Ok I saw the movie and I couldn't help but do something . I have had this in my head for months now it was just piecing it together and putting it in to words and tada! A story so lets get this show on the road.

I own nothing but the oc's

Chapter 1

Walking through the woods she looked up at the darkening sky, the sun was already falling walking faster she caught up to mama. They all had to walk since one of the horses had gotten hurt papa hadn't wanted to stress the other horses so there they were walking it was getting close to winter now and the cutting winds weren't letting up.

Taking her mama's hand Nika looked around the thick woods she knew that there was no real threat out there but it helped to be on guard that's what papa had told them to do till they found a place that papa said was safe for the night. The sky would be empty to night the moon would not grace them with its presence she was saddened by this but they would survive.

Mama warped an arm around her little one she knew that the lack of the moon made them all uneasy. Rubbing her back mama smiled to her.

" don't worry pup we will be fine "

"I know mama"

"then calm down I can smell your fear little one "

"I m not scared mama just restless"

"oh if you are not scared than whose fear is it hmm?"

It was a game of sorts to test her senses the best way to play was when they were in crowds making it fun to try and find which scent with which person but with her family it lost some of the appeal since her brothers weren't particularly fond of their youngest sibling.

"I don't want to play that game mama" Nika murmured knowing she would hear her even with the winds blowing.

"you must not fear them it only makes them angry pup"

Knowing her mama's words were true she couldn't deny it, she did fear them a little but they were so much older than her. Andrei was lean but tall like papa as the oldest he would be the one to take over if anything happened to papa but he just wanted to leave so did Lukyan they were both tired of living with papa but the laws of their kind stated that till the youngest was of age the others could not leave their pack to form their own no matter how much the boys wanted to leave they couldn't till she was sixteen and that was years away she was only ten.

"I don't I just know they want to leave" mumbled Nika

"hush now I think were going to stop soon "

Mama knew what the boys wanted and it would only get harder as time went on they were adults now and should have had their own packs already started. the wagon came to a stop the horses whinnied as the winds grew harsher Nika watched her brothers calm the horses while her papa jumped down.

"start setting up camp I will scout the area" papa's voice was rough filled with an intimidating edge

Nika was quick to help clear the ground of any rock or branches for the tents but Andrei and Lukyan huffed scowls on their faces the alpha authority had little effect on them anymore if at all. Andrei was almost the same size as papa but his hair was a rich brown like mama's instead of coal black and his eyes were a hard blue he was nineteen. Lukyan had papa's thick black hair and the same blue eyes but he didn't glare at her half as much he was seventeen. The brothers were happy as a two man pack even with runs they did sometimes but once Andrei was ready to leave papa crushed his hopes telling him all of the laws ending any good relations between her and her brothers.

Shaking her head Nika continued to clear the ground before joining mama at the wagon taking the tents and blankets it was going to be cold even for them with their high temperatures it was harder in human form to stay warm but the first law of the wolves forbids any wolf from changing with out the moon so not to make the humans suspicious.

Setting down the tents Nika left them for her brothers to set up while she helped mama with the lanterns blowing them out they didn't need them with their night vision but it helped with appearances. Once the tents were up she made sure to steer clear of her brothers as they went inside their own she had her own but they would growl lowly if she was even in sight. Taking her blanket she lay on the floor of her little tent sighing she closed her eyes hoping that tomorrow would be better.

….

Walking alongside the wagon Nika watched the forest around them it was cloudy but the birds and animals of the forest were still running around scavenging while they still could before winter set in that is. Tearing her eyes away from the forest she glanced at her brothers they were ahead as always but something was different they were both tense. For days now the two had been tense glaring at her more than usual though mama had given them a talking two they still did it papa didn't say anything thinking that she should handle it herself like a wolf should but something told her that a direct confrontation should be avoided at all costs she was still a pup even in wolf form she was barely up to Lukyan's chest and they had more experience in fighting adding that to their height and strength they would kill her in a fight.

"Nika come here"

Blinking Nika hadn't realized she had stopped walking running she caught up with mama who put an arm around her seeming to sense her dread. Mama glanced at the boys before leaning close to nika.

"pup you must not let yourself be caught alone there are worse things than us out there"

"mama what could be worse than us?"

