So this is my newest FanFiction story. I'm changing a few things that happened in the last book of the trilogy because I absolutely hated the ending. Anyways, I hope y'all enjoy!

Quote of the Chapter:

Chapter 1: White Rose

Renier Laroche got ready to attack his so called 'father'. The turmoil within him was overbearing, overpowering. First and foremost, he hated Emile Laroche with every ounce of both his human and wolf beings. This man was the reason his mother had died, the reason his true father had died.

Second, his Lily was falling in love with someone else. He couldn't stand Shay. The only reason he hadn't killed him yet was because Calla would never forgive him if he did. Ren didn't want to know what his life would be like without her.

The emotions overtook his rationality and using his powerful hind legs, Ren leaped towards his Emile, realizing in mid-air that he had over-jumped and that his father was going to be able to bite his neck. Ren knew in that instant he was going to die, and he was okay with it.

He braced for the impact, but it never came. A flash of white fur barreled into Emile Laroche with a force that sent the Bane wolf smashing into the bookshelf. Ren landed on his feet and whipped around to face his savior. A pure white wolf stood there growling at Emile. Ren knew it wasn't Calla because he had been keeping his eye on her the whole time, never once not knowing where she was. The second reason was that this wolf smelled differently. Ren knew it was a she. She had a soft scent of plum and freesia and some type of melon although he couldn't decipher what kind. It all blended together in an intoxicating scent.

Emile limped up, obviously severely hurt from the impact. Mr. Tor charged him and the two alphas fought ferociously. Both were growling and snarling and snapping their jaws at each other's necks. Emile took some direct hits to his stomach and legs. His back hind leg was splintered. Ren was amazed Emile was still going, but unfortunately, the Bane alpha had always been a fighter. Finally, Mr. Tor got the upper hand. He smashed the elder Laroche into the bookshelf once more, and not giving him a chance to get up, leapt over to him, and bit Emile in the neck, instantly killing him. When Mr. Tor lifted his muzzle, he was glowering with pride.

Well done, Father Calla's voice praised, resonating through everyone. Ren's thoughts shifted from his dead adoptive father to the mysterious white wolf. He turned to face her. She stood on guard, looking magnificent and very, very deadly.

He unconsciously took a step forward, knowing that everyone in the room was watching him and the newcomer. The wolf snapped her jaws and bared her teeth. Ren stopped instantly, lowering his head to show his intentions weren't to fight. The wolf let out a low growl before backing up.

Don't follow me her voice warned through his head, and from the way all the wolves in the room tensed, it was obvious she had spoken to them, too. She kept her unwavering gaze on Ren as she continued to move back towards the door.

"You dare interfere?" Lumine snarled. The white wolf broke off her eye contact with Ren and stared at Lumine. With a snarl that made Ren raise his hackles, the wolf slowly approached Lumine. Lumine's eyes widened only slightly as the mystery wolf came nearer.

Another growl erupted from the strangers throat, but Ren could just see the smile that would be on her face, one he very much wanted to see.

"You wouldn't dare hurt your master," Lumine said smoothly, although Ren could hear the slight fear that tinged her voice.

You're not my master anymore the white wolf said. With that, she lunged toward Lumine's throat; Lumine was surprised but not enough to where she couldn't dodge out of the way just in the nick of time.

Whipping around, the white wolf stood her ground as she watched Lumine and her wraith bodyguards exit the room with the Keeper at a dead run. Shay was heading towards the door but Connor stopped him.

"Our fight is here," Connor said. Shay turned to the white wolf that had started leaving the room.

"Wait!" Shay called. The white wolf halted as Calla, Mr. Tor, Sabine, Ethan, Bryn, Connor, and Adne backed up Shay. Ren remained standing in front of him.

What do you want, Scion? The wolf asked.

"Who are you?"

I'm a Guardian on your side the wolf said. As she started to leave, Ren bounded up to her. She turned around with an unnatural amount of speed, knocking Ren to the ground with a surprising amount of force. She pinned him to the ground, baring her startling white teeth. Ren made no attempt to escape. Calla, Shay (who had shifted into wolf form), Mr. Tor, Sabine and Bryn barked ferociously as they advanced on the white wolf while Connor, Ethan, and Adne advanced with their weapons ready.

I'm not going to hurt him the white wolf snapped calmly. The wolves stopped advancing but they didn't stop glowering at her, giving a clear message not to hurt him.

Making sure he only sent his thought to the white wolf, who he noticed had hazel eyes, Ren said Thank you.

She slowly stopped baring her teeth and stared at Ren, as if seeing him for the first time.

You're welcome, Renier Laroche.

Without saying anymore, she backed off of him and walked out of the door, leaving everyone speechless.

Ren opened his eyes, revealing the valley beneath him.

His gaze shifted to silvery moon as he lay on a cliff in the Rocky Mountains. He had left Vail just about a week ago. Calla had chosen Shay, just like he knew she would. But that wasn't what was on his mind. It was the mysterious white wolf that had saved his life. The scene played over and over in his head every time he closed his eyes. Calla had told him not to track her down, that she obviously didn't want to be followed, but he didn't care. The mystery wolf had saved his life. He wanted to meet her in human form face to face to find out why. Why did she come? Why did she come right at the moment Ren was about to die? Why didn't she just let Emile kill him when she didn't even know Ren?

Another question nagging at him was how. How had she known he was going to over-jump and give Emile a chance to kill him? How had she known what time to come? He had never met her before in his life. He would've remembered that scent if he had. It was unforgettable… just like her.

Ren forced all thoughts of that night out of his mind. For the first time in days, he felt relaxed and not worried that any of his old pack mates would come looking for him. He was far away from them.

Instead, he stared out at the open field before him. The moon was bathing everything in a white light, making the world seem surreal, as if it were a place out of a fairytale.

There was a slight breeze going downwind. Ren could smell the fresh ponderosas along with some wild animals that were of no threat to him. He could hear the trembling aspens with their fluttering leaves. He observed a herd of deer, watching them until they disappeared in the forest that surrounded the field they had been trekking through.

It wasn't until a familiar scent hit him that he raised his head. Looking up the cliff, he made out a pair of eyes staring at him. They weren't showing any aggression, nor were they showing friendliness. It was more of a curious look with a hint of wariness.

However, he didn't care that they were merely curious and wary about him. He stood up and started trotting towards the wolf. He had to get to them. When the wolf started to run away, Ren put on a burst of speed and chased after them. The wolf was fast, but Ren had so much adrenaline coursing through his veins that it didn't matter. They weaved in and out of the trees, leaping gracefully over fallen logs, rocks, and at one point a small stream. They ended up in the open field before diving into a forest again. Here, Ren gained the upper hand when the other wolf stumbled over a small rock. Ren crashed into them before pinning the stranger to the ground. The wolf snarled menacingly at him, but he didn't care. He had finally caught them. Bright eyes stared at Ren. White teeth were bared as they tried to kick him off, but it was to no avail.

Ren made sure he was looking directly into her hazel eyes when he asked: Why did you save me?

Okey doke, there's the chapter! I hope y'all enjoyed it! Review!
