The full moon was illuminating so beautifully it was breath taking once the clearing came into view, the field was filled with roses, lavender flowers, sun flowers, basically every flower that radiated beauty was found in this clearing though it was even more beautiful when the sun was out. It was my happy place seeing as my pack lived just within half a mile through the woods and i never smelled any other wolves scent around these parts of the woods so i claimed these clearing. My pack was The River Stone pack it has been for centuries now and i was going to run it some day, side by side with my mate and our pack members. Maybe a family of our own if we didn't come across rouges to fight off. Our lives would be great and filled with happiness and cheerful smiles with laughter echoing throughout the whole pack house, until i was proven horribly horribly wrong. Not everything was Suger coated for some people life was just cruelly unfair, I was 6yrs old when i lost everything.
'mama!! Daddy!! Come with me!' yelled a small child, reaching to grab hold of the adults hands
'mama! Daddy! Your to far away!' the child shouted again
Seeing the two persons getting farther and farther away from the child, the small wolf tries to run after them despite being held back by another adult. The small child shouted and screamed after seeing her mother get slashed and rippled into peaces whilst the father screamed in agonizing pain of losing his mate.
'Daddy!!! Mommy is-!' the child cried out
Being interrupted by two grown arms lifting her up and start running off into the woods, the last things the child saw were the father being ambushed and the person who was carrying her stumbled to the ground dropping the little girl as he muffled his screams of pain, the child was terrified by what she was watching.
The scenery changed and now showed the small child was now 12 years of age, confused she looked around seeing there were people walking along the side walks and cars passing by. When she was suddenly in front of of a building that resembled a house humans used, the difference was this one reeked of death and iron.
Walking inside she found nothing in out of the ordinary, except the living room being thrashed along with the kitchen, hall, the window of the back door was broken and still opened. The girl heard a thump upstairs and raced towards it to see if her guardian was alright.
She found noone else in any of the rooms and she didn't smell any humans or wolves, the light was off and it was pitch black inside yet she took a step forward only to jolt back in shock.
'stay back..you mustn't come in here...there's glass..you'll get hurt..' the guardian spoke
'L-Lumi..what happened? It smells like a lot of blood in here..are you hurt? Are you ok?' she began to panic as tears formed in her eyes
'i need you..to get out of here..run as far away as you possibly can..your passport is in a backpack you'll find out back in the tree line just a couple feet away.. there's money inside...should help you get started...' as Lumi gave instructions and coughed ever so often
The girl was in tears trembling as she knew what this meant, Lumi was the last of her pack and she knew she was losing him. She was going to be completely alone, and it was all the rouges fault for attacking years back. She walked towards her packs ex beta and kneeled down beside him.
'i-ill miss you..beta Lumi...thank you so much... For being there for me.. For being like a big brother..' she said through tears her voice was breaking
'it was an honor serving you..Alpha Lilith..Fayerin... Stay safe.. Eat well... Don't forget to train..' Lumi spoke weakly as he smiled faintly
She was able to see him nod his head before she hugged him once more, she felt his arms wrap around her as well to return the gesture. A few minutes passed when Lilith felt his arms lose their strength and go limp landing with a thump onto the wooden floor.
"You'll... You'll always be my big brother.."

Lilith's POV
I opening my eyes and sat up straight, gasping for air as my dark gray faded to orange hair stuck to parts of my face, neck and shoulders thanks to the amount of sweat i had done while sleeping. That horrid dream kept drowning me every night in my sleep..if it wasn't about my parents it was about my friends or my guardian...or my pack...
"Damn this nightmare...." I whispered aloud
Getting out of bed i noticed the sun was not out that indicated that it was around 3-4am in the morning, seeing as i was unable to go back to sleep i went to take a shower before heading downstairs to get me some breakfast which would be toast with strawberry jam, coffee, yogurt and a juice.
I wore black work out leggings and an orange sports bra, i brushed my mid back length hair up into a ponytail before putting my running shoes on and heading out the door with my phone wallet and keys in a small waist pack i got just three days ago, it looked like a mini backpack and not like those fanny packs they had back in the 80s-90s. Thank the gods i was born in the late 90s when they were going out of style.
After a 30 minute drive i had finally made it to the wooden area i loved to jog and train at, There was never humans around nor other wolves, i had this place all to myself for a long 80 plus miles. But something felt different as if something was wrong out of the ordinary.
I looked around and shrugged it off before going on my routine work out of the day, sure i was still Abit dark out but thanks to my wolf I'm able to see enough just in case.
After about an hour of working out i stopped to listen, hearing twigs snapping and faint breathing which caused me to hold my guard up and scan the area i stood in, listening to the sounds the flowed all around me.
"I know your here so why don't you just come out and face me like a man. Unless you're a girl.." i said sarcastically with a grin
"To be fair I'm not a girl...and i don't know i kind of like the view I have right now.." the unknown male voice spoke out
"Oh yeah? What are you a perverted serial killer? Or just a little scared bitch?" I mocked letting out a slight chuckle
A growl sounded from behind me causing my legs to move automatically to face the peron that was basically stalking me, what i thought I'd be met with was not a human being, but a huge wolf that was way taller then my person, the gods just had to make me 5'4 ft tall.
"Who's the scared bitch now shorty?" The unknown wolf transmitted his comment into my mind
I was now cought off guard after my ow realizing this werewolf was of high rank to be able to speak to none pack members via telekinesis, and if that's true i was royally screwed.
"So you're name calling now?" I bluntly spoke out
"i was simply going out on a walk when i got your scent." the wolf spoke with an amount of curiosity
The wolf looked down at me tilting it's massive head to the side before letting a loud chuckle rumble in his chest, this made me gain chills down my spin as i took a couple steps back in order to have some space between us both.
