as they started to trail down her cheeks. She knew this was the end of it all for her. Then suddenly, a loud thud resonated. She opened her eyes in search of the creature which was no longer there.
She whipped her head around and saw two black wolves, struggling and gnawing at each other. It was like a blur of black smoke, as the two wolves struggled to pin the other down. It was clear that the other wolf was stronger. With one final bite, the black wolf with the brown across its back had knocked out the other wolf.
It stared back at her with a knowing grin, and ran off into a maze of fog and narrow alleys.
The wolf with the black fur and the silver across its eyes lay there still, heaving for breath that didn’t come. Hailey had finally risen from where she was. She walked slowly to the creature that had sacrificed itself to protect her. She wasn’t able to hold back the tears now. She scooped the beast’s head and laid it on her lap as she tried calming it.
Then a warm light started emanating from the creature as it slowly transformed back into a young man with jet black hair and jade green eyes.

“Please don’t bring me to a hospital.” The man told her as he passed out.
She quickly dug her phone from her pocket and called Caleb to help her bring the wounded man to her apartment. She was a nurse, she knew what to do, and even though it was against her better judgement to not bring the man to the hospital, she didn’t. This was the man, or creature, who had sacrificed his life for her.
A day had passed with her and Caleb, watching over the man who now lay in her bed. She tried so hard to not talk to Caleb. But they were there in that room, with a man who had saved her from an animal that, besides the color, looked much like Caleb when he transformed.
“I want answers.” She said with a stoic face.
“I know.” Caleb replied trying to give off an air of confidence.
She knew some of the answers she’d be getting would be beyond her own understanding and some might actually get her into more trouble, but she decided she just had to know. She needed to at least get a semblance of understanding.
“Who are you?” She asked
“I am Caleb Storm, but you already know that.” He looked at her, staring into her eyes. She didn’t flinch.
“My family came here during the Civil War to help the confederate armies. We had a huge stake in the cotton industry, so we felt we had to at least pitch in. We were originally from Wales. After we lost the war, we decided to settle here.”
He breathed in. “A few years ago, my entire family was murdered. I’m the only one left.”
She stared at him in shock, not knowing how to reply. He said it like it was just some common fact.
“You see, being a werewolf without a family – a pack – is the hardest kind of wolf there is to be. But I didn’t choose this. Someone else chose this for me. Now, I am an Alpha; the strongest kind of wolf, but one without a pack.”
“I moved to New York to find peace with myself and I almost did.” He said.
Suddenly, the bed creaked, it was the jade-eyed man.
“Until he met me.” He piped in.
His injuries had healed so quickly, but it was obvious that he was in a lot of pain.
“Hailey, listen to me. I don’t care what happened to you. But you must understand this. That man is dangerous. His family killed mine.” Caleb’s face was painted with frustration, with fear – with anger. Hailey had forced Caleb to help her rescue the man whose family murdered his. She almost felt pity for him.
“It wasn’t me. I had nothing to do with those situations in the past. It was years ago. We were at war.” The man didn’t even try denying what Caleb had said.
“Yes, but you’re the Alpha of your pack now. The sins of your father’s are your sins too.” Caleb barked back.
Caleb’s eyes started glowing as his anger boiled over.
“Why not tell her why I was here the other night?” The man calmly asked.
“She
