I wake from a dreamless sleep. Glancing behind me, I see Leviathan, the alpha. Realization hit. I am in my first heat, and here I am, next to the alpha. Did something happen? Had he taken advantage of me? Did I allow it to happen? Fear and uncertainty fill me.
“Relax, Asena. Nothing happened. I would never do something with anyone that was as weak as you were last night. If they cannot defend themselves, they are not worth my time.” Leviathan says sleepily.
“I… sorry.” I say ashamed. “Wait, Asena? Not Raven? You’ve decided on a name?”
“It is fine, and yes, your name from now on will be Asena.” He says running his fingers over my naked body. A shiver runs down my spine, out of my control. “Now that is a reaction I can deal with.”
He continues to stroke my body softly. He then kisses my neck causing my face to burn with embarrassment. This feeling is not something I am used to. He nips my neck and I whimper. He moans with pleasure. His hand squeezes my breast causing another whimper. He seems to be enjoying himself, and I cannot fight him off. I do not even want him, but the reactions my body is giving his touch, says otherwise.
“Alpha, we have a breach. A bunch of young males. Oh, I am sorry to interrupt.” A male I have not seen before is at the door.
“It is fine, Jackson. Gather the rest of the pack and run them out. They smell her, that is why they are here. They are probably a bunch of young rogues looking to get lucky.” Leviathan states.
The young male named Jackson nods and runs out. Leviathan gets out of bed and gets dressed. I transform into wolf as a safeguard but get a glare from the alpha. I hide under the bed. He steps out fully dressed and soon Jayce replaces him as my guard dog. I roll my eyes and come out from under the bed.
“Hello, there, Asena. It’s my turn.” He transforms into his wolf which is rusty colored, and he approaches me. He smells the air and a low rumble of a growl escapes.
I assume a defensive position, but am surprised when he licks my cheek, and whimpers. Unsure of how to react I tilt my head to the side, and he licks me again and brushes his body against mine causing a shiver to flow through me. He seems to like that action because he does it again whimpering. My defenses fall slightly he circles me before nipping my ear. I shake my head trying to figure out what his intentions are, when an incredibly angry Kayden comes storming in and jumps at Jayce. The charcoal grey wolf lets out a deep low growl as he stands in between me and the now frightened Jayce.
I back away from the two betas and attempt to sneak away when Leviathan shows up and blocks my path. Feeling completely trapped now I lower myself laying on the floor of the bedroom. Jayce completely backs away from the alpha and Kayden, who now stands in between the alpha and me. I stand and walk towards the Leviathan, even as I shake in my approach, my ears back and tail between my legs. Kayden snaps at my paws and I jump back, stopping my approach.
Leviathan transforms into his human form. “Kayden, enough. What happens from here is up to me. The two of you have shown disrespect for my authority. All due to this female? We will have a meeting in an hour about your behaviors.”
Kayden then transforms into human. “I was merely protecting her from something that she is not ready for. She has no idea what Jayce was doing, nor what you had intended to do. I will not allow her to be taken advantage of when she is not ready for that kind of relation. She is special, we all know that, but that does not mean you need to stake claims so quickly to make her yours. She has a choice to. You may have saved her from death or being taken by her pack, but that still does not give you the right to do as you please with her.”
“Kayden, she has said she wouldn’t stop me, that her life is in my hands. What I choose to do with her is up to me. She said so herself.” The alpha states.
“It is because she has not known any other way. Give her time. Let her figure out her own body before you go and defile it. She does not even get the concept of teasing. Let her explore herself. Let her find her rank. She needs to know where she stands among the pack. If you just take her, you are no different than the alpha she ran from.” Kayden says sternly.
The alpha groans, “Fine. I will leave her be for now. One day she will beg for me, then there will be nothing you can do.” Leviathan turns and exits, followed by the rusty colored wolf, Jayce.
Kayden turns and looks at me, and smiles, “At least you have a little more time. I just hope the alpha understands my line of thinking.”
I transform into human. “Thank you. I appreciate you risking your neck, but why would you do that for a stranger?”
“That is something I do not even know. However, you should be safe until your next heat I think.” He says to me.
My body moves on its own, running to Kayden and hugging him. “I still appreciate it.” I say backing off at the embarrassment of realizing the nudity and his body’s closeness. I quickly turn away.
“Do not be embarrassed. Its natural. You should be used to the nudity when transforming back to human form.” He ensures.
“It’s um…” I point at his erection.
He looks down and chuckles, “That was your fault when you hugged me naked. I will take care of it later.”
