"The moon moves slowly, but it gets across the town." ~ Ghanaian Proverbs
I felt this overpowering need to get to my mate, I needed to be with her, the need was burning in me to get to her and get to her fast, I could feel her pain and distress. I have been following the brother all day long, but now my first concern was with my mate, my mate was in trouble, something was seriously wrong with her and I needed to get there fast.
The mate bond was strong, which was surprising, I have never before heard of wolves being able to feel each other’s feelings before being mated, but I could. I saw the kid running and I followed behind him. The fucker was really fast, I was the fastest in the pack, and I couldn’t keep up with him. By the time I got to the house he was already inside. I felt my mate’s pain and I could sense her anguish; she was really scared. I didn’t care anymore to stay out of sight. I ran into the house. I was kicking down doors, trying to get to her faster. I quickly scanned the areas I ran through.
At the stop of the stairs, I could feel her anguish. I slammed open the door, and found her lying on the floor, lying in foetal position, holding her stomach. The next thing I knew I was being picked up by my chest and try as I might, I was able to get free from his hold. I couldn’t get the kid to let go. He was already stronger than any wolf I have ever come across. I am 6foot4 and huge for him to be able to do this at not even full strength yet, scared, scared me a lot.
I started to shout at him “I can help. Let me go, I can help please”
I was getting annoyed all I wanted to do was get to my mate and he was standing in my way.
“Who are you”
“I can explain later, let me take a look at your sister first”
The boy still had me in his grip, but he loosened it a little, he was torn between protecting his sister and helping his sister.
“How can I trust a guy I don’t even know with my sister”
I felt reconciled to the fact that I was going to have to explain this to him and fast.
“I know why you are changing; I can help, let go, let me help your sister”
I could see the decision was made, his concern for her overrode everything else. He let go and I ran straight to my mate.
“What’s her name”
“Isla”
My wolf felt excited being this near to her and hearing her name. She looked up at me and with just one word from her I knew what was happening
“Mate”
“Yeah,
Isla baby I’m your mate, I’m here to help you, okay”
She just nodded her head, accepting everything I said, our mate bond was really strong, stronger than I have ever seen with any other wolves.
The boy immediately got suspicious again, my mate looked at him and growled.
“Let him help us, Dave”
So that’s his name.
He looked me straight in the eye
“What’s happening to her”
“She is changing. She, she is becoming a wolf, I actually thought you would be first, but I guess you’re keeping your wolf and complete change at bay because your one of the strongest wolves I have ever come across.”
David looked really shocked and very worried; he turned his face to his sister with a very anxious look.
“Just help her, we’ll talk later”
I looked at David and Isla and exhaled, I knew what he was about to say was not
going to go down well, I was also worried with the boy’s reaction. But I knew this had to be said.
“You don’t understand, we can only ease her transition, but she is going to go through it no matter what”
David was getting agitated again and I knew I had to calm him down, or I was going to
be in deep s**t, this guy was powerful.
“So, how do you ease her transition then; just help her for f**k sake”
I looked down at his feet and back up to David
“You’re not going to like this”
“Just do it, help her out of this pain she’s in”
I started getting undressed. I saw his shocked expression and held up my hand asking him to give me a minute here.
This is not how I wanted the first meeting with my mate to go; with her crazed brother looming over me, while I'm basically naked.
David immediately grabbed me by the arm, sticking his face right in my face.
“Look David, I’m her mate, which means just by being close to me, by our skins touching she automatically calms down, which means that the transformation she is going through right now will be more bearable”
David looked livid like he was going to fight me on this, but that all changed when Isla screamed out in pain. He gestured to me to go ahead. He looked a little panicked.
The change in Isla was immediate, my touch relaxed her, I tried to get as much of our skins touching as possible and just held her, David looked confused. I could see the questions forming on his lips. I hugged Isla closer and stared at him “We’ll speak later”
Isla
was completely relaxed now; she was lying on my chest and I was stroking her
hair. Every couple of seconds she would still whine but I just kept on
stroking her hair and arm and she would stop.
I stared at David and David knew something was coming, and he wasn’t going to like it. But after the day they had he at least looked willing to listen.
I sighed then proceeded to speak.
“David, I can feel her emotions, and her wolf is starting to surface. In the next couple of seconds she is going to change into her wolf, it’s going to be very painful and I won’t be able to help her, she has to do the change alone, after the change, she is going to be scared and confused. She is going to run. I will then change with her so that I can try to communicate through our mate link, and I will go with her. I will bring her home, safe as soon as she has changed back. It could take a couple of hours. You must get
your mother here because after I bring her home, we must talk. I will tell you what I know, I think your mother will be able to help us fill in the blanks.
David nodded his head as he stared at his sister. I could see he was feeling very frustrated, scared, and helpless. His emotions were raw and I could see the emotions on his face, but I could only focus on her now.
The next couple of seconds happened very quickly, Isla’s nails started to grow, and her bones started to c***k and break, the change looked excruciating, but it was also beautiful in some way. After her change a stunning white wolf with a silver strip running from the beginning of her head right to the end of her tail, was standing in front of us. The wolf’s eyes were also big and blue
like Isla’s, but there was thick silver ring on the outside. David was speechless and stunned. He stumbled backward and slid down the wall.
I stared at her and I could only utter one word before I changed into my wolf “beautiful”.
I caught a glimpse of Isla and my reflection in the mirror next to her bed. The contrast between the big brown wolf with some scarring and the white and silver wolf was evident, the one was all beauty and the other emanated power and strength and had a lot of war scars. I quickly looked away, worrying that I would be enough.
I stared back at Isla. Isla looked confused and jumped from the second storey window and I followed her.
The last thing I saw as I jumped was David flipping open his cell phone and calling his mom.
