I went upstairs and crashed on my bed. I'm laying there about to go to sleep when suddenly Elsa starts talking to me, telling me not to sleep for too long, because we will be shifting soon. I'm so tired from my party. "Well, you're the one who wanted to party all night knowing that we needed to shift." As you know, shifting for the first time is very painful and we need to start early. Yes, I know that, but couldn't it wait until tomorrow? "Nope, we must shift now today has to be the day that we have to do it."
I had slept for a little while, then Elsa some me up telling me that it was time. We head downstairs out the backdoor heading to the forest. When I looked up I could see lightning and thunder erupting through the sky. This is great, it is already raining. "We will be fine as long as you are not afraid." I'm not afraid of thunder and lightning.We are in the middle of the forest and I take my clothes off. Now concentrate and envision yourself as a wolf. I am concentrating, then suddenly I feel my bones start to crack. I bend over feeling agonizing pain going through me. I'm starting to feel my spine sprout with fur, then my face starts to elongate, as well as my arms and legs begin to become furry. I am in so much pain that I didn't even know that Cameron, my best friend, was there making sure that I would not go through my first time shifting process alone.CameronWhile I was driving home and listening to my music and watching the rain come down. After I helped my mate's parents clean up from her birthday party. It had been a while since it rained too, which would be good for us since we needed the rain. I'm driving by the forest which is on the way home. All of a sudden I hear a scream. My Wolf Brice has been alerted to this as well. He says to me it sounds like mate. Then I thought about it and that is when I realized that she's going through her first shift, but why is she doing it alone? I said to myself.Brice says we must go and help mate. I stopped the car and run into the forest and there she was in the middle of it, agonizing in pain trying to shift. I knelt and rubbed her back and that seemed to ease the pain. She continues as her face starts to elongate, then her arms and legs are covered with fur. Then her hands start turning into claws. After that Cailee is on all fours and she is the most beautiful creature I saw. Her fur was red with a white streak going down her back the right side of her back. "I'm looking at Cameron and asking him what is wrong." I'm just speechless, your wolf is beautiful. Go look in the small pond and see for yourself. Going over to look in the pond and I gasped. Oh my goodness, I say you're gorgeous, Elsa. No, she says we are gorgeous and with that, I walk away from the pond as I was starting to shift back and that is when I almost collapsed, but was caught by Cameron. He picks me up and carries me. I tell him you smell nice. "What do I smell like?" You smell like musk and pinewood. That is when Cailee closed her eyes to sleep.By the time we came out of the forest, it was almost dawn. I looked and said that I needed to get back to my parents. Don't worry I will give you a ride home, Cameron says. "There's no way I am letting you walk after you just had your first shift." Besides, it is still raining, your parents would hurt me if I wasn't a proper gentleman. I headed to my car with Cailee in my arms, she smelled so good and felt right. Brice loved the idea of having our mate so close to us. I opened the passenger door and put her in the seat and buckled her in as she was too tired from shifting. We drove the ten miles back to her house while she was sleeping her head against the window. I looked over at her and knew she was the most beautiful mate for me even if she didn't know it yet. I have a feeling that Cailee will know I'm here may soon enough. Right now I know you're tired so you just need to rest. The next thing she knows is we are parked in her driveway. She had finally woken up and told me thank you and was opening the door and before she knew it she tripped again for the second time but fell right into my arms. I had this look in his eyes, then she blushed a little while he was looking at me. "I ask her if she is alright?" Yes, I think that I'm just still a little woozy from shifting. Thanks for being there and not letting me fall flat on my face, you're welcome I said. Well, I better get inside before my parents wake up. "I think it may be too late for that as he is looking in the direction of my parents standing on the porch." Her parents noticed that it was me who brought Cailee home and they bowed their heads in respect. "Sorry, Cameron, we didn't notice that it was you that brought her home." Cailee walked towards her parents and the door was wide open. She had turned around to wave to me, then told me that she will see me at school.It's alright I just helped