Broken

Introduction

Savannah made her way across the main pack grounds on High Island by herself, that was something she normally did a lot anymore. Her best friend Nikki who had been almost inseparable from her, for almost as long as they had known one another was usually busy now a days, with her secret mate somewhere, and while Savannah was happy for both her friends it did not help in the perpetual lonesomeness that she felt in her bones, and never more so than when they were off together. Most nights the three of them shared one bed for pack comfort. With Shapers sleeping together and tactile touch was not sexual, it was for family, and comfort. But lately Savannah did not feel that comfort, in fact lately she felt alone, even with her two best friends sleeping right beside her.

“What a bitch.” She heard the voice and stopped dead in place, Sometimes Savannah wanted so desperately to at the very least shave Michelle’s head. But most of the time she had to force herself to hear what was being said and just bear it.

“Michelle shut up, she can hear you.”

“I don't care, she is almost always by herself anymore, like she is better than the rest of us, just because her Brother is Alpha that doesn't make her anything. OW WTF!”

“You talk about my mount, mind your tongue you will.” Savannah laughed to herself at the scolding that Iza, sweet Iza was giving to the bitch. Savannah could not think of a better term for her honestly. Michelle had made a name for herself going after every single or almost single man on High Island, and if everyone in the world had an arch enemy, as Mike with his love of comic book super heroes would say, Michelle was most definitely Nikki's.

“You do know you do not have to take that. You're like Mike, you are as close to a pure bred as you can get, and your brother is the Adolphus. Where does that title come from anyway?” Nikki said falling into step along aside her, those beautiful wolves eyes that Nikki had always had as long as Savannah had known her bright and shining a white blue, Mike said they were like snow lit by the moon, and so completely different to Savannah's storm gray. But Nikki's stared out from her Human face an after effect of being in her wolf to long after she had shifted the first time, and had no one to teach her that staying shifted to long could cause some parts of you to get stuck if you were not careful, and for her it had been her eyes and she simply loved them.

“It is Latin, it means Conqueror The Majestic wolf. His whole title Silentium Adolphus, Means the Quiet Conqueror, or the The Nobel wolf. He chose it because of both the meanings, and she is right I am just his sister. I have to find my place in the pack just like anyone else.” Savvy found a seat on the picnic table and watched as Nikki sat down below her on of the benches. “I thought you and Mike were off somewhere?”

“We were. But Akala called him and the New tracker that came from New york with the refugees last year, I think his name is Xavier to his office. Mike thinks that Akala wants to send him up north. Akala wants to open a Satellite den on the Rabbit ears, and there have been reports that Galey's pack has been running across that area.” Savannah smiled softly, and she realized that Nikki was watching her a bit to closely.

“Say it Nikki, I can already hear your wheels turning, and it has been horrible since you and Mike.” She lowered voice into a stage whisper. “Got mated.” Then laughed as Nikki took on a glow and smiled.

“Savvy your alone to much, your alone more than even Mike was, and you have never told me why.”

Savannah sighed softly, and brought her hands up to her face. “Do you remember the guard that I had when I first came to the Island.”

Nikki closed her eyes and thought for a second. “You mean the cute one?” Savannah nodded solemnly.

“Yes he was to be my mate, and I loved him very much.”
