Eight Years later

Sigmund's POV

Eighteen years. That's how long it's been since I left my home base to build up an army to take them out. I have an army of werewolves. We took out five very bad werewolf packs, and joined forces with a few other great packs. 

It seems like all of them look to me as a leader, even though each pack has their own leaders. I know I was born to be an Alpha, I just can't help but wonder if I am really the Alpha. I don't know for sure what will happen in the next week, but I do know that I have built up enough of a force to stop the abuse at my old pack, The Dark Banes. 

I also have a feeling that I need to do it this month's full moon. Everyone is on board with my plan. I just need to make it happen. The full moon is in three nights. We have been training non stop for a few days now. I think it's time to take a break, have a feast and get out there on the town. 

I raise my hand and everyone, all three hundred and fifty-eight shut up and look at me. "We need to take a break. We have to be well rested and strong for this fight. There are many men who do nothing but train and beat their women there. I need to save them. We need to save them." The crowd howls, half of them in their wolf forms half of them in their human form. "For the next two days we will separate and party. We will let all the anxiety out. Then on the third day we will gather around the old camp and stalk them." More cheers sound out around me, some in the form of shouts, some in howls. "Now let's go have a good time!"

Everyone shifts back to their human selves and gets dressed. We have done all the work, now we need to have the fun, before waging the war.

***

After a full day of fun, my pack of misfits sits outside at our howling spot, looking around at each other. We just spent the last day goofing off and getting everything out of our systems. I spent the last eighteen years waiting to have enough power to bring the fight to them. Now, having my wolf and myself trained up, I am certain that together with our crew of over three hundred werewolves, we can take back the pack.

We will start a new pack and call ourselves The Sundown Pack.

Sophia's POV

Today is my eighteenth birthday. It's also the full moon. I can't believe this is happening. It's so rare for the eighteenth birthday to happen on the same day the full moon, especially for someone who was also born on the full moon. I even get called to the Alpha's office.

I'm not a fan of it, but maybe he just wants to give me some recognition for my awesome birthday event. I get up and get dressed in the best of clothes. This Alpha is a sexist pig and he will not be good to me if I don't look like I made an effort in coming to his office today.

My mom is sitting at the table with breakfast for the two of us. "Where are they?"

I look around as my mom answers, knowing exactly who they are, "They are out on a pack hunt. There was some suspected activity on our outter borders."

I shrug. "Okay, so I get to meet with the Alpha today. Do you have any idea why he'd want to meet me, mom?"

"I hope it's just about your birthday and how special the day is." She looks down at her food, adding, "If it's anything else, girl, you need to run."

I lift her chin and look into her eyes. "You don't think he'd..." She just nods and starts eating her food. "Just be careful. You have managed to evade them so far. Don't let him get to you now. He's a full on pig and not loyal to a single thing."

I can hear the disdane in her voice. If any of the pack men heard what she was saying... I don't even want to finish the thought. "Okay, momma, I'll be careful."

She nods as we both eat in silence.

We finish our meal and I look at my mom, her face is filled with worry as she hugs me. "I will be safe, momma. I promise to look out for you and myself in everything I do. But I won't let him..."

She shakes her head, looking stern. "No, if you need to get out, you don't worry about me. You get out."

I nod and back away from her. "Okay, but only if you promise to let me help you out too."

She shakes her head from side to side. "I have to stay for Keaton. He is still just a boy and needs a good influence. I can't be that if I'm not here, and his dad would kill me before letting me leave with his only son."

Knowing she is right, I drop it all. I take myself out the door and head straight to the Alpha's office. When I get there, he is lounging on a couch, his legs up and his clothes disheveled. I bow, as all females are trained to do from an early age when in the presence of men.

He chuckles as he gets up and says, "There is a great eighteen year old. I can't believe that you are already eighteen, Sophia." I can feel him walking behind me, but I haven't been told I can stand yet, so I wait. "I think you have aged out very well, in fact, I may just want to teach you a few things."

This makes me stand straight up, hitting his nose with the back of my head. Apparently he was sniffing my hair. How fucking gross. "I don't want to learn those things from you, Alpha."

This makes him growl as he stands right behind me, his nose bleeding on me. "If you want to be a part of this pack, Sophia, you have to learn anything I want to teach you, as soon as you are of age, that is." He leans in close to my ear as his hands graze the sides of my arms, his fingers touching the side of my breasts. "You do want to be a part of this pack, don't you?"

I swallow hard. My mom was right. I won't be able to stand up to this guy, not the way this is going, not without leaving the pack for good. I swallow hard as I step away from him and his gross grabby hands. "I don't want that from you. You are older than my dad even. I am not okay with this and if it's what it takes to be a part of the pack, I will leave right now."

The smirk he gives me as he stands up, his cock tenting his pants as he does, makes me realize that I may not make it out of this alive. I would rather die, than submit to being a part of this pack, though. Not if it means I let men do as they please... NO!

"Well then, little girl, you better get packing. I won't let you stay if you can't give me what I want."

I stand there, just for a moment, wondering if I have made a mistake... then I realize that I have not, that I need to leave in order to keep me safe. Mom will try to keep Kea safe. I need to get out now. I have an overwhelming urge to run.

Just as I start to run, the Alpha grabs my arm. "Last chance, little girl."

I stomp on his foot and run out the door. Fuck this and the whole pack. I can't live like this anymore. The fear the pack has instilled in me from day one has me fully aware that I can't win. I never could, so I just run. I don't even stop at home to pack.

Just as I hit the edge of the territory, I see Kea, he looks sad as I bolt out of the woods. He will understand one day... I hope.
