I suddenly awoke from the sound of the thunder crashing through the sky. As I shot up, I turned to look at the little clock on my bed side table that blinded my eyes as I did. When my eyes adjusted I noticed it was already 12.00. ''Great, midnight!'' I murmured to myself. I was finally 18 and could not celebrate with family. My family had all died in a fire that could not be explained, 8 years ago.
Since then I had lived alone in my cabin that is in the middle of a forest. My father was a blade. By blade I mean he could kick ass without any training! I inherited my father’s blade abilities and my mother’s werewolf ability. I had not transformed into my wolf yet, because I used to live in the city and had to push it back. I was in the city because a lot of hunters came for me when they found out that I was also a blade, and I became a huge threat to them. My mother decided to move there to protect me. Then 3 years later the fire happened. I escaped because my mother took me out back. Then she ran in for my father and I being the curious little child I was followed her. ''Go outside Lyra! Mummy and daddy are right behind you!'' She screamed as she looked at me through the flames. I had to listen. I don't remember anything else because I collapsed into the bushes. Then my grandmother found me and took me to this cabin. She told me to stay here and then left.
I was forcefully pulled out of my thoughts when I heard a loud yelp. Me being the blade I am, shot up and used my ice cold hands to wipe my eyes. I quickly shoved on a black tank top, denim shorts that had the ripped effect and black flats. Then to save time I forced the window open and jumped out. I stood still trying to listen until I heard a rustle. I ran at werewolf speed to the noise. I stopped dead when I saw the handsome black wolf looking at me with his urban eyes. My wolf was screaming in my head ''MATE!'' I couldn’t help but smile. He looked at me, frozen as well and then I noticed that he knew I was his mate. He started to squirm trying to get to me. I walked over to him and placed my hand onto his head. His eyes closed, and I could feel the tingle beneath my hand. His fur was warm and soft and if I had not seen his eyes first I wouldn’t have noticed him. He was blacker than black. Once again I was dragged from my thoughts when he let out a forceful growl. I then mind slapped myself for not concentrating. I looked around and noticed that there were 6 hunters around us. I looked at my mate and noticed his foot caught in the trap. He was Hurt! ''You'll never get him out! Oi Jake grab her!'' I turned to see who was talking; it was a tall man with brown eyes and a hat on. He had little facial hair and to tell you the truth he looked like a drunk. Typical of a leading hunter to look like that. I let out a loud growl as one of the hunters came near me. My mate was now trying to bite the metal clasp off his foot and I could see it was hurting him. The clasp around his ankle had some kind of chemical that burnt us werewolves, on it.
I had come into contact with this before when I was 7. I tried to remember how I only got scared then I remembered it was in the fire. I suddenly saw the hunter coming closer and looked at my mate ''Shh, don't move ill get it off'' I told him. I grabbed the sides of it and pulled them apart ignoring the amount of pain it put me through I held them harder until I heard a clang. My mate jumped up before I could check his ankle and killed the hunter that was about to stab me in the back. I ran to the closest tree trying to heal myself so I could help but it would take at least half an hour to heal these wounds. I closed my eyes and squeezed my hands together trying to get them to heal faster. It worked but when I opened my eyes my mate was in front of me. If he was not handsome as a wolf he was now absolutely gorgeous in human form... He had black hair that was the same colour as his wolfs and urban eyes. I stared at his as I noticed his hands were on mine. I then started to concentrate and realized that they healed faster because he helped. ''Please tell me your okay mate'' his voice was music to my ears. ''I’m fine and don't call me mate please'' I knew if I didn’t take my eyes away I would have kissed him and I wanted to get to know him first.''Im sorry ermmm...'' I forgot he didn’t even know my name, okay now I feel stupid. ''My names Alyra grace''. I stood up and started to walk back to my house. ''Lyra where you going?'' I stopped still and a tear ran down my face. I had not been called Lyra since my parents had died and it was heart braking to hear it. But when it came from his lips it was relaxing. ''I’m going home to sleep'' I shouted back to him.
Before I could walk more he was in front of me lifting me up from the ground and walking in the opposite direction. ''PUT ME DOWN, how dare you!!'' He smiled at me and I punched his chest. He let out a little ouch and I laughed. 'Yeah you’re not the only one with a hard punch' I thought to myself. He looked at me and I knew he was an alpha because his pupils went smaller as he got angry at me ''Why did you do that, you’re my mate and I’m meant to protect you so you’re coming with me!'' My mouth dropped open as I was once again lifted from the ground. I didn’t say anything this time because as much as I wanted to go home I wanted him to be with me. I wasn’t scared because I knew I could protect myself but I had just found him and he had saved my life I owed him a little gratitude. I was pulled from my thoughts as I was flung into a tree. I shook my head to get rid of the pain as blood came running down my face. I quickly healed it and looked up. My mate was pinned on the floor by 8 hunters and was about to get stabbed. I felt my wolf rising up in me and this time I did not object to letting her out. I suddenly could here my mates voice in my head ''Lyra run! Lyra get out of here! Lyr--'' Before he could say anything else I jumped at the closest hunter and grabbed his head in my teeth and threw him at the others. They all went flying back and I jumped at each of them! One by one I killed them. I stood still and caught my breath back. As I did I searched through my mates head until I found his name ''Jackson is you okay?'' He didn’t reply to my mind message but stared at me. Why was he looking at me Like that? I looked down at my self to see that my wolf was white! WHITE! Great so when I go back into human form imp going to look like a granny!!
