Peyton's POV:
5 years Earlier
For as long as I could remember on every birthday, I would wish to be a girl. Every time my sister, Yola, got a new glittery fluffy pink dress for her birthday, I would burn with envy. Every year I would get either the latest new toy cars, robots, condoms I got from my uncle one time that did come in handy when I was getting some but that is beside the point here. I longed for the tickets to the next Victoria Secret Fashion Show or my Disney Princess Theme Birthday Party. Don't get me wrong I'm not gay nor do I have anything against but we'll talk about my sexuality later right now we need to focus on the situation at hand, how am I gonna come out to my family and the entire pack. I have tried to come out at least a hundred, no two hundred no three, well you get the point I lost count after a while and I've also played an infinity times infinity scenario in my head but for now, we'll only talk about the top 3. Please turn your attention to the PowerPoint, I know there is no PowerPoint just visualize it, Dear Moon Goddess Selene.
Scenario 1. My mom would cry as my dad beats me to death and then the pack kicks me out you know the usual stuff you see in werewolf books.
Scenario 2: I get ripped to shreds and my pack leaves me for the crows to eat. I know scenarios 1 and two are a bit similar but in one I die in one I do you know the typical Titanic story except Rose dies and Jack lives if you get my point. Here's a quick explo(explanation), I should be Jack saving the girl but instead, I will be Rose and I let her go. So you following............ Cool.
Scenario 3: Everyone is chill about it, I get my Victoria Secret Fashion Show Tickets and my Disney Princess Theme Party, I am aware that I'll soon be 18 but who cares to stop hating on my dreams.
Back to the coming Out........
I stood on the podium ready to give my coming of age also known as my coming out speech. I took a deep breath and took a look down at the audience and landed right on Chloe, the pack sluts, boobs and that calmed me down a bit. I swear the way they bounce bee hypnotic but back to the matter at hand.
FOCUS PEYTON FOCUS!!!!!
I took one last look and started my speech.
*Time Skip*
" In conclusion, I would like to share a secret that I have been keeping on my chest for a long period as it has been suffocating me these past few years. I feel as if I am trapped in my body, I've been in here for years but everyday I wake up it feels foreign to me, I've felt as if I've been born in the wrong body and by the wrong body I mean I've never felt as if I was suppose to be me, I have felt like I should have been more................more............should have been born..........born as a g-"
"GIRL!!!" The entire pack said in unison and I looked up at them shocked
"How did you know"
"You didn't block us out when you shifted on your thirteenth birthday when you finally could connect to the mind-link and we heard your wish when you blew out your candles"My dad explained
"Why didn't you guys say anything? I asked confused.
"Because we wanted you to tell us on your own and we got your Victoria Secret Fashion Show Tickets and Yola is setting up your Disney Princess themed Party" My mom giggled and gave me a side hug then pointed over to the tent where Yola was.
"We thought you were gay for me at one point," Hank said ruining the moment.
"No, we didn't"The pack deadpanned.
We partied for a little while until it was close to midnight and we headed out to our sacred place on top of the mountain, the frozen lake, Selene's Pool. On special nights like this one, the Moon Goddess melts the lake so the Alphas of the Full Moon Pack can receive their markings, as well as the water, flows down to the Shadow moon pack for their Alpha Ceremony. These markings remind us of the great responsibility we hold in keeping the Wolf realm hidden from human or Rogue's that have been stripped of their abilities to shift and banished from the realm. Wolves can leave the realm and return when they want as long as our kind isn't put in danger. I undressed and the pack surrounded the pool as I entered. The water was surprisingly warm and slowly it began to glow a pure white and travelled up my body and left white marks in its wake. The light zoom dimmed down and I left the pool as everyone eyed my markings in awe but looked in shook at my chest, I felt it getting considerably hot and I looked down to see a crescent moon forming except it was as black as night completely standing out from the rest of my body.
"That's a mate marking" Dad stated and I looked down at it smiling.
"It's a Shadow Moon mate marking but it isn't complete" My mom added.
We all looked confused as mates were normally a part of the same Pack, never has this happened before but who were we to argue with the moon Goddess.
I got dressed and headed back to the pack but little did I know from that day on would not have been able to bring Senior me to live for a while. Five years of leaving like a nun began that night and every day I pray to the Moon Goddess to give me the patients and strength to not knock my mate out when I see them in the future because best believe that b***h gonna get these hands. Dear Moon Goddess, you better be watching over them real good cause I'm ready to fight, they better square up.
