Prologue:

DACIANA: Romanian name derived from Roman Dacia, the name for the region that is today Moldova and Romania. According to Strabo, the Dacians were originally known as the daoi, from Phrygian daos, meaning, "wolf."

This story is told through the eyes of Jacob and Daciana.

Jacob lost himself for 2 years after Breaking Dawn. He fought his imprint on Renesmee and went AWOL, living as a wolf. The story begins with him returning to La Push.

Daciana is also a shape shifter. She lives in Romania and is the daughter of her clans Alpha. Unlike the Quileute's, her clan can shift into any animal they wish, however, most prefer wolves. Before she was born, the clans dream walker (Psychic), prophesized that Daciana would be given to a Native American tribe, to form an alliance against the Volturi.

And so it begins…

Jacob:

I had lost track of time, I couldn't have told you the day if my life depended on it.

My last memory as a human was running. Running from those big brown eyes, it made me sick still to think of it. I loved Bella so much and to see her being torn apart by that monster, it was too much to bear.

But when I saw those eyes, I had felt the pull. The wolf had wanted nothing more than to stay and be with her. But I could not, I couldn't love something that had taken my Bells away from me.

I didn't know where I was, but days ago, when I woke, something changed in me. I didn't feel so connected to Renesmee. I didn't feel the sick urgency to go to her, I could think a little more clearly. I started to think human thoughts again.

Now I felt a different kind of urgency, I needed to go home, to my pack and my family. The pull was nearly as strong as the imprint had been.

I didn't really know what I was doing but yesterday, I started the journey home. I travelled through the night, not even stopping to eat.

Now, I stood in front of a little red house. My house. My dad's house. I was scared, I hadn't been human in a long time, I hadn't even used my brain to think properly, my mind felt hazy. My only thoughts had been purely animalistic, that of food, shelter and occasionally sex.

I walked up to the house, in wolf form and sniffed out the perimeter and that's when I heard it.

"Jacob?"

"Jacob Black is that you?"

The angry voice in my head belonged to Leah. Thoughts of me abandoning her and Seth were running through my head, but I felt nothing. No guilt, no remorse. I simply did not care. I quickly turned my head to see Leah approaching me, from the forest. She wanted to fight.

'I could kill her quite easily.'

"Give it your best shot."

I was amused, she was no match for me.

"Leah…don't. Jacob is not himself."

I laughed inwardly, Sam, still thinking he knows best. I was more interested in fighting him, I would not be ordered around. I am the Alpha. Not today though. I lifted my head and howled long and hard, letting all the pack know I was back. I didn't stay, I ran past Leah, fighting the urge to stop and smell her.

"Run…run away again you chicken shit!"

Leah's voice screamed in my head, it made me cringe. She was in a lot of pain.

I had stayed hidden from the pack for two days, even though they were very close. I was amused, that they couldn't hear my thoughts. Maybe, because I had been alone for so long now, I was a one-man wolf pack. Sam had them hunting for me day and night, but they never got close.

The packs thoughts were interesting enough. Leah, Seth, Quil and Embry were angry with me for abandoning them. They went back to Sam when they realised I was not coming back. Even though they were mad, they were glad I was here.

Everyone had wondered the same thing though. If I was going to start my own pack again. Surprisingly, Jared and Paul have grown tired of Sam, this made me laugh. It was the perfect time for a take over.

I had been wondering when the right time to appear would be when I heard Leah.

"Jacob, I know you are out there! There is a council meeting…tonight. Your dad wants you to come!"

Interesting. I couldn't question Leah because she phased, obviously she didn't want everyone else to know what she had told me.

That night, I watched as the pack and council members arrived at my dad's house. They all sat around a fire in the back yard, just like they used too. Sam arrived, walked over to the fire and took his place. I growled, he was sitting in my seat.

I phased and fell to my knees immediately, not used to standing on my two legs. My hair was long, to my shoulders and I had facial hair. My body was more muscular and I felt taller. I stood and took a few tentative steps.

'Not too bad.'

I started walking towards the fire, naked as the day I had been born.

Everyone lifted their heads to look at me as I approached them, Sam growled and stood.

"Jacob!" My dad cried.

I ignored everyone and walked straight to him, kneeling in front of his wheel chair. Dad grabbed me and pulled me to him. It felt almost wrong, I had forgot how to be affectionate.

"Where have you been son? I have been so worried."

I looked at his tired face, he had aged considerable since I had been gone.

I opened my mouth to talk but my voice was choked and harsh. I cleared my throat and tried again.

"I don't know. I am back now."

My voice was different, husky and deep.

"Oh son." Dad said wrapping his arms around my head.

Sue Clearwater stood, and walked towards me with a blanket. She draped it over my back and I stood pulling it around me. I took a seat beside my dad, and looked over each member of the pack carefully, daring him or her to say something.

Old Quil was the first to speak.

"Jacob we are glad you are back. This is the reason we have called you all here."

"So you are planning on welcoming him back? Well not while I am Alpha." Sam growled moving towards me.

"Sam. Not another step. This is a council meeting, you have no authority here, tonight."

