The clock alarm goes off,finding me with my eyes wide opened.

It reads 6AM and I'm cursing under my breathe.

Another sleepless night.

I make my way to the bathroom;peeing,brushing my teeth,fixing my hair in a messy bun and putting a little bit of mascara and lip balm.

I go to my wardrobe and wear a baggy dark colored dress and then get my work white shirt,blue jeans and my boots in a backpack,my feet bare.

I throw it on my shoulder and run out of my room and down the stairs.

I don't bother to walk in the kitchen and greet the ones that are awake but walk out of the house.

I go behind a tree,undressing myself of the dress and my undergarments and putting them in the bag.

I take a deep breathe and after two seconds I'm standing on my fours,my black fur shining in the daylight.

I take the bag in my mouth and start running towards the small city.

There is no other way to go there since I have no driving license and no car,and Eirik was on patrol this morning.

I run for like 15 minutes and change back in my human form and my work clothes at the edge of the forest.
I walk another 5 minutes until I see the words Joey's Happy Bar and a howling wolf next to it.

Yeah,Joey is a member of the pack and he and his wife run the place.
They have no kids so they need to hire staff,preferably young wolves since it's a place mostly for werewolves.

I push the wooden door and sigh at the sweet smell of coffee.

"Morning Osy," Joey's wife,Henna,greets me.

She's short and chubby,with long blonde hair and light blue eyes.

"I just put some coffee for me and you,since Joey and Garret won't come till afternoon for the night shift.We will alternate the waitress and bartender positions today." She says while handing me a big cup of hazelnut coffee.

"Morning Hen,"I say," Sure no problem." I add while sipping a bit of that piece of heaven inside a cup.

"Have you eaten breakfast?" She asks.

" No,didn't feel like talking and merging with lots of people this morning so I didn't enter the kitchen at the house at all,"I say truthfully.

"I see," She says," What about the phone,did you buy one?"

"Shit,I forgot about it.I even went to the mall yesterday with Eirik."

"You're too young to loose your mind Osy," She laughs," Not like my crazy Jo."

I laugh.

I am currently washing the expresso machine while Henna is mopping the floor,when deep voices,laughs and loud steps are heard out of bar,and a perfect scent conquers the air.

Then the door opens and men walk in.

Wolves to be precisely.

Primo pack wolves.

And unfortunately the two last ones are no other than Kai and the Alpha.

His eyes find mine but I turn my back and continue washing until Henna comes behind me and says,"Let me prepare their orders since you're new and the Alpha is here."

So it means that I have to take their order.

Great.

I clean my hands in my apron and go to the table they're sitting.

All their gazes are on me now and before I have a chance to speak I hear a couple of " Morning" , "Morning Osy", "Hey there babe", and finally a growl that makes them all lower their heads,except Kai.

"Morning boys," I finally manage to say," What can I get you?"

They all surprise me by ordering beers in the earliest hours of the day.

From their messy hair and tshirts I guess they were training.

Kai said two beers so I guess he ordered for the Alpha too,the alpha whose eyes not once raised to look at me.

I go to the bar and give Henna the right number of the beers.

She gets them together with some chicken fingers and fried potatoes in small plates.

I have to make the way two times but I don't.

Kai is standing right behind me.

" Hey," He says," You need help carring those?"

"Hey Beta," I say with a smile," Yeah,thanks."

He carries all of the plates with his hands and arms while I carry all of the beers to the table.

Now I can sense the Alpha's eyes on me.

Black meets Olive,again.

His eyes hold bags under them so I think he has the same problem as me with sleeping.

I feel the boys eyes on us,probably wondering about mine and Alpha's locked ones.

I see his jaw clench and unclench and not knowing what to do,I take my eyes off him.

I leave the beers quickly and walk,no,run to the bathroom.

I can't let him control me like that again,I can't.

He made it completely obvious that he doesn't want me as a mate,Hell,he doesn't want anyone as a mate.

I inhale and exhale loudly while supporting my weight with my arms stretched on the sink.

I'm too dizzy to feel another presence behind me,but I come to earth when my back is against the front of someone tall and big.

Hands hold my arms now and when I finally make out the scent,I throw myself to the left,my back to the wall.

" Kai?" I say in a surprised tone.

"Shhhh," He says and comes closer to me.
I don't know why but my knees give in and I fall down in a sitting position,Kai falling on his knees.
He looks at me with a kind of emotion I can't translate.

Then he talks.

"L-l-luna,"He stutters.

That's all it takes for my tears to run down like a river after all these times being blocked.

I continue crying and sobbing,not getting a hold of myself,so Kai huggs me and whispers.

"Shhh it's alright Luna,it's alright."

That name again,Luna,makes me stop my crying and all my sadness is replaced by anger.

"Get off me," I shout,"Don't you dare call me like that again Kai!"

"I am not your Luna,noor am I that fucker's mate.It is all his fault that I'm here.It is his fault that I'm suffering but keeping everything within me when I could be with my dad and my brother,Happy.It is Eirik's fault that rescued me.I should have died."

I end my speech and dash out of the bathroom door and front door,while Kai shouts my name.

I don't look back,not wanting to see Henna's expression and His.

I knew they heard me,they're wolves after all but I don't care anymore.

I find myself inside the dark green trees.

I strip quickly and let my wolf come forward with all her glory and then,I run as fast as I can.

I have been running for like half an hour and I really don't know where I am heading.

I hoped my instincts could tell if I have crossed Primo's boarders but I have no idea.

I concentrate on the sounds around and pick up a calming water movement.

I make my way to a kind of small flowing river and start drinking.

Just as I finish I hear a twig breaking right behind me.

I turn and take a fighting position,waiting for a possible threat.

In a seconds matter of time,three dark brown wolves come out of the bushes.

Their eyes hold amusement and lust after taking a look at my big female wolf.

I growl loudly,showing them I'm no fucking pray.

They share glances with each other and then their bones reshape until before me stand three human males.

"Come on sexy,why don't you show us your pretty face," One of them says and comes closer.

I growl and snap my teeth in his direction.

"Feisty," he says and jumps midair changing in his brown fur and throws himself at me.

I try fighting him off although he's bigger than me,and I know I would have killed the bastard if his friends didn't get a hold of my body.

One of them put a lot of pressure on one of my ribs,making it crack and me changing into my humanself.

They all laugh and start talking in a dirty way,commenting my nudity.

I couldn't hold back a scream when they let me fall to the ground.

My rib was broken for sure.

I can't open my eyes from the pain but I smell their arousals and sense them coming down.

Now I am scared and I begg the wolf in my mind to let her insticts flow and get us out of here untouched.

And guess what happens.

I can't control myself anymore as their hands come down my thighs so I let my pride and everything I thought burn,and scream as loud as can.

"ADRAENNN,"

The touching stops as a cold breeze blows  in all of our faces.

It is his territory.

His forest.

Death will come to anyone who dares question it.

"Adraen,ADRAEN PLEASE," I continue.

The men laugh,mimicking my voice and just as one of them extends his hand to touch my face,a roar is heard from all the directions possible.

It came in a patterned way,making them confused and not prepared.

But I know better and just as I start closing my eyes,pain long gone,I hear a whisper.

"Tara."
