Chapter Two

Autumn’s Pov

My body became stiff when the scent got stronger time by time. Then, I found out where the scent came from. From the corner of my eyes, I saw a guy with a gray t-shirt talked to the waiter while looking everywhere. I tried to calm my breath and smiled at the waiter he brought my pancakes.

I should just go to my room and called for food service, so there's nothing like this happening! I'm so stupid!

'Yes, you are so stupid.' My wolf said to me. I know she didn't want to be caught, but this should be her fault too!

'Well, said the one who growled for foods like an idiot!' I snapped back to her.

'Now what?' She asked, changing the conversation.

'Just act normal. Act normal.' I said and pretend to eat my pancakes happily. I tried to think of something I can do to disguise my scent.

But, a flashback hit me, helping me to forget about the wolf who is searching for me.

*flashback*

"Honey, your breakfast is ready!" My mom shouted, calling me and my siblings from the pack's kitchen.

"I wish it was my favorite cereal." My sister said with a grin on her face.

"No! It should be my favorite pancakes." I said, opening my room's door and pancake's scent filled my nose.

"Told ya!" I said, teasing my sister.

"Hey, little cupcakes." My big brother's hand was on my hair, and my sister's, messing it softly.

"Whyy! I just combed it!" My sister groaned at him and punched his arm playfully. She always got angry when anyone plays with her hair. I combed my hair with my hand and chuckled at my sister's behavior while walking to the kitchen.

"Looks like this birthday baby got angry." My brother teased her and sat beside me. "Soo, I think the present will be all yours, A." He teased Sam while leaning his head closer to mine and kissed my forehead. I giggled at that kiss.

"Not fair! I want my present!" My sister jumped to my brother's back and circling her hands on his neck.

"I'm just kidding, Sam." He said pinched my sister's nose. Then, we ran downstairs together and met my mom in the kitchen.

"Where're my pancakes??" I asked and jumped up to the chair with a grin plastered on my face.

"Here you go, birthday girl." My mom said softly. My sister then quickly sit beside me with a sad look.

"I want my favorite cereal, mom. Why pancakes?" She asked sadly.

"Oh, I know, honey." With that, my mom placed a bowl of cereal with milk in front of her and that sad look turned to a happy look.

"My sisters getting old! Nooo!" My brother faked a sad look on his face when dad came from the front door.

"Where's my 9 years old daughters?" He said with boxes wrapped in colorful paper on his hands.

"Gifttt!" Sammy and I cheered together, excitedly.

"Looks like they only care about their presents." My dad commented sadly.

"Autumn." He gave me my presents and kissed my forehead. I always giggle when someone kissed my forehead. I looked at the boxes and written on one of it 'love mom' and the other one 'love dad'

"and Summer." He gave the next 2 boxes to Sammy and kissed her too.

My family talked in the dining room cheerfully because today is our birthday, but that is until I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and chest.

"Ah!" I screamed. "Mom! It's. It's painful!!"

My mom looked scared at first but then she softened her eyes and smiled at me.

"Your wolf came. You're going to shift, A."

"What? Mom, will I shift too?" Sammy asked. Mom just smiled at her.

"Mom it's painful. Dad, Luke, help!" I crawled for help forgetting my awesome pancakes on the table. Then, I fell from the chair to the ground. Sammy put her hands on my back, patting me.

"Dad, what should we do?" She asked panickily.

"There's nothing we could do, baby. Just wait for it." My dad's voice became more hard in my ears than before.

Then short claws came from my hands. I saw it with tears running down my cheeks. It was all hurting me.

A second later, the pain was all gone. I opened my eyes and saw my brother smiled happily along with my mom and dad.

'You did it!' Sammy's cheered out and jumped happily.

'Hey Autumn..' Another voice came up. So sweet, so soft but also so strong.

'Who's there?' I asked. I didn't hear my voice out. I watched as mom brought the kitchen mirror to me.

'I'm Audrey, your wolf.' That voice came up while a mirror was placed in front of me.

I shift! Oh my god! I shift! I looked to the mirror and saw a mid-huge grey wolf with my light brown eyes. It's me! I looked around and rolled my body on the ground happily.

'It's me. Not you.' The sweet voice said annoyed. My wolf! Audrey!

'You have my middle name.' I said to her.

'Yea, Autumn is actually better but I just want to choose Audrey.'

'You chose your name from my name?' I asked.

'Sure. Why not? You have such a beautiful name! We will be together till the end of the world.' She said happily.

"That's enough, honey. Shift back." My dad said softly when he put his hand on my wolf's back. I asked my wolf how to shift back and she said it was her job to shift back. So there, I lay on the ground, naked.

Mom got me a towel and I smiled hugely and then jumped happily just like what Sammy did earlier.

"My wolf's name is Audrey!" I yelled.

"Your wolf is so pretty," Sammy said. "I can't wait until my wolf coming!" She hugged me and jumped along with me.

"Okay okay, you better go dressed." Luke grab my wrist and pull me to my room. "Come on! We're going out!" He said and a big grin plastered on my face.

After all the things this morning, my family went to the mall to shop. It's like the best day of my life!

Then, that night I asked my wolf many things and I figured out that she's the 'tomboy' side of me. I was always the sweetest girl in this pack, well Sammy too since she's my twin. The difference between me and her is just I didn't really care about my appearance while she could look at the mirror, like every second. When I got Audrey, I felt like I had two personalities in me.

I was about to sleep beside my sister that night when Sammy screamed so hard in pain. My mom and dad came into the room, panicked. But then, I knew what was actually happening. Sammy will shift. That's when a gray wolf exactly looks like mine with dark brown eyes came into view. Eyes. That's the difference between me and Sammy. She got the darker one.

I giggled in happiness as I ran toward her and cuddled with her soft wolf fur.

After a while, my dad asked Sammy to shift back and I picked up the towel near me.

"My wolf name is Eleanor!" She said in confusion. "Why?"

"Wolves usually don't like their name to be the same as yours, so she will choose your middle name or another name. They choose their name themself." Mom told us and grabbed Sammy and got her to bed while dad grabbed me.

"Go to sleep, honey. Training starts tomorrow!" My dad said and gave us kisses. My mom kissed us too then they left our room after saying goodnight.

*flashback off*

The scent got stronger that made my mind back to reality. I looked over my pancakes and chuckled because I always left my pancakes when there's something happened.

"I think I found what I'm searching for." I heard a hard husky voice behind me.

No.. No.. No...
