It was different having Reese, Laura, and Clara all in my room, primping and adjusting everything on me. I was so used to being alone and throwing on whatever was comfortable but today was not that day. This was the day I met my wolf. I could feel her more and more and began to wonder if she was ever going to talk to me or if it would be just a feeling. I wanted to ask everyone in the room but because nobody ever told me before I’d assumed it must just be a feeling as I had never caught anyone the entire time I lived with all of these white wolves and heard them talking alone to somebody else. Reese was working on my hair creating some sort of fishtail and Sophia was putting on some light makeup while Clara and Laura fussed over my dress. “Um, Kellina did you put red in your hair?” “What no, I don’t know what you mean?” Everyone stopped and went to see what Laura was looking at leaving me facing forward unable to see what was happening. I heard gasps across the room. “Um,
I peeked out in the garden and then did another double take. There stood a woman with beautiful fire red curly hair wearing a red dress to boot that fell just below her knees. It took me a moment to recognize but then it hit me where’d I seen her before? “Laura, is that the red priestess of our pack?” “Genius,” Caroline stated. “Yes, Kellina it is. You need to go introduce yourself. “ She grabbed my hand and then Reese’s. “Okay, this is all up to you two. We go no further. We will be watching from the sidelines but you two will need to keep it all together on your own.” I was terrified and wanted to beg and plead for her to come with us but I knew she was right and the one part about all of this is I didn’t want to let her down so I nodded. “Group hug, please?” Reese squealed and everyone fell in squeezing me till I thought I’d burst. “Wait! Stop! We are going to wrinkle her dress!” Clara forcefully pulled everyone away as we all joined in chuckling to ourselves. “Kellina
“Kellina, the Alpha family has just arrived and I was asked to come to get you,” Margo stated simply without demand yet we both knew it was. “Okay, Margo, thank you,” and before she walked away, I finished it out, “for everything.” She turned back and nodded reassuring me she understood. If it wasn’t for Margo this would not be happening and I knew I would owe her something someday in return for this. I vowed in my mind to be sure never to forget it. “Oooh, this is so exciting!” Reese squealed. “I cannot wait to see Rogan’s face when he sees you. This is like the unveiling of a bride and groom!” She squealed again pulling me towards where they would likely enter. My stomach filled with butterflies and I felt myself shaking so nervous he would be terrified of what he saw when he looked at me. The family was already there greeting the High Priestess as Reese and I arrived. He looked up at me and our eyes met. I saw him do a quick once over and then his masculine mouth spr
Dinner began and we were all given the option of salad and soup to start before the main course. I chose the soup and requested more wine which I drank quickly causing Sophia to whisper in my ear as she poured me another glass, “A little slower my sweet girl.” I nodded at her then felt the glare of the High Priestess and Sophia quickly whisked herself away back to standing surrounding our table. There were all my lovely fellow priestesses standing around me as if they were statues while we all ate. I hated it and tried to imagine what it would be like if they could sit here with us too. They deserved it far more than I and especially the High Priestess did. These women had protected me more than I knew and were just as trapped. I took a long moment looking around the space taking their faces in because once my hair was revealed I wasn’t sure if I would ever see these women who raised me again. I took especially a long look at my beautiful sweet mother with her hair in a simple br
With dinner complete, we made our way with the High Priestess’s instructions past the dining area and further back into the garden was a wide-open space full of flowers and candles to light us all but the candles weren’t complete needed as the moon shined down more clearly in this area than any other part of the property. There were chairs set up on both sides of a middle aisle for me to walk down and I stayed back waiting to be presented to everyone. Reese was beside me and I was grateful for the support. “Kellina, Rogan couldn’t stop asking questions but I wasn’t sure what to say.” She said as soon as we were out of the High Priestess’s earshot. “Reese, did you tell him about my hair?” I was keeping my fingers crossed she had because I thought that was something he needed to have a heads up on. “Well, I was worried others would hear.” She looked down ashamed. I turned to her desperate to not shock him and prepare him for the worst because I was so unsure if my hair was
I was terrified to walk down the aisle and wasn’t sure what to do but the Alpha had told me to approach and I knew I could not deny his command. Everyone was still standing now and smiling except the High Priestesses whose face was as red as Sarah's, the Red Priestess's hair at this point. She had tried a few more times to say something but the Alpha completely ignored her and smiled at the guests and me. As I walked it brought joy to my face to see so many of the priestesses' faces and all looked as though they were excited about the future. I wanted to be as excited as them but also knew it may not be the same for me. I was terrified of what was going to be unveiled and as Reese walked behind me proudly as my chaperone, I stopped at the end waiting for her to go stand by Rogan. He greeted her and continued to smile at me as if he had won just now but there was so much more he didn’t even know that had happened. I gave him a glance doing my best to take as much of him in as poss
“Oh Kellina, my dear please wake up.” I heard my mother’s voice but it still felt distant. “You did it dearly and you are beautiful.” “Mother...” I opened my eyes and saw Laura smiling down at me but it did not seem the same as my eyes were tilted differently. It was then I realized I was now in my wolf. I felt my body turn and stand up with my new paws and look around seeing the smiling Sophia, Clara, Caroline, Margo, and my beautiful mother. “Okay dear just wait, and we will turn and we can show you how to handle your new form.” They stepped back and I knew were about to undress. I took the moment to listen and could still hear excitement only louder and clearer with my wolf hearing. I felt stronger than I’d ever felt and could feel my tail wag excitedly as I wanted to go and show the world. I wanted to show Rogan but then I saw that face of his again and I wasn’t sure if I was ready. I waited patiently for the others but I could still hear her damn screaming. “I will not
The air was cool and crips against my fur. I allowed my wolf to guide me and she was loving every minute of it. I had hoped we would talk at some point and but for now just feeling her emotions was enough. She was joyful, energetic, and much stronger. I followed closely behind the Alpha and Luna as we made our way into the woods where you could no longer see the White Priestesses’ home. So much had happened and I wasn’t even sure where to begin. My mind was racing about what it looked like when we got back but right now my pack was following tradition and it was traditional to run after the first time you turned wolf with members of your pack. “Kellina try to enjoy this.” Laura put in my head “What how do you know I’m not?” “My dear, your whimpering.” She said concerned “I can’t hear it.” “You will soon enough as your wolf and you develop a larger bond, you will be able to do far more than you will ever know Kellina,” Sarah interjected. I wasn’t sure if I was e
