Tyr:
After interrogating me further over what happened my father decided it was best if someone stayed behind in case me overhearing was intentional. And of course, he chose me to stay saying something about how I'm the 'only' person he trusts enough for the task, he thinks I'm an idiot he just wanted a way to punish me for being the late home of Friday when I was the library.
The moon had begun to rise and I didn't want to wait any longer to head out to the nearby forest to shift. If I was older and had more control I could have stayed in studying the moon only affects those who are not fully in control: rouges and the young. Most by 17 had their wolves under control but mine was a douche and we're always fighting for control meaning every full moon I have to shift at least for an hour.
As I started trekking through the forest the shift took over the first time it was excruciating but now it's quick and painless through the pain of the first time never leaves you.
Being in wolf form is exhilarating, wind hitting your fur as you run faster than any normal wolf ever could. Suddenly I'm hit with a strong scent, the scent it's Amaris. As I look around I realise my dumb wolf had dragged me towards the Lotus alphas house, she must be home.
As I'm about to leave I hear a subtle whine, whoever it's coming from sounds terrified. As I edge closer to the noise you could almost smell the fear in the air. Then I saw him, a small white wolf huddled on the forest floor dirt and damp leaves untwined in his fur seeing his evident fear I shifted back but that seemed to make the poor pup quiver in fear. I guess a 6'4 bulked up naked guy suddenly appearing in front of a probably 12-year-old scrawny boy. So I picked a different route and tried talking.
"Hey, are you ok? What are you doing out here? Your not part of my pack so are you part of the Lotus did they just leave you here? Your dad should be responsible for you, do you know who he is?" I questioned in what I thought was a calming tone
The white wolf just whined in reply
"I'm guessing you can't shift back, huh. You know what I'm just going to sit down here" I explained slowly lowering myself to the ground "and... and we, well I can talk to you... just 'til you calm down"
As I settled in the mud and leaves the wolf seemed to calm down
"You got a nice wolf, you know? I mean mine is rare, to have a black wolf but your white" I said a little awestruck "a white wolf is... well it's unheard of there aren't any white wolves" the more I talked the more the boy calmed. Unfortunately, he may have just been lost to the foster system it happens to many wolves if their fathers are dead beats or just plain dead they don't get a pack and don't find out what they are so when the change comes there terrified, it sends some to measures like taking there lives in fear of themselves.
I don't even know why I was still here the normal me wouldn't have even shifted back. Why am I so drawn to this pup? I don't even know him.
"I'm going to shift, so I can run. You can join me if you want" why did I add the last part? I always run alone even when I'm with the pack I like to be alone.
As the night wore on me and frost (my new nickname for him cause I don't know his real name) played through the forest the entire time, even I had to admit it was fun. It was around 4 am when I decided it was probably best we shift back so I could get this kid where he needed to be.
"Right the sun will rise soon so you should be able to shift back, ok?"
The wolf did a very human-like nod so I went on
"you've got to imagine yourself human, picture yourself looking in a full-body mirror. Do you have any birthmarks, freckles? What about..." I shut up as the wolf began to shift, sooner than expected. When they were finished I froze.
'Mate!' My wolf blurted
Amaris POV:
'Mate!' A voice declared
Tyr just stared at me. I mean I know I was naked but he must have seen a naked girl before right? I wanted clothes but if I ran now it would be seen as a weakness, I mean that's what wolves are like in the wild so I'm guessing this isn't too different. Sort of. I finally broke at his starring
"What!?" I exclaimed extremely frustrated it had been like 2 minutes and he hadn't taken his eyes off of me or said a word
"You... your... you're a ..."
" I swear if you don't start speaking in sentences I will scream" I threatened although it was an empty threat I didn't want anyone else seeing me naked
"Your. A. Girl!" He said it as if he was 5 and still believed in cooties
"Well done" I said slowly "could you tell me how you are passing biology?"
"You're a girl" he said again though this time I'm pretty sure to himself
"But you're a GIRL!" He screamed clearly exasperated
Why are all the crazy's hot?
"Right, we will take this slow. Ok?"
He nodded
"You've seen girls before, I know that much seen as I literally ran into you yesterday. Your hot so..." did I seriously just say that "I mean...I Urm" he had the audacity to smirk. Jerk "what I mean is that your popular so you must have seen naked girls right?"
He nodded again.
"So what the hell is your problem?" I snapped just the thought of him with another girl riled me up.
Wait. Another girl? He's not with this girl what is my problem?
"You're a girl" he replied for what felt like the hundredth time
"Really! I didn't know. Stop the presses I? Me? Moi? Well, I'd be darned I've spent 17 whole years not knowing that. 6 of which I bled. A lot, no wonder if I'm a girl." I know it was sarcastic but for god sake, I can only put up with so much and if he didn't get to the point soon I was leaving his cute ass here
"You're a shifter... but a girl?"
I rolled my eyes, turned around and began my hike back to my house. Naked.
"Wait!" He pleaded "I'm sorry, but I can't let you go"
"And why the hell not?" I spat oh now I was angry I am not going from one ridiculous man telling me what I can and can't do to another
"Your a women" he repeated
"I get it we've been over this-" just as I was about to go on another rant he interrupted me
"I am a male you must listen to me! Has your weak father taught you nothing?" He questioned
Oh no he did not! I am no submissive wife to be controlled. Hell I am no wife he has no power here
"No!" I commanded, "my father did try and teach me to be one of those housewives you see on tv but I am strong and NO ONE CAN CONTROL ME!" The last part came out gruff compared to him I normally sound but I didn't care I wasn't backing down to him.
Some part of my speech must have gotten through to him as I swore I saw fear in his eyes. Though I probably could only see that cause I was all up in his face. As I breathed in I could smell the most amazing smells coming from him, it was like hot cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven and lily's mixed together. And it calmed me right down, for a second at least. Then I remembered what a douche he was being so I turned around and ran.
I ran faster than I thought humanly possible, well I guess I'm not humanly possible so what do I know.
When I reached home I could see dads car already in the drive, I couldn't be more than 6 am so I had no idea what he was doing back when suddenly I heard him clear as day.
"A wolf shifted on our territory last night! We have no boys even close to the age of shifting that haven't already and the Black Alder pack take all the males over 7 with them on full moons. So what the hell happened?" I herd him demanding at who I can only assume is Aspen.
And it was that moment when I got it, they werewolves! That was it I climbed up a tree in our backyard straight into Aspens room grabbed on of his baggy t-shirts; the cleanest I could find, though it could still use like a mountain of washing up cleaner. And stormed into dads office.
