Nadia Greene. A name well known within the werewolf community, as she is the daughter of the cruel and vicious Alpha or the North. He is known for the cruel punishments he gives to his pack members for the littlest of things, and the constant wars he brings upon innocent packs for land and power.
I am Nadia, and living life in the spotlight isn't as easy as it seems as I am not vicious and cruel like my father. I treat everyone as an equal because in the end we are all people, well.. werewolves.
Right now I am at my favourite place, sitting quietly and contemplating my life. My special place is a set of train tracks just outside the border of my pack, in a small clearing. This is my escape from life and I come here whenever I can because I am always held within the pack house cleaning or training for the next war. I don't like the way father runs the pack, I think it's wrong.
But as I sit here on the train tracks watching the sunset, I plan my escape. Ever since my father began to disown me. I immediately knew the wasn't ever going to be a life for me within his pack, so I started to save up bits of money here and there, and I've been doing that for years now.
The sun has completely set and it's time for me to head back to the place I once called home. It's a long way back to the pack house and my wolf has been nagging at me to be let out, so I shift into my wolf and run back to the pack house in minutes. But as I step inside the air feels different, it feels.. tense and filled with anger.
I hear yelling upstairs where father's office is, and I assume it's just another visiting Alpha attempting to make a treaty between the two packs. But we all know that these meetings end in a humiliating fight for the visiting Alpha as he comes out of the fight bruised and blood everywhere.
Instead of going to see if everything is okay, I head up to my room and start to pack and put my escape an into action immediately. But since fathers office is on the same floor as my room, I have to pass his office on my way through to my room, and one thing father doesn't like is when he is in meeting and I try and go to my room because he thinks I listen in on his meetings.
But I have find a way to get to my room without him knowing.. it's a spray that masks your sent so you can't be detected by a predator.
I spray the strange mixture of ingredients onto my body, and silently walk past fathers office while trying not to make the floorboards creek. And since luck is on my side today, the floor creeks forcing me to stop in my tracks for a second, then I come to my senses and sprint for my life to my safe haven.
Walking into the room, it looks different as if someone was looking through it earlier and they tried to put everything back in its place, and most of my belongings are where the were... but they still seem out of their place.
I go over to my draws and start to pack the duffel bag I left under my bed this morning with the essentials, socks, underwear, clothes I can run in, toiletries, cash and my card, with all my saved up money in it.
Once it's packed I put my hair up in a high ponytail, I open my window and carefully throw the duffel bag to the small ledge a couple of metres down from my window. I sit on the window seal and before I slide down to the ledge below me I reminisce on the nice memories I did have before my mother died protecting her pack during a rogue attack. I remember I was sitting on fathers shoulders with him running around and I am letting out tiny squeaks of laughter, then my mum came in and threw a cream pie in fathers face, he almost dropped me but he grabbed me before I hit the ground.
But that was all before mum died. I had locked myself in my room for a week before the beta of the pack forced me out of my room to eat and have a shower. Now I have regained my strength over the years she has passed, and now I can finally escape this hell hole.
I finally have enough courage in me to slide down to the ledge a couple metres down. I take a big breath before I jump down the rest of the way down with my bag full of the bare minimum.
Making my way to the tracks gives me this sudden boost of confidence that I've never had before. It felt... different and it makes me feel like I can do anything, so from now on I am never going to let someone bring me down again. Taking my last look at the tracks that brought peace to my world that was never there, I take a big breath, closing my eyes and heading off into the early morning sun, wondering what fate has installed for me.
