Chapter 1 — Once Upon A Time…NOT!

Do you know the stories of werewolves? Beings that shift into wolf form on full moons with no choice in the matter? Beings whose animal instincts take over, leading to inevitable bloodshed?

They are true... Well, everything but the full moon bullshit.

My name is Amberle Crest. I am supposed to be a Beta or a Head Tracker due to my bloodline, but you would never know.

I come from a modest pack, Forest Paw. Stupid name, I know. It is situated in the middle of a forest in northwestern Ontario, close to a place humans call Sauble Beach.

The thing about my pack is that it was a family. People loved you no matter who you were or what had happened to you. Everyone was family, and we helped each other in times of need. Or so they said.

I haven't had any sort of familial relationship past the age of eleven. The only familial love I've gained in my life came from Alpha Blue. He treated me like family when he did not have any meetings or pack business that required him to travel. When he was out of the territory, my life was a living hell. At just eleven, I learned a lot about how a pack could turn on you, even at a tender age. It was a horrible experience.

I was eighteen before my life finally took a turn for the better. But it was only after my life had come crashing down around me in a painful twist of fate. 

But before I get ahead of myself, how about I start from the beginning?
