Chapter two Kiba's Memory

I stared at her with astonishment for a few minutes and then composed my face as I said, "She's our savior, our prophesied white wolf? How is that even possible?" My voice slowly got louder as I let the fumes out.

Cindy just stood there with sad eyes and said coolly when I was done," Yes she is. My husband, the late beta, and I had a little girl a year before he was killed and when she was born she possessed the mark of Akura on her shoulder. I was afraid and so I kept her secret from the pack the best I could. I had a friend watch over her as I went on patrols and lived two lives. It was hard but I managed. None the less she is the Akura."

I stared at Cindy and then sighed say, "Well if she is, she needs to be protected."

"No! I don't want her to know of the pack life unless she has to. I want her to live a normal life," Cindy expressed as her dark brown eyes hardened as she said "normal".

"Cindy," I said as I sat down on the floor at the edge of the sofa and waited for Cindy to sit down in one of the chairs before saying, "The hunter saw her and how she protected me. They won't leave her alone and is one day going to realize she is connected to the pack. You know the horrible things they will do to her. Don't do that to her. Let me protect her, I'll keep the secret of the pack from her as long as I can."

Cindy ran her hands into her hair and stared at the floor as she replied, "Okay, but she must not find out about the pack unless there is no other option. I don't want her to be tied to one future."

"I promise as the next alpha, that I will protect Alex."

There were a few minutes of silence between us when suddenly Alex started to wake up.

Alex's Memory

I felt groggy and could her voices but couldn't pick up any words they were saying. I could hear a velvet-like voice that must be a guy and my mom's higher pitched voice. I slowly tried to flutter my eyes opened. Everything was so bright at first and then I saw my living room ceiling. I slowly propped myself up on my arm and looked at my mom's worried face as I said, "Mom, what are you doing here?" and then it hit me, the images of my wolf the hunter. My pulse started to race as I tried to get the words out as fast as I could, "The wolf! Is he okay? What about the hunter what happened?"

My mom came over to kneel down by me and brushed my hair with her hand as looked into my cool blue eyes, "Everything is all right now honey, calm down okay. You just had an accident is all with that hunter. Luckily Kiba was here to help you out."

I hadn't noticed him yet but slowly a boy about my age with deep green eyes and light tan skin came into view. He was wearing a form fitting black long sleeve shirt and a pair of dark wash jeans. He's pretty cute, I thought as I bit the inside of my lip and smiled saying, "Hello," in a meek voice.

He smiled back which made my heart flutter slightly, "Hello, I'm Kiba my family is great friends with your mom, I was coming over to borrow a book when I heard a gunshot so I came running and say the scuffle. The man left pretty quickly."

"What about the wolf. Is he okay?" I asked worriedly.

This seem to amuse Kiba for some odd reason as he said, "The wolf ran off into the forest. I carried you in and patched you up. You might be a little sore for a while."

I pulled up my shirt to see the bandage on my left side and slowly applied pressure expecting some pain. I looked up Kiba with questioning eyes. "No I should be okay there is almost no pain. Thank you though."

There was an awkward silence between us until finally my mom got up and said, "Well Kiba you best be getting home. Thank you for all your help."

Kiba took the cue and walked to the door and turned to me, smiled and said, "Goodnight."

After that the night was the same as always. My mom and me would eat together discuss tidbits of our days and then I would go upstairs to my room to just change then go to sleep. The only thing was I couldn't sleep. I would toss and turn with the day's events going through my head. My wolf, the man with the gun swirled around. Why was he chasing my wolf? What did he want? I thought but I didn't get anywhere but frustrated. I gave up and put it to the back of my mine to examine later. I stared up at my wood paneled ceiling and out through the skylight which showed the night sky filled with thousands of stars.