“I… I am sorry… my body moved on its own. I do not know why.” I say cheeks reddened.
“It is probably due to your heat. Tell me something, though. Why do you not look at any of us? You avoid looking at all costs.” Kayden inquires.
“I have no rank yet; it would not be appropriate.” I explain.
“Enough about rank. Look at me. We are not as strict as your old pack. We have our rules of course, but you need to lighten up.” Kayden demands.
“It is not as easy as you say. I cannot just forget about the way I was raised. I do not know any different. It will take some time to get used to all this…new pack stuff. You will just have to bear with me on this. It is all new to me. The reactions my body is giving off when I am touched, the fact that there is another she-wolf that despises me even though I do not even know her, and the fact that now I get to fight for a rank. I do not even know all the rules here yet, nor do I know what will come of my future. He still must decide that. It has not been made official and I have not even met the rest of the pack. As of now, I am still but a rogue that was caught and given a chance. I do not want to ruin that chance. I may not know many things, but I have determination. I am determined to make a life worth living, one that will make whoever I end up with proud, no matter what rank I am. If it really exists out there, I will find it. I will not live an unhappy life with someone who doesn’t cherish what I have to offer, even if it is not much.” I spout out.
“Good girl. Determination will help you in the long run. It will also help you fight for the rank you want. Determination is a strong quality to have in a wolf pack. You would have made a fine Luna, had that been what you wanted.” Kayden says.
“How can you say that? You do not even know me that well. We just met yesterday for heaven’s sake. I would not make a good Luna. Alpha wolves… are just too powerful with their alpha tones and domineering attitudes. I know they do it to help the pack, but is it necessary all the time? Why can’t they act… normal? Instead of being high and mighty all the time.” I mumble.
“Asena, they need to be that way. If they ever let their guard down, they would put the entire pack in jeopardy. The lives of so many in the hands of one or two? Do you know how stressful that can be? They are the way they are for the protection of the pack. Not because they want to be. Leviathan is not always domineering or pushy. He is a great guy. Just give him a chance to prove it. You cannot be so quick to judge another wolf because of your bad experiences. You have got to get to know them.” Kayden stresses his points.
I sniffle, “You can leave. Shut the door on your way out.” I jump on the bed and cry. Then I hear a sigh fallowed by the door shutting. After crying for several minutes, I sit up in the bed and wipe my tears. I pull my legs to my chest and wrap my arms around them, resting my head on my knees. My obsidian hair falls around my arms and legs. I blow my bangs out of my face before sighing and flinging myself backwards on the bed.
Maybe Kayden had a point. Maybe I should give Leviathan a chance. How? Every time I am around him, I drop to the floor. He scares me. How can I get over that? He has been nothing but nice to me. Why does he hold such power? There must be something else about him… something secret. Who am I kidding… he will never allow me close enough to know, and not to mention I am not sure if I would even be able to talk to him about it… why does life have to be so complicated? What was up with Jayce earlier? What was he trying to do? Why was Kayden so upset with everyone? It is my body after all. If I do not feel like fighting back is the right thing to do, what business is that of his? He does not even like me. He made that quite clear.
I sigh and groan about not sure of how to take the conversation with Kayden. Tossing and turning and failing to gain comfort, I get back up and head to the bathroom. A bath will help, right? I run the bath water a little on the hot side of my normal, but I did not care. I added in a bath bomb and bubble bath, followed by some essential oils. They were different than the ones in my room, but they will work fine. Once the bath is full, I sink down fully almost completely covering myself with water. I soak for a couple hours before there was a knock on the door. Oh no… maybe I should have asked first.
“Uh, y-yes.” I stammer.
“You missed breakfast, but lunch is here if you would like to join us.” The strong voice of the alpha sounds through the door.
“O-okay Alpha. Just a minute.” I stumble the words.
I leap out of the tub and drain it. Then I wipe it down and dry myself. I find an oversized shirt sitting folded on the table. Unknowing how it got there, I put it on anyway. Then I walk out of the bathroom, hair still dripping. I see all three of the boys, and sigh, sitting down between Jayce and Leviathan. Not even paying attention to Kayden. His earlier comments still running through my brain as if on replay. This is my defensive mode. I do not like being hurt, and his words… I do not even know how to take them.
“Asena, you have not said anything. Is everything all right? Did the big bad Kayden say something he should not have?” Jayce mocks Kayden.
“Jayce, have you ever known me to be so cruel? Uh, do not answer that.” Kayden retorts.
