Prologue

I walk into work heartbroken again. Another relationship down the drain. I put my whole heart into this one and he just didn't feel that I was what he wanted. He said that I will make some man really happy and I believe he is right. I have some one out there that was made just for me. He is wandering around anywhere on this earth, I just have given up hope.

We are taught as children that having that one soul mate is what we are destined for. I laughed and assumed it was just another fairy tale my mother and father wanted to tell me and my sister. They liked us to stay young and innocent as long as possible, because once we were of age we would find our mates and have a higher calling. Because we were both females we would possibly be taken from my parents.

I was sitting at my desk staring at my dark screen knowing I need to turn it on and get going with my work, but I just feel down. I know that he wasn't for me, but I still had my heart set on it working out.

I hear some heavy footsteps and know its my friend Allie behind me. She taps my head and stares at me. I don't look up and this prompts her to flick my ear.

"ouch" I whisper.

"Jenny, I know you felt that, whats wrong?" She grabs another rolling chair and sits next to me.

"Phillip broke up with me. Another bites the dust. Is it me? "

"Are you kidding me?? Screw that jerk! He wasn't you mate anyways so don't let it phase you! Now lets get going!"

I look at her confused and she laughs a little.

"Conference in 5 minutes girl. Didnt you read your emails before you left?"

"Shit!" I grab my notebook and pen and head to the huge conference room down the way.

The thing I never told you about myself is that I am a werewolf. My family is of Gammas. My father is a Gamma and before him, and before him. It is in our line to be strong, but not leaders. We are part of the White Winter Pack. It has been this way for decades.

I have been working as a personal assitant for a book editor at the Hughes LLC firm here in Georgia for about 4 years now. I love my job and wouldn't change my life for anything, but if I do find my mate I know I may loose everything. In our clan I have met every male and know there are none that are mine. My boss Levi Mortenson has been a great man and allowed me freedom as long I do my job that he has asked.

I go through the whole day as if it is a blurr only to come home to an empty apartment. I sigh and put down my keys and start to take off my clothes. I walk to my shower, turn it on, and wait for it to heat up. I love the water to burn my skin and I needed that tonight. I was in the shower when I heard the glass break.

I stop as if I have been slapped. I look around and wonder where the sound came from. I step out of the shower and I just wait to hear anything at all. I can hear a shuffle and I immediately mind link my father.

"FATHER, someone is in my apartment. I heard a glass break and then shuffling. I'm in the bathroom. "

"Jennifer, lock the door, a few of the warriors and I are on our way. "

I re-check the door is open and then i sit on the toilet just waiting. The pack house is only a few miles away and I know dad will be here within a few minutes. I hear a door slam and hear yells, grunts, howls, and then silence.

I put my nose in the air to smell death and blood. I hear someone coming to the bathroom and then a knock at the door. Its my dad I can smell him on the other side. I run to the door and slam my body into him putting my head into his chest. He strokes my hair and hugs me tight. Being the child of a Gamma, Beta, or Alpha always has its consequences.

He pulls my chin to his face and smirks at me. "Are you alright? "

"Yes, thank you daddy. I am sorry I had to call you, but given the state I'm in...." I trail off, but he just smiles bigger.

"I enjoy saving you sweetie pea. But, this was the third rogue in the last month. I think we need to move you back to pack house. Please tell me we can get you home?"

I think a minute before I nod to him and he lets me go.

"I will pack my things now. Give me a little bit. "

He nods and goes back out to my living area. I pull out my bags and start to pile as much of my clothes and shoes and essentials that I can. I begin to finally break down and this takes longer then I hoped. I sit down and look at myself. I realize that I am still in my towel. I grab a pair of whitewash jeans and a solid black razer back tank. Throw on some of my cute flip flops and yell for the guys to start grabbing my things.

We are about to leave the door when we catch the sent. Rogues. More are coming. We stack in the truck and drive off as fast as possible. What can be going on?? Why now?? Could this day get any worse.
