I storm into a guest room where I kept extra clothes just in case something like this would happen. I open the closet and take out my shorts and my sports bra.

"Brody can you come out with me and train?" I ask him while I was changing. I waited for a few seconds but there was no answer from him. It was 1am so I assumed he was sleeping. So I tried Jacob next.

"Are you free right now?" I ask. I made my way out of the house and stood in the freezing night. It was a mistake to wear shorts. I brought my wolf forward to warm me up a bit.

"Yeah you need anything?" His voice asked in my head. I sat down in the grass and let out a sigh.

"You want to come out and train a bit?" I ask him. He's silent for a few seconds then I get a response from him.

"Yeah just give me a few minutes to get ready," he said.

"Oh can you also get me a sweatshirt I'm kinda cold. I picked the wrong outfit for tonight," I ask him. A cool breeze hit me face on and I shiver slightly.

"Yeah I'll bring one over," he said. I thank him and lay down in the grass. The dirt was cold but it felt nice. The stars scattered the sky but there were clouds hiding half of them.

Suddenly, I felt a soft cloth fall on my face. It was drowned in Titus' scent. I picked it off my face and saw Jacob standing over me.

"I brought Titus' sweatshirt because I don't think he'll be happy if he smelled my scent on you," he said. I nod and put it on and it instantly warmed me up.

"So why are you awake at 1Am?" He asks. I shrug and he helps me up from the ground. I wipe the grass of my back.

"I think the better question is why you're awake at this time," I said. He shrugs and gives a light smile.

"I always do this. I always think about the life I could've had with my mate," he whispers. Sadness glazed over his eyes and I give him a big hug.

"She doesn't deserve you. You deserve so much more than her," I whisper into his chest. Jacob is such a great guy and when Isabella rejected him, she made the biggest mistake of her life.

"Hey the Moon Goddess gave me Titus after Terry rejected me. Your second chance mate is somewhere out there. You just have to find her," I said. He nods and sniffs a little. A guy who can protect someone and still show emotions.

"So do you want to get going?" He asks. I nod and I hear cracking come from his body and he turned into his beautiful gray wolf that glistened in the moon light.

"Climb on. My wolf won't bite," his voice said in my head. I could see his wolf give a little smirk. I roll my eyes and climb onto his back carefully.

The second both of my legs were off the ground, his wolf speed off already. The force of the movement almost knocked me to the ground.

"Could you slow down a bit?" I laugh as I watch the trees go by in a flash. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held on just in case.

"Nope," he said. I could basically see his smile as he said that. I looked up and saw a snowflake fall from the sky. It became a small flurry on the forest floor.

I saw the familiar sign that marked the restricted area and saw two guards as we pass by, I think. They were just kind of two blurs because Jacob was going so fast.

He came to the slow trot and I rolled off his back and laid on the cool leaves on the floor and let the snow fall on my face.

I heard Jacob's bones crack into place and he put his clothes on. I sit up and grab the tree to help me up.

"I can't do this after 2 weeks," I said balancing myself. Soon I will start showing because werewolf pregnancy is only 5 months. In 2 weeks it'll mark a month.

"Well let's make this worth it," he said. He led us to the cleared area with no trees but leaves still scattered the area. There were punching bags hanging on trees.

"Pick one and have your go on it because I sure can't fight you since your pregnant," he said. I gasp and laugh.

"I can't believe I have special treatment just because I'm pregnant," I laugh. He rolls his eyes and smiles. I chose the punching bag that looked the less worn out. It had a few holes here and there but it wasn't as bad as the other ones. Jacob chose the punching bag across from mine and started going at it.

I get ready to start letting my anger out but then I saw red eyes that pierced my memory a few hours before. They came closer to me and I saw his terrible smile. He pounced on me and my back slammed onto the ground and he was right on top of me. I let out a yelp and I heard movement from behind me.

I moved my head backwards and saw Jacob held against a tree by another rouge I've never seen before.

