Chapter 8: Running with a Pack

That night I really couldn't sleep. I kelp reliving the night when Jacob died and when I almost died. So when Da came back to see me I had bags under my eyes and red eyes from the times I woke up crying. Da cheeked my rubs and they were healed.

"So kid how are you?"

I looked up at him.

"I'll live."

Dam my voice sounded awful. He pulled me into a hug.

"After tonight I be going back home. If you ever need me or come and see me."

I nodded as I got up and looked for something to eat. He had food so we ate quietly.

"If you going to stay here you going to need a car so you don't have to walk ever where." I nodded I didn't tell hi that I did have a motorcycle but I need to pull it out of my bag. "I have to go but be at the house around 5 so when its time we all can leave for the hunt." I nodded, Then he left so I got up and walked to the bathroom to take a hot shower. It felt so good I was in there for a hour. There was nothing to do here. So I pulled out a toy motorcycle, put it on the ground. So it could grow to its full size. Putting on a helmet I kicked it to life. Then headed for Bran's house. There was some wolver there already. I parked next to Da's car. As I was about to knock Bran opened the door.

"Good you're here."

His voice wasn't friendly.

"Follow me please."

All I could do was to obey. The only thoughts was going through my head was:

Dam you Leah! What did you say now to get me into trouble?

Bran went up stairs to his study and I followed him. I could smell Leah close by that bitch. I closed the door as I walked into the room. Bran walked to his desk sat down then looked at him. I stood were I was not moving a muscle. Waiting for him to speak.

"Most of my wolfs don't want you to hunt with us to night."

He said in a low voice. I could understand that with Leah telling very one I'm fucking every wolf (by now) in Bran's pack.

"I could go away from were your pack hunts and hunt alone?"

I offered. He closed his eyes.

"That would be good but we run all over Aspen Creek."

I see.

"Will I could just move out of your way when you come to close?"

Bran looked up.

"Why would you do that?"

I know what he's doing.

"Cause I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. Besides its just one night. I be gone before the sun comes up."

Bran looked at me. He wouldn't have me in his pack anymore. But there was the rules will he let me break them. So he doesn't have to take care of wolf craze for sex.

"If I let you go will you stay away from the wolfs?"

I looked him in the eyes and nodded. Will I hoped it was in his eyes with contacts on its hard to see.

"Yes I will try to stay away but there might be times when a wolf pack will move to the place I'm at and then I have to leave."

He nodded.

"If you try then I be happy to let you go."

I nodded then turned to leave. I didn't say anything till I got to the door.

"Will it be alright to leave now?"

He got up.

"You may start you hunt now but before sun up tomorrow you can leave."

I nodded and walked out of the study.

I was in the room that Bran let me used. I phase as fast as I could. But be for that I was out side getting my motorcycle. I had all my stuff from the motel in my bag. When I was done phasing I picked up my bag and walked out of the room.

Bran was waiting for me to let me out. He took me to the back door and opened it for me. I walked out of the house then took off running.

I ran as fast as I could. Kicking up snow as I ran for the lake. The wind was telling me there was danger here. But I could take care of my self. I found a place to put my bag up for the night. Then I started to sniff around till I found the trail of a deer.

I followed it for a hour then I attacked snapping its neck so it wouldn't feel any pain. I started to eat when a regular wolf pack come across me looking hungry. I let them eat with me. They didn't seem to mind me that made me happy.

I could stay a wolf for the rest of my live. When we were done we left. They wanted me to run with them for a while so I did. Then I heard Bran and his pack howl. It was time for there hunt. I stayed away form them Bran wouldn't know I was running with a real wolf pack.

But was we ran I caught the scent of werewolf's but they weren't in Bran's pack. Was this the danger the sprites was trying to tell me about. I turned around and the alpha for the packed looked at me.

I told him that the other pack was in danger and I had to help them. He nodded is head once and took off with his own family. I followed there scent but then a howl of pain split the night air.

They were attacking Bran and the rest. I let the sister wolf take over and was we ran. I made it to the lake were there were fighting.

Up on the rock were I looked down to see a huge number of wolfs fighting to the death. Bran was in trouble he had four wolfs on him. I didn't stop to think I jumped and landed on one of the wolfs crushing its skull. The other wolfs left Bran and came after me.

I was use to fighting like this. I knew what to do. I ripped out one other there throats but as I turned to see was happing a huge wolf came and hit me so hard.

I was sent flying into the lack. All I could smell it was Leah. I hit the water hard the air was knocked out of me. I hear Da's painful howl of just losing his daughter.

