The pain in my skull had stopped, but the memories were somehow more agonising. What I saw, proved that I was a Werewolf and also that I was an orphan. Neither my father, nor my mother had any siblings and so my only family remaining was West. Nice brother, he was. Kidnapping his sister and locking her up.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA1qQ2zWIa
But then more agony came. It wasn't in my head, though. My knees began to burn and forearms stung. I froze, more shocked then affected by the pain. A large crack echoed throughout the room and pain exploded in my joints, weakening my stance. I sunk down to my knees, screaming in agony. My heart raced and my blood burnt like fire in my veins.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttbv6XJH5N
"LUNA!" I yelled. "LUNA, SAVE ME!" The door swung open and several people bombarded in at once. One grabbed my hand and checked my pulse.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNhwkav4kC
"It's happening," he stated. I glanced down at my wrist and found a dark-skinned hand gripping it tightly. Some far away part of me recognised him. He was his friend, Martyn.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThWGVOnrzP
"Where's Liam?" I winced. I didn't know why, but I needed him to be with me. "I need... my Liam."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeOSfgeNQR
"What's happening?" another voice, vaguely familiar, asked. Bryan Mitchell, the back of my mind told me.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtIzz1fb2p
"She's shifting," Martyn answered, releasing my arm from his grip.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnnp22PgfE
"But, how?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHWMG0XEP3
"Liam," I groaned, my spine cracking. "Where's my Liam?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3OzfqfI4p
"That's how," he muttered. "Will must've strengthened her bond or something."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATBRoyiNdf
"Alpha is going to kill him when he finds out."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOq7r7W5qe
"Who am I going to kill?" a new voice demanded. I didn't even need to try to recognise who it belonged to. West Grayson. "What did you morons do to her?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsF6V4t0ln
"She's shifting," Martyn explained. "Her bones have just started to-"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi107SMrL3U
"How did this happen?" His voice was increasing in pitch, as he gradually lost his temper with them.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18eLZoqwkw
"It wasn't us!" Bryan exclaimed, a little too quickly.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ENlpuNZuR
"THEN WHO WAS IT?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2pb6D9PsK
"Me." 843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdkHxmVktR
The voice was calm and composed, contrasting West's outraged tone. He only said one word, but it was enough for the pain to evaporate, many times faster than it had arrived and I felt my heart return to its normal pace.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsXVAkbh7S
"Liam," I breathed.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhy3hCCddr
He ignored West entirely and kneeled beside me, slipping his hand into mine. My eyes locked with his and I could almost talk to him without words. 843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmpODohSnS
"You'll be alright, Lyn."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqlk5hiEk7
The pain practically vanished, as I began to lose myself in the endless storm in his eyes.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p6DGXT6WQ
"Do you know what's happening?" he whispered.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUPlBb7mSM
"I'm shifting?" My reply came out as a question rather than a statement. It was what Martyn had said repeatedly, but I wasn't sure of what it meant.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ifwcvDOu3
"Yes, Lyn. You're shifting... Shifting into a wolf, for the first time. Usually for a Gray Wolf, it first happens around 12 or so but since your wolf has been suppressed... It's resurfacing soon after the bond was recreated."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTwviRDPZV
"But it's not full moon..."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKkN2k5LVM
"Full moon has nothing to do with it," Martyn explained. "At least not for Gray Wolves. However, Brown Wolves are a different story. They-"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxhpYVlbR6
A sharp crack of pain attacked my joints and I screamed.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWces3YkQr
"It's only the first time that hurts," Liam assured me. "If you pass this... There's nothing better than being a Gray Wolf. You get insane speed, enhanced hearing, a strong sense of smell and tracking qualities along with it."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT63n8YPE6X
I opened my mouth to reply but found that I couldn't speak. A quiet whine fell from my lips and I felt a tear slide down my cheek.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKYNqP5cwo
"You've already started changing internally," he told me. "You won't be able to talk until you shift back." He ran his other hand through my hair and smiled sadly. "Look at me," he murmured. "You're going to get through this, Lyn... No matter what."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nQpRQ9mPX
I focused on him; only him.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPxQpJwG8I
Soon enough, the rest of the world seemed to fade away and all I could feel was his presence. Every cell and vein in my body ached for him... For his presence to be forever.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk17V268spp
"I love you, Weslyn."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7dWSW4OOy
"I love you, too, Liam."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKhrZQC2Lc
My voice was no longer a sound but rather, an echo in my head. I didn't even need to see my silvery-gray fur to realise that I had already shifted.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz6ukvxr8Y
I had shifted into a Gray Wolf.
