I turned on my heels and I ran. But no matter how much of a fast runner I was as a human, I could

never out run a Wolf. A large dominant male Wolf at that. And within a hundred yards, the Wolf was on

me. Pinning me to the ground as his large jaw snapped at me – his eyes were wild and feral. And I then

realised I wasn't looking at a Werewolf, no I was looking at an actual Wolf.

"Get off her. Get the fuck off her" Rafa snapped, rushing up to us but not actually moving the Wolf off

me. I was confused, because the Wolf was the size of a Werewolf but his eyes were darker, feral, a Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

lack of humanity. And then I realised who I had on top of me – one of the Yellowstone Wolves. Seth's

words echoed in my head;

he went full Wolf, he lost his humanity.

The Wolf growled at me before I exposed my neck to him. Rafa sucked in a breath as I submitted to the

Wolf in the most primal of ways – knowing that he could kill me before I even realised it. But this Wolf

wanted to speak to me, so I hoped and prayed it was enough to calm him.

Luckily, I was right. The Wolf stared at me, eyes glancing at my exposed neck before he climbed off

me. He backed up a few yards as I scrabbled to my feet. Rafa reached out to help me but I pushed him

away angrily. "Traitor" I hissed to him and he frowned.

"You don't understand, May, you have to hear him out" Rafa said, his voice almost pleading. I turned to

the sandy Wolf, my entire body shaking in fear. I knew that Rafa was trouble but I didn't believe it was

actual trouble – more the sort of trouble that normal seventeen year old boys got in; drink, drugs and

girls. Not acts of treason against their own Pack and Alpha.

"You set this all up didn't you? You got those jerks in there to come insulting me because you knew the

Pack members would jump in and defend me. You made that fight happen so you could drag me out

here without anyone knowing".

"Just, please, listen to Yemi".

The Wolf looked at me, his feral eyes looking at me, before he swung onto his back legs. The Wolf

reared up before his body changed to human form. The human form was as feral as the Wolf form. The

man, Yemi, had long sandy hair, and beard, and his body was covered in scars and caked in dirt.

"You are Luna" he grumbled, voice hoarse and static.

"What do you want?" I demanded, voice as shaky as my hands.

"Go back". Yemi spoke in harsh words, like a child who hadn't learnt conjunctive words yet. But I

suspected he used to speak perfect English but after years of living like a Wolf, his words failed him

slightly.

"Go back? I don't understand".

"Go back. My Pack".

I looked for Rafa for help, "no one is stopping you. Go back to Black Bloods and--"

"No. Go back. My Pack".

"I don't understand" I said. Rafa gulped and I was confused what was going on, why any of this had

happened at all. How did Rafa even meet this guy? Yemi was getting upset that I wasn't understanding

him, and his upset came to a place of anger.

"Go back".

"Back where? Please, I'm not stopping you going back. Seth and I aren't stopping you going back to

Black Bloods Pack. Whatever Rafa has told you is a lie, we don't have anything over you".

"Go back!" he screamed at me. I took a step back as Rafa tensed.

"I told you not to get him angry, May" he hissed at me, like it was my fault.

"Don't shout at me. You did this, this is all your fault" I snapped at him. Yemi growled at me again and I

froze. I usually got people angry with my smart mouth and my inability to not speak back. But I was

careful around Yemi, knowing how dangerous he was, but it still wasn't working. He was getting angry

and I didn't know what would happen when he lost all sense. Seth's words echoed in my brain again;

he went full Wolf, he lost his humanity .

"Look, if you want to go back. Then just go, please". I was pleading with him, feeling and sounding

pathetic. But I didn't care, I knew this man could kill me without a second thought and there was no one

around to save me.

"You stop. I go back" he grunted.

"I'm not stopping you. Just leave" I shouted, getting frustrated. He growled again, his eyes darkening to

the point of almost insanity. And that was when I realised that this man would never fit into a normal

Wolf Pack, he was too far gone. He didn't want to go back to Black Bloods Pack, he wanted to go back

to Yellowstone.

"Your Pack. Yellowstone, you want to go back? Is that it?" I asked carefully.

"Yes. Go back".

"Okay". I wasn't sure what he wanted from me and I was still confused about Rafa's part in the whole

situation. It didn't make any sense to me.

"Now" Yemi screamed and I stumbled back in shock. "I go back. Now!". He stepped towards me, lips

peeling back in a growl, and I heard Rafa suck in a breath. I was speechless, I had no idea how to get

him back to Yellowstone or even if that was a good idea.

"I can't do anything. Please, I am barely a Luna. I'm just a kid, I don't know anything" I admitted, tears

gathering in my eyes. "Please, just let me go. I can't do anything for you, I can't take you back. I'm just

a stupid kid pretending to play at a Luna".

"Go back" he screamed, stepping closer. I whimpered in fear as a shameless tear ran down my face.

Once more I couldn't protect myself, I was pathetic and weak. A girl like her , that's what Cormack had

called me. But he had no idea. A girl like her – a pathetic, average, weak girl who could spout insults at

anyone, but cried the moment someone actually threatened her.

"I'm sorry, I--" I began, speaking through tears. But my words were cut off as he lunged at me. I

screamed as he knocked me to the ground, his body shifting as he knocked into me. He pinned me, as

his body was half Shifted, and I could feel pain exploding from the back of my head.

"Yemi! Don't!" Rafa yelled. But it did no good. Yemi – half beast, half man – opened his mouth and his

teeth snapped down over my jugular. I screamed as he ripped the skin and my blood exploded around

us. Rafa gave Yemi a kick and the man beast flew off. Yemi got up, seeming to realise what he had

done to me, before turning and taking off into the forest.

Rafa looked down at me, and I wordlessly asked him to help me. To save me. His dark eyes were full of

fear as he looked over me. "I'm sorry" he said, then he turned and he left. He left me there to die. He

was a coward.

I lay on the floor, unable to move, and I knew I was seconds away from dying. I coughed and felt blood

on my lips. 'I'm sorry Seth. I love you' , I thought to myself.

Then, just as my body was about to give up, I felt a raging fire shot through my body. And then my back

arched and I gasped. I knew one thing right then – my body was fighting back. I heard my father's

words in my mind; 'violence brings out the Wolf, Mabel. If your ever in danger, your Wolf will come. You

Wolf will save you if you need it to' .

Iwas finally Shifting.
