CHAPTER 1

The full moon was high in the sky and the stars shone brightly. The city was quiet and the weather was perfect.

So why did the two feel as if something was wrong?

Two wolves larger than any normal wolf circled around a clearing in the woods at a nearby park. They basked in the glow of the moon but something was wrong, they could feel it. It made their fur stand up and their teeth bore as if to attack.

One wolf is slightly bigger than the other with fur as dark as the night. The smaller wolf has gray fur with white highlighted across her body as if snow had fallen over her.

A rustle from the trees causes them to stand rear to rear as they surveyed their surroundings. A howl rips through the night before the black wolf is tackled to the ground tumbling along with its attacker. The gray wolf jumps after the other and clamps her jaw around the hind leg of the wolf who attacked her companion and tugged him away.

The black wolf gets up and growls at the copper wolf in front of her. The copper wolf feels the authority coming from the black wolf and whimpers a he stands down dropping onto his stomach and pressing his snout into his paws.

'What's your name pup?'

The copper wolf jerks his head up. 'You're like me?'

The black wolf nods. 'Yes, how long have you been changing?'

'Only a few months. My mother told me I might not ever change but one night it just happened.' He sounds desperate. 'Please make the pain stop.' He begs and the black wolf looks at the gray wolf.

'He's been fighting the change.' The gray wolf says and the black wolf looks down.

The black wolf looks down at the copper one. 'I want you to picture yourself. Your human self. Focus on the image and clear your mind of everything but the image of yourself.' She instructs.

The copper wolf does as she says and with a series of whimpers, popping and snapping the copper wolf in front of them shrinks into that of a young man probably their age.

The gray wolf whines as she turns her head at the naked form in front of her.

The boy opens his eyes and gasps as he attempts to cover himself. Then he groans in pain.

'That is the wolf. It is a full moon, it wishes to run and absorb the moon's power. You have to let it happen. It hurts less and the pain disappears after the change.' the black wolf informs.

The boy nods and closes his eyes. He lets out a few pained screams but he gives into the change and falls forward onto his hands that turn into paws as they connect with the ground. Copper fur explodes from him as his body finishes its change.

The wolf lets out a whimper before lifting his nose to the sky and letting out a howl. Then he smiles in a way only a wolf can.

'The pain is gone!' he cheers.

'And not naked.' The gray wolf grunts and the black wolf growls at her in warning. 'I'm just saying.'

'I'm Benji by the way. Uh, Benjamin Applebaum. Just call me Benji.' The copper wolf says.

'Nice to meet you, I'm Beca and the other one over there is my ugly step-sister Taylor.' The black wolf grins as the gray wolf growls low.

'You're no Cinderella yourself.' The gray wolf retorts.

'Why don't you join us for a run?' Beca offers before a noise catches her attention. She turns to Benji. 'Were you running from someone?' he nods. 'Who?' Beca asks as a pale figure stepped into the moonlight. His footsteps so soft it is as if he glided across the ground.

Taylor growls but Beca steps forward. 'Just run.' Beca orders and Taylor huffs but obliges.

'Come on Benji. We have to go warn the others.' Taylor says nudging Benji forward and taking off into a sprint. Benji is right behind her.

'What about Beca?' Benji asks.

'She'll be fine.' Taylor hopes as she keeps running.

'Where are we going?' Benji asks as a pained howl rips through the air.

A large house comes into view. 'There.' Taylor says as she leaps over the high gated fence. Benji follows after her and once they reach the back sliding door of the mansion an older man and two others step out.

The older man looks over Benji before turning his attention to Taylor. "Where is Beca?"

'Vamps are on our territory. Beca is holding them off. They won't listen to us. They only listen to the coven leader.' Taylor says and the older man nods.

A dirty blonde woman rushes up to Taylor. "Are you ok sweetie?" she asks as the older man shifts and races off.

'I'm fine mom, I have to go to Beca.' Taylor says turning to go but her mother grabs a handful of her fur.

"Your grandfather can handle it." She says but Taylor shakes her off.

'Help Benji.' Taylor says racing after her grandfather.

"Come inside son." Nathan Mitchell waves and Benji follows them inside.

It is thirty minutes later when Taylor, Beca and Taylor's grandfather, Keith, return. Taylor is wrapped in a robe just like her grandfather and step-sister and Benji is amazed to see the major difference. As a wolf Beca is larger than he and Taylor. As a human she is tiny and currently looks like a fragile porcelain doll wrapped up in her step-sister's arms. He also realizes that her fur is the exact opposite of her natural hair color. Taylor is a brunette with hazel eyes, a defined jaw line and all together gorgeous.

"What happened?" Nathan demands.

"She's fine Nathan." Taylor says. "Just tired." Taylor assures as she carries Beca inside and up the stairs to her room.

"Dad?"

"She's fine Sheila. They both are. When we got to Beca they had her pinned down. Five against one." Nathan clenches his jaw. Keith turns to address Benji."Let's go find you a room shall we." He smiles softly a he motions for Benji to follow him. "You are a small lad." Keith comments as Benji stands up and Keith notices he is wearing a pair of Taylor's basketball shorts and one of her larger sleeping shirts.

Benji blushes as Keith leads him up the stairs. They pass Taylor stepping out of another room.

"Hey, I just tucked her in." Taylor says jabbing her thumb in the direction of the door she had just shut.

"Good, get some sleep sweetheart." Keith says and Taylor nods. "I'm just showing Benji here to his room."

Taylor nods once more before hugging her grandfather. "Night gramps." Keith scowls as she kisses his cheek. "Night Benji." She smiles and Benji nods in return.

Benji watches as Taylor disappears through a door right across the hall from Beca's room. Keith motions him forward and they stop two doors down from Taylor's room.

"This is your room and the room next door is your bathroom. Taylor and Beca have en suite's so you don't have to worry about the toilet seat." Keith says with a teasing smile and Benji laughs lightly along.

"Thank you for this."

"Not a problem son. How old are you by the way?" Keith asks.

"Uh, I'm sixteen sir." Benji answers and Keith purses his lips.

"Huh, would you look at that. You are the same age as Beca and Taylor. Where do you live?"

"Here in Atlanta."

Keith nods. "You are welcome to stay as long as you want. Taylor is sticking around but Beca will be leaving for her mother's after the summer."

"Thank you sir."

"Just call me Keith or Grandpa. You're part of the pack now." Keith beams clapping his hand down onto Benji's shoulder making him stumble at the force. "We'll help strengthen you up."

"Pack?" Benji asks and Keith nods.

"Yep. Pack, a group of wolves. I am currently Alpha but since Beca is older than Taylor by a few months and she is the next in line to be Alpha of her father's pack and he left his behind to join mine so in turn Beca became a part of the pack through marriage. By becoming a part of my pack and family she is the next Alpha and Taylor is her Beta." Keith laughs at Benji's confused look. "I'll explain it over breakfast. Get some sleep kid." Keith says leaving Benji alone in the room.


Please review.

Also I don't have a celebrity to portray Taylor. So use whoever you want or imagine up what she looks like with the traits I will give in the story.
