Everytime you miss him remember all the dates he never took you on and how he kept you waiting until well after the sun had risen. Recall the times he never listened to you, the way he judged you, the flowers he never gave you and the attention he never offered while you ached inside for more. that love he never gave you, the respect he ripped from you, the self-esteem he tried to rob you of and the decency he never had to simply just tell you that you're not the one for him when he meets his mate. This is why our pack, The New Moon pack is gathering here today. To speak about how WE DESERVE MORE. When she spoke a fire ignited in all of us who had been tossed aside. Her emerald eyes glinted copper as she finally spoke her truth. Our truth. Chosen mating was forbidden In our pack, we were expected to wait alone until and IF we ever met our true mate. While this WAS a path we had chosen and not one forced upon us it did get lonely. The summit gathered around the lakeside with Alpha Morrigan and slowly peeled their clothing off as they prepared to shift, not wanting to ruin them. This was a ritual we had become accustomed to, and the bare skin around me no longer made me feel awkward. Alpha Morrigan was smart, she sensed our loneliness and brought a different type of closeness to our group, one of bare honesty. It was truly refreshing when we got together and it almost made us feel whole again. too bad it didn't last. My wolf Katya howled happily as my hands shifted to claws big enough to slice most enemies in half. As I shifted I recalled my necklace at the last moment and howled again, this time in sorrow that I had forgotten to remove my most precious item. It was too late, it lay in pieces underneath my red and black fur. After this things blurred past me, I had no time to grieve. I was one with the world and the loss seemed irrelevant right now. I had Katya to comfort me and the world underneath my paws and I ran as far as my wolf could go.
