Chapter 1
I leap into the tree landing gracefully on the thick branch. I keep crouched down, leaning towards the group below. My black tail flicks gently behind me. My hair flutters in the soft breeze. I smirk as I watch the hunter pull the gun on the three teen boys.
The boys smile dangerously at the hunter. Cute. They think he is the only one. Five more hunters step out of the shadows of the woods from behind them, effectively circling the boys. They all had guns similar to the first. The teens’ smiles dropped off their faces in an instant.
“Well, well, well. What do we have here,” the first hunter, Thomas, asks tauntingly. He flicks his sandy blonde hair out of his hazel brown eyes.
“Seems like we have some wolves on our hands,” Jake says with a smirk.
“Kill them, kill them,” Brick chanted. Well, Dorothy, you can talk without a brain. Brick is practically a building. A seven foot muscle filled building.
“You wouldn’t,” one guy growls; he is in front of the others. He has black hair that stops above his hazel eyes. Well, he’s not the alpha. That much I can tell.
“Oh but we would,” Thomas says in a sad taunting voice. He clicks the gun and points it directly at the first guy. My time to step in! I gracefully leap from the tree, easily deflecting the bullet into the trunk of a nearby tree. I wave at Thomas slowly.
“Hello boys,” I purr. My tail flicks and twitches behind me.
“Now; why am I not surprised? You’re never too far behind,” Thomas says shaking his head while chuckling.
“I never fail to surprise. You should know that Thomas,” I state.
“No, you never do Lila,” Jake says crossing his arms. I twitch my nose slightly.
“Thank you Jake. Now I don’t know about you, but can we just get this fight on with? I need to be somewhere in a little bit,” I mutter glancing at my wrist. Brick quickly aims his gun at me. I leap over Thomas with ease and land on Brick. I tackle him to the ground and hit a pressure point sending him to the ground. I then turn to take out Brian and Jordan. They fall to the ground with thuds as I easily and gracefully take them down.
I slowly turn to Jake before gracefully leaping into the air and landing on him, sending him into the ground.
I snatch his gun before bringing it down roughly onto the back of his head, knocking him out cold. I swiftly do a back flip and land on my feet facing Thomas. I give him another quick wave before lunging at him and tackling him to the ground like a cat. He falls with a thud before I slam his head down onto the ground. The boys are staring at me in a mix of shock and awe.
“So the names Emmet; Emmet Phase nice to meet you,” I say extending my small hand. They easily tower over my 5′1 height.
A soft breeze flows beside me as Ren jumps down next to me. She huffs out a breath of air, pushing her blonde hair out of her ice blue eyes.
“Aww I missed it,” she whines. Her white tail flicks around behind her while her ears tilt down. I smirk and nod. She is my sister and best friend.
“Serena Phase nice to meet you fine boys. So what you guys doing out here that required saving,” Ren asks as she finally notice the guys.
“What are you two,” the first guy asks; his voice barely above a whisper.
“Obviously I am a female. So is Ren here. You are males,” I say slowly as if I’m speaking to a child.
“You’re on our territory,” a guy behind him announces as he crosses his arms over his chest.
“Saving your asses,” I remind with a shrug.
“You know that we have to take you to our alpha considering you are trespassing,” the first guy states. I walk up to him swaying my hips putting my feline grace and charm into my strut.
“And what if I don’t want to go,” I whisper into his ear. He shivers slightly but stands his ground.
“Looks like we gotta go meet an alpha, Emmet,” Ren says with a smirk. I grin mischeviously and allow my feline ears and tail to retract back into my body. I smile innocently before putting my hands in front of me pretending to wait for handcuffs. I notice Ren copy my motions standing beside me.
“Take us away to our doom,” I announce dramatically.
“The house is pretty far away so we have to shift,” the first guy states. I shrug and Ren and I shift into our felines. We follow the guys as they shift into their wolves and run back to their pack house. Ren and I shift back as we approach the mansion. The benefit to feline shifters is that our clothes transform with us. The guys, however, have to get new clothes. We walk into the house between the guys, and I am instantly hit with an amazing smell. I simply ignore it though.
They lead us farther back into the house until we stop in front of a set of huge double doors. The smell is much stronger here. Smokey, my inner feline, is purring in excitement. The Alpha is in there; I can tell by the aura around the room.
“Alpha; we have found Rogues on our territory,” the first guy says as we enter the room.
“Kill them,” a deep voice grunts out, sending shivers instantly down my spine. His large form is hunched over his desk with his back is to us. I can tell he is tall and muscular from his position. He suddenly stiffens and stands up straight. He spins around so fast I barely have a chance to blink. He looks around until his eyes land on mine. Bright electric blue eyes clash with mine as warmth spreads through me. I gasp slightly before a smirk comes on to my face. He growls lowly his eyes never leaving mine.
