I felt free. With Nessa, together as one, we ran. I had wondered in the beginning how after such an excruciating experience turning, I could be so full of energy in my wolf form, but Ness had told me that we get renewed energy as a wolf. 

I hadn't known anything about being a wolf in the beginning. When Nessa came forward after the first time I had shifted she could sense she would have to slow things down for me. Take it one step at a time and slowly teach me the wolf way.

My parents had died, or abandoned me, or were taken. I have no idea what happened to them, just that I had to have had them to exist. I lived with an old human couple in the woods before they passed. They weren't wolves, Ness said we would have been able to smell it on them, but they were kind, fed us and provided for us the best they could.  

Of course, they didn't understand who Nessa was. They might have thought I was crazy, but they never said anything, and I never explained. I think they knew better, or they were just too old to care. Either way, it's just been me and Ness since they passed. 

Now together we've shifted into our next stage of wolf. As much as I tried to fight it, puberty still hit me and that meant it hit my wolf too. That's why the shift tonight, under the full moon, had been so atrocious. We were evolving. 

Thank fuck that was over. 

"Are we done evolving now, Ness? Cuz I don't want to do that ever again." I say to her through our connection. But she just laughs and says "Feel, Roo. Feel the difference in us now. Just feel." 

I pushed the potential of another night like tonight away from my mind and listened to my wolf. I pushed my paws deeper into the ground to feel the earth below. I breathed in deep and perked my ears to their highest level.

I could feel the roots from the trees, the worms and ants digging tunnels in the ground. I could smell every type of flower, tree, and creature around us, and hear ever chatter, song, and crack. 

It was all so intense. "It's so much. I feel everything. We feel everything." I preach to Ness.

"Just like before my Peony. Breath. Feel it all. Inhale and exhale. Relax. This is all a part of us." I do as she says, breathing and relaxing my senses all while we continue to sprint through the dark, full woods. 

See, Nessa and I are white. I quickly learned, once I entered school, that we were rare. White wolves weren’t known in the wolf community, so Ness and I knew that outing our wolf color probably wasn’t the best of ideas. We had no one to trust, to guide us, and we didn’t want to be controlled.  So, when it’s time to shift we have to stay in the dense forest and only roam at night so as not to be seen. The high full moon shines bright and causes some concern of exposure but not many people care to venture this deep into the woods and we had no choice but to shift tonight. 

We slow down when we reach a small waterfall with a surrounding pond the water pours into. The trees are thick overhead and little moonlight seeps through the treetops,  making this a good place to stop. We lean over to take a drink from the water, all my senses still run strong but they are starting to lesson if even just a little. 

"Good Peony. Your acceptance is key to control. Keep breathing Peony." 

Her words of encouragement are like warm tingles through my body. She helps make me strong and my trust in her makes our bond even stronger. "Thank you, Ness. I couldn't have done this without you." 

We sit by the pond, homing in on our new abilities. As a wolf all my senses had been heightened, even in human form. But this was another level. Deeper, more specific. I could tell the exact type of species of worm or ant that was burrowing through the ground. I could name the bird in the tree by the flap of its wings and the melody of its chirp. 

I could smell the sap of the maple trees, even type of flower or bush that bloomed, and every animal that lives or has come through this area. Even the fish in the pond I could name without looking, just by sensing. "It's so much Ness. How will it be in human form?" I ask her. 

"How would I know?” She chuckles. “I would assume much like this, maybe more or different. But we won't know for sure until we change back. Until then, are you ready?" 

I stand and we begin training our new abilities. We spend the next few hours focusing on one sense at a time, switching between smell, sight, touch, sounds. We walked around the small waterfall and put my taste through the test. It was the same as the others. I could taste everything that had glided through these waters, pin-point the origin of every taste. It was incredible. 

As the moon began to lower and the sun started to peak through the night, we shifted back. The shift was much easier, still painful, and long, but nowhere near the intense, excruciating experience we had earlier in the night.

