"Isabella it's me, Matthew, open the door." Matthew said again in a whisper. I threw off my covers and put my shorts back on, they came off in my sleep, again. I walked to the door and opened it, allowing Matthew to come in my room. He looked around trying to find any change, since the last time I saw him he was leaving the pack to visit his sister in another pack a few states over, in Colorado. The only thing that has changed is that I have seven new scars on my thighs, I think to myself. My room was the typical attic space, only my bed and a tiny dresser could fit. I had blank walls and an old cracked, wooden floor. In one corner I had a fan and in the other, I had the only special thing I own. A picture of my family before they got killed by rouges. My dad was 6'3 with black hair and deep green eyes that were full of joy as he held his mate, my mother, in his arms. My mother was only an inch taller than me, 5'7, had strawberry blonde hair with bright blue eyes. She was smiling at her mate and I was standing behind the two making a silly face. I have my moms hair but my dads eyes, my hair went down to my c-cup boobs. The picture was taken only days before they were killed. Rouges came running out of the woods during a pack member's birthday party. The higher ranks, Alpha, Belta, and their enforcers, tried to counter attack. The female Belta got all the women and children who couldn't fight in the safe house but was killed herself in the process of trying to free a little girl from a rouge who followed them. She was majorly wounded almost died on the spot, luckily she lived till she got to the safe house. She locked herself out in order to protect the women and children, fighting the few rouges at thee door. Her mate came to help only to find she had been killed, so in a rage he killed the rouges for revenge. One of the rouges changed back into human form and shot the Belta in the chest and head with sliver bullets, killing him instantly. The Belta pair was my parents and I was the little girl my mother saved. Ever since then I was blamed for my parents death, and was given the title Omega. Meaning anyone could hurt me, tell me what to do, and I have to do it or I will get killed. Matthew is the new Belta because he was Gamma at the time.
"Nothing but new scars Matthew." I said, sadness seeping through my words and tears clouding my eyes. He didn't say anything but pulled me in a tight hug. I cried into his shoulder, thinking about my parents, my pain, and Katie's pain, not knowing how much longer I could live with myself. Matthew seemed to know that I needed to cry for a while so he carried me to bed and just held me.
I finished crying and tried to apologize but my throat hurt from the crying. He nodded and smiled down at me, then he stopped smiling and spoke words I will never forget.
"Isabella you need to run away and never return. I can't let you counting to kill yourself anymore, I will train you for a year since your going to be old enough to find your mate by then. Only then you are going to run and never look back." He said to me slightly smiling. I only cried more but I understood. I'm glad you agree with him Isabella, I thought I would have to push you to make that choice, Katie said to me, hope filling her voice when she spoke next. We can only hope that we can be fully trained by June 8th, our 18th birthday. i agreed with her and soon fell asleep knowing that tomorrow was June 7th the first day of our training.

I woke up to an alarm and an empty bed but a note taped to the door. I quickly shut the alarm off before it woke anybody up. Then I got up and read the note.
"Go to the meadow at the edge of the territory as soon as you wake up, I'm waiting." - Matt
I smiled and changed into running shorts and a tee shirt and quietly ran down stairs and outside, looking at the clock before actually going outside. 4 fucking am?!?!?! Seriously Matthew? Ugh who the hell wakes up at 4 am?!?! I yelled to myself and Katie, knowing she would be awake too. It's ok Isabella, Matthew knows what he's doing, Katie said while yawning, her jaws opening widely showing off her many sharp teeth. I ignored her because I was still grumpy about being awake at 4 fucking am!!!!!
I soon got to the meadow and called out for Matthew. He came out of the forest with no shirt but wearing only shorts. He started to speak before I could get one word in.
"We are running the perimeter of the territory today, keep up. But before we start stretch. You have five minutes." He said in his, get down to business voice. I finished stretching and we ran the perimeter. Katie laughing burst out laughing in my head, no Isabella Matthew ran you attempted to follow and you tripped about five times already!!! I growled, at her but it was a playful one, and I blushed, embarrassed from tripping so much. I continued running till Matthew stopped. He turned around so fast I almost didn't dodge it. He smiled, "Good. Never be too tired to dodge an attack. Always be on guard. Although your running was a little rough, it's not as bad as it could have been. Now we will meet in the meadow everyday at 4:15 am if not other wised told, ok?"
I smiled and nodded, still trying to catch my breath. He nodded and smiled back, then looked at his watch and said that I needed to hurry if I want to make breakfast before people started to get up for school. I said my thanks and see you tomorrow's before running pack to the pack house and starting a quick breakfast before getting ready for school.
