Chapter 1

• Prologue
• "Tag you're it, Winter, catch me if you can," Donovan said, sticking his tongue at me as he ran further ahead.
• I ran after Donovan immediately, which I almost had him until I tripped over a rock and landed on my face in some mud.
• "Winter, you look like a monster with all that mud on your face," Donovan replied with a chuckle.
• I responded, "You sure talk so much trash, to be twelve."
• "Just because you the oldest does not mean you get to bully me."
• "Let’s race, the first one to make it to that tree wins” I pointed to the tree.
• “Ok Winter, how about we place a bet? You get to do all my chores for a month if I win, including my homework,” Donovan said.
• “Ok Donovan, you’re on, but if I win, you have to do anything I’ll tell you to do.
• “Deal” Donovan shouted.
• “Ok, let's get into the running position.” As soon as we were ready, I began to count. “Ok, on the count of three, one, two, three, go” off we go, Donovan taking the lead, I caught up with Donovan. He gave me a look of shock, which I accepted, giving him a smirk running past him. I was the first to make it to the tree; Donovan came from behind.
• “Ok sis, a deal is a deal; what do I have to do?” Donovan ask.
• When I was about to say something, I heard a twig snap that alerted Donovan and me. Two tall men came out from the brushes out of nowhere. I grab Donovan placing him behind me.
• I ask, “who are you, and what do you want?”
• One man walked forward to speak, “We are here for you, Winter.” The man said.
• “How do you know my name?”
• “It’s not important; you will be coming with us.”
• “I’m not going anywhere with you two,”
• “Donovan, I will distract these two; I want you to run and get help,” I whisper.
• “Ok, sis”
• I turn back to the two men; Both men seem to see their eyes were clouded, I told Donovan to run as fast as possible. Donovan wasted no time as he ran fast, passing them; when the men's eyes went back to normal, he noticed that Donovan was gone.
• “I advise you two to leave before my dad comes here and rip you two to pieces.”
• Both men smirked. “You have no idea at all, do you?” the man with the scar on hisw face said.
• “What the hell are you talking about?”
• “You will find out,” The other man said, walking towards me. Grab my arm lifted me by placing me over his right shoulder; I begin to kick, and scream, as we was heading to my yard. I kick the man in his chest, he loosened up his grip on me and Ibroke free, running to the front, and ran straight to my dad.
• “Dad, help, some men are after me,” I told him with tears coming from my eyes while embracing him. When I pulled away; I looked into his eyes, showing emptiness and disgust which confused me.
• “Dad, what’s going on?” I ask feeling scare.
• “I have sold you, my child, to another Alpha; you are no longer a pack member.” He said with no emotion.
• “You cannot be serious; why would you sell me off?” I ask with more tears coming out of my eyes.
• “Because our pack is a male dominant, and you know that its tradition that the Alpha’s firstborn had always been a male. Since you are my firstborn, I supposed to hand the title over to you, females are weak. And I will not let you disgrace this pack.
• I pleaded, “Daddy please, if that all you are worried about, then we can lie; Donovan can take over as planned because my mate made be at another pack, so it’s a win situation, everyone happy no one outside the pack will have to know.
• “That’s the point Winter, I will know and soon people will talk, and I’m not going to risk that; take her away, boys.” My father said.
• Immediately the men grabbed me, and I could not break loose. I looked my my dad again I retorted “ If you care so much about your reputation than why not give me up at birth?”
• “ Cause your mother wanted you, I on the other hand did not. I only kept you around long enough so I could sell you, trust me you was worth every penny” He said with a smirk.
• I took one look into my father eyes and said.“I hate you, you selfish bastard, I hope that we never cross paths in the future if we do, I will kill you” I said, walking off. As we exit I say the words I never thought I will say “I Winter Beloved Cheshire, cut all ties with The Cheshire Husk pack.”