Jacksons POV
I screamed as I felt the pain of my mate when she hit the tree. I tried to look up but couldn't move as I noticed 8 hunters surrounding me. I saw her transform and suddenly got the connection through my mind telling me that she could here me. I read her thoughts and noticed that she was also a blade and for some reason I knew if I got on her and side she would kick my ass! I saw her out of the corner of my eye jumping towards me ''Lyra run! Lyra get out of here! Lyr-- Before I could finish she jumped at them and threw one of them at the others. I lay still froze as she came into my full eye sight. She was pure white with bright green eyes. She was beautiful! I could see her fighting and she was like a swan. She fought with grace and beauty yet her shots were like a shark. I realized that she was in protection mode and didn’t interfere. Even if I wanted to she would probably throw me back. I watched as she grabbed the first hunter with her teeth and threw him into the tree with a great force. She did this to the next two and then looked back as the other 4 came running to her the first on she dodged and the second she pushed her paws onto him as the one cam behind her and stabbed her in the neck with a sword. Luckily it did not have the chemical on it and she healed fast. He was still holding onto her, and as I moved my hand so I could get up she grabbed the one under her paws, with her teeth and flung her self backwards crushing the one that was on her back (now under her as she lay n her back) and throwing the other at the tree. The other two she ripped their heads from their bodies and stopped to catch her breath. ''Jackson are you okay?'' I couldn't reply all I did was stare at her. She had blood all over her and still looked amazing. She stared at me as I listened into her thoughts. Noticing her looking down and then up with wide green eyes I couldn’t help but laugh. ''I think white hair will look nice and will make you look young and those green eyes are amazing'' I could tell she was shocked. ‘‘Wait here'' I ran as fast as I could to my pack house ignoring the others who were outside, grabbed some clothes and ran back'' As I got to her I noticed how different she was as a wolf. She was the average size for female wolves but she was stronger than all of them. ‘‘Here I got you some clothes.'' She grabbed them and ran behind the tree and got changed. I hadn't noticed what I had grabbed out for her but when she came back he hair was indeed white and her eyes were green. She was absolutely stunning! I tried to picture her as she was before she changed with her brown hair and brown/green eyes. I remember first seeing her and my wolf shouting ''MATE''. I couldn’t help but stare at how beautiful she was and when she touched me it felt like heaven. Then I remembered the hunters and let out a growl. ''What’s wrong?'' I forced myself out of my thoughts and looked at her. I had grabbed a white dress which was ironic to say that she was a white wolf. It was a small summer dress with little straps and went nice down past her curves and then flared out a little. It made her look like a snow queen. I couldn't wait to touch her so I walked over to her and grabbed her hips ''I’m okay''.
Alyras POV
He walked over to me and grabbed my hips. ''I’m okay'' he replied and I knew he was telling the truth. I wanted to make sure though so I asked again ''Jackson...what’s wrong?'' I said it softly as I looked into his eyes that surprised me when they were looking back at me. ''I’m fine, I promise I’m just a little shocked at the new changes to my mate'' There he goes again with the mate thing. ''Don't call me mate'' I said this time with a little harshness in my voice. ''Why because it makes you feel like a wolves slave''. Okay he was starting to really annoy me but in a good way. I can't believe that he would go through my thoughts so I went through his. ''And your shocked I can kick butt and of how beautiful I apparently am'' I saw the smile wipe from his face and then rise again. ''Lyra don’t change the subject but yes your correct and you are beautiful so don't deny that EVER!'' I couldn’t help but laugh and apologise. I was curious in why we were still stood here around these bodies. The bodies! I looked around and started to shiver as cold chills ran through me. I didn’t like to kill but my blade got the best of me. ''Come on, I’m taking you to the pack house'' I looked back at him ignoring my recent thoughts and read his thoughts to where it was. ''First there'' Was all I could say and by his face I knew that he knew I wanted to get out of here. I pulled him closer and decided to tease him instead of hug him. I kept my eyes on his as I stroked the back of his hair and pulled my lips closer to his and then when they were 1 inch away I ran off. I heard him growl at my teasing and couldn’t help at how sexy he sounded when he growled and it started to turn me on. I ran fast as I heard him slow down behind me 'go in if you dare' I heard him say in my head. I didn’t want him to know how shy I was. I opened the door and as I stepped in I got threw at some steps. Great! I thought to myself, another fight...