“You two are like children. Bickering back and forth like siblings.” I say to them.
“There would be a reason for that we are all brothers.” Leviathan explains and my jaw drops.
“Way to spoil the fun.” Jayce scoffs.
“She would have found out sooner or later.” Kayden states.
“It is better she knows now, then end up sleeping with all three of us and then finding out.” The alpha says and I choke on my food.
Once I catch my breath, I say, “I never intended to sleep with any of you. Sexually or not.”
“You say that now, but I will bet you end up with one of us. We three saved your ass. It is a classic saving a damsel in distress act. It is rudimentary for any male wolf.” Leviathan explains.
I cross my arms and refuse to eat any more. I have lost my appetite. This is all some game to them. No wonder they do not have mates yet. I slouch in my chair. The boys look at me and I turn my chair to face away from them. I cannot believe I even thought for a second that any of them would be more than a dog… I roll my eyes. Males.
“Oh, come on, Asena. Lighten up. We may be brothers, but we each respect the other. Most of the time. We are just trying to increase our chances with you. You are an incredibly special wolf.” Jayce comments.
“Oh, come on! The only thing you guys want is sexual relations. You do not care about me as a person or a wolf. You just want me in bed. There is nothing special about me. You are just trying to sweet talk me into your bed! Well, I have had it! I am not some token prize to be won from a game of chase! I will be going back to my room tonight. I will fight if I have too, there will be no wolf or anyone able to get me in their bed.” I cross my arms and huff.
“Oh, someone got a little feisty with their heat. I like it.” Leviathan smirks.
“You think my feelings are just some joke, huh? Well, well, fuck you all!” I storm out of the alpha’s room and down the tower stairs, until I realize I do not know which floor I am on, so I sit down on the steps by an exit.
The door opens and yet another male wolf-boy comes in. I groan. Can I not escape these… these… men! I sigh and watch the boy with a curious expression on his face. He looks like he is fair skinned with blond hair. Unsure of his eyes though. He looks directly at me and jumps slightly.
“Who are you, and what are you doing here? I need to call the alpha.” The young man says.
“I am the alpha’s guest so to speak. He already knows I am here. I just left him and his betas in his quarters. They rather upset me. All three of them. I thought they would have been… different somehow but was wrong. There is no difference between them and any other male wolf on this damn planet.” I vent.
“Uh, well, um… I am Luka. I am an adult, but mid-rank. What is your rank if you are friends with the alpha?” the man asks me.
“Friends? Do not make me laugh. He just wants me in his bed. Just like his two damn betas and any other male… well unmated males…” I say, sighing.
“Um… I do not really pay that much attention, I guess. I believe if you do not get to know the person first, there is no point in having any relation with them. There has been many of us that have been hurt in the past. It sounds like you have too. Otherwise, I do not see why you would harbor so much hate towards guys.” Luka says to me.
“You said your name was Luka? The alpha has renamed me Asena. I have no idea why he would name me after the mother, but he did. I am currently a captured rogue that the Alpha assumed pity on. I have no idea what to do with my self anymore. He could have ended it all last night, but he did not. I do not really know much about relationships including friendship. I was not allowed to spend much time outside my pack house I was in. So, as you can imagine, I got rather lonely. The pack had my whole life set out for me. I was not even allowed to choose a mate. One was chosen for me. I left because of the person I was supposed to be mated to, was a complete tyrant.” I say softly.
He smiles at me, “I will be your friend, but you never answered me about your rank.”
I sigh, heavily, “I have no rank at this time. I have not earned my place among any pack. This is after all, my first heat.” I cross my arms over my knees.
“It is okay. I will not judge. That is not how I am. I am a gamma of this pack. One of the hunters. There are several gammas in this pack, but I am one of the better ones. Personality wise and skill wise. I cannot wait to see your ranking challenge. I hope I get to fight you. That would make our friendship better.” He says, calmly, before pulling into standing and kissing my hand.
I blush, “You seem, different.”
“Ah little lady, I am not like most male wolves. I have full control over my body, even when a female is in heat. I do not allow the wolf to take control over me.” He explains.
“Asena!” I hear footsteps thundering down the stairs, and Luka leaves before I can say bye. I glance up the stairs to await my suiter.
I sigh and wait for the thundering paws to reach me. It does not take long. The one that appears is none other than the one I least wanted to see, Kayden. I groan and cover my face with my hand. The last thing I need is more of his preaching about his brothers. I turn and sit on the bottom step again avoiding his strong gaze. Though I can still feal it. I cannot tell if he is mad or not.
