The Runaways

Chapter 1: Hollie's POV

I continued to walk through the forest shaking my ass off. I had only tattered clothes with no shoes on. It was turning fall soon and I was not prepared at all. I should be used to the cold after all I was forced to not wear anything, but undergarments for 4 hours straight during the winter. Of course I wasn't used to it. It snowed a lot during the winter in North Carolina. I wish I lived in Louisiana it hardly ever got cold during winters. But my stupid parents liked the cold. I wish I could find some sort of food out here.

I looked around and saw some angry wolves. I started to shake uncontrollably and then suddenly my empty stomach growled. I heard a deep low growl behind me. I turned around to see a black bear. I was now shaking way to much and could see the wolves alpha growling at the black bear. I started to run, but then the bear slashed and clawed my back. I screamed in pain then looked at the wolves pleadingly hoping they would help me. Suddenly agonizing pain ran through my head, abdomen, mouth, and hands. I closed my eyes feeling a tail wagging and ears twitching. I opened my eyes to see wolf ears on my head, a wolf tail on my upper abdomen, some of my teeth sharpened, and my fingernails turn into claws. I got an urge to kill the bear and glared at it. I slowly got up growling at the bear, then I ran at it at full speed. I jumped on it biting its neck until I could taste blood. It roared in pain has I yanked the skin and fur off its neck I was biting. A lot of blood was gushing out of its neck. I clawed open its chest, blood coming out while I ripped out its ribs. Organs like the heart, kidneys, small and large intestines, lungs, and others in the chest fell out.

I was grinning insanely until I heard a baby wolf whimper. My face softened, then I skinned the bear and gave the meat to the wolves. I walked over to a lake and looked at myself. I had blood all over me and my eyes were slits. I frowned then took off my clothes jumping into the lake cleaning myself of the metallic smelling blood. It took me only a minute or two, then I got out of the lake shook myself dry and put on my tattered clothes. Painfully I retracted my claws that turned back into finger nails. My fingers were bleeding, so I dipped them into the water once. I looked at the wolves and saw they left me some of the meat.

"Take it you were the one to kill it!" A hyper little girl voice said.

I looked at the little wolf pup that whimpered at me before. I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Did you say that?" I asked the pup.

"Yep!" She barked.

I picked up the meat then took a bite of it it tasted good, but I think that was my 'wolf side' talking. I finished the meat then smiled at the wolves.

"So what's your name little one?" I asked

"I'm Julie!" She barked. "What's your name?"

"I'm Hollie." I said smiling at her.

"Hello Hollie I'm the alpha female Jenna and this is my husband the alpha male Dan." Jenna said in a sweet voice.

Dan had huffed and rolled his eyes.

"Are there any Betas?" I asked.

"My parents are the betas!" Julie yipped. "Their names are Phil and Liza."

I nodded and started to get to know all of the wolves. There was Storm, Silver, Collie, Cookie, Tony, David, Blake, Cameron, and many others. They had two omegas who were named Star and Lucas. They were all really nice to me. Guess it wasn't everyday they got a werewolf in their pack. Their pack's name was Wildwood. There were other packs like Stargazer, Darkstorm, BlackAngels, and many more packs.

Everyday I had a schedule; exercise, breakfast, hunt, play with the pups, lunch, help others, more hunting, training, dinner, nighttime howl, and bedtime. I actually had family and friends that cared about me. One day Jenna thought me how to transform into a wolf. It was really hard and agonizingly painful. I got it down the first few tries, but it hurt a lot and took a lot of energy. Jenna said transforming would get a lot easier and a lot less painful once you get used to it which is a good thing. One day while I was alone the alpha male walked up to me.

"What happened to you before you came here?" He asked.

My eyes started to water when he asked that and I started shaking remembering what happened to me.

"Honey she'll tell us when she's ready to tell us." Jenna scowled him when she walked in.

"Fine..." Dan said walking off.

Jenna smiled at me. "It's ok sweetie. We can wait until you're ready to say."

"T-thanks." I said smiling at her, then I wiped away my tears.

"No thank you. You turned this pack around." She said.

"How?" I asked.

"You've made everyone happier especially the pups." She replied.

"Your welcome Alpha female." I said smiling.

"You can just call me Jenna or Jen." She said.

"Ok Jen." I replied.

She then left me alone to think about my new happy life with everyone. I smiled then turned in for the night.
