Beginning.
Rai’s pov
My story starts back when I was 12, I’m nearly 16 now but let me tell you how my life changed. I lived with my parents in a werewolf pack, I didn’t go to school as my mum and dad said it wasn’t safe for me as someone evil is looking for me. I was home schooled, as well as some of the normal school stuff I can cook, look after the farm animals (I sometimes help my dad when no one else is about) and forage for food in the woods. Until we came to The Twilight Moon Pack we moved about a lot, We had been here a couple of weeks.
On the day that changed my life, I was helping my mum in the house, we were getting lunch ready when we heard howling, my mum got a mind link and told me rouge’s were attacking. I wanted to help but she said I had to hide, stay safe and not be seen by anyone, so I hid under the house. I could hear the fighting and shouting, someone asked mum where I was but no one answered him. After what seemed like hours it went quiet. I stayed under the house until the morning. I ventured out, looking for my parents I had just found them when some of the pack arrived, I ran into the woods to hide and watched my parents being taken away by pack members for what I knew would be their funeral. I foraged for some food and found somewhere to hide, I must have cried myself to sleep because I woke up the next morning. I went back to my house but it had been burnt down. I thought about running away but didn’t know where to go, so I made myself a bed in the barn loft, the farm animals helped me to stay warm. After managing to stay hidden for a couple of days, I was seen by a farm worker, It was decided that as no one knew I existed that it wouldn’t matter what happened to me, Over the the next 4 years the farm workers made me do most of the work and would beat me for no reason. At some point some of the younger pack members found out about me. It became there favourite past time to torment me, call me names and beat me for no other reasons than that I had no parents and wore rags.
I’ll be 16 tomorrow and I’ll meet my wolf, I won’t shift until I’m 18 but at least I’ll heal a bit quicker and won’t be on my own anymore.
I get up and start working, first job is feed the horses, pigs, sheep and chickens and collect the eggs. I put the horses in their field, mucked out the stables and the pig pen and tidied the chicken coop. Once that was all done I harness up the horses and go to work in the crop field, when it starts to get dark I go back to the barn, untack and groom the horses, put them in their stables and feed everything. I can then go forage for some food in the woods as I’m done for the day. This is what I’ve done everyday for the last 4 years and I count it a great day if I don’t see anyone.
Once I’ve found some food, as it’s the start of summer and such a nice evening and I’m going to meet my wolf soon, so I decide to stay outside for the night. Oh boy am I glad I stayed outside, as it gets closer to midnight I just get hotter and hotter it feels like I’m on fire and I have a headache from hell. Then all at once it stops with a pop in my head and a voice says
“Hello Rai, I’m Shay I’m so glad to finally meet you”.
Jace’s pov.
I’m so confused I got my wolf Axle 6 months ago and he is constantly pissed off with me but won’t tell me why. All I know is that he doesn’t like my friends, he’s ok with Bain and Kale my future Beta and Gamma. But the others are a big no, if they are close enough to me he growls in my head at them, especially the girls.
After having a another morning of Axle ether growling or not talking at all to me, I decide to go for a walk to try and clear my head. I don’t really have a destination in mind, somehow I end up at the farm. Axle is going mad, jumping about and wagging his tail, it is a very strange feeling especially with how he has been since he ‘woke up’. The farm is in uproar, lots of shouting, it’s a complete mess and the animals are all crying out and stamping there feet.
I walk up to the farm manager, I have to shout to make myself heard, “what the hell is going on here?”
“Sorry young Alpha the girl that looks after the animals has disappeared.”
“It’s after lunch!! How is it that you’ve only just found this out? Why are you all just standing here and not seeing to the animals? Oh and one more thing why has no one been told she is missing?”
“Well you see the thing is young alpha, she’s an orphan and no body knew she was even here in the pack until about 4 years ago, so she’s been living in the barn ever since.”
“Why wasn’t my father told about her?”
“You and your friends know about her, we thought you had told him and when she wasn’t sent for, we let her continue to stay in the barn and work for her keep.”
Oh my god what the hell was going on, who was he talking about? Axle was back to being pissed off.
“Show me where she has been living.”
He walked to the barn and started to go up the stairs I followed him. Half way up I started to smell something amazing, Axle shouted
“Mate,”
“Axle how can you sense our mate now. We’ve got another year and a half before we find her!”
“I don’t know human.”
I looked around there wasn’t much up here, just bales of hay and straw, some lose straw on the floor and her scent was strongest here. Oh crap this is where she slept. Axle started showing me memories from years ago, of a young girl being tormented by myself and my ‘friends!!’ I sat down on ‘her bed’ putting my head in my hands and cried, what the f**k have I done. Yep now I know why Axle’s been pissed off with me. I’ve got to find her.
