I felt every eye on me from the moment Rogan walked up and kissed me. I felt like small whispers were floating through the hallways as we walked. Reese and Alec both smiled as they walked along with us and barely could remember that my first class was English. I barely even remembered that Rogan, Alec, and Reese were in the same class as me. We walked into the class and my face had to be the color of a tomato. It felt like the whole class stopped and turned to stare as we walked in. Rogan must have noticed because he leaned into my ear, “Kel relax, and just lead the way.” I looked over to the table that Reese and I normally sat at which was in the far-left corner I started to walk forward with Rogan following behind still holding my hand giving it a gentle squeeze. Looking around I could see the stunned faces and whispers quickly started back up. The table was just simply that with two chairs behind each table followed by another one in front and so it went. Reese and I typically sat i

B By the end of the day, I felt almost normal again and was grateful Rogan only allowed what he did. I knew deep down he was right that I needed to just adjust to my wolf and in less than a week I would be back to some kind of new normal. Although fear was building in me that maybe in a week, my new normal wouldn’t be anything like this. It was the few things Rogan said about him never seeing a wolf be like this. What if there was, I was missing? I wanted to talk to someone who had gone through the change and see what it was like but I doubted “my mom”, Melina would be much help. I also worried she would take it as a sign that was the next high priestess and I made a note to pray again to the moon goddess to not allow that to happen. The truth was I’d always hoped when my wolf came out. I’d meet my mate quickly and be able to go to part-time priestess duties like priestesses who came and went back to their families but I wasn't sure if there were many like that anymore. They seeme

The cool water felt good on my very hot sweaty skin and I could feel the tension releasing from my body. I was grateful Laura was there and noticed my anger. If I had erupted on the high priestess there was no telling where’d I would end up but I had heard horror stories in the past of there being a place for those who disobeyed the leaders of our pack. By the time I was out of the shower and finally cooled off from my rage, Laura had tidied up my room. I saw Laura for the beautiful woman she was and unique to us in so many ways here at the home of the high priestess. Laura had a motherly nature and I was so grateful she projected some of that nature onto me. “Kellina, are you doing better?” I nodded as she came over and felt my face and arms feeling to the now coolness. “Was it your wolf?” I nodded again. “Kellina I think your wolf will be very powerful I had never seen such rage in you before. You are going to have to let me know if you begin to feel that way again so we ca

We pulled into a place just at the edge of the city filled with large trees and we all got out of the car as we walked Rogan was kind and held my son as we followed the path through the trees. He grinned as we came to a large open space filled with many people for a Tuesday afternoon and a very large Ferris Wheel with some other smaller amusement rides. Alec grinned and grabbed Reese’s hand, “Come we are going to the strawberries, I want to see if I can make you vomit.” Reese laughed as she was pulled away jokingly giggling out, “Help me”. As we watched her brown hair sway in the breeze. The more those two were together the more I thought there was something there. Rogan wrapped his arms around me pulling me close to his chest as he whispered in my ear, ‘What are you thinking?” “I think those two might just be....” “Mates?” Rogan finished my sentence and I nodded in agreement as we both giggled. “I think so too, how cool will it be to have our besties right by our side

It had been hours now. Well into the night with not a single soul coming to my room. I was terrified to go out even though my wolf inside begged me to go eat. “Patience, just wait until we know it's silent.” I felt more relieved and calmer talking to the damn thing inside me that could not wait at this point to come out. “Three days, three days and we can be together.” I stopped to think to myself if I was talking about myself and my wolf, or Rogan and me. I ignored Reese and his texts the entire night not wanting to admit the truth I knew to myself. I would not see them again until my wolf and I was one. I couldn’t stop wishing Rogan had his birthday first as he could then declare me as his mate and I could just go to the Wolf Packhouse and stay there until I was 18 instead it was two weeks later, he would turn 18 and we would both know. I laid back trying to imagine the enjoyment of being out of this house and close to him. Knowing that we would be together as mates forever still