"not many but know that there are worse things like trolls and golems they can kill a grown wolf with their hands if they were to catch you "

"that is why I am fast mama"

Listening to her mama laugh Nika almost forgot her brothers hatred, loving how her mama squeezed her playfully before continuing.

"you are my pup but trolls are not all that can scare us wolves , tell me what is worse than a troll?"

Nika paused thinking biting her lip she turned back to her mama hoping her answer would be right.

"witches?"

"yes they are dangerous creatures witches especially dark ones the magic in their blood can turn even the strongest of us creatures in to their slaves the trolls have it worst since they are weakest of will but we are not that far behind them , wolves can be reduced to simple guard dogs if you let them"

"but we would put up a good fight, right mama?"

"yes pup we would"

"mama stop filling her head with false hope if a witch were to find her she wouldn't stand a chance " muttered Lukyan

"If she were to survive the encounter that is " spat Andrei

"hush, neither of you have ever been any where near a witch you do not know what the witches authority feels like" it almost scared Nika to hear her mama's soft voice turn so cold. The boys looked back in shock thrown off by her sudden change in mood they knew very little about their mother's life before she met and mated to their papa.

"mama how do you know so much?" Nika's innocent curiosity made her mama smile.

" I traveled to many places before I met your papa I learned from the people and creatures I met along the way "

"did you make many friends?"

Nika couldn't help but ask , the life of a wolf was very solitary except for when they found their mate then they would try to find a place that would be safest to raise pups till then they were very much alone.

" I had some here and there I remember a woman I met while I was deep in Germany , she was kind and offered me help when others who could tell what I was would not offer such a kindness"

"mama are we not in Germany?"

"yes we are but we will be leaving soon to go back home your uncles wish to meet with papa about something and you get to see your cousins "

"great now the rest of the family will get to see us still with out packs of our own" muttered Andrei sending an icy glare to Nika sighing she looked at her feet.

"you are not the first to have this happen to you Andrei your father had the same thing happen to him and he has twelve brothers and sisters he was the fifth" mama met her sons glare with one of her own making him look away. While alphas could enforce order and make their authority known with words it was a mama wolf who could silence any alpha with a glance and they all knew it.

The distant sounds of a crowded village caught Nika's attention the laughter of children , merchants trying to make a deal, the thundering of horse hooves on the frosted ground. The village itself was maybe a mile away probably closer but Nika wasn't all that good with telling distances yet when it came to her hearing.

" is there a town near by?"

"yes but we have to keep going the sooner we get home the sooner I can see your uncles" called papa from his place at the lead the horses reigns in his hand.

"can't we stop for a while papa it's has been long time since me and Lukyan went in to a village" asked Andrei.

"no we have to keep going" papa's tone left nothing up for discussion.

" you let us last time"

"No"

Andrei growled lowly

"growling will get you nowhere pup" called papa

"then what would either way I'm stuck"

"don't even start Andrei it will only lead to me giving you another lesson now keep walking" ordered papa

Andrei had a scowl upon his face till they were well away from the village they had made good time it seems till the sun was gone. The forest was pitch black the sounds of the horses and the squeaking of the wagon were the only sounds for miles it was making her nervous she didn't like this one bit.

"mama…"

"hush"

"mama something's not right"

"shh"

The wagon came to a stop the air was frosty but the scent was unmistakable they had entered another packs territory. The boys growled turning to the trees around them Nika didn't have to ask to know that they weren't alone anymore it was almost suffocating. Surrounded. They were surrounded the scent of the other wolves was over powering. it must have been a large pack to have them completely trapped.

"what have we here?" a tall blonde haired man stepped out of the trees his eyes went from papa and the boys to Nika and mama.

"we're just traveling well be gone by morning" called papa his eyes never leaving the other alpha.

"who said you would be leaving?"

"look we don't want any trouble we just want to go through the woods this is the only road out of the forest that leads to my home lands" papa's voice gave nothing away.

"well I cant have you leaving with out some kind of payment" the alphas eyes never left Nika and her mama his eyes held nothing good it was papa's growl that drew the alpha's attention.

