Chapter Five.

Sasha’s POV:

We ran in our wolf form for a couple of hours. It was getting dark but the thought of Xavier made us keep running. We found a small lake and decided we would rest here for the night. As Mel and I leaned over to drink some water, we heard a twig snap. We both shot our head up, crouching down, snarling and baring our canines, ready to attack whoever it was. We were surrounded by 7 huge wolves. They were also crouched down, ready to attack. ‘Lina, did we enter someone’s territory?’ I asked my wolf. ‘Oh shoot, sorry we did. Sorry , I wasn't really paying attention. There is something making me jumpy and on edge’  she responded. ‘It is not xavier, is it?I asked. ‘No, it is something else’, she replied. Then she blocked me. The hell.

I was so distracted talking to my wolf that I didn't notice a wolf jump on me till it was too late but then Mel was quick to side tackle it. Then another one jumped on Mel’s back, taking a bite of her back. I bit that wolf’s leg and shook my head side to side, making that wolf whimper in pain. Mel got back up and bit another wolf while I lunged for one on my own. 

But I was tossed to a nearby tree before I made it to that wolf, from another wolf. This wolf was different. It was huge and radiating power. It didn’t matter though because I got up, ready to attack. I ran towards the wolf, it didn't even move, but it was too late to stop. He bites down on my neck. Here it is, finally the moon goddess is telling me to go be with my parents and pack. He bit down harder, making me stop squirming. I will never submit though, even as I feel myself losing consciousness. I heard a very loud growl… it was Mel.

Mel’s POV:

 I was biting down on a stupid wolf, then I turned to see who my next target would be, instead I saw my best friend's neck in some huge wolf’s mouth. The sight alone brought back memories of my mother. I growled furiously at the wolf, ready to attack, and then a smell stopped me dead in my tracks. It was like chocolate and hazelnut, pretty much nutella. It was coming from that son of a bitch, the one that had my best friend in his mouth. My wolf Cassie  screamed Mate, Mate! We found our mate Mel. The stupid wolf was jumping for joy, while I'm over here trying to kill that wolf. Mel or not, Sasha is my best friend, she has been there for me since we were in diapers.

There was a time in second grade, when a female wolf stole my crayons, and I was crying. Sasha asked what happened, she went up to the girl, probably threatened her and got my crayons back. And another time in eighth grade, this guy called me a bitch because I wouldn't go out with him, and Sasha punched him dead in the nose, breaking it in the process. That's my girl right there, so mate or not, im not letting him hurt my best friend.

I charged towards him with my canines bared out, ready to hurt him. But then, he threw Sasha at me causing the both of us to collide. Sasha was hurt , but she will heal… fast, because of thea

 Alpha blood in her. The guy that bit Sasha went behind a tree, came back out with a pair of shorts on, and oh boy was he sexy. Is it possible to be drooling in wolf form, because that was what was happening. 

‘Shift’ was all he said, umm no stupid. There are a bunch of wolves here and I am not shifting to let these perverts see my beautiful body. hahaha , sometimes I crack myself up. ‘ I said shift’, he says again. Which earned him a growl from me. While that was happening, Sasha was finally healing and waking up. About fucking time.

 Sasha’s POV:

‘I said SHIFT’ was all I heard followed by a growl as I came to consciousness. I swear Mel is a badass. I got up groggily and looked at him, walked to grab our duffel bag, went behind a tree to shift. Mel decided she was not ready to do that just yet.  Does she want to die? As I was walking past her, I gave her the ‘ the bitch you are crazy look’ but she seemed unfazed. I turned to the guy and said,  ‘look we are sorry we crossed into your territory. We are so sorry, we are harmless. Just two young girls, passing by. Please just let us pass through.’

‘Sorry, no can do. Rules are rules. You will need to be kept in the cell holding until our alpha comes back and gives you the clear.  He said. I mind linked Mel, ‘ we are fucked Mel. he is going to kill us and why the hell are you still in your wolf form?’. She mind linked me back,  ‘he won't do anything’. Where is this new found confidence coming from? I wondered as she walked behind the tree with the duffle bag. Came out , dressed in a shirt and sweats. The idiot guy was just staring at her. Uhmmm, am I missing something here?
