The italics are either going to be her past or her thoughts ^^ and if they're in an italicized sentence but the word isn't in italics, or whatever, then I'm kind of emphasizing that word... Anyways, that's enough talk & on to the story. :P

~*~

        I was actually kind of stunned that my old "mate" would show his face around me again. Let alone what he did to me. When we were pups, we always made promises to each other and told each other everything. We had a sort of....young love, if you would. We vowed to each other that when we were either beta's and/or alpha's, we would get mated -- "married" -- but he betrayed me on that.

~~~~~~Past time~~~~~~

        One day, I came back from a battle with some of the other wolves. I was headed to the warriors den when one of the main alpha's came up to me.

        "The elders wish to speak with you," this alpha's name is Zac. I've known him ever since I learned how to hunt. He taught me.

        "Why do the elders wish to speak with me?"

        "I do not know. Just follow me." So I did.

        When we walked into the elder's den, I saw my "mate" Aaron with them. I sensed something was wrong, or else Aaron wouldn't be there, too.

        "Zac said you wished to speak with me?"

       "Yes, it's very important," said the elder Faustus as Aaron glances at me then looks away. Strange, I thought,"We heard from a certain Alpha that you went to yet, another battle against our wishes," Faustus glares at me.

        "You know I couldn't resist going into battle. Especially when we're fighting other wolves from different packs. They are trying to take our terri'try since our pack's the largest, for cryin' out loud!" I could hear my voice rising to almost a shout.

        "We understand the situation. But you were given strict orders to stay in the camp to help tend to the wounded wolves," the elder Vorador speaks to me kindly.

        "So.... Are you going to punish me then?"

        "More than punishing you." Faustus smirks.

        "We are sentencing you to....Exile." Vorador says with sadness in his eyes.

        I look towards Aaron,"Did you know about this?" He nods. "And I'm guessing you were the one that told them I went to battle, too?"

        He hesitates before nodding again. He looks to the ground beneath his paws.

        "After all we've been through? You betray me like this!?"

        "Akira--" Aaron began.

        "No! Don't speak my name in my presence. Never. You.... You are a traitor to me, Aaron! How can I ever forgive you!?"

        And that was that. After I ran out on them to live on my own, we never saw each other again.

        Until now.

        ~~~~~~Present time~~~~~~

        "I should just rip your throat out right here and now!" I growl.

        "Please just hear me out, Akira," he pleaded.

        "That's not my name anymore."

        "Then, what is?" He asked.

        "I......don't know, yet." I look away.

        "Okay, then I'm going to keep calling you by your "old" name."

        "Fine, what do you want?"

        Aaron hesitates,"We need you to come back to the pack."
