Chapter 1

3 years of running. 3 years of on my own. 3 years of invading wolf packs and taking their food supplies. It felt good to be on my own. Nobody trailing behind me. Nobody wanting me all to themselves. Nobody fighting me.

I was happy. Honestly, I was. I haven't even thought about Damon or Scott. I was still on a mission to find this woman to get in contact with Josh. And I think I might have just found her.

I was in Texas. It was blazing hot here. I was glad I never had to live here with my pack. But, I have been tracking this woman for the past 2 days and I honestly know this is the women I am looking for. Finally, after 3 long years.

Night fell and the moon rose. In my wolf form, I crept up to her house, looking around. Her lights were on and she was sitting in her living room reading a book.

I walked up to the front door and shifted into my Human form. It felt weird to be human again. I haven't been human sense I left Damon and Scott behind in the clearing.

I ran the door bell and turned my back to the door. Knowing her, she probably already knew I was here. I narrowed my eyes and looked into the darkness. She lived by no one. She was all by herself out here, secluded from the world.

I heard the door open and I turned to look at her. Her eyes got wide and she slammed the door in my face. I banged on the door.

"Jessie! Jessie, open the door! I need your help! Please. You're all I have left. Jessie!" I leaned against the door. She was my last hope to knowing what was going on and what Josh had told me 3 years ago when I almost died.

"Jessie, please." I pleaded, tears coming to my eyes.

She cracked open the door. "You never cry. Is it really that bad?" She asked me. I smiled slightly at her, whipping my eyes.

"Come on in. But only for a little bit. I can't have you here right now," Jessie, looked around outside as she let me in.

"Everything okay?" I asked her, taking my jacket off and putting it on the chair next to her door.

"Yea. I am just surprised to see you Alex. It's been too long," Jessie walked past me and into the kitchen. "Do you want anything to eat?" She asked me.

"No thank you. I am here on business and I just want to talk. I need you help with something, Jessie, if you are able to help me," I sat down on her couch, looking at my hands.

"You left them," she said, sitting down next to me. "I had to," I whispered.

"You had to? Is this because of what Josh told you?" She asked me. I quickly looked up at her. "That is why you are here. So I can talk to Josh and see what he meant by being careful."

I nodded. When I almost died, my parents and brother showed themselves to me. They were all dead, but Josh had a message for me that I couldn't get out of my head. "I was told that you are in danger if you go back," Josh had told me. "There are some mean people out there that want you dead. You have been around too long. You have the largest pack in the U.S. You are the strongest pack leader. Be ready for a fight."

"I just need to know more. Who wants me dead? How am I the strongest pack leader? What fight?" I rubbed my temples.

"He is here," Jessie muttered. I looked up at her. "He said he doesn't have long so he has to make this fast. He is telling you to go back. Go back to the pack and get them to leave. There is a fight that is starting between them and the 2nd largest pack, run by a guy named Logan. You need to go back and defend them."

"Why should I go back when I am a lone wolf now?" I asked Josh, who I couldn't see. "I am probably

going to die for real this time. I'm not ready to die Josh, you know that."

Jessie closed her eyes and nodded. "He said go back. Even if you have to face Scott and Damon, you need to go back."

I sighed. So I came here to Jessie, only to be told to go back. 3 years of trying to find her and only to be told by my dead brother to go back to my pack and help them.

Jessie looked at me. "He's gone."

"How convenient," I muttered, standing up. I grabbed my jacket and threw it on, opening her door.

"Alex, what are you doing?" Jessie asked me.

"What does it look like? I am going back to save my family. I shouldn't have left," I looked at Jessie and smiled softly.

"Thank you for your help. Hopefully the next time we see each other, it will be on better terms," I gave Jessie a quick hug.

"I see danger in your future Alex. Be careful around this Logan guy. I feel that he might try to get the better of you," Jessie pushed me away and had a huge frown on her face.

"Jess, I can handle myself. Thank you," I ran out of her house and shifted, running towards home, back to the life that I should have never left.
