Chapter 2

Here I am. I fell only a few hours ago and I'm already in danger. Werewolves. They don't seem to know what I am yet and I would like to keep it that way. 'I need to escape.' I think.

I woke up a short while ago and the first thing I saw was some creepy guy staring at me like he could see into my soul. I feel drawn towards him though, like I need to be near him.

Before I can think any more about him, I focus on my surroundings. Now that I'm out of the house, I can see that I am in a forest. It is quite creepy here and I want to leave.

Hurrying through the trees, I hear heavy footfalls in the distance, gradually getting closer. I need to hide. The first thing that comes to mind is to climb a tree and wait until they leave.

Climbing is harder than it looks. After a few attempts, I finally reach the top of the tree, obscured from their view. Voices start to become louder as they approach. They have shifted back to human form. I listen to what they are saying.

"She must be around here somewhere. If we don't find her, Alpha Jay will have our heads on a stick."

"Keep looking then. I don't want to know what will happen if he loses his mate just after he finally finds her."

The wind suddenly picks up and I wobble, letting out a startled gasp. They all look up.

"There she is! Come down now, girl, we don't want to hurt you."

I ignore him and scramble higher up the tree.

"Fine, be like that. I will just have to come up after you. Luke, make sure she can't get away when I put her down."

He swiftly climbs my tree and within seconds is by my side smirking at me.

"Did you really think you could escape?"

I shrug, not sure what to say.

"Climb back down now and come back with us. We can help you."

"No..."

"Why not?"

"You're lycan. You're dangerous."

"So you know about us? Well this makes things easier for everyone. Climb down now."

"I can't."

He sighs and throws me carelessly over his shoulder. I elbow him in the rib while he carries me down.

"We are going back to the pack house now. You are going to come with us. Never try to escape again. Come on, Jay is waiting."

I keep my head down and silently follow them. A single tear rolls down my cheek. 'Im never going to get away.'

The pack house comes into view and I feel depressed knowing that this will be my prison for many years to come. The one whose name I learned is Luke turns around and says "don't mind Kyle, he just hasn't found his mate yet and feels like its his job to make everyones lives miserable."

I smile at him 'he might not be so bad, at least I'll have one friend here.' We approach the entrance. The big wooden doors swing open and I find myself stepping into a beautiful lounge area, with everything anyone could ever want in it.

Someone strides towards our group and the people around me part to make way for him.

"Alpha." Kyle states.

"Kyle. I see you have brought my little mate back for me. Thank you."

Kyle nods and the group around us disperses, as if following some unspoken command.
