Chapter One

TalenPOV

"Talen hurry up!" Allison exclaimed from her room. I chuckled and made my way to her room.

"What's up sis?" I ask, already knowing the answer.

"I don't know what to wear!" she groaned, collapsing on her bed, crumpling the sheets of the newly made bed. I chuckle again and made my way to her still packed boxes. We had just arrived in Beacon Hills on Friday and the only object unpacked of Allison's belongings was her laptop. Typical Allison, she always waits a few days before even starting to unpack. Then again who could blame her, what the point in unpacking everything just to pack it up again a few months later?

"What about this?" I smirk as I hold up the clothes I selected. Allison slowly turned her head towards me, eyeing the garments in my hands. In an instant she grins and tackles me with a hug.

"Thank you! I owe you, big time!"

I grin at her as I say,

"I know you do." I laugh as Allison rushes to the bathroom and make my way back to my room. Seeing as I woke up early this morning, all I had left to do was sort out my bag. Having an internal alarm clock has its benefits.

As I make my way downstairs, my dad walks out of the living room and into the kitchen. I follow him in and he turns to smile at me,

"Hey sweetie, are you looking forward to school?"

I look at him and raise an eyebrow, smirking as I say,

"Really dad, 'are you looking forward to school?'"

He laughs then smiles softly at me before offering a bowl of cereal. I accept it happily as I make us some coffee. Once the coffee is ready I pour it into two mugs and hand one to Dad. He thanks me and smiles before a serious expression dawns on his face.

"Talen, the Hunters and I are going to patrol the woods tonight."

I nod in acknowledgement as I finish my cereal and ask him,

"Do you need any help?"

"No, it's just to makes sure the area is clear. I wanted to tell you so you didn't go running tonight and end up with an arrow in your shoulder. Also, I want you to watch over Allison, make sure she doesn't go exploring the woods just yet." He says, concern laced through his words at the thought of Allison in danger or hurt.

Hurt like I had once been.

Flashback – Talen age 6, Allison age 5

"Allison!" I giggle as I see the top of her head sticking out of the bushes. I slowly creep up behind her and pounce,

"Found you!" I scream then start to run.

Allison jumps and turns around wide eyed, when she notices me running away she starts to run after me. We race around the garden till we're out of breath then sitting on the ground to rest. As I look up from the grass at my little sister's face, I notice someone standing at the tree line of the woods at the bottom of the garden, watching us. An uneasy felling settled in my stomach, he was a bad man. I could feel it.

The bad man started to come closer.

"Allison, run inside and get mommy, tell her theirs a man in the garden."

As Allison runs off, the man starts to walk faster. I turn around to run only to find that the man is in front of me. How did he get to me so fast? As I let out a scream the man grabs me and begins to pull me towards the woods. I start to fight back, kicking and screaming with all my might…then all I saw was darkness.

I woke up, only to find myself chained to the wall by my leg, preventing any chance of escape. I yanked on the chain with all my strength but it was no use. A throaty chuckle made its way through the room. I looked up to see the man who had taken me, along with six others standing slightly behind him, three on each side.

"Well look who decided to wake up."

I shuddered; his voice was deep and scratchy as if in desperate need of a drink. I didn't like his voice. He smiled at me, though supposed to appear pleasant was more sinister.

"Who are you?" I ask, my voice trembling slightly. As he starts to walk towards me, I whimper faintly making him pause before continuing his approach.

"My name is Michael and this is my family. This is Stephanie, Alex, Patrick, Matthew, Nicole and Heath."

As he says their names, they respond by grinning menacingly at me.

"What do you want?" I ask hoping that I could go home soon.

"Well, your dad hurt someone very close to me, someone I cared deeply for. Now, I want him to feel what I felt when something precious is taken from him. That something precious being you." Michael grins as he finishes his explanation and I begin to realise that maybe I won't be going home after all.

End Flashback

I was held captive for almost two weeks before my dad and Aunt Kate found their hideout and rescued me. Unfortunately, they were too late. During the fight, Michael retreated back into my cell and pulled me up from the floor, biting into the flesh of my neck before my dad shot him in head.

Two weeks later, I transformed and experienced my first full moon as a werewolf.

Though it was decided centuries ago that if a Hunter is bit they must be killed, my family couldn't do it. I was only a child and was technically not a Hunter yet. Even Aunt Kate protested on my behalf. So, instead of killing me, they trained me. I was taught the ways of the Hunters and the Code and also how to control my wolf, especially on the full moon. Soon, I became an asset to the family and was allowed to assist the hunting groups at fourteen.

However, soon after I turned fifteen. Something else happened that changed everything.

I became an Alpha.

Flashback – Talen age 15

"Mom, Dad! I'm home!" I shout as I enter the house. I received no reply and made my way into the kitchen. They must be in the garage.

Ten minutes past and they still hadn't made an appearance. I called out again in question, still no reply. Something wasn't right. Slowly, I entered the living room, shocked at the site before me.

