Hunted Shadows (Book 1) In Heavy Editing

Part 3

    It's been a week and it's been fun. On my first day the group of 'populars' tried to tell me how I was going to act. Queen Bee's boyfriend hit on me, I shooed him away like an annoying fly. I got into a fight with three boys, I just hit a few nerves and a few family jewels. I didn't get in trouble though because all the ones I fought were wolves and I was a 'weak human' according to the principal. No one tries anything with me anymore, unfortunately the future beta is starting to get suspicious, and is now watching me so closely that I consider him my new personal stalker. He's a major threat to me and having this family,I wish I could shoo him off my trail. I plan on making a few potions to mask my scent with that of another, it usually works to confuse the wolves' sense of smell.I just have to grab a few things out of my journals and put together a brew a witch once taught me when they had taken me in as an orphan. I went in search of my journals, and after two hours of looking I finally got them all together and started my plan.

     Four hours and six potions later I finally had enough to through him off for a few weeks until this all settles down. The future beta was also watching me, but it wasn't like what his father was doing. Jake's son has been a little too friendly with me, and I don't like it. Many people have tried to be my friend just to get close to my parents' money, but he's not like that all he seems to want to do is get to know me. That can get dangerous for me quickly though if he finds out that I know. I'm a human, supposed to be naïve and weak, not know about their existence. If they knew about me they would either kill me, or get rid of me, because that's what they do to threats. I knew if I screwed up again that they would know and see me as a threat to the pack. Tomorrow was going to be tough if the beta kept with his usual routine of following me to and from school. He was what is standing in my way of a peaceful life amongst my new family, I just had to lay low for a while until he eventually gave up. My father already noticed his presence once, and mother got worried about him trying to kill me.

     They would often talk in the language of their ancestors in the office. I would often walk by just to hear what they were saying. The only thing they ever talked about was pack business, so things got boring sometimes. Other times though they would talk about all the weaknesses of the pack, and sometimes me. They never realized I was there as I have never been called out on it. They worry about me a lot as well, sometimes going as far as to buy me two cell phones in case an emergency. They always had me go around with pepper spray on me, but I knew it had wolf bane in it. Pepper spray doesn't do much to a wolf, but wolf bane could kill them if they're injected with too much of it. There was only a small concentration of it in the spray though, and I usually had around three on me due to my parents. I went to bed with thoughts racing through my head of what could happen if they found out I may actually be a threat, but they shouldn't worry about me. There are things worse than a human knowing your dirty little secret, and this alpha knew it. There were dark things out there that could be in and out of his territory without him realizing it, they were the most dangerous species right under Morphers. I was always on the lookout for them, they are dangerous because after their first shift you can't kill them. They live for a very long time, and they travelled through the shadows making them unbelievably good hunters.

Jake's POV(The Beta)

I've been watching one of the pack's family's new daughter, and from what I have observed she isn't a clueless human. She knows something, I don't know what, but she does and I'm going to find out. I have been watching her since she got here, and so far she doesn't seem like a threat to the pack, but I've continued just to be sure. She has a very set schedule, that I know. She runs everyday before school, usually with a pack member, goes to school, doesn't stay over anymore than what is needed, and then she goes home. On Fridays she runs after school as well, and she has been going to a gym right outside of our territory every Saturday. I went one day and found out that her trainer was a wolf from the Shinning Rivers pack, he claims she comes here because she used to go to a gym at her old house's location. I called that one and found out the trainer there was a vampire, she knew Marcella well. Apparently something bad had happened to her family and when told what it was Marcella decided that she wanted to learn how to fight to protect herself and her family. She seemed like a well rounded girl, but something seemed off about her, an air of knowing.