"it would be best if you didn't stare at my mate and pup" his voice held a fierce warning

"well your not leaving till I get some kind of payment" chuckled the alpha

"then you best look else where cause you so much as touch my family and you'll lose a hand if your lucky" growled papa

Nika felt her own wolf stir a challenge might be taking place soon if that alpha's not careful he could end up dead. The growls around them made her eyes dart to the trees around them this was bad they had no clue how many wolves there were and with her still a pup she would be of little use. She might be fast but she couldn't fight full grown wolves.

"oh come now we can work something out?"

"No" papa rumbled clenching his hands.

"have it your way " chuckled the blonde alpha.

It took only a moment for all hell to break loose papa was the first to erupt taking on two wolves his black fur stood out among the light brown and grey pelts, he kicked the first one in the snout while jumping on to the back of the second wrapping his arms around its snout crushing it between his arms. The boys had destroyed their clothes jumping into the fight their black and brown fur barely visible in the fray.

Mama was next to shift Nika followed her lead while mama fought them head on Nika attacked from the side charging in to claw at their bellies or sides then retreating to mama's side till another attacked. They were all too busy fighting to notice the blonde alpha making his way to Nika and mama it wasn't till Nika felt sharp teeth grab the back of her neck. Letting out a loud yelp she wiggled and twisted yelping each time she felt his teeth dig deeper. she didn't care she had to break free if she let herself go limp she would be forfeit and by custom the wolf that submitted was the property of the victor.

The alpha started to shake her violently trying to get her to submit still she cried out and twisted she could feel him dragging her away from the others but the truth is what was four wolves to a pack of a dozen ?

The back of her neck was killing her she let out a howl as she felt her skin tearing something was flowing from her shoulders and by the smell of iron it wasn't the alphas spit. Pulling away as hard as she could she felt the pain of her fur being torn till she was free of his hold, spinning around she slashed his snout before scrambling away she ran as fast as her paws could carry her back to the sounds of the other wolves fighting she had to see if her family was even still alive.

Making it to the road she found her brothers still fighting though both were currently being held down by the forest pack , they were trying to make them submit. Charging forward she slammed the closest one with her shoulder , catching them by surprise they let go giving Lukyan a chance to attack the surprised wolf biting in to the wolfs throat with a harsh yank he ripped out the wolfs throat leaving it to die while he helped Andrei with his own problem.

Looking around she noticed that none of the wolves were her parents. Papa had been in his human form but mama had taken no chances and was her wolf last Nika had seen her. Whining she looked to her brothers for guidance Lukyan was sitting back on his haunches his muzzle covered in blood he wasn't looking at her in fact he seemed to be looking away. Confused she padded up to him whining a little trying to catch his attention. Andrei growled at her making her ears go flat she backed away in fear.

What was going on?

Where were mama and papa?

Looking around once more she spotted what was left of her mama's dress padding over she sniffed it hoping to find some kind of trail. Andrei's growl made her flinch picking up the dress in her mouth she backed away still her brother advanced she stumbled over something quickly regaining her balance she glanced down to see what had made her almost fall only jump back in horror. Papa. The man's black fur was unmistakable his throat and chest had been clawed out leaving nothing but a gaping hole. If her papa was dead then who is to say mama wasn't dead too.

Throwing back her head she let out a gut wrenching howl she felt nothing but sorrow her papa was dead and her mama was missing. She noticed that her brothers didn't join her in howling no they were already back to their human form getting their clothes from the wagon.

She just couldn't get it how could they be so calm mama and papa were gone they had no one now.

"Nika I suggest you leave now because come morning if your still here I'll run you out myself if that alpha doesn't take you first" called Andrei

"Andrei hold on at least give her a sack so she can take some of her things "protested Lukyan from his place in the wagon.

"fine "

Andrei grabbed the pack and started shoving her clothes in to it Nika just stood there her ears back in utter shock and disbelief. How could they do this they were family , all she had left and they were leaving her you fend for herself she was just a pup.

"here"

Andrei threw the bag at her paws turning away he climbed into the back of the wagon. Nika couldn't understand she whined she was going to follow when a growl tore through Andrei making her freeze the look on her brothers face made her tremble she had seen many of his glares and sneers but this was a look that made her blood run cold.

"if I were you Nika I would run, mama isn't here to stop me from killing you " Andrei rumbled

Shaking in fear she felt something hit her shoulder making her yelp jumping back she grabbed the bag racing away she had no idea where she was running but she had to get away. Andrei would follow through with his warning she was alone now.
