Little Red Wolf [ON HOLD]

Chapter 1

Adrenaline pumped through my veins as I felt the mist filled breeze hit my face. My mind should be racing by now, but there was nothing. I couldn't think, I couldn't feel, and I'm pretty sure if my body wasn't kicked into overdrive, I probably wouldn't even be breathing.

Ellie. The border was three hundred miles back east. We need to seriously stop and rest.

I slowed to a stop and turned to Peter, my green eyes meeting his brown ones. I noticed his wolf's laboured breathing, and realized how exhausted we both were. I nodded once before slipping behind a bush to shift back. I threw on some sweats and a hoodie, and noticed my long brown hair was starting to curl slightly from the drizzle. Why did it have to be raining?

"Where are we Peter?" I asked softly as I stepped out and slung on my backpack. He was dressed in a similar manner, adorned in sweats and a black t-shirt.

"GPS says Olympia, Washington. There's a motel about 3 miles from here. Do you want me to carry your bag? Are your feet tired? Want a piggyback ride?" I rolled my eyes. He's always such a worry-wart, ever since we were little kids. But, no matter how many times he denies it, Peter does have a soft spot for me.

"I may be the alpha's daughter, but I'm not a helpless princess." I said glaring at my current, and future beta. I will assume my place as alpha once I turn eighteen, and Peter was suppose to begin at the same time, but circumstances arose, and Peter's commencement was pushed ahead.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," he commented with a smug smile. If I wasn't so worn out from the events which unfolded twenty-four hours ago, I would've smacked him across the head.

After thirty minutes, we arrived at a small, run down motel. Compared to the pack house back in Montana, it was barely decent, but served its purpose. Once we entered our room, I dropped my bag on the floor and just flopped back on one of the twin beds, covering my face with my arms. "I'll shower first." Peter said softly before leaving me to my thoughts. He knew I wanted some alone time, and needed time to process everything.

Before I knew it, hot tears rolled down my face as everything came crashing down.

We were now rouge.

Thank you, and I hope you stick along with me in the long-haul!
