The next day, I got up and took a shower, and got ready to conquer the day. I'm going to have to talk to Dante about this invisibility cloaking that I can do. We haven't talked about it since I've gotten better and need him to realize that I can really help out with runs and hunting. I know he's not going to want to let me, but maybe between Michael and I, we can convince him to let me try. They are going on a run tomorrow night, and this is my chance to prove how helpful my invisibility can be. We just need to come up with a plan. I go in search of Michael. He's in the kitchen. Where else would he be. I go up to him and smile, then ask if he has come up with a way we can convince Dante to let me go on the run with them.
Michael looks above my head, sighs, then says," There may be one way. Dante is not going to like it one bit." Now I am really curious as to what this plan is. I have a feeling we're going to be in big trouble. Dante doesn't like it when we plot against him and go behind his back. But, it is fun when Michael and I get into trouble. Dante says it's like having to watch two kids all day. We just laugh and go about our fun. I think he is grumpy because I spend so much time with Michael. But I can't help it. Dante works so much because he is the Alpha. So Michael keeps me distracted. He teaches me fighting moves, and we use sword fighting for balance and strategy. He has shown me many moves I. defense that I hope no one co.es up behind me and tries anything.
I've had a busy day with all the training and I need to take a shower and relax. When I get upstairs to our room, Dante is waiting for
me. I ask him if everything is OK, and he looks up at me and smiles. He holds out his hand, and I take it. He pulls me to him, and I'm standing in front of him. I look at his face and into his eyes. He looks sad. I ask him what is wrong? He just shakes his head, leans on my belly, and tells me he is tired. We stand up and go to the bathroom together. We take a shower and go to bed.
I toss and turn throughout the night. Something feels off with my body. I'm not sure what's going on, I feel hot, and my body is cramping all over. I scream as pain shoots through my back. Dante bolts up out of the bed like he's going to attack someone. He looks at me and comes over to my side and asks if I'm ok. I shake my head no and curl into a ball before I scream again.
I heard in the distance a hard knock on the door and Dante walking to it. He opens the door, and I hear Michael ask if everything is OK. Dante says he doesn't know what's going on and if Michael can get the pack doctor over here. He says yes and runs off. I am moaning and crying from the pain. It's been 10 minutes, and I hear another knock on the door, and it must be the doctor. I hear mumbling, and then I feel a cold hand touch my forehead. It is the doctor, and he is asking me what I'm feeling and what the pain feels like. I tell him through gritted teeth that it feels like my bones are breaking and my insides are twisting. He looks over at Dante and asks him to step to the side so he can ask him a question.
Dante reluctantly let's go of my hand and whispers that he will be right back. Michael takes his spot and holds my hand. The doctor and Dante talk for a few minutes, and then they come back over to me. Dante asks me to look at him, I turn my head and moan. He brushes my hair back from my face and whispers to me,"Do you have your wolf yet?" I shake my head no. He asks if I've been hearing a voice in my head lately. I told him yes, but it was faint, and it seemed like it was my subconscious talking to me. He smiles at me. And tells me it is my wolf, and she wants me to shift. That is why I'm in so much pain. I shake my head no and tell him it hurts too much. Then I scream again as another bone feels like it's breaking. He tells me that if I listen to my wolf and relax, it will be easier. I need to let her take over for now so I can shift. It feels like I've been waiting forever for her to show up, so maybe I should let her have the reigns for now. Here goes nothing.
I hear a lot of growling and snapping of bones. It's like I'm watching a movie through my own eyes. Wow, she is magnificent, pure black fur, and white tips on my ears. No wonder they said my wolf would be special if I ever changed. She is the only one to ever look like this. No wonder they said they thought I was cursed. My ability must be what makes her different.
I look at Dante through my wolfs eyes, and he is beaming like an i***t. I hear him say I look magnificent. He also asks what my wolfs name is? I wait to see if she can speak to him, but no luck. She does tell me her name is Rosa. I love it, it's a beautiful name for her.
I slowly change back and lay on the ground, totally spent on energy. Dante is there with a blanket to cover me up. I look up at him, and he picks me up and takes me back home. He lays me in bed, crawls beside me, and holds me until I fall asleep. I can't wait to talk to him tomorrow about my wolf.
