Chapter Two

Nora's P.O.V.

I woke up to the sun streaming through the window, coating my bed in a bright light. I roll over to the otherside of the bed and pull the comforter over my head, blocking at the light and noise. I lay there for a couple more minutes before deciding to get out of bed. I go into my attached bathroom and take a quick shower. When I finish I go back into my walk-in closet.

I sift through the clothes looking for something comfortable to wear. Only seeing dresses on the hangers along with sweatshirts, the sweatpants on the shelf above, it was an easy decision on what I would wear. I pull out the sweat pants and tee shirt. Finding some undergarments, I slip them on and then the clothes. I run the towel through my hair to attempt to dry it. I toss the towel on my bed and make my way out the door.

Walking down the stairs, I could hear the voices much more clearly. The other person must be the Alpha's son James, or Jem. From what I remember when Will told me about him. I stroll into the kitchen to see Will facing me and Jem's back to me.

"Ah Nora, good morning." Will says when he finally spots me leaning against the doorway.

"Good morning." I walk farther into the kitchen to get a good look at Jem.

"Oh Nora this is James, but most people call him Jem. He's the soon to be Alpha and he is willing to help find your brother." That's when Jem turns to face me. My breath catches in my throat at the sight of him. He has black hair long enough to fall in his bright emerald green eyes. He seems to be the height of 6 '2 with a strong build. When I look back into his eyes I feel a strong pull towards him that confused me but also I knew what it meant. I didn't realise I would feel this right after I turned sixteen.

"Hello Mate." Jem recovers faster than me, a smile already on his face. Shock is still present on my face but I force myself to respond.

"Uh....hi?" I blush at my lack of words. While Jem here just gives me another smile.

"Well, I wasn't expecting this." I look over to Will to see him already looking at us with what seems to be amusement. "I guess now you will definitely have double protection." He chuckles after his statement.

"I guess you're right about that. No way in hell is my wolf or I would let you get hurt." Jem looks at me as he says that. Another blush travels to my cheeks. I know that most alphas are paired with other people with a stronger bloodline but I did not expect this so soon Jay is gonna be so mad that I found my mate before him and I haven't even shifted yet.

"So what's for breakfast?" I ask shyly, quite aware that Jem was looking very intently at me. Thankfully Will brought Jems attention to the food.

"Scrambled eggs, hash browns, and bacon." Will answered, flipping the bacon over. The waft of everything then hit me like a wave. My stomach grumbled in hunger, I absently rubbed my belly.

"So Jem, how old are you and when did you get here?" I sat down at the table and put my head in my hands and stared up at Jem who was situated next to Will.

"I got here right around six this morning. And I'm eighteen years old." That's when I looked at the clock on the wall to see it was just after ninel Man I slept a lot, I thought to myself. Realising I didn't give him an answer I just nodded my head as a plate of food was put in front of me.

"So I'm going to be Luna, and we still need to find my brother and annihilate the rogue's colony. Anything else we need to add to the growing list." I cock my head at the guys and take a bite of my eggs.

"Well first we are going to take you to more of a secure place, since like you said you are Luna now, so more people can protect you. Then Will, our warriors and I will start on a search for you brother for we might know who could've taken him." I sit back in the chair and take in his words. Something deep down told me I shouldn't be coped up in a house doing nothing. I needed to be out there helping to save Jay.

Something deep within me demands I be there when we get Jay, something dark and sinister pushing past my barriers deep within. I gasp at the sudden intense feeling of the darkness over power me. The pain rickashays through my skull. The power this darkness wields is not my wolf, this is something different, something dangerous.

"NORA!" I faintly heard my name being called, but all my focus was on what was playing through my mind.

'Dark, cold, and damp is all he feels. The walls were closed in tight like a cell. No windows and the door is made out of silver so thick to keep whatever is in the cell to stay in. One touch of the door would have a werewolf hissing in pain, silver being deadly to them. The cold seeps in through the bones of the boy who sits in the far corner. Darkness bubbles up through his skin pushing an unwanted change through him. Bones cracking and reforming under his skin. Fur sprouting through his skin. Everything seems to be going in slow motion. His jaw drops and lengthens matching the top, forming a muzzle of black.

