Hunter and hunted

Her debt

"how long has it been since i've been there?" the question the unknown person wonders in the back of her mind, a voice "i told you we should have gone back a long time ago." almost with an i told you so additude. "yes i know, you told me, yes i know i was wrong to stay away for so long, yes i miss my pack, what do you want from me?" the voice retorted "go back, be with your pack, save her, save your daughter!"

She starts packing the esentials, from cloths to food and water, pistols, knives, and amunition. she goes out and packs up all of her stuff into her vehicle, the voice comes back to her " we aren't shifting?" she rolls her eyes "you know if we shift they will find us before we want them to, plus do you really want to carry all of our things?" "Good point, nevermind." the voice says with a sigh. the unknown woman goes back to the place she was staying, she empties a gas can onto the floor, lights a match and throws it, lighting the house in a quick blaze. she exits the place, gets into her car, and drives off as flames engulfs the house.

She and the voice discuss "how long do you think it will take for us to get back?" says the voice, "that is to be determand, we may still be watched by the enemies, we could not be, i am unsure but we will soon find out." an hour later the woman stops off to get some gas and some food.

She feels someone or something watching her, she looks around but sees no one, the feeling is still there otherwise.

~flashback~

~17 years earlier~

Pop music plays in the background, a much younger woman cooking breakfast dancing around skin like porcelain, hair as red as fire, lips full, eyes as green as the forest in the spring, a kitchen in white and light blue contrast the shirt she wears still smells of her mate who is out training the worriors, down the stairs comes an older woman practically running with fear on her face.

The woman looks at my face in horror, "tell me you didn't mate with him last night..." I look at her shocked, a bewildered look comes across my face, "of course I did Lisa, he's my mate after all." Lisa stares with a blank look in her eyes. " We will have a visitor from the high council in two or three days, you don't know the ramifications this will have, he was already told that he wasn't allowed to mate, and now... All three of your lives are in danger."

"Wait...what do you mean Joshua isn't allowed to mate? He never told me anything about not mateing, and what do you mean the three of our lives?" Lisa came to our little snow moon pack a year ago, she has been nothing but helpful against our enemies that have been trying to take over our pack.

Lisa's eyes get cloudy as she speaks

"Her seventeenth year... Seventeen years and she will find him, on the brink of death she will become new, saved by the one she's intended for, nothing can break this."

He eyes go back to her normal gold color, "what was that!?" I ask shocked, I had never seen anything like that before from her. "I...I don't know what just happened, but something is coming."

I run out of the house running to Joshua, he turns as he feels our mate bond showing I'm both mad and afraid. Joshua spins around as I wrap him in a hug crying. Horror on his face "what happened?, what's wrong?"

I was quite for a moment, tears falling uncontrollably, "Lisa said someone from the high council is coming within the next couple of days and I'm pregnant." Joshua's face goes blank "p-pregnant?, What? How? When?"

Dumbfounded I look at his face "what do you mean when? Last night...we mated." He answers my dumbfounded look with one of his own " Lori Ann? I was in the city last night, I had pack buissiness and the restaurant to take care of." I back away from him "no...that can't be, it was you, it had to have been, he had your sent and everything."

~flashback ends~

That's the moment everything changed, I had to wait six months before I could flee, the council knew something happened, they knew someone was pregnant with supposedly Joshua's child, but Joshua said he wasn't with me, that's when he let me go, my mate left me, alone, scared, and with child.

"How could he do that to us?!" The voice said in my mind, she said it as if remembering made her hurt all over again. Sadly I know it probably did, shortly after my moon beam was born we had to abandon her with her uncle, it was either that and hide or stay and watch her killed. I am still in awe of how I had gotten pregnant in the first place if it hadn't been Joshua. After all these years, I will find out, even if I don't like the answer and even if it kills me.
