Chapter 5

Finally, we arrived at the airport.I was sure my parents were getting lost on purpose. I did not know why, but I didn't want to dwell on that. When I got out of the car, I went to the trunk and grabbed my bags. I took them out before putting them on the floor.

Thank God for the wheeled bags. Once everyone had their belongings, we headed to the entrance of the airport. As they passed through the doors, people all around walked quickly, some even ran, while others remained seated without doing anything.

Without wasting time, we went to the counter to get our tickets. While we were there, I couldn't understand the fact that my heart still tended to break and that I wanted to cry a river of tears. But I had to be strong at that time, I couldn't let anyone see my pain, especially my brothers.

While we were waiting in line, I felt my stomach gurgle. I told my parents that I had to go get something to snack on while they were all waiting there. As I entered the little shop, I looked around at all kinds of snacks there.

However, I could not get rid of the feeling of being observed and, relying on my instinct, when I turned around, the cashier, who must have been about my age, stared at me eagerly.

I admit that he was rather cute. He had dark blond hair that reached his shoulders, and soft blue eyes. He was muscular, but he still seemed skinny. Although I didn't want to deal with guys for a very long time, I should tell the truth about his look.

I grabbed a pack of chips, a chocolate bar and a drink before heading to the counter. I also took a pack of chewing gum to be able to chew it on the plane. I hate when my ears get clogged. While he was recording everything,he decided to speak.

"What's your name, beautiful?" He asked with a mocking smile on his face, as he looked at me.From his smell, I could say that he was human. I rolled my eyes and didn't answer, but it didn't seem to stop him.

"By the way, I was wondering if I could have your number? ", he continued. His corner smile remained as it is, but only this time, he leaned slightly over the counter, intentionally bending his muscles. Suddenly, I felt an arm pass around my shoulders and the cashier's eyes widened slightly.

"And why would she do that?” I heard Brandon speak severely. When I looked up at him, I found him looking intensely at the boy, clenching his fist tightly. And unfortunately, I knew that if Brandon was there, the other two were not far away.

"Is that your boyfriend? ", asked the cashier.Which made me want to burst out laughing. I was about to answer, but he continued:

"If so, I think you should rather drop it. I can show you how a real man must be.” He spoke so well of him that I felt the need to choke. The funniest thing about all this is that he said all this not to my boyfriend, but to my brother.

"No, I'm actually her brother. We all are "said Brandon. His look had now turned into a mocking smile, indicating that the other two were there.

"Seeing that you are alone..."

"I suggest you close it and leave our little sister alone," growled the voice of my brothers behind me. I turned around and watched Charles and Ryan enter the store, both with a dark look on their faces. Looking at the cashier, you could read the fear in his eyes, but he was trying to hide it.Rolling his eyes, he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Anyhow, I can have any girl I want. I only spoke to her because I thought she would be easy.”

And here is it guys, by these words, this guy had just signed his death sentence.

When he finished his sentence, my three brothers slapped him one after the other. I was surprisingly shocked that no one came to stop them. I wanted to do it, but I knew that you shouldn't get in their way when they were angry. They finally stopped and you could hear the guy moaning loudly as he lay on the floor. I frowned as I felt guilt while looking at him.But I couldn’t do anything as Ryan took my took my arm and started dragging me out of the shop.We quickly met our parents and we headed towards our plane.

As we were climbing on board,the hostess directed us to our seats. As we were six of us in total,we couldn’t sit next to each other. I then sat in between Brandon and Charles, and Ryan had to sit with our parents, since he’s the eldest. He tried switching his sit with the other two but they didn’t let him.

When the plane finally took off, I saw Charles cling firmly to the armrest.I knew he hated boarding flights, So I took his hand in mine and squeezed it hard, while chewing a piece of the chewing gum I had bought.

Half an hour passed and I decided to watch one of my favorite movies of all time, "The Host". I may have a little crush on Jake Abel but come on, who wouldn't?

Halfway into the film, my eyes began to close slightly. I decided to sleep, because the flight was going to be long and if I always stayed awake, I would start to annoy my brothers. I am such a good sister.

"Belle, wake up! ", whispered Charles, or rather, screamed muted. I moaned before pushing him back as he was blowing in my face, and I don't even want to talk about his stinky breath. Opening my eyes, I saw that the three of them were in front of me. They all looked at me with concern.

"Can I help you?” I yawned, rolling my neck a little. Ryan sighed before sitting on Brandon’s lap, ignoring the look he threw at him.

"You were still talking in your sleep. And you said things we want to ask you," he said with a voice containing concern.

"Oh my God, what did I say this time? Don't tell me I was still talking about Dylan O'Brien?" I said, blushing slightly, remembering very clearly this humiliating day. They all pulled faces when I pronounced the name of Dominique.

