Suddenly A Luna Chapter 6

Brenna's POV

Feeling the need to do something besides stand awkwardly outside my apartment with Jax aka Mr. Hottie....I fumble with my keys, unlock the door and walk in with him trailing behind.

I watch him as he looks around my small apartment with a look of intrigue in his eyes. He seems out of place here. Though what 6 ft man with broad shoulders wouldn't in this tiny place? Though I have to admit I love that he is here with me. He still looks so good even though I know he couldn't have had much sleep either. His hair is even more disheveled then a few hours ago. Yet he is so yummy I have to fight the urge to touch him.

Looking away before he catches me I head to the coffee pot. Having something to focus on other then him will help calm my nerves and racing heart beat. After setting up the pot and hitting the power button I slowly turn back around only to be met with his intense eyes only a foot away from me.

He is watching me, with an indescribable look in his eyes. The silence in the room becomes extremely awkward. I can't help but blush at the way he is scrutinizing me.

"Brenna you need to talk to him and stop standing here like an i***t. Don't be nervous, he is our Mate, We are chosen for each other. He will protect us as we will him".

Kyra's words forcing me to break the silence I ask "Do you want some coffee?" He nods. I pour us both a cup, hand him his and then adding cream and a ton of sugar to mine.

Taking a tentative sip, I steel myself to ask the question I am dying to know the answer of.

"So Jax....why are you here? do you realize it's after 1 am?"

He shakes his head chuckling to himself. "Would you believe me if I told you I didn't want you to be alone on your 18th birthday?"

"Not really. We just met, had a one night stand and you brought me home. That's it. If you're feeling guilty, don't okay? I don't need anyone in my life out of guilt".

A look of shock crosses his face. He takes the last step to me, caressing my cheek and then holding my face so I can't look away.

"Brenna.... it wasn't a one night stand for me. I don't do one night stands. You are mine, and I am yours. We have all of eternity to get to know each other."

"You know nothing about me. None of this makes any sense. Between you, and the weird voice In my head I am exhausted, confused and just want to sleep until things make sense again."

Pulling out of his grasp I move to sit on my Grey sectional. It is way too big for this place but I love how comfortable and soft it is. Gulping down my coffee, I grab the TV remote and turn it on, not bothering to change the channel.

Jax is suddenly next to me, holding my hand in one of his. "Don't you feel drawn to me like I do towards you?" he asks me, his captivating blue eyes staring into my green ones.

"I do, but why? Between you and the voice in my head I am so overwhelmed. I don't understand what is happening to me This can't be normal".

"It is completely normal for us, for our kind."

"What do you mean our kind?" I ask exasperated.

Finally the look in his eyes changes from one of confusion to understanding. "You don't know what you are, what we are...do you?" I shake my head now as my only response. "We are werewolves, you and I are fated mates and the voice in your head is your wolf my love".

"So you're saying you and I change into big furry dogs during the full moon? Are we characters from a horror movie?" I say, really thinking he is crazy at this point.

"Not everything in movies are accurate. We do shift but we don't need a full moon to do it. Though the full moon helps increase our abilities." Jax says calmly as if he is talking about his favorite food.

"If that's true how come I have never shifted then?"

"That is simple enough love....You just turned 18 so you weren't able to shift until now. That's why I am here to help you. The first shift can be painful and I don't want you going through that alone. I will shift and that should help your wolf come out as well."

"Why would that help?" I can't believe I am actually starting to believe him. I really must be insane at this point.

"It would help because not only am I your mate, but I am an alpha. Having an alpha around for your first shift makes it so much easier for both you and your wolf. Now are we going to talk about this all night or do you want to meet your wolf and see you're not crazy?"

Internally I'm freaking out. He had to be crazy right? I mean how could werewolves exist and humans not know? I guess there's only one way to know for sure though... I'll either prove him wrong or find out the world is a much different place then I ever knew.

"I guess it doesn't hurt to try. Let's do it. Lead the way and show me what to do....I still don't completely believe you so this should be a quick experiment when neither of us change." I say not feeling confident at all.

Jax smirks as he turns for the door and I follow him back out of my apartment. We end up at the wood line behind my apartment building. We walk farther into the woods. Oh know he is going to kill me isn't he? I need to run but my body won't listen. I am so screwed.

He finally stops walking and disappears behind a tree. Oh great now he is leaving me out here by myself. What kind of sick joke is this? I am starting to panic until I hear that voice again.

"Calm down Brenna. You are safe. He would never hurt us. Breathe... Relax"

I do as Kyra says and take several deep breaths calming myself. Jax steps back out from where he disappeared but now he isn't wearing any clothes. "What in the actual f**k is going on right now?" I screech while I avoid looking in his direction

"We are shifting remember? We can't change with our clothes on. Unless you want to go back to your apartment naked. So what's it going to be Baby?" Jax says in my ear as I feel his breath tickle me.

I duck behind a tree of my own and strip my clothes off. Reluctantly walking back to where Jax stands as I try to cover my breasts.

He chuckles and its a beautiful sound. "Ready baby?" He asks.

I nod not trusting myself to talk right now.

He tries to explain some of it to me. "In order to shift you have to bring your wolf to the front of your mind. You will feel them in your mind. Imagine a cord and you tugging them closer to you. When that happens your wolf will take over but you will still see and hear everything that's happening."

"Right, okay let's do this". I watch Jax as he starts to shake and then his body starts to change shape before my eyes. His bones cracking. The sound alone reminds me of nails on a chalkboard. Within only a minute there is a massive all black wolf standing where Jax was. My jaw drops.

.

Fighting the urge to run I try and reach my wolf. "Kyra....You there?" Searching my mind I feel her presence instantly, reaching out I pull her to the surface.

She purrs in my head, stretching, ready to change into her true form. I feel a few minutes of pain so intense it drops me to the ground. I feel my bones breaking and cracking. The pain subsides as quickly as it came, when the shift ends.

Looking at Jax's wolf I realize Kyra seems to be about the same size. I want to see what we look like. Taking off deeper into the forest looking for water to use as a mirror. Jax is right next to me with every step. Keeping up easily.

Finally reaching a lake we slow down and approach it. Wow. our reflection looking back at us is a huge, red wolf with glowing green eyes. Looking up we see Jax's wolf staring at us in awe. Kyra and Jax rub against each other, scenting each other. They play chasing each other and pouncing then doing it again.

Suddenly Kyra offers her neck to Jax's wolf, Kyra informs me his name is Knight. He comes forward and bites down marking us as his. Then when he is done Kyra nudges Knight wanting access to his neck. Kyra bites down on Knight and seems very content having been marked by our Mate in wolf form".

I feel like I'm dreaming. How is this possible? This can't be real, right?

*What more proof do you need? Stop being in denial and accept the truth already*

Deep down I know Kyra is right. I've accepted the truth already or I wouldn't be here right now. I am terrified of change though and can't help the worry that creeps in at my future now. Will I have to quit my job? What if I get hurt, can I go to a human doctor?

*Stop it Brenna, just let us enjoy the moment. Change can be great ya know. Besides we won't be alone*

*You're right. Thanks kyra*

Choosing to take my wolf's advice, we run off happily, flicking our tail, as our mate chases after us.
