a vampire than was saved by another one. (I woke up calling out to Marcus)

“I take orders from the higher ranking werewolves, Mitch, and the higher ranking werewolves are purebloods; Alex is a pureblood. That is the only reason I have taken orders from him because of that and nothing else.” Blake is really stupid or Alex doesn’t know about me. I laughed at him and he stared me.

“Then you won’t mind us leaving then would you.” As I finished saying this Blake slightly nodded his head and a she-wolf launched herself at me. She didn’t look like she wanted to do it, she was just following orders. Mitch stepped in front of me and gently knocked the she-wolf aside, so he didn’t hurt her.

“MITCHELL STAND DOWN!

You would attack your own pack for her and for what cause, she’s just a human that the pureblood wants back. She already has a boyfriend and whoever that is won’t like you being around her. You will stand down Mitchell and you will not attack your own pack

.” Blake really is starting to annoy me.

“It won’t work Blake he is no longer your Beta but an Alpha. He rules himself and his pack when he has one of his own. Didn’t you know that a pureblood doesn’t need a pack to survive and that they don’t take orders from a half-blood wolf? You really are very unobservant if you didn’t notice that Alex and Daniel don’t order each other around; well they don’t have an Alpha female so they can’t choose who is Alpha and they work together instead.” I smiled at his dumbfounded face and Mitch laughed at him.

“How do you know so much about werewolves? You’re human.” I ignored the question.

“You didn’t think I was a half-blood did you? Michelle isn’t there certain stages that purebloods go through before they are fully mature. And that you’re a little bit bigger than a half-blood when you go through the first stage? Am I right?” Good thinking Mitch.

“You are right; there is a stage where you are a little bigger than a half-blood. That’s why Mitch was always bigger than all of you when he was part of your pack. It really depends on the situation when a pureblood reaches the next stage and it’s not the place for a half-blood to be when the pureblood does reach the next stage. It’s best if a pureblood is around they know what it feels and can help ease the transition or at least distract them from it.” With each word I said I moved closer to Mitch but slightly behind him as well; he did the same just as slowly.

“If that’s true than it was an honour to have a pureblood in my pack. But I can’t disobey my orders and Mitch you should know how that feels. So what’s it going to be fight or come quietly?” Blake always did give the options instead of just getting it done which is probably never going to change.

“It’s going to and will always be neither, say goodbye.” I grabbed Mitch around the waist and threw him up to the tree branch right above us. I didn’t follow him. Instead I changed and growled so loudly that everything that was a few kilometres away scattered. ‘BACK OFF!’

All the wolves came to a halt before they reached me. All of them slinked back into the forest with their tails between their legs and their bodies close to the ground except Blake who hadn’t changed to attack me. Mitch jumped down from the branch above me right onto my back with a grunt and wrapped his arms around my neck, well tried to. Blake looked cowed and scared but he still didn’t move. ‘Hold on but not too tight. Trust me I won’t let you fall off, you should know that’

. I told Mitch as I took off dodging trees and leaping over fallen logs. I moved faster than I had ever done before too fast for Blake to follow closely. I skidded to a stop a metre from the wall of the house. Mitch was speechless and I was gasping for breath. Not only was I puffed out but he had a very tight hold on my throat making it hard for me to breath. He hadn’t realised he was nearly choking me until I morphed back into a human making him fall on his butt with a thump.
“You nearly choked me Mitch (cough) and you have no idea how strong a grip you have. I definitely won’t be doing that again, not with you, not with anyone. Geez.” My voice was hoarse but I still smiled at him to make sure I hadn’t insulted him and he smiled back. We both looked up at his bedroom window and Mitch made a small noise that I didn’t quite understand.

“How do we get back up there without going through the front door? You have to tell me everything when we get back up in my room again.” I just nodded not really listening as I was looking for any foot hold on the wall. There was none to my dismay, not a single crack in the wall.

