Addy’s POVTonight, is the night, at midnight I will meet my wolf and I will get to shift for the first time. I am so excited and so nervous. The rain had finally let up, and the moon was going to be full tonight. It was the absolutely perfect time to shift.I spent the day hanging out with Emily and Tristan at home. Tristan said he wanted me to rest up because tonight would take a lot of my energy. So, we spent the day watching movies and eating pizza. Around ten he sent me up to get ready. It was tradition to wear white on your shift night. I had a beautiful white sundress to wear, and I left my hair hang down in soft waves. As I finished getting dressed there was a knock on the door.“Come in.”“You look beautiful.” Tristan had a smile on his face as he looked me over. He walked over and put his hands on my shoulders. &ldqu
Tristan’s POV After we got home, Addy went straight to bed. A first shift is always exhausting, and I knew she needed the rest. Emily and I walked to the living room, and she curled up on the couch next to me. We didn’t say anything for a long time, both of us lost in thought of what we witnessed tonight. “She was glowing right? I am not going crazy am I?” Emily asked as she turned to look back at me. I reached up and brushed a piece of hair out of her face than cupping it. “No, love. You are not crazy. I saw it too, when she took off she was…glowing, and moving faster than anything I have ever seen.” “Yeah, she was…fast. What do you think she means by she is special?” “I don’t know. I mean, I told you about my mom meeting the moon goddess, and how she said that Addy would hold special powers. I think maybe they are going to be greater than we expected. I don’t know. I don’t know if any of us really know what to expect.” I rubbed my hand down my face right as I heard m
Addy’s POVI squinted my eyes open with bright light beaming into my room. I rolled over to look at the clock and noticed it was already noon. I blinked my eyes, trying to see if I was reading the clock correctly when a knock sounded on my door. I looked up towards the door to see Emily stepping in quietly.“Good afternoon, Sunshine,” she beamed at me. “Did you sleep well?”I rubbed my eyes, before sitting up and smiling back at her. “Yes, very well. You were not joking about how the first shift is exhausting.” I mumbled through my grogginess.“It gets better. The next time you shift it won’t take as much energy.” She supplies walking further into the room, sitting down on the edge of the bed.“So, today is a big day,” She smiles at me. I give her a small smile, still groggy and my heart slumps at the thought of what I was missing. “Is Braxton and Aaron back?” I can’t help the words from tumbling out of my mouth. I am trying not to sound disappointed, but I miss them, I miss
Braxton’s POVWe had been traveling for over 12 hours. We left early this morning to get back in plenty of time for Addy’s party, only to be met with every road washed away or completely blocked by debris. Aaron and I traveled to the north side of the territory where we would find the only roads that lead back into our territory that were not washed away. Cell service was spotty at best up here, so I wasn’t even able to send out any calls or text messages. We were just a few miles out of our territory before I was able to get enough service to text Tristan. Braxton: Just a few miles out. Is the party over?Tristan: Yeah, just finished up. Braxton: Shit. Did Addy go home or is she staying at the pack house?Tristan: She’s staying at the packhouse tonight. Braxton: Thanks man. I will see you tomorrow.Tristan: See you tomorrow. Good LuckI couldn’t bite back my smile. The thought of being able to wrap Addy up in my arms tonight made me want to jump out of this truck and shift
Addy’s POVI threw on some clothes and came barreling out of the room. Aaron looks panicked as he looks over at me behind Brax’s shoulder. Brax turns towards me, with anger in his eyes. I know its not directed at me, but a shiver still runs down my spine.“What do we know?” I ask as I walk up beside Brax.“You are going to go to the safe room and stay there until this over. Tristan is already leading the front lines. We…”“I’m sorry, What!?” I cut him off. I didn’t give a shit at this moment if he was my mate or my alpha. Right now, he was just being a jerk. “Addy, you can’t be out there.” I could see the tension in his body, and we were wasting time standing here talking.“The hell I can’t!” I start walking pass them both out into the hallway. There was no way he was going to stop me. I was one of our top warriors before I got my wolf, now having her, I was even stronger. I had only taken a few strides down the hallway when I was lifted into the air and thrown over a shoul
Braxton’s POVI stand there looking at the door, listening to her yell at me, “Braxton! Don’t you dare!” I put my hand on the door and whisper to her, “I love you, Moon.” I turn back towards the door to see Aaron standing there with his arms crossed. “You know she is going to kill you right?”I grunt at him as I stride past him. “I don’t have a choice; this is the only way to protect her. We have to protect her at all costs.” “Never said I didn’t agree with protecting her, but she is going to kill you. If we don’t die before that.” He shrugs at me as we step onto the back patio of the packhouse. The decorations are still up from Addy’s party, I was about to mate and mark her before this, now it’s all been taken away. My anger intensifies as I think about how these scum of the earth rouges interrupted my first night with my mate. “She will get over it.” I growl as I pull my shirt off and drop my pants to shift, not fully convinced I will get over what has been taken away from
Hurt Addy’s POV “Addy, Tristan was hurt. He is in surgery…” I didn’t even let him finish his words before I pushed past him and started running towards the hospital. My mind was in a complete frenzy as I took off down the stairs and out the back door. I was still scared to know about Braxton and the girls. Praying everyone was alright, but right now, I had to get to my brother. Right as I ran through the back door, I run directly into a hard chest. I stumbled back a few steps, as large arms wrapped around me. I looked up into Braxton’s eyes. My fear immediately changed into anger, before I could even think about what I was doing. I took a step back, out of his arms, and I flung my arm connecting a sharp slap to his cheek. “You are an asshole.” I didn’t wait for a response, before turning on my heels and heading straight to the hospital. I had to get to my brother. He had to be okay. He just had to be. I couldn’t lose him too. I got the hospital quickly, and as soon as
Addy’s POV “Addy run to the packhouse and get to the lockdown room.” My dad yells at me as we are running out of our house. It’s midnight and our pack is under attack from rouges. “Dad no, I can’t leave you.” “Addy I am not asking; I command you to go.” I watch as my dad turns back around and runs into the fight. I haven’t shifted yet, so I can’t fight. I start running towards the packhouse when I am cut off by a rouge. My dad suddenly tackles the rouge down and rips his throat out. I look around and see more rouges starting to come towards us. He gets between me and the rouges, several other warriors build a barrier between the rouges and me. My dad turns to yell at Gamma Blake, “Take the Luna to the packhouse NOW!” I look around looking for Luna Maria and I don’t see her, suddenly I feel Gamma Blake throw me over his shoulder and carry me to the packhouse. Why is Gamma Blake carrying me, Dad said to take the Luna? I look back up over Gamma Blakes shoulder and see m