"Sophia get out of here," he growled. He try to push the rouge from off of him but he was too strong.

"Oh Sophia how I've missed you," he said. His claw trailed my neck. I was terrified but I couldn't show it. Rule 1 of training, don't let opponents see your weakness or they can use it against you.

"Sophia," Jacob roared. He managed to get a hand free and grabbed the rouge's neck and lifted him in the air. Two more rouges came out from the woods and held him back to the tree. His eyes were a bright golden in opposed to green eyes.

"Oh Sophia you should really control your Gamma," he said pressing his claws to my neck. I've seen him long enough to know his tricks.

"You won't hurt him," I say giving him a sly smile. He pushed his claws deeper into my neck. Not breaking skin but almost.

"And why is that?" he questioned.

"Because if you do, I'm not going with you willingly," I said. "And if you take me against my will, I'll make my living hell yours." There was a large roar that shook the trees in the distance. He loosed his claws from my neck and growled. I let out a gasp and scoot away from him.

"Two weeks. You have two weeks to say goodbye to everyone you love and then your ours," he said backing into the darkness.

"Why did he send you Josh," I said his name with distaste. "Why didn't Adrian just come and take me himself?"

"He's with Delphine setting your cell up," he smiled and he took his rouge pose and left. Jacob let out a growl and punched a dent in the tree.

"I'm going after them," he growled ripping his shirt off. I hold his arm and shake my head.

"You won't find them. Take a second, calm down, and try to find their scent. You can't," I said. I heard him steady his heart rate but then I heard the crunching of leaves and a heavy breathing in the distance.

"You linked Titus?" I ask him he nods and I let out a groan. He's already so stressed out about everything I don't need him to be stressed out even more.

I heard bone cracking and Titus cane out of the shadows with shorts on. Thank god.

"What the he'll happened here," he growled. Jacob explained what happened and he violently started shaking.

"Why would you come out here while your pregnant?" He scolded me. I rolled my eyes and stormed off into the woods.

"Sophia get back here," he growled.

"Yeah cause growling will totally make me feel better. I'm not someone you can just push around. If you want to order me around make me an omega and maybe I'll listen. I have two weeks left before I can either give myself to them or let you all suffer. I know you know which one I'll choose so maybe having my mate just there next to me while I can would be nice. But you decided to boss me around so I'll just go now," I finish.

I bring more wolf forward slightly and jump up onto a low hanging branch and swing myself up the tree. I hear Titus' calls for me but I didn't listen. I swung myself all the way up and sat on the sturdiest branch I could find. I could see our house and the pack house from here.

Why did I have to be the one the Moon Goddess chose? Why couldn't I have a normal life where I lived happily with my mate? Why does everyone want to hunt me down?

I wiped a stray tear from my cheek and let out a soft sniffle. The snow landed softly on my body and since I was up high, it was a bit chilly. I steadied myself and leaned back on the trunk of the tree and drifted into sleep.

I wake up but I was no longer in the tree but it also didn't feel like I was on the ground. I was standing on what felt like clouds. I couldn't see my feet because there was some form of mist over it. The sky was not blue but more like a pastel pink.

"Why am I here?" I whisper to myself.

"Why dear child, you're here to talk to me." A lady came out of the mist and she emitted a lot of power. I've never felt anything like this. Then it hit me. She was the Moon Goddess. I lower my head quickly in submission.

"You don't need to bow to me Sophia. You're my helper," she said. I look up and nod.

"Why am I here?" I ask her. She shrugs and gives me a smile my mom would give me.

"What is my purpose as your helper?" I ask her.

"I can only do so much to help the werewolf world. A lot of people don't follow to their fate and that causes separation in the world. So while I'm up here, your job is to keep peace in the world where I can't," she says. I let that sink in for a minute then nod.

"Am I my parents daughter?" I ask.

"That's something you have to ask them yourself," she says. "It's time for you to leave Sophia."

My vision goes dark then I wake up again. On top of the tree.
