I was eighteen, finally. But I wasn't too excited about this. No , not because I didn't feel differently than yesterday or whatever but because it was time, time for me to turn on the first full moon after today.
I was officially going to be in the pack, next in line to be the leader of the whole pack after my father, Vincent Topaz.
He may be the great and mighty alpha of the pack,but to me he was an amazing and a supportive father.
He was the same man who brought gold medals and trophies in advance just in case I lost any competition.
A mix of fear and excitement surged through my nerves about becoming a werewolf.
My father and the rest of the pack were all family to us and they loved me dearly. My father, being extremely protective of their only child, me, didn't let me witness any of the fights or failures of the pack.
He shielded me from everything and I was made to believe that everything was always fine. Hell, I hadn't even seen any of the pack members turning, let alone my own father .
My mother, Ivy Topaz, was a human by birth who fell in love with my father and then got married and they had me.

"Camilla, come down sweety. The cake is here." My mother says.
As I go down, I see the living room decorated with balloons and the words 'Happy birthday Cam' on a huge white banner on the wall.
The table facing the wall was decorated and had a huge, white cake.
My parents and the rest of the pack were all there, with big smiles, clapping as I walked down, shyly. I smile and thank them all and hug my mother.
She kisses my forehead and wishes me.
Uncle Sam then says, loudly, "Camilla, come on let's cut the cake! We're all starving." The whole room bursts into laughter as my father hands me the knife.
As I begin cutting the cake, everyone starts singing when suddenly we hear a gunshot.
Yes, you heard that right, a gunshot.
Everybody suddenly becomes quiet and my father and Uncle Henry rush outside to see what was happening.
Another gunshot.
This time we all go out to see uncle Henry shot in his arm. I look ahead and see a group of people all wearing masks, painted in plain black with holes for eyes,nose and mouth.
They were all screaming something and my father screams something back.
I can't make out what they're saying, I feel beads of sweat forming at the nape of my neck. I look down and see uncle Henry's arm, bleeding which seemed to have no intention to stop.
I immediately rush inside and get the first aid box , my mother takes it from me and helps uncle Henry.
I didn't know what was happening, everyone's voices were muted and the only thing I could hear was my own heartbeat. I was breathing heavily and was slightly feeling dizzy.
Suddenly, I see that all the masked people turn into werewolves. They were almost indistinguishable from real wolves.
Thick furs of brown or black covered their bodies with their big, golden eyes. I couldn't believe my own eyes, I had never witnessed such a sight and suddenly everything was spinning around. I could make out that my father turned into a werewolf, huge ,brown in colour and growling, with his sharp canines coming into view.
They all looked dangerous, yet so beautiful in a way I didn't understand.
Soon one by one all our pack members started turning, and I could hear the sound of what seemed like bones breaking. It scared me.
They all were ready to fight and soon enough they were all on each other, pouncing and growling at each other.
I couldn't make out who was who, since all of them looked alike.
Suddenly everything seemed blur, and what were beads of sweat now turned into pools of sweat, and yet again the only sound I could hear was my own heartbeat.
I held on to my mother for supporting myself, who was standing next to me and I could see her saying something, but I couldn't make out what it was.
Suddenly, one of the wolves pounced on her she was trying to break free, but she couldn't. I screamed and immediately tried pulling the beast attacking her off, but he just growled at me and pushed me away.
The sight of a werewolf, so close, with his sharp teeth growling at me, made my heart beat even faster in fear.
I screamed and tried to get up again but suddenly everything went blank.
No,this is not how the story began.It started a few months ago...
