Alpha Female's Fate

V - "The Camp"

I was already a bit tired when I reached the line of the trees, but I needed to go deep into the forest. I had to be away from people to feel free. I knew it wasn't safe, because I could cross the pack territory, which I wasn't allowed to. But I knew I can smell the border and avoid that. The only thing I really had to worry about was rogues.

A rogue is a wolf that once belonged to a pack but was banished. If the wolf isn't able to join different pack before the next full moon it becomes a rogue. Rogues go insane without a pack. They loose their human side and go wild. Us, werewolves have to live in packs. We are very social creatures. The most important part of the pack is an Alpha. Those are born to be leaders and are different from average werewolf. Alphas are stronger, their senses are better.

The reason my family didn't become rogues after we were banished is because my dad and I still had an alpha blood and alphas can't go rogue. I was too young but my father was still the Alpha and because of this my family became the tiniest pack in the world. The pack of only four wolves. Other werewolves didn't even know we existed. We hid in humans' territory, not owning our own. But for our werewolf nature we were still a pack.

Sadly we couldn't train and act like wolves. That caused mine and my sister's wolves to abandon us. My sister was only two years younger than me but it was enough for her to forget her past and what she was. But I remembered. And I was going to get my wolf back.

Scent of other wolf took me out of my thoughts. I quickly changed the direction. I was already tired but I had to walk untill I find a safe place to stay. I walked for another half an hour untill the scent disappeared completly. I didn't stop untill I found myself on the shore of a small lake.

I searched the place and found a small cave. There was no scent or any other signs of wolves or humans. "Perfect." - I thought and started putting up the tent inside of the cave. To my satisfaction I was able to make really nice camp before it got completly dark. I was so tired at that moment that I decided to go right to sleep and leave everything else for tomorrow. I got inside the tent and got comfortable in a sleeping bag. I felt really good here. I was so excited of what's going to happen and how would it changed my life. Because I deeply believed that I can reconnect to my wolf. And I knew life with her would be so much better. But I was also really tired so my thought quickly became silent and I fell asleep.
