New Life

Chapter 1

Nick and I walk through the forest, as wolves, trying to find other werewolves. Our former pack was good and we were happy there, our Alpha and Beta were kind. But it all went to hell when both of them were killed and replaced by werewolves who beat up boys and raped girls. After they killed our parents and the Beta almost raped me, we had no choice but to leave.

Now, here we are, trying to find a new pack and we're weak and injured. We're twins, Nick and I, we're twenty two and mateless and born two minutes apart. But he's still very protective of me, not overprotective though. Just very protective.

No one wanted to come with us. They said they'd rather get used to abusive leaders than be lone wolves. I'd rather stay with my pack, but Nick was going and I didn't want us to be separated, so I went with him. I know that he regrets leaving, or letting me come with him, because we're both sore from our wounds. We're both too weak to heal ourselves.

We keep walking, with Nick in front of me. I feel myself starting to get weaker and weaker.

I don't think I can go anymore, I say to my brother.

Keep going, he says to me.

I keep going, not because I want to, because my twin does. He's taken care of both of us before, so I have faith in him and I always will.

We've been walking for about a week. It's been a week since I've eaten anything, since he's eaten anything too. We can't hunt a herd of deer if we're not in a pack. And we can't go to a restaurant if we can't transform into a human, and we're too weak to transform into a human.

A few minutes later, we find an alone deer, who's got quite a lot of meat on him. Before I know it, Nick pounces on him and kills him. Dinner. Nick looks at me and I go to the dead deer and eat a few muscles, so does my brother. We finish quickly and we leave no scraps. I lick my lips with satisfaction, because my stomach is full. Nick looks full too. This is the best meal I've had in months!

He then turns into a human and smiles at me. I turn into a human and smile back at him.

"We should go find a hotel and rest there. I think I have enough money for two nights with room service," Nick says, pulling out money from his pocket.

"Are you crazy?" I hiss, glaring at him. "The Alpha and Beta could find us and could do things to us. Going to a hotel would be too risky and dangerous. We need a pack."

"What pack? We have no pack to go to, Dakota!" Nick is right, but so am I and there's no other option because staying here is risky too.

"Where are we supposed to go, Nick?" He looks at me with concern and defeat and shrugs.

"We can't go to a hotel, you're right about that. We - "

"What are you two doing in our territory?" a very feminine, soft and gentle voice says. We look at the girl who looks our age - twenty three. The girl our age looks my height, has long straight dark brown hair, blue eyes and light skin.

"This is your territory?" Nick asks, raising an eyebrow at her.

"Yes. Actually, I'm not the Alpha, my brother is and my other brother is the Beta," she says.

"We're sorry, we'll go," I say.

She shakes her head quickly. "No, you can stay with our pack, if it's okay with my parents and brothers. Chances are they will let you stay because they're very kind and very understanding people."

I know she's lying. I know that her parents and brothers aren't understanding people or kind. Nick sighs. "They won't let us stay, will they?"

"I can convince them if you can convince me first. Tell me your story," she says.

"I'm Nick, I'm twenty two years old and this is my twin, Dakota. Our Alpha and Beta were killed and replaced by very abusive leaders. They killed our parents, didn't feed us, they beat us, nearly killed me and almost raped my sister," he says.

The girl looks at us with concern and sighs. "I'm Jessalyn, I'm twenty three years old. Come with me."
