Trixies POV My mom and dad have been chomping at the bit to celebrate my birthday. Tonight was the night that we all agreed on and of course mom had it all planned out. She had order a pizza buffet and a cookie cake for me. We had sat down and reviewed the guest list and had my friends there. I was actually excited. I had just got out of school and everyone was suppose to come over about 5. I was getting ready at Jerica's house and so was Abby and Janet. Today Jerica did not have a pack car since they was no official pack business for her to take one for. So we all piled into Abby's Honda and we were off singing to today top hits and dancing with excitement to Jerica's house. We got there and her mom was waiting outside for us. "Hey girls!" she said. We all jumped out and gave her a quick wave. "Hey!" I told her. I honestly surprised myself when i found myself giving her a quick hug on my way in the door. The last couple weeks she has been helpful answering any questions I might hav
Trixie POV I woke up to my alarm playing the morning weather and then it rolled straight into today's top hits. I stretched out in my bed and got up. I took a quick shower and straightened my hair out. I put on my make-up. I pulled on some black leggings and a cute baby blue cropped sweater. My leggings were high waisted ones so even though my sweater was cropped there was practically no skin showing which was good for school. I threw on the new pair of Air Jordan sneakers that my parents got me last night. They were baby blue, white and pink with black ascents. I was in love with them. I grabbed my back pack as well as my duffle bag I had packed for my stay at the pack house this weekend, and headed down stairs where I could here my mom cooking breakfast. It smelled delicious. "Good morning my grown baby!" she said bittersweetly. "My baby is eighteen." She said putting down the frying pan with eggs and coming over and hugging me and giving me a kiss on the top of my head. I gave he
Jerica POV"Jerica, I feel sleepy." Trixie told me. I looked over at her. She was pale and clammy. She was running a fever. Trying not to worry her I say, " That's okay usually means the fever is breaking and you need rest before your shift. You can sleep. I will get us to the pack house and they will know what to do." I looked back over at her; she was already asleep in the passenger seat. I have only heard about a few running fevers or getting sick prior to shift. Usually meant there was going to be complications. I heard a rumor once that it meant the wolf was the off spring of someone procreating with someone other than their destined mate after meeting their mate. The pup would pay for the sins of their parents. It was cruel. I don't know if it was true or not but I was panicking. I looked between Trixie and the road. I knew I had to go to the pack house but once I got there I wasn't sure how they could help. But I knew who would know. I grabbed my phone and I hit send to start
Trevor point of view Trevor point of view We were walking out of he pack house just as Jerica tore down the drive way. Any other time I would be mad someone speeding down it but in this case I was glad she was. I couldn't get to Trixie fast enough. Within just moments Jerica skidded to a stop right in front of us. I immediately went to Trixie's door and began unbuckling her. "Really Jake? I said get my mom." Jerica whined. "I am here honey." Melissa called out to her from behind me. "Do you think you should be the one to get her out?" Jerica questioned him and the feral growl roared in my throat causing her to freeze but her attitude of course was never gone. "Geez okay I was just asking." She turned and began getting out on her side. I lifted Trixie up and cradled her in my arms. I felt her sigh against me and her body un tense slightly. Her fever was still there though. Her forehead glistened with sweat and her hair was slightly damp. I turned and carried her back into the pack h
Jerica point of viewIt had been close to an hour since I got to the pack house with Trixie and Trevor ran up stairs with her giving me no information at all. Luckily Trevor had filled in Jake who had sworen me to secrecey. I had found out that Trevor and Trixie are mates. Which was exciting and also a little scary because I let our Luna break up with our Alpha. On top of that Trixie kept blowing the whole mates thing off and said it was a thing of fairy tales. I had purposefully been putting her around other mates so she could she is was not. Lots of she wolfs couldn't wait to find their mates. We even had parties and balls annually for the ones who had not found their mates to attend in attempt to find one another.Trevor is going to hate me for backing Trixie for breaking up with him. Why did he even let her? What were they doing up stairs. "Jake. Can you tell me whats going on?" I asked him annoyed and worried. " Trevor is drying her hair
Trixie point of view I followed Melissa into the trees through the dark. My vision was already enhancing. There wasn't any light out here but it was like I could see clearly. We walked for what felt like an hour or so and ended up next to the river where there was a break in the sky. I started drinking the bottle of water the pack doctor gave me. It had the herbs and leaves in it that the bath I was in earlier had to get rid of the fever. He said drinking this would help keep the fevers away. He only gave me two so I had to make them last until I shifted. But I had already drank half of the first one.I looked up at the sky there was suppose to be a full moon tonight. "When the moon is at its highest it will peak over the river and cast it's light down here. That will help your shift go smoothly in the moon light. " Melissa told me and looked at her watch we have about an hour and a half. I have some snacks and we have time to sit and for you to ask me any questions that you may stil
Jerica's point of view I stood worrying watching my best friend tense and grip at the ground in pain while hearing her bones shift and break for her first transition into her wolf. I could see the sweat running down her bare back facing me and my mother. I looked back and forth between the two. My mother tells her not to fight it, to will it to happen. How so you even do that. Pure mental strength that is how. She could do it. I looked at the moon's light on her skin as it starting turning into patches of fur until it was a coat of her and the sound of bones breaking stopped and her transition was complete. Her wolf stilled on the ground for a moment, then she rose up. She raised her snout to the sky sniffing the night air. Moments passed her head slightly tilted back and forth before my mother spoke. "Are you talking to your wolf, Trixie?", my mother asked. Trixie turned her head to face us and made a growl slash audible attempt at talking. "Your wolf is beautiful Trixie." My mothe
Trixie's point of view.I ran after her. my eyes watching every stick and uneven tread in the ground I leaped with precision that I could not process and could see perfectly even though it was dark with just flickers of the moon light coming through in certain spots of tree branches. The ground felt damp and soft beneath my paws. It felt. . . natural. Like I was suppose to be doing this my whole life. Melissa slowed in front of me and circled around. She shook her head no to me. I assume she meant this was our border and we needed to go back from here. We had been running for a while now. I turned around and began trotted back to the spot we came before.I was able to smell my own scent and the scent of Melissa to track back the path we had came. Melissa stayed at my flank allowing me time to understand and trust my senses and my wolf. Who was amazing. After a few moments I felt confident enough that we began a slight jog back to our picnic area and towards