I started to sink to the bottom of the lake. I could still hear Da's voice in my head.

Not my daughter! You will die for this Leah!

Then Bran's voice came into my head as while.

Daughter? What do you mean Daughter?

I hit the bottom of the lake. I was in pain to move. Then a light come out of nowhere. Then mothers voice was talking to me.

My sweet little wolf don't give up on your life. You have so much to live for.

I thought.

If that is true then why am I treated like this? After you, Jacob and the baby died I have nothing.

I wanted to cry but I didn't.

My daughter you still have your father who loves you so much and a uncle and a grandfather now. They love you.

I gave a laugh in my head.

I know father loves me but uncle and both grandfathers don't love me. Father as a new family and soon he will not want anything to do with me!

She let out a sad sigh.

My daughter they will love you sooner or later. And you father would never do that to you. You need to start letting people into your heart again. If not you will start to be like Ray.

I growled at his name.

I will never be like that monster! NEVER!

She smiled at me.

That's my girl now get up. You father is going craze. You need to go back up now. Remember that I love you Tega.

The she left and I opened my eyes. I swam to the suffuse I was on the other side of the lake. I could hear Da and Bran fighting. Da wants to try and save me but Bran is trying to reason with him. I limped in the snow back over to them.

There was a lot of dead wolf who was turning back into there human forms. Among them was Leah with her throat ripped out. I wish it was me that did that. None of the other wolfs saw me. Da was going craze so I ran and knocked him off his paws.

But was I did that I lost my footing and fell on top of him. It took him a second to see it was me. He jumped up and started to sniff me and lick my face.

I was into much pain to push him away. Bran looked at me with disbelieve in his eyes. Then his voice was in my head.

How are you alive you been under the water for a long time?

I looked at him.

I can hold y breath for a long time.

He took a step closer to me but Da got in front of me so did Asil.

But werewolf's cant swim we sink.

I closed my eyes and started to shake. Da and Asil laid beside me trying to keep me warm.

I can swim. My mother could swim so could I.

He was about to say something but Da cut in.

Da you can talk to her later lets get everyone back to the house.

Bran knew he was right and we all headed back to the house.

After everyone was back to there human forms and fed. Bran sat next to me.

"When we first met and started talking. You were talking about us weren't you?"

I looked at him but as I did that Da was fix my rubs again. So I made a small whimpering sound. Charles and Anna just got back from there trip a few hours ago. The all looked at me.

"Yes I was."

I gritted my teeth as he had to re-brake my rubs.

"Why didn't you tell me before? I feel so bad about believing what Leah said."

I closed my eyes to fight back a snarl.

"Cause I didn't want you to think I came here for something. I just wanted to leave and be forgotten about. But Da needed to know the truth so I told him when we went to the clinic." Charles looked at me.

"I don't say this much but I'm sorry for how I treated you."

I didn't even bother to open my eyes.

"I'm use to being treated like this. That's why I stay away from wolfs."

They had hurt face's on when I opened my eyes. All I could do was think;

Good I hope you feel terrible about what you did.

Letting a sigh of relief when Da was done and sat next to me. I put my head on his shoulder. Anna was giving off Omega power that made them all look at her (besides me). "What's wrong Anna?"

Charles said lovingly.

"Its that I feel so bad about what Leah said about her. I knew I shouldn't listen to her but. . ."

She didn't finish what she was saying. I slowly got up and every one looked at me. I limped to the caner to find me something to snake on. But as I was limping over to the cabinets I slipped on some water. I was waiting for the impacted of the floor but it never came. I opened my eyes to see Asil holding me up.

"Thank you."

I said softly putting my head down so he wound see my face turn pink.

"Your welcome."

He said just a softly. My wolf purred at his touch but growled when he let go of me. "Why are you still here Asil?"

Bran said. I found some chips and with Asil's help me back to my seat.

"I wanted to make sure you were ok my friend."

I didn't get what was going on. Da knew that I didn't know and whispered very softly that if he didn't have this mouth next to my ear I wouldn't have heard him say.

"Da killed Leah for pushing you into the lake. After he found out that you are his granddaughter."

I nodded. So Bran would kill his mate for trying to kill me? I couldn't see that I'm not worth it. Bran looked at me is if he knew what I was just thinking.

"You are worth it Tega. You are my only living grandchild."

I felt my face grow hot.

"No I'm not. If I wasn't here then none of this would have happened."

Da pulled me into a hug.

"You are worth it Tega."

I smiled as tears ran down my face.

They love me they really love me. . .
