I hit the ground hard, rolling out from under the car before it ran me over, I make it to my feet running into the woods hoping to be hidden. I hear Daryl stop the truck, doing what I do best I climb the nearest tree. Fear beats through me, I can't believe I was that crazy to jump from a moving car. Werewolf or not I could still be killed.

I see another car pull up to Daryl's truck and a man step out. Daryl meets him.

"She took off that way." Daryl growls pointing to where my footsteps lead.

Fuck! I thought about the snow, it's going to lead to the tree I'm in, looking around I see I'm close enough to tree jump. Climbing a little higher making sure the branches can hold my light weight I jump quickly grabbing the next branch.

I breathe making sure there isn't any noise, my brothers always joked I was part monkey, I would have made a great guard, but my brothers didn't want me to. Thought that the fighting should be for them because they were bigger and stronger, or because I was their little sister. We did have girls as guards, but I was smaller than a werewolf should be, most are 5'7 or 5'9 foot as girls. I was short like 5'2, but that's what happens when your grandfather mates with a human. Kinda makes short werewolves.

"Alpha her tracks stop here!" The guy yells.

"She must have climbed into it." Daryl says his voice has a hint of pride in it. I knew it was his wolf, he was a cold hard monster. He's human self didn't have feelings like his wolf might.

I peek at the two of them from three trees away. I let out a small laugh as Daryl begins climbing the tree.

"Oh boys!" I yell out. Daryl falls out of the tree looking my way but I've hidden myself in the leaves. Let me tell you it's hard hiding in the trees since it's winter there is barely any leaves.

"Enough of this Joyce! Come out now." Daryl growls

I look at the next tree it was a lot farther than what I've been jumping. I decide to risk it I rather break my neck then be Daryl's mate. I knew I was going to fall because as soon as I started to climb higher to make the jump the branch snapped. Letting out a scream I try to grab another branch so I didn't hit the ground but my hands keep slipping I hit the hard time with an 'oof!'

God I have to stop falling on my ass, it's going to be sore later. I thought to myself.

Sitting up very very slowly trying to keep the world from spinning. I felt blood trickle down for my head, and I had some cuts on my arms from where my jacket was torn by the branches I knew I probably had some bruises that I would be finding later.

Darkness called for me, I tried to fight knowing I had to get out of here but I couldn't in the end I lost.

~~~~~~~

I blink my eyes open, the first thing I noticed is that I'm no longer on the cold ground. My jacket had been taken off me and there was a bandage around my arm.

Sitting up slowly since I was since kinda dizzy, I take in my surroundings. I could tell by the smell I was in Daryl's room, his sheets were a grey he had a nice dark brown bed and matching drawers.

A chair sat close to the bed, a figure sat in it but it was hard to see his face since he was sitting half in the shadows that the half closed curtains that sweep setting sun into the room.

I also knew it was Daryl, at least you could have given me some respect to give me private to you while I slept, I thought to myself. So doing the respectable thing I let all the loud scream startling him awake.

"What, what?" He says sitting up and looking around the room before his eyes landed on me.

"Finally you're awake." I say annoyed, I pulled the blanket off me and start getting up.

"Where do you think your going?" He asks me as I stretch.

"Uh I need to pee." I tell him. The world is a little wobbly, but I don't let him know that. My ass like I thought was sore.

"Ew I didn't need to know the whole detail."

"You asked."

I stand there for a moment, staring at the setting sun. Just this morning my little sister was waking me up for Christmas.

"The bathroom that way you know." Daryl says breaking me from my thoughts.

"No shit." I snapped at him even though I didn't know.

Going into the bathroom it was huge like the bedroom. What I really was looking for was a window that opened. There was only one that didn't open up which sucked so pretending to use the bathroom I flush the toilet. I took the time to take a look at the bruises on my ass they weren't bad, some were already turning yellow meaning that they were almost healed.

I go back into the room, Daryl was still sitting in a chair by the bed but this time he had a book with him.

"Dinner should be done about now." He says

"Nor hungry." I reply as I stand by the window looking out towards Daryl's pack. He sighs as he gets up.

"Fine, whatever starve to death."

I roll my eyes at him, even though he can't see it. Once he's gone I wait another ten minutes before walking slowly to the door, I peek out of it checking for anyone then walking down the hall to a set of stairs.

The stairs don't make a sound as I quietly walk down them, I walk down a short hallway to a dining room, a door opens behind me and a blonde haired girl with a tray of food stops in her tracks. Her eyes widen as she takes a look at me.

"Hola," She says.

"Uh, hi." I say awkwardly.

"You lost honey?" She asks me with a thick Spanish accent.

"Yes madam." I say politely annoying my mother would smack me upside the head if I didn't remember my manners.

"Alrighty." She says setting the food down on the table she begins the walk the opposite way she came. "Come on missy."

She walks towards the stairs and pass them going down a narrow hallway. "There's the front door." She says walking off.

I wonder how she knew I was looking for the front door but then again I don't think Daryl was the kind of man to wait for his mate to have sex.

Throwing the door open, I run out the door I didn't I know exactly where I was going all I needed to know was that I had to get away as fast as I could. People were everywhere they watched as I ran from the Alpha's house but no one tried to stop me.

That told me all I needed to know about Daryl wanting to have sex, not that I did either, but I wasn't goint to tell him that.

The farther I went into his territory I noticed less and less people were around. As I walked around I noticed a lot of the houses here were beat down, broken and falling apart a lot of the people here really skinny, dirty and smelt funky. No one looked at me as I walked past them most of them coward away from me as if I would strike them.

"Joyce!" A voice yells for me.

I don't turn around to know who it was of course Daryl would find me must have followed my scent.

"Sweetheart-"

"Don't call me that either." I snapped.

Daryl sighs "You're not allowed down here."

"And why ever so not?"

"Because this place is for the Omega of the pack."

I tried to quicken my pace, of course he would have a place for the weakness. In his pack after all he was cruel enough to do that to someone. The people who were born this way and couldn't control it. He probably could even help them become stronger but instead he chose to leave them behind, until they were erased from memory unable to find mates or have families.

As I looked around I noticed a lot of the people there were children not many adults.

"How . . . How could you . . .you be s-s-so cruel" I stuttered as I tried to control my anger.
