Chapter 0151
Thirteen Years Ago
It’s my 10th birthday! I’m so excited! Today is the day that I will get my wolf! I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment. Okay, it’s only 10 years, but it’s my whole life.
At any point today, I could begin to hear her, but I won’t be able to shift until after dusk. Because it’s a school night, we celebrated my birthday over the weekend with my friends and pack members. My father, the lead warrior of our pack, The Great River Pack, has taken tonight off so he and my mother can be with me during my shift.
My mom has kept me home from school today. She is a teacher and also took the day off to spend with me. We’re currently sitting at the table, eating my favorite breakfast, french toast.
“Angel, honey, you need to calm down. She’ll be here when it’s time. All wolves wake at different times of the day.” I’m bouncing up and down in my seat, barely able to contain my excitement.
“I know, but Mom, what do you think she’ll be like? Will she be like me? Will she like me?”
My father walks in, kissing me on top of my head. “Short stack, what’s not to like?” My father is a giant of a man. Six foot six inches, broad chest, solid muscle. I’m currently only five feet tall. Hence the nickname. My mother is a decent 5’9” so I’m hoping to hit a good growth spurt in a few years and maybe get to her height or taller.
“Thanks Daddy.” He smiles and sits down to have breakfast with us before heading out to training.
“So, what are my favorite girls up to today?” He asks.
“Well,” my mother starts. “This morning, we’re going shopping for some camping gear, so we can take a weekend soon and all go camping in the woods. after Angel gets her wolf. Then because the birthday girl has requested pizza for her birthday dinner and chocolate chip cookies for dessert, I think most of our afternoon will be spent cooking and baking. And finally, before we go out to shift, we’ll open presents.“/
My father finishes his breakfast getting up. He leans down to kiss my mom before coming back around and giving me a kiss on the cheek. “Sounds like a

great day! What time should I be home for dinner?”
Mom has followed my father with her eyes since he kissed her. I hope to one day have someone to love the way they love each other. “We’ll plan to eat at 5pm, then presents around 6 before heading out no later than 7pm.
“Ok, see you then. Take care of my girls.” He says as he heads out. He always says that to us when he leaves for work.
Mom and I spent the morning shopping. We got all kinds of camping equipment, some extra blankets to fight against the Minnesota snow when we go camping in winter. Even with our wolves, the winters get really cold here.
We’re making cookies and I’m getting nervous. I still haven’t heard my wolf. What if I don’t get her. It happens sometimes. It’s rare, but it has happened that a person born of two werewolves doesn’t get a wolf spirit. As the day has gone on, I’ve gotten increasingly worried that I won’t get my wolf. What if the Moon Goddess doesn’t think I’m worthy? What if I did something to make her mad and now I won’t get my wolf. What if….
“What if you’re worrying for nothing?‘ A voice says.
I stop and look at my mother. “What did you say?” My mother looks at me, then smiles. “I,” she stresses the word, “didn’t say anything. Perhaps someone else did?”
It takes only a second for me to understand what she is saying. “Are you my wolf?” I say it out loud. My mother has stopped to watch me.
‘You know I’m in your head and you don’t actually have to speak out loud, right? ‘My wolf asks me. I start jumping up and down. “Oh my goddess, oh my goddess, oh my goddess. She’s here mom, she’s HERE!” I’m screaming at the end.
My mother hugs me, looking into my eyes. Her eyes darken, her wolf, Rain, coming forward. “What is your name, little one?” My mother asks with Rain’s voice overlaying making it deeper.
I can feel my wolf push forward, wanting to answer. It’s a strange feeling, like I’m fighting myself for control. ‘Relax. We are one. I will never hurt you.‘ My wolf tells me.
