She-Wolf Prophecies Book 1

RUN

BOOM!! BOOM!!

Two gunshots echoed through the cliffs above. "We have to shift. There's no other way." I screamed. Greyson and I both released our wolves. My wolf was beautiful with white and silver fur and glowing green eyes. Greyson's was solid black with eyes that glowed red. Just as we started to run headlights lit up behind us "I want the silver one alive, kill the other."

Greyson and I took off as fast as our wolves would carry us. Our territory boundary wasn't very far, if we could make it there we would be safe. Or at least that's what I was hoping.

BOOM...BOOOM... Gunshots continued to ring out and pieces of wood were flying everywhere as the bullets pierced the trees around us. Greyson and I tried our best to run in between and behind trees and boulders so that they weren't able to get a good shot on us. The vehicle behind us was closing in fast. We as wolves may have been fast but we were no match for a vehicle. This was a black truck that carried at least 4 people. 2 in the cab and 2 in the bed of the truck. "Gabriella!" Greyson said through our mind link. "I want you to run ahead. I am going to let them pass me I am going to either crash this son of a bitches, or I'm going to kill them," he growled. "Greyson I can't leave you." I cried. "They are after you, Gabriella. They will follow you. If you don't do this I don't know what will happen to us." he urged. "Okay." I reluctantly agreed only because I knew they planned to kill Greyson and if something happened to him I didn't know how I'd ever go on. I sped up and ran with everything I had, Greyson and I split up. He had been right, the truck was now following me and they were getting closer. A tranquilizer pierced the ground beside my paw as I slid around another boulder. The only thing we had on our side was that we could maneuver in this forest in a way they couldn't in a truck. Another tranquilizer flew by me missing me by only inches. I flew out from behind the rock heading for our territory which was only half a mile away at this point. A sharp pain pierced my neck and I knew I had been hit with a tranquilizer dart. Everything around me started to spin and my vision grew blurry, "Greyson I'm hit." I mumbled through our mind link. "Hold on I'm coming," he screamed. My vision began to go black and I hit the ground as the truck began to swerve. It was smacking trees on both sides, and running over everything in its path. It ran up on a big boulder with its front driver-side tire and then I passed out.

I awoke in Greyson's room at the pack house disoriented and with a pounding headache. Greyson walked through the door with Tylenol and a glass of water. I smiled up at him. I could feel his worry for me through our link. He sat down beside me and I took the medicine and drank the water. I looked at Greyson who was watching me intently, "Hey I'm Okay." I whispered. "I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you." he frowned pain in his eyes.

Greyson had locked the guy he had brought back who still hadn't woken. The Luna and the Alpha barged into the bedroom a few moments later. The alpha was on the phone with my father telling him to come to the pack house. Luna Grace walked over to me. I was visibly shaking from the side effects of the tranquilizer. The fear, adrenaline, and the unknown all get to be too much. "Let me make you some hot coffee Gabby Dear." she smiled reassuringly at me, I nodded my head and smiled back. I felt Greyson's arms wrap around me from behind. His touch instantly calmed the shaking of my body. He laid his chin upon my shoulder and I laid my head against his. "Your safe," he whispered into my ear. "I'll never allow anyone to hurt you." "There are still 3 of them out in the forest and we have no idea who sent them." I rambled tears forming in my eyes. "There is only one that got away," he informed me. "I looked over at him. The look on Greyson's face told me that he had not wanted to kill the men and that it had truly bothered him to do it. It also said I don't want to talk about it at the moment, so I let it go for now.

I jumped as the door slammed closed. My mom and dad walked in and my mom ran over to Grayson and I wrapped her arms around us both, "I'm so so glad your both okay. Thank you, Grey, for protecting our baby." she cried. "Mama it's okay really," I reassured her. "Tell me what happened." my dad asked Greyson. "It all happened so fast sir. " he started. "Gabriella and I were asleep and I was awoken by the smell of smoke. By the time I was able to wake Gabby the fire had already consumed most of the cabin. We had to escape through the bedroom window." he explained. "Once outside we heard gunshots. Just as we shifted a truck started and we ran. They wanted Gabriella. The guy in the front told the 2 in the back to kill me but keep her alive. I was finally able to wreck the vehicle. I brought one back, he is in the. holding cells, 2 are dead and 1 got away." he finished. "I'm so sorry about the cabin." I blurted out. "Gabby dear that cabin can be replaced, you and Grey cannot." Luna smiled at me reassuringly as she handed me the hot cup of coffee. "Let's go see what this asshole knows." The Alpha motioned for Greyson and my father to follow him. To hell with that, I was going to. I threw the covers back and climbed out of bed. "Gabby stay here with your mother." my dad ordered. "Not. I am the one they want. I have a right to know why." I growled. They didn't argue.

The guy was still out when we entered the dungeon. The Alpha pulled something out of his pocket, opened the cell, and waved it underneath the guy's nose. He began to groan and move around. "WAKE UP!" the Alpha screamed. The guy jumped and flew to the opposite wall away from the Alpha. "Did you search him, son?" My dad asked Greyson. "Yes. The items I retrieved are over on the desk." he motioned with his head toward the desk in the corner. I walked over and began to sort through them. Keys, a pocket knife, and a brown leather wallet. I picked up the wallet and opened it. 47 dollars, some change, various credit cards, 2 tranquilizers, and several driver's licenses all with different identities. "What's your name?" I screamed at him. He laughed and the Alpha picked him up off his feet and pushed him against the wall while holding his shirt collar. "My name is Chad," he screamed. I looked through the id cards and not one had the name Chad. "So you carry around 15 identification cards and not one is yours?" I asked him. "I'm not a stupid lady." he laughed and the Alpha tightened his grip. "What do you monsters want with me?" he cried. "What do we want with you," Greyson Growled. "You are the one who was after my mate, and who was trying to kill me. How would you feel if a monster like myself tracked down the person you loved most in the world and tried to take them from you?" He was up in the guy's face his eyes glowing barely containing his wolf. I touched his arm trying to calm him. "Look I'm sorry I needed the money. I was just doing what I was told." he cried. "Who hired you?" Greyson demanded. "All I know is that these guys were very secretive about what they were up to. None of the guys knew each other and they found us in separate bars. Desperate men try to feed their families but fail and drink away their sorrows. I swear. That's all I know. " he screamed. "You are no better than whoever hired you." The Alpha growled at him as he dropped him back to the floor. Greyson and The Alpha left the cell and closed the door. "How long are you going to keep me here? I have a family that needs me." The man screamed as he ran to the bars grabbing onto them. "And you tried to take mine away." My dad yelled back at him. "You will stay here until we decide what to do with you." The Alpha informed him. "They will come again. They want the female bad. Something about her abilities. They won't stop until they get her. I can help you. I will help you in exchange for my freedom. I will lead you to them." he begged. We left the dungeon and his screams behind.

"I want him to think about what he has done for a while. Then we will use him to find out who these people are. Until then Gabby is to have security with her wherever she goes." The Alpha ordered. My father agreed and so did Greyson. At this point, I didn't care. I was too tired to argue. Just as the sun was coming up we all were finally able to go back to bed. My mom and dad hugged me and went back home and Greyson and I went to his room.

Once back in his room Greyson and I undressed and jumped in the shower. Greyson held me against him underneath the hot water and we just stood there in silence. After a while, we washed and got out. We dried off and headed for the comfort of Greyson's big king-size bed. We crawled underneath the covers and Greyson held me against him rubbing my head until my eyes fluttered closed and I fell into a deep sleep plagued by nightmares of being

hunted and Greyson is killed.
