The lone wolf

Chapter 1

* How it started *

I was just a pup. I was barely beginning to see the world and learn about it. I was barely recognizing my pack and starting to hang out with the other pups. I was shy but Mum forced me to saying it was for my own good. I enjoyed the company of one pup in particular. His name was Damian. I think he was the Alpha's son but i can't quite remember. My life was going great. I was in a good pack, not one of the greatest packs but we were well off. We had good fighters and lived in woods that held lots of game. I remember watching Mum hunt one day. She was skilled, even as a pup i could tell. It was peaceful and perfect. In one day, it all changed.

I woke up to sound of growls and crunches. Mum saw that I was awake and quickly took me to the farthest, darkest corner in our cave. She told me to stay put and not make a sound. I heard a menacing growl behind her and she spun around to face her attacker. From my spot I saw he had brown fur and hazel eyes. He was big, and had a few scratches and cuts but nothing too deep to indicate he was weak. Mum, on the other hand, had a dark grey almost silver fur and was small compared to him. She was fast but didn't have the same strength as him. She tried to back away from where she left me and the wolf attacked her. It was all a blur. I didn't see when she was hit or when she was down on the floor with blood dripping from her side. When I was able to register what happened I just stood there, not knowing what to do. I saw our attacker walk away with his paws and muzzle covered in blood. Mum's blood.

I slowly made my way to her and laid next to her. She was still warm but her chest didn't move. I stayed with her and closed my eyes, drowning out the yelps and howls of the wolves. I didn't want to see if my pack was being slaughtered or they were defeating our attackers. I honestly didn't care. I just wanted my Mum. With that, I blacked out.

When I awoke, it was all quiet. I looked to my left and Mum was lying there with her eyes closed, just like when I blacked out, except she wasnt warm anymore. She was icy cold, indicating she was dead. I reluctantly left her side, wanting to stay with her. I made my way to a tall rock and stood on it. I saw things a pup should of never seen. In front of me lay my pack, slaughtered in the most gruesome ways. Dislocated heads were scattered on the cave floor, bodies with organs spilling out, flesh that was ripped of was rotting away, and blood covering most of the floor and walls. I whimpered when my eyes fell on Damian. He had been slaughtered along with the other pups and his body had deep bites. I closed my eyes not wanting to see more. Suddenly, I felt unsafe. Not because of the bodies but of something else. The fur on the back of my neck was standing. A voice in my head told me to run, to get away from the cave. I ran as fast as my small body would allow.

I ran trying to not trip over the bodies and body parts of my pack. I ran outside of the cave and went right. I had never been out of the cave and never been in the forest. I tripped over fallen branches and twigs since I wasn't used to this. I ran until I felt my lungs would burst and my paws would fall off. I had reached a river by then and took a while to catch my breath. I bent down to the water and saw my reflection. I saw my dark brown almost black fur and my brown eyes. They almost matched my fur. It was then in that moment that I realized I had no one, I had no pack, no Mum and no one to help me.

~Author's note:

I hope you enjoyed the chapter!I'm still not sure when I will upload or if I even will upload often. Mostly because of my lack of wifi and that I'm still working out how the story will go. Comment ideas, questions, or tips or any mistakes I've made (I don't really proofread). One habit is that I use commas a lot, I can't help it :b I dont expect much reads but to those who took time to read it: Thanks :)! Btw srry if it's short :-/
