Lately I've been really enjoying stories and books envolving werewolves or animal shifters, so I figured I'd write down an idea that has been floating around in my head for a while. Hope you enjoy my new story and feel free to let me know what you think.

Chapter 1

A loud crashing noise woke the sleeping blonde. Still a little groggy from sleep she allowed the wolf inside her to take over her senses. The scents of Loke and Virgo hit her nose along with their fear and anger. When she smelled the scent of three strange wolves in the house she bolted out of bed. Lucy always knew there was a chance that the alpha's nephew Dan would get tired of her rejections and try to force a mating on her. Even though everyone knew they weren't true mates they wanted her to join the pack by choice or by force. A year ago when they first arrived in town the alpha begrudgingly let them stay in his territory since they tended to stick to themselves. The act that changed all that was three months when there was a major fight at the bar and there wasn't an alpha wolf from the pack to break it up. Annoyed Lucy stepped in and let her alpha power roll through all the wolves in the bar until they all dropped to one knee. With one word to the offending wolf she sent him home. Moving to the alpha's nephew she knelt before him before she placed her hand on his chest. Closing her eyes Lucy reached her mind into his body to heal all his injuries from the fight. When she opened her eyes she saw that everyone was looking at her with wide eyes.

"You're an alpha and a gypsy healer," Dan gasped.

A growl brought her back to the present before her door burst open. Loke stood in the doorway in tattered clothes. Her heart leapt to her throat when she saw blood on him. The alpha in her wanted to protect him and the healer wanted to take away his pain. Lucy took one step toward him, but stopped when he shook his head.

"It's bad. Dan somehow spread the word that he was going to mate a gypsy healer. Grimoire Heart Pack found us. You need to run. Virgo and I will hold them off for as long as we can," Loke told her his hazel eyes glowing.

"But I should stay and fight with you guys," Lucy said here chocolate brown eyes glowing in response.

"Lucy you can't. We've already lost a lot of our pack protecting you. Your mother's last words were to protect you until you found your mate. If Grimoire Heart get you your life will be over. They will use your genes to produce powerful shifters to defeat all the pack so that they can rule all including the humans. It's time for you to run and go on your own. Grab your go bag and run. Just remember to cast the spell to hide your scent." Loke hugged her tight before pushing her away.

"Just promise me the two of you will come back to me," Lucy cried.

Loke nodded his head before shifting. His clothes tore to shreds and covered the spot that he had previously been in. Lucy turned around and quickly rummaged around in her closet before she found her go bag. Taking a deep breath she focused on the magic within her from being a gypsy healer and cast the spell that would suppress her scent. Opening her eyes she opened the window and grabbed the bag before jumping out. The moment she hit the ground she tossed the bag into the air and shifted into her wolf. With perfect timing she caught the strap of the bag in her mouth and started to run through the forest.

At first she started to run east but them something her wolf felt told her to head west. Changing direction Lucy hoped that she wouldn't run into the pack that was hunting her down. About a half hour into running west she smelled some wolves from the pack. Before she could figure out where they were she was tackled. Dropping her bag she snapped back at the wolf when she landed on her back. Lucy felt the claws dig into her exposed stomach ripping through her flesh. She felt another wolf capture her left hind leg and snap the bone. With a yelp Lucy was able to get out from underneath them. Even injured Lucy was able to keep up with the two wolfs in the fight. Sure they caught her flank and ripped the skin on her shoulder but she also got in a few injuries on them. One of the wolfs was able to knock her to the ground again and Lucy decided to pretend she was knocked out. When the wolf got close enough she latched her mouth around his neck and didn't let go until she heard the sound of their neck snapping and their blood in her mouth.

Lucy could feet the claws of the other wolf dig into her back as they watched their comrade die. Turning her head she snapped at the wolf and when they backed up she flipped her body and used her good hind leg to dig into the flesh of their belly. When they fell due to pain she took the opportunity in that split second to launch herself at them and latch her mouth onto their neck until it broke. Huffing Lucy looked around for her bag, but didn't see it anywhere. Lifting her nose up into the air she smelled more wolfs heading her way. Not wanting to waste time looking for it she started to head back in the direction she was heading before.

It was another couple hours before she saw the edge of the forest. Her nose caught the delicious scent of campfire and redwood. The exhaustion and pain from her injuries got to her started to get to her now that she finally reached her destination. Out of the corner of her eye she saw two females. One with long white hair and the other was small a small girl around maybe twelve years old with blue hair. When her body collapsed she watched as they rushed over to her.

"Oh my god, what happened to you?" the white haired lady. "Well whatever it is you're safe now that you're in the territory of Fairy Tail."

Lucy whined she felt someone touch her bloody fur before everything around her went black.
