About: Alexandra Mercer is the Alpha of her pack. She never ages, as well at her right hand man, Damon. As they stay young, and have been young for 200 years, things are changing. Alex's pack members are being killed off one by one by an unknown source. She changes to her human form and goes undercover in a small town, trying to find out who is killing her pack. But as she uncovers the mysteries of the town, she soon finds that falling in love (expically with a vampire) can be far more dangerous than finding the killer.

Chapter 1

I was alone. I knew what my job was, and knew that it had to be done alone.

There I stood, on the old porch of the house my father had built for our pack so long ago. Whenever my pack members were human, they stayed here. There was heat for the cold Wisconsin weather, but there was also a town only 5 minutes away from the house so we could food.

The members of my pack change every 6 months. Once bitten, it takes a full year to get into the cycle. After a year, they are a wolf for 6 months, and then a human for 6 months. So my pack is always coming and going from the house. But being Alpha, I had the advantage to change whenever I wanted to.

So, the house had 10 bedrooms, all filled with 2 beds, one bathroom, a flat screen TV, a computer, a walk in closet as large at the bathroom, and an overlook of our real home in the woods.

"Alex? Are you sure you don't need help?" Damon came up behind me. I looked at Damon. Damon. He had green eyes and longish jet black hair. He was very dreamy to all the girls in our pack, but he refused them, only wanting me. But I didn't want him. He was my right hand man. He would take over the pack while I was away on my mission. He can also change whenever he wants, just like I can.

"Damon, I need you to watch the pack. You are my right hand man. Please, just do this for me. If I need help, I'll ask the ones who are human right now. Please, just take care of them. I don't want any more of my family lost," tears started filling my eyes, which rarely happened.

Someone was killing my pack. When I was on patrol with one of my patrol groups, we found my mother and father dead, with silver bullets through their hearts and head. It angered me to the point where I had to take action.

"Just be careful. This town may be small, but it will be easy to be detected." Damon walked to the other side of the porch and put his hands on the railings. I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder, smiling. "Just trust me. Really, you need to have more faith in you leader."

Damon looked at me with a crooked smile. "You better not do anything stupid. If I find out you got in any trouble, I am coming to help. You haven't been human in over a decade and I am human almost every week. I know more than you."

"No promises," Was all I said to him.

He sighed and the next thing I knew, I was staring down at a black wolf with piercing green eyes.

Damon bounded off into the forest and as soon as he did, I heard him howl a painful cry that tore at my heart.

In the distance, I heard the rest of my pack join him. Sighing, I turned and walked into the house, waiting for the moment I could howl with my pack again.

Break

The one thing I hated about being human was that I had to attend school. Well, I didn't have to, but I did in order to get the information I needed.

I walked to the school, which was about a 5 minute walk from the house. My best friend, who was human at the moment, walked with me.

"You got this Alex?" She asked me, turning around in front of me and walked backwards. I cocked my head to the side and raise my eyes brow. "Sounds like Damon got to you. Bryn, I am you leader. I am smart, fast, and I know how to put up a fight if I need to. Just because I'm 200 years old, doesn't mean I act like an old person," I told her.

Bryn laughed at me, and turned back around and got in step with me.

I laughed with her and we soon got to the school. I was dressed in very comfortable airwalks, skinny jeans, a dark purple tank town, and a leather jacket. My hair was down, which was unusual. I had lots of hair, and I usually up it up in a ponytail.

The school wasn't that large, but it was expected for this small town. Everyone was either walking or driving to school.

Bryn and I walked to the front office and got our things. "Great to meet you ladies. Please, have a seat and Mr. Howard will be right with you," the front desk lady gave us a smile and pointed to some chairs.

Bryn sat down but I didn't. "Are you sure Howey will be okay with this?" She asked me. I looked down at her. She was so unsure of herself, but I knew this had to be done. "He knows that we are coming Bryn. He will let us in. Trust me."

"Alex, Bryn, you can some in now," Mr. Howard said to us from his office. We both walked in and sat down.

"Alex, I don't like that you are here," Howey said. I rolled my eyes. "Howey, I know you aren't but someone killed my parents, someone killed 5 other pack members. I can't let this go on. I need to find out who it is."

"I just hope you are making the right decision in leaving the pack in a time like this. They will need you more than ever if that is what is happening," Howey looked from me to Bryn. "I have Damon watch over things. I've got it all taken care of." I told him, standing up.

"Whatever you say Alpha. Good luck though. I guess if you need anything, you know where to find me," Howey nodded to the door. "You may leave now. Don't make yourselves noticed."

I walked out, or more like stormed out. Howey was an elder. I knew I should listen to him, but I needed to do this. I didn't like Howey as much and I wanted to. He was crabby and when Elders got to an old age, they got to choose whether he stayed a wolf or human. He chose human and I hated him for it. But it was the way it was for us.

As Bryn and I walked through the school, people stared at us. We were the new kids and of course these humans would notice. I turned to Bryn. "I will see you later, okay? Stay low, find out whatever you need to if you can. Don't ask people, just listen in on their conversations. If people ask, you and I are sisters."

Bryn nodded and turned down a hallway to her locker.

I sighed, turned, and walked down the hall some more. When I got to my locker, I got it open and shoved my backpack I had in there. With my wolf hearing, I could hear people talking about me. Some guys were calling me Hot. Some girls were calling me a slut and a bitch already. Technically, I am a bitch, but they are just clueless mundanes. My first hour is English. The one human thing in this world I could actually pay attention to. That is their physical education class.

When I got into the classroom, I went up to the teacher.

"Mr. Hanson? I'm your new student, Alex," I smiled the best I could.

"Right, Alex. Great to have you here. Would you mind presenting yourself to the class? If that is okay? I try to make my classes more like a family and try to make everyone like each other and feel welcome," Mr. Hanson smiled at me.

"Sure," Damon it. Not what I wanted. A loud bell went off, making my ears ring. The kids in the class room sat down and the noise got silent, letting me think for 5 quick seconds.

"Class, we have a new student with us today. Do your best to try and include her," Mr. Hanson motioned to me by his desk.

I waved uncomfortably. My animal instincts kicked in and my eyes looked at every kid in the room in a matter of 10 seconds. I could easily pick out the nerds, jocks, Goths, and cheerleaders.

"Hi," I muttered, trying to sound nice and not like a complete bitch. "I'm Alexandra Mercer, but please call me Alex. I come from another small town up north in Wisconsin. I love the outdoors ad hunting. I like to think of myself as a tough girl who can kick ass. I'm not the type of girl who wants to go shopping or things like that. I have a sister named Bryn and we live with our uncle. We came here because our parents, um, were killed in a car crash," I faked a smile and looked at Mr. Hanson.

"Awesome. Thanks Alex. I'm sure you will do great here. Take the empty desk next to Nate. Nate, raise your hand."

A kid raised his hand and I walked over and sat down. The Nate kid gave me a funny smile and then looked forward.

"Nate, if you should show her-" I cut him off, already knowing what Mr. Hanson was going to say. "It's really not necessary Mr. Hanson. I can find everything myself. Thank you though."

Mr. Hanson just nodded and went on to teach his class. But I didn't listen because through his talking, I could faintly hear a wolf howl and a gun shot.
