Christina's POV

Yesterday was fantastic who knew this dating thing would be fun of course I might had felt differently if I lost and when I told him my whole truth I was afraid I'd loose this mate thing but he was only upset about my father's exile and not with me being different from my kind, maybe there is hope for us after all. I'm struggling with hating my herd had they not done me wrong, in my eyes yes but I was the black sheep they stuck to my father's law, they are loyal people I can't blame them for turning their backs on me for not doing the same. The more I'm here in this pack the more I feel accepting the rebellious part of me but a part still wished I wasn't exiled to find it. I'm conflicted I know I can never go back to my realm but is that it I won't see them again. I felt something cold run down my cheek I swiped my hand through it, tears why am I crying now did I miss my herd? I turn in shock I almost squeal when I see the little sister of nice guy sorry Lance. "Hi Allison you startled me a little how can I help you?" I bent down and smiled softly at the little girl. "My f-friends want to see you, I like your horsey what's your names?" I beam this kid is a cutie she has dark hair unlike her brother that's pulled into pigtails she has green eyes and is sporting a pink striped dress. "My names Christina you've met my Peg ah horsey Ariella. Not a horse I'm a Pegasus remember, that's insulting and you know it Tina. I know but she mightn't know what a Pegasus is so go with me on this Ari. She snorts and con-sides.
Allison escorts me outside I have to ask "so tell me Allison what's your wolfs name? I'm curious your brother told me his." She stopped half way down the outside steps and looked up to me confused a little irritated I was confused by the last emotion. "Everyone knows p-pups don't get wolves yet." I still didn't get it she's a pup she has a wolf. "Yes I know your a pup Allison I want to know what your wolfs called." She screams and stomps her feet my eyes go wide and I want to disappear I pissed off a pup. "I'm A PUP, I'M NOT BIG YET SO I DON'T HAVE A WOLF!" She screamed and ran off that's strange how come young ones don't get there wolves as foals we can shift the day after our births our powers come later. After my shock I realise no one was watching Allison she ran off what is it with pups and running off jeeze for a pup she's fast.

I race after her and can't believe my eyes she's gaping behind a bush I look up to see six wolves attack a horse I run over to cover Allison's eyes from the hellish sight to take her home when a wolf catches my eye. "Bad wolves" Allison whispers out, I see the horse scream and look up at me with frightened eyes. It's not a horse it's Lasha my old friend I stare at her attacked form she must of teleported that's her power but why here. I turn to Allison my voice shaking and panicked "RUN HOME" I whisper yell, she takes off screaming now all the wolves attacking my friend are watching me I ball my hand feel my anger and burst my flames to the one closest to Lasha's torn body I shift and let Ariella lead them away from her.

Lance's POV

I came out of my office and ran outside Billy and Toren run next to Allison who's crying. "Bad wolves hurt horsey." What Mate bad wolves Rogues my eyes widen. I angrily grap Allison "WHAT WHERE'S HORSEY" she sniffs and tries to remove herself from my grip. I get more frustrated with her lack of words. "A-Alpha your hurting her." I turn my glare on Toren. "SHUT IT, NOW WHERE IS SHE ALLI." I scream at her my mother comes out yelling at me picking my ear and twisting the skin I feel the sting but don't release ALLI. "She took off to save the horsey." Took off to save horsey what does that mean where rogues taking down a horse and Christina didn't like it. Quit babbling, mate in danger buffoon. I take off and run to her scent the Rose and candy floss scent gets stronger the more East I go my warrior wolves and Beta Mark follow silently behind me I can feel Marks concern for his Luna radiate off his wolf they have bonded much to my dismay but I sense no romantic bond between the two so I won't kill Mark. I shift in the air to get to her faster rotten garbage assaults our senses rogues it's not uncommon for rogues to hunt in small groups most miss being in a pack and hunting is challenging enough on your own so they form groups I wouldn't say they're packs.

Ariella's POV

I gallop as fast as I can maybe we should fly back to the pack Christina I snort "not a bad idea but they could still go back and attack and kill Lasha and Jess plus I don't want to give away that we're Pegasus god knows what they'd plan on doing to us then Ari." Yeah good point it's your call Tina. I gallop into the stream I see I know they're still following me but I can't hear them, disguising our scent in water will help I abruptly stop when I see three rogues two feet from me growling licking there lips they only know me as a horse shifter with powers, I'd like to keep it like that, I blow out and pin my ears back scraping the water with my hooves I can hear the rest of their group catch up. I squeal my anger showing I would of fluffed up my wings to make me look big and scary but I'm not showing them my complete Pegasus form. The one in front of me makes the first move he crouches and snarls stalking to me. I rear up and slam my body weight on his head squealing at the rest stupid mutts the ones behind make a B-line for my lower legs trying to nip them as the ones in-front attack from above I feel the taring pain like when Nero clawed into my back I tucked my head as one tried to bite into my neck I thrashed my head and knocked him off bucking kicking my hooves out as I turn my body that is now weighed down with wolves I squeal in pain as one jumps on my back biting into my side I swing my head back to bite his ear he whimpers and swipes for my head I try and avoid I trip over one of them I crush him as I go down hearing him whimper I flood my body with fire as my golden glow attempts to heal me once more I hear clear as day lightning crash near me earning a whimper from the other wolves and suddenly they all rush off me two escape whilst the others bow their heads to the side whining I look up from my battered state to see a black wolf I recognise as Nero I Whinny to him in greeting trying to get to my hooves I wince internally at the pain it causes my golden hues healing me but not quickly enough for my likening.

Nero is by my head licking me I nicker in enjoyment feeling the tingles distract my pain. I stand up shakily and see his pack wolves bow their heads to me one shifts I recognise as Mark Lance's Beta, I squeal and instantly turn my head from his naked form as I rub my nose on Nero softly biting him to groom him in thanks, hearing him purr made Tina laugh "he's like a kitten" I nicker merrily at the image. I know by now if Lasha has healed she's probably back to her correct realm.
