Chapter 1: New Territory

I had been walking for what seemed like days, all I knew was I was happy to be in a new place, a new state, just an overall different environment…

After finally coming of age after my 18th birthday a couple weeks ago, I packed up and left my latest foster home, I had been in about 6 of them over the past couple of years. I had been counting down until I would be free of all that, and the day had finally come and I set out to start my new life.

The sign I had passed a couple miles past read, "Welcome to Beacon Hills…" maybe this place could be my new home, but thats not the main reason I chose to come to this particular town, I came to get answers and I knew it wouldn't happen overnight.

As I continued walking, the warm night breeze brushed my back as well as ran through my curly, long black hair. The bag I carried stuffed to the rim of everything I owned was starting to take a toll on my arms, I stopped for a brief moment in an open forest that seemed to be abandoned but that wasn't the case.

The second I stopped, I smelled something, something unlike anything Ive ever smelled before. I knew there was a presence nearby that was greater than I was, I knew an alpha was near, and if anyone could help me on my quest for answers, then the alpha of this town could.

I followed the scent to a rundown, boarded up home that had look like it had fallen victim to a fire awhile back. I walked up to the front door slowly and carefully, I placed my bag down on the porch and hesitated, I wondered if I should even knock…

I instead pushed the door opened slowly, it creaked as I did. I took a few steps in and took a look around, it looked as if no one lived here as everything was covered in cobwebs, "maybe this isn't where the scent is coming from…" I thought to myself as I then tried to exit the house as quickly I had come in but just as I was about to, I heard a voice call out to me from atop of the staircase.

"What do you think your doing?" the male voice bellowed at me.

I slowly turned around on the heels of my boots to face this stranger whose home I had practically broken into. I lifted my head to catch a view of him but he was standing in the shadows so I was unable to see him fully.

"I, um, I didn't mean to just barge in but I was looking for someone…" I said.

"Oh really, and who might that be?" the voice asked as he took a few steps down and I was finally able to see his face then, he had striking features, dark hair, medium complexion, and icy blue eyes that shined in the darkness.

"You know what never mind, sorry about all this" I said wanting to spare myself anymore embarrassment.

"Wait, its not everyday some random girl takes it upon herself to invite herself into my home and then decide to leave, so tell what is your business here?" he asked more sternly this time.

I swallowed hard and rolled my eyes, "Okay, I'm looking for the alpha of this town…" I said lowly.

"The alpha? Do you even know what your talking about?" he asked as he came down fully and got closer to me.

"Oddly enough I do, I thought that he or she maybe lived here…" I said as I looked down.

"Who are you?" he asked me as he took in my form and eyed me up and down.

"I'm a beta werewolf, and I came here for answers for my own past and I thought the alpha could help me" I said.

"How do I know if what your saying is true?" he asked me again.

"Well the full moon is only a few days away, I guess you'll find out if I'm lying then, that is if I ever see you again…" I said and with that the stranger simply continued to look at me with his arms folded so I then turned to leave, I grabbed my bag from the porch and started to make my way back to the path I was on.

As I walked away from the house, I could feel his eyes following me, it almost felt as if his gaze was burning into the back of my head, he was watching me take every step, I turned back suddenly and saw that his blue eyes had become a dark crimson red…

The door then slammed shut abruptly and my view of him was cut off, "he is the alpha…" I thought to myself, at least I know where he lives.

About a half hour later, I arrived at my new home, at least for now, I had saved every penny I had ever made or had been given and put the money to good use and I was able to find a little place to rent for myself for the time being.

As I unpacked my things and got comfortable, I thought of the days ahead of me, I knew they weren't going to be easy, especially knowing no one in this place, but I made it this far and Im not going back to where I came from, ever…

I then allowed myself to drift off into sleep because before I knew it, I had to be awake to start my senior year at yet another brand new school, Beacon Hills High…

authors note: reviews will be much appreciated. In this chapter we met main character and narrator, Ella Becker. Ella is a beta werewolf who was born that way, who is 18 years old, has a tall and slender frame, hazel eyes and long black curly hair. She grew up in foster homes and had recently escaped that life and came to Beacon Hills to put together the pieces of her own past. There are plenty of secrets and revelations surrounding Ella's backstory, I can't wait to dive into it all and share it with you guys! We see Ella meet Derek, although she doesn't know his name yet, she knows he is an alpha, and their first meeting is the beginning of many, many more. In the next chapter, Ella will be starting her senior year at Beacon Hills and befriend some of our favorite characters and set the scene for one of the main conflicts of the story.
