I have never had a quiet morning at my old pack. It was always so happy go lucky. But today was the very opposite. Feeling very out of place and unwanted. Showing me yet again how unfriendly this pack truly is. As everyone joined the breakfast table for a quick bite. The New faces were silent. Afraid to say something that could cause them to get into trouble. But you know they didn't want me here. And we all know I didn't belong in the most sacred house of the pack. The pack house. Where only the higher ranks were allowed to sleep and live in. They all continue to give me weird glances and stares. Whispering among themselves. Gossiping. Probably wondering why the enemy was allowed in their territory. It probably doesn't help that there were undoubtably rumors about me after my stunt with the oath as well as the infirmary. The Alpha should have left me with the rest of my old pack mates. Mate or not. I didn't belong with the enemies higher ups. I didn't belong in this pack house. My mate then takes a seat next to me. Leaving a few inches between us. Making me feel more self conscious then everyone else already did. Acting casual like nothing was wrong. Eating his several plates of food. Not saying a word. The Beta proceeds to follow and sits on the other side.

"Good morning!" he said breaking the ice.

"Good morning" The lady said from across the table.

"Good morning" The guy said from across the room. And this went on until everyone else in the rooms said their morning greetings. People finally starting to conversate with each other as if I was no longer in the room. But it didn't stop them from giving me glances now and again. I start to nibble on a piece of bacon. Not really feeling hungry. Even though I know I should. Since I haven't eaten a decent meal since before the invasion. I could feel the Alpha next to me giving me glance now and again. The room begins to feel more and more suffocating as the seconds pass by. As if the room is becoming smaller. Breath Sam. Breath its okay. Its just a room, . . . . filled with strangers. . . .filled with unwanted stares and glances and questioning gazes and gossip and- My thoughts going from zero to a hundred causing me to quickly get up. Leaving most of my food still on the plate. Not really wanting to spend another minute with the overwhelming, unwelcoming room. Exiting the dinning room into the living room. Making my way outside of the heated house, into the cool outdoors. Allowing my self to get fresh air.

"Where are you going Sammy Girl? You didn't finish your food?" The Beta said trying to catch up. Following my hide the moment I left my chair.

"Wasn't hungry. I was going to go warm up. Care to show me where the training grounds are?"

"Well aren't we excited!" He said with a huge grin. "Right this way." Walking to the training ground was about 5 minutes but felt like 10. Having to listen to the Beta ramble on with more jokes and random facts about the pack.

"Have you watched werewolves taking lunch, you will be amused, they literally wolf it down!" Cracking up at his own joke. "Especially with our food at the pack house. You might have not noticed it at breakfast but our cooks are absolutely amaaaaazing!"

"That's pretty cool Beta -". . . ." What's your last name?" I say trying to sound as least sarcastic as possible. Don't wanna be rude he is the Beta after all .Just a reaally annoying one.

"McCarty. I am Beta McCarty. But you can call me Lucas when its just us."

"McCarty?" That's the same last name as my fathers Beta. I take a good look at him with this new found information. Are they related? He said his name was Lucas. . . No! There is no way. It couldn't be!

"Yes. Bu-"

"Little Lu!" The Betas eyes just grew five times with the familiar name. His goofy grin quickly disappearing. His serious Beta face from day one is the only thing showing.

"I don't know what your talking about. I said. My name. Is Lucaaaas. Not Lu. And I'm certainly not little." Narrowing his eyes at me like I just found out the worst thing possible.

"Fine. Not so little LUUcas. Whatever you say." Giving him my biggest grin. Showing him that I don't buy whatever he is trying to do. I don't know why or how but I know that he is little Lu. The little boy who went missing years ago. He was one of the reason why my parents were so strict on my sister and I. They were afraid we would one day go missing to. To top it all off, the little boy was once my friend. The little boy who called me Sam-I-Am. The Beta then turns around and starts stretching. Pretending I wasn't there. And for once in his life he didn't have anything to say.

As I start to stretch. People start trickling in one by one. New faces as well as old. The Freedom Runners! The new faces going into their clicks and keeping a distance. While the old faces came to circle around me to start their stretches. Some giving me a slight hello but none of them giving me the excited, happy go lucky greeting from before. Looking at my pack members coming towards me. While I take a mental inventory of who is still alive and who might be dead.

"Sam!" I whip my head around at the very familiar voice. Memories of the past flooding into my mind. Of all the late nights, the laughs and every thing good.

Jack!" I start Running towards him like my life depended on it. Tears in my eyes. I jump on top of him wrapping my arms and legs around him. Giving him my biggest hug. Absorbing the warmth and the comfort he gives me.

"I missed you so much. . .I . . I thought you were dead. I can't believe your okay." Tears falling down my face and my nose starts to run. Causing me to sniffle. The most over whelming happiness filling my heart. I never thought I would see him again. My love, my finance.

"I missed you to Lo-" Suddenly a force ripped me out of Jacks arms. The harsh force reminding my ribs that a bruise was still present. Throwing Jack a few Yards away. His body sliding on the ground as if it was ice.
