I tap my nails on the concrete as I wait for them to come. I know what they'll do, they will come in here, beat me a bit, leave me the tiniest bit of food and water, then leave.

"Alpha wanted us to take her to his office." I hear someone say and I perk up. "Why?" I hear the beta ask, "I'm not sure, he just wants her up there." They come unto view and stop at my cell, great. "Come on, runt," I stay seated, not wanted to get up and not having the energy to get up.

"Runt," he says, anger rising into his voice. I stay still. "Runt," his voice rises and he opens the cell, I stand and he lets out a sigh. He walks over to me and stinging erupts on my skin as my head whips to the side.

He grabs hold of my upper arm and forced me forward, I stumble and feel a blow to my back, knocking the air out of me. I cough sligtly as he forces me forwards once again, what does Alpha want with me?

He shoves me into his office and pushes me down, so I collapse on my knees with my head down looking at the ground. "You may leave," I hear retreating footsteps and the door closes.

"I'm sure you're curious as to why you are here," a light nod of my head. "Well, I have to hide you, you see," what? "For an Alpha is here who mustn't know of your existence."

Why? What is so special about me?

"So you will stay in here and not make a sound, if you let him know you are here, it will be maximum punishment." A shiver runs down my spine and I stay still. "He will be here shortly, don't get any ideas," he walks around me, opening the door and exiting.

"I mean it, runt." My face hardens as he closes the door. Anger boils in me. Be calm. A faint voice enters my head and I jump. Be calm. It repeats.

There is no need to fret, we will be saved soon, he will save us.

I look up slowing and cringe, closing my eyes as they meet the rays of sunlight shining through the window. Don't look, the light will hurt.

No duh captain obvious. I think to myself. Excuse me for wanting to help. The voice says. Are you my. . My wolf? I question, remembering my mother speak of a wolf that you would get in your mind once you were of age.

Yes, my name is Ashley.

How? I question, not understanding how I could have one when I am so malnour-- wait, it couldn't be because.

I sense him, he is close.

There is no way I could possibly. . I couldn't. . No, she must be mistaken. I am not, would I be here if I was? I shake my head, it's not possible.

But it is.

I shift into human form and stop, my beta comes up next to me. "Can you sense her?" He asks, "I sense something," I say before I start walking forwards again. "Alpha Nightly! Pleasure to have you here!" The Alpha of this pack says as he walks out of the door, stepping off the porch.

"I'm glad you allowed me to come," I say shaking his hand once he gets up to me. "Well of course is would! I understand wanting your mate, though I must say I am upset that I will be losing one of my loyal pack members."

"Maybe," says my Beta and I send him a quick glance. "So I here you had to travel a long ways to get here," the Alpha says as we begin walking. "Ah, yes, my pack is about five thousand miles away from here, it took us a few days, but I hadn't found her anywhere else near my pack."
