Prologue

Falica was startled awake by a crash downstairs. She got up and went to see what happened in a pink flower dress. As she was only six she and scared very easily, so when there was a noise behind her she screamed bloody murder.

"Shhh, shhh its alright. it's daddy, your fine. Lets get you back upstairs"

"But daddy i heard a big crash!"falica whispered in a scared voice.

"I know sweety, but its okay. Everything is gonna be just fine"

He picked up falica and went upstairs to but her back to bed, but when he reached the top of the stairs a shadow came out of the darkness. Falica didnt know what was going on and she was very confused.

Falica's dad set her down very carefully and held up his hands. "What do you want? Take anything just don't hurt my little girl!"

A deep voice came from the shadow, "I don't want anything, I'm just here to do a job."

"Now get on your knees and be quiet."

" Daddy what's going on daddy I'm scared!!!"

" Your going to be fine sweetheart i just need you to calm down and be quiet." her daddy said in a reassuring voice.

The shadow raised a gun in his hand and shot falica's dad twice point blank in the head. The shadowed man walked past her not caring about the little girl yelling at her dad to get up. He had done his job.

"Daddy!" yelled falica, "daddy get up please, daddy please get up." sobbing now.

She knelled next to him on the floor, he wasn't moving. She shook him but he just lied there like a broken doll. He was on his face so she couldnt see the shots After a while of shaking him falica stopped hoping he was just asleep, not really understanding what was going on, that her daddy was dead and he wasn't going to wake up. The shooter had left long ago so it was just her and he dad. It seemed like hours but could have been minutes when policemen swarmed around them. A neighbor had called saying he had heard gun shots. One police officer picked up the delirious falica and carried her outside. She looked around and saw all her neighbors standing on the sidewalk looking at the house and her with such sad faces that she didn't understand. Once it was determined that her dad was indeed dead and that falica had no other relatives, she was sent with child protective services. When she asked where her daddy was and why he wasn't there, they told her he was dead and he wasn't coming back. But she never believed them, she thought her daddy would come back and she waited for him. After a while she accepted that he was gone and that , just like the people said, he wasn't coming back to her. She had one thought echoing in her mind ever since. That she was alone.

Present Day

Falica was staring out her window thinking about that horrible day ten years ago, the day she became alone.

Her mother died in childbirth and her dad was the only one left. Now that he was gone she had no one. No relatives who would take her in, no god parents. She was alone. She was put into foster care that week, but nobody ever adopted her. After all who would want a broken little girl? That day her dad was shot was the day that she was left alone. It also happend to be the day of her seventh birthday, the day she was suppose to learn of what she was and who she was destined to be. When she was suppose to learn that she was a werewolf and that she had a mate. someone who was made for her. That when she turned 17 she would feel the need to find her mate.
