#Chapter31Werewolves don't get their wolfs until their sixteenth birthday usually, but we don't shift until we're eighteen. That was different for me too."I woke up one morning and Aurora was there. I could hear her and I was so confused. My brother's wolf had appeared too." I took a deep breath. "We were twins," I whispered. I heard Rhydian gasp. We carried on walking and even though I could tell Rhydian had questions, he never spoke and I was glad. "Our parents didn't say much about it, they took us to see our Elders who had an idea of what was happening," I explained."They say there's a legend about our packs name. One of my ancestors had a rare wolf. They called it the Dark Wolf. They didn't possess any abilities or anything like the legend of the White Wolf. They were stronger and faster than a normal wolf. Their temper and aggressiveness was something to be afraid of." I explained. "But because it was a legend, no one knew much.""We were told not to tell anyone we had our

#Chapter33"We were running through the forest, I didn't know where we were going. As we got further from the building, 3 wolves came out of nowhere and cornered us. My brother told me to run and not stop until I was safe. I couldn't leave him, there was no way he would survive against 3 wolves... boy was I wrong." I laughed lightly. "He took them all on, I started running then I hid behind a tree trunk when I heard footsteps. My brother came out staggering, he managed to get me to the outskirts of the little village, as I stepped out of the tree line a wolf lunged at him and took him down." I shuddered."He screamed at me to run, they wouldn't go into the village so I would be safe. As I ran into the village, I looked back and saw the wolf claw my brother all over his body. I screamed, attracting attention in the village which caused the wolf to drag him away." I choked. "I tried running after him but was caught by a human, they took me to the local police station. My parents came a

#Chapter35"It can wait a couple of days," Rhydian said. I shook my head, "You need to know... then you'll understand." I stated. "Understand what?" He shrugged. I took a deep breath, "Me... You'll understand me a little better." I sighed. He nodded, I took a deep breath and swallowed hard. He gave me a reassuring smile and it set me at ease.1"Long story short, I caught someone's scent the day after my 16th birthday. I had been told the smell of your mate is something you can't ignore, so I knew I'd found him. I had no idea who he was, he introduced himself as Brett, said he was new." I took a deep breath,  "Someone drugged my food with Matebane in the canteen," I whispered, Rhydian growled lowly. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, his eyes were black. He closed his eyes and when he opened them they were normal again. "Sorry, I'll rein him in." He apologised. "Anyway, I thought it was amazing. I'd found my mate and I couldn't wait to get home and tell everyone. At the end

#Chapter37To say Lucas was happy was an understatement. I'm pretty sure he cried, although he hid his face before I could get a proper look. Now, I need to tell the rest of my family before I go out on that stage in front of the whole pack and pretty much execute myself. I snickered to myself as I was sat on a bench outside the hall. I tried nudging the wall Aurora put up, I wanted her present when we tell the pack and I also wanted to tell her I was staying which she will already know. But I wanted her to actually hear it. I felt the wall come down and knew she'd let me back in.'Rory, I'm sorry. I know I self-sabotage and I'm going to try. I want what you want, I just find it hard. We're staying, this is home.' I waited for a response from her. I stared out into the pack lands, there were pups running around with their parents. As much as I didn't want to live a pack life, I have missed the constant bustle of pack life. It's one big family, after being alone for 3 years, it's ni

#Chapter39"How are you feeling?" Tristan asked as we walked leisurely together. "Really good, actually." I admitted, "It's like a weight has been lifted." I took a deep breath and stopped walking. "I've done so much talking today." I chuckled. "I've spoken about my past more today than I have ever done," I exclaimed. "I'm proud of you for letting someone in." He commented. "I told Rhydian everything. All about my past, about Alex and my Dark Wolf." I sighed. "I can't believe you're saying his name." Tristan smiled brightly at me. "It's really nice to hear." He added."How much of Rhydian's past do you know?" I asked. I wanted to tell him that he tried saving Alex. Tristan doted on Alex and me, Alex was always round at his house with Lucas. "Not a lot really." He responded. "I know about the rogue attacks that happened at his pack, I didn't know they were the same ones that took you and Alex though." He explained sadly. "Obviously it's not my place to say." I started, "But, I don
