Malachi's POV
It's early in the afternoon, I made the rash decision to go for a long run. I rum up stairs and quickly grab a shirt and shorts, then I quickly run outside the the edge of the forest. I place the clothes into a hollow of a near by tree, just to make sure that no one sees them a takes them.

I shift into my wolf, tearing my clothes in the process. It doesn't hurt that much anymore, it's feels like I'm stretching my muscles. I hear the cracking of my bones  and soon enough I'm in my wolf form. My wolf is a big and jet black, except on the tips of both of my ears are white. Also my feet are white and it makes him look like he is wearing socks.

When I'm in my wolf form, my wolf Liam takes over and I sit in the back of my mind. I can see and feel everything he does, we make decision together, as I ultimately control him. Rarely I lose control of Liam, mostly when I am enraged or lustful.

I bolt into the woods, I love the feeling under my paws, the rough terrain and the constant fresh smell in the air. After running around for a few hours I'm tired, from running around and chasing wild animals, to running through the nearby stream, I am tired. Liam and I both decided that we should take a rest, we wander around until we find an abandoned fox hole. It is wide enough for my wolf to crawl through, barely. I lay down and close my eyes, falling asleep to the soft pitter patter of the surrounding small critters. I smell rain in the air, when I wake up it will surely be raining.

I woke up a few hours later I guess as the sun is almost down. The sky is orange and pink, a nice hue over the land. I run about for a bit longer, until I catch a scent. It smells amazing, I immediately know it so my mate. I need to find her I thought,I need to follow the scent before it fades. I run in the direction of the pine and jasmine scent. It grows stronger and soon enough I am upon her. I can see her through the trees, she is howling. I can tell by just looking at her large wolf that she is strong.

Her wolf is large, she looks as tall as my wolf. She is white with black tip ears and black paws. She is the opposite of my wolf, she is beautiful and has shinning fur. Her wolf eyes are silver, I could look at them all day as I get a brief look into them. She caught onto me, if I can smell her scent she can surely smell mine. I put one paw forward, planning to walk over to her, she moves closer to me. I growl lowly, she immediately stops, she starts to whine, probably questioning why I growled at her. I walk around her in a circle, getting s full view of her wolf.

I signal my head to a tree near by, telling her to shift. When she walks over to the tree I shift, only realising that  I forgot my spare clothes. "F**k", I then remember that this is still part of my territory and that this is common place where young pack members shift for the first time. Spare clothes are always left for if they forgot. I roam around the near by hollow trees and lucky me, I find a pair of shorts. I quickly slip them on and as I turn around, my mate walks out from behind the tree. "She is gorgeous!!" My wolf Liam said and I couldn't help but agree.

She is tall with a slim, curvy figure. She has long brown hair with emerald coloured eyes and pink plump lips. She found a dress from in the tree as she is wearing a light blue, mid thigh summer dress.

"What is your name, mate", I didn't want to keep referring to her as 'she', 'her', but I still love calling her mate. She looks up at me and says, "Macey". "What a beautiful name for a beautiful mate", and Macey blushed instantly. "I'm Malachi, but you probably already knew that."

"Why are you out here all by yourself, and obviously I don't mind now knowing who you are now, but why were you on my land?" Macey looked down, blushing while looking embarrassed and then mumbled after a while ,"I was running, trying to catch up with my little brother. He had his first shift tonight and ran off as soon as he shifted." 'He should be fine' Liam said in my head. I would of been made aware if there was an attack or anything else bad. He surely ran home.

"Don't worry, he probably ran back home after going through such a painful and frightful night." She nodded to herself, looking like she was having a conversation with her wolf. " I need to go home and make sure my brother made it home safe." No, she can't leave, I won't let her, father always said to never let your mate go once you found him or her.

"No, I won't let you leave me.....not like everyone else." I mumbled the last part.
"You don't understand, is need to find him, he will be confused and disorientated after his shift, please let me go."

The way she said 'please let me go' reminds me of my mother. Just her saying that enraged me, I start to shake with rage and look at her and I can tell my wolf is trying to emerge. She looks at me, more specifically my now black eyes, with a frightened face and takes a step back, shaking with fear. No, I will force her to stay with me.
I raised my voice and yelled "No, and that is final. You will stay with me even if I have to drag you back to my pack, and you wouldn't like me then." I smirk at her.

"No"she yells and then runs.

If I was enraged before, now I am 10 times worse. My wolf takes over as my eyes are now black with a hint of red in the centre meaning I am out for blood. I run after her in human form, as I am still faster than her in human form.

After running for a few minutes, I see her blue dress on the ground, she has shifted.

I decide to shift, hopefully to pick up her scent better. I bolt off in he same direction as Macey went and soon catch up to her. I see her drinking from the stream from the top of the hill and I run up over the small hill and land on her. Forget about hurting her, she disobeyed me, she will be punished.

My claws dig into her back and she howls our in pain. Her wolf collapsed onto the ground, I spun her on her back, showing me her wolfs exploded belly. She whimpers at me, I feel slight regret, but then remember her disobedience and growl at her. While I wasn't paying attention, she managed to escape from me and starts to run away. She has a major limp and will most likely bruise and have a few broken bones.

I follow her and plan to take her while she is injured, but my beta Rowan mindlinks me saying there is an in issue at the pack house and I need to sort it out. I growl at the inconvenience, I will come back for her later, she will most likely faint from her injuries and I will get her later.

I run off back to my pack, hoping to sort out the issue and then get back to my mate.
