Her training as she knew it, was gruesome and hard.

With another thud, she landed on her back from the force of the blow Michael had dealt.

Her lungs ached, her lips bled and her wolf was failing miserably at being  contained.

"Control is of utmost importance," Michael said arrogantly circling her as she lay there trying to stand back up.

"Again, " he ordered

With a loathing stare, she glared at the Archangel that went into position and waited for her attack.

At a distance, she could feel Maddox and Koda struggling as well. Anger and rage began to permeate the air as she went down the first time. If it weren't for Brody and Gaia holding him back, he would have challenged Michael....and sadly that would not have gone well.

She struck fast and caught him on his side. His pride and arrogance was so visible she could see plain as day that he did not like to be bested. His counter-attack was stronger and nearly floored her.

"Being here on this realm has made you weak, " he shook his head as he swung his arm.

She ducked quickly spinning and clipping his back.
He chuckled and flexed his shoulders.
The sting at his back told him she drew blood.

"Impressive little one, " he walked slowly around her looking for a vulnerable spot to take her down.

"Don't call me that, " she tilted her chin up.

"Why so touchy, sprite?" He teased.

Her jaw clenched. He hadn't called her that in so long. There were many names they called her.  Names of  endearment when she was younger. Because she was different.
Not like the rest.
And they knew...

And never said anything.

Her face went warm. Out of anger.

"You lost that privilege of calling me that again." She swiped furiously nearly catching him.

Her speed and agility had improved but she was nowhere near as stealthy as the rest of the wolves from the pack or like Raphael or Michael.

"With time you will improve, " Raphael reached down to caress her cheek.

The fatherly affection for as much as she wanted to admit it,  it warmed her deeply but she could not indulge in it. Her heart and memories would not let her. He was absent although due to no fault of his own, still, he said nothing.

While she struggled with her abilities and at times felt inadequate and different, he never said a word. For as long as she could remember he was always around along with Uriel and Gabriel, Michael and Raphael said nothing.

Nothing can convince her that there was no other way. Because there was. Just telling her the truth. Explaining to her, her origins would have helped so much.

A sharp crack followed by searing pain on her back brought her back to the present.

"Keep your head out of the clouds and focus, Hannah, " Michael yelled.

Rage began to build within her as Mia began to pace. She could feel her teeth extending and her gums beginning to itch as Michael taunted her more.

She could feel the buzz of Maddox's voice in her head that she intentionally blocked out.

She followed Michael with a gaze that would set anyone else on alert and ready to run. He focused on her and his eye twitched as her eyes slowly began to glow iridescent blue.

A deep rumble slowly erupted from her chest.

"Hannah, contain your wolf, " Gaia warned her. But she couldn't. Not when she felt so much anger.

He lunged for her. But to his surprise, she was quicker. He watched in awe as her features contorted with a feral growl as she caught him mid way to attack and wrapped her hands and extended claws around the archangels' neck and lifted him mid-air.

"Hannah, no!" Raphael approached her but was stopped by Maddox.

"It's not her, " he growled drawing back his lips and extending his own fangs.

And within seconds Michael was hurled in the air and slammed into a tree with such force that it cracked in half.

"Stand down, Mia, " Maddox ordered.

She shook her head, refusing to listen. Hannah, nowhere to be found.

Maddox's Alpha voice took over and gave the order one last time. His voice rumbled with power across the forest making every creature scurry and fly away.

Her challenging crouch made him livid.
"I am your Alpha, don't you dare defy me, " he growled.

"You are nothing to me, human, " the gorgeous hue of her eyes went from iridescent blue to Amethyst in seconds as she approached him.

"Hanna?"  He called to her in his head. But she did not respond. He shook his head furiously and faced her.

"I need to speak to my mate, " he furiously faced her.

She shook her head with a smirk. The sudden movement behind him had her on alert. Michael charged forward with haste and anger. Maddox was not fast enough as a ball of light formed in Hannahs hand and was thrown at the archangel.

All of them stood back in shock as Maddox dropped to the ground and rolled out of the way and watched in awe as the blast knocked the warrior to the ground. And he was out cold.

"Hannah! That is enough, " Raphael angrily stepped before her.

The archangel held her gaze. Hurt, pain and so much rage met his in a swimming hue of the deepest lavender.

He sadly tried reaching for her but she turned away. He watched his daughter take off in a run and morph into Mia, her wolf. Helpless he stood back.

Chaos erupted around him as Maddox stood and called out to her. His hand darted out to hold the Alpha back.
"Let her go, give her sometime, " his gaze turned red with sadness as the beginnings of tears formed in them.

Maddox struggled with the decision and dropped to his knees and watched as the white fur of her coat disappeared beyond the trees of the forest.

Gentle hands lay on Maddox's shoulder, calming his wolf that was trying to get free.
"She will come back, give her some time, " Gaia said gently.

Tunnel vision of the forest is all she could see as she aimlessly ran as fast as she could. Her paws pounded dirt and ate up foliage as she lunged in the air over a bush and kept going.

She did not mean to attack Michael in such a fashion but he goaded her. She was upset with all of them. She did not understand human emotion but she was finally getting a sense of what the wording "pissed" meant.

All of the years and time to know her past and understand who she really was.....stolen.
Now, in the wake of it all she has a destiny to fulfil and she does not know how to do it.

She continued running until something or someone stepped in her path and she slid to a halt.

The familiar scent known to Hannah brushed past her but Mia's back arched and her lips curled up baring sharp teeth to the intruder.

"Hannah?" The familiar voice filled with shock and worry crouched before the white wolf as it growled.

A trembling hand reached for her but pulled away as she snapped her jaws at it.
Her head lifted to look at.....
Danté?

Hannah struggled to get passed Mia.
"Don't hurt him" she warned her wolf forcing herself to take over and dominate the wolf.

In awe, the vampire watched the transformation of the wolf turn into the angel in a whispy fog of white smoke.

Frozen to the spot, he watched as she emerged beautiful and bare with not a stitch of clothing on and walked into his arms in a ball of tears.

"Danté, " she sniffled.

Finally, the adrenaline rush had drained from her body as he caught her in his arms and held her tight.
She trembled in his embrace as he held her protectively against him and shot a nervous glance around him.

He frowned with unease that she was alone and in tears. He lowered his lips to the top of her head and held her tight as she wept. Her emotions and scent of despair wafted his nose. She said nothing but just clung to him. And he could do nothing but hold on to her.

He had no clue what to do and the Alpha was no where in sight. What had happened?
Quickly he removed his coat and wrapped it around her.

He tilted her chin up and looked at her. The cavity in his chest constricted and he frowned again with the odd sensation.
"Hannah what happened, why are you out here alone?" He asked gently.

She shook her head and sobbed more burrying her face in his chest.
"Take me away from here Dante, please."

He let out a shaky breath with her request. Possesivly he held her tight and they both disappeared into thin air.