“Come to take me back to that damn room?” I spat out.
“No, I came to apologize. Some of the things said were, rude. Here I was trying to get you to give them a chance, and they keep pushing your buttons in all the wrong ways. I am sorry about earlier too. I should not have gotten so frustrated. I know this is new to you and I also know it will be difficult to get past what you dealt with. I promise to be more, patient and less, pushy?” he sounds confused.
I giggle slightly, “I promise to try to be more in control of my emotions. They are everywhere right now. I am sorry too. I should not have run out on you guys or lunch. I was acting out of context for my usual self. I will try to do better.”
“You have a cute laugh. You should not apologize for your emotions. You have a right to feel whatever you feel. If a person or wolf, cannot accept you for who you are, even with your emotional outbursts, then they are not right for you.” Kayden steps in front of me and holds out his tan hand, and I take it. “Let us get you to your room. I will have Jayce bring your food so he can apologize too. He was ridiculous at lunch. He should know better than to act like that.”
For the first time, I look at him. He looks closely to the way his brother looks; tan skin, dark hair, and amber eyes, but his eyes were softer, not so harsh. I look away quickly as my cheeks begin to burn. He is not as tall as the alpha either. I stand and pull my hand away, but he grabs it again and pulls me up one flight of stairs before entering the floor. I see the room that was assigned to me and instantly calm down, feeling relief. He must have felt my relief because he loosened his grip.
“Um, thanks.” I say still blushing.
“You are seriously too cute for your own good. Also, you are way to kind. You need to gain a backbone if you want to survive in this pack. We fight like it’s our last. When you do your ranking challenges, you will be thrown about like a rag doll. They will fight until death or submission. You need to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Despite our rules, we still have those who try to take cheap shots, and cheat. You will be bruised and probably have broken bones. A true fighter never quits until they get what they want or die trying. You will most likely start either later today or possibly tomorrow. I hope you are well rested. You will need your stamina.” He sounds worried.
“Oh, Kayden. I know how to fight. It is a requirement of a family like the one I was born into. We learn from a young age. We practice daily. It is a part of our daily routine. I am not worried about a few scrapes and broken bones. I submitted to your alpha because I have no rank and I knew what he was. I was trying to show respect. Just know that I am no stranger to battle. I have a few advantages that most do not really know of.” I explain.
“Sounds like you have confidence as well. Another good quality to have in a pack.” Kayden says.
“Well, I guess you can have Jayce bring the food. I do not understand him… why is he so obsessed with women?” I ask disgusted.
“That is a story for him to tell you. I am sorry for this.” He pulls me close to him and kisses me. Shivers run through my body like lightning. “I had to at least see what your reaction would be.”
My hand goes to my lips. “Is this a joke to you? Tease me because I have no experience? Play around like my feelings have no meaning? That is exactly what it feels like with all three of you… men.”
“I said I was sorry for it. I had to know if there was anything. There was not. You are safe from me. You do not have what I need.” Kayden says coldly, before leaving.
I scream into a pillow so frustrated at the feelings I am getting. He did not have to be a JERK! I sigh after screaming one more time into the pillow. What is his problem with me anyway? He was so nice before. Why has he changed his attitude? Whatever did I do? This is so unfair. I head to the closet to find different clothes aside from the long shirt. Found a pair of shorts and a tank top. I put them on instead. Then I leave the closet and run straight into Jayce. I gasp as we crash into the floor, I end up on top, straddling him.
My eyes widen, “I am so sorry.”
He wraps his arms around me and turns me on my back, “If you wanted my attention, you needed only ask.”
I gasp, “That is not what I was going for! Let me up, please.”
“I think not. I like you on your back. We were interrupted earlier.” He nips my neck and caresses my breast through my shirt. “I will not go all the way, but I want to show you a good time. I want you to feel.”
“I can feel fine. Honestly, what I said earlier seems true still. You only want one thing. I do not think we are compatible. I do not think I fit with any of you three. You are only giving me this attention because I entered my first heat.” I state boldly.
“I wanted you the first time I saw you, so that last comment is inaccurate. At least with me. I cannot speak for Levi or Kade.” Jayce admits.
I huff, “I do not understand any of you. What about me is so damn special?” I exclaim.
“We do not know, Asena. I love that name. Asena. So, pretty, and unique, just like the wolf it belongs to.” Jayce strokes my side with his fingertips.
I shiver, “You can seriously stop now.”
