Those words were re playing over and over and over again in my head. When I once thought my best friend had a lovely voice that I wished i could have, i now wanted nothing more than to wipe it from my memory.

I hated myself for ever looking up to her. Hated that she has now taken the life that should have been mine!

My paws were thumping on the forest floor as I ran over fallen tree after tree. I would have to stop soon as I had been running for hours now and I knew Layla was getting tired.

''.

I slowed my pace to a soft walk until I stopped. Slumped down and panted my little heart out. I was crying, howling and completely alone. My heart was racing. Not used to running at the pace I did. I can't believe I nearly put Layla's life at risk like that.

'

I huffed and sniffed the air. I was hungry and hadn't eaten in a while. I found a deer within minutes and began making a meal of it. After finishing I looked down at what I had done in disgust and disbelief. Another reason to hate myself.

I don't remember what happened after that. I was walking slowly and aimlesssly for hours. Not really giving a care to the world and more than happy and contented to wallow in self pity. My life really was crap.

When the sun came up I decided it was best to get some sleep before walking again. I curled up to a tree and let the darkness take me.

Not very long after that I felt something wake me.

Sniffing....

The hairs on my coat stood on end. Someone was sniffing me. I cracked open my eye to see a grey small shewolf

Sniffing my face. I wasn't entirely comfortable with this. I mean, who the hell sniffs someone when their sleeping right?

Then a thought hit me. Should I let her kill me? After all, I didn't have much to live for now.

As kayla took over my body I jumped up quickly, scaring the she wolf unexpectedly. I stood my ground, beared my teeth and growled at her. She was startled but after a while she sat down on her bottom, tilted her head to the side and dropped out her tongue, all whilst wagging her tail playfully. I stopped growling, obviously puzzled by her demeanor, obviously I am doing something wrong in the wolf world as she is not scared of me at all. Is she a threat or not? She ran behind a tree and shifted.

When the girl came out she was beautiful with long waist length red hair and green eyes.

'Sorry about the whole sniffing thing, it's not often we get a rogue on our territory and I didn't know if you were a threat or not'.

Her voice held power and I knew she was a Luna. Territory? Who's pack did I fall into? Could I have been that stupid? Errr yes!

I shifted and stood up. No point in hiding myself I left with no clothes and it's not like us wolves weren't used to seeing a naked body. She smiled, walked over to me and held out her hand for me to shake.

Stupid, I nearly said stupid but stopped myself.

'My name is Violet, and I'm not a rogue... or well I wasn't until a few hours ago'..

She smiled at me.

'?

I was shocked. She was ... really nice. I haven't known anyone be that nice to me apart from Mil..... wait... dont even think of her name.

I breathed out and nodded. She started walking and I followed her as she spoke.

'How old are you if you don't mind me asking'?

'17, and you?'

'18'

She passed me some clothes she had and I put them on as we carried on our small talk all the way into the pack. I found out that she had only recently found her mate alpha Liam and that she was getting used to her luna duties. One of them being to check the pack borders for intruders like me. A few pack members nodded to her as we walked past and many sniffed my scent. Obviously worried for their luna but saw me as no threat. A few of them smiled and said hello to me and I couldn't help but be in shock by how accommodating everyone was.

A moment later a guy was running towards us whom I pressumed to be Liam from the worried look on his face. He was built exactly like Demitri, a true Alpha warrior. Only he had short blonde hair and green eyes that matched Anya's. He was tanned however, whereas, Anya was like a Porcelain doll.

As soon as he reached us he growled in warning to me to back off from his mate. She stepped In front of me and spoke.

'Honey, be nice to our guest. This is Violet and she will be staying with us for a while, I found her on the border and she needs some help that's all'.

Her voice was like honey and it was clear to see the power she had over her mate. He was enthralled by her completely.

He turned his face to me and asked me why I had entered his pack without permission. I didnt give too many details as I didnt know these people, but I did say I lost my mind after being rejected by my mate and made the colossal mistake of entering their pack without permission due to being blinded by my recent rejection. He bought it. Well hey, I'm not lying here and it's not like anyone would lie or joke about that. Rejection was very taboo in our world. It simply didn't happen very often but when it did, everyone was sympathetic to the injured wolf. He looked at me with sympathy along with Anya and a few of the pack members around who had also over heard the conversation. There was one guy in particular who stood out and caught my attention. He stood behind the Alpha and didn't take his eyes off me. It was a little unnerving. He was good looking ofcourse. All werewolf males were blessed with good gene's but I felt like his attentions were of a different kind. One I was not used too and not that of a potential friend but as a suitor.

Alpha Liam looked to see who I was looking at. Slapping the guy hard on the shoulder with a friendly smile he said

'Ahhh this is Alec, my beta and second in command. There Is no one else I would trust more In this world, second only to my mate of course'.

Liam looked at Anya when he spoke and she giggled.

'Let's go inside Vi,... wait can I call you Vi?... I nodded and she looked pleased by this.

Maybe just maybe I could be happy again in some small way. I could already see that Anya and I would be good friends. But how long could I stay here before I was unwelcome?
