The fight against all odds

chapter 2~ crossed the border

after I got done shanking off everything, I noticed the wolf who attacked me. he hasn't spotted me yet.

I quickly went in for the attack, wanting to get rid of him before the other one got here. we were fighting tooth and claw to see who would submit first, but I'd rather die than go back there. with me being of age, he would forcibly mark and mate me. I wasn't about to let that happen.

I lunged for the other wolves' throut, but he dodged it, making me bite into his shoulder. I clamped down, shaking my head, making the wound deeper and nastier. I heard him whimper as he tried to shake me off, but my wolf was relentless.

he was finally able to land a bite on my mid section. it hurt, but I was too blinded by the need to get rid of him. I let go of his shoulder and bit into the side of his neck and violently shook my head, tearing out his throat. he fell down to the ground, gasping for air and choking on his own blood.

I heard footsteps pounding into the earth close by. I realized we've crossed a border. I don't know which pack I'm in, and it scares me.

before I was able to shift so I could explain myself, the other blue moon wolf showed up. my wolf huffed in annoyance, but we'd have to put this one down as well.

we both go into defense mode, ready to spring at any moment. the other wolf looked down at its pack mate and whined. that's when I moved. I tackled him to the ground going for the throat but missed. he quickly kicked me off him and stood up. we circled each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.

he did. he ran at me, full sped, and I did the same. we met at the middle, both of us, on our back paws, biting and snapping at the other, trying to push the other over. he bit my ear, ripping a chunk from it, and god, that hurt more than I expected. I leaned over and bit his shoulder and pushed as hard as I could, and he toppled over. I grabbed his exposed stomach and ripped it out. he was going to die a slow and painful death, but it's what he deserves for what that pack did to me and my family.

he sat there whining softly before succumbing to his wounds and passed. I shook my fur out again, feeling even more like s**t with all the bites and scratching marring my skin.

I started licking my stomach wound before realizing where I was. I jumped up and spun around, facing a whole bunch of wolves in human and wolf form. I suddenly felt nervous, worried that they would either kill me or lock me up for trusspassing.

all though oddly my wolf didn't worry about that. she picked up a scent that made her claws dig deep into the ground and her stomach flipping. it smelled of rain and pine tress all at the same time. it smelled so good.

'mate,' she whispered in our head.

my mind went blank. I've always wanted to find my mate and have a family, but I wasn't expecting to find him now. he just witnessed me kill two wolves without mercy. what is he going to think of me.

before I could let my mind spiral any more, a tall, muscular mam walked forward. my wolf instantly recognized him as our mate, and her tail subconsciously started wagging. as he got closer, she stopped and whined a deep, painful whine that had my heart churning with unease.

she smelled another female on him. it was soaked into his pores. he bore a mark on his neck. not one like fated mates have but chosen mates. I felt my heart shatter. my dreams were broken from the start.

"Shift rouge."

my wolf instantly shifted, not wanting him to see her greiveing for the mate that would never be hers. I sat there on the ground with my knees up to my chest, covering my body. i haven't been in human form in a long time. I don't even remember what I look like I this form.

"Why are you on my land?" his voice was deep and commanding, making me flinch back.

"I didn't mean to cross your border. I was attacked at the top of the steep hill, making us roll down into your pack lands. I-I'm sorry. also, I'm not a rouge. I'm a lone wolf."

I didn't bother looking up at him. I didn't want him to see me broken.

"These wolves smell like pack wolves to me but not from any pack around here. care to explain?"

"N-Not really. let's just say my old alpha wants me back.."

he didn't say anything for a while. probably thinking about what he's going to do with me.

"Kyle, please take her to one of the cabins away from the pack and keep it guarded until I can figure out what to do with her."

"Yes, alpha. please come with me..."

"Octavia, my name is Octavia."

"Right. please come with me Octavia.."

he gave me an oversized shirt, and I quickly threw it on. it smelled like the alpha and his... girl...

I stood up, kept my head down, and followed the man named Kyle. I didn't talk much as we made our way to the cabin. I could feel his curiosity rolling off of him in waves, but he didn't say anything to me.

when we reached the cabin, I saw two more people standing by the front of it. most likely pack warriors. Kyle led me inside and showed me where everything was. there were even clothes already put in the closet and drawers.

"The alpha will be here soon to talk to you. he just has to do a few more things at the pack house. he'll be here in about an hour. the luna might accompany him if she's feeling like it."

I flinch at hearing that she might come along, but there isn't anything I can do about it. he's made his choice already, and if I can help it, I'll leave as soon as possible.

"Okay. thank you."

he nods his head, then leaves. I looked around the cabin again now that I'm alone. it's a nice little one bedroom cabin. I can't remember the last time I've actually been inside a house.

I looked around some more before making my way to the bathroom. I haven't had a shower in so long. my body yearns for one. I made my way back to the bedroom, finding clothes. I think that will fit me before going back to the bathroom.

it took me a minute to figure out how to use the shower again, but once I did, I went in. I groaned, feeling the hot water run down my body. I grabbed the shampoo and rubbed it in feeling all the dirt and grime from the years slowly leave my hair and body. next, I applied conditioner and then body wash. by the time I was done, I felt cleaner than I had in years.

I got out wrapping the towel around me and got to work with brushing my hair. it's so long now. I just want to cut it all off, but I can't right now. when I was done, I got dressed and threw the towel in the hamper.

I opened the door and ran face first into a muscular chest. i felt the tingling through my whole body. my body knew who it was before I could register. I was falling to the floor.

I didn't hit the floor, though. I felt arms wrap around me, steading me on my feet. I looked up, and it was him..
