Chapter: TEN

     Ash looks up at me, "I had a feeling something might be going to happen, something life changing. My mother and grandfather would always tell me that I was special. I wasn't to sure what they were even talking about, I just thought it was just my very good skills working with all the horses I worked with , like they could understand me or something."

     She stops talking and lets out a long shaky sigh. I then notice a single tear slowly roll down her cheak. "It's like they have known that I was different from the beginning."  She starts to cry more into my chest. I wrap my arms around her even tighter and just let her cry for a while. "Baby, do you remember the first time you and I saw each other? That sudden attraction we felt for each other?" 

     She nods so I continue, "That my love is called the mate bond, it's basically like a soul mate but for my kind, OUR kind its just a little bit diffrent." She nods her head again, but doesn't say anything yet. "So, what exactly are you or i should say what are we anyways?"  She says looking me right in the eyes while tears still run down her cheeks. It just breaks my heart to see her like this. 

     "Well, I am a Lycan, Chris and Nate are also Lycans as well. We are like you, but a little bigger.You, my little mate are what is called a werewolf shifter. To my knowledge, you are what we believe to be the very last of your kind." I hook my finger under her chin so I can look into her eyes, and slowlybrought my lips to hers. She gasped as soon as our lips touched with an explosion of sparks between us. 

     We go so lost into our first kiss that we didn't notice that her friends were standing at her bedroom door. "AWWWWWWWW!!! Look how cute you two are together." We jumb away from each other to see Kim, Toni and another guy I haven't met, long with Chris and Nate standing behind them with huge smiles  all at Ash's doorway. I Chuckle a little then look back at Ash to see her cheeks were getting red, but damn she looks so damn cute. 

          (Ash's POV)

     Rick kisses me on the cheek then headed down stairs with the others. Kim looks at me with a sad small smile. "Are you alright?" She asks "If you don't feel up for the party we totally understand." She adds. She knows I have a hard time dealing with big changes. I give her my signture half smile and nod my thanks.

     I lay back on my bed looking up at the celing. I'm just going to have to suck it up andgo join the party and take it one day at a time. I made my way down the stairs, Kim and Toni see me and run right up wraping me in their arms. Paul joins in as well as he ruffles up my hair knowing I hate when he does it, but I just laugh.

     There are many birthday wishes and so many hugs. I look over to see Paul doing his thing on the grill while laughing with Rick and his two friends. Rick spots me then there is a beautiful hugh smile on his face. I swear I'm going to melt but then he makes his way over to me and then pulls me close to his body. Suddenly, he jumps into the pool with me in his arms. 

     As the day goes on, most of the guest have left, but Rick and his friends are still here hanging out with us. I excuse myself for a moment to go shower. I'm just about finished when I hear a soft voice call out my name. I froze for a moment then peeked my head out of the showern curten but didnt see anyone so I call out "Hello? Is someone there?" I say but don't hear anything.

     "I Have been waiting for so many years to finally beable to meet you, my beautiful human. I am your wolf, My name is Star. Max and his human , Rick are our mate that our mother, the Moon Goddess has blessed us with. It's finally time for you to know exactly whoyou are ment to be. I am very sorry but our first shift is going to be painful. This is the other reason for our mate to be close. He will help and guid you through." My wolf says.  Wow!! the fact that I can literally speak to MY WOLF in my mind is just WOW!
