Chapter 1

A Fresh Start

After defeating Desdemona, the pack started to pack up to head home. Our pack resided in Silver Springs, Nevada, USA. I longed for my home but I had a stronger desire. As I stood outside the Romanian mansion, I understood what the desire meant. Something inside of me wanted to stay. I looked over at my pack with fondness. I had known them all my life. I fought side by side with these men and women. I was the only son and child my parents had. This was enough for them; they felt like I was a blessing. So leaving them meant breaking Ma's heart and disappointing Pa. In time they would understand, but they would fight me all the way. Could I really leave my pack, my family? My wolf wanted to be with the Romanian pack. It would hurt so many of them if I left but my instincts were never off. I would have to speak with my alpha and Vasile. "Well, better get this over with…" I said as I walked back into the mansion.

1 Year Later…

Sweat was pouring from all over. My heart was pounding in my ears. My legs were burning but I refused to stop running. I had been traveling in the wilderness for most of my life. I had to cross a wolves' path of all days, my first day in Romania! How did I not notice a huge, white wolf? I'm walking along and BAM there it is growling at me. I wouldn't have ran if it didn't start to lunge at me. So here I am sprinting through the woods, for my life. "Grrrrrrr!" said the massive wolf. The adrenaline finally kicked in and I pumped my legs harder. Relief washed over me. There was a clearing with people and a big house within reach.

I broke through the underbrush and ran towards the group of men. I finally stopped two feet from the crowd. I quickly spun around. The white wolf was lurking back and forth behind the trees. I turned towards the group looking for help. They were very creepy, handsome men, but with a rape vibe. They circled around me. Were they sniffing me? First a wolf and now a bunch of pervs, how could this get any worse? They started to close in, my inside voice said to lash out. Hands were grabbing at me. I punched, kicked, clawed, and elbowed them. I could feel a scream building in my throat. All of a sudden they were all on their knees. I spun around to a man and a woman staring at me. The man spoke and the group of men walked to the house, heads down. Then they approached me. The woman spoke, it was probably Romanian. I had yet to learn this language.

I obviously looked confused. "Are you okay?" the man asked. "I'm o-o-okay. I was being chased by a white wolf and then those… ugh." I replied. I pointed towards the woods.

The girl pointed to the trees. There was no longer a wolf anymore. Instead in its' place stood the Great Luna, our creator. I blinked and she was gone. This young she-wolf was very important. I introduced myself, Vasile, and Alina. "What is your name little one?" "Umm Kaity." She responded. She didn't bare her neck to me in submission, so I used my dominance again on her. She didn't as much as flinch. This was a sign of great disrespect to the King of Canis Lupus. But something was off about Kaity. I was curious to find out who she is and why she is so dominant. Alina was furious. "You better show respect! " Mina growled at Kaity. "Uh I have to go" she said as she tried to side step Mina.

In half a breath Mina had phased and took a step towards Kaity. The poor girl stepped backwards and tripped over a branch. She screamed as she fell backwards, hitting her head on a rock.

After a year I had finally switched my address and said all of my goodbyes. Vasile had accepted me with open arms. My family reluctantly accepted my decision. As I stepped off the private jet, I felt a tingling sensation along my chest, neck, shoulder, and back. Pretty much my mark was tingling all over. It shocked most to see that I was dominant and not an alpha. My old alpha and his mate didn't have any children so I was next in line instead of the beta. So my leaving was a little distressing. But by the time I left the beta proved he was worthy to be the heir to the alpha. I wouldn't have to worry, they were in good hands. I continued to walking towards the black hummer once the tingling subsided. Costin was picking me up and bringing me to the mansion. We were twenty minutes from the mansion when I mentally heard oh god… AHHHHHHH! Then the voice was quiet. I leapt out of the vehicle and phased. I ran as fast as I could. My instincts lead me to the mansion. As I ran around back to the training grounds, I saw what I was looking for. I ran to her, jumping over Alina and standing protectively over my mate. Alina growled at me, I submitted to her but held my ground.

Before I could help Kaity a wolf was standing over her. I realized it was our newest member. "Welcome home Pedro. How was your flight?" The wolf nodded his head. Mina look at what you have done, I chuckled. Mina looked up at me and rolled her eyes. She left and came back with pants and shoes in human form. Pedro phased back and put the clothes on. "We need to move her Pedro. If you carry her, I'll have Sally heal her." I told Pedro.

I was uneasy but my mate needed help. So I would follow Vasile and get my Luna some help. Of all the wonderful things to happen to me, I would find my mate. Here she was, all mine to love and cherish. What was her name? I reached into her mind to find it. Kaitlynn! What a beautiful name. I was excited to learn all I could about Kaitlynn, but that would have to wait. We walked silently to the infirmary.