“I do not think I will. I am not quite done yet. Not until I get a better reaction.” He whispers in my ear before nipping it.
“Please stop. I do not want to do anymore. I have been here less than 24 hours, and barely know any of you.” I beg.
“That is what makes it fun. When you do not know someone, that makes it easier to forget them if they are not what you are wanting.” Jayce simply states.
“So, annoying. I want you guys to back off me. At least for now. I have not even gotten settled in and I have you three after me.” I complain.
“So? Get over it.” Jayce says.
I groan and shove him off me and setting my foot on his chest when I stand. “I said to back off.”
He grabs my leg and throws me to the ground and sits on me. “I don’t want to.”
I shift into wolf tearing my clothes, and snap at his forearm, grazing the skin. He jumps off me and I twist my body so that I am standing. I lower my head and growl at him. Shifting into wolf himself, he also lowers his head and growls. It is a stand-off. Whoever backs down first, looses, and I was not about to give into him. I knew it would be a long one, because we are both stubborn and determined. Time passes by, with little movement. We stand staring at each other, growling, waiting for someone to either strike, or drop in submission. Neither was happening, not from me. I have had enough.
He paces not taking his eyes off me. I simply watch his body language. Watching to see if he will strike. He just paces, seeming to be unsure of what to do. He had never had a female react to him that way. Finally, after a long while, he lays down, but not in submission. Just as if he is done with the stand-off. I sit down not wanting to venture close to him.
The door bursts open, “Jayce, what is going on? She needs to be brought down for the start of her ranking process.” Leviathan demands.
“Of course. I will bring her right down. By the way, this girl has an attitude.” Jayce says, after transforming into human.
“She is also going through her first heat. That is a common thing with women.” Leviathan states.
“Well, I find her attitude a bit disrespectful. She acted as if she wanted to challenge me.” Jayce says.
“Sounds about right. You probably were pushing her too far. You tend to do that when you really want something.” the alpha sighs.
I roll my eyes and shift, “He’s a jerk. I told him to back off me and he kept pressing forward. So, I did what I could and shifted to protect myself.”
Leviathan smacks the back of Jayce’s head, “Are you an idiot or simply incompetent? I told you not to force yourself on her. Let her get through her first heat. Then we will figure out other stuff. Are you trying to piss me off?”
“I am sorry, alpha. It will not happen again. I will step back until after she is finished with her heat. However, after that, she is free game.” Jayce says fuming.
“I am not! I have a choice. If I refuse you, then you leave me alone. It is that simple. I will begin looking when I am ready for a relationship. Right now, it is too early for one. I barely know any of you and I have not gotten settled in, not to mention I have not finished my ranking yet… So, as far as I am concerned, no one will have me until I feel like it.” I almost scream.
“Well, you will do your climb today. You will finish it today. You will fight until you cannot anymore. The moment you submit, it is over. Your rank will be decided based on your fighting skill and abilities, as well as what level your opponent is. I suggest you shift back into your wolf and walk with Jayce down to the arena.” Leviathan explains.
I nod and shift. Then I fallow Jayce down some stairs and outside into an open area. We fallow a trail through a wooded area before reaching a crater in the ground. The place they call the arena, I am guessing. There are wolves circling around it, eager to watch the fights. I sigh and walk down to the center of the circle. The first few fights went by quick. Once they added in a second fighter it took a little longer but still rather quick. It went like this for five or six rounds. Then they had me fight two gammas. That took a lot out of me, but I managed to beat them. The next opponent is a large wolf, not as big as the betas, but still large. This fight took an hour for me to beat. Then out comes Jayce. I shake my head. I do not want to be at his rank and the only rank left after his, would be alpha rank or Luna rank. I certainly do not want that. Also, I am so tired and worn out. I sigh and submit. I did not want to fight him. I knew I would not have stood a chance against him. Not in my current state. Maybe if I were in tip top shape, but he has way more muscle compacity than I do. I am surprised I lasted this long.
“She submits. Her rank is delta. Treat her with respect. She fought well and has henceforth gained the proper rank within her skill range. She is Delta Asena. She will become one of our pack soon, so get used to her being around.” Leviathan speaks using his alpha tone.
The arena is filled with howls of excitement. Wolves come to me and greet me as is custom in a ranking challenge, once rank is placed. After being greeted, I begin walking back towards the pack house, but pause, remembering that I would most likely be moved to another area. I groan then sigh, accepting the thought.
“Excuse me, Alpha, am I to be switching rooms tonight?” I ask, shifting.
