I ran for a long time until my lungs were basically on fire. I stopped trying to catch my breath when I felt instant pain in my spine. I screamed in agony, laying down trying to stop or dull the pain. Then it shot to my legs and arms, I was shifting, but how? I am only fifteen I should not be shifting; I still have a year to go.
My body chose otherwise I began shaking and trembling due to the pain, it was unbearable. With the sound of bones cracking and feeling them break and rearrange, I was becoming nauseous. Suddenly, my vision began to blur, and my eyelids felt heavy. As I let the darkness take over, I heard a voice inside my head, "Rest now, you finally shifted." Then all I knew was blackness.
I heard the leaves rustling in the wind causing me to slowly open my eyes. When I opened them first everything was blurry, then I shook it off then I noticed everything was so clear. I could see everything in detail, the color was so vibrant, everything was so bold.
Finally, I looked down what I saw shocked me. I was no longer on two legs but on all fours. That is right I shifted how did I forget that. 'Glad to see you did not forget we are now fully shifted.' I jumped the voice startled me, that must be my wolf. 'Hi there, I am Micaiah.' I am so stupid of course she knows who I am. If I was in human form, I would slap my self in the forehead.
'Calm down Micaiah, you are fine. Of course, I knew your name, by the way my name is Akiva.' 'That is a wonderful name. Glad to finally meet you, Akiva.' 'The pleasure is all mine. By the way Ki, do not blame your self for what happened with Jeff. He was deranged it happens sometimes when someone loses their mate. He was not the same man he once was.' 'I still feel bad, now everyone will think I am a murderer. Oh, my EJ he will think the same.' 'Ki, calm down he loves you, right now we need to survive right. First I know a way to cheer you up.' She then took control of my body and began running.
We stopped at a pond; she was thirsty. I know because I was, that was a lot of running we just did being newly shifted. I heard her giggle in my mind, 'What is so funny Akiva?' I was quite curious on why she was laughing. 'Because silly, you have not even noticed our reflection. Would you like to look and see what we look like? I promise you will absolutely love it.' So, I did as she wanted, I looked into the water to see our reflection.
I was absolutely in awe at what I saw. 'Akiva, oh my, it cannot be. We are one in a billion.' 'I know right, I was so excited for you to see us.' 'I have only read about us in the history books, people believe it was only a myth.' 'Well Ki, think again cause we are very real.' 'Wow, I am shocked, we are a descendant straight from the Goddess. A pure white wolf.' 'Yes Ki, we are.'
I have seen wolves with some white meaning they are strong but us we were pure white. I let Akiva have some control, to run and be free. She seemed to really enjoy it. She found a small rabbit to feast on. I knew it would strengthen her; we hadn't eaten in a long while. During that night we both agreed to not go back to the old pack, that we would now be rogue. We ended up finding a small village like town and got a job as a bartender from a fellow wolf. He was still apart of a pack but did not live with them, his choice. With that job we were able to afford our own place. Yes, we were young, but we were strong. I just hope one day I would be able to see my brother again.
