Chapter 12

                                    

                                          
Molly's POV
                          
"Pretty!" I squeal even though I'm alone in the woods. I pick up a pebble and throw it into the salty water. 
                          
I lean over the water to look at my reflection. I'm wearing a pink bow that holds back my fine brown hair. 
                          
A fork is jabbed millimeters away from my nose. 
                          
"What do you think you're doing here!?" The lavender haired girl says. 
                          
"What?" I say with a laugh. 
                          
"I will stab you with my dinglehopper!" She says. 
                          
"What? You mean that fork?" I laugh. 
                          
"I thought werewolves were afraid of silver." The young girl says. 
                          
"I don't really know, my daddy told me to stay away from it, but I don't know what it does." I say. 
                          
"Don't you want to kill me or something?" She says. 
                          
"Why would I want to do that?" I ask. 
                          
"Uh because we're not the same." She says. 
                          
"I'm nice to werewolves, why can't I be nice to you?" I say. She thinks for a second. 
                          
"I've always wanted to ask, what's it like being half wolf?" She asks. 
                          
"What's it like being half fish?"

'Molly! Help! Marc's pack is attacking us! I'm so sorry Molly! I need- THEY FOUND US! RUN!' 
                          
The mind link cuts dead. 
                          
"My pack!" Jack and I say at the same time, he must've gotten the same mind link. 
                          
'Emily! Emily! Are you okay!?' I desperately try to reach her. 
                          
Jack and I run off, still in wolf form. 
                          
I discover that I'm just a hair faster than him. 
                          
'Molly! Did Emily tell you!?' Nicole asks through a link. 
                          
'Yes! Are you okay!? Is she okay!?' I ask. 
                          
'They are taking people from the packs as hostages! We can't fight them! They're not like any werewolf I've ever seen!' She says. 
                          
'I'm coming!' I say. 
                          
'NO! Go away! They are looking for you! They want you! They're chanting you're name! Please leave.' She says. 
                          
'They want me!? That's it!? I'm willing to give myself to them if it saves the pack. I know my duty.' I say. 
                          
"I'm sorry Jack." I say out loud.
                          
"What? For what? What are you talking about?" He starts to panic. 
                          
'NO MOLLY!! THEY'LL KILL YOU!!' I hear Nicole start to sob. 
                          
"They want to kill me, Jack. I need to save not only my pack, but all the packs." 
                          
"No Molly. Marc wants to kill me, not you. He wants to mark you. If he wants to take you, then he's taking me too." Jack says. It's moments like this I hate being Alpha more than usual. I hate having an Alpha mate. I hate Marc. I hate his pack. All I want to do is turn around and go home. 
                          
I remain speechless as we approach the battlegrounds. I hug in really close to Jack. I know he's going to leave me, but I want to stay with him as much as possible. Something about him, I don't know, just makes me want to be with him. I know what you're thinking, Molly, you're crazy you've only been mates for like an hour. Judge me.
