Powerful But Broken

Black Wolf

Braelynn's POV

I jerk awake and look around expecting to see cell of a bedroom. Instead, I am met with a beautiful meadow.

"Am I finally dead? Am I finally free?" I smile.

"Yes my dear, you are dead, but not for long," an angelic voice speaks.

"What do you mean?" I ask her.

"You are not done on earth yet, you still have much to do."

I groan, "I don't want to go back to that pack. Please just let me die," I plead.

"I know they treated you horribly and I assure you that when you return, it will not be to that pack. When you return you will shift into your wolf and receive some powers. You will be a rogue though dear, so be careful."

"Who are you," I wonder.

"I am Pera, but you would know me as the Moon Goddess."

My eyes widen and I start shaking in fear. I have never done well with authority.

"Don't be scared my child, you will be okay. You will return to earth stronger so you never have to deal with people like your old pack again."

"Thank you," I whisper.

"It is time to go now. Remember to be safe, goodbye."

A white light blinds me and I feel my vision start to go black before I pass out.

I wake up on the middle of the woods that I don't recognize. I feel so much stronger and I look down to see myself wearing black ripped skinny jeans, a v-neck red cropped top, a black leather jacket, and a pair of combat boots.

"Woah," I whisper.

I stand up from my place on the ground and take in my surroundings. I take one step before I hear a voice in my head.

'Not that way' she says.

"Who said that?"

'I am your wolf Noctis, now go the other way to move away from the pack border you almost stepped into.'

'Thanks,' I start walking in the other direction, 'When do I shift into you Noctis?"

'You already did while you were passed out. I shifted us back so I wouldn't freak you out.'

'Thank you.'

I continue walking until I make it to the edge of the woods and I see a quaint little town ahead of me. My stomach grumbles as I smell food coming from a nearby diner.

'Damn I am hungry,' Noctis comments.

'Sorry to break it to you, but we are broke as broke can be Noctis.'

I hear her sigh and we continue to walk through town. I see some people glare at me and I can tell from their scent that they are wolves. I try not to make eye contact and keep my head down.

'Stop that,' Noctis hisses.

'Stop what?'

'Being submissive. You are...well we are a special wolf and we don't submit to anyone. Keep your head high and walk with confidence.'

Her words alone makes my posture change. I straighten my back and hold my head high. We walk straight out of town and head back into the woods on no man's land.
