Chapter 2:

I left the general store and made my way back to my car while putting on my sun glasses. Once I got in, I started up the car and pulled outta my parking spot and was about to take off and follow the directions that Buck gave me to follow. But before I could actually take off something told me to look down the alley way I had just passed and im glad I did. I saw a couple of guys beating on someone and kicking them while they were down as well.

I couldn't just sit and watch this anymore. I put my car in park and got out and once I got out I started makin my way down the alley to where the three guys were beating on the down person. "Hey! What's going on here?!" I said getting the three assailants attention. "None of your business, so I recommend that you just turn around and leave before you get hurt." The middle guy said to me. I took a deep breath and could then tell that these three were wolf shifter from their scents but they smelled different from the guy on the ground.

"I ain't going no where 'pup' You beating on a member from a different Pack is not cool." I said which seemed to make the middle guy little upset when I called him a 'pup.' "So what, he had it coming to himself. One, he's from a rival Pack and two he's a faggot!" After he said that word I snapped and using my enhanced speed, I closed the distance between us and knocked his ass on the ground. "Wanna rephrase that ass wipe?!" I growled at him. The other two guys that were with the middle man gathered around him. "Hey Seth you alright?" The guy on the left asked "Oh man he's out cold!" the guy on the right said. "Come on let's get going. grab Seth and let's go." They grabbed him and got in a big obnoxious yellow hummer.

When they started driving away, I walked over to the guy who was on the ground and got down to roll him over onto his back. When I rolled him over I then realized who it was. 'Holy shit! It's Jed!" I bent down to him and got him into a sitting position against the wall. I then shook him a little to try to wake him up. "Hey Jed, you okay? Wake up man." I said and was happy when he groaned a little and started coming too. "What happened?" he said as he started to come to. 'Your safe now, I took care of the guys who were using you as a punching bag." I said which made the groggy Jed laugh a little. "Thanks. Who Are you?" Jed asked me. "Name's Elijah, I'm a shifter like you." I said which brought a grin to Jed's face. "Thanks, I owe you one. I have to get going now." Jed said and tried to get up but fell back against the wall.

"Easy their tough guy, let me help you. You were just used as three guys punching bag at the same time." I said to him as I looked into his emerald eyes to show him that I was there to help. Jed finally gave in and let me help him. I told him that I'd be right back and went and got my car and pulled it into the alley so I could get him into the passenger seat. Once I got him into the passenger and I got back in we took off and headed down the main road of Timber till we were leaving town. Jed then gave me directions on where to go and as he was telling me where to go, I realized that these were the same directions Buck gave me.

After driving for about thirty-minutes we came to and entrance of what looked like a camp that has been long since abandoned. "Here, take this entrance and follow the road down." Jed said and I turned my mustang down the dirt and gravel road. We continued down the road till we finally made it to the camp and were greeted by three people standing in front of what guess must have been the mess hall. I got out of the car and made my way over to the passenger side to help Jed out and back onto his feet. We were then greeted by two of I guess, Jed's Pack mates, who then helped into the mess hall to get looked at. After the two guys who took Jed went inside, the three who were on the steps made their way over towards me but stopped short.

I was a little nervous at first until the guy standing in the middle finally stuck out his hand for me to shake. "Names Colton, I'm the Alpha of this Pack. This is Trey my Beta and this is Parker, my mate." Colton said to me. I shook their hands and then turned back to Colton. "I'd also like to thank you for helping my enforcer as well." Colt said "It was no problem. Oh yeah guess i should introduce myself, my names Elijah ummm... Buck sent me here." I said to Colton which then gave Colton a surprised look. "So you're the one Buck recommended. Alright then, so according to what Buck said that you're looking for a Pack that will accept you right?" Why wouldn't other Packs take you?" Colt asked

I shifted from one foot to the other trying to think of how I should tell Colt. "Well the main reason was I'm different from most shifter out there. I'm one of the few rare one's I'm a tiger shifter but another reason was cause I'm also gay and no one wants someone like me ruining their Pack." I said with a little depression in my voice. Colt clamped a hand onto my shoulder which startled me a little cause I was expecting him to tell me to get lost but was even more surprised when he pulled me into a hug. "You don't have to worry about finding another Pack Elijah, we will take you in for you see we are not as discriminating as other Packs are." Colt said to me which filled me up with confidence. "Now, you said you're a tiger shifter right?" Colt said holding me at arm's length. "Yeah, I'm actually the only one in North America to be more exact." I said to Colt while focusing on just little things to show him I'm telling him the truth. I started to let my teeth become more feline prone and my eyes change. "I'll be damned he is a tiger shifter and I thought I'd never get to see one as Alpha." Colt said with a bit of happiness. I shifted back to my human form and then followed Colton, Trey, and Parker into the mess hall so we can discuss more.