The change lasts for about ten minutes but feels as though it lasted a year. Lying on the ground in exhaustion, the wolf feels himself drift off. In the darkness of the cell he can't see that his black fur has blue markings that swirl together and eyes of gold that slowly close when sleep comes.

Pain. Excruciating pain is all I feel. The cloud of darkness pushes my wolf out causing her to whimper at the sudden force. A scream bubbles up in my throat and slips out when my bones begin to break and reform at such a fast pace and I don't have time to catch my breath. The change finishes as fast as it came. Half sitting half lying on the ground trying to catch my breath. I could sense my wolf's anger of being pushed out to the surface when she wasn't ready. The second being inside me wanted to control me. I could feel it.

"Nora?" I then realize that I was in the kitchen with Jem and Will. I look up to them still panting for air. I stand up on all fours and shake out my fur. Looking down I see that my wolf is pure white with blue swirls that seem to be glowing. I face the guys once again and tilt my head. I know for a fact a normal alpha would not have these markings. Something is wrong. The dark power I felt earlier now seems to be consuming my entire being. I don't understand what is going on with me. I can feel my wolf pushing through the darkness to reach me. I can hear her faint voice.

I put my head to the ground trying to cover my ears with my paws. Pain shoots through my skull so powerful that I swear I blacked out just for a second. Soon everything subsides and I feel my body slowly changing back. I stayed curled into a ball on the floor focusing on my breathing and trying not to pass out.

"Hey Nora. Nora are you alright?" I hear Jem say to me. The worry was clear in his voice. I give a slight nod, my body still trembling after the quick shift and overwhelming of power. I really need to figure out what exactly happened.

"Can you tell us what exactly happened? We know that you shifted but the minute you did we both felt the air change as a new power swept through the room." Will tells me as Jem lays a blanket across my naked form. My clothes ripped to shreds are scattered over the floor.

"It was so..." I struggled to find a word that really fit. "Alarming." I finished at last. "Everything just came onto me so fast I couldn't even comprehend what was going on. All I got was a vision of some sort and a power so big it was literally crushing my being. I can't even wrap my head around this." I duck my head in between my knees and bring the blanket closer to my body.

"Wait, did you say you had a vision?" Will inquired.

"Yes." my voice comes out in a whisper. The images are still playing through my mind like I was there. For some reason the image feels familiar to me. Like I know who the person was who went through the same pain as me.

"Would you like to tell us what it was about." I was more than ready to tell them but something inside me to keep it to myself for now. I close my mouth and shake my head. Deciding to trust my gut.

"Alright. Why don't you get dressed and maybe go for a walk outside with Jem to calm your nerves." Will and Jem help me off the floor and steady me as my knees are still weak. Giving them a nod slowly made my way back upstairs to my room. I can't help but think that in the vision the boy locked away in a cell made out of silver. The boy who had the same markings as her but with black fur instead of white. The boy who looked too much like her brother.

I pause right outside my bedroom door. The realization of it hit me like a ton of bricks. That's my brother. My Jay. Determination pushes through my worry. I will get him. And I will do it with or without help of my mate and his pack. With this mindset I threw on some jeans and a sweater for it is still winter outside. I trotted down the stairs and went to the living room where I heard the voices of the Will and Jem. I rest my hip on the entryway as I watch the two guys. Now that I have shifted I can hear anything really. I turn my attention to them to see that they are both looking at me.

"Are you ready for a walk?" Jem asks me.

"Yeah, I think it would be good to get some fresh air in my brain. Maybe then I can figure out the jumbled mess that is supposed to be my thoughts." I let out a laugh to try and lighten the mood.

"Plus, I can get to know you better. Since you know. We just met and all I know is your name and birthday. And that you have a brother. Oh also that you are an alpha." We step out into the snow stricken land. I take a deep breath of the chill air. Feeling better when my tense muscles relax a bit. I feel sparks ignite on my waist. I look down to see that Jem has wrapped his arm around me. A small smile makes its way on my face. We keep walking till we are just on the edge of the forest. So the cabin is still in view.

