River's POV

I've been with Chris and his mom and dad for three days now and I'm all healed and almost back to my full strength. Chris's mom Sarah is just days away from giving birth and thanks to my wolf hearing I know she wants me gone by the time the baby comes. Chris doesn't want me to go but I know I have to. So, today I am to say good bye to Chris and search for a new pack. I only have a month before I turn into a feral rogue so i'm slightly pressed for time. Right now Chris and his friends are at school and his mom is resting while his dad takes care of her. John (Chris's Dad) is really nice and like Chris also wanted to keep me, but Sarah thinks I'll be a danger to the baby. Which I understand. Who would want a wolf around a newborn? So, I am currently trying to find a way to get out of the house when I find an open door. When I go in I find myself in the bathroom. Looking around I find an open window. It's pretty high up and I can't reach it. Dang. So I leave the bathroom when I hear the front door open. I turn the corner and see that it's John coming back with Sarah's latest craving. I walk up to John and sit at his feet. He pets my head and says, "Hey Winter!" they named me winter because of my white fur. I can't talk to humans so they don't know my name is River. I walk over to the door and paw at it and whimper. "Do you have to go to the bathroom?" I jump around and grin a wolfy grin. He walks up to the door and opens it. I walk out onto the porch and look at him one last time as if to say goodbye then wolf kiss his hand. He pets my head and I take off into the woods. I can hear him calling for me. He knows I might not come back. I run and run for several hours enjoying stretching my legs and feeling the wind through my fur.

Time skip

I've been running for a solid week with a few rest and food stops along the way. I'm a couple states away from Chris and his family. By now Sarah will have given birth and Chris and John will have forgotten about me with their attention on the new baby. I take a running break at a pond and get some water. I'm about to start running again when I hear a growl. I look over and I see three wolves. One brown, one a rusty grey and another a black color. I sniff the air. They aren't rogues but they aren't normal wolves either. What are they? I'm watching them closely when the rusty grey one shifts into a human?! Okay, what is going on?! I remember my dad used to tell Avalon and me stories about humans that could turn into wolves. We are twice as strong, big, fast and fighters that they are. But they are still fierce warriors. By now all of them are shifted into fully clothed humans and staring at me hard. "Shift!" One of them says. He was the rusty grey. So I'll call him RG. I tilt my head. I'm not a werewolf! "Shift!!" RG commands in a voice that reeks of power. He's obviously the Beta. His voice is powerful but not as much as an alpha. I look at him confused and he sniffs the air then looks at me with wide eyes. "She's not a were. She's a wolf." Their faces turn from hard glares to looks of respect. "That's why she's so much bigger then we are." the other one says. He's the black wolf so I'll just call him Night. "Look at her eyes they are different colors. I've only read about wolves with different color eyes. They are said to be very wise and hold great power." The last one says. He's the brown wolf so I'll call him mud. "Do you have a pack?" Night asks sitting down next to me. I shake my head no and he strokes my fur. I internally whimper. He makes me miss Chris. I wonder if he misses me too... "Come on girl. You want to go to the pack house?" Mud asks. I nod my head yes and follow them to their pack house. To a new home and a new life...

Chris's POV

"Mom! Dad! We're back from the school trip!"

((A/N): they went on a biology trip and his mom had baby Annaleigh while he was gone. His dad didn't tell him about River.)

I holler as Jake, Dan and I walk into the house. "In the kitchen!" I hear my dad respond. We walk into the kitchen were my dad is holding Annaleigh, feeding her a bottle. I motion for dad to hand her to me and he does. I smile at my sister and rock her gently. "Dude you look like a dad." Jake says raiding my fridge for food. I roll my eyes and look at my dad. He looks upset. "Dad what's wrong?" he looks at Snow's bed and it hits me. "She's gone?" "There's nothing I could do son. She's a wild animal. She's not meant to be a house pet." "What happened?" I ask through gritted teeth. Jake notices my tightening grip on my sister and motions for me to hand her to him. I gently place her in his arms and clench my fists. "She walked up to the front door and pawed at it and whimpered. I thought she just had to go to the bathroom. She gave me a look that looked like she was telling me good bye. She kissed my hand then ran into the woods. I'm sorry." He put a hand on my shoulder but I jerk away from it. "How could you not look for her?" I say shaking with anger. I love her! how could he let her leave!? "Dude chill. It's just a dog." Dan says eating some left over spaghetti. I glare daggers at him and he just shrugs his shoulders. "She's a wolf not a dog." I snap at him. "Whatever dude." He says walking out the door. 'What is wrong with him?' I think to myself as Jake hands me my sister. He leaves the house after his mom called him to have him come home. I put Annaleigh in her bassinet in her room and go to my room across the hall. I lie on my bed and stare at the ceiling. I wonder if Snow misses me like I miss her...
