Rolling her eyes, "You didn't notice it ?" placing her hand on her hip.

"Notice what?" Trying to go back and see what I had missed. Thinking of nothing odd except the new kid just bothering me in general.

"Cara! You are so clueless sometimes!" Giggles Kaline,
"I mean, it was right in your face the whole time!"

"Kaline, what the hell are you talking about?!" I say, confused.

Kaline smirks at my confusion, "You'll see.." Winking at me and swiftly walking away, her high heels clacking away.

What the hell is going on? I thought to myself, I mean ever since the new kid.... everyones been acting strange around me. Sighing with frustration and exhaustion, I slowly make my way to my front door. Closing it behind me, I listen for any sounds. Hearing nothing I happily make my way to my bedroom, shutting the door and collapsing upon my bed.

"Finally, some peace..." I softly murmur as I fall asleep.

Im 6 years old, running through flowers and the sun beats down on me.
Giggling, I run after her..so carefree and happy,"Brenneka, wait for me!"

"Come!" I hear her shout, a million soft sighs echo.

I can't find her, I run and run screaming and crying.."Brenneka?!"
Suddenly it gets dark and cold, there's no joy or love.. Just coldness.
Shivering, I see something..but what could it be? I move toward it.."Hello? Brenneka is that you? come on..I'm scared" Sniffling,
Until I see a very beautiful woman, with long golden waves and bright green eyes. Wearing a silver dress, that seemed to float around her.

"Who are you?" My 6 year old self asks curiously.

The strange woman smiles at me, "Hello Child, we only have a short time together, so i'll make this quick"

I tilt my head but slowly step closer and pay close attention to what she says. "Your mother can't be trusted, neither can the one you call friend..but not to worry, the one you've been waiting for is here"

"Why can't I trust my mummy? and who?" Shocked and confused.

"She'll betray you, child, dark times lay ahead for you.." Shaking her golden hair out as she frowns,
"He'll protect you, he'll be your mate and find you a proper pack..it's part of the prophecy"

The strange woman starts to fade, I try to clutch to her, for more answers, "Wait! Please don't go!"
Suddenly the beast is infront of me, growling and looking wretched. I scream and tripping over a rock as I turn around to run, I stand up and run..trying to find a hiding place but he's gaining on me, I start panting as my body can't run any more. I turn around to face the beast just as he grabs me around the wais-

Startling in my sleep, I groan as I yawn and stretch. What an odd dream, shaking my head of those nasty thoughts..Hmm, not trusting my mom? and what friend? Ugh, I'm sick of these puzzles. Looking at the clock and realizing it's 6:02..it's already dark, the moon will be up soon. Best start getting ready, I walk toward the bathroom passing by my moms room, something catches my eye.

I back up a step and enter her room, a single box lay on the ground-pictures surrounding it. I kneel beside the box, glancing at the unfamiliar pictures. Why would my mom keep photos of her and some man? I pick up another photo, staring at my mom atleast 20 years old, with once again, a man i've never seen in my life and a little girl..who isn't me?! what IS this?

Growling, I turn it over and read the date '1996, September 12.' frowning, I read the rest 'Cinder, Liam, & Brenneka'
Flashbacks of me chasing her,just who is she...?

Me, You & A Traitor.

My mom won't be back until 4 in the morning..Stupid business trip. I wanna know who these people are, more specifically who I am.
Running back to my room, I quickly take off my clothes and pull on a soft black sundress. Feeling the change slowly begin, I walk out the back door..making sure it was just me. Sighing with relief I cross over my backyard and into the forest just behind my house. Moaning as I feel the change starts, as soon as I'm deep enough in the forest, I strip naked.

Moaning again with anticipation, I drop to my hands and knees..growling softly as I change into the beast I am. Shaking out the rest of the change I start gliding through the forest, howling at the moon..I start running and enjoying the feeling. I was free but I smelled something, sniffing the air. I growled, another wolf in my territory ?! I followed the scent, my instincts kicking in. Running and running, the wind howling, the trees rustling with anticipation. He's close, and..I'm enticed by his scent, musk..very exotic.

