The moon's reincarnation

The shift.

Chapter 2.

After finishing up our meal, I said goodbye to my friends and left the mall, the drive home was quite but I made the excuse of that I’m enjoying the music on my new iPod and pretended to rock out, when I’m realty I kept thinking about why I had to hide my wolf, it made no sense to me.

When we got home, I went straight up to my room put away my new clothes and got dressed into some track pants and a hoodie. After I went down to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water.

“where are you off to?” Conner asked

“Remember not a word about me" Mona said.

“Just going for a run, gotta keep fit” I said with a big smile while mentally eye-rolling my wolf. Damn I hate lying to him, I really wish I could tell him the truth but Mona insists that I can’t tell anyone, she told me in the car that we can’t do our first shift with my family as it would be to dangerous for them and for us, so I’m going to have to do this on my own and I’m honestly dreading not having the support and having to explain to my family why I didn’t wait to shift with them, also what am I going to say to the Alpha..

He chuckled.

“What?” I ask

“It’s just funny, you get to skip training today while waiting for your wolf but your still going to exercise, most people would use the day to relax and have fun, but nope. Not my little sister”

“Well I am the betas daughter, I have to keep fit if I want to become a worrier" I say which is not entirely a lie, worriers can’t slack off and have to stay in top shape at all times.

“This is true, it makes me a proud seeing how serious you are taking your future. Be safe on your run sis and don’t forget your party starts at 5.”

“Will do and I’ll be there, no need to worry, I can’t miss my own party now can I?”With that I leave the house running stright towards the forest, its time to shift.

I slowed down my pase as i got to the tree line. the forest is mesmerising, tall lush green trees stand strong on there trunks, different coloured bush's and flowers runing wild, claming the earth, this forest hasn't been touched by humans and humans will not venture it, to many wild animals for there likeing i reakon, or so they think.

This used to be the hunters land but there hasnt been any werewolf hunters in over 500 years, since the very first alpha claimed these lands as his. the story is he spent his life hunting and killing every single one, even there familys so there skills and knowledge of us wouldn't be handed down to generations and so we wouldn't get wiped out ourselves They say he was ruthless in his quest to save our kind in which I am thankful.

"Are you ready for this Amaris" Mona says in my head.

"As ready as I can be, but can you tell me why I have had to keep you a secret, i mean this is a pretty big thing and is supposed to be something to celebrate with our friends and family and not to mention the pain I am about to go though without any support, I would have liked abit of support and encouragement from my family, its also a proud moment for them and where about to take that away, not to mention the alpha specifically asked to be here to" I say to her in an annoyed voice.

"I will tell you all in good time but first we shift and what support and encouragement do you need when you have me, I understand that you are up set but how do I put this politely??. ohh yes, stop your sulking and lets get on with it, the sooner we shift the sooner i can tell you, the pain is only for this shift and it will be easier then you think, we are not like the others and that is why we have to do this alone, especially without the alphas presents." she says

"What do you mean where not like the others?"

"Look I'm sorry but we are waisting time, we need to shift now, i can scene the gards are patrolling and they must not see us, I promise you, you will understand my hast when we shift. please just trust me" Mona replied

I take in a big breath and say "You are my wolf of course I trust you it just sucks. so lets get this done"

This just doesn't feel right to me now, all excitement gone, I don't understand, this should be a fun and joyful time with my friends, family, pack and my wolf, this is not how imagined my first shift.

Walking over to a small clearing surrounded by trees and bush's I let my mind clear letting my wolf take over.

A burning pain stricks in my very core. I let out out a small yelp knowing if i scream i will alert the gards that i'm here but then the pain is gone, it was like something snapped and then disappeared.

my bones brake, popped and twisted in different angles but there is hardly any pain, it hurts but its bearable.

Long silky fur started to sprout from my skin and before i knew it I was a large white wolf, so white infect that there is almost a blue tinge like I'm glowing.

"woah, what the!" I thought.

before i could ask any questions we where off darting though the woods in such high speads I thought we might fly.

I have never felt such bliss, I feel free. I can see and hear everything, all of my senses are highed to a point i didn't think was possible its just simply amazing.

After an hour of running through the woods avoiding the guards I took control of my wolf and started walking back to where we shifted.

Half way there, the feeling of being watched returned, I lifted my snout to smell the air but I couldn’t smell anything un normal.

“Mona can you sense that?” I asked

“Yes something is tracking us down wind, we must hurry back! whatever it is, It’s no friend to us. as you can tell we are not your normal everyday wolf, we are special and that puts a target on our back. We must not be seen. I will explain more soon, now run!”

I start running back as fast as I could when suddenly a large black wolf stepped out of a clearing. I suddenly stopped “I know that wolf” I thought. Mona started fighting me for control but I held her back. “We can’t fight an Alpha Mona” I pleaded

“Speak for yourself It’s okay he won’t hurt us I just don’t like him!” she scoffed

“Amaris you must come with me” Alpha Gavin said though mind-link In a commanding tone.

I do not move while fighting my wolf to submit to our alpha.

“Do you want to get us killed he is our alpha submit!! why don’t you like him? You haven’t met him before? I mean he’s always given me the creeps by always watching me closer then the other pack members but that’s no reason not to like someone, he’s always been a respected Alpha.” I said to Mona

“I have my reasons and I do not submit to no Alpha.” She said

Grate I finally got my wolf and she’s going to get us killed!

“You can trust me Amaris, I am the last person who would ever hurt you, no one can know who you are yet so we must go now”

“You do not need to submit to me” The Alpha added clearly seeing the battle that I am having with my wolf.

“And you know who I am? How when I don’t even know myself” I replied though mind link.

“You don’t? Hasn’t your wolf told you?.. never mind, I do know who and what you are and I will tell you everything back at the pack house so please we must leave.” He turned and started walking in the direction of we’re I shifted and I followed.

Coming to the clearing, I gathered my clothes, picking them up with my jaws and went behind a tree to shift back into my human self.

Naturally wolfs are not afraid of seeing each other naked, it’s a pretty normal thing for us but I am feeling a bit self-conscious and did not want to be naked in front of the Alpha alone. If we were seen others might get the wrong idea, our alpha doesn’t just go on runs with just any pack member. He only usually goes with his second in command (my dad) for hunting or with the hole pack on the monthly pack run when the moon is at its peak.

He has never been on a one on one run with a normal pack member, not that it was the case but I would rather avoid any rumours, the she-wolfs would have a filed day.
