I've been running for over three hours now. Leaving my old pack is one of the hardest things to do. Even worst when you grew up there, but my old pack's Alpha wasn't the best. Sure its not his fault, but I couldn't stay there. About eight years ago our pack was attacked by another pack. Our Luna was killed in the process. She died saving some of the children. I was with those kids. We we're all inside the pack house when the door was kicked open. We heard the other wolves and when we smelled that they weren't from our pack, we ran for it. We ran into the forest thinking it would be a great place to hide. Sadly we we're far from right. The wolves backed us up against a tree. I was the oldest and all the kids looked up to me, but I was afraid and didn't know what to do. I started screaming when one growled at me. Soon all of the kids did the same thing. We thought for sure we we're going to die. Then our Luna came in knocking them away from us. She attacked with all her strength, but she was out numbered. She told us all to run and get far away from there. As I got the kids to run I looked back and saw her get pinned down. They took turns biting at her neck. She looked at me and I saw the fear in her eyes. I knew she was tired, and I knew she was giving up. I saw the light fade from her eyes as I ran off from the other kids. I will never forget the look in her eyes. She died with courage and strength. I will never forget her.

As I'm running I start picking up on other smells. Other wolves. At first I think its just rouges and that i'll have to fight them off, but then I realize that i've crossed into another territory. I quickly start running for the boarder, but not before I'm knocked into a near by tree. They start biting at me yelling at me to shift into human form. At first I refuse, but then I shift and curl up trying to sheild myself from my attackers. The shift back into their human forms and look down at me.

"What do we have here?" One of them says.

"She's a pretty one." The other says.

"I don't know if i'll be able to take her back without helping myself to her first."

I shiver at the thought of him even coming close to me. Anger spins inside me and my wolf fights to be let out. I refuse her though.

"Come on. Lets just get her back to the cells. The Alpha will deal with her later."

I feel them pick me up and carry me through the forest away from the boarder. Its going to be very difficult to get out of here.

When we finally get to the cells I'm put on a very cold bench. They hand me some clothes and then leave closing and locking the cell door behind them. I look down at the clothes they handed me and realize its not clothes. Its just a sports bra and some underwear. The cell door opens and a man about 6 feet tall comes in. His mucles shinning under the light.

"Why did you come?" He asks.

I roll my eyes and spit on the floor in front of him. I have no intition of talking to anyone. He growls lightly and steps towards me,

"You don't want to do that." He whispers.

I roll my eyes and finish slipping the clothes they gave me on. He growls again because I ignored everything he's just said.

"Why are you in our territory!?" He almost yells.

I smirk,

"I was leaving until you idiots took me all the way in."

With that he pouches me in the jaw. I spit blood on the floor laughing. What man hits a woman? He growls and punches me in the stomach. I grown and spit out more blood. He smiles down at me looking pleased with himself,

"Want to same something else?" He asks.

I laugh and lean against the wall. He pulls me off the bed so I'm standing up in front of him.

"Why-" I cut him off,

"I wouldn't be here if you guys would of just let me keep going."

He throws me onto the ground and kicks me in the side. I scream when he pulls my hair and punches me again. I spit out blood and make sure some gets on his shoes. He yells and kicks me again. I lay there and try to breath, but then he kicks me again knocking my breath away. I hear him say something else before leaving. I take deep breaths and then try to sit up. The pain is too great and I figure that maybe a rib is broken. I lay back down and curl into a ball trying to relax so I can start healing in other places. My ribs wont start healing until someone snaps them back into place. It's quiet and I start to think that maybe they're done with me. Then I hear my cell door open again and I flinch slightly preparing myself for the worst. Instead I smell a sort of sweet smell. Something like forest, rain and sugar. It's breath taking. My wolf starts going insane inside me yelling the same thing over and over again.

*Mate! We found Mate!*

I try to ignore her but she just keeps yelling so I push her into the far back of my mind. I try to turn my head so I can see who is in the cell with me, but I grown because it is to painful to do so. I feel big arms wrap around and pick me up off the cold ground. Shocks of electrity run through my body. Mate? I think to myself. After a few minutes of walking and me being in pain the person carrying me lays me down on something soft. I look down running my hand along side it and realize i'm on a couch. I let my eyes get used to the light in the room. Then I look around letting my eyes fall onto a man in the side of the room. He seems to being looking through drawers and pulling things out. His mucles flexing with every movement through his tight black shirt. He turns around and freezes when our eyes meet. His blue green eyes shinning with happiness and anger. His thick black hair swooped in the perfect way making me want to drag my fingers through it. He seems to snap back to reality and comes to my side with a first aid kit.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" I ask as he starts cleaning up blood.