I looked at Sue, Dad, Old Quil and Una. Una didn't usually come to meeting unless it was important, she was very old and the wisest of the tribe.

'Wonder why she is here.'

"Jacob, are you in a right mind? Did you stay as a wolf the whole two years?" Sue asked.

"Two years?"

"Yes, two years, we searched for you for so long." Leah exclaimed.

"I was lost, let the wolf take over. I would not be tied to a blood sucker." I growled at Leah.

I knew they wanted more from me, a better explanation, but I just couldn't give it to them.

Una cleared her throat.

"We are not the only shape shifters, there are many more tribes and clans. I have foreseen that the time will come soon, when we will need to unite. To fight against the growing vampire threat."

Old Quil spoke next.

"Jacob, we are glad you have come home, the pack needs you. Though we can all sense that you are not the same. You are more animal than human. We will meet at the next full moon, the Alpha will be decided then."

The pack erupted then. The younger boys, Paul and Jared were yelling in Sam's defence.

"I am the Alpha, he will not take it from me." Sam screamed from across the fire, he was close to phasing. I smirked knowing he couldn't control himself.

Paul began to drag Sam away and Jared helped. The others began to follow them, all except Leah, Quil, Embry, Seth and Brady. It was silent for at least 5 minutes after Sam had left.

"You better not leave us again Jake." Embry said standing up.

"I will find you and kill you." Leah added dramatically.

I didn't say anything I just nodded to them.

"Jacob, you need to concentrate on finding some humanity, you are not an animal son." Dad said reaching out to touch my shoulder, I winced and pulled away. I needed to run, I had enough for one night.

"You should try not to phase tonight Jacob." Old Quil offered like he had read my mind.

'Easier said then done.'

"Jacob?" Una said.

I moved my eyes to her and she stared straight at me.

"You need to unite the pack, find a way to control the wolf."

She had read my mind too and with that she stood and motioned to Sue, who stood and helped her as they walked away.

"Are you hungry?" Dad asked.

I nodded.

"Okay then, lets go eat."

The thought of human food did excite me, something cooked, that I didn't have to catch myself.

Quil walked up behind me and slapped me playfully on the back, I reacted though, before I could even think to stop myself. I grabbed him and shoved him to the ground. I came down hard on top of him. My eyes darted around, looking for more threats.

"Jake, calm down. Its just us, we are not going to hurt you." Seth said stepping forward.

I focused my eyes on Quil and pushed myself off him, I sat on the ground bringing my knees up. It scared me, I did not have feelings towards any of these people.

"Jake come on man, let's go eat." Embry said, he didn't touch me, he just waited till I stood, wrapping the blanket around me again.

I didn't deserve their kindness, but I was thankful for it.

We all sat around my dad's kitchen in silence, everyone watched while I scoffed down the food.

"More?" I grunted at dad.

His eyes widened as he filled my plate again. I ate three plates of spaghetti all up and then stood, everyone looked at me. Waiting for me to do something.

"Shower." I said as I walked down the hall towards the bathroom.

I could hear them talking about me, I didn't care though. I found a razor and carefully shaved, I cut myself a few times. I liked my hair long; I would leave it like that for a while.

I stood in the shower for a long time, letting the hot water run over me. I got out reluctantly and dried myself, wrapping the towel around my waist. I walked to my old room to find it unchanged. I looked at my set of draws and pulled the top one open, I sniffed at the clothes. They smelt musty. I would sleep naked, the idea of wearing clothes again made me feel claustrophobic.

I didn't bother going back out to everyone in the kitchen. I pulled back the covers on my bed and lay down. I pulled the blanket up around me covering my naked body. I closed my eyes and started breathing in the different smells. I fell asleep easily, I woke 3 times, when dad would come into check on me. I knew that he was worried that I would disappear.

It took all my strength not to jump out the window and disappear again.

Daciana:

I cried softly to myself, I had the covers of my bed wrapped tightly around me.

"Ana?" Natalya asked softly.

"Yes?"

I sat up wiping my face and throwing the covers off me. I swung my legs over the bed so my feet touch the cold floor.

"Its time for breakfast. Are you alright?"

"Yes…yes I am fine, just a nightmare." I lied as I stood and walked towards her. Natalya held out my robe for me. She was my attendant; as long as I was awake she was with me. We had grown up together, it had always been this way.

Nat brushed her hand against the bruise on my cheek and she shook her head slightly.

"We wont be here for much longer." She whispered.

Everyday Nat said the same thing. I wish it were true but for 17 years I had waited, and nothing ever happened. For as long as I can remember, I have been told I would be sent away, to marry a leader of one of the other shape shifting tribes. To forge an alliance against the vampires.

I was not allowed to go anywhere or talk to anyone except my mother, father, brother and my attendants. Any man who looked at me was beaten within an inch of his life. And if I looked at anyone, I too was beaten.

My latest beating was because I was twirling my hair around my finger as I read a book yesterday afternoon. My father had grabbed the book and hit me in the face with it. I was expected to be perfect at all times and my father had said after he had finished beating me that twirling my hair, was a sign of weakness.

