Chapter 14

Lucy's P.O.V

I open my eyes to see something very interesting. Snow. Well I'm glad I slept under a tree, only the flurries got me.

I stand up and shake off. Uh Oh. Right next to Maddie, she starts shuffling and she wakes up. She jerks up and shakes off at the beautiful winter wonderland.

I see her concentrate on something then all the snow evaporates off of her. Oh yeah. Powers.

Well we won't be able to shift anytime soon. Our clothes are soaked! I take off into the winter land, not knowing where I'm going I skid right onto the pond. We have at least a foot of snow so it seems like this ice is fine.

Maddie, standing out as a red wolf, comes speeding onto the pond. She slides across the whole pond and ends up on the other side.

We've been traveling for days and I can't tell what day of the week it is-

'Lucy! Lucy! Are you there?'

It's Nick!

'Yes! Nick! is that you?!'

I reply

'What happened? Why couldn't we find you?'

Nick asks,

'Yeah why can't we find you?'

Typical Jack

'How are you, Nick are you the leader of our pack now?' I ask,

'Yes but there is also some news,' Nick says

'Ok good or bad I'm ready to hear it,' I say

'Ok' He starts. 'After you left we were attacked again. They knew we weren't as strong now that you had gone.'

I feel a pint of guilt as he continues,

'Haley was killed in battle and Ivy fell into depression ad started to cut. My pack has fallen apart. Just because you left.'

'We are trying to find our way home Nick, also I kinda found my mate.'

'Wait a minute, WE?' He says,

'Yes I met a girl named Maddie she is Ivy's age and has already shifted. She's a little but smaller than usual though.'

Silent.

'Yeah well find your way home, fast we need you.'

'Ok'

I look at Maddie and nod. Were breaking into my mate's house.

I nod to Maddie and I take off in front of her. We sneak in the back door that hasn't been fixed when I broke through.

The door to the dinner table room is open surprisingly. I sneak through, we quietly make our way to the pack's alpha office.

There is a doggie door, we go through and my mate perks up and he shifts? Why would you shift when you just smell your mate?

We sneak into the closet and hide there. I feel his scent come closer to the door and he shifts and opens it.

(He has clothes on)

Hi eyes go wide at the sight of his mate and a wolf. Then his eyes darken and he growls loudly. He must think that Maddie is a boy.

Then his eyes are struck with realization "you need clothes?" his voice is soft and velvety yet deep and makes me think of roses.

We nod and he goes into another closet and grabs out some pants and shirts. Maddie and I take the clothes in our mouths and we shift and dress in the closet.

Maddie comes out first and she sits down. I come out looking at my feet and sit down next to Maddie.

He comes up to me and pushes a strand of my cinnamon hair behind my ear. He lifts my chin and and looks into my eyes.

Time stops it's just me and him. His eyes are in a fight between a striking silver and a piercing grey.

"Your name?" He whispers his voice soft and deep.

"Lucy, yours?" I say quietly and look away.

"Alex. As if you might know I'm Mason's brother."
