"Breathe in, breathe out. Slow your heartbeat." I thought to myself while slammed up against a tree. C'mon Jackson, come on!!! My newly sharp senses were in a frenzy. Loud sounds and pungent smells were coming from everywhere. I heard the crack of a branch and froze. I whipped my head over to where I heard the sound. Nothing but pitch black darkness. I sighed.

With a slash to my throat, the alpha threw me against a tree and stalked off into the darkness. Fighting to keep consciousness, I panted and held onto my throat for as long as I could. As the dark was closing in, I heard a familiar voice screaming my name. Then it was all dark.
