Alpha Runner

Introduction

~3rd person POV~

"What do you think we should do with him, Alpha?" A man from the crowd asked. 

"I'm not sure," said a deep voice from the man referred to as 'Alpha'. 

"I think we should burn him over the fire alive, next full moon, that way the moon goddess can catch his ashes and forgive us for whatever wrongful deed we did to deserve such a cursed boy among our pack," said another man, many voices in the audience agreed. 

"So it may be! Next full moon we burn him over the fire!" The Alpha yelled over the voices, and the crowd roared up.

~Runner boy's POV~

"Mommy, do I have to go?" I asked, staring up at her with wide blue eyes that seemed to reflect the stars in the sky.

"Yes, Adam, I'm so sorry but they don't want you here and they won't let me leave with you. Now, you listen," my mom said, and crouched down to my level, "you keep running, no matter what, your life depends on it." She ran a hand over my freshly buzz-cut hair. I didn't like it this short, but mom said there's more of a chance I won't be recognized. "You have enough food in your bag for about two days, then you'll have to hunt, just like I taught you, and you'll have to find fresh water."

"Mommy, will I ever see you again?" I asked, I didn't want to leave her behind.

"I don't know. Its time to go now," my mother said before she hugged me one last time and nudged me to go. I ran out of the field and into the forest.

I did what she told me to, I ran. I ran for almost 24 hours straight before I stopped to rest and eat before I was off again. My mom was right, she packed me about 2 days worth of food. Once I finished the food she packed me I shifted into my wolf, grey on the belly, fading into my jet black back.

From there I mostly walked for another month, until I found a place to stay for a bit. I started to live a lifestyle of finding a place, staying for a few months, then moving south-west, following the prey and stayed there for a few months before walking for another month north-west.

This lifestyle wasn't bad, especially once I forgot about how I lived before. The first thing I forgot was how it felt being around other people, and a pack. If I ever saw someone, which was rare, I would run the other direction. I didn't want to risk them bringing me back to a place that wanted me dead.

 Next, I forgot about my home and my mother. I couldn't remember what it was like living in a house, not just out in the wild, and the image of my mother also faded with time. I knew I missed her, I missed her caring arms around me when I was down, but I didn't need it. The next thing I forgot was that I could even turn into a human at all. It was just me, and I had no need for human contact.

The final thing I forgot was my name. I was always alone and never heard my name, so it just seemed to slip away with everything else I had forgotten. I didn't get lonely, I didn't need anyone else if they thought that I was sent as a curse. I didn't need anyone else, just me. Just so long as I was healthy and well fed I didn't need -or want- anyone else.

At least, that's what I thought.

This book has some violent scenes, but nothing too sexual.

There's going to be a book with Jazmine's POV on everything.

I'm going to start publishing this book mid-June probably.

Character Descriptions

Jazmine Clark is 5'8" girl with blonde hair that reaches her lower back when down, even though she usually has it pulled up into a ponytail. She has emerald green eyes and likes to wear skin tight shirts and skinny jeans with boots that hug her legs and go halfway up her calves.

Ryan Clark is Jazmine's father and the alpha of his pack. He's got the usual muscles of an alpha and stands six feet tall, the same green eyes as Jazmine, and wears jeans and muscle shirts. He refuses to remarry since his mate died during childbirth when Jazmine was born, this means that Jazmine's mate will be the next Alpha.
