Walking into town was a bad idea, I had a feeling something like this would happen. Shit like this always happens to me.

It didn’t matter that I had the Alphas letter, saying I could pass through without any trouble, in my knapsack.

No, these Weres simply smelt a rogue and decided to fuck my day up. I didn’t even get a chance to finish my shot before I could smell the change in the room. A change I learned over the years, was the smell of my kind.

Werewolves, or so Hollywood and fairytales called us.

I never really hung round a pack long enough to find out what they referred to themselves as. As far as I was concerned, you get in long enough to get out. I wasn’t planning on staying in this shit hole of a town for long, maybe a day or two.

I like my freedom and after 17 years of living in that cage, I broke free. No one was going to do that to me again, I would die before I let anyone or anything do those things to me.

These last two years have been heaven, being on my own. I’ve learned how to take care of myself. I wasn’t the same scared little girl I was back before the incident, hell, I was tougher than most male rogues.

The last rogue who thought he could ‘play’ with me ended up with one less nut than he had to begin with. I don’t take kindly to others messing with me, especially when all they want is to get into my pants, anyway they see fit to do so. He had it coming, when a lady says no, she means no!

Not that I’m much of a lady, but you get my point.

So it was because of my past experiences that I didn’t fancy the small group making a head towards me at the moment. I could see it in their eyes, their hate or disapproval for me. I was a rogue -the savage- who would try and slaughter them in their sleep at first chance.

They weren’t completely wrong, but I didn’t fancy killing for the fun of it. In fact, I hated it. I still remember my first, but that was a long time coming, and there was no way I was letting him walk away from that.

“You know what we do to rogues who cross without permission?”

A voice interrupted my thoughts as a large hand came round by lower back. Good plan of attack, I thought to myself. There were still humans here and I doubt very much they knew about the Weres. He had to play this stealthy, friendly even.

“You should really be more concerned about what a rogue will do to you.”

Still staring straight ahead, looking at the numerous bottles of alcohol lining the shelves. A small smirk playing on my lips at the thought of his hand so close to me, how easy it will be to grab him and bash his head into the counter top.

The sound alone of his bones breaking would be worth the fight, I was sure, I would have with the others when they came to his aid. Three of them all together, I would be lucky if I could take down the beta first.

With him out, the rest would be worthless. He was the biggest, the power coming off him was strong but not like that of an Alpha. If I could take him the others wouldn’t be an issue.

Calling my bluff, one of the others laughed and spoke with distaste lacing his voice.

“The little girl wants a fight, Dev. I say we give it to her. Teach her to respect a pack.”

His words filled me with rage….respect? He demands respect yet gives none in return. This was one thing I hated about packs, they always thought they were better than rogues but never took the time to find out why some of us lived this way.

Some were forced, some ran, and some just didn’t want to be ruled over. We each had our reasons but no pack I’ve come across cared to ask why.

Not that I would tell them my reasons, it was personal and of no importance to them. But others I had wondered upon had wanted the chance to tell their story, to ask to join another pack. They needed that life, I didn’t. I didn’t want it.

“This little girl should warn you, she doesn’t fight fair and she most certainly doesn’t back down.”

Turning to face the jackass that called me out, his eyes widened but he quickly recovered. Sneering at me, like that would do anything.

“Get the bitch and let’s finish this, Devin. I will not be disrespected on my own land.”

I could tell the beta was all for it, but something was holding him back. I could see the inner conflict in his eyes as he looked at his pack mates and back to me.

“You sure talk a lot for someone with no power in the pack.”

I eyed him up and down, he wasn’t big enough to be a fighter, maybe a runner. But I knew once it came to that fight, I would take him out quickly. He was no match for me.

“You fucking bitc-”

“Shut it John.”

The beta finally chose to speak up. He looked me over a few times as if assessing what I would do if provoked. In the end I could tell he thought me a weak rogue, being a female, and probably lacking any good fighting skills.

His mistake.

“Leave now and I won’t let them take you out back.”

His words were meant to be harsh, but concern also joined the mix. He didn’t like the thought of hurting, let alone killing, a female. Again, his mistake.

“Thanks slick, but I think I’ll hang round for bit. I’m really enjoying the company this pub has to offer.”

Before I could reach for my drink a hand shot out and gripped my wrist.

