Chapter 44 - 44: First Shift

Kelsey

Not much has happened the past four days, I was now at the agency with Lily and my sister. We had all come here right after school, though Skye and Lily were done three hours sooner than me which meant Skye was in Dylan's room alone. Lily and I were chatting outside his room when out of nowhere we heard a loud bang come from inside. We gave each other quizzical looks then I opened the door and saw Skye on top of Dylan, she pulled away from kissing him and awkwardly jumped off the bed. I noticed her bed against the wall behind her and assumed that's what the bang was. I assured her she doesn't need to be awkward or embarrassed, don't think she really believed me though so I left them to have their happy mate moment.

"What happened?" Lily asked curiously.

I smiled and answered, "Skye's bed hit the wall."

She seemed a little confused before putting the pieces together and her face filled with excitement as she exclaimed, "He's awake!!?!!"

I chuckled and replied, "Yes but leave them be for now, they're having a mate moment."

She squinted a little and questioned, "What exactly is a mate moment?"

"Having to like cuddle and be all happy and romantic and stuff I guess. Least that's what Drake and I had when he was almost dead, but he was only unconscious for a few hours. So theirs is probably hella stronger. Although.. I suppose that isn't strictly a mate thing.." I explained to her. She made the "ah" face and we decided to go to the weight gym. We stayed there for a few hours, obviously working out. When we finished we headed back to his hospital room, but when I tried the door it was locked. I made a slightly scared face at the door and decided to just turn and go home.

"What?" Lily asked after seeing my expression.

"Pretty sure I don't want to know how that mate moment went.." I muttered awkwardly. She replicated my face and we both left and went home. When I landed on the other side of the portal I made I was in my living room. I could hear my mom in the kitchen and decided to go talk to her since I've somewhat avoided seeing her since she told me about Phillip looking different.

"Hey." I greeted a little awkwardly.

She smiled at me and responded, "Hi Kelsey, how was your day?"

"Was fine, Skye's mate is finally awake." I answered not looking her in the eye.

"That's wonderful! How are they? Is she still mad at me..?" She partially rambled.

"No, to be honest I think she forgot she was mad. That makes sense though since her mate almost died, but they're good. Last saw them a couple hours ago."

"Well I'm a little relieved now. Have they seen the house yet?" She questioned further. I shook my head so she added, "You should invite them over and give them the grande tour."

I chuckled slightly and replied, "Will do. By the way, Phillip is actually our biological father. He shifted his appearance to screw with you, quite... literally... *cough* but Skye's powers over powered him and we think he's finally dead. Thought you ought to know who the father of your twins is." Her jaw hung open a little in shock, but I just yawned and told her I should get to bed and headed up to my room. I got changed and crawled into bed, mentally saying goodnight to Drake like always when we aren't together.

I had a nice dreamless sleep and woke up at my usual time to get ready for school. I got dressed, brushed my hair and teeth, threw on some deodorant and my shoes then headed out the door. I hopped in my car and drove to shit hole school. Drake was waiting at my normal parking spot and smiled as I pulled up. When I got out he greeted me with a hug and kiss.

"Hello Beautiful." He said, making me smile and reply, "Hello Handsome."

I thought for a second and added, "Just made myself think of the fairy godmother in Shrek two."

My mate chuckled and responded, "Now that's all I'm gonna hear anytime someone says that." I laughed with him as we walked to the front doors of the school and headed to English. Everything was really boring as always and when school finally finished Drake asked, "You comin to the pack house?" I pretended to think for a minute then answered, "duh" and smiled at him. Drake playfully rolled his eyes at me and we got in my car. Neither of us said much on the drive there, wasn't much TO say since school has no interesting stories. I parked once we got there, obviously, and we headed inside. Before we could even close the door behind us, Willow came barreling out of fucking nowhere and ran out the open door.

"Woah what the— What's with her?" I asked staring in shock after the usually bubbly and happy little girl.

An excited look was on my mate's face as he called out, "Dad come quick! Willow's having her first shift!" A bunch of people fricken poofed like magic beside us looking like crazed fans searching for the celebrity target. His dad was pushing us out of the way in a heartbeat, us, Kat and Jason running out after him. Willow ran weirdly and mostly in circles, looking as if she was being mentally tortured.

"So... That's normal..?" I quietly asked Drake who was looking on with anticipation.

"Yeah, when I first shifted I ended up ripping a tree up from spazing like that so much." He whispered back, his eyes glued onto his baby sister while I stood mildly creeped out and concerned. After a few minutes of us all creepily watching her run around like a maniac she slowly changed to the form of a wolf. Once she was fully shifted she was of course way smaller than everyone else's wolves since she's like six. She was somehow even fricken cuter. Did not think it was possible for her to be any cuter, yet here we are. She was a cream type color with grey blended patches and a darker grey splotch over one of her eyes. She looked around at everyone staring at her, her expression and actions showing she was a little scared and very confused. Their dad stepped away from people around him and shifted into his wolf to communicate with her easier. Once their mental conversation was done he stood and waited for her to shift back. After probably a few attempts she did, so he shifted back as well and picked his daughter up.

"Well done Willow!!! You had your first shift!!! I'm so proud of you!!" He exclaimed as he spun her around, everyone else cheering for her. She started smiling and giggling and when he stopped spinning her she gave her dad a hug.

Once he put her down she ran at her brother and hugged him as well, squealing, "I shifted!! I shifted can you believe it!!?!!" I chuckled at her adorableness as my mate hugged her back and encouraged her excitement. After she ran and tackled most of the people out here, we all headed inside to have a big special dinner in honor of her first shift. She of course tried choosing most of the menu for it and the chef's did the best they could to comply to her wishes as well as make it so everyone else would want to eat it. We sat at the long ass table as usual cause where the heck else would we eat, and waited for around an hour or less just chatting amongst each other. The food finally came after what felt like an eternity had passed. There was so much food placed on the table I didn't even know where to start comprehending what there all was. Chicken, STEAK, uh bunch of veggies of all different kinds and different cooked ways. Um.. and a bunch of other shit I have no clue what any of it is. Looks delicious though nonetheless so I took a bit of everything I could reach and dug in like everyone else. Everything tasted fricken. Amazing. Holy crap. When we all finished eating the servers came and took the dishes away while we sat holding our food babies.

"What's for dessert?" I pipped up. Everyone's head whipped to look at me in disbelief, except Willow. She looked excited.

"Ice cream!!" She exclaimed happily, throwing her hands in the air. I agreed with her and we both got some icecream, probably grossing everyone at the table out for how much we stuffed in our faces.
