Episode 3

The Ball was going wonderfully, and so far, there was no sign of my mate. Still, I was having a lot of fun with my sister and our friends on the dance floor. The clock was approaching midnight, and the light was full and glorious. I abruptly stopped dancing when I felt a pain in all my bones. I was agitated and panting.

Cora - Enna? Enna, are you alright?

Enna - It's not me, dear.

Cora - Then what....

?? - Calm down, Cora, don't be alarmed, it's me, Aylla, your wolf.

Cora - By the Moon, Aylla, I was so eager to meet you.

Aylla - Me too, but we'll have time to talk. Right now, I need you to stay calm, breathe, and go to the forest.

Cora - The Transformation is about to begin?

Aylla - Yes.

Cora - But the pain is worse without a mate.

Aylla - Don't worry, he's on his way. I just need you to hold on a little longer until he arrives.

Cora - Do you think I can?

Aylla - Of course you can. I'm here to help you.

Enna - I'll also do what I can to help.

Cora - Thank you so much, girls.

I look around trying to find my dad when suddenly I hear a shrill scream and see my sister falling to her knees on the floor. I try to run to her but I can't move, it seems that if I walk my bones will fall apart like Lego, the pain runs through my body, it's definitely awful. Dad runs towards Bella.

Leon - Daughter, are you okay?

Bella - My wolf, Dad, Ivy woke up.

Leon - Don't worry, Dad will take you to the forest.

Bella - I'm very scared, it hurts a lot.

Bella starts crying desperately and seeing my sister like this breaks my heart, and unfortunately what she feared most is happening, going through the first transformation without a mate. While Dad carries Bella to the forest, Mom realizes that I'm very still and trying to regulate my breathing and comes to me.

Helena - Daughter? Has your wolf woken up too?

I nod in affirmation, and her eyes widen.

Helena - By the Moon, I begged the goddess so much not to happen at the same time.

Mom calls my childhood friend Erick to take me to the forest and he promptly picks me up, and I can't hold back the scream, that's not my mate's touch and it makes my whole body burn and the pain only gets worse.

Erick - Hold on tight, kitten, I'll run as fast as I can.

Cora - Please, hurry, it's burning.

Erick starts running towards the forest with my mom right behind us, but they stop when we hear a menacing growl, there was so much dominance that Erick falls to his knees with his head down, Mom doesn't feel it because she's a Lunna and I because I'm an Alpha. Erick holds me tighter so I don't fall which causes me more pain, I start to squirm in his arms, until I smell the most wonderful scent of my life, citrusy, woody, something exotic but captivating, Enna and Aylla stir and whimper and I open my eyes to see what was happening and I see a man growling and running towards us and looking like he was ready to dismember someone, Shit!

Cora - Erick, let me go now.

Erick - I can't, I need to take you to the forest.

Cora - By the Moon, Erick, put me down and step away.

Erick - But...

Cora - No buts, now go.

Erick does what I say, puts me on the ground and the man stops growling, Erick manages to get up and steps away, standing next to my mom. The man comes close, crouches down, looks me in the eyes and at that moment my whole world stops and I even forget the pain and dive into the blackness of his eyes, I only come back to myself when I hear his voice.

?? MINE, MY MATE

ENNA / AYLLA - OUR MATE

He smiles and what a smile and only then I realize who he is by the goddess.

Cora - SUPREME THEODORO??!!

But there wasn't even time for him to answer because the pain comes back with everything and I scream.

Theodoro - First the forest, then the presentation.

I nod, he picks me up and with his touch everything becomes bearable, I snuggle into his arms looking for more of the peace that his touch gave me, he gets up and starts walking, Mom follows us and when Erick was also going to follow us Theodoro turns around and growls.

Theodoro - NOT YOU!!!

I put my hand on his face and look at him.

Cora - He's my friend and he was just helping me get to the forest.

He looks at me and his look softens.

Theodoro - Sorry for taking so long to arrive.

Cora - The important thing is that you're here now.

He kisses my forehead and we head to the forest, I continue to feel a lot of pain but when we arrive at the clearing I was terrified with what I saw, Bella was desperately rolling on the ground, under the moonlight, screaming, writhing, her hair and clothes dishevelled and Dad trying to calm her down, Mom runs to try to help in vain. Despair starts to take over me, I'm shaking, sweating, breathing fast.

Cora - I'm going to freak out.

Theodoro - I'm here and I'm going to help you.

Theodoro walks with me to where my sister is under the moonlight, my dad when he looks at him his eyes widen, if I could I would laugh a lot at his face but I can't, when the moonlight touches my skin the pain gets worse on an astronomical level, if I'm feeling this in my mate's lap imagine away from him, I can't hold back the screams and tears.

Cora - Please, please don't let me goooo.

Theodoro - I don't want to let you go but I need to put you on the ground, so the transformation will be faster.

Cora - No!!!

Theodoro - I need you to trust me, I won't leave your side, and I'll hold your hand all the time, okay?

Cora - Okay.

I didn't want to but I also can't look like a spoiled girl, it's time to show my mate that I'm strong, I'm a warrior, I can handle it. He puts me on the ground with all the care and the absence of his touch makes the pain unbearable, my screams become louder and mix with my sister's, I try to hold her hand but it's impossible because it also burns and Bella lets go of my hand, Theodoro sits on the ground, holds my hand and caresses my hair, with his touch I can reason and I'm being guided by the sound of his voice.

Theodoro - Breathe deeply, don't fight the pain, the more you fight the longer it will take, pass the command to your wolf and let her awaken.

It's difficult but I manage to do what Theodoro says, I communicate with the girls to help me and Aylla takes control, and that's when things get really serious I hear cracks from my bones, they are all breaking at the same time. Theodoro does exactly what he told me and doesn't leave my side, always encouraging me, I look to the side and see that Bella is finishing her transformation, Mom managed to calm her down thanks to the goddess, at that moment I feel my body change shape, my face lengthens giving way to the muzzle, my hands and feet turn into paws, fur comes out of my skin and like a magic trick all the pain disappears, I look at my mate who is with a wide beautiful smile looking at me with admiration, I see that Bella has already run away and I try to stand up but I can't.

Theodoro - Calm down my little wolf, let's go slowly.

He gets up and with his help I manage to stand up when I fix myself alone, he goes behind the tree and comes back transformed into his black wolf, we walk side by side slowly and when I realize I'm running the feeling is wonderful, I feel free...
