Her Mute Sister (Complete)

Chapter Six

Ambers POV

I was greatly enjoying the two jobs I had. The one I had on Tuesday and Thursday was at a different pack and they didn’t mind me working there. I was watching pups for parents while they went and had a few hours to themselves. My other job I was helping assist kids with their schoolwork. Sometimes the parent of the pups I would watch would give me a tip when they picked them up. At first I didn’t want to accept it but I was told its ok so eventually I did. The other one I didn’t get any tips and that's fine. I certainly enjoyed it and I came to realize that I wanted to have a job caring for children some day. I decided whenever I meet my mate I would let them know.

My birthday was going to be here in a few days and I was so nervous and kind of scared. I knew shifting for the first time was going to be super painful, but after the first few times it doesn’t hurt anymore. I also wanted to know what my wolfs name would be! I was told every wolf had their own name that would be different then mine. I also made sure to get my sister the nutrients she needed. The tips I was given I would use on her for things like vitamins and things she needs. She seems to be getting a bit better as each day goes on. No one has noticed though thankfully. I know vitamins aren’t enough to make up for being starved but it’s better than nothing.

“Amber honey, do you know what kind of cake you want?” My mother asked. I told her I would be happy with either chocolate or strawberry. I had already given her my birthday list a few months ago. I also had been getting better at finding healthy snacks for sale at the store so I could give Willow more food. No one in the pack knows that the snacks aren’t for me but are for Willow instead. Mainly because she’s lucky if they let her eat once a week if that. She also has gotten really good with signing to the point I don’t need to talk to her anymore. I also taught her how to read enough that she is at like a 3rd grade level which is pretty good considering she was never allowed to go to school. Time seemed to be going by rather quickly.

After waiting for it to be midnight I snuck downstairs to take care of Willow. I woke her up and we talked for a bit. She told me she had been reading the book I gave her and that she could read a whole page in an hour. I was proud of her and I let her know that. I then took the time to teach her a few more words to sign. I checked her over to see how she was doing. She wasn’t really gaining weight but she hadn’t lost any either. I figured I should maybe try to get her a little more food. I had to of course be careful because we don’t need to be in trouble either. She also showed me what she was working on with sewing. She showed me this beautiful dress she had been working on for the past month. She said it wouldn’t be done for a while since she would need more fabric. I told her I’d make sure she had enough thread for anything she needed. I even took it upon myself to get her some cotton filling to make comfortable pillows.

After an hour I went back upstairs and went to sleep.

I woke up the next morning and began my usual routine. I then realized that tomorrow would be my birthday and I’d get my wolf. I was really excited and decided I would go to Willows room a little early so I would be with her when I got my wolf. I had let Willow know a few days ago and she was more than okay with it. I was so happy because this also meant I would be able to find my mate as well, although I wouldn’t go with them until I turned 18 and finished high school.
