When school came around the next morning, my mother dropped me off at the front gate. As I saw the other pack gather in first. Xenia wore a leather jacket and black jeans and black boots. She put her hands in her pockets as she took out her chain that hangs from the side of her jeans and twirled around her wallet. Some of the boys smacked her head, she was like an inch smaller than her. She shoved them and laughed. I looked at our pack to see our distance and to ourselves. I stood there until one my friends grab my shoulders spinning me around.

It was the guy, his blonde hair and his blue eyes connected to mine.His jacket and jeans were navy blue and dark. "Tally, you've been staring off into space again." He said in the soft tone.

I was an entrance with his soft voice, I looked up to see him smile down at me touching my cheek. I smiled, "Hi," I spoke softly.

I looked over his shoulder to find Xenia holding onto her arms, a guy came in front of her in much worry. She just shook her head taking the helmet from him and got onto the bike that was from her garage the other day. She took off making the sound of burning tires."What are you looking at?" My friend asks looking back but there was nothing.

"Nothing just saw a flag run off in fear as they saw you." I lied.

We walked to the school having my hand around him. I kept looking back to find some of the other pack looking at their phones. Then when I pass they look up at me, in mere shock or surprised. Some were held back by their friends. I scooted closer to my friend as he wraps his hand around my shoulder. I looked up to see him looking around."What the hell is going on?"

I shrug my shoulder, as I was about to speak someone spoke up."Let her go." A guy said.

I looked to see a guy was walking towards us with proud strides.The other bowed their heads as they moved away. He had brown hair and hazel eyes, he wore a red flannel tied around his waist and a plain tee that said, 'Boss' and army pants that also had chains on both sides.His tan legs and his black leather boots that looked scratched. I looked up to see his had small beard forming. He looked down at us with so much pride. "What did I say?" He growled.

My friend pushes me behind him, "I couldn't hear, ass."

The guy laughed, "Well let me clear it up." He snapped his fingers saying something that sounded like Spanish. "Amigo, my friend. Just hand us the girl." Some guys came behind him in a threatening motion.

I looked at the guy but he just looked down at me, "Stop staring at her, you rapist."

The guy smiled, but it wasn't fun until my friend was pushed against the lockers in a flash. "What you say?"

I could see the guy tightening his grip around my friend. I was about to step in until I hear her, "Back away Armando!" We all looked to see Xenia striding down the hall having the pack bow their heads. The Armando dude did back away bowing to Xenia.

"Alpha." He said as he backed away.

Xenia walked pass me as I inhaled her rosemary snow scent. I saw she was carrying a bag around her shoulder. She grabs both of them by their shoulders then grabbing their necks. "Fighting in this building is banned. You should know that both of you." They were dragged away by her. We all stood there in shock but soon some of my pack tried to approach me but Xenia pack got there before they did. I was confused for the most part. Some even took out their weapons towards any invaders. I looked around confused to see some of Xeniapack members looking around. I don't know how long we stayed like that but it was enough to have Alpha Xenia come back in alpha mode.Even the other pack members bowed down by force, even the warriors.Her eyes were filled with anger and disgust.

"My pack and the North pack will leave each other alone. Northpack disperse before my pack will make you leave." Xenia stated strongly. Many of us felt her power, her anger. "Tally, come now." there she stands sternly demanded.

The pack moved in form so only I can walk between there standing angry Xenia. I watched as she straightens her shoulders in power, I bowed my head feeling the alpha power. I whimpered as she turned her back against me she walked where she came from. "Alpha Xenia," I stated.

"Don't speak," She said as walked.

Her shoulders tensed as she enters a room, a teacher lounge. Some of the teachers were there and the group that was after me. After I walked in she slammed the door making us all flinch. I coward as the guy Armando stepped back, "Alpha."

"Who started." It was blunt, straight to the question. Even the guy that I came in flinched at her tone.

"I did," Armando said stepping an inch forward.

"Okay, so why is Tally targeted by her own pack?" She questioned at my friend.

I stood frozen unsure what to do with the information. I saw her face looking at my friend and he flinches backward feeling overpowered. "I want to protect her! You are the one causing trouble!We are trying to protect her from the Fag Pack."

I got up looking at my friend who spoke like that to an Alpha."He dared to speak to me like that?" Xenia yelled stalking towards my friend grabbing him by the neck. She soon whispered something in his ear making him pale. She smiled wide, "Understood?"Tracing his shoulder than having a hold.

He nod his head rapidly, Xenia let go making him fall down on the floor with heavy breaths. I didn't run to my fellow pack but insteadI was shocked. I didn't know how to respond, as a shock as I was I looked around to see Xenia walking towards me. "I'm sorry," she just said as she looked around to see her former packs looking down. Stood behind her,

She took a deep breath and relaxed, I could feel her wolf. I never knew she was a wolf, I thought she was a human. I could see her eyes glow like the moon, it relaxed and smiled at all of us. "I will never accept an alpha female." My friend spat.

Just like that she stopped, I froze as well as her pack members."At least I don't go after my pack members," She spat. She took out her phone and called someone and we all stood behind her.