“I said leave now!”

“You have three seconds to let go of me,”

Stupid beta, stupid men, they always have to try and be the badass.

“Or you’ll what? No one will help you here.”

Smirking, I rolled my fist inward, effectively breaking his grip on me. Without a second thought I reached out and took hold of his fist. Twisting it until I could feel the muscle shake from the tension.

“Now who said I need any help?”

Putting just enough force in my twist to snap the bone, I could see the beta biting his tongue to hold in the scream that was threatening to come out.

“EVERY ONE OUT!”

A large voice boomed throughout the small pub, shivers ran down my spine as the power coming from the command was enough to have me wanting to get up and walk out. It was an odd sensation for me, one I wasn’t use to, but I wasn’t one to let go of the bone…pun intended.

Smirking I turned to face the Alpha that had joined us.

My smirk didn’t last long. The moment I saw him it was as if I was frozen in my spot. I couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe, I could only stand there and stare at this man.

He was tan, tall, maybe 6’1…built like a rock. His dark jeans hung low, hugging his thick, muscular thighs. Even through his lose fitted tee I could see the outline of his abs, the pair pecks that threatened to rip the material, and let us not forget the massive biceps I desperately wanted to run my hands over.

He was beyond fit and I wanted nothing more than to let my hands and lips explore his body further….making my way up to a pair of soft, pouty lips. As he ran his tongue over the bottom before pulling the corner between his perfectly straight teeth, I could feel every single muscle in my stomach clench.

His prefect nose was sharp but nowhere near as sharp as his cheek bones and jaw. Everything chiseled and defined, even his hair was perfect. Buzzed sides but a little tuff at the top, just enough to run my fingers through or latch on to while his tongue played between my thighs.

I mentally slapped myself when I got to his eyes, I could see an equal amount of lust fill his gorgeous, chocolate brown orbs. Yet, there was something else in his eyes, something I didn’t recognize and that was what finally brought me back to reality.

Never had I thought of a man the way I had just now, but seeing the want and need in his eyes for me was too much. I didn’t want anyone to ever look at me like that again. So pushing down the desire to run to him, to let his arms wrap around me, to let him have his way with me, I let go of his beta’s hand I hadn’t realized I was still holding.

“Not so mouthy now are you, bitch.”

I heard the weakling John spit just as a loud growl sounded throughout the room.

“Speak to her again, John, and I will rip out your tongue.”

The Alpha’s voice was thick, smooth and deep. The tingles that spread over my body doubled as goose bumps rose. I was thankful for the long sleeve bella sweater I was wearing, though, I doubt they appreciated the giant pair of parted ruby red lips with fangs coming out that was printed on the cotton fabric.

Jax had given it to me before I left him a few months ago, he knew I was never one to stay in a place for too long, and that was his friendly parting gift.

“Something to remember me by, Texas.”

How I could forget my only friend, who yes, happens to be a vamp, was lost to me. But I chalked it up and laughed at his playfulness when he presented me with this…reminder.

“Alpha, she’s trespassing! Not to mention she’s one rude little cunt!”

John mumbled that last bit but didn’t get a chance to say much more since I spun around and before I knew what I was doing, I backhanded him with such a force he toppled over the barstool and onto his ass.

“Call me a cunt one more time and your Alpha won’t have to time to rip out your tongue before I do!”

Unclenching my jaws, I turned back to face the Alpha. I knew it was a huge no-no to physically attack a pack member but this ass had it coming.

“Do you always greet your guest in such a manner?”

Still blinded by fury, I snapped at him. Everything in me was telling me to shut the fuck up and beg for forgiveness but that really wasn’t my style and I had, had prior permission to come within their territory.

Not waiting for an answer I grabbed my knapsack and pulled out the letter I had received weeks before. Throwing it at the Alpha, I laced up my bag and made way to side step him. Of course, he wouldn’t allow it as his hand shot forward, blocking my only way out.

“You’re Dallas?!”

The shock in his voice confirming that he was clearly expecting me to be a man by the way he eyed my body once again.

“Thank you for the welcome Alpha Daniels, I’ll be on my way now.”

I sneered at him as I ducked under his arm and made my way to the door. I was halfway there when the room filled with a collective gasp before a line of well build lads blocked the entrance of the pub.

I was trapped.
