Chapter 9: Just let go
Violent sounds erupted from the forest. Rune could feel it. "It's our mate! He is in a fight." I look over to tell Amalie but I can see her face. She already knows. Her future alpha was locked in battle and her wolf couldn't ignore the intense pull to save him. Her bones made cracking sounds and I watched as she turned into a medium-sized black and tan wolf with the trademark black claw mark on her side that her pack was known for. She was dainty and beautiful but her anger made her look wild and ferocious.
I look at the two large wolves ripping into each other and Rune goes mad. She whimpered as Torak grabbed ahold of one of Kodiaks ears and clamped down.
My body started to involuntary convulse. I want to tear Ronan's wolf apart for touching my mate.
I should have had my first shift the day I accepted my wolf but Rune went dormant and rejected me, making me an incomplete werewolf.
I thought I would have to force Rune to pair with me but now she was forcing me. Before I even had a chance to think my body fell to the ground. My flesh started to rip apart. My teeth extended and sharpened. The agony I felt surged throughout my entire body forcing me to cry out. I forced myself on all fours and screamed in complete agony. Long nails tore through my fingertips making me scream louder. I tried to resist. I didnt want this. I was in so much pain. "Stop Rune!"
Rune wasn't listening. Her mate needed her. That was all Rune was thinking about. She couldn't hear me anymore. It was like she had gone rabid.
And then I heard it in my father's voice. My Alphas voice. He was connected to me. "You have to stop resisting, Dell. Let your wolf do what she needs to do. Let her take over."
"No, I cant. It hurts. Dad, it hurts so bad." I howled out loud with everything I had. "Please Rune. I can't take this. STOP!"
"Let go, Dell!" I heard my dad shout again.
Dell? He hasn't called me that in years. It was my mom's nickname for me. It calmed me just enough to do what my father asked. I let go.

I can feel someone from my pack approaching. It was Amalie. But that means..where is Delaney? Before I can look Ronan's wolf clamps down on my ear again. Dumb mistake. Kodiak was trained to ignore pain. He ripped himself away from Torak leaving a chunk of his own ear in Torak's savage mouth. He now holds it in his mouth like a souvenir allowing me enough time to track Delaney down.
It looks like she is in mid-transformation. All the signs made it apparent that this was her first time transitioning and she was completely resisting. Doesn't she know the stress from resisting during a first transformation could kill her? It was thanks to Amalie's wolf jumping in and dragging Ronan's wolf by his hind leg did i have the perfect opportunity to run to my mate's side.
I have to admit Amalie is a badass she-wolf. She was holding down an Alpha twice her size. When I am alpha I will be moving up her rank in the pack.
When I reach Delaney I have to take a step back. Delaney had finally let her wolf take over and I couldn't believe my eyes.
A Golden Antediluvian werewolf. The first existing, strongest, and most powerful werewolf linage in existence. The Antediluvian wolves are the first werewolves in known history, and as such, they are the most feared and most powerful of all in existence. But Delany was a Golden Antediluvian. This was rare. This meant she was the queen of all werewolves. I had to tell the Authority. The current king and queen have been dethroned just like that. I looked to her rightsholder and thier it was. The royal mark. Thier was no choice Kodiak and I bowed our head in respect. I could hear Ronan and Amalie behind me. Thier fight had ended. Our new queen was in our presence.
