Jade accompanied me home. But as soon as I was done washing myself, she disappeared without a word. Though I knew she’d probably just talk with her mate, Gunner, about what had happened to say, I didn’t do a thing.On the afternoon, she went back saying she was sorry my brother allowed it to happen. Maybe if it was the first or the second time it happened, I’d hold a grudge. But since Adler and his group had been bullying me for years, and he hadn’t done a single thing about it eversince, I got accustomed to it. I stopped hoping he’d defend me the moment I realized what it was he was doing.We lost our only parent because I was weak and wolfless, so he allowed Adler and the others to pick on me repeatedly. It was almost a de ja vu. Except not shifting that day was unintentional, and him not doing a thing to protect me was.He hated me that much.The rest of the day, I hanged out with Jade. And before I knew it, it was my seventeenth birthday.“Happy birthday!” Jade greeted me with a h

“What…” I stepped back, fazed. “D.. did I heard it wrong?” ‘You tell me.’ My eyes widened even more. Was it my wolf? Holy— I have a wolf! It just spoke to me and I was sure it wasn’t one of my intrusive thought! Its voice was different, and I could feel its existence inside me. It was there! “W-wha… How are you here? Why… Where have you been?” I had a lot of questions that I couldn’t think properly. “W-what is your name?” ‘Alice.’ “Alice…” I mentioned her name, still flabbergasted. “When did you came from?” I was still gasping, shock at the very good news. “I-I was waiting for you.” ‘I know.’ “Were you hiding?” I couldn’t help but look at the parts of my body as I spoke. I was both fascinated and astonished. It was my first time having a conversation with my wolf, after thinking my whole life I didn’t have any! “Oh my god. Alice…” ‘Enough with the questions. I have a news for you’ I tilted my head. “News? What news? Is it good? Bad?” ‘The rejection might have worked.’ I brea

My head turned to each direction. I understood what Alice said, but I couldn’t exactly pinpoint what he was. If he wasn’t a werewolf, then what? The smell was something I was a little familiar with, but I couldn’t remember how and why. Have we met before? His smell was extremely pleasant, and I understood that it was because he was my new mate. But the sensation of his presence was both familiar and strange to me. Where is he? His smell is strong but I still can’t tell where exactly he is! ‘Turn to your back. He’s near but still out of your reach.’ I heard Alice said. I turned to my back as Alice instructed. I stepped forward, and attentively scanned the area. It was already dark, and it was full of trees so I couldn’t tell. I couldn’t see even his shadow. It thrilled and scared me… if that was even possible. The thought that he didn’t smell like a wolf was scary to me— but knowing that he was my mate thrilled me. I wanted to meet him. That was the exact reason I allowed Jade to dr

My brows formed a knot as I looked at Jade. She sounded a little frustrated. But since it was also what I was supposed to do before she called for me, I nodded my head and closed my eyes. Communicating with my wolf, Alice, I turned. My nails first grew longer, and then my fingers bigger. My size started to double, and I could feel it. I opened my eyes to look at myself amidst my turning. I was getting bigger. My skin were stretching, and although I was expecting it to hurt, it didn’t. It felt like I was naturally transforming, and it was foreign to me. In a fraction of seconds, I was standing in four legs. In front of me was the Alpha, who was in the same height as me. Now, we could see eye-to-eye. “White fur…” I heard Jade said. “You’re indeed a daughter of Analisse.” My mom was one of the strongest wolves in her prime. She was one of Adler’s father’s trusted wolves. Her fur was white, with a green eyes. Only mine was blue because I got it from my father. She was known as the whit

AVALYNN’S POV “Analisse?!” I froze on my spot. It was my mother’s name they called just now. But the fact that I realized why they mistook me for her gave me a comforting type of sadness. It made me want to cry in joy. Because at least… I have something that would remind them of my late mother. I guess my mother was the only one in this pack whose fur was white, given that my mother was the first they thought of the second they saw my appearance. Wolves who were joining the pack run walked close to me. Behind them was our pack leader, Abadon Salvatore. He had the same eye color as Adler. Same fur. Except he was bigger, and more intimidating. There were almost fourteen of them here. All were elders. “Jade…” Jade’s father spoke in our mind-link, his eyes reflecting confusion. “Is this…” “Avalynn, father.” Jade replied in a respectful manner, lowering down her head. “Avalynn Hewlett, Mrs. Analisse Hewlett’s daughter.” “It can’t be!” I heard the other say. “Analisse’s daughter is w
