Reborn

I was walking into the reception area when I started to feel very off. I started to look around, thinking perhaps it was Henry watching me again. I noticed him in the crowd by the archway however, he had a concerned look on his face like he wanted to come to me but was unsure.

By this hour, it was extremely late at night. The mood shined brightly overhead of the earth. Hunter sensed my stress and at once ran to me. I swayed a bit and collapsed in his arms as my skin started to feel on fire. “Molly!” I heard a voice from far away shout. I did not have the strength to pay attention to Hank. I saw him trying to move through the crowd.

I felt like I would throw up. I was shaking like I was having a seizure, then I started to whimper in pain.

"What is happening to me?" I heard Hunter start to curse.

"it's time, your shifting" after he said that I felt like I was pierced with a white-hot branding iron. I started to clench my teeth so I would not scream as the pain ripped through me. Some of my classmates who I had not met yet came over sensing the distress.

"Mr. Eldridge I am Alpha Conner of the blackwater pack, on your word we will send the crowd home" Hunter nodded and one of the asked.

"Is there somewhere you can take her so she can shift?"

"Yes, her grandfather's house, he lives next to Alpha Bryson's pack, her grandmother supplies them with medicines and tinctures it's outside of Aberdeen.”

They were shocked "That is too far, she will not make it!"

"If I knew where her mate's pack was, I would go there but I don't, I have no other choice."

"Who is her mate?" one of them asked.

"Alpha David" their faces were in awe and shock "so David finally found his mate!" one said in congratulations.

"His pack is outside of Glasgow, it is closer however, he left to settle a family issue, which is not wise, leave her here and we'll help her." Hunter did not stop to listen.

He gathered me in the car, I saw Hank watching us confused and concerned. He turned to speak with one of the boys aiding us. His eyes widened with shock, and I saw him trying to move towards the car.

Hunter, unaware of the situation, hit the gas and started to drive away from Cambridge University. Once we were free of the city limits, he put the gas pedal as far as it would go. The car shot to 120 on the speedometer and we made the long trip to Scotland.

I never noticed the car ride or how maniacally Hunter was driving, I was lost in a sea of fire and pain. I felt as if my blood was being boiled in my veins. I screamed out in my mind to God or whoever was listening to take away this pain. I have never felt anything so destructive and earth-shattering in my entire life. I closed my eyes and begged for death.

Death would be peaceful, and easy, why did my life have to be this hard? Why was I always feeling so tortured no matter how good I was, no matter how kind I was, or how strong I tried to be? Was this my lot in life? Would my life always be this way?

I left my mind drift to this hoping to ignore the pain I was feeling in my body. I thought about the moment while we were in David’s pack. He and Callan had another heated fight. Callan was at the time thinking about enjoying his first years of college and wanted to have various “experiences.” He talked about partying, “testing the waters” and he wanted me to join him.

David lectured him about being devoted. He told David that he was devoted to me, however, he still loved to party, and he did not want to be tied down yet. David punched him in jaw, which caused them to shift into their wolves and get into a brawl.

I sat crying, once David had won, he said he was grateful neither of them had marked me. Callan left and David vowed to always stay with me. I was crying and yearning for Callan to come back. I know it is ridiculous but, I still loved him no matter what. Tonight was the night of my transformation; I wish David were here with me tonight. I understand what was happening with his family yet, I never realized how much I needed him until now.

I writhed in agony in the backseat. My mental distractions only worked briefly before the pain was back in full force. I heard my wolf whispering to me to stay strong, saying it was time for her debut into the world. Saying that we would be one together would show everyone how powerful we are together. I lay there and listened to her coaching me. I did not want to be all-powerful, I just wanted to be me. She showed sympathy for me.

"I know this dear however, this is your destiny, someday soon, you will be great, I can feel it and you will be the most powerful being, Hunter will need you one day."

I asked her what she was talking about, and she went quiet. I tried to use this as a distraction away from the pain, but the only thing my mind could think of is "Alania" and her resurrection which I saw.

"Does it have to do with Alania?"

Again, she refused to say a word. I felt the car come to a complete stop. I tried my best to lift my head off of the seat. I heard the car door open, and my grandmother was lifting me into her arms.

"Keech she is burning hot."

I started muttering words and my skin started to feel like she had placed cloths of ice on my body to cool it down. Hunter lifted me into his arms away from my grandmothers touch and carried me deep into the woods until they found a clearing where the moon shined bright.

My Grandmother kneeled next to me still muttering words of comfort that started to ebbing the pain away. I heard Hunter in the distance arguing with my grandfather about calling my real father. Suddenly I felt a presence next to me, his scent enveloped me, and I knew Callan was near, my estranged love was with me tonight during the most painful moment of my life.

I also smelled others in the clearing, I smelled his father, and I heard his deep angry growl. I heard my grandfather threaten not to interfere, my grandmother swore she would leave the pack area and not be their nurse anymore if he did not stop denying fate and causing her granddaughter to live in pain.

They knew what he was doing. I was not sure how since I had not talked to them however, grandmother being a witch, she had to have found out somehow. I grit my teeth in pain as the pain started to return. A scream of torment ripped through my body.

I saw my wolf whisper "it's time."

Right as I heard Callan ask where David is I felt my body shutter. My hands dug into the earth; my head snapped back in a way that could kill a normal person. If any human were to see me, they would think I am possessed. My legs twisted in a sick manner, I felt my bones breaking, and my arms twisted with cracks as if I were being broken apart and put back together.

I screeched and writhed in agony. I felt a bit of a calming presence wash over me as Callan stayed near to me the entire time. Suddenly as my back arched like it was being sawed in half, something started to happen. I felt my skin start burning again, I felt my entire body pulsing like it was being electrocuted.

Callan backed away from me, and I could not at first understand why. I heard my father's voice next to me also telling me soothing words to help me through the process. I was touched that my mate and my real father were putting aside their differences to help me this night.

Suddenly the heat intensified, and I saw everyone backing away from me. I looked at myself and I saw that my body was starting to glow again. This time, it was more magnified, and the purple aura was being unleashed out of me. It started to form a glowing force field around me similar to what I have seen in a Star Trek movie. My body arched further and twisted way like I was being ripped in two pieces. my eyes opened like I had no control over them.

That is when I noticed I was floating twenty feet in the air. My hair was flowing like there was a gusty wind, a moment later a blinding purple glowing light burst from me. I looked across the tree covered forest, I saw a figure hiding in the trees, watching with a look of awe a second before the light shined brighter, and burst from me.

With one finally screech of pain, my head was thrown backwards in a sickening manner. I felt as if I burst out of my skin. Everyone on the ground was covering themselves in the light as I found myself with white fur and four paws.