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   Mates

    They’re coming this way. They’re coming this way. “Nessa…” I have to say it out loud. I have to know if this moment is real or if it’s something I’m making up in my head. A coping mechanism, a way to protect myself from the inevitable hurt to come. ‘Listen Roo.’ She says to me so softly, but my heart is pounding too fast and my breathing is too ragged and too short. I can’t hear anything but the blood pumping to the beat of feet pounding. “Nessa.” I say again. More firm because I need her to wake me up, to tell me that this is all a dream and ease the heartbreak. But she says nothing. “NESSA, PLEASE.” I all but collapse when I see two figures running straight towards me. ‘I’m letting go now, Roo. It’s time.’ And I can feel her starting to release her hold on the mate bond. The mask we have kept all this time to keep us safe. “Wait. WAIT. Nessa, don…” but before the words come out the figures come to a halt just ten feet from me, and I can feel the final release of our hold. “Ro

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   Are you ready?

    I’m gunna throw up. Or pass out.I’m standing outside the Beowulf house waiting for Nate and Ren. Their party has already started in the woods and its an hour until midnight. An hour until they are officially 18. An hour until everyone finds out that we are mates. Everyone except the three of us.I look up to the magnificently sculpted home, but my thoughts drift back to last night.“I just want you.” Nate whispers to me. My heart is bursting at the seams. I have never seen or heard him be so vulnerable, admitting the way he has always felt, that he was a virgin and waited for me, the girl he believed to be his mate when he had no proof, just the belief that his heart would steer him in the right direction. “I know.” I whispered back. Nate smirks a little and I realize what he thinks, so I slowly shake my head and slowly remove myself from between the two men I was already falling so hard for. I stand at the edge of my bed and look at those two men, now seated at the head of my bed

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   IT'S TOO MUCH

    ‘Nessa, what do I do?’ I hadn’t made it but a few steps into the forest before I asked her.‘Let it out Roo. Tell me everything.’She barely gets the words out before I vomit it all out.‘How did this happen, Ness? One minute I am so sure of the path I am going to take, refusing to join a pack, and hating Nate. And now I’m calling him Nate and not Nathaniel, and there is another alpha, whom I am also the mate of, who is so different from his brother. And then there is Camilla, and the fact that she is also a white wolf? I mean, what are the chances? Their parents adopt a white wolf, they are mates with a white wolf. Alpha twins, white wolves. I mean this is all so crazy!’I take a moment to breathe before more word vomit comes out.‘…and on top of it all I have just over 12 hours until they w

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   THE NIGHT BEFORE

    “You’re a white wolf?” Nate asks me. He looks so sad, so defeated, so hurt.“Ren.” I look to the warrior twin, the one who had spied on me, the one who had known my secret before I could tell him. “Why don’t you go check on Camilla.”He looks at me, hurt in his eyes too. I just can’t seem to win today. “Please?” I plead with him.I can feel Nate’s eyes still on me, and I can feel Ren’s hesitancy to leave us.“Yea, okay.” He says before turning around and walking out the door without a glance back to us.I turn to look at Nate and go to grab his hand, but he pulls back from me.“Roo, no.” He starts, but I reach out again.“Come with me? Let’s talk.” I take a deep breath and try to let my shield

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   More Confessions

    “So, what’s going on in here?” Nate says as he comes through the front door of Camilla’s little house. “Yea!” Ren says, “You’ve been hogging her long enough, little miss.” Both of the guys have a big grin on their face, and I look over to see Camilla has a matching one. “Look Roo!” She says standing up. “It’s Renny and Nate Nate!” she giggles as she runs to her brothers. They each take turns picking her up, tickling her, and giving her smooches all over her face. My cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. They are so good with her and it’s obvious how much they love her and she them. “Hey there.” Nate says to me, walking over to where I am sitting on one of Camilla’s big comfy chairs. We had been reading one of my favorite books when the guys walked in. “Hi.” I say back with a smile, and Nate leans down to kiss the top of my head. “I missed you.” He says so quietly. I know we can all hear, but the gesture implied it was only for me.

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   JUST LIKE YOURS

    It’s been a week and a half since I told Nate about Nessa. We’ve been doing that weird dating thing that the guys suggested and it seems to be working out okay for the most part. They both are at my house to wake me up in the morning and have helped themselves to my kitchen. The day after our discussion they showed up at the ass crack of dawn, bags of groceries in hand only to find that my kitchen was already fully stocked. Ren did bring more of that coffee that I love so much, so I sipped on that while I watched them try to figure out what to do with all the supplies they brought. Nate ended up driving about half of what they had brought back to their place, stating he would bring it back when we started to run out of things. I just rolled my eyes because it would take months to run out, but whatever, this was their show. Though it thought it would bother me, I didn’t mind having someone else cook for me. It was nice that all I had to do in the morning was worry abo
