Episode 2

"Were you calling me, Mom?" she asked when she arrived in the living room with Gissel.

"Yes, dear, sit down," I do as they say, confused, "and you too, Gissel." My friend sits beside me, just as confused as I am.

"Honey, I don't know where we're going to start, but what I want is for you to be calm, please," Dad says, scaring me.

"The Alpha triplets have contacted us—the mansion of those wolves makes my blood boil. How dare they?—They want us to meet them in the pack."

"What?" I shoot up. "You didn't accept, did you?"

"Not yet, dear. We wanted to tell you first and know what you think."

"I think they're shameless and I have no intention of going back to that pack," I say, sitting down again. Mom and Dad look at each other, and I understand what they want to do.

"Daughter, we know how resentful you are towards the Golden Moon pack, and we understand you, as we are too, but I think we should go," Dad says, trying to persuade me.

"I don't want to go, Dad. If you want, you two can go, but not me. I have nothing to do there, and I know that just seeing the triplets will make my anger flare up, and I don't want to make a mistake."

"Honey, you should go to see if you can find your mate and thus see if being with your partner you can shift," Mom says, leaving me thoughtful.

Normally, werewolves shift at sixteen, except for Alphas who shift at fourteen. But in my case, it was neither one nor the other, as I got my wolf but couldn't shift; my body can't handle it. We wolves shift on our sixteenth birthday or during every full moon, which happens every two months. And well, since I couldn't shift on my sixteenth birthday, I haven't been able to shift on any other day either.

"You have a very strong wolf, too strong for your body to handle the shift without the help of its mate," Dad says.

"That's why the changes," Gissel says. Mom and Dad look at her, confused. "Emma has had unusual changes: her eyes turned a more intense green, her hair color too, and her eyes turn red every time she gets angry." Mom and Dad look at me, surprised by the information Gissel just gave them.

I turn to look at my friend, who gives me an apologetic smile. I tried not to get angry so Mom and Dad wouldn't see about my eyes.

"Now that I see it, you're right, Gissel. But what's this about red eyes?" Dad asks.

"Well, when we were in Emma's room, I mentioned the triplets, and then she got angry, and that's when her eye color changed," Gissel explained.

Mom looks at me with excitement and turns to look at Dad, who doesn't understand where her excitement came from.

"Honey, you must be about to get your gift! How exciting! We must go to the pack and try to look to see if we can find your mate so he can help you shift, and then we'll visit my family so my mother or grandmother can help you develop your gift. What do you say?"

Gissel looks at me with obvious excitement, pleading with her eyes for me to accept. And I must admit, I would like to meet my mate to help me shift, and if going to the pack would help me find him, why not go? Besides, I can visit Mom's family and develop my gift. But on the other hand, going and running into the triplets makes my blood boil. I don't want to go and run into them, nor any member of that stupid pack. None of them were capable of helping my parents; on the contrary, they made my life miserable when I lived there, just because I was born weak like a human, or even weaker than a human.

"Alright, I'll go with you to the Golden Moon pack."
