Here we go again

So.
I was at the point in my life where I would receive my wolf.
At midnight, or just after midnight I will turn eighteen. I would formally be known as an adult, in the eyes of the Alpha and Luna of my pack.
What these two lacked in decency, they made up for in beauty.
The Alpha and Luna of the Moons light, were a stunning couple. People would actually goggle at them.
Alpha was around the 6’3 mark and the Luna is 5’9.
Both were blonde. Both lean but full of muscles.
They had to be really.
The Moons Light pack was a warrior pack. Every member of this pack; including me, were highly trained in the different fighting techniques from around this world.
I would estimate that just one, and I mean anyone, could probably take on three other fighters on our own.
Yup. Even me. In this life I was a warrior. I was given a warriors wage. I had a home of my own. And I was left alone for the most part.
I was not very pretty. I knew that. The other kids knew it too.
All through my school years I was bullied, because of my low status.
I was lower than an Omega. I was a rogue.
The Beta of the Moons Light pack had found me whilst out on his morning run. As I was just a baby he’d taken me straight to the pack medical bay.
Once I had been checked over and proclaimed healthy, I was shipped off to the orphanage, which was also on pack grounds.
Over the years one couple or another had fostered me. I was never in one house very long. After a few months, I was always taken back to the orphanage. Nobody wanted a freak for a child.
And unfortunately. I; was a freak.
The orphanage became my permanent home after a few years of the back and forth.
That is where I stood now. In the garden of the Moons Light children’s home. Tomorrow I was moving out.
Not because I wanted to. But because tomorrow I would be old enough to support myself. And not rely on the kindness of the children’s home.
I started to shiver. It was strange. As wolves; we are warm blooded creatures. We never felt the cold.
Nonetheless, I felt cold. It was only then that I understood. It was starting. The change every werewolf went through when they turned eighteen.
My breath hitched in my throat as I heard the back door of the children’s home open; and then close very softly.
I felt the first snap of my bones as I began to shift into the wolf I had received. Silver fur had started to cover my arms and legs.
Suddenly, I was thrust into the back of my own mind, as a presence, much stronger than I at the moment, came forward.
I watched on, from behind my own eyes, as I turned to look at the person who had joined me; outside.
It was Marilyn, the current welfare worker, who was in charge of the home. I saw her eyes widen in surprise as she took in my wolf.
I never expected to see fear wash over her face.
Marilyn was a lovely, soft hearted woman. Who loved her job, was very good at it in fact.
I took a step closer to her. But she quickly stepped back, “oh Cassandra, I don’t know what to say. You… you are, well; you’re wolf is silver. And huge!”
I didn’t like seeing fear on her face.
I spun around on my four legs and ran.
I ran deep into the forest that ran the whole outer perimeter of the pack lands.
I kept running. It felt so great to be finally on four legs instead of two.
I was so excited to be back in wolf form I didn’t pay enough attention to my surroundings.
The attack happened before I even registered another wolf in the same section of the pack lands that I was currently in. Until it was too late.
My life ended so fast, it was a genuine shock to find myself once again infront of Moon.
Moon looked throughly irritated.
“Well! Here we are again Cassandra. I really must say that this is getting out of hand now. Don’t you think?”
Moon stood there with her arms crossed. Glaring at me.
Do you know how disconcerting it is to have a deity who is known for her calm and kindheartedness. Look at you like she could just strangle you?
I just looked down at my feet, not wanting to speak. I wouldn’t know what to say to her anyway.
I too felt that this was getting ridiculous.
I had been reborn a handful of times now. In every life I have lived; so far I have died, before the age of twenty, in one way or another.
I know that Moon was trying her best to place me with the right vessel.
I also knew that my wolf. My beautiful sienna, was worried that it would not happen for another millennium.
I finally looked up at Moon. I knew I looked wretched. Knew I looked like I deserved her pity.
But looks can be deceiving. Yes; I was in a sorry state. Yes; I had once again been ripped from my soul-sharer.
But the fight I have always felt deep within me still burned.
“I will find him. Won’t I, Moon? Please tel me I will find him.”
Moon knelt down infront of me, I lifted my head when I heard her sigh.
“I swear to you Cassie. I will find the right time. I will find the right mate for you. For Samiel. I will make my mistake right.”
I looked at her, saw her eyes sparkle with an intensity that makes me shiver.
“Come. Cassie. I do not believe now is the right time for you. The darkness that has invaded the other realm seems to be unsafe for one such as you.”
I only nodded at her as I stood up, and brushed myself off.
I hoped that when the time; was right. I would not only find him. But perhaps it would mean that I would live passed my twentieth year.
