My Irreplaceable Luna

Chapter 2, Meeting Ava

Anna's POV

I had trouble sleeping last night as my body became more nervous, I had to shower twice before I could sleep but I woke up like every other day. On a norm I should be celebrated as a member of the elite family but then who am I? I remembered when my sister turned 18 three years ago, it was a huge ceremony with lots of flowers and beautiful decorations and I wished I could get such treatment even if it's just once in my life time.

I got up from my flat foam that lay on the floor without a bed covering and placed the foam on the wall. It was an everyday routine that I've gotten so used to since I was little. I washed my face and brushed my mouth before heading to the kitchen hurriedly because Tricia would soon need her morning tea. While I made the tea I realized my heart beat was unusually faster and I wished my mother was alive to teach me all I needed to know. I did not understand what was happening to me and why I felt so nervous. At first I thought it was the transition that will happen tonight but it wasn't it.

I had managed to make the tea and hurried to Tricia's room to serve her. I had to wait till she was comfortable to open the door for me. Anna took a deep breath, steeling herself for the conversation she knew would be difficult. Her sister, known for her harsh and uncaring demeanor, sat across from her with a skeptical expression.

Anna: "I need to talk to you about something important, sis."

Tricia: Rolls eyes "What now, Anna? Can't you see I have better things to do?"

Anna: "It's about my wolf transition."

Tricia: Scoffs "Your what? Are you making up more fantasies to get attention? You have no wolf Anna"

Anna: But .... I've been having this weird feelings inside of me since yesterday .

"Tricia: Laughs mockingly "You've got to be kidding me. Are you just stupid or you're dumb?" Just leave my room before you ruin my mood.

I left hurriedly to my room, talking with her was a waste of time but I felt she could just have a little sympathy and help me go through this since she has transitioned. Miguel would have been my first option but he's in training so barely around.

Standing in front of the mirror, I was lost in my thoughts, contemplating the changes and challenges that lay ahead. The reflection staring back at me seemed familiar yet different, as if a part of me was yearning to break free.As I traced the contours of my face, a sudden rustle of leaves outside caught my attention. It was a whisper carried on the wind, a soft utterance that sent a shiver down my spine.

"Anna," the voice called, gentle yet unmistakable.My heart skipped a beat as I turned towards the window, half expecting to see a familiar figure. But there was none.

"Anna," the voice echoed again, this time from within me, resonating with a primal energy that stirred something deep within my soul.I took a step closer to the mirror, meeting my own gaze with newfound curiosity and understanding. It was then that I realized—the voice I heard was not just a sound carried by the wind, but the voice of my wolf, my name is Ava, your wolf she added.

In that moment of connection, I felt a surge of emotion—awe, wonder, and a sense of belonging. Ava was not just a companion; she was a part of me, a reflection of my true self yearning to be heard and acknowledged.As I whispered her name in return, a bond formed between us, transcending the barriers of human and wolf. It was a moment of awakening, of recognizing and embracing the wild spirit that resided within me.

I was still in shock when I whispered her name, Ava? Yes it's me, she replied. All my life I have been alone but not anymore, I have waited my whole life for this day and tonight I'll finally meet her face to face.
