Seven and then Me..
CHAPTER ONE
Now the only time that a female
werewolf gives birth in wolf form, to give birth to real live pups. Is when the female werewolf is under extreme stress, which considering her family had just ended a 50yr war, with the marriage of our mother all the seperated territories came together (but not for long.) So kinda of a little stress (or a lot,) and it also happens when the female werewolf is having more then twin's, which our mother was having eight.
According to the royal families our mother was to give birth to the famous 7 pups, one of which was destined to be mated to their son, who was to be born on the same day our mother gave birth to us.
It was apparently written somewhere in one of the castles chambers, if our mother was mated to one of two alpha's she would give birth to the famous seven pups. The seven pups were rumoured to be born with magical powers that would bridge all the kingdoms together reunite them all again and outstanding colours, that would spread throughout the lands, not just the painful, boring, plain colours that the war turned everything after it started. (even the living plants and wild life were not the same they use to be.
So yeah I guess there was no pressure on our mother at all. But with the added pressure that our mother was not going to be mated to her true mate, see her parents didn't know who their daughter was destined to be (as her mark from the goddess didn't show until her first trimester of her first pregnancy) so they traded her for land, to the scariest, murderous and most deadliest pack on the lands.
The Carious Pack.
Now don't let the name fool you like it did to most packs who crossed them. Our mother's father thought they were nothing but a pack full of pansies and fools with no backbone and no balls, so he thought he could do whatever he wanted to them and they would not retaliate. Only to find out that they were nothing but ruthless, cruel and deadly with your back turned or not. (they didn't care if you were going to watch them kill your entire family then kill you)
When it came down to the deal, our mother was sold to the alpha of the Carious Pack, to do as he pleases in order to keep a truce, with our mother's pack, give them land and save his own skin because no one would touch his pack with the teaming up of the two packs.
But when our mother and her entire family and guards came to deliver there end of the deal, the alpha's son saw our mother for the first time and when she lifted her head and they locked eyes, the sparks flew as they both found out that they were destined to be mates. But her mate also saw the horrible conditions his mate, (our mother,) was in. She apparently looked like she was so close to her death bed it was not funny, he was surprised that she was even able to stand on her own two legs, that was until she fainted from exhaustion.
So what else would a newly mated alpha-to-be do? What any mated wolf would do, kill our mother's entire family and guards right there next to her limp body. After shaking his hand and sealing the deal, he simply and swiftly completely decapitated our grandfather's head.
Mother was just getting used to being mated to the man who killed her entire family when thirteen months later, she was pregnant. She was over the moon to be having a baby but when the doctors saw her mark on her lower back area, (a pure white lily, perfect in colour and shape,) they said that she may not last the birthing process, let alone the pregnancy because she was having a full litter of seven pups.
It had never been heard of before, that was until the royal advisers told the King and Queen about what was foreseen by the goddess, they gave my mother and father a few old scrolls of prophecies, they stopped reading threw them when that found out about the famous seven But not mother and her best friend Nikita kept reading all of them.
After all being fated to bring the famous seven pups would have many hurdles and risks. Our mother and Nikita kept on reading and planning for every possible out come, Nikita once told me that mother stayed up all night once, making little coloured boxes for each of her pups. She said that found out information about each of her fated children and wrote us all a letter explaining everything to us, a photo of us as newly born pups and human babies, one with us all together in both forms with her wolf, she put a lock of her hair and one lock of her wolf's fur, a photo of her and father, a few gifts that I am sure had meaning to her, she also put a lock of our baby wolf fur in each box. Plus we each had a scroll explaining each of our prophecies to us in full detail, the only one mother was waiting for was me, the extra one but mother knew something about me, something only her and Nikita knew, something that I wouldn't find out until my 15th birthday. (when I had to run away from my own family.)
It was almost like she knew, she would not make it, she knew she would not be able to watch us grow up. She was weak as it was from all the I'll treatment she had endured growing up, (like mother like daughter I guess) she was not coping well with the pregnancy so when the doctor found out that there was eight pups and not seven, everyone started to worry. They were worried if mother could handle the extra pup (me), if mother could survive with the extra pup (me), but our father only worried if the other pups would still have the powers destined for them with the extra pup (again me). With a dying wish mother made Nikita promise to hold onto the boxes for us, until we were old enough to receive them. on our 22nd birthday was when she wanted us to have them. (but Nikita had to bend the rules for me, as neither of them foreseen or planned for the way I would be treated.)
