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...

"Alastair." She breaks down.
"How can I be mated to a Kitsune? The pack will have issues with interspecies mating. He tried talking to me last week before the dance, but I took off and been hiding in my room every since."
"It not a bad thing. Alastair is a good man, I would know. He is with me all the time. Just talk to him and get to know him. Sure it is beyond rare to have mate from a different species but it is not a bad thing." I reply.
Just on time, Alastair walks in. He smiles warmly in our direction.
"Why didn't you ever say anything to me that she is your mate?" I ask him.
"I thought the beautiful lady didn't want me. With everything going on I didn't want to be of bother." He replies.
"Well you two need to talk and let anyone say a thing about this I will deal with them." I smile at them.
"I will still be protecting you Luna. I made a vow and that is my purpose." He looks at me. "Coming here just gave me more then one bonus. I have a home now and a beautiful mate. If she will have me, yes?"
"I am protecting her too, you know. I would never leave my Luna just because I got a stud of a mate." Hailey snips, smirking.
"You both protect." I laugh.
It eases the tension in the room. I hope they will get their chance at being mates, they both deserve it.
We need some happy right about now. I can for once agree with that!
Slipping into the kitchen further, I open the fridge pulling out the eggs, bacon, and milk. Might as well start on the food until the others show up to help.
I am about half way done with the pancakes when Fiona walks in. "Good morning, Claire. You got an early start."
"I have been up and figured might as well get things started." I smile over at her.
I won't relax much when things may hit the fan, and cooking helps to relax me. All I can do is sit away and wait, not something I enjoy.
The food gets done pretty fast and we start taking it out to the table. "Fiona could you let it be known the food is ready to be served." I ask.
Her eyes glaze over and then focus back on me. "All done dear. Go ahead and take a seat."
Just as I sit down, Tyler walks in. He moves behind me and kisses my head. It seems he has been trying to show me more affection in front of the pack then normal. Is he nervous?
I watch everyone fills their plate. There is no chatting going on this morning, everyone seems to be on edge.
My stomach churns right when Tyler takes his first bite of food. Something is off. I look up to Tyler and see he is bring a piece of bacon to his mouth, but stops suddenly.
Tyler jumps from his seat with Nathan following suit. They both race out of the dining room and out the front door. I follow them just as quickly.
No sooner than I am out the door, the smell of smoke hits my nose. Looking over the tree tops to the right, I can see the thick black cloud.
"Nathan get the warriors! It is starting now!" Tyler orders, pulling his cell phone out.
Layla comes to stand next to me as we watch Tyler making calls. No doubt to Greg and Cole.
"Layla get all everyone not fighting to safety. We need everyone in a secure locations." I say turning to her.
Layla runs over to Nathan and gives him a quick kiss, before running inside the house.
"Greg and Cole are on there way with their groups. They will be at the boarder line in less than ten minutes." Tyler yells over to Nathan.
"Everyone is here." Nathan yells back.
"Remember to watch your backs and help our members. Let's move out." Tyler bellows out to everyone gathered.
Tyler runs over to me, scooping my face in his hands. He plants a harsh kiss. "I am coming back. You stay safe. I love you." He whispers, before taking off.
I didn't have a chance to say anything back and I can tell he is blocking the mindlink.
I feel someone pulling on my arm. "We need to get you inside." Alastair speaks in my ear. His eyes scanning the area around us.
Running back into the pack house, I stubble over Layla. "Everyone is in safe locations throughout the house."
"Thank you, Layla." Tears start to fill my eyes.
"Let's get you in a safe spot, yes." Alastair pulls me out of my almost melt down.
I nod my head and start up the stairs. I can not lose it now, it is just beginning.
We reach the Alpha floor, going over to the wall I move the statue over. The wall opens and I usher Layla inside, following in behind her and Alastair right behind me. We get inside the room and the door closes itself back.
"Now it is just a waiting game." Layla whispers out. She moves to sit on the bed.
I join her on the bed, rubbing on her arm. While Alastair stands back against the wall, with his arms crossed over his chest.
Layla's eyes glaze over for a few minutes. "There is so many invading in at once. It all seems to be in that region."
"That is tremendous." Alastair answers.
I don't have it in me to answer, but something in me is saying this is to easy.
Listen to your gut. It will save many. What can I do? I am stuck in a room and I am useless compared to everyone else.
Alastair moves from the wall and stares at the door we came through. I am about to ask what is going on when he stops me by holding a finger up to his mouth.
I watch as he drops to the ground shifting. He is such a beautiful creature, no wonder he seems to wise he has all nine tails. Just how old is this man?
Foucs, there is a reason he shifted!
Just as I snap myself from staring at him, I see Layla is crouched down and ready. What are they hearing?
I am about to ask when the door opens and a canister is thrown in. The smell of the smoke is fetid. Layla drops to the ground with Alastair falling next.
Two men walk in laughing. "Nothing a little wolfsbane and garlic powder won't do. Grab the girl and let's go."
My head spins, but I push myself to strike out hitting the closest one in the groin. He falls to the floor holding his jewels, groaning.
The other one walks up to me, tsking me. "Should have just came with us easily, girl. Knew your precious Alpha was hiding something, a Kitsune here and mate no one has ever saw shift." He says.
The last thing I see is knuckles in my sight as everything around me fades into nothing.

Hey Hey Guys!!
It has started! Of course, breakfast was interrupted, but it was time for things to take place.
Who is wondering how these two got into the pack house?
Who could it even be taking Claire? Or where will she be going?
