Prologue
Turning rogue
Emily Wild
All I see is trees. I have no idea where I am, but I just keep running. I can't take the chance to stop, not yet. My paws are burning, and my breath is becoming heavier. I feel like collapsing on the ground, but I know I can't. I can't risk it, it's too dangerous.
I can hear paws pound on the ground behind me, coming closer. I press myself to run faster and hear the pounding of paws fade away more and more for every step I take, until I finally can't hear them.
They must have stopped chasing me? I run a little longer just to be sure they aren't after me anymore.
When I finally dare to stop, I instantly collapse on the ground. My breath slowly falls to normal again, and I look at my surroundings. Where am I?
<We are in no-mans-land, close to Fire Rogue pack> my wolf, Amanda, answer.
Fire Rogue pack? Isn't it the neighbor pack to Moonlight pack? Then I'm close to California.
What am I supposed to do now? I have no family, no home, no pack. I'm all alone.
<NO, I'm still here, and I will always be here. You will never be alone> Amanda assures me.
<Yes, you're right. We have each other, and we will always stick together. Thank you, Manda. I don't need anyone except you>
<Yeah, same, but I suggest that we find a new pack to join. It's not safe here. You are only thirteen; A child. It would be best if we found a pack >
<No! We are done with packs. Packs are cruel, and Alpha's are the worst. From now on, we're a lone wolf> I state.
<A lone wolf>
