Chapter One: Intro

"God Rachel can't we go any where on a run without getting hurt?" Jenks asked softly beside my ear. We were currently surrounded by fully wereed Were's and in a tight circle around me.

"Shut up Jenks" I muttered under my breath. I was sporting Ivy's sword but the thing had only managed to hurt me worse than the weres. The weres drew closer to us, their fur bristling and ears laid back. The run was a simple tag and drag for another local pack but like everything else in my life it wasn't easy. The weres stopped advancing and listened. A deep growl came from behind them and another huge were jumped in next to me, it lifted its muzzle at me scenting the air around me. The new were was twice as big as any of ther weres there and turned to them growling. "Jenks what the Turn is that" I asked softly knowing that he could hear me "I have no idea Rache" He answered. The wolf pressed into me causing me to take a step back. "I think it wants you to leave Rachel." I didnt hesitate to leave and grabbing my tag and left the alley they had surrounded me in. The sounds of a monstrous dog fight came from behind me but I kept my head down and got into my car. As I drove home from dropping my tag off I asked Jenks "That wasn't a were was it"

"I dont know Rachel I couldn't get a straight smell in that alley, it smelled like wet dog and urine" Jenks said thoughtfully. "I mean it looked like a were if weres could look like that but it didnt smell like a were more of a soft meadow smell with inscence, redwood, and burnt amber" he added the last part softly. "Do you think it could have been Al?" I asked horrified that I owed him another mark. "No there wasn't enough to be demon but there's something" Jenks said soothing my worry. I pulled into the driveway to the church and noticed Ivy's bike gone. My heart plumeted at the sight" Ever since I had told Ivy my feelings we were hardly ever apart. jenks laughed an he saw my face in the street light. "Shut up Jenks" I said angrily but the smirk ruined it and made him laugh harder.

I entered the church and went to the kitchen to start coffee to find a note proped up against the coffee pot.

Dear Heart I will be back around 2 maybe we can have takeout and watch a movie together. Dont worry about anything Ill see you when I get home. ~Ivy

I put the note back and looked at the clock "1:15 I should go get ready" I said to myself. After I was done from my shower I heard Jenks from the garden.

"Rachel get your butt out here"

I rushed outside to see Jenks hovering over the wolf we had seen that day. I saw large gashes on the body and had a bad limp coming from the back left hip. It limped towards me and collasped at my feet, I fell to my knees and looked for any serious wounds. "Rache whats going on why is it here?" Jenks said "Shut up Jenks" I snapped at him. I picked up the wolf's head to find electric green eyes on mine. I slid my arms under the wolf and lifted to find it realitively light I carried it into the church. "I can only help you if you don't hurt me okay. Blink if you understand" To my astonishment it blinked. I reached for the worst wound, a long gash on the right forearm, and wrapped it in gauze from my bathroom after putting ointment on it. I finished by wiping off the access blood before it had the chance to matt in the fur.

"What are we gonna do Rachel this thing is huge" Jeks asked finally calmed down some since seeing the wolf again. I heard the distant sound of a motor bike and said "Go warn Ivy" knowing the vampire would have territorial issues. I put my pain amulet on the hip as I heard the door open. The wolf looked at me and tried to stand. My back was to the entrance and knew Ivy was in when the wolf started to growl at something behind me.

"What the hell witch get away from that thing" The rare curse fell from Ivy's mouth "Let me go Ivy it saved my life I was circled by weres and it go me out" I fell to my knees again and looked at the wolfs eyes. "Shes a friend dont hurt her" The wolf blinked in responce to my statement. "Can you help me take care of her?" 'Did i say her?' I thought. Ivy looked over at me and ran her hands on the wolf checking for wounds. She sat back on her heels and said "Ive never seen a wolf this big. She cant stay here Rachel shes enormous" I gave her a confused look she sighed and said "I dont know what she is so there for I don't trust her"

"If it was gonna hurt me it would have a dozen times by now not save my life." I looked down at the wolf and back to her "If she is an Inderlander, I want her on my side."
