Wolfbane (Reposting and Rewriting)

Chapter One

Jake Russell -----------------------------------}

(Xavier POV)

I stood on the edge of a road that led to a small town called Marburg in South Carolina.  I was wearing the only clothes I could find, a plain white tee, a pair of blue jeans, a pair of sneakers, and a blue jacket.  I had medium length blond hair and hazel eyes; I stood 5’10”.  I walked along the road for a couple of hours until it was got dark, by then I saw the town, when I say it was small, it was small.  There was only a few shops around the square; it took only several strides to walk into the square and took a deep breath, trying to sense any wolves, I smelt one wolf in a mechanic’s shop that was across from me and knew instantly he wasn’t in a pack; each pack has a smell and since it’s been three months since I was casted out, I lost all scent of my pack.  I took my time as I strode into the garage part.  I was at the entrance of the garage when I stopped.

“We’re closed” I heard someone say, I looked over to the car that was on the up on jacks.  There was a young man lying underneath it.  I knew he was the wolf I smelled because how else could he have heard me.  I stood where I was until he came out from underneath it.  He wore a Black tee and a pair of jeans; he had black hair and brown eyes.  When he saw me, he must have thought I was a human till he caught my scent he started to growl, testy much?  He spoke to me with anger.

“What do you want, wolf?”

“Well I just want to know if you know a place I could stay the night.” I said truthfully, I did need a place to stay so I can wash up.  When I said that his anger went down just a little, but he rolled out from under the car and stood up right, I saw that he was the same height as me.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I want to ask you if you like to join my pack.” That startled him, not knowing that I was an Alpha.  Well I haven’t really acted like one, more like an Omega of a pack.

“You don’t you smell like you have a pack.”

“I know I don’t, I’m forming a new one, because……I was ran out of my own” I said with a sigh and looking down.  I sensed him approaching me with caution.

“Oh” the man said, just staring at me “my name is Jake Russell, one of the few unpacked wolves in the area, well you can stay with me and my mate for a couple of days”

“My name is Xavier Howlett and thank you.” I raised my hand for him to shake, he grasped it firmly and shook it.  He told me he had to clean up before he could leave and waited for him to finish up what he had to do with the car.  Then he showed me the way to his house, it was a normal two story house with an attached garage and a balcony over the garage.  I sensed a human come running towards us and her heart was racing, so was Jake's.

So his mate is a human. I thought as the girl came up to Jake and planted a kiss on his lips.  My heart started to ache as my wolf howled, as I thought of Eden, my own mate.  I cleared my mind of her for now because I knew that she would fell the same pain as me.  I didn't want her get herself hurt because of me, whatever Peidro is having her do.  I was in deep thought that I didn't know that Jake was waving his hand in front of me.

"Xavier, are you okay?"

"I'm okay Jake, just tired."

"Oh okay, well this is Melody Jonson, my mate." He said holding her in his arms.  Melody had mid back brown hair and matching brown eye, she was about five inches shorter than Jake.  She had arm arms wrapped around his waist and her face against his shoulder, while his arm was around her waist.

"Nice to meet you Melody, I'm Xavier Howlett." I said with a weak smile.  She smiled back and surprisingly giving me a hug, that even surprised Jake.
