Game of Destiny

Chapter 12-1

How am I supposed to help Amle through her first shift when no on has told her what to expect? It’s upon her and I don’t know if we have time to explain it all, feel my anger rise at how unfair it is to her. Hasn’t she suffered enough? When she told me the real reason why she had left her old pack, it almost broke my heart. I had known her for a couple of days and I already know she is an amazing wolf. How someone who has grown up with her can’t see it will never know. Her story had also pained me in a whole other way, a way that wasn’t the least logical. She had found her mate, it meant she wasn’t my mate. Which I knew. If she had been, I would have known as soon as I saw her in the diner. But somehow, a small part held out hope. Maybe because she didn’t have her wolf, it hadn’t clicked into place. It was stupid; I knew it didn’t work like that. But a part of me had held out hope, growing a little stronger with each new thing 1 learned about her. It didn’t make sense to be bitter at the moon goddess because she had paired Amie with someone so unworthy of her, instead of pairing her with e. But now was not the time to sulk over it. Amie needed me. She needed the pack. She may not be one of us, but I had hoped she would become one. And no matter what she decided, the first shift was hard and confusing. It was better to have a pack around you. I took her hand and she looked at me.

“Come, let’s go into the woods and I will tell you,” I said. She nodded and got up on shaky legs, Aunt Matilda walked on her other side and the two of us made sure she was steady. Argund us, the pack walked. The ones that had got to know her, walked closest to us. I saw Medow holding a blanket and smiled. They would be there for Amie.

“Let’s stop in the clearing ahead,” my aunt said. I nodded. It was large enough and the forest floor was covered in soft moss. It was a good place.

“Amie, look at me,” I said, and she lifted her forest green eyes to me. “The first shift is not comfortable. Your body temperature will go up to speed up the changes to your body. There will be cramping in your muscles as they start to change. You will feel the bones breaking and rearranging. It isn’t fun, but it’s usually quick once it starts. Once the first time is over, it will never feel like that again. The next time you will hardly feel it,” I explained and saw her eyes grow big with fear.

“It will be fine, child. You are not alone. We will be with you,” my aunt said and guided Amie to sit down. I sat down next to her on the forest floor. She was looking around and her eyes stopped on Cadence.

“Even the pups?” she asked.

“Yes, they need to see and understand so they can be prepared when it’s their turn.” She nodded and closed her eyes as a tremor wrecked through her body. I felt helpless as I could do nothing for her. I had guided several of our younger pack members through their first change. But I had never felt like this before. Maybe it was because she was so unprepared, or maybe because I felt like life had handed her a bad hand until now. I don’t know why, but I struggled with keeping calm. The only thing stopping me from acting out was the knowledge that Amie needed my calm.

Matilda said. There were soft chuckles from the pack. Most wolves would rip through their clothes one time or another. Nudity wasn’t as big of a deal in werewolf society. But we still avoided going around naked if it could be avoided. Matilda and Medow had helped Amie to stand and were helping her undress. The pack was looking away out of respect and even I lowered my eyes to give her some privacy. When she sank down to the ground

Chapter 12-2

her porcelain skin began to disappear under thick fur. Pelore I knew it, the woman had been replaced by a wolf. The only thing visible was its head which was sticking out from the blanket. She was beautiful. The fur around her hate and eyes were a light strawberry blond and got darker the further away from the face it got. I could hardly wait to see the rest of her. “Amie, can you try to sit up?” I asked, knowing it was confusing to be in your other body the first time. She blinked at me with the same green eyes as always and sat up. She swayed a little, but soon became steady. The blanket pooled around her and all got our first look at what hopefully would be our new pack member. Her body was covered in dark red fur, the tip of