“No. Not until after your heat is over. Then we will switch you. There are far too many male deltas without mates. They are young as well, so they do not have the control. Unless you want to lose your virginity to a random wolf, I think its best you stay in the room you have.” Leviathan states.
“Yes sir. I will do as you ask, but please, do not try to get inside me anymore, at least until I know my own feelings on the matter, please.” I reinforce.
“I was not planning on it. I forget sometimes that you ladies have your own feelings. I am just used to them crawling to me, begging for me. I will do my best to respect you, as you have respected me.” Leviathan says to me.
“That is all I ask. I know I really should not ask it, because I owe you, my life. However, I have never dealt with this change before, so it might be a while before I am ready to give up my virginity. I just want you and your brothers to accept and respect me. I do not know what you see in me, though.” I contemplate.
“Jayce will take some time for him to respect you, and Kayden is already keeping his distance from you. He did not actually say why. We all have had our issues with women. Jayce has been hurt the most though. He will never tell you that, but just know it is hard for him to respect a female.” Leviathan explains.
“I see. If he has been hurt, then why does he keep pushing me to have relations with him?” I ask.
“That is just how he is. He wants you. There is something about you that all of us want. We are not sure what it is exactly, but we want you. That is the truth. I was hoping by pushing you, that you would reveal that special thing about you.” The alpha says sadly.
“I am sorry, but I do not think there is anything special about me. I think you are all delusional. I am nothing but a normal wolf that came from a high-class wolf pack. If anything, it is my bloodline. That is what I am thinking. Nothing else makes sense.” I state.
“I doubt it is your bloodline. We have a strong bloodline ourselves. We are descendants of the gods. That is why I am so… powerful, as you put it.” Leviathan explains.
“I see. That makes sense, I guess. That does not mean I will fall right into your arms or melt at your mere touch. I am not out for fame or fortune. I do not care about bloodlines. I care about the wolves, themselves. You know, who they are on the inside?” I mention.
“I am aware. I am not oblivious to others. It may not seem like I pay attention, but I do. It is part of being an alpha. You need to be always aware of your surroundings. All the time. Let us head to the dining hall for supper. Your ranking took all afternoon, after all.” He begins walking but pauses to wait for me.
I walk to him but remain behind him, as my rank is below his. “Sorry. I was unsure of how it would be.”
“You are swift, cunning, fast, tricky… almost like a fox in wolves clothing.” Leviathan states.
“I have always been quick on my feet. I learned at a young age, how to use my size to my advantage. I am not as big as you all, but I know how to win a fight. As you saw.” I beam with pride.
“You will make a fine delta. As soon as you become a part of the pack, you will be allowed two gammas.” The alpha says.
“Why two? Is it not usually one?” I ask confused.
“In this pack, since you are an unmated female, you will have two as a protection. They will be your… bodyguards in a way. The gammas are your betas.” He explains.
“I know what gammas are in comparison to delta. High-society family. Well educated, except for sexually. I know many things. The name Asena comes from Roman culture. She is the Mother of werewolves in a way. I mean she is a wolf that had kids with a human, so the babies would have to be half wolf half man. Just like a werewolf. In my old pack, there was a kind of prophecy, type thing. I do not believe it myself, but it basically states that the mother will be reborn as a werewolf. Kind of like either punishment or reward. I did not pay much attention to it.” I admit.
“Who knows, maybe that is why I get the feeling you are special, and how the name Asena, suits you so well. You are beautiful. Honestly.” He holds out his hand and I take it. He leads me back to the pack house dining hall. Maybe he is not as bad as I originally thought after all.
We eat supper and I get lead back to my room. I decide to soak in the tub for a couple hours before climbing out. I do not even bother to dress myself. Instead, I walk over to my bed and plop down, exhaustion overwhelming me. That ranking challenge was rough. I wonder if they will still make me have a babysitter… it is rather annoying. I understand they need to gain my trust, but I have not even tried to run. I have tried nothing. Done nothing but what they ask of me.
I take a deep breath, smelling the clean sheets. I smile shifting to wolf, laying on top of the sheets. I do not need them in wolf form. I lay, unable to sleep, despite my exhaustion. Hour after hour pass by. Then after about four hours, I fall asleep…

Second, you must not tell anyone.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVsz4HSnqc
If you do, you will put lives in danger.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kldFqImQ5

He might even be with the pack you are staying with.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMoSJrQpFN
Search for him and find him. You will know when it is the right time.