"No! It was not about him.”

Fortunately. This is something that no brother needs to hear from his sister. I giggled awkwardly while rubbing my arm.

"You were talking about Alpha Edmond and rejection.Belle, is there anything you want to tell us? ", Brandon asked me sadly. I knew they knew the answer to this question, but they just wanted to hear it from me. When I didn't answer, Brandon moaned.

"Belle, is Edmond your companion? ", he asked bluntly. I could only agree, without wanting to look up at them.

"And what is this rejection? Belle, please don't tell me that you rejected it because we were leaving today? ", Ryan asked with an obvious hint of disappointment on his face. I felt my anger rise as he uttered these words. My own brothers believed that I could be so cruel and heartless. Instead, I bit the inside of my cheeks. I sighed loudly as I closed my eyes.

"I don't want to talk about it now. Please," I begged them before looking at my hands. They didn't say anything, but they just left me alone.While I was lost in my thoughts, I heard through the intercom that we were soon going to land.

When we landed, we got off the plane. We quickly picked up our luggage, then we went to rent a car. Once this was done, we got on board and left for our new home for a one-year stay. Technically, no one was allowed to know the location of this place, but since my brothers were coming now, it was logical for them to tell us.

When we arrived at the front door, I couldn't help but stay speechless in front of the house, no wait, let me reformulate the castle that was in front of us. As we walked through the front door, we drove for what seemed to us to be a long time before stopping in front of the entrance. Many people welcomed us as we headed up the stairs. When I entered the castle, I honestly felt nervous. We were about to meet the old werewolves. I was torn from my thoughts when my brothers held me.

"Belle, why haven't you transformed yet?”Just as I was going to talk, I felt my she-wolf making her way.

"You don't know me yet, but you will do it at the right time. You don't have to worry. I can assure you that you will transform yourself today," she said. Her voice was soft and soothing. I explained what she had said to my brothers and they nodded, but they still seemed worried.

After talking to my she-wolf, they escorted us to the rooms where we were going to stay during our stay in the castle. When I entered my room, I was absolutely stunned.It was incredible! There was a very large bed in the middle of the room, covered with a very soft cloth, with extremely high ceilings. I was extremely happy when I realized that I wouldn't have to share a bathroom with my brothers.

Soon, someone came and showed us around the castle. It was indeed a giant labyrinth. I could barely remember where my own room was.But I thought I would do it over time. Once the visit was over, they took us to the large room, where the old werewolves were. Legend has it that they were the first wolves to travel the Earth, and that they had incredible powers conferred on them by the Goddess of the Moon herself.

Walking to the large dark brown doors, I noticed all the sculptures they contained. It looked like a group of wolves screaming at the moon. The doors opened squeaking and we all entered. The room was large, the ceilings were high and there was a large podium in the middle where they were all sitting. They were all dressed in elegant dresses, but none of them seemed to be more than thirty years old. Fortunately, they all smiled brightly, which helped to calm my nerves slightly.

They started conversing with my brothers while I stood on my side, keeping my head slightly tilted. I could no longer focus on them because I had suddenly heard a buzzing in my ears.

"It's time to transform. We must show ourselves to them. And my name is Diane," said my she-wolf with authority. But, before I can question anything, it started.

I fell to my knees and screamed at the top of my lungs, as if my flesh was on fire. I could hear each bone burst and adapt to the shape of the wolf. I could feel each wick of fur make its way through my skin. My teeth contracted and were replaced by wide and sharp teeth like razors. It seemed to me that years had passed before everything stopped, before I felt like I could breathe. Opening my eyes, I looked at everyone, they were all staring at me. I got up when I noticed that there was a mirror in the room. Slowly, I went to the mirror, and once I saw myself, I was extremely happy. I was a white she-wolf. Technically, it was rare for someone to have a white coat, but that meant absolutely nothing.

"You are absolutely beautiful, Belle! ", Brandon shouted joyfully. They all wore big bright smiles. Looking at the Elders, it looked like they were waiting for something. While I was about to turn away, a new pain caught up with me. I screamed loudly, as if someone had started to drive a knife into my body in every possible way. What was going on?

When the pain finally calmed down, I was exhausted; I could barely stand. When I turned to my family and the Elders, my family looked shocked while the Elders looked happy and excited. By turning slowly, I understood the meaning of all his contradictory expressions.

I thought that when I faced the mirror, I would always have my white fur, but that was not the case. When I looked at my body, and all I saw on my white fur, it was blue swirls that passed in all directions. I had never seen anything like this before. And finally, the thing that shocked me to the highest degree was that my eyes were completely white.

This was the last thing I saw before my body gave in to exhaustion.
