It's been a rough three years of training every single day. I would run for up to six miles every morning just as a warm up then partner up with the Beta because training with him to control my strength has been a lot easier then it was with my father. I know have a cell phone of my own and can talk to Cassia anytime I want. So I text her through out the day tell so I can tell her how training is going just not the parts of me having my wolf. I can't wait until the day that I can explain everything to her. I know I will have to tell everyone the truth eventually but until that time comes I have to keep it secret. I try to call her at least two times a day which is way less then I would like. I can't wait because in four more days I will be fourteen then I can go see her once again I just won't be able to shift I still have to wait until I'm sixteen for that. At least now I can be around people outside of the pack once again I missed going on Alpha meetings with my dad. Thankfully the first meeting we have is with Alpha Brian. We are having him come here to our pack this time however I did ask him to bring Cassia with so she could be here on my birthday. Three years without seeing her face to face is a very long time so when he agreed it made me very happy. After training I went to take a fat shower so that way I could have supper with my mom and dad.
Finally the night before my birthday I couldn't sleep very well all I wanted was morning to come faster. Just as I was able to fall asleep my alarm went off with a groan I rolled over and shut it off. Put on my sports bra and a pair of basketball shorts grabbed my running shoes out of the closet. Once down stairs I grabbed a couple of bottles of water and an apple I refuse to run on an empty stomach but I don't eat enough to make my self sick during my runs. Three miles in my human form and the other three in wolf I had to let her out since I wouldn't be able to until after everyone from Alpha Brian's pack leave in five days. We ran as fast as we could until we reached the tiny pond where I shifted for the first time Aurora needed a drink but then we heard something I jumped into fighting stance once I smelled rotten corpses which meant rouges had crossed onto our land I mind linked my dad but before anyone got there I heard screaming. They had snatched a few of the pups that were playing in the field just about 100 meters from where I was. I linked everyone and told them just as I took off I let Aurora take over because she is stronger and faster then I would have been. As soon as the field came into sight I jumped on the first rouge I could and ripped his throat out. Before the second one could charge at me I side stepped to the left the kicked him in the side he flew into a tree broke his back so he couldn't move. I had two more rouges left just as the others could get there they both jumped on my back and bit into me as hard as they could I howled in pain. I shook them off and went for the one who still had yet to get up just as I ripped his head off the last on bit into my side and then my leg. Just as everyone cleared the tree line I was standing over the dead body of the last one. I couldn't handle the pain anymore, everything went dark around me and I passed out.
I woke up in the pack hospital my mom and dad were there but there was a very familiar scent that caught my attention. Well happy birthday to me my first rouge attack and I get put in the hospital. Cassia sitting next to my bed holding my hand my mom holding my other hand I finally let them know that I was awake after I was done kicking myself. My mom was the first to hug me then of course Cassia took her turn I couldn't help but smile when Aurora started purring in my ear which confused me but was funny at the same time. So once Cassia let go I asked Aurora what the purring was about but she wasn't able to explain it either so I thought it was because Aurora felt comfortable with her. Within a few minutes Ariel the pack doctor came into check on me but asked everyone to wait out in the waiting room for a few. I took the gown off so that she could check where I was bitten thankfully I was almost completely healed thanks to the healing capabilities of my wolf. She told me to take it easy today and try to get some rest as much as possible that I would be 100% by the next day. She told them that I could go home that I just had to take things easy until tomorrow when I would be back to normal. As we were walking out the doors all the parents of the pups that I saved were waiting for us. They each took their turn thanking me and hugging me the she wolves were in tears because they were happy that their pups were safe thanks to me and my quick thinking. I look at my mom and dad and I could see the pride that they held for me. Oddly enough I couldn't tell want Cassia was thinking I could see the worry on her face but other then that I couldn't read her like I normally could.
Cassia helped me to my room so that way I could lay down until it was time for my birthday supper I couldn't wait for cake and ice cream. She helped me get clean clothes on and made sure I had something to drink before she climbed in next to me so we could watch movies. I guess I must of fallen asleep because when I woke up Cassia wasn't there anymore so I followed her scent to my father's office. What I overheard took me by complete surprise I couldn't believe it. Before anyone knew I was there I made my way back to my room and laid back down and asked Aurora if it could be true. I heard Cassia telling both my parents that she was my mate that because she was a vampire she could sense it the first day we met but she wanted to wait to say something to me when it was time. I never once heard of werewolves being mated to any other creature well other then humans but that's because we are half human ourselves. I don't hate the idea I'm just completely confused if it is true I won't know until I turn sixteen so waiting is going to be brutal. I rolled over to look out the window while I think to myself I guess I just wanted that time to figure my own feelings out for myself. After awhile mom called me down for supper I slowly made my way to the dining room to find the only open seat next to Cassia once I sat down she asked me how I was feeling. I smiled at her and told her that I felt a lot better basically back to normal already. She smiled back and took my hand in hers and automatically Aurora started to purr I couldn't help but laugh out loud because it was funny to hear. Everyone looked at me I told them Aurora said something funny so they would go back to their own conversations. After supper the cook brought out my cake which had 14 candles on it and told me to make a wish. So I closed my eyes: I wish I knew if it was true that Cassia was my mate and I wish I knew how I felt about it." With that I blew out the candles. Even though I went through everything I did today only to find out Cassia was my mate and has known since we first met I have to say this has been a pretty good birthday.