her with her first shift. Oh my goodness you shifted sweetie, my mom says. Then why didn't you come and get one of us if you were going to shift? Well, I didn't want to wake you up because I knew you were both tired from the party and taking care of Stephen. With that, I drove back to the pack house.CaileeI'm going to go upstairs and rest now. "Alright, honey, you go and rest, but we want to see your wolf later on okay?" Yes, Dad, I say after I rest for a bit. Once I get into my room and see my bed, plop face down and I was off to dreamland. Before, I knew it my mom was calling me for dinner. Honey wake up you need to eat after that shifting you did you need your energy. Okay, Mom, I'm up I will be coming down for dinner in a few minutes. Going into the bathroom, I wash up and do my business. Taking a glimpse in the mirror I see that the rest has done us some good don't you think so Elsa? "Yes, I do now, can we go downstairs? I'm famished. So I headed downstairs smelling the aroma of delicious food. What did you make for dinner? Oh just your favorites she says, I look around and there's lasagna, mixed vegetables, Broccoli with cheese, steak, spaghetti, chicken, and turkey. Along with mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Then there was soda, juice, and water to drink. My stomach started growling at the sight of it. I don't know if you know by now that once a person shift's into their wolf. It tends to drain your energy. So they need to eat a lot of food to sustain that energy.After dinner we would love to see your wolf sweetie, my mom says. Or would you prefer to wait until you have had more rest my dad asked. No, it's fine I can show you after we eat. At that moment I just dug in and moaned at the deliciousness of the food. Do you think that Cameron may be your mate? My mom asked.Flashback continuedI was sitting there breathing through my contractions and as I was doing that I heard some leaves crunching. Of course, I couldn't do anything since I was in labor and I thought it was rogues coming to terrify me. But it wasn't it was a witch that I smelled. She came closer to the tree that I am sitting up against and breathing. Hello there, it looks like you're going to give birth to your pups soon. My name is Sylvia, and I was walking along and heard you screaming, I just growled at her because she was a witch. Oh, I am not going to hurt you, just going to help you. I have two pups and they are girls. Some witches tend to be good or evil, but I wasn't sure about this one, she didn't seem good or evil. I wasn't due for another month, but my babies had other plans. While Sylvia is coaching me through my breathing as each contraction gets closer. That is when I hear my mate Samuel coming, mind-linking me that he is almost here. In no less than five minutes, he's he
Eric, Aaron and I were searching through the library archives to find out what we can about this rare wolf. Now in majority of the packs that around some turn out to be black or brown. It is a rare occasion that one of our wolves would be red. I mean I even heard of a white wolf and blue wolf being in packs. To us this is definitely rare for us to see. We had searched high and low through all the bookshelves to explain to us the meaning of a red wolf. We had just about giving up hope when I saw the last bookshelf and there was a hard cover book, but what was sticking out was a scroll from our ancestors.I opened up the scroll and told Eric and Aaron that I have found what we were looking for. They both breathed a sigh of relief. Now what does the scroll tell us. I don't know I said, but it seems to be in Greek. Let's see if we can't translate it Aaron says. Ah yes, it seems to say that legend has it that in several hundred years or so that there will be a red wolf in a pack. This wolf
Once Sylvia was out of plain sight and carrying the little pup and she can no longer see them. That is when she started heading towards Alpha Israel and Luna Isabelle. On the way the pup was crying, there there now, you will see, it will do some good for Luna Isabelle to have a special child like you. You my dear child will not give the Alpha and Luna any problems will you. The pup just looked at her while sucking her thumb. They were a few feet away from the pack house, before the guards stopped her. What is your purpose here witch? Please I need to speak with the Alpha and Luna. I have a gift for them which may help with the Luna's depressed state. The guard mind-linked the Alpha telling him that the witch Sylvia was here and had something for the Luna. Alright let her through the Alpha said, and stand guard outside the by the door in case anything happens. Yes Alpha, the guard took the witch to see the Alpha. Once the guard arrived at the door to let Sylvia in soon the Alpha asked
