Wild One

Captured

Natalie made her way back to her belongings she had stashed under a tree. She estimated she had about another three hours before she would officially cross into the Silver Moon pack border. Her stomach was a ball of nerves. Being an outsider she would not just get through unnoticed. What if this pack didn't take her in? Their up-and-coming alpha was rumored to be hard. The only thing she really knew was his name was Tyler. She had never met him being a lower-ranked pack member but he had been invited to a few council meetings in the past with his father Michael. Suddenly Natalie's stomach gave a loud grumble. She stooped down next to a creek to wash an apple she had stashed in her bag to eat.

As she was washing of her fruit she suddenly felt a presence like she was being watched. The hair on the back of her neck rose and her muscles tensed up in case she needed to run. Natalie slowly turned but saw no one behind her. She scanned the surrounding trees and even sniffed the air. Still nothing, no sound, no smells. What the heck? Hazel was growling in head. Something was definitely off. Suddenly she felt a prick of something on her neck. Her hand reached up brushing edge of a dart. Judging from the sudden wave of dizziness it was some kind of tranquilizer made for werewolves.

The last thing she saw before she drifted off was two males coming towards her. Marcus and Seth were patrol wolves for the Silver Moon pack. Marcus made his way over the unconscious body and nudged it with his boot. What do you think he mind-linked Seth, a rogue?

I don't think so Seth replied. She smells like Harvest Moon wolves. Maybe she's a messenger. Either way we should take her to the holding cell until we find out more. Seth bent down and scooped up her lifeless body. She was incredibly small for a female wolf at least in human form. He mind-linked Tyler and Robert to let them know they had found a strange wolf on the edge of their pack's border. He left Marcus there to continue to patrol and started back to the pack mansion.

Natalie woke up in some kind of cell. Her head felt fuzzy as she tried to recall the events that had gotten her in this predicament. Her memory came back and she recalled seeing two male wolves walking towards her as she fell to the ground after getting hit with that dart. Natalie lifted a hand to rub the spot on her neck. She heard the sound of a door opening down the hall. She backed herself into the cell corner terrified. Who was holding her captive? Were they going to torture her? Heavy footsteps were coming towards her direction.

A very large man was standing in front of her cell staring at her with his eyes narrowed. He was every bit of six foot tall and had a scar running through his left eyebrow. He scanned her small frame up and down once then spoke. "My name is Seth. "I'm the head of security for the Silver Moon pack. I'm going to need you to tell me who you are exactly and why were sniffing around our border."
