Chapter 1
*Amelia's POV*
How long has it been?
When will this stop? All of the harm...I'm sick of it all! I never asked for any of this! All I ever wanted was to be with my family and be free from all of this. I've never done anything wrong in all my 16 years of life.
This year I was supposed to hopefully find my mate. Werewolves and She wolves find their mates between the ages of 15-18. Normally it happens at either 15 or 16, but I was robbed of ever finding my mate due to a misunderstanding between my old pack and the alpha. If only he could see that I'm innocent...I never harmed the Luna. But who would listen to me besides my parents?
I have no idea at this point.
I remember running away from the Garden Pack before my parents came to see me sometime after my 16th birthday. I couldn't handle being locked up anymore. It was too much. So, I ran away, I felt bad for leaving my parents behind. But I had to do what I could to protect myself for extra pain.
But what I wasn't prepared for was the fact that I happened to have crossed into the territory of the Big Apple Pack. The biggest rivals of the Garden Pack, my former home.
Shortly after crossing into their territory, I was found by their Beta, Carson Spirit. A very strict and cold person. He immediately captured me, put silver cuffs on my weak wrists and took me to their pack house's dungeon and locked me in there. He waited for the Alpha, Kyle Stewart to come downstairs and deal with me.
In my already weak state. This was too much for my body to handle.
My body never got the healing and rest it needed. Because the pain happened all over again. I couldn't believe it. It happened again...but by a different Alpha and pack.
All because of the fact that I was a member of the Garden Pack and the fact that the heard about what I was accused of doing to Luna Regina.
How bad could my life possibly be after all that? How many months have it been since I was captured by my former pack? I've lost count due to the fact that my body is so weak and that I can't connect with my wolf side after all of this silver and wolfsbane they have injected into my system to make sure that I stayed still.
I want my regular life back. I want my parents, I want to find my mate, I want to be happy. That's all I've ever asked for in this world. What I also want is for Luna Regina to wake up and tell Alpha Mathew that I am innocent.
But sadly, I probably won't live long enough to see her wake up and put her mate in his place. With all of this pain and suffering I've been through; I don't think that my body can handle any more pain. Every time I'm harmed by this pack, I'm at the verge of passing out and if I do pass out, I'm out for 2 hours at most before they forcefully wake me up by stinging my body with silver and trying to wake up Samantha so that they can see the power of my wolf and tame it.
Will someone please save me from this hell that I'm in?
Can someone please get me out of here?
Is anyone around to save me?
Will I ever be saved?
I've started to give up hope on being saved. Currently I'm on the floor of the dungeon in the Big Apple's Pack house. My clothes are more worn out and ripped than ever before, my blonde hair was fill of dirt and was knotted, it looked like I haven't had a shower in months. My blue eyes where all tired and worn out from crying, my voice wasn't the same. It was all weak and I barely get any food or water. But when I do it's very little.
'Please,' I prayed in my mind, 'Someone save me,' Then I closed my eyes and passed out, my exhaustion was too much.
But I didn't care, no one was going to stop me from getting my much-needed sleep to try and regain my strength.
*Jackson's POV*
(On the outside of Big Apple Territory)
We journeyed for 10 days, and now we are coming upon the territory that belonged to Big Apple. Me and my team had to take the long way to get up here due to not wanting to get caught by Garden Pack members or be sensed by the members of Big Apple.
"Are we almost there Alpha?" One of our warriors asked. "Almost," I answered, then I sensed something that I knew we would run into.
Rouges.
"Everyone shift! We are heading into battle." I ordered, then I gave my wolf, Derek, control.
'Let's kick some butt buddy,' I said through my link with my wolf. 'You got it.' Answered Derek, my body shifted and Derek took control of my wolf form.
Yes, I knew that I could have taken care of this with my mind at the reigns but sometimes Derek needs to take over. This is one of those times, there were a group of 100 roes.
They were strong and were out for blood.
Derek was perfect for this job.
Finally, he took over.
*Derek's POV*
Felt good to be in control in this battle. We were on a very important mission and these Rouges aren't going to stop us from completing said mission.
We can't allow that.
Not when we are so close to reaching Big Apple territory. 'Listen up,' I said through the link to the rest of my team. 'Stop these Rouges at all costs. We can't allow anything get in the way of us saving Amelia Summers.' As I was giving my orders to the team, the Rouges came out of hiding, all in wolf form and ready to pounce.
I surveyed the area, two groups of 50. But where is their leader? I asked myself,
'Derek,' I heard Lucian's wolf, Christien say through the link. 'What?' I answered still looking around. 'Look between the two groups, there is a huge black wolf standing behind them.'
I looked where he told me the wolf would be and he was right. There is a huge black wolf there, his red eyes were piercing the area.
'Two can play at that game.' I thought, I was strong for a young Alpha. I'm a brown furred wolf, matching my brown hair as a human, and my eyes were a sharp ice blue to match my cerulean blue eyes as a human. My strength is stronger than your typical 17-year-old wolf.
'Split into two groups, Christien, Lucas (name of Brandon's wolf). Take 5 warriors with you and attack on of their groups of 50. I'll handle the leader.' I instructed, 'Yes Alpha,' Came the reply of my warriors. Then we all pounced and attacked the rouges.
They thought that they were smart and could out smart an alpha like me. Well, they thought wrong.
We were able to stop the rouges in the matter of minutes. Once they were taken care of, I gave Jackson back control.
*Jackson's POV*
Once I was back in control, I shifted back into a human along with the rest of my team. Once we were all humans again and dressed back in our clothes, we proceeded to advance on the Big Apple pack.
Amelia must be saved, no matter what. Which is why I was happy that Lucian brought my younger sister Wendy with us, Black hair like our mother, but hazel eyes like our grandmother. She was our healer, and she is only 13 but is strong for her age. We brought her just in case Amelia was more injured than we think.
As we advanced on the pack territory. I looked at everyone behind me. "Alright everyone, here is what's going to happen. Brandon, Wendy, and I are going to head into the pack house and find Amelia. We have her scent from her favorite sweater that Brandon was able to acquire from her parents. Lucian, take the warriors and buy us some time while we rescue Amelia." Lucian nodded and he took the warriors to distract the Big Apple warriors.
That was going to be just enough time for Brandon, Wendy and I to go in there and save Amelia.
As my team and I advanced into pack territory, I used the scent that was given off by Amelia's sweater to track where she was. "Her scent is weak, but I know where she is." I informed, "Alright Jackson, lead the way." Brandon said, and that's what I did. I used my nose to track Amelia's location, but who knew that the condition we would find her in would send me into an overprotective mode that I have never experienced before.
