#Chapter95"Caleb! Carson!" Mum yelled. I rolled over and yawned, opening my eyes. Today is the day I've been waiting for. I'm finally 16 which means I will shift and receive my wolf from our Moon Goddess. I'm beyond excited... I peered over at Carson with a big grin. He was white as a sheet. I jumped off my bed and rushed over to him. "What's wrong?" I fretted as I sat on his bed. He sighed and shook his head. "Come on, tell me?" I urged.Carson is my twin brother. He nearly died when we were . A rogue got into our pack and took him. He was gone for hours before he was found on the borderline. Carson never repeated what happened to him, but whatever it was, shook him up to the point he stopped speaking. The only way he will communicate is through mindlink and even then it's one-word answers or short sentences. I wish he would tell me what happened, all I want to do is help and I feel useless because I don't know what's going through his mind. Ever since he has been a nervous wreck.
#Chapter96I sighed as we walked down the forest trail behind our house. "I'm sorry," Carson whispered. I stopped and turned to face him. "Sorry for what?" I asked, raising a brow. "Ruining your birthday." He replied, looking down. My heart dropped as he answered. "Carson, you aren't ruining anything." I sighed. "Get those negative thoughts out of your head." I playfully tapped his temple. He rolled his eyes and shoved me. "See, this is what I wanted. The playful Carson." I smirked. "Come on," I chuckled as we continued on the trail. We stopped once we reached the yellow stone. Our pack is called The Yellow Stone pack because of this random huge stone in the middle of the forest. It's not exactly yellow, but it reflects against it and gives off a yellow colour when the sun hits the stone. Behind the stone, I could see our friends: Lily, Marcus and Ruby. We all grew up together, they don't treat Carson any different to how they treat me which I appreciate. "Happy birthday, you guys
#Chapter97I stood in the mirror, looking at my reflection. In just under 2 hours, my life is going to change. I'm going to become a wolf and everything is going to be different. I took a deep breath and peered over at Carson who was glancing between the outfits our mum had placed out on our beds. I scoffed and went over to him."Your suit is nice, Caleb." He muttered through the link. I rolled my eyes and looked down. A new navy 3 piece suit had been laid out on my bed paired with some black dress shoes. I'm going to my shifting ceremony, not my Alpha ceremony. Why the need to prance me about in fancy clothes which will get shredded to pieces is beyond me. I glanced at Carson's outfit... My mum had been in his wardrobe and pulled out the first thing she saw.I rolled my eyes and picked my suit up, tossing it across the room. I looked at Carson who raised his brow at me. I smirked before going over to my wardrobe and picking out some sweatpants and a hoodie. I held them up in front
#Chapter98Whispers and murmurs spread throughout the crowd. Carson was still in his wolf form, his gaze locked on me. My parents were talking between themselves while I'm stood here wondering what the fuck is going on?I should have begun the shifting process or at least received my wolf. But my mind was empty, I have no wolf... I can't even feel him. "Dad..." I whispered. He glanced at me and I shivered. "What's happening?" I whined. The look on his face nearly brought me to my knees... He was repulsed by me. Now I know how Carson feels. I backed away, tears threatening to spill. I was scared, confused and no one was helping. Carson's wolf rose and slowly edged towards me. I gazed at him, he was truly remarkable... I knew he would be. But, I was feeling slightly envious. He has his wolf, why don't I have mine?I turned on my heel and rushed off the stage. I needed to be anywhere but here, I hated everyone's eyes on me. "Caleb, wait!" Carson shouted through our link. I stopped an
#Chapter99"Alpha?" I whispered. They were giving Carson the Alpha position. Surely I couldn't have heard right? They want to take the position away from me because I haven't got my wolf yet, it doesn't mean I won't get my wolf right? I still could... Panic set in when I realised Carson still had his block up, why was he still blocking me out? All eyes turned to me, a look of worry passed through Carson's eyes before his expression turned cold. I shuddered at the intensity of Carson's gaze. "How do you expect to be Alpha when you have no wolf?" My dad raged. "Carson may not speak but his wolf is powerful and strong. What the fuck do you have to offer?" He cursed. My breath caught in my throat and I paled. "But you said-" He interrupted me by shaking his head and cackling. "You are no son of mine." He spat. "You are nothing to this family anymore." He scoffed. 1"Tomorrow, you move to the packhouse to be a servant." He sneered. "Come on you two. I'm sure he has a lot of packing to d
#Chapter100I rolled over and tried sitting up. I fell back down when my chest felt like it was caving in. I grunted and rolled back over onto my back. I rubbed my eyes and cursed out loud when I felt the wound on my face. I cringed and fluttered my eyes open as much as I could with only one good eye. My arms and legs were throbbing, I lifted my arm and held it close to my face. There were claw marks all over my arms and I'm guessing the same on my legs. I looking around, trying to figure out where I was. "Are you ok?" A voice asked. I pulled myself up, holding my chest. "Wh-Whose there?" I choked out. A light flickered on and off before staying on. I blinked until I could see better, "Caleb?" The voice asked again. I sighed and tried standing up. "You won't be able to stand just yet." The voice spoke again. "Who are you?" I asked. My mind was foggy, I recognised the voice but couldn't put a name to it. I heard the sound of a door opening then shuffling. A silhouette figure appear
#Chapter101I walked and walked until I physically couldn't. My chest was on fire, my face was throbbing and my arms and legs were stinging. I sat on a tree trunk to catch my breath and give everything a rest. If I'm heading in the direction I think I am there's a service station a mile or so away, I should be able to jump on a truck or wagon or something. They travel between cities so hopefully, they will be one going to Devon.I stood up, bracing myself for more walking. I continued my hike towards the service station, replaying the events of the last 24 hours over in my head. Nothing makes sense, I've stopped asking why I haven't got a wolf... The biggest question in my head now is, what the fuck happened to Carson? How can someone change so fast? As much as I say he's not my brother anymore, he's always going to be. He may have cut the bond between us but it doesn't stop you from caring as much as you want it to.I blew out a breath when I spotted the huge neon sign for the serv
#Chapter102I headed towards the little cafe. I pushed open the door and was hit with the smell of wolves. I made my way to the counter and a little woman smiled sweetly at me before wrinkling her nose and raising her brow at me. "You're not from around here are you, young lad?" She asked, her voice held no conviction she sounded generally curious. I shook my head and smiled. I was almost positive she could see the wound over my eye there was no doubt she could smell the blood."I'm looking for a place." She interrupted me by handing me a menu and pointing at a table. "Go sit, have some food on us then continue your journey." She smiled at me. I nodded and went over to the table. I glanced at the menu and tried to pick the cheapest thing I could.She came over 5 minutes later and placed a hot chocolate in front of me. "I'm Maria, what's your name?" She asked as she sat opposite me. "Caleb," I replied, "Thank you for the drink," I added, holding my hands around the heat. She nodded a
