Chapter 3: Everything changes

James

Katie is the mate of Alpha Troy, the leader of the North Moon pack. She doesn’t seem to know anything about our kind. She doesn’t know her mate; how can this be? If she were a werewolf, she would have shifted by now. Could it be? I take a deep breath, and my eyes light up at her scent. She is a human and a virgin. I walked towards her with a grin on my face. This is going to be fun.

Kate

He placed a hand on my cheek and slowly lowered it down to my collarbone. My whole body tenses with disgust at the sensation. He has a different look in his eyes, more evil. He moves his hand down even lower over my chest, and I try to move away, but the ropes are leaving no room for movement.

“What are you doing?” I say sharply.

His hand grabs my face with force as he leans in closer. “The look on your mate's face when he sees that I took his untouched, innocent mate will be even more rewarding.”

He rips my shirt open with a quick upward movement, exposing my bra. When his hand moves along my breasts, I scream. He punches me in the face, making my nose bleed. Then covered my mouth with tape. He continues to explore my chest with his right hand as his left moves up to my head. He leans my head to the side and licks my neck. His touch makes me sick. I can’t move, I can't get away. Tears stream down my face as I realize my situation. Then he stops, his head perks up as if he is listening for something. I focus my hearing trying to figure out what is going on. I can hear the faint sound of fighting and growling, and the sound of bones breaking.

“I’ll be back for you,” he glances at me, then leaves the room, locking the door.

I use this time to try to get free. I start wiggling my hands, but the ropes won’t give. After a few minutes, the door bursts open and there stands a stranger. He is tall, his arms covered in tattoos. His short brown hair is slicked back, and his icy blue eyes shine in the low light. He approaches me quickly, taking off the tape and cutting the rope. Who is this man? Was he one of Alpha James' men coming to take me away? This is it, I have to fight, I have to try to get away. I feel the ropes drop from my hands, and I dart for the door, running as fast as I can. I make it outside, then feel a hand on my wrist. It's the brown haired guy.

“What are you doing?” he asks, “Are you trying to get yourself killed?”

“Get your hands off me,” I try to pull my hand away from him with no luck.

“My name is Troy. I’m trying to help you, just follow me.” He starts to walk down the hall.

“Why should I trust you? I don’t even know you?” I take my foot and trip him, making him fall and letting go of my hand.

Wasting no time, I start running in the other direction. How do I get out of this place? I see blood-stained walls everywhere. I turn right, then left, and keep running. After a moment, I stop to take in my surroundings, and I see sunlight in the distance, finally a way out. I start sprinting, but just as I near the exit, a brown wolf appears that stops me in my tracks. The wolf starts stalking towards me, licking its lips. Frozen in fear, I can’t move. The wolf lunges, knocking me into the wall. I grab my head in pain as blood drips down my face. Suddenly, I hear a voice behind me yell.

“Don’t touch her!” a male voice commands.

I look back to see Troy running at us. The sound of bones breaking and growling, then his eyes change to a deep yellow. My vision is blurry, but I see a very large black wolf appear in his place. I fell to the floor in shock. That’s not possible, he just turned into a wolf? No, I’m dreaming this is all a dream, or I’m going crazy. I watch as the two wolves fight; they are biting and tearing at each other. The brown one clamps its teeth down on the leg of the larger black wolf, making it yelp. The black wolf swings its head around, knocking the brown one into the wall.

The brown one swipes its paw and scratches the black one in the face. With a low snarl, the black wolf jumps on top of the brown wolf and, with a raised paw, slices its throat. The wolf lies on the ground with no movement, blood pouring from its neck. The black wolf turns and walks towards me, and my vision starts to go black as my head spins. I shake my head and try to steady my sight. Troy is standing in front of me once more. He kneels to me with a look of concern. I can’t keep my eyes open anymore as everything goes black.
