Rae

Wild tawny hair, golden skin and large dark eyes.

I am my mother's daughter, a lover of meat boys. That is all people saw me as. The only quality of my father the pack saw in me was the fact I had leader like qualities. Everyone believed that after my father and mother, I would be next with Jack by my side.

Jack was a strong, but an arrogant jackass. Well, perhaps not that bad, I used to like him, but that was a long time ago.

As in before, he became the candy of every female's eyes in the pack.

Before he got such a big head.

Finally, before he knew that he has more than secured his place as the next leader, with me as his mate. Once that happened, that's all I will be seen as, his mate.

However, after today, people will realize I was more, much more.

"What you running from Rae?" someone howled after me, but I didn't have to look back to know who it was. Then again, I didn't care who it was, I just had to get away from home just to get some peace and quiet. I needed to think this over.

Maybe I could go to Blake's house?

No, not yet. My father would expect me to go there. Instead, I'd go to my special hideout in the forest right next to the inn.

Our inn.

The pack's inn.

Then again, my father made sure we lived right next to the National Forest in Vermont and in somewhat isolation. People knew about us, but hardly came close enough really to know us.

Well, that was until Blake came along.

Blake was a shy one, but he was a bit of a nerd when it came to otherworldly creatures. And I loved him; just as much as he loved me back.

I couldn't understand why my parents couldn't see that.

Blake loved me whether I was human or wolf, but they couldn't believe it because their own human lovers rejected their wolf form. Now, I was being punished because they couldn't believe that one person, an actual human, could fall in love with me in my other form.

If only there was, some way to prove to them that Blake was different.

But how?

"Rae!" Someone yelled after me. "Rae, stop!"

I knew that voice and I hated it.

My legs picked up speed and my arms pumped faster, so as to put a bigger distance between the person and me.

"Come on Rae, I know where you're going. Just stop." The voice was closer and was only getting closer.

"Go away, Jack," I spat over my shoulder. "Leave me alone."

Big mistake.

I should've kept running; I would've eventually out run him since I was better than he was in that area. Yet, with that small glance, he was on me in a matter of seconds, sending us both tumbling onto the forest ground.

Jack had me pinned to the ground. His well-toned body towered over mine. But, I simply rolled my eyes at him, knowing he took his shirt off for one reason.

The girls.

"Put a shirt on, Jack," I spat up at him, struggling to get out of his grasp.

"Why? I know you like it," he growled softly, a big, stupid grin on his face. I blushed; I couldn't lie, it was true, but hey, I was just a girl after all. Yet, I preferred Blake to this jackass.

Swiftly, I brought my knee up to a certain place, sending him toppling right on top of me, but I pushed him off me quickly.

I got up and began running again, but I knew he would be after me once again.

It was impossible for me to leave the one place where my kind was safe. I knew I could never really run away since everyone in the pack would only come after me. Maybe not right away, but they would come to find me not matter what. I already endangered the pack by revealing myself to Blake and running away would only worsen the matter, but I didn't care.

Not at that moment.

I needed to get away.

Far, far away.

Thank you to my two reviewers! Hope this is still a likeable story, if not, tell me what's wrong so I can improve it~ =D
