CHAPTER ONE

alexia's pack house above ... only more living trees

dedicated to SimplyUnloved for adding my story too how many library? i think it was three or four?

"don't change yourself because your afraid of what people think. change yourself because you want to be better"

i looked at the pile in front of us

'i dunno blue' i said with a frown looking at the black lumps

'common lex your dad rocked it with the red eyes and the fangs and the coat besides no ones going to take us seriously with a coat like this'

 i looked down my back the mixtures of greens and blues and reds had a majority of the rouges laughing at us nipping out heels as they chased us away while others pitily threw me a meal but that was six months ago

but we were still a lone wolf

no pack to call our own

and an empty pack house with a leaky roof

by now we knew we were doing something wrong...

but the difference between now and then was that we had grown at least a good foot and a half but that was all i was now slightly bigger then your average wolf standing on the boundry of warrior and beta size

i looked back to the pile 'but it'll just wash off came the rain season'

'and we'll just replace it' she told me 'one day we can change the coal for some black hair dye but for now it's going to have to do'

'but how are we going to put it on?'

i shifted back wrapping the blanket around my shoulders to sheild myself from prying eyes don't get me wrong i've swiped many clothes but it just feels right to not wear anything

'we crush it to mush with your human hands' she shouted and i laughed grabbing a nearby rock i began my busy work of crushing coal

half an hour later

blue shook he black coat the dust flying every where leaving her a stormy charcoal black we looked at out reflection in one of the grimy mirrors

'i think we look good' blue said

and all i could do was stare in amazement i shifted back then shifted again amazed at how well is stayed on

'lex?'

"yeah" i mummbled "i think we look good for a runt" she laughed at that

'what do you think we need to do next?' she asked

"i don't know" i said looking around my new 'pack house'

most of the windows were smashed in and the floor was slightly rotten but in modderetly good condition

the house had been abandoned for quite some time ad large trees had strated creeping closer to the door leaving it with only a few scarce meters of lawn and backyard

and with the addition of a leaky roof it only left a few rooms in good enough living condition leaving us to spend most nights on a mouldy matress

but hey every packs gotta start from somewhere, right?

'mark our territtory?' blue suggested which at the moment with my current boredom sounded like a pretty good idea which left me asking

'how do we do that?'
