Noticed

  As the clock was getting closer to 12 I could feel the muscle spasms getting worse and my blood was suddenly boiling.

 I have been told that this was going to be a painful process especially since my body was still young and developing.

 "Argh!" I grunted, ripping my arm with the fingers on the other one.

They said that the pain would only last the first time and then shifting it into my wolf would be a natural thing that I could do in the flick of a finger.

  And then when the clock finally hit 12 I fell down on my knees on all fours, and began to rub my head, tipped over to the roof and pointed at the moon one after the other.

 They began to fall after me and they were all lifting their heads and growling towards the moon.

 Bones around me snapping as if they were merely broomsticks under somebody's pressing fingers as I was struggling to do it and I bumped into somebody while my legs staggered.

 The hall and the faces around us began to spin until they melted into each other as if they were inside a blender, and then finally I fell down on my stomach.

 When I peel my eyes open I saw wolves around me, from colours ranging midnight black and golden brown, they all looked so beautiful and I was excited to see what my own wolf looked like.

 However when I looked down I couldn't believe what I saw.

 Nothing, absolutely nothing at all.

 I was still in the same form when I had walked into this miniature I hadn't shifted at all.

 Disappointment immediately washed over me. I couldn't imagine how my parents were feeling now, but gradually I picked up my eyes to look for them in the crowd.

 That was why I noticed that everyone was looking at me with severe disgust and someone yelled.

"She's cursed!"

 My heart instantly jumped up to my throat, I knew that the fact that I was not shifted was a huge disappointment especially since all the signs are pointing to me being a special wolf.

 But I still had about two years left for me to shift normally so why was everyone looking at me as if I was some kind of abomination?

  I tried to stand up so I could walk away from everyone and be alone right now.

 But the moment I tried to stand up I found myself hunched, my body curved like a bent street light, and then I was finally able to straighten it when I felt my hair covering my face and I was about to carry it away from my face when I noticed something that made my fingers freeze.

  My hair had become silver.

 Normally it was a dark brown colour and short as well but all of a sudden in the past few minutes it had grown and even become silver in color.

  The room began to spin again, since silver was the only thing that could truly harm werewolves.

 It was seen as a curse, and it is said that anybody that is born with silver hair was going to bring misfortune to everyone.

  But I hadn't been born with this hair colour when was this happening to me all of a sudden?

  Why wasn't I able to shift? And why did my hair mysteriously turn silver?

 I looked around the faces in the crowd as if I was expecting the answer to be in one of them.

 Everyone was just backing away from me whenever I looked and they would scream in unison and begin to murmur deeply amongst themselves.

 Finally I found the eyes of my loving parents but they didn't look so loving as they were looking down at me.

 In fact they looked as if they were going to vomit if I kept staring at them any longer.

 I couldn't take the gaze in their eyes and my eyes kept wondering till I met my betrothed.

 The moment he saw that I was looking at him he immediately looked away, I thought that I was going to be sick.

 I wanted to run away when nobody would see me. Maybe I will even dig a hole and bury myself inside but I couldn't move from where I was standing.

  As my eyes continued their vagabond movement they crossed paths with a pair of blazing blue ones that looked straight into mine, a tall and well bodied 6-foot male with black hair framing his face .

 For the first time, I saw neither fear nor disgust, but I couldn't read the look in those eyes.

   But I wasn't able to focus on him because of all the people that were roaming around me because of that immediately began to run out of the hall until I burst through and I was hit by the gush of the cold wind when I found myself outside.

  I kept running until I lost myself inside the woods and also one of my shoes, but of course that was the least of my problems. The only time I stopped running was when I tripped over a branch and fell on my face.

  With my face on the ground I heard deep growls surrounding me, I quickly rushed up to my feet despite the fatigue that was all over my body.

 "Who's there?!" I called out with a frightening voice as if I was expecting someone to walk out from the woods and introduce themselves the moment I made that demand.

 My fingers close to my body has the cold wind-whipped across my flesh, when I looked around I saw that the woods didn't even look slightly familiar…

 And the growls were getting louder, meaning that they were getting closer to me, and soon I was surrounded by rogues, one of them shifted back into his human form and he walked over to me with such ease that I wasn't given enough time to react and his hand was already on under my chin.

 "Now, how does a pretty little thing like you get lost in a place like this?"
