The red headed Amazonian women who introduced herself as Asia entered the exam room she had sent me to to change. She was tall and pale with a lovely dusting of small freckles on her nose and check bones. Although she was tall and had amazing body she still seemed soft and sweet in demeanor. No dominance at all. Must be an Omega. Perfect for a pack doctor since injured wolves tended to get agressive if they felt threatened.
"Oh wow, your eyes they still..." She broke off seeming slightly embarassed.
"Glow?" I supplied simply.
She gave a soft laugh. "Yes, sorry for blurting it out like that tho." Smiling softly she pointed at my shoulder "I'll need to take a look and get it cleaned so I can decide if it'll need stiches. After that I can cast your arm and bind your ribs."
Nodding I turned accepting the inevitability that she would see the mark, and, if she knew of the prophecy, would know what it ment for me. I slowly pulled the gown off my shoulder with my uninjured arm. The sudden stillness of the room sent my heart racing. lucky for me shes an omega or I would run the risk of being attacked due to the predator instinct mixed with the knowledge of what I am.
"Not a werewolf after all," she murmered quietly obviously not intened for me to hear. with a hint of admiration she continued "Youre The Shifter"
Although she hadnt spoken to me I replied, "Yes, I am. I hope here they wish for the better side of it and dont want me dead."
Taken aback Asia frowned but quickly regained her composer. "No I think most here hope for peace. But to say everyone will be would be presumptuous of me..."
"I hope we can keep this on a need to know for now?" I asked hopefully. I definitely did not want their whole pack to know even if they veiwed me as potential peace id have the whole pack all over me trying to sway me to their veiws. or worse trying to force a bond to be the one to 'rule by my side'.
"Of course," Asia replied knowingly. "I remember how the prophecy goes, ' A shifter born with the mark of the sun and moon will, when her heart has been won, rule the supernatural world. either uniting it in peace, or bring on a war that will destroy us all in the end. ' I imagine many will try to be 'the one' I cant imagine how uncomfortable that could be."
I cringed, hateing this prophecy with all my being. Either everyone tries to kill me or they try to force me to "love" them. It was beyond tiresome. I either had to run for my life or endure confinment while some idiot tried to make me fall for him. Like being locked in a cell was all that romantic. I hope itll be diffrent this time. I really liked the house and land I bought. I just wanted a peaceful quiet life. I never wanted to rule anyone. And I definitely did not want to worry about bringing peace or destruction.
"Elias will need to know. He'll probably try to play you off as a were or minor fea some of them can shape shift. Like the Kitsune or Griffin. or maybe as a demon they change their apperance all the time." Asia said bringing me out of my melancholy thoughts all while cleaning out the bullet graze on my shoulder. "Anyway this is going to need a few stiches. I'll go ahead and get the casting materials while get the stuff to stitch you up. stay here and dont move I'll be right black."
She closed the door as she left. In the silence that followed my mind began to wonder. How could I be so unlucky! only here for 2 weeks and already in deep shit. Could I not catch a break? I sighed and picked at the edge of the sickly green gown. At least I wasn't in a cage.... yet. I hoped it wouldnt come to that.
Suddenly a strong presence exuding power and domoince entered the room. I looked up stright into the eyes of a man who could only be the Alpha. He has short blonde hair, nice high cheekbones, a strong jaw, and stern honey gold eyes. His clothes are clean cut and fitted. A frown began to form on his face, and I quickly averted my eyes. I knew better than to keep eye contact with an alpha, they took it as a challenge. And in my current state I wasnt even a match for a newly shifted child much less a fully grown alpha.
" I'm Elias Anderson, Alpha of this pack, and high Alpha of the American packs. I'm here to informally welcome you to the territory. You will recive a more formal welcome once you heal."
I come to a quick decision before Asia returns I will take control of this situation. Lifting my chin and looking into his eyes I say in what I hope is a strong powerful way, "My name is Kataleena Storm. And I am the Shifter."
