"Come on Kota your fine, talk, um I mean move do something." Mike pleaded with me for like the 12th time. I didn't move, I could barely breathe, let alone move. I'm mean, I got kicked out of the pack after she took over, Rain had her filly, James found me, and now he's fighting for our lives. "Kota, would you like to go into James room?" I nodded my head the first movement I've done since I left James. "Oh my gosh your still alive! good!" He said relieved. He brought me to James's room and then gave me one of James's shirts because I was still naked from when I shifted but I didn't care. He slipped it on my head, then he laid me down on the bed and tucked me in, before turning on the TV. "Would you like me to send the girls in?" He asked I shook my head no. I wanted to be by myself.

It's been a week and James has not come back, I haven't left his room, I haven't eaten and the only one I let in is Mike but he won't tell me what's going on.

"Come on Mike, let us in she needs us." Liz pleaded for the 5th time today.

"No she only wants me and she needs James more than anything right now. Leave before I get upset." I decided to go back to bed.

Two more days past nothing has changed.

Now two weeks has past, Mike tries to get me to eat but I won't I haven't shifted, nor seen anyone but Mike. James's smell in his room is going away, and I haven't see Rain or Patch.

"Hey kota can I show you something?" Mike asked I nodded my head and got up, he walked me down the stairs into the kitchen before sitting me down in the counter. Then there was a knock at the door and Mike mumbled a "come in". Then James came in and stood in the doorway, I immediately got up and ran into his arms crying. I missed him, I thought he was dead.

"Hey, baby calm down. Your fine I'm right here. I'm sorry, I didn't want you to see me when I was hurt, but on the bright side you and I are officially Alpha's of this pack, don't worry my father and all his friend are rogues now, nothing can hurt you." I relaxed in his arms and for the first time in years I actually said something to a human.

"Thank you." I mumbled into his chest still crying. He stiffened.

"Did you just talk?" I nodded my head not wanting to do it again. He lifted me up and spun me around, tickling me until I was laughing so hard I almost peed myself. "I'm glad your back with me, shall we go to bed?" I nodded my head but we got interrupted by Liz and Candy running down the stairs and scaring me. I jumped and hid behind James who was like a giant compared to my weak body.

"Seriously you too, now look were back and level one! Ugh! Kota, baby your ok come on out there on the other side of the room." I slowly crept out from behind James still holding his shirt tight. James started to rub my back once I was in front of him. "Calm down. Your fine." He whispered, I gave a small wave to the girls before looking back up to James trying to show him I want to go up stairs. He must have gotten the hint because he picked me up and I started to giggle.

Once we got up there he set me down on his bed then went a grabbed a bunch of paper then a pen and put them in front of me.

"Is it ok if we play 20 questions?" I nodded and the game began.

"What's your middle name?"

Rain

"Wow, Dekota Rain...."

Mathew

"Pretty. Um... how come you don't talk?"

That one hit me kinda hard.

It's a long story that I don't really want to tell anyone yet... I'm sorry.

"Your fine I understand. Why do you always run to the barn?"

Follow me, I'll show you why.

You didn't have to ask him twice he was up and following me. We shifted and ran all the way there, (I beat him) he says he beat me, once there I shifted and pushed the hole so it was big enough then he followed me in. Then I decide to do something that will probably blow his mind.

"Rain, Patch, come on girls!" I turned and looked at James and he was staring at me with love in his eyes and I knew he would protect me from here on out.