“Mitch come here. I’m going to boost you up to the window. As soon as you can reach the window seal grab it. Got it?” I saw this as the only way we would get away without his parents catching us and finding out the truth about Mitch. With my back against the wall I link my hands together for Mitch to step into. He steps into my hands without any questions and I send him flying up to the window. As he grabs the window seal to pull himself up there’s a howl not far from the house that makes the familiar noise of the Cronk household quieten. The silhouette of a wolf comes out of the darkness looking, to the human eye, menacing and frightening but to me it only made me move quicker. I morph back into a wolf to use the extra strength to launch myself up to the window seal just as the wolf digs its claws into the dirt that I was just standing on to jump and try to sink its teeth into my foot. Just in time Mitch pulls me in through the window and in the process making a loud thump that must have echoed through the house.

“Mitchell, Michelle, dinners ready if you two are.” Mrs Cronk called from the bottom of the stairs well that’s how far I think she was from us.

“We’ll be there in a minute Mum!” I closed the window and locked it just to be certain that a wolf wouldn’t get in. My whole body was trembling badly more frightened than I thought I had been. My hands were gripping the window seal in a death grip with my fingers going white with the amount of pressure I was putting on them. As the slow cracking sound of wood splintering started Mitch put his hands on mine, gently removing my hands from the window seal and turning me around to pull me into his arms. We stood like that for a few minutes both of us trembling from the adrenaline that had been coursing through our bodies. I pulled away first but Mitch caught my hand, pulled me back and planted his lips on mine. I froze in surprise, not expecting this at all. With no response from me he slowly moved away but not far enough for my liking. So I took a step back away from him, my inner-wolf was growling with annoyance making Mitch’s take a cautious step back but my reaction was enough for Mitch to come to the conclusion that I didn’t feel that way about him. “Whoever it is that has your heart I envy them and they had better take care of you or I’ll personally see to it that he no longer breathes the same air as you. If it’s a vampire it won’t stop me from killing it.” He seemed so protective of me and I don’t know why he would feel that way. He’s never shown any sign of being protective of me in the past. Oh, there’s the day when I got into a fight with one of the girls from school. Her boyfriend came after me the very next day and Mitch stopped him before he could even get anywhere near. The boyfriend was a wolf (the girlfriend was too); part of Blakes’ pack and Mitch was the beta of the pack at the time so the boyfriend backed off. And there’s when Will kept trying to get me alone to do god knows what and there’s when he stood beside me taunting Will when I had reached the first stage of my werewolf power. I seem to get in a lot of fights.

“He’s definitely not a vampire. You know how much I hate, no, loath them with every fibre of my body. Well except a certain family of vampires that took care of me before I was adopted by Alex and Daniel.” We didn’t say anything after that silently agreeing that hands off and there’s no vampire that has any romantic hold on my heart. What we did do was muck around coming down the stairs. Pushing, shoving, racing, pulling each other back so one of us would get there first and we had goofy grins on our faces which probably looked weird but no one said anything. We all sat down for dinner chatting about our day and what we’re going to do for the weekend.


A Werewolf's Rage



I’ve been staying at Mitch’s house for what seems like forever and the thing is that I seemed to fit in as one of the family; I’m even considered part of the family. This is only in two months and I’m accepted into Mitch’s family like I’ve always been there. I’ve still been going to school but as soon as that final bell rings I’m outta there with Mitch right behind me. We would always race home to see who was faster and I was always two metres ahead of him each time.

It was Friday when Alex and Daniel decided they would come and get me themselves to go back home. Mitch and I were warming up when I caught Alex and Daniels scent on the barely present wind. They probably didn’t know that I could smell them and see them crouched in the branches of an oak tree. “What is it?” Mitch straitened from the stretch that he had been doing.

“Nothing.” I slowly turned in a 360 circle pretending to look for something that I felt was watching me. Alex and Daniel always said I was special if Jeremy wanted me protected and that if he doesn’t protect his girl himself it’s obvious that he
