The Luna's Gift

Hello My Wolf

I woke up after a horrible nights sleep, I was anxious and restless because I knew today was such an important day. My wolf was going to come forward, I would shift tonight for the first time and I might meet my destined mate. Thats a lot for one day. I sat up in bed and realize my head is throbbing, it feels like someone is beating it from the inside out. I instantly get nauseous as I realize my wolf is trying to come forward, I try to relax my mind and let it happen.

My parents explained the process so I try to stay calm and let instincts take over. "FINALLY" someone shouts. "Do you know whats its like to be trapped for 18 years, sitting on the sidelines waiting to break free!?" "Uhhh, hello nice to meet you too", I retort. Of course my wolf is going to be sassy, she is going to be everything im not, I roll my eyes."Sorry for the outburts its just been exhausting, my name is Esme, its nice to finally meet you Ayla. I have so much to teach you about us, but well save that for later." "What do you mean teach me about us", I questioned. "Ayla, there is much you do not know about us, but you will know soon, when we shift tonight you will see" Of course shes not going to let on to anything now.

I can say gaining my wolf I feel much more sharp, colors are brighter and I can hear kids playing outside the pack house when I couldn't before, my senses feel muc more intense. I tuck Esme into the back of my mind and get up and get ready for the day to head down to eat, Im sure my mother had made my favorite breakfast. As soon as I opened my door I could smell the sweet syrup and french toast waiting for me with bacon and eggs. My mouth waters as I get to kitchen, Dad is sitting at the table drinking coffee as mom finishes up cooking. I take my seat as Levi strolls in to sit across from me. "Happy birthday sweetie," mom says as she sets a heaping plate of fresh french toast down. "Thank you mama, I already met my wolf she was eager I guess." My dad snaps his head up from the paper he was reading, "Ayla did she tell you her name?" His eyes seem a little wild with curiosity. "Yeah of course, her name is Esme, its beautiful isnt it?"

My parents look at each other quickly, shocked, but look away just as fast and continue like nothing happened. "Mom, Dad, whats going on? I feel like theres something happening here." My father shakes his head, Levi stacks his plate high not even paying attention and starts eating. "I guess now is better than ever, dad says. Eat your breakfast and us three will talk in my office afterwards." My mom gives me a smile, she seems worried but tries to hide her emotion as she eats. What is happening?