The pack must not know yetWhen Chad and Caya arrived home they sat in their car for a minute thinking about if they should tell Cailee how her red wolf is rare. Then Chad turned to her and said we will not tell Cailee anything until we know what or how her Wolf came about. Alright, but you know she is going to find out eventually. You know I hate keeping secrets from our daughter. I know, but until we hear from the Elders we must not say a word of it to her. Then once we find out what this means then maybe we can talk about it. They both went inside and we're happy to be home that they didn't even know that Cailee had eavesdropped on their conversation while still sitting in the car. Ahem, my parents opened their eyes and saw me standing there with facial expression somewhat sour. So, do you want to tell me what the Alpha said? Honey, it is best if we just keep this under wraps for now. We just don't know anything yet and we have to wait until we hear back from the Elders.That is ju
The next day was the meeting at the pack house to discuss about my rare red wolf and supposedly we had some sort of powers as well. Before the afternoon hits we gather in the car and are on our way to see Alpha Israel and the Elders. It takes us about twenty minutes to arrive and my dad let's the guards know that the Alpha is expecting us.The guard mind-linked the Alpha letting him know that we have arrived. Then he lets us through and we are on our way. Now to tell you that the Alpha's is nice would be an understatement. It wasn't a mansion or anything like that, but it still was a decent size.Beta Carlos had greeted us at the door and we bowed out head in submission. Beta Carlos had taken us to the Alpha's Office come in he said and we're greeted by him, Luna Isabelle and the Elders and also bowed out head to them. After that the Alpha told us to have a seat then everyone was silent for a bit.Shall we get down to business and the reason why we are here said Alpha Israel. Um yes, E
After returning to my human form they still wanted to speak with Elsa. I was about to return my eyes to normal color when they said that. So, I decided to have my wolf come forward and talk. One of the Elders were looking at my eyes. Oh my goodness look at her eyes they have gold orbs around them Elder Eric said. Do you like my eyes Eric, he was stunned that Elsa could talk. Hello Elsa I'm Alpha Israel. I know who you are Elsa says. Oh you do how do you know who I am? I know who you are because I have been watching you and I have to say your pack has flourished in sometime sense I came here. How could you of been watching me when you are in human form? Oh my sweet Alpha there is so much you don't know about. Hello to you too Luna Isabelle, Beta Carlos, Elders Eric, Aaron and Matthew.Now that the pleasantries are out of the way home may I help you? We were wondering why you would show up before the Harvest Moon? Before, I answer that question is there any food? Yes, of course where are
When we got back home everyone was pretty much exhausted. My baby brother Stephen was already asleep and my mom put him in his bed for a nap. I on the other hand went to the kitchen to grabbed some grapes from the refrigerator for my snack and drank some water. I spoke to Elsa and asked her how did you feel about meeting Alpha Israel? He is very good to his family and is a great Alpha. Looks like that he has seen many things from the time when he was young to him being an Alpha. Yes, he has experienced great many things I told her.At the point my mom comes into the kitchen. Were you talking with Elsa just now? Yes, I was mom and what did she say? Well she was quite impressed with Alpha Israel and said that he must of have seen a lot of things while he was growing up. Oh yes he has for sure indeed she said. Chad we are going to have to tell Cailee at some point about her twin sister that died. They didn't know it, but I was eavesdropping on their conversation. I know honey my dad had s
CaileeIt was the weekend and I wanted answers from my parents after having that dream of the Moon Goddess Selene. I wonder if what the Moon Goddess said was true, to Elsa. It has to be true or else she would not have said it. Do you think that I may have an identical twin out there that didn't die? I believe so, Elsa said. I hope my parents tell me what happened. After all, I have a right to know, don't you think? Of course, you do Cailee. It is not right for parents to keep secrets from their children, even if they think that they are protecting you.I got up from my bed, went to the bathroom and washed up, and then headed downstairs. I went into the kitchen and everyone was at the table already eating. The food looks good mom, thank you, she says. I'm sitting there eating and asking Elsa if I should bring the subject up of possibly having a twin sister. I would allude to it, she says. They have been keeping this from you for the last eighteen years.I'm sitting there daydreaming of
