The Werewolf King's Maid Mate

Chapter 11

Kelathari’s POV

The pain is unbearable, my body is on fire. Then I hear it.. the first c***k as my body begins to shift and change into my wolf form. The first of many to go. I thought they said it was more bearable shifting on a full moon, if this is what I’m going through now I dread to think what the other wolves have to go through normally. I hear Azura chuckling away in the back of my head somewhere. Right.. I have to get used to the whole wolf inside my head now.

Time seems to drag as my bones are breaking one by one, it feels like I’ve been here hours already and as I scream out in pain I’ve lost my voice along the way, all I have left are my tears. I have Azura trying to soothe me from inside my head and the others trying to soothe me from the outside. Next thing I know my eyes shoot open I look up to the sky noticing how I can see the stars in more detail, the moon has gotten brighter. Then my ears begin to listen to dragonfly’s in the distance, and an owl returning to its home in a tree nearby. As I’m focusing on everything far away those I realise how heavily the people are breathing next to me.

“Oh my lord her eyes” I turn to face Amalia whose face is shocked, I go to respond but realise I am in too much pain to ask.

‘Your eyes have turned icy blue Kelathari, it’s part of why we are so special, the moon goddess bless us with these’ I’m starting to become thankful Azura is in my head right now answering my questions.

‘Azura, I thought our eyes stay the same colour, usually mine are green, I really wish you would tell me why we are so special’ I feel the emotions building up inside. Another reason for the pack and everyone else who meets me to hate me.

‘No one will hate you Kelathari, and your mate will make sure of that’ MATE?! Omg yes I finally get to experience having a mate, I hope my mate is as kind to me as Demetrius is to Amalia, and I pray my mate will take me away from the Snowfall pack and more importantly Alpha James.

All of a sudden the noises that sounded so clear but a moment ago drown out and become very muffled. I get pins and needles all over my skin, a new type of pain emerges but it’s not quite like my bones breaking and re-shaping. Azura flings us forward so that I’m on all fours now, I’m hoping this is towards the end of my shift. Out from my body sprouts icy white fur even brighter than the white hair I usually have, it’s as white as snow when it first falls in winter.

‘Are you ready Kelathari, we have reached the final stage, don’t freak out too much when you see your face get longer and taking the shape of our wolf form’ Azura’s words have a calming effect on me, I take slow deep breaths as I prepare for the final stage. I look down at the ground and see it move further away as I get taller, I feel my body take the final form as I scream out from the excruciating pain. Before I know it I’m a wolf, I try to turn my head to look at myself and all I really see is my back legs and bushy tail. I start to jump around and roll around in the grass as I start to feel a new sense of freedom. Once I have had my fun I turn to look at the 4 people staring at me in awe.

King Benjamin’s scent floods my senses even stronger than before, he smells so divine I can’t help but stare at him.

‘MATE’ Azura shouts to me. I stand frozen in space and time I don’t understand, how can an orphan maid like me have a mate like him, the most powerful amongst us all. I walk slowly towards him sniffing along the way, the other 3 take a step back as Amalia and Demetrius take in what’s going on.

“Hello mate, I’m glad you finally recognise me” he reaches out to stroke my fur. Where he touches it feels like fire melting away the snowy fur.

“Oh I’m sorry, I forget everything is so heightened for you at the moment, let’s go for a run to let out some steam. I know Jasper wants to meet you and more importantly your wolf also” he smiles gently at me.

I look over to see Amalia crying tears of joy, Demetrius has the biggest smile plastered on his face and Angelique bows to me.

“My queen” she says gently as she bows. Queen? Me? The confusion makes me unsteady on my feet and I fall onto my side. Everyone rushes towards me.

Benjamin holds his hands out to them then looks my in my eyes “Yes she is my Queen” his eyes turn black with lust and I begin to whimper wanting his touch and Azura is wanting to meet her mate.

“Let’s undress” he says, everyone start to undress to their underwear, Amalia kindly takes the clothes and folds them neatly, she would wait for us here for our return. “Don’t worry I brought you extra clothes” she places her hand on the side on my face and smiles at me. Oh yes, I forgot about clothes I have a lot to learn about being a wolf. Over the next two minutes the other three have shifted. Benjamin leads and we start to run around the clearing. As we are running myself and Azura want to test our limits, but we’re also feeling a bit competitive, so we pick up the pace. The others notice and before I know it we are in a full race, I run as fast as I possibly can back to Amalia and when I stop and turn around I realise only Benjamin was close to me but I still won. I let out a long howl for the victorious moment.

The fun soon stops when we can sense people nearby watching. They don’t come out from the cover of the trees but from the scent I can tell it was Alpha James and Luna Sophie, I focus in on them seeing their shocked faces at my appearance. Azura pushes herself forward as Jasper does the same, me and Benjamin take a step back to let them have some time together but being mindful of being watched. Azura meets all of the wolves to not let on that Jasper is her mate as she is growing suspicious of the eyes on us.

‘Kelathari, I don’t like the way we are being watched, myself and the other wolves have decided to shift back to not raise too many suspicions’

‘Azura how do I shift back to human form?’ This may sound like a stupid question to her but no one has ever told me about it before.

‘Kelathari, I’m in your head remember? And no it isn’t a stupid question, just envision yourself back in your human body, it will hurt a little but not as much as when we turned into a wolf form. Each time it gets easier and less painful to change’ I close my eyes to focus, I envision my small body and my white hair, my green eyes and before I know it I am back into human form.
