Henry POV

Black enclosed me. A call of help tried escape from my dry throat as I lost all sense of direction and sanity. My ears were only open to the continuous thumping of my heart and slow intake of breath.

The cold floor under my finger tips disappeared as my mind drifted through my memories. Sad ones passed, liked the time when my family turned against each other and I ran away from home.

I never heard from my sister again until after her un explainable death. I only wish I got to see her one last time before she went.

The death of my mother after my sister left home and eventually the murder of my father in cold blood followed in my mind.

The memory of trees and houses race past just like they did when I ran away.

#flashback#

The huge pack house rose up in my view. It was still glamorous even though it was only one story. I ran up to the front door and shifted. I knocked on the door hard. Footsteps answered it. The door squeaked as it swung open to reveal the alpha of the pack.

"Yes?" He asked looking down at me, because I was kneeling down on the front steps.

"I have come to beg of you to accept me into your pack. I ask you of this because I have run away from my own pack, they have been destroyed and over run." I bowed my head in respect like I've seen many others do to alphas or high in commands.

"What's your name son?" He spoke boldly.

I began to panic, I couldn't use my usual name otherwise I would get caught.

"Henry." I suddenly spoke out, "ahh Henry Daniels."

"I, Alpha Xavier of the lone wolves pack, except Henry Daniels to become a neutral in pack life." He spoke without hesitation.

The alpha was in his mid-40s and his grey hairs were starting to show.

That day was the day I forgot my past life and focused on my new one.

The memory changed.

It was the day of deciding who was to the position of new alpha of the lone wolves pack. I had been part of the pack for a long time now and Xavier unfortunately died leaving the throne to his next heir. But I hardly tolerated being pushed around by others so I decided to make up my mind to fighting for the position.

Xavier had three children: Jack, his eldest son, 20 years of age; Daythan, middle son 18 years of age; and Crystal his only daughter, 17years of age.

Jack was the only one left in the pack who could be heir because crystal was forced into marriage to another pack, and Daythan ran away to be with his rouge mate.

Anyway jack hadn't found his mate, making him vulnerable. Where as I had, my mate was Patricia, a low ranking wolf who was always bullied by the high ones because of her weak frame and low status.

"I challenge Jack, heir to the alpha position of the lone wolves pack , to fight me in the event over the position of alpha male." I spoke up gaining everyone's attention.

I could feel some people sigh in relief that Jack may not become alpha after all, he was a genuine prick and everyone knew that except him.

"Challenge accepted!" He yelled out to over confident.

I chuckled as he took of his jacket and threw it over to the side. He walked up to me trying his best to size me up but I was older by two years and had special blood which could easily over power any alpha male.