That was also when the doctors said that it would be safer if mother stayed in wolf form during the rest of the time she was pregnant, as it would be safer for her and her pups, which also meant all us pups would be born in our wolf form as well. It had never been done or heard of before but they had the best of the best working around the clock for what would be safer for everyone. But mother was very insistent on having a private birthing, with just herself, Nikita and a hand full of doctors and nurses.
When it came to the birthing, our mother had arranged everything and I mean everything before she had to turn onto her wolf. She agreed to having their normal doctor there and a midwife (who was Nikita) who was going to be in the room for mother's wolf only pack members her wolf trusted had to be there, as it was her going to go through it. After getting the all clear from mother's wolf we were sent to a crib to be checked by Nikita to make sure everything was okay with us but we had to be returned as soon as Nikita was done checking us. We would apparently turn within a hour after the last pup being born and not get our wolves back until we matured or needed them.
So no one would try to fight mother over her choice she said it was because she didn't want anyone to know about our wolves until we get them back, as they might change and not be what everyone was expecting them to be. But really she didn't want anyone to know what I ended up looking like, incase I was special. She knew I was going to be special. And she knew that I needed to be kept a secret from this pack before any of them found out how special I am.
As we were each born details were written down and notes were taken by Nikita, what order we came in, what colour fur we each had, where we had different spots of colour and photos were taken, with each ones information written on them. A photo of us all playing and feeding from our mother's wolf. Then another photo when we all shifted into our human baby form's front and back, and then one each of our goddess marks that they found on our lower back like mother's and the details of them.
The first born, Harry, his wolf was black with blue spots and tips with the blue carried to his eyes, it almost looked like lighting flashing through them. When he shifted, he had short midnight blue black hair, blue eyes. He was always mean to me, out of them all he was the worst, he bullied me, he bashed me, a few of the others just went along with it in fear they would be put down as low as me. His goddess mark was midnight blue with deep black out lining the petals of the lily.
Next was Damian, he was green with silver patches. When he shifted he had short jet black hair with strong angry green eyes. Looked up to Harry to much, he was just as cruel and then some, he was killed at only 12 because of me. His goddess mark was bright green with bright silver out lining the petals of the lily.
Then was Luke, he was black with thick stripes of yellow all over his body. When he shifted he had golden blonde hair like our mother (although he did not get her length like I did) only he had a slight tinge of green going through his, with almost golden eyes, just like our father (only not as stern or cold). He protected me whenever he could, he would come visit me and spend so much time trying to cheer me up and bring extra water, to wash with and to drink. And then one dreadful day he had to defend my honour with CJ, when I couldn't. His goddess mark was glittering gold with deep black out lining the petals of the lily.
Then CJ, Chris Johnathan really but he liked being called CJ, his wolf had silver fur with orange lightening looking stripes on his ribs. When he shifted he had silver hair with the same orange lightening stripes, he also had little sparks of orange going through his greyish eyes. He would sneak in some extra food for me that was not just scraps, some of the food he brought was amazing, and he had to defend my honour and kill kids, one was our brother Damian. His goddess mark was blood orange with silver out lining the petals of the lily.
Next was Elizabeth, her wolf was black with red dots on her fur. When she shifted her hair was a blood red with streaks of black and red eyes that glowed whenever she was angry. She purely hated me because she blamed me for mother's death alone. She never felt bad for all the pain she had caused me and watched me go through. Her goddess mark was bright blood red with thick black lines outlining the petals of the lily.
Then came Ashley, her wolf was silver and pink. When she shifted she had electric pink streaks through her hair and eyes. She was a complete snob, who just did what ever she wanted or had to, just so she got it her way or what she wanted, she always gave the impression like she thought she was better than everyone else, to good to think for herself. Her goddess mark was electric pink with silver outlining the petals of the lily.
Then the last pup before I was born was Azaria, she was black and purple, she hated what our family has done to me, she brings medical supplies everytime one of our siblings hurt me to much. She comes up with a plan to get me out of here but I am not sure if I have the courage to do it. I have been trapped for 13yrs of my life, used and abused for what ever purpose our family would be offered by other pack members or even wolves from other packs. Her goddess mark was midnight purple with glittering silver outlining of the petals of the lily.
Then me, the extra pup. My whole life has always said my wolf's fur was a dirt brown, nothing special like my siblings. After I shifted my eyes and hair went plain boring brown as well.
I had no goddess mark.
I was nothing special.
Or was I?
