I was ten years old when I first sensed my wolf inside me. It was triggered by the anger I felt towards my father. He always despiced the fact that i was the Child of prophesy. He would always prefer the girl the bright side of the prophesy to have a solid reputation and satisfy his own desire and hunger for power.
He would always tell me if only I would be the other child and would always compare me to her. Whenever I would achieve something he would tell me that it was not enough. At the age of ten I was able to knock down a fine adult man. But still in his eyes it was not enough. Once while I was sparring with him and he started to beat me to death. But I am grateful for his action. At that moment, while I was strained to death my wolf talked to me.
'Stand up!'
'Who are you?'
'I am your wolf'
'I am not eighteen yet, why are you here?'
'I could not stand watching you suffer alone, so I asked Selene to give me permission to be with you. But I cannot stay here if you do not name me. So, will you name me?'
'What kind of name do you want?'
'The honor is, my friend, on you which I gladly give up.'
'Then I Aron Lev Darknight name you, my wolf, Alden, for which forever shall you be my friend and partner.' with that I felt power fill my limbs and every fieber of my body. Every injury I had disppeared in a matter of seconds.
'Now stand. If the world thinks you are bad, then be bad, be the Prince you are fated to be!'
'But I don't want to be bad person.'
'I am not telling you to be bad, I am telling you to be strong and take control of your fate. You are much more stronger than that and you have to protect the ones you love the most. The ones who you should be thinking.'
And with that I stood and started to emant a huge amount of power, everybody around the training ground stiffned as they felt it clearly.
"I Aron Lev Darknight challange you, Alpha of the MoonKnight’s pack Vendetta Toby Darknight" and wih that I shifted for the first time ever.
It was like hell. For my young body it was a huge amoundt of stress plus it was for the first time. I felt every bone break and reunite after. my skin felt itchy as the black silk lke fur started to sprout and my nose forming a snout. My senses hightened, I could feel everyting around me, it was like I was absolute. I was smaller than the avarage wolf, because I still had 8 years to grow. Everyone stood around, shocked.
My father took in the situaton and realised that I was not joking and shifted himself to a dark brown wolf with golden eyes, but not before I notice his nostalgick features.
We started to circle each other, Vendetta tried to make me submit with his Alpha aura. If I was an avarage wolf, it would definetely affect me, he was a pure blood Alpha who could stand a chance if he was to challange the King, but not me.
We lunged at each other and started to bite down the neck, I managed to get on his back but he rapidly clawed at my abdomen driving out blood.
'What are you doing? Fighting like a she-wolf?'
'Shut up Al' I fire at him annoyed. I feel disoriened because it was my first time shifting.
'Ok, I get it pup, give the control to me -'
'There is no need, you came to me first, this is the most important. Stay out of it, it's my fight. As an Alpha I should take him down by myself.'
Vendetta throws me off his shoulder and I land on my foot, not loosing any second i dodge his attack and lounge at his neck knocking him down. I growl as I bit down his nech tightly, "Surrender" I command him pressing harder my jaw.
"I Alpha of the MoonKnight’s pack Vendetta Toby Darknight surrender the title of Alpha to my son Alpha Aron Lev Darknight" I feel the bond with my pack instantly and I haul with the victory. I tried to shift but no avail.
'What is happenng Alden? Why we are not able to shift back?' I ask as calmly as possible.
'That is because shifting is a stress and it has a condition for underage shifting. We need to find our mate and let her soothe our body by midnight.
I mindlink our beta saying I will be back by the morning and took off to the woods.
'Tell me how do we find our mate? Does she even exist?'
'Yes my dear friend, she exists and she is georgeous! She is the goddes' he said wagging his tail.
'It is no help' I said groaning. We wandred around what feltt like forever just hours away from the midnight. As I take in my surroundings, we arrived at a rose garden and it was very beautiful place. There was a two-storey building in front of me and a balcony at the top. I heard the door open and I hid myself. As the door opened a georgeous little girl appeared out of the door dragging her teddy bear around. She was like a doll with beautiful smoothe skin and big brown eyes. She wore her pijamas and troubled for some reason. When she came near I smelled the most increadible smell ever. Fresh apples and basil. She sat on the bench and I shifted but stepped on some sticks and she flinched. Quickly got up and took a defence pose.
"Who's there?" she asked sternly.
My tail wagged, "Who's there? Answer or I will attack you, I know you are five feet away from me" she said.
I slowly took two steps forward and she could see me under the moon. Her eyes widened.
"What are you doing here, buddy?" She asked. I kept my low alert profile. She shows me her palms and says "Here look, I am not gonna hurt you," steps closer "may I touch you?" she asks extending her small hands and closes her eyes. I come closer and rub my head to her palm and it felt euphoric. She opened her eyes and looked happy. I pushed her, not being able to resist the urge, and licked her face. She giggled under me and her voice felt like music to my ears. She played with me some more time and got tired rubbing her eyes. I sat down beside her and she fell asleep mumbling "I love you wolfy" resting her head on my stomach. I slowly pushed her and shifted back. That day I took her to her room and watched her sleep untill early in the morning and left. That how I knew she was my mate.