"I'm leaving the pack," I stated and I felt fainted there. I felt someone calls my name and arms around me. It felt warm, I felt protected. I felt at peace.

When I woke up I was on a bed, I saw a someone in a doctors outfit. "You poor girl," soft women said. Her long curly blonde hair all to her side. Her green hazel eyes showed kindness. It's that you find in a girl or a Luna. "Your awake Tally, Alpha Xenia told me to keep tabs on you." She said with a smile. I nod my head as I looked up to see the ceiling pure white. I looked around to see I'min a room. The room was like a guest room, simple white and bland. I looked around to see someone coming in the room. I saw Xenia leaning on the door. I saw she looked disappointment. It hurt me to see her like that. I looked back at the white bland ceiling.

"Nurse Sen, you can leave thank you." Xenia smiled nodding her heading out to the door. The nurse nods her head, packing up leaving on her command. She walked up to me sitting on the bed, "Now, small smile that stunt you put on isn't recommended. You were upset about what he was saying and that is okay, but you must go back. This is pack isn't for you yet." She said as she looked down at small smile. "This is me telling you as a friend and an alpha."

I looked up to see her serious about it, "What? I don't understand."

She looked down at me while she was shaking her head, "You are not ready for this pack. This pack isn't ready for you. As a friend talking to you." I nod my head as she called someone. "Hello? Yes, one of your pack members is here. I'll send her back. She's okay now." She said and hung up. I looked up to see Xenia patting my shoulder leaving. I felt the pain from her as she looked around, it was closing the door behind her gently. I sighed as I got up it was about a night.

I looked down to the nightstand next to me, it was a crescent moon necklace. I looked down at it to see the silver moon, shine. I heard someone come in to see Armando looking at me. "Sorry, I'll escort you to Chris, Xenia driver." I nod my head, getting the necklace around my neck, I smiled. "Oh, a Night Howler necklace." Armando noticed.

I looked up to him, "What do you mean?" I asked.

He smiled as he put his arm around he looking down at me, I didn't see a threatening face but more friendly, "You never heard of the Night Howlers?" He asked.

I shook my head leaning closer to know more, "No I don't."

He smiled, "Well where do I start?" He laughed, "Well there was a war on November 2, on Xenia birthday, at Russia. A surprise attack from the other packs...

It was a night of the full moon and everybody cheered, every girl and women talked to their Alpha daughter. Giving her presents and kisses. Until one of the guarding wolves came down injured telling and crying for help. The Alpha and Luna quickly gathers everyone to the mansion. But it was too late, the black wolves with silver paws attacked the Night Howlers. They sent their daughter away from Russia, she ran and ran. Crying holding a necklace from her mother. The symbol of the pack, and that day she will find blood. No matter if you are on her team, she would lead you into battle without a thought if someone ever tried to murder her. Now people say she died, or people say she still roams around the world killing the routes and pack members who ever come near.

Now, Tally, you must look at these stories and beware. This is real, but the little girl is mysterious." He said as he stopped at the front door. I was silence as I looked down, the symbol of theNight Howlers. The story is famous around the world. Russia felt ashamed of their decision. Today it is celebrated around the world with a cup of the red wine. My family will gather everyone and celebrate in silence. For the werewolves folk, it was like celebrating 9-11. Celebrating the death of the fallen wolves. I looked down as Armando did as well. "But that is what I heard. You should tell Xenia she knows the real story, she's Russian of course."He smiled.

I looked down to see the car parked. As I walked down the stairs, I saw the same driver on the first day, "My lady Tally, nice to have you around." He spoke tilting his head.

"Sorry, Armando was telling me the story of the Russian massacretheother," I said looking down sadly.

He smiled, "I personally think Xenia took it hard, she isRussian after all. Just imagine what she goes through, the otherRussian packs like this."
As I got into the car I sawXenia running out of the door. As I drove off she was running towardsus, then collapsing on her knees. She cried with tears until I looked down. I looked up to see Chris smiling looking back at me once in awhile.

It's been a couple days since I've seen Xenia, I haven't seen herat school or at her pack house. I looked to see people crying theirway out of the clinic. I've been working here since, they all beenreally nice to me even offer me to have appointments. I lead the girlout holding her by the shoulders, she cried but then stopped in hertracks looking up at me. I looked at her as her brown hair was tiedin a bun, she looked lost and hopeless. I nudge her shoulder with asmile, "Come on now, you'll be okay." I muster a smiled.

She looked up at me cringing at my words, I looked around tryingto figure something to say to the girl. She looked like a teenager, her eyes hazel with a little hint of blue and her eyes were darkerthan her eyeliner. She hasn't slept for a while, her skinny bonesalso show she doesn't eat much. I watched her as she hold her bonyarms. "It's your fault." She looked up at me with anger andhatred, "I hate you!" She yelled at me.

I let her shrinking back, "You do?" I asked in a whisper.

She breathed heavily, "I don't fucking get it why alpha Xenialet you in the South pack! You Northern!" She spat at me. I couldhear her growl at me.

"I'm sorry." I looked down at the tiles feeling dejected. Ilooked up to see with my eyes to find her crying gripping hersweater.