My mom, dad and Aunt Kate were each tied to a chair with tape over their mouths. I ran than over to them and began to untie them when the front door open then closed with a resounding thud. I quickly got up and ran to hide behind the curtain.

Footsteps echoed through the house, growing louder as the mysterious stranger grew closer. I unsheathed my blade from its hiding place in my boot as the stranger entered the room.

"Still no sign of your daughter Talen then?" A smooth voice reached my ears and I peered round the curtain to identify the unknown man.

He looked about 6'1" with short blonde hair, medium build and appeared to be in his mid to late thirties. Other than his height, he wasn't overly frightening.

Until I saw his eyes, glowing red as he moved closer to my family. He was an Alpha.

"Maybe I should just kill one of you now and then when she arrives home, let her decide which of you to save." He grinned, revealing his elongated canines. The man moved towards Aunt Kate and removed the tape from her mouth.

"Kate, how lovely it is to see you again."

"Wish I could say the same Nathan."

The man, Nathan, laughs then grabs her by the neck, squeezing on her throat slightly making her choke.

"You took everything from me. My wife, my brother and my nephew, now… you will feel the pain inflicted upon me by your family."

During his speech, he turned his head towards my dad whilst releasing his hold on Aunt Kate, leaving no doubt who he was speaking to.

"They were monsters, killing innocent people for the fun of it." Aunt Kate spat out only to be backhanded by Nathan.

"Quiet! I don't care what they did! They were my life and you took them from me. Just like I will take yours, at least you won't have to live through the pain."

He raised his arm above his head, claws drawn, ready to deliver a killing blow. As he brought his arm down, I ran from behind the curtain and raised my blade in rage. The blade sliced through the flesh of his back just before his hand was about to make contact with my Aunts body. A piercing scream filled the room, Nathan turned towards me, eyes flashing red as he removed the blade from his back.

"Now this is a surprise, Chris… you never mentioned your daughter was home."

Before I could even think about moving out of the way, he slammed into me causing me to fly back into the wall then fall to the floor, shards of glass raining down upon me from the mirror I made contact with.

"Talen!" shouted Aunt Kate as she fought against the restraints. I looked towards my mother and my dad. My dad was fighting against his restraints also and my mother was looking at me with tears in her eyes.

My mother never cried.

A sudden surge of anger coursed through me and I felt my canines and claws lengthen. My vision tinged red, instinct taking over.

Protect. Kill the threat.

I charged at Nathan, tackling him to the ground. Straddling him, I swipe at his face repeatedly. Claws slicing through flesh, blood spraying onto my face. It doesn't matter; I have to destroy the threat.

As I continue my attack, he kicks me off sending me back onto the couch. He picks me up by the throat and growls at me, expecting me to stand down. I feign defeat and slump down to appear submissive.

Nathan smirks then releases his hold on me and turns to my parents.

"Your eldest daughter is a werewolf? Ha! Your family is just way down on their luck aren't they?" He mocks.

"Tell me, how does it feel to have a daughter that is the very thing you call a monster?"

As he continues to taunt them, I slowly make my way towards him, appearing injured. When within a few feet of the sadistic Alpha, I straightened my stance and dropped my submissive stance.

Distracted by his gloating, he didn't even see me coming as I leapt on to his back and tore out his throat with my teeth.

Blood spurted everywhere and he dropped to the floor dead. I undid my parents and Aunt Kate's bindings, looking at the floor all the while.

A surge of power and strength entered me as I killed Nathan. The urge to howl was overwhelming but I restrained myself. I knew what was happening to me.

"Talen, sweetie?" my mother asked. I slowly raised my head to look at her and she gasped. I looked at my dad who wore a mask of solemnity then to my Aunt Kate who looked at me with pride.

Slowly, I turned to face the mirror which had unfortunately been smashed in the fight. I looked at my appearance in one of the shards of glass that remained on the wall.

My face was smeared with blood, some my own but most of it Nathans. My hair hung limply drenched also in blood, clumps of hair sticking together as the blood begins to dry. However, the blood didn't concern me, it would be easily removed with a long hot shower and some soap. What did concern me though was something that could never be erased, that would forever remind me that I'm a murderer.

The glowing red that my eyes now possessed.

The eyes of an Alpha.

End Flashback

I was roused from my memories by the appearance of Allison as she made her way down the stairs. I get up to make her a cup of coffee whilst she gets her cereal. I place it in front of her and smile which she returns in kind. As she finishes her cereal, I stand up and put my bag on my back.

"Well, I'm going to get off to school, can't be late for my first day. See you there sis."

"Wait. We'll go out with you." Dad said as he stood up from the kitchen table and Allison followed suit.

We made our way outside and I got on my motorbike as my dad starts the car, or tries to anyway. He groans and gets back out of the car, popping the hood.

"Everything okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, this is just going to take a while. Just go on ahead and tell the Principal the situation."

"Okay, bye." I put on my helmet and start up the bike. I drive off towards Beacon Hills High School for my first day of my senior year.

I have a feeling it's going to be an interesting day today.

There it is, Chapter One! Review please, opinions welcome!