"Jonathan. Yours?" He asks staying focused on what he's doing.

"Renee." I almost whisper.

He stops and smiles looking at me. He smiles whispering my name again trying it out for himself. When he hears me wince he immediately goes back to what he's doing. Once he's finished cleaning up the blood he looks down towards my ribs and places his hands onto of them. His eyes flash up to mine,

"This is going to hurt." He says.

I nod telling him to get it over with. He takes a deep breath and I do the same thing. Then he snaps them back into place with one swift move and I scream. The pain erupts and stays there until it slowly goes away. I feel the tears coming down my face and he wipes them away. I get comfortable and he drapes a blanket over me. He kneels down and front of me and smiles lightly. His eyes turn a light gray and I know he is mind linking someone. Then his eyes do back to normal. He kisses my forehead and stands up facing the door. He crosses his arms over his chest just as the same guy that hit me comes in. My wolf growls before I can stop her. Jonathan looks at me confused then his eyes turn a dark obsidian black. He snaps back around to look at the guy that hit me,

"Did you hit her!?!" He growls.

The guy looks at me and smirks lightly,

"Yes." He says.

With a growl Jonathan punches the guy with so much force that he flies to the ground. Then he kicks him just like he kicked me. He growns, but doesn't do anything.

"Next time you'll think twice about hitting someones mate!" Jonathan growls.

"Yes, Alpha!" The yells.

Alpha? The guys gets up and limps away. Jonathan comes to my side and picks me up bridal style. He carries me up some stairs and into a room. His smell is all over it and I figure that it is his room. He takes me into a bathroom and sits me on the toliet. He brings me a pair of boxers and a big T-shirt.

"You can take a bath in here." He says calmly. His eyes back to their beautiful color.

I nod and he leaves closing the door. I slip out of the clothes they gave me in the cell and run a hot shower. I climb in and stand underneath the water letting it run over me. I smile as I feel my ribs starting to heal along with the other bruises and cuts I have. Werewolves heal faster than humans so I should be fully healed by morning. I wash my hair with some shampoo I find on a rack and then get out wrapping myself in a towl he left me. I dry off and quckily get dressed. Then I go out and see Jonathan come out of the closet with his clothes,

"I'm gonna take a shower, you can go ahead and get in the bed." He says

I nod and he disappears into the bathroom closing the door behind him. I smile at the big bed and climb in. The sheets are the softest I have ever felt and the pillows are softer the ones at my old home. I lay there lost in my thought and I slowly drift off into a well needed sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the morning I wake up with the bright sunlight coming through the window. I smile and move but realize that someones big arm is around my waist. I touch it lightly and turn over. I see Jonathans beautiful sleeping face and I smile. He opens one eye and smiles,

"Good Morning beautiful." He says in a husky morning voice.

"Good Morning." I say.

He moves his arm out of the way and I get up going into the bathroom. I'm brushing my teeth when he comes in wrapping his arms around my waist. I smile and he starts brushing his teeth. I rinse and wash my face off. He does the same and when I finish he pulls me in for a hug. I wrap my arms around his neck and breath in his smell. He smiles and lifts me onto the counter. I smile at him and he sighs looking in my eyes. He kisses me lightly and I feel our mate bond again. The kisses deepens when he turns his to side and he asks for entrance. I don't let him earninf a growl for him. He touches my waist and I moan lightly at his touch. He takes advantage and explores my mouth. He starts leaving a trail of kisses down my neck. He comes to spot where my neck and sholder meet. he kisses and nips at it lightly making me moan. He smiles and I feel his fangs grazing me skin lightly. I sigh and then feel him press them in. Pain erupts and I scream digging my nails into his back. He holds me tight letting me go anywhere. He sinks them deeper then finally pulls out. He licks away some of the blood that got out and all the pain is replaced with pleasure. I smile knowing that he's marked me.
