The Rejected Shadow

HUMAN.

The pic above is who I thought to be alpha John.... And his wolf.

(Alpha John POV)
It was 10 at night and I had not even finished half the paper work that I had to do..... Being the alpha to one of the biggest and strongest packs in the USA had it's privileges.....but the amount of paper work was enormous!!!!.
"John want to go for a perimeter run???". My beta Cliff asked, through our mind link... Looking at the papers in front of me I knew the answer.
"Be down in 5 cliff". I replied.
Coming down to the yard both of us shifted into our wolf's, mine was a greyish wolf and cliffs was a sandy brown one...
I let my wolf Menno run free....
We were checking the perimeters....when we smelt the stench of rogues.... Looking at cliff I called for our warriors.... Within 7 minutes 4 of the best were with us... And just 5 minutes later as we were searching for the scent of the rouge were heard two shots and someone screaming. We ran to the sound and my warriors killed the rogue who was laughing manically and holding a gun,
turning around my wolf lead me to a small girl.... Maybe 17 or 18 years old, she was lying face forward in the grass and she had two bullets in her. My wolf immediately crouched down to it's hind legs and submitted to her, I was surprised at him... "Menno what's wrong with you?." I asked trying to understand what he was doing
"Shes no human John, shes special...... And shes greater than us. Come on shift.... And pick her up..... John come on;!!" He whined to me and let me shift.
Then I picked up the girl and when I touched her she was burning up, and not becoming cold like they normally should
Placing her on one of my warriors wolf, I shifted back into my wolf and rushed to the pack doctor for whom I had already called, once we had given her to to Vance's care , one if my warriors asked me,
"What's wrong with our wolf's alpha?. "
"I have no idea... " I replied
But I was going to find out.
Once I was back in my office, I thought, if she's not human, then she's a threat to us. So maybe we should put her in the........
"Don't you dare put her in the dungeon John. "
Why though?. What's your thing with her?
"I don't know John.... She's greater and stronger than us...That's all I know,and its not right to put her in there with traitors, she hasn't done anything wrong... "
"Just this once I'll listen to you". I said and he nodded and kept quiet.

Two days later, I was in the room where the girl was kept in, when she stirred and when she opened her eyes she looked straight at me, it looked like as if she was looking looking at my soul, and my wolf howled and bowed down inside my head to her,
She started scooting away from me when I tried to touch her
I rushed to reassure her
"Hey don't get up.... You've been hurt,try and relax OK?... I won't hurt you.... " she simply nodded but didn't relax herself completely and asked
"What is this place.....???"
How do I tell a human that this is a pack house?.
"Umm..... My house.... ". I said simply,
"Ohh. OK.... ". She said
"What's your name?. ". I asked
"Alexis. " she said
Then Vance came in and said
"Alpha, we need to check her, if you could wait outside?. "
"Sure. ". I said and left the room and went to my office

10 minutes later, Vance came into my office and said,
" alpha she's been hurt a lot by someone, that's why she has a lot of cracked bones and now she has a broken rib, that might be due to the fall she took, and she doesn't look like as if she's from here. She doesn't even want to talk about it. Shes sleeping now, since I gave her a sedative for her body can recover,"
"It's OK Vance, she'll talk when she's ready," I said

A week later

Alexis now was using the guest room and she looked like she was healing quite nicely, but no one in the pack had made her feel welcome at all...that's mostly my fault. Cause I have been rude to her too....

Two days later she knocked on my office door and came in....
"Hey," she said looking down
"What happened?. Is something wrong?." I asked worried
"Umm no... But.... Theres something I want to ask... " she said and
Then she showed me her wrist and there was a set of intricate lines, just at her veins
Is this your pack tattoo??? . she asked...., she somehow knew that we were werewolf's and she seemed quite OK with it...
"No .. It's not, our tattoos are bigger and tribal like not this small and this looks like some random lines drawn together..." I said a little roughly
"Yea. I know.... I thought it was like that too, cause I don't like tattoo's, " she said softly
"It might go off in a few days, now can you leave?.... I was busy" I was irritated with her
"I am sorry alpha, I'll leave now." She said and left the room.
I knew I was being harsh to her but what do you expect if she gets more respect from our wolf's than me?. Their alpha!.
And shes just a small human.!.

But in my heart I knew that what I did was wrong..... But I couldn't help it I wouldn't allow anyone else to take away my position.
