Sasha let out a sigh as she closed the door to her family's home for the last time. She was leaving it behind, putting her past behind her. Sure she was afraid but with time and with her dear friends she would get past the horrific accident that had led to her parents death. Her hand rested on the knob and she smiled, a tear falling down her cheek. She handed the keys to the waiting real estate agent and smiled.
"Miss Redgrave I will take care of everything and forward all the copies of the paperwork after the buyer signs it," said the short a stocky woman.
"Thank you," was all she said as she walked into the waiting cab.
All of her things had been boxed up and shipped across the country. She was about to fly form California to New York and begin life over. She let out a sigh and signaled to the driver to take off. Looking out the window she watched her past drift away and her unknown future pull her forward.

"Ehrik, we have to discuss this," Cassie said.
"I told you I will handle it Cassandra," the tall jet blacked haired man said.
"They have to respect me too. At least till you take a mate I'm alpha female," she said with a whine.
She was right Ehrik knew. There were still certain pack members that refused to follow her lead or listen to her. He would make it know that they would from this moment on at the meeting that evening. He owed that much to her. Cassie was also right about him finding a mate. He'd pretty much given up till the elders informed him she was close. Now he looked around every corner, waiting for the scent of her.
"I will make it known at the meeting Cassie," her said and motioned for her to leave.
She left and closed the door with a load thud. She was pissed he knew that but he had other things on his mind. The club was going to going strong tonight and he had to again make preparations so that were and human would be getting along. He began making calls, setting up the security. The club had closed a few nights ago after there had been an attack. Ehrik had stopped the club from closing and rumors beginning but he needed to keep it calm now.
"Viktor, make sure everything is set for tonight. I've made calls and they will arrive soon. I don't want anything to happen again. I'm going up to my room to rest and ready myself," he said.
"Yes boss," Vik spoke into the phone.

Sasha got to NYC and was greeted by her two best friends. They hugged they even cried. The tears though didn't last long as the girls went back into their usual banter. Martine, Marti, was her very outspoken friend. Guys always seemed to step up to her first. Could have been her hair or her figure but once she began talking they seemed kind of scared. It would take a strong man for her. Jeannie was a tad more quiet then them. Soft spoken but with a heart of gold. Guys were drawn to her eyes; they were a hazel of sorts that she envied. Both her friends were so similar to her and yet so different.
She on the other hand had flame red hair, sometimes in curls and other times as straight as could be. Her eyes were the color of emeralds she'd always been told. She never argued that fact. She wasn't too over the top but a sweet combination of both. Together the three of them got into trouble. All the good kind but the city just needed to watch out.
"So how was the flight Sasha?" asked Jeannie.
"Good, they played some funny movie. Made the time go buy," she said.
"I'm glad your here Red," Marti said.
Red was the nickname given to her in school and now it stuck. Whether it was from her hair or last name she didn't know. She liked it though. It was unique and solely hers.
"Me to Marti, me too. So I know you girls always have something planned. What's on tonight?"
"Well there's this club we have been going to, The Werehouse. There are some very hot men and great music. We wanted to take you but had to make sure you were cool with it," she said.
"Oh no, I could use a night out," Sasha said.
"Good then lets get to the house and you unpacked," said Jeannie.

Viktor Kassel was Ehrik's second. He knew the workings of the club better then anyone. He had security set up where they needed to be. He moved back up to the rooms the pack held. He let out a sigh when he saw a few mates walking together. He wanted that but had yet to find the one that would make him complete. So like his Alpha he waited. He went to his room and began to get ready for another night.
Ehrik lay in his bed thinking about the future of the pack. They had never had such a problem like they were dealing with. A group of Were decided to turn on humans. He hadn't been able to stop them or even talk to them before they took off. He had been lucky the two attacked hadn't died. They were injured and he'd managed to wipe their minds clean.