I see him. I slowly come up behind him, growling to let him know im there. The other wolf was magnificent, even more so than me..with pure white fur and deep green that showed intellect and power. I knew looking into those eyes, he was my mate. Finally. Still, I growled at him to get him off my property.

He wouldn't budge, making me angry. I barked at him, and he fell to the ground turned onto his back giving me his belly and neck. He was giving up, I sat down. He grinned and flipped onto his belly slowly crawling to me, I snort. Looking at him, I run as fast as i can dodging trees, roots, whatever I can. Looking behind me, he's following. I enjoy a good chase, so I run even more until dawn.

Waking up i noticed i'm butt naked by a stream with bruises all over me. Shaking my head I stand up and stretch my soreness out. Groaning I make my way into the house before my mom notices I'm gone.
Two-hours later I stand in the mirror checking to make sure everything is just perfect. Tight skinny jeans, and a floral tank, with my hair braided to the side. Barely any make up, I usually never wear make up because I simply don't need it. Girls are jealous because of it and guys want me even more.

I do, however, apply lipgloss..for uh, someone. Grabbing my book bag and waving my mom goodbye as I head out the door. I pause and turn toward her.
"Mom.."

Mom looks up at me and smiles, "Something wrong, Hun?"

Frowning, i pull out the crinkled picture "Who are they?"

My mom looks at me as she takes the photo from my hands, "Oh dear.."
"I knew you'd find out sooner or later, well..you're adopted..I mean it shouldn't come to a surprise to you. We look nothing alike"

Sighing, I nodded.."Why did you wait until I was 15 to tell me this ?!" angry.

"Look you're going to be late for school, this was my family before yours. We were attacked by robbers, they killed my husband and took my dear daughter" My mom sighed heavily, sorrow etched on her face.
Staring at my mom, I realized what she was saying was complete bullshit.
Hugging her and quickly leaving the house with nothing but hate, I mean why would my mom lie to my face like that?
Shaking my head of those ugly thoughts and seeing Embers car with everybody in tow, I joined them.

Kaline look at my outfit and giggled"Look who decided to finally wear that shirt, and those jean!" I blushed bright red as everyone appraised my outfit. Ash winked at me. Rolling my eyes at him.
"So..I think my mom just lied to me about something involving my adoption" carefully placing the words, waiting for everyones expressions.

Ash dropped his mouth, "Whoa, ...whoa..YOU'RE ADOPTED?"

Kaline shrugged,"You never did look like your mother"

Ember stayed silent for a minute before speaking "What's the plan?"

I stifled a giggle at Ash's shock, "There's another thing..last night in the woods there was another wolf and I think he's my mate" Oh goddess, how those words scare me!

Ash keeps quiet this time, emotionless. Ember smiles happily "Finally, you figured it out!" Kaline rolled her eyes at both of them and turned to me "It sure took you long enough" and went back to painting her nails blue.

Ember sighed and finally parked infront of our school, But something struck me as odd.."Wait..you two know who he is?!"
Kaline looked up, and Ember froze "Whoa, wait Cara..you don't?!"

"No and frankly, i'd like to" looking at both of them.

Kaline "Maybe we shouldn't..tell you"

Ember frowned "It's for him to tell you Cara, not us"

Growling at both of them, I opened my door and ran into the school. How hard is it to tell me a stinkin' name? I mean come on! Ugh, concentrate Cara. Standing at my locker I grab my books but just as I was turning around I automatically sensed HIM. The one. My mate.
"What do you want, Julian?" Wondering why he was here. My eyes check him out while a seductive smile crosses my face.

Passing Strange

Looking over him, I realized he had power a lot of it too. It made me want him even more, this.... need, No scratch that, the craving to own him fully.
"Cara, glad you knew it was me" wrapping his arms around my waist and looking down at me with those bright green eyes.
leaning down toward my ear, "Last night was quite the run, I wanna make you mine"

Leaning back with my eyes half-way closed and power, intense need passed between us. My heart started beating really fast with just the thought of him holding me. This was uncontrollable passion.
Smirking at him, I say in the softest voice "Come and get me, Wolf boy" Before closing my locker and walking away, Knowing full well he was staring at my ass.

All through history, he had eyes on me watching all my moves. I wanted nothing more than to feel his arms around me, the heat