I was his punching bag, whenever he had a bad day, he would always find something about me he disapproved of. He left me broken and bleeding on the floor, my bruises were nothing compared to what they had been yesterday. The benefit of healing fast…

My father was a cruel man, he thought of nothing but destroying the Volturi and he saw me as a tool of war. I knew I was beautiful, but beauty was not valued among our people. If you could fight well or bear strong boys, then you were an important member of the clan.

Nadia, my other attendant walked in. She didn't say a word and didn't look at me. She just placed the tray of food on my table and walked out briskly.

"Daciana!" My mother exclaimed as she walked into my room.

"Mother." I said bowing my head, I was most scared of my father but my mother could be just as cruel.

"It has been decided, in 3 months you will be going to meet your future husband."

I was 18 in three months. It was old, by our clan's standards. Most women were married with children by the time they were 15 years old.

"Natalya, halve this plate. Daciana you must lose some weight, you are too fat. He will not like you."

Mother roughly grabbed my face bringing me to look her in the eyes. She lightly touched the bruise on my cheek and the puffiness around my eye.

"You will not be hit in the face anymore, we need you looking your best, don't we?"

I just nodded, hoping she would let me go.

"You will go for two walks a day and be bathed in goats milk twice a day. Your skin is horrid."

She roughly threw my face away and motioned for Nat to fix my plate.

Mother left the room and both Nat and I sighed in relief.

"Quickly, Ana eat, if your meals are halved you will starve!"

I sat down and split the food in half, I sighed as I handed the tray to Nat.

"If I don't, they will know and then we will both be in trouble."

Nat just sighed and walked out of my room.

'I hope my mate will be kinder to me.'

I ate my food and changed out of my nightgown. I didn't mind that I had to exercise. I loved the clothes I got to wear, there were so light and free compared to the heavy dresses I wore for the rest of the day. But more than that I wished to be naked, free to phase and run up the mountain. Father had forbidden me to phase anymore, it had begun disrupting my bleeding pattern, he did not want me to be inadequate for my mate. I did not feel complete anymore.

I liked to phase into a wolf, as most of my clan did. Some chose other animals, but the wolf was closest to our nature. I had liked to experiment when I was younger, I had loved the feeling of flying…soaring above the trees. I had planned to fly away so many times, but I did not know where to go, something held me here always.

I looked up as Kiara, my pet wolf plodded in through my door. I smiled and kneeled down hugging her. I sighed, relieved. Having Kiara close, made my inner wolf feel calmer. Her and Nat were like my sisters. I loved them both dearly.

I had found Kiara in my 13th year, she was a pup, abandoned by her pack. She was pure white, with blue eyes, which was unusual for the wolves in this area. They had left her because she was different, when I touched her for the first time I had known straight away I must protect her. I absorbed her DNA make up and shifted into a white wolf, so she would know that we were the same. From that moment on Kiara came with me wherever I went and whenever I shifted I became a white wolf with hazel green eyes.

I stood and began walking out of the house, I knew Kiara was close behind as I began jogging around the grounds. Our current manor was beautiful. It was perched on top of a hill deep in the wilderness, we were nomads, my father moved us 2-3 times a year. He preferred a house, but the other clan members preferred to carry their homes with them, they liked to be close to nature. Our Clan was not very big compared to others, there were only about 30 of us.

I often thought of what it would be like to be free to do as I pleased for just one day, to not have my day planned for me.

When I arrived back to my room to bath in the dreaded goats milk, I was surprised to find a man in my study. As it turned out my father had hired him to teach me English. It must be my future husbands native tongue. The mans name was Xavier, he had kind eyes and was patient with me. I had never met an outsider before and I tried not to stare at him. I found English quite difficult, but I tried so very hard to understand it and hoped to the Gods that the teacher would not tell my father I was bad at it.

At dinner that evening I took my place beside my brother, at the table. My dads Beta sat across from me, his name was Marcus, he looked at me slyly as usual. He scared me, I knew if my father allowed him, he would take me as a wife. He often grabbed me roughly when no one looked and would touch my breasts or kiss me harshly. I had grown used to it and knew he could never do much more for the fear of my father's wrath. It was times like this I was glad I was promised to someone else.

"You heard Daciana? That you will be leaving us soon?"

"Thank the Gods." My brother exclaimed.

Izac did like me, but he always put on a show for father. He knew that my father favoured Marcus and so Izac was careful not to displease him. Izac would be a kinder Alpha than my father or Marcus.

"Yes Father. Mother told me this morning. I did as she asked and have eaten less, I went for 2 walks and was bathed in goats milk."

My father nodded, pleased with my answer.

I was ignored for the rest of the evening, until mother excused me from the table. I knew that they were going to be discussing my impending nuptials.

When I got to my room, Nat had prepared a bath of goat's milk for me again. I sighed.

"Aghhh it smells."

"I know." Nat said as prepared my bed.

After the bath, I climbed into bed and pulled the covers around me tightly. It was silly but I always felt safe in my bed, it was the one place I wasn't abused or expected to be someone I was not. I felt like I was in a safe cocoon. Well until the sun came up again.
