Claire is a 18 year old girl who feels like she does not fit in with everyone else born wolfless. She struggles with so many unanswered questions.
Some questions will be answered easy, while others are far from easy.
Everything changes for her the...

I am in big trouble. Claire is not speaking a word. I am getting nothing out of her.
Maybe if you didn't treat her as if she is someone lower in rank. Niko grumbles at me. Thing is he said he would not harm her on purpose, but we both know how he gets when livid.
Don't put it all on me. I didn't say to leave her out of the know. Once again he is right.
"Man, all I done was sit in a chair all night long. I was not with you guys. Why is Melissa not talking to me?" John slides his chair back and puts his head in his hands.
"That may be true, but Tyler and I both kept you updated through mindlink. Which means you know what we was doing, as where our mates know absoutely nothing." Nathan speaks up, even though he looks like a lost puppy.
Crap, we all look like lost pups right now.
"Should we just give them some space?" John looks up to me.
"Probably would be for the best, if we want to keep our jewels." Nathan looks to me, having gone pale.
"We didn't cheat on them, Nathan." What is with my Beta believing his is going to lose a part of his body.
Standing up I move to stand behind them and bend over to whisper. "Greg and Cole are pulling in now. I want you both to be with me today."
Nathan and John both stand quickly and follow in behind me as I walk out the front door.
I open the back door to the four door van that pulls in, "I will ride with you two to the cells."
Greg nods as he going back into drive. Nathan and John running beside us, as we all make our way to my cells.
Last night, we did capture a few rogues. There is one other prisioner we have, but that is a weird instance. The guy came with us willing. I did not have the guards chain him up just simply in a cell to himself. He does not smell of wolf at all.
Stepping out of the vehicle the guards bow their heads. "Alpha's." They all muster out.
Greg and Cole follow in behind me as we enter the cells. "Who should we see first?" I ask the others.
"That is all on you."
"I agree with Cole, on this one."
"What about talking with the one that just came with us willing?" I ask. They agree quickly.
I push the last door open and immediately the yelling and growls hit my ears. We walk down to the last door, that is holding the man within.
He looks up at us instantly, and smiles. "It should seem you have some very unhappy guests, Alpha." He speaks with an accent.
"Yes is should seem to be that way. I do have some questions for you. Would you be willing to answer them?" I ask, with command in my voice.
"Of course, Alpha. No need for command, I am at your service. Must be important for three Alpha's to be here, yes." The man says, standing to move close to the bars.
"What is your name?" I ask, seeing Greg and Cole step up next to me.
"Alastair." He smiles, holding his hand out in front of the bars.
So silver does not harm him in human form. I shake his hand quickly, but he keeps it out for Greg and Cole.
"What are you? Silver does not burn your skin. You don't smell like a wolf, but you knew I was using some command and the fact we are three Alphas." Niko starts pacing the back of my mind, waiting for answers.
"I am a Kitsune."
"A what." Cole speaks for the first time, looking at Alastair like he us just flat out crazy.
"He is a shapeshifter. A fox." Greg answers for Cole.
"Yes, that is true. I have been sent to this region. There is something I must protect." Alastair calming answers.
I take a quick glance behind me to Nathan and John, who have impassive expressions. "My warriors will bring you a bed and warm meals to eat, since you have been so forth coming. I would like to keep you here until I know for sure you mean no harm."
"Of course Alpha. May I ask what pack land I am currently on?" He ask.
"You are on my pack lands, Dark River. I am Alpha Tyler." I answer his question.
I step away from the bars and move towards the exit. I am in no mood for interogating the rogues we have in here. They need to settle more it should seem, since they still have energy to be fighting within their restraints.
Why is a fox on our lands? Their species barely comes out anymore. Niko is not wrong there. We have coexisted with them peacefully for centuries, but I have never met one in person.
"I am going to go back to my pack. I want to go through the books and find out what I can on him. I never even heard of his species until now." Cole speaks up once we are outside the cells.
"We do need to proceed with caution. Kitsune's can also be tricksters, the legends and books on them bounce on so many levels." Greg says.
It feels like we can trust him. There is something in his eyes, he is on a mission. Niko says calmly. Crazy wolf has lost it now, he does not trust easily and to be ever so calm to an outsider of a being species. I don't even have a remark for him.
"Call me with you find anything Cole. I have something I have to fix." I head off toward the pack house grumbling.
"Have fun with that Tyler!" Greg shouts out, laughing as he yells.
Easy for him to say. I have a mate that seems to be out for my skin.
Nathan and John are both behind me, as we enter the house. The smell of chicken invades my nostrils. Making our way into the dining hall, I see the women have the food out. I move to sit in my chair quickly.
Leaning over, I whisper in Claire's ear. "I love you."
She at least gives me a small smile, but her eyes tells me I am still in the doghouse.
