Justin's P.O.V
"Justin we're going fishing wanna come" my beta Troy yelled.
" No thanks Troy! I'll stay here!" I answered back.
"Okay I'll call you if something happens!" He shouted
"I doubt something will happen here" I muttered.
Hi I'm Justin Powell Alpha of the Nightshade pack. If you don't know what that is let me explain it. Alpha is a wolf term for leader. I'm saying wolf as in werewolf. That's right werewolf. Werewolfs are real I'm living proof of that. There are four big time positions in a pack the first, Alpha-the leader and caretaker of the pack handles business of the pack and helps fight rouges or other packs if needed. The second, Beta- handles alpha work if the alpha is away or has another matter to attend to second in charge their mate is called the beta-female. The third, third in command- handles alpha and beta duty is alpha and beta are both away. The last and far from the least is the Luna- the Luna also known as alpha-female is the alphas mate she has more power in the pack than the beta and third in command combined similar to the alpha she is looked upon in the pack for advice and symbolizes kindness and mothership.
I of course am the alpha. My beta and best friend is Troy. The third in command is a friend named Ron. And I haven't found my Luna yet. Troy and Ron have already found their mates. Troy's mate's name is Vanessa they love each other so much it makes me jealous. Alpha's are supposed to find their mates earlier in life. But I never found her. Not all wolfs find their mates though some die before they meet leaving the other mate less. It's the same way with Ron and Casey as it is with Troy and Vanessa. I really want to find my mate but I'm losing hope. What if she was a rouge and got killed while attacking a pack. A rouge is a wolf who is not in a pack. They don't follow rules or commands but I don't thinks she's a rouge.
I sighed as I laid down on my bed and rubbed my face with my hands. I don't know her but I miss her already. Suddenly I get a call from Troy through the mind link. "Meet us at the dock, we got something."River's P.O.V
I took a deep breath and looked at the open waters before me. It was dangerous there but it would take less time to get to Liam. I looked back once at the town that I used to call home and started darting through the waters as fast as I could. I stopped abruptly when I saw a group of sirens heading towards the surface. Each looking ready to kill. I looked around the surface and spotted a small fish boat not to far from the sirens. "No!" I whispered. I started swimming towards the surface avoiding the sirens line of vision. And stopped when I was in front of the boat. "Hey!" I yelled "Hey turn around they're gonna get you go! Go away!" I watched to see if they would turn around but they didn't. I dove back in after a few more attempts and began to swim away. I did not want to be there to see the sailor's death's. I looked back for one second after I heard a shriek and then another and another. I watched as the sirens body's sank into the deep. "Wow" I gaped at the boat and didn't realize they had dropped something in the ocean and were slowly coming closer to me until it was to late. The hard ropes wrapped around my body tangling itself in my tail. My tail had turned purple that color meant fear. My tail changes color with my emotion there are only a few people who know about that including Liam and Damien. Channing tail color was rare and even more rare when you also had the ability to camouflage into anything like me. "Help help somebody help me!" I screamed even though I knew no one could hear me. I looked around and remembered I had packed a knife. I fumbled around in my bag until I felt the sharp stone knife. I quickly took it out and began to move my hand to the ropes. But then the net jerked upwards and for one horrible second my hand loosened and the knife fell out of my hold. I reached but it was already to far. "No!" I screamed as I neared the surface "no" I whispered once more as my tears where whisked away in the current.
I was pulled onto the deck and quickly curled myself in a ball. A willed my tail to camouflage with the rest of my body but it was no use my fear was to strong. My waist length light brown hair wrapped around my arms shielding me from the cold as I squeezed my eyes shut. "We got something" I heard a mans voice call out.
"I think I caught one" the voice said "Troy! We got one"
"Let me see" said another voice this time it was a girls
"No Vanessa it could be dangerous-you stay back to Kasey" the first voice said
" I don't think it's one of those other things the ones that attacked us all had black and grey tails this one has purple." Said one of the females who I'm assuming is Vanessa.
" You have a point there V it's hair is a different color to its brown and not black but it could just be genetics" said a completely different male voice. "See if it's okay Ron but be careful"
"Ok Troy why don't you call the Alpha tell him to meet us at the dock." Said the first male which I bet is Ron
I heard shuffling on the deck and felt the wet ropes slowly being pulled off of me I squeezed my eyes shut even tighter trying desperately to camouflage even though I knew it was to late. I was beginning to dry off now and I knew if I didn't get in the water I would die. That's what the king and queen told us that they had witnessed a merman die while pulling himself back to the water while they tried to help him. "Hey are you okay" I heard Ron say I didn't answer I was trying to shield the remaining water on my arm from the sun so it wouldn't evaporate so quickly.
"Can you speak" he tried again.
I shook my head yes but stayed silent.
"Are you dangerous?" He asked
This time I shook my head no
"Are you hurt"
This was a hard question I wasn't hurt yet but if I stayed out of the ocean for long I would most likely die.
"N-no but-" I was cut off by an excruciating pain in my tail it was like being burned and stabbed by needles at the the same time. The water had dried. I screamed in agony as my scales slowly disappeared starting from the middle of my tail and heading outward. I caught a glimpse of and island and someone running down the dock before I died.