"How much longer are we staying here?" In all honesty I've only been here for about three days I presume. But I'm kind of getting antsy. I wanna make progress with my brother. I want to figure out what is wrong with me. I want revenge for what happened to my family.

"In a couple of hours. Will is making arrangements right now. Not only does he need to inform us that we have a new Luna but also that we might have leads on Jason. Maybe you can help with that." I just nod my head.

"Do you think he'll be alright? It's just I have a feeling that if we don't hurry something bad will happen. I don't know. Sorry if I'm not making any sense."

"No it's fine. But yeah I get what you mean. We'll find him, don't worry, I promise you that. Now why don't we play some twenty questions. You know, to get to know each other better." We reach behind the house at this time. The snow on the tree branches distract me from my thoughts and helps me stay focused on the present, not the lingering sadness of the past.

"Sure! I'll go first. Do you have any siblings?" I finally asked him after thinking for some time.

"No, I'm an only child. What's your relationship with Jason?"

"Him and I are practically inseparable. Being twins and all kind of forced us to be our own best friends. I'm not complaining or anything. It's just he's all I have.. Even way before the attack. Jason was -is I mean- is the only one who can fully understand me in ways I don't even understand myself. The twin things are real. He can feel my pain and I can feel his. Whether it's physical or emotional." My cheeks heat up when I realize I rambled on for quite a while. I mutter a small sorry. He just shakes his head and laughs. The sound vibrates into my head. Now that was a sound I want to hear more often.

"It's fine. It shows that both you and Jason care for each other so much that you rely and yourselves." I blush at his words.

"Okay, I'll give you an easy one. What is your favorite color?" Jem puts his hand to his chin and rubs in a funny manner. A small giggle leaves my lips as I wait for his anwer.

"It'll have to be a deep violet color. Where it almost looks black but it's not. And when the. light hits it just right you can see the purple shine bright." He blushes and looks at me. "To girly?" I immediately shake my head and murmur a no. "What's your favorite color?"

"A mossy green, like that in between green color where it's dark but light at the same time." I say. By now we are back at the front of the cabin. Before either of us could get out another word we hear Will yelling out our names. Jem grabs at my hand and takes off towards the front door. I follow behind him wondering what could be going on.

"Will what's the matter?" Jem says the minute we step in front of Will.

"There's an emergency at the pack house. There are rogues surrounding the whole place. Alpha Wulf wants us back ASAP." Rogues? Are they the same who attacked my pack? And Alpha Wulf? That must be Jem's father. Huh, Wulf. What a coincidental name.

"Shit! Come on let's go." Jem takes my hand once again and drags me to the truck and opens the door to the backseat for me. Will takes the passenger seat with Jem in the drivers. The car starts and soon we take off towards the pack house that will soon by my home. I look out the window watching the scenery go by as Will and Jem talk. I tune in when I hear the word rogue.

"...the rogues might attack soon. We don't know when but they are after something and I'm guessing that something is Nora." I pause and turn my head to the front.

"Why would they be after me?" I curiously asked.

"They are probably after you because you might be the last living Alpha of the Witches Crest pack. Since we don't know if your brother is alive or not, we can assume they want you." I shiver at the thought of them coming to attack another pack just to get to me.

"Jason isn't dead. I would be able to feel it if he did die. But you might be right on the rogues wanting me. I hope they don't attack. I don't have it in me to see more people die." I whisper the last part to myself but I guess they heard me.

"Don't worry we are a very strong pack. Not saying yours wasn't strong, but we have more fighters than your pack did." I just nod and tune them out again before turning my head back to look at the trees passing by.

Some time passed and before I knew it we pulled up to the pack house. Which is way bigger than my old one. It looks about four stories high and branches out on the sides making a semi circle. The whole thing looks like a rich person's mansion. We pull up close to the massive front doors and get out. I immediately make my way to Jems' side to calm my nerves and anxiety.

When we reach the front door, Will is about to open it when it flings open on it's own. The person standing at the door is someone I thought I would never see again.
