Nico
When I come out from the tree I stare at my mate for a moment. She is sitting on a log looking at the view over the falls. The moonlight is shining down on her and it gives her skin a glowing appearance. She really does look like an angel at that moment. Max and Shaun stay in their wolf forms and lay down near the log as I walk up to her and straddle the log, pulling her close to me.
“I win,” she teases while giving me a peak on the lips, making me chuckle. She leans against my chest as we take in the view. Several other wolves have arrived, some shifted, some didn’t. Fires are being built and I see everything needed to make s’mores are hidden in a log.
“Have you ever had a s’more?”
“I’ve heard they are delicious, but no.”

AhsokaThough I have now been taught how to swim, I am not a strong swimmer and the shore is so far away I don’t think I’ll make it. I hit the water and I feel the sting of the impact. Thankfully it’s not winter so the water is not freezing. I see a rock to my left and I realize I came very close to dying. I struggle to keep my head above water as I try to make it to the rock I barely missed and once I safely make it I rest on top of it.It’s mostly in the water with the top barely skimming the surface, but at least it gives me something to hold onto until help arrives. I look around and try to judge how far it is to the shore but the memory of nearly drowning keeps me from trying.I can still hearing fighting above. I try to hold back my tears at the thought of all those wolves t
Nico“Dad, the bond is gone, I can’t feel it.” Gibson makes another portal and dad grabs me to force me to walk. We all go through and find ourselves in the hospital.“Dr. Lee! We need you now,” my dad says but more as an order. A gurney appears and I set Ahsoka down. Nurses and Dr. Lee move around each other like a dance, hooking machines up to her and beginning CPR.“She’s hypothermic!”I don’t even hear anything else they’re saying. I see them wheel her away and I am left standing there. My mother then walks through the door and I suddenly lose it. I sob harder than I ever have before. She rushes to me and I hug her like I did when I was a little boy needing the comfort of his mother.
Ahsoka When I wake up I can feel this electric current sensation traveling up and down my right side. I open my eyes and adjust to the darkness. The lights are off and it’s dark outside. I can hear the monitor begin to beep faster as panic sets in but I look to my right and see Nico. I immediately calm down and smile at him. He is asleep. I try to sit up but my body refuses to hold my weight. I feel very weak. I try to remember what happened but for some reason can only remember being in cold water. Nico begins to stir and opens his eyes. Once he sees that I am awake he jumps and I think I see tears in his eyes. “Oh my goddess, you’re awake. How do you feel? Do you need anything?” I notice he has a blank look but quickly returns his attention to me. He checked every inch of me before being satisfied that I am truly okay. “I’m fine Nico. Wha
AhsokaIt’s the day before my birthday and Kateri said we are having a small family birthday celebration for me. I don’t know what to expect at a birthday party since I’ve never had or been to one. I know you typically get gifts and a cake. We had a funeral for all the wolves that died the day of graduation. It was really sad but there were lots of stories shared about those died and there were many laughs at those memories. I hope I don’t have to attend one of those again for a long time.Nico seems to think I will shift tonight at midnight for the first time. He says that no matter what time I was born new wolves shift at midnight on the day they were born. Nico is worried about the pain of the first shift but I told him not to worry about it. I’ve been through worse, but that seemed to make him sad all over again. I try not to bring up my past with him because he either gets
Ahsoka“Happy birthday Ahsoka,” Nico whispers in my ear.The patio has all sorts of decorations with porch lights strung up on the pergola and there is a beautiful cake with roses on it. The sun is setting, making the lights even more beautiful as they sparkling in the night. The whole family is here, including Jackson, Jayden and my guards. There is a table full of wrapped gifts.“You guys really didn’t need to buy me anything. You already gave me a family and that is more than enough for me.”“Nonsense, this is your first birthday that you are actually celebrating so we are going to celebrate it properly,” says Kateri as she embraces me. Nico sits in one of the patio chairs and pulls me to sit on his lap. He moves his finger in circles on my back as Kateri hands me one of the presents.“Th
AhsokaAfter all the excitement, Nico leads me to a meadow. He says this is where all the pack runs are held besides the graduation run. Currently it is growing beautiful wild flowers and there are fireflies everywhere. The whole family is with me to go on a run together. Nuka doesn’t have a wolf yet, so Kateri is going to stay behind but she wants to see my wolf. There is less than a minute and I have a mix of emotions from nervousness to impatience so I can meet my wolf. I don’t have a clue what my powers will consist of, hopefully Ayla will know.“Alright, it’s midnight. Anything?”“I don’t think so Nico. I don’t feel any different.” We stand in silence waiting for something to happy.“Hello….”“Who said that?”“Who said what Ahsoka,&rdquo
Nico“That was some display of magic son. She’ll be alright, right?”“I think so dad. I think Ayla would’ve said something before passing out. I’m just going to take her to our room to rest. We can shift tomorrow night. Can you call Gibson? Maybe he can help with some of her powers since he is a healer too.”“I think that is a great idea. I’ll call him in the morning. Everyone get some sleep. We have a birthday party to attend to tomorrow.”Once I am in our room I lay Ahsoka down on the bed. I walk over to her closet and grab her some pajamas. I carefully change her and use a warm wash cloth to clean her tear stained face. I pull the blankets over her and strip down to my boxers before climbing in with her. I pull her close to me and kiss the back of her shoulder as sleep over takes me.The next morning I wake to find Ahsoka’s side of the bed empty. It’s not warm
AhsokaWe quickly shower and I blow dry and straighten my hair. I put on some light make up and a simple ice blue summer dress to match my eyes. I still can’t get over my eye color. They really stand out against my dark skin. I strap my wedges on and follow Nico downstairs to the party. I am shocked to see so many people here. I haven’t even met half of them yet, but Nico assures me they all know of me and they are proud to have me as their next luna. I really hope that’s true.There are several tall round tables for people to set their drinks on and lean against. There is a long, rectangular table, covered in a white cloth with more gifts on it. I groan at the sight. I really wasn’t expecting more gifts and feel bad people are spending their money on me. I see Nadia and Natasha walking towards us. They each loop their arm in one of my arms and lead me away from Nico.“W
