The Rebirth

CHAPTER THREE

TALIA’S POV

My mouth suddenly went dry, I had to swallow multiple times to bring back moisture into it.

My brain and my eyes were at war, my brain was thinking of a way to get out of this mess unscathed while my eyes kept ogling.

Let's not even get started about my wolf who kept purring incessantly.

Mate! she seemed excited.

Finally, I was going crazy, that's the only explanation I could give, because how else can I explain all these.

A knock interrupted the moment and someone popped their head in.

It was Marcus, our Beta and currently he was looking between Mathias and I in confusion.

It was at that instance my brain won the war, I dashed out of the place like a thief and didn't stop running till I got home, opened the door and locked it behind me, panting hard as I rested by back against it.

What just happened?

I asked myself in utter disbelief.

"How am I going to survive this!"

I cried out loud in disbelief dropping down on the couch and supporting my head between both hands.

I felt so ashamed and yet giddy.

If anyone had told me before today that I would burst in on the Alpha, naked in his room I would have laughed it off.

But here I am hiding away like a coward not wanting to run into my Alpha or his Beta.

The clock chimed, bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see it was nine o'clock already!

Wow! That was fast, I better start getting ready.

I’ve never missed the gathering once and I'm not going to miss it today either, psyching myself up, I went to my room to dress up.

"We have a party to attend!"

Yes, we do. my wolf affirmed happily.

I wore my dress, applied a little make-up to accentuate my blue eyes and let my curly red hair down.

I looked pretty, admiring myself in the mirror, I dabbed on little powder on my face, adjusted the strap of my purple dress, psyched myself up for the party and left.

**************************************************

The party was in high drive and at different stages of decadence, horny wolves here and there mingling together, guzzling down drinks in careless abandon.

We can't get drunk, since our metabolism is too high for that but yes, we can get tipsy.

Some were dancing and kissing, hands wandering all over their partners body seductively as they gyrated to the music.

While others were already half naked and fast on their way to making new pups.

Wolves are naturally sensual creatures, so all these was the norm for everyone but me.

I tried not to gawk too much as I found myself a dark corner to sip gently on the wine, I had picked off a table, since I had no friends to chat with nor lover to get romantically involved with.

I smiled sadly at the thought and sighed as I took another sip.

The master of ceremonies who is our Beta, Marcus climbed the makeshift podium and called for everyone’s attention.

“This night is the night we have all been expecting in this pack..”

He paused looking around at the crowd who were listening with rapt attention, feeding off his every word. giving it a moment of suspense.

“…a night where our Alpha will be choosing..”, He shared a knowing smile with Mathias as he gave the situation a hint of suspense.

“ …his mate!”, he announced screaming excitedly, I watched him transfer the energy to the wolves who just a moment had been waiting patiently were now screaming happily along with him.

This was totally unexpected, and no one had even heard anything relating to this prior today.

He tried to get their attention again and calm them down as it looked like he had more to say say, "...but to choose our Luna, there's going to be a competition,"

And just like that everyone went quiet again, as they waited for him to tell us what the competition entails.

"The first female to have a full shift would be Alpha Mathias mate!" he completed with glee!

This competition was obviously set to choose the most powerful alpha female as Luna.

The female wolves were all pumped up with energy, thrilled about the idea of being the next Luna.

But truly who wouldn't want to have Mathias as their mate?

He was calm, handsome, powerful and the Alpha of one of the largest packs in Canada.

But this competition in itself seemed almost impossible, I looked up to make sure I was actually right.

A crescent moon stared down at me from the sky, confirming my thoughts, there was no full moon, so how would this be possible?

Like this. My wolf whispered excitedly in my head, and before I could realize what was happening, I was on my knees.

As an excruciating pain unexpectedly took over my body, I felt bones begin to shift and realign without my consent as my face began to morph into a snout.

Furs sprouted all over my body, and my wolf howled out in triumph.

What happened just now? I looked around through my wolf's sharp sight at the confused look on the faces of my pack members.

Some held a hand to their mouth in surprise.

Did you just force a change on me? I asked her, but she denied me a reply.

“And what's the meaning of this?" I watched Mathias march towards where I stood in anger.

I whined and staggered back in fear.

"Is this a joke?", He looked at his Beta, his coffee-brown eyes which I once thought beautiful was blazing in fury all directed at me.

Marcus trembling in fear and confusion tried to explain himself but to no avail.

"I said what's the meaning of this?" He thundered again and the whole pack went silent.

"The moon goddess has chosen for you Alpha Mathias."

A strange voice replied from the crowd.

Everyone turned to see who it was.
