Charcoal Moon

"Why do you seclude yourself so much Keelin?

"You know very well why, dad." She sat perched on top of a hill overlooking the whole pack, her happy place. Anytime someone needed her this is where she was found, usually with paper and little stube of charcoal drawing away.

"You are so strong and beautiful, you should not hide yourself away so often." Dad said lifting my chin with a finger, he looked at me as if I were his very own flesh. Mom and Dad officially adopted me less than a week after dad found me in the forest, people always ask if I wonder about my birth parents. I don't, I hate them, who would abandon a tiny baby in the middle of winter to die? As much as I deny it that will always be a burning question in my mind.

"Why? I cant even train without hurting anyone, they are all to scared to spar with me." My chest burns knowing I will always be weird and different from any other wolf in my pack, hell I will never be like any wolf.

"Sweetie being different is not always a bad thing, plus Damon doesn't seem to mind!" He winked at me, everyone hopes we are to be mated, even Damon but I know the connection is not there.

"Ew dad" I shouted nudging his playfully. "We are nothing more than friends, plus he will be Alpha soon and find his mate then he will have no time for little ol' me." The thought of losing my one true friend made me bitter but it is the truth and I need to accept it.

"You will find you mate soon as well Kee, anyway dinner will be ready soon. Mom sent me to fetch you, don't make her wait."

"Yeah yeah I will be there soon" I waved him off, half lost in my own thoughts.

Like I will have a mate, I mentally scoff. I am so far from a normal wolf, with two sets of fangs on my top teeth that never retract. They get way bigger when im in my wolf form, then there is that! Im the size of a damn Alpha and being pure white with white eyes gets far more attention than I would like.

I can only train with Alphas and Betas or I risk seriously hurting someone, as soon as I can smell their blood I want to feel and taste the spray of their thick warm bl-

Nope no no no stop thinking like that Keelin its not normal JUST BE NORMAL! I sigh in frustration and make my way home before mom comes looking for me.
