The Lonely Wolf

Brianna POV This vacation has been so amazing, just me and my thoughts all week. I don't ever want it to end. I mean hey don't get me wrong, of course I miss my family, especially my twin brother. It's hard to be away from him, and even though this isn't the first time we have been apart, it's going to be the longest. He had to go off to Alpha training for a year recently, and mom said I needed to get away. She wants me to relax since I couldn't go and was missing him so much. If i go home, of course, I can see my mom and dad, who I love, but without Brian there, I would rather just stay here forever. Im out for a walk, not really caring where I go, just walking for something to do. My mom wanted to send me to Paris or Hawaii, but I asked to go to Florida. I'm not sure why I just felt like I needed to be here. I've spent tons of time on the beach. It's been great, but it feels like something is missing. I come to a spot where I have to make a choice left or right, a fork in the road

Annalise POV I'm sitting on this couch that feels like heaven and hearing her on the phone in the kitchen. I'm not trying to listen, but I do hear words like my name a few times and some mentions of a pack. I smile to myself, thinking about how lucky I am that she found me. Then how warm it is in here and how I don't have to go dig in the trash for my next meal right this second. Then I hear her on the phone talking about pizza, and my mouth starts to water. I hear her ask for one of everything on their menu, every type of pizza, and every dessert and drink. I'm shocked and staring at the wall as she finishes. I was so lost in thought that I didn't even notice that she'd joined me on the couch again. She sighs and says, " Food maybe a little while it's being worked on, and I was wondering if maybe you'd like to take a shower. Before you feel upset or anything, it's not that you smell or anything, just I was thinking if I was homeless, I'd miss my shower and thought maybe you'd miss i

Brianna POV I just stare at her as she stops talking. I feel like I've been hit in the face, and I'm not sure what to say. That story It's just so hard to imagine a mother not wanting her kid. I'm assuming the mother never found out her dad was a werewolf, and he probably found his mate. I'd assume that's why he left, but of course, i can't be sure. However, as I think about it, he still wouldn't abandon a child. I wonder if he even knew about her, and I decided to tell her that he may not have and suggest we see if we can hunt him down sometime in the future. I realize I haven't spoken yet, and I open my mouth, but no words come out. I try again, and this time, I can speak. "I'm sorry I'm trying to imagine this but in our world that just isn't heard of parents protect there young I don't think I've ever heard of a wolf parent hurting there own child and if someone else does the parents go crazy and defend there children. This is all good to know. Im sure my dad will appreciate the

Annalise POV They talked about why a full-fledged rogue may be around my tent, but it all got so confusing. Especially when he kept mentioning things he shouldn't know. At one point, he growls and says, "His sent disappears in the water about halfway down the beach." I was so lost in the conversation that I just decided to ask what I was missing. Brianna looked at me and said, "Oh yea crap sorry you not having a pack or any wolf's In your family means you probably wouldn't understand linking. Pack members are able to talk to each other through mind links. It's like a phone call except instant, and you can feel their emotions while you speak. Basically, you think of a person in your pack, and you focus, and you can have a private conversation with them. Other things about linking our you can open a link to as many people at once as you want, making it very good for private convos in crowded rooms or tense situations. There is also the fact that you can still link with blood family ev

Annalise POV After Brianna teaches me her beauty routine, I take a long soak then brush my teeth, and head to bed. The next few days pass in an amazing blur. I learn make-up skills and how to do my hair in so many ways. We go to so many places like bowling and fishing, just to name a few. The meals stay as good and so many choices, it's all so good. Brainna is the most caring and amazing person I've ever meant. I owe her so much. We spent a full week together, but it went by in the blink of an eye. Then on Saturday they all decide we need a run to exercise our wolves. This will be my first time seeing Carla and Albert's Wolves. I'm excited to run with a group of wolves. I know it's a small one. I don't think I run in Wolf Form enough. I learned that Carla's wolf's name is Rain and Albert's is Shadow. We all get in wolf form, though I take the longest, and when I come out, everyone is staring at me. I look around and see that Albert has a giant black wolf. It's double my wolf's size,
