When you have status in a wolf pack then your life is set. You have privilege, you have pretty much everything you can ask for. I used to have that. Until my father, the head warrior, died protecting the Alpha and then all of a sudden we were nothing to the top pack leaders. That was 5 years ago now. I still wonder how my mother managed to live through the death of her mate. She’s the strongest woman I know. Especially after having our house taken off of us, our car, our entire life taken away. When I got to school, I was pretty soaked from the rain and I went inside and went straight to my locker. I could hear a bunch of kids coming down the hallway towards me, and I turned my head slightly to look at them. They were friends that I used to have, and friends that I always refused to have because they were spoiled assholes. One of the guys that was closest to me elbowed me and shoved me into the locker and the rest of his friends started laughing. “Dickhead.” I yelled. And they all stopped. But he slowly turned around to look at me. “What did you just say, trash?” He asked. “You heard me.” I said, turning to face him head on. “I outrank you bitch. You don’t walk away from me. Never forget that.” He yelled. “Fine.” I said, without changing my facial expression at all. So he relaxed a little and pulled back away from me to look at his friends. But then one of his friends yelled at him to look out and when he turned back around to look at me, I punched him straight in the nose.

Segala sesuatu di sekitar Flinz menjadi gelap, seperti berada dalam ruang tanpa batas. Ia tidak merasakan apapun-tidak sakit, tidak panas, bahkan tidak dingin. Rasanya seperti tubuhnya telah lenyap, namun pikirannya masih terjaga. "Apa ini? Apakah aku sudah mati? Tapi... kenapa aku masih bisa berpikir?" pikirnya. Dalam kehampaan itu, Flinz mencoba bergerak, tapi tidak ada yang terjadi. Tubuhnya tidak merespons, seperti mengambang di ketiadaan. Ia mencoba berteriak, namun suaranya tak keluar. Yang ada hanyalah sunyi. Waktu terasa berjalan lambat, atau mungkin berhenti sama sekali. Flinz tidak tahu berapa lama ia terjebak di dalam kehampaan ini. Rasa bingung mulai berubah menjadi cemas, tetapi tidak ada yang bisa ia lakukan selain menunggu.

The darkest corners of the world hold the secrets the leaders want you to forget. Deep inside a cabin covered with moss and shadows, those secrets are not yet forgotten. Under the moon, light glistens off of shining stones lining the porch and bundles of herbs drying from the rafters. Candlelight emanates from the interior and warmth surrounds the occupant. Inside this cabin was a forrest witch who was chanting a spell as she added herbs to a small caldron. Smoke rises and electricity fills the room. Her raven hair started to rise and the smoke turned glowing green. Leaves outside the cabin started swirling in the air raising around the cabin forming a circle. “None may find me where I reside, safe in the forrest this witch hides. Safe from the evil doers and safe from their men. None may ever find me again.” Cold. Like ice from an iceberg, his skin molded smoothly across his frame. The envelop in his hands was sealed by the Elder Lords sigil pressed into blood red wax. Slipping his long pale finger, breaking the seal, one word was inside. “Urgente.” His particular talents were once again needed.
