I turned and ran, straight towards my packs border. Then I realised my body was doing this on its own. Is this what it feels like when your wolf takes over?

I was so confused. Why does Alpha Robert want to kill me? Why were my parents so disappointed in my shift? Did I not do it right?

All these questions ran through my head. As I focused where I was going again I noticed I was about to cross the territory line. Alphas didn't like to leave their territory unnecessarily so this was my best chance to get away.

As I crossed the line I felt a strain on my connection to the pack. My alpha wasn't giving me permission to leave and by running away I was abandoning the pack. I let my wolf keep running until the connection broke and I was officially a rogue.

My wolf ran for about another hour before stopping by a lake and giving control back to me. I fell into a heap exhausted from running all this way.

I had no idea where we were.

We need to keep going. It's not safe here

I assumed the voice in my head was my wolf so I trusted her and continued to walk.

What's your name I asked her

I'm Jenny

I carried on walking for a while just thinking about what happened.

Why do they hate us I asked her

There was silence for a while before she finally answered

Because we aren't like them Charlotte. We are not a wolf

This confused me. Of course I was a wolf. My parents were wolves. I was from a pack of wolves. Heck I even shifted into a wolf!

No you didn't

She was annoying me now.

Just tell me what you mean or stop talking I snapped at her

You will see what I mean

And with that she went quiet. I huffed and continued walking. I watched my paws as I put one foot in front of another. They were a reddish colour. I wonder is the rest of me is this colour.

My body was exhausted and it was now really dark. I decided I needed to find somewhere to rest for a while.

I found a tree with a wide trunk. Without thinking I began digging at the trunk until I had made a slight hallow that I could fit my body into. I settled into it and noticed that the sides protected me from any harsh winds in the night. I guess living outside comes naturally after you shift.

I closed my eyes and let myself fall to sleep as my body began to relax.
