My Past?

Chapter One ~ Goodbyes are Painful

"Promise me you won't forget me," I whispered into my best friends ear. I felt the vibration of his chest as he laughed. We both knew he would be gone to warrior school, and I will be here stuck with my obnoxious soon-to-be Alpha brother.

"Forget you? Never." He sighed, "Look at me Skylar, " he pulled back from the hug and lifted my chin. "I could never forget the years we spent as kids. This will only be for four years. Just think when I get back I'll be able to beat up your mate, and make sure he is right for you." Those words he spoke, about my mate, tore into me. I have always felt a connection to Scott, but I guess that I am the only one who feels this tug in the friendship. Scott pulled me back into a hug, and the tears sprang out of my eyes and down my cheeks.

After staying in the hug for minutes we heard the trunk slam shut, signaling it was time to get in our last words. "Senior year is going to be a bust with out you. I am going to be a nobody again. The same person I was before we were this close. Just promise me that you will call."

"I promise. When I return, if your mate will allow it, we will spend large amount of time together." I giggled but as he walked away I knew there was no changing this. My best friend was leaving me broken hearted a couple of days before school started back up.

The cars engine roared to life as the passenger seat door slammed shut. Hearing the car gears change into drive, Scott was headed down the road, leaving me. I turned around, not caring to look at his waving hand, and trudged up the stairs into the pack house. Many people passed me but said nothing to me. I disgusted loads of them, some felt pity, and others well ignored me.

Going up stairs into my room I laid on the bed and let the lousiness of the day fall away as I fell in a dream state.

"No please just don't hurt her," the familiar woman screamed. She and her mate were tied up to a chair. The man was trying and trying to get out but couldn't. The woman was screaming to the person who was holding me telling them to take her and not me.

I was young and small. These people looked familiar but never connected with anyone I knew. Banging on the door erupted from behind the mysterious person holding me. His head snapped towards the double doors, and then around the room. His gaze settled on the window. I could hear the muffled yelling from the men outside the doors, the woman was still begging for this man to stop, and the man tied up continued thrashing in the chair. The man takes off running towards the window and jumps through the glass. We free fall for what seems like forever before hitting solid ground. The man puts me on a carrier on his back and shifts. Taking the fur into my baby hands the wolf takes off. My little ears pick up the sounds of barking and growling coming towards us. The wolf pushes himself faster and faster trying to get away. Finally he stops. I crane my little neck to look in the direction we just came. Nothing but trees and a blurry building in the background, two broken howls erupt from the building, and the wolf takes of again. The howls left me in tears as I watched the scene from above the child crying from the howls.

My surroundings are blurred into a random clearing. The wolf shifts back into his bare body, he takes me out of the carrier and puts me in his arms. "Here you go master, delivered as requested," being young I didn't know what these words meant.

"I don't want it, the will come looking for it close by, take it to the place we had planned, and leave it." The gruff voice scared small little me, causing the baby I once was to wail. The gruff man huffed, "I will find it when it is older until then take it away."

The man holding nodded and put me back into the carrier before taking off once again. When in mid air he shifted into his wolf, I watch as the baby cuddled into the fur and drift off into