"Yeah fucking right! You...you...killed him!" She yelledclosing her eyes with tears.

I let her get angry at me, I didn't want to be the bad guy. It'sbad enough I've saw people with noose marks around their necks. Thatwas enough to traumatize me. I want to help but like she said, Idon't belong here. "I didn't kill anyone," I whispered.

She growled as she shift into her wolf, I could see her ribthrough her brown fur. She stalked over to me with a growl and somefoam forming around her mouth. I stepped back, staying still aspossible until I heard a low growl from behind me, as I looked to seesome of the doctors getting my attention. They looked at me to moveand I did slowly. The doctors were in brown and white fur, as theystalked over to the patient they convinced her to shift.

She did what she was told and slowly she fell on her knees naked, crying on the floor. I looked down to see the doctors holding ontoher, and Dr. Sandy put a hand on my shoulder. "Go to the back andget some clothes for her," She smiled down at me. I nod my head asher red streaks down her long hair. I nod my head as I went to theback to see some clothes, as I went back to see Xenia there havingher in her arms. I looked down as she shush her in a soft tone, likea mother.

"It's okay, it's okay." She cooed at the teen girl.

The teenager looked at me in disgust, "Alpha, she hurt us."She cried into her.

Xenia rubbed her shoulder in a calming matter as she looked at meapologetically, "I know, I know."

As I hand her over the clothes after being frozen for some while, Xenia dressed the teen as they walked back into the clinic. Soon aambulance came by and I can smell they are wolf as well. They wornpolice uniforms, two male. As they came in to ask for the girl. Xeniacame down holding onto her as she left in the ambulance. I looked atthe two officers as they were instructed to take them to the privatehospital. I tensed a bit as they walked back in. "What happen?" Iasked one of the doctors as I grab their shoulders.

They turn around with a small smile, "A panic attack, don'tworry." They responded.

I sighed, looking guilty as Xenia walked back in rubbing herneck, "Well shit." She said as she went up to the desk. "DoctorRaven can you please send the files please?" She asked polity.

The doctor nod her head as she gave her the file. "Alpha, whatabout Tally?" She points at me.

I just looked over at her to see her looking dead at me, but inher eyes were telling me she was sorry. She looks so sad, likesomething she regrets. I smiled at her, "I'm okay, I'm just fine."I tell the Dr. Raven. She looked down at me sadly and sighed.

She was about to speak until Alpha Xenia spoke up having herhands behind her back, "I can let her take a break," Dr. Ravenimplied.

I looked at Xenia for permission and she only sighed, claspingher hands in front of her. "Very well." Xenia said as she walkedout of the office. I let out a breath to smell the nice sweet smellof rosemary ice vanish slowly. I looked over at Cynthia and smiled. Igrew attached to the people in the office. They were so nice, even ifI was in their territory. I smelled something in the air, it wassour. The rest of the people in here found it odd too and also lookedout the window. A pack of motorcyclist came by with leather jacketsand patches. Their hogs boomed down the streets making the floorvibrate as they rode by. I looked to see some of the them had girlsbehind them yelling with smiles.

"What the?" I said in a whisper.

I heard something like a motorcycle zooming by making ascreeching noise, it came to a halt. I exit to see a girl with ablack helmet and clothing. Her black motorcycle faced them. I lookedcloser to the bike and noticed I saw it before.

"Ah look what we have here, its Zee." The main dude who wasmuscular and almost bald. The motorcyclist roared up their engines.

A robotic male voice came through, "Get out."

I looked to see Zee circling getting her engine started. I hearda laughs and it was from the girls, "Come one Zee, let us passthrough." The girls begged.

Zee stood up on their vehicle some of the motorcyclist smiled,"How about a deal?"

Zee tilt their head lowering themselves. "A deal?"

The main dude got out of their bike putting his hand up, "Yes, we want someone." He said. As he approach Zee, they moved forwardin a threaten matter. "We want a girl. I think her name is Tally, she works here but doesn't belong here." He said looking at theirbike.

"Not a chance." The motorcyclist growled.

"Suit yourself Zee. You can't protect everyone forever." Theguy said clicking his tongue as the other people rushed past Zee."You can't always win a race Zee, we are leaving your territorynow."

That was it, they left. I could still hear the booming of thehogs. I looked to see Zee leaning on the bike, they smelled likeXenia but a hint of lemon. It didn't fit with him but it smelled goodon him, I still like Xenia smell better than anyone else around here.I looked at them and smiled, as I tried to walk up to them, theyleft. I frowned. Cynthia put a hand on my shoulder. "That's Zee, he's really unknown around here. All we know he is part of the pack.He lives is Xenia but nobody has seen him. They all say he alwayspatrolling around. He's beta."

 Zee huh? Is he my mate? He didn't fazed like I was, when Xeniaappeared she looked behind her and smiled, "You like Zee huh? Manyof you guys do, you may never meet him though." Xenia smiled at me, "Zee is one of my closest friends, he didn't want to take the Alpharole instead he said I was the one who can lead the pack intovictory." She proudly said as she looked behind.
