voice asked.

I soon found the strength to open my eyes. It look me a second to adjust to my surroundings. I was in a den. And was soon surrounded by wolves. One wolf especially had a very concern look on his face.

"Oh thank goodness your awake dear!" A brown she-wolf with purple eyes said.

"Where am I?" I asked

"You're in the valley. We are a little pack not really known with the bigger packs. We like to keep to ourselves and we move constantly. You're lucky I found you when I was hunting! You were hurt very badly." the assertive gray wold, who i guess is the leader said.

"I convinced him to let you stay with us until you got better." the she-wolf added

"Thank-you sir for saving me! I'm very grateful" I said while trying to stand but fell.

"I wouldn't try walking on that leg if I were you. It's still healing" A reddish-brown wolf with green eyes told me.

"If you don't mind me asking but what is your name?

"My name is Ryan, and you are?" the red-brown wolf who looked to be around my age asked.

"I'm Pri-, im Kristen"

"Well, It's my pleasure to meet you Ms. Kristen" He said with a smile on his face. "These are my parents, Peter and Nicole"

"Pleasure to meet you both!" I said politely.

"Your more than welcome to come eat," Peter said

Nicole brought me some food so i wouldn't have to get up. I felt like I haven't eaten in ages!

"Whoa! Slow down tiger!" Ryan laughed.

"I would be the same If I've been passed out for 3 days" Peter said.

"I've been asleep for 3 whole days?!" I exclaimed.

"Yes Dear, you have been badly injured. If you don't mind me asking but how did that happen? Nicole asked.

"I got ambushed by a Northern Wolf. I'm lucky I got out alive." I said

"A Northern Wolf! You must be a good fighter then!" Peter said.

"I was willing to do whatever it took to get away from him"

"Sir! There are enemy wolves at the eastern border!" A sandy colored wolf said running into the den.

Thank-you Seth! If you will excuse me." Peter said before heading out with Seth tagging along.

"Mom, I'm gonna go too!" Ryan said.

"O.k but please be careful! I love you son" Nicole said before Ryan looked at me and ran outside to find his father.
