PACK

Angel

All three of them just stared at me for a moment with blank expressions on their faces.

"WHAT?!" They all yelled at the same time, causing me to cover my ears and wince.

"Yeah. I heard a voice in my head saying my mom asked her to give me a wolf and to take care of her, though I'm not sure who it was. My wolf's name is Sadie." I smiled at them.

"Do you think it was the moon goddess?" August asked my parents.

"Might have been.." my mom mumbled.

"Who's that?" I asked in confusion.

"She's the mother of all wolves. She created us. Just like humans have God, we have the Moon Goddess. Her name is Selene. You must be really special if she spoke to you. " My dad answered.

'Ummm... Hate to interrupt but you're about to shift into both of us...' Arella said suddenly. My eyes widened. I jumped up and took off out the back door, running as fast as I could towards the clearing behind our house. I could hear August and my parents yelling behind me asking what was happening.

Suddenly the pain hit me all at once, causing me to fall to my knees. More pain than shifting into my wolf. It started between my shoulder blades as I felt something moving under my skin. I squeezed my eyes shut as I heard the sound of flesh ripping and I screamed.

As the pain subsided I looked back to see a pair of magnificent blue wings coming out of my back. They seemed to glow as the wind blew through them. I looked down to see that my outfit and hair also changed. I was wearing a simple white gown. My hair had turned silver and now reached by butt in soft curls. I looked at my parents and they gasped.

"Honey, your eyes are completely white..." my mom said. Covering her mouth with her hand.

"Yeah! You also have a blue crescent moon on your forehead!" August whispered in shock. All of a sudden the pain was back causing me to drop to my knees once again. I watched as my beautiful blue feathers fell and were replaced with black ones. I looked at my hands as my nails grew long and sharp, and my skin started darkening to a blood red. Once again the pain stopped as suddenly as it came and looked at my family.

"You're eyes are now glowing violet..." my dad said in awe.

"And the crescent on your forehead is now white." Mom said, walking up to me and putting my face in her hands.

"Honey. You're beautiful." She said and pulled me into a tight hug. I willed myself to turn back and when I pulled away, I was back to normal. I looked at them and gave them a tired smile.

"Can we go inside? I'm hungry." I said and made a face. They burst out laughing.

"You. Always thinking about food!" August commented as I stood up and made my way back to the house with my family in tow.

After I finished eating I plopped on my bed sighing heavily. I felt the bed dip as August sat down next to me.

"Sooooooo...Wanna watch a movie?" She asked as she waved some popcorn in my face. I giggled and nodded.

"Sure. What do you wanna watch?" I asked, sitting up and taking a handful of popcorn.

"No idea yet." I laughed as she turned of the tv and started flipping through movies. Suddenly, my phone rings. I picked it up, looking at it. Xander's name flashed on the screen. I answered quickly.

"Yeeess?" I answered, giggling.

"So. Would you mind coming to dinner tomorrow night? My parents have been bugging the hell out of me to meet you. Well mostly my mom." I laughed.

"Yes I don't mind. I'd love to meet them." I said, glancing at August, who is still flipping through movies.

"Awesome. I'll let them know. I'd also like you to meet our pack. I want them to meet their Luna." I grinned.

"I got no problem with that. I just hope they'll like me."

"I already know they'll love you. I'll get my mom to set up the Luna ceremony." I heard him yell for his mother. She squealed and he laughed.

"Well she's excited." He said and I giggled. "I'll see you tomorrow at 5pm my little mate. Sleep well."

"Sleep well handsome." I smiled as we hung up. I looked up to see August staring at me with a huge grin on her face.

"I wanna go too! Those ceremonies are so fun!" She started giving me puppy dog eyes. I burst out laughing.

"Yes of course you can come!" She jumps up and bounces on the bed, clapping her hands.

"YES!" She yells and I laughed at her childish antics.
