The wolf

38

We FINALLY arrived at the hideout. Warren changed his mind and said that we would all just come to my house after school. Since Jared IS the alpha. Which reminds me, I need to ask him what he meant the other day by 'Scott was the next alpha.'

I shrugged it off as warren have us blankets and pillows to go to bed. I laid beside Scott, who was beside Ky. And warren, who was beside Bella. I pulled the covers to my chin and turned on my right. My eyes were open and I saw the big dreamy blue eyes that I love. I smiled at it.

"Hi beautiful." He whispered. "Hi handsome." I whispered back. Then I thought about.......him biting me to end all of this. And frowned at the idea. "Scott.....I think-" he put a finger to my lips. "Please don't. I'm not sure if I want to change you yet." He said. "Scott.......if you do..... Then they will leave us alone. That's all I want. I want them to leave us alone." He sighed. "It's harder than it looks Brenda. Werewolves are..... Complicated. I don't want you to go through what I did."

"What DID you go through exactly?" I asked. He shook his head and closed his eyes. "When I first got bit i also shifted into my wolf, which the bite, and your very first time shifting, hurts worse than ANYTHING you can imagine. You don't want it as much as you think." I shook my head now. "I would rather be a werewolf and be with you than be a vampire and want to kill you." I said. He rolled onto his back and pressed his hands to his eyes.

He was quiet for a long time. I was about to fall asleep. "Tomorrow. Tonight isn't a full moon. But it is tomorrow. I'll tell warren in the morning. Get some sleep. You'll need it." He rolled back onto his side and pulled me to his chest. As his arms wrapped to my back. Mine did the same. I smiled, and soon fell I to complete blackness.

-------------------------------------

I was the third one to wake up. I heard warren and Scott talking nearby. I got up and walked to them. I crossed my arms over my chest. I was kinda cold. But part of that may be from the booty shorts and skinny tank top. "So.....what do you think about it warren?" I asked.

I didn't have to guess that they were talking about turning me. I already knew. They both turned towards me. Both shirtless. "Are you sure Brenda?" Warren asked crossing his arms. I nodded. "I don't want to be chased around by them, helpless." I said. He nodded.

"I understand that completely. But.... This is going to be hard, you know that right?" I nodded again. "I know warren. Anything you say won't change my mind. I've already made it up. And you, out of all people, know that when I make up my mind, I don't change it." I said. "You are stubborn like that." Scott said. I smiled at him slightly. Then looked back at warren.

"Fine. But we leave first. And talk to your parents. We have to ask them something else also." Warren said walking away. I turned To see him stammer off to a long. Then looked back at Scott. "Lets wake them up. We need to leave." He said grabbing my arm, taking them away from my chest. Then pulled me to wake them up.

We woke them up and got on the road. Ky was latched to her brother constantly. But I don't blame her. I would've done the same thing if she wasn't. But then I realized how sacred I was. Of a lot of stupid little things. I was about to become a werewolf. I had to stop being afraid. Stop being that scared little cat. I had to be brave.

And that's what I was going to be. Once we FINALLY got to my house we went inside. I was surprised to see my family, Scott's family, warrens family, and Bella's family all talking in the living room. We walked over I them and they all smiled. "Sit down children. We just finished telling them about the real nature." Which was more than likely code word for werewolves and vampires.

I sat down beside my mom and Scott. "Mom. I-I need to tell you something." I said. "I know darling. We have already talked about it and agreed you must change." She said. I sighed at knowing they were okay with it. "And.....about me. AM I the next alpha?" Scott asked leaning forward. "Yes. since I did not have a child, you were the first one I bit. So when I die. You become the alpha."

What?! That's.....great. Isn't it? Must be, because Scott had a big grin on his face. "Thank you sir." He said. Jared nodded and stood. "It's time for the ceremony. We must turn you as quickly as possible. We need the table. And the candles. Set then up before dark." Everyone went to get something. I stood beside Scott as they all scrammed.

Me, Scott, warren, Ky, Bella, my mom, and Jared were the only ones left in the room. My mom turned to me. "Since you've agreed to being bitten, we do the correct ceremony. We set the candles around the table. Which you lie on. We will have to strap you down. We have a dress for you to wear. Come now." She said as we started up the stairs.

When I looked back, everyone was clearing out of the room. Okay, I told myself myself not to be scared and that's ALL I am right now. As we got closer and closer to her bedroom, I got more and more scared.but I knew I had to do this. I knew I had to turn. Or else I would be chased all my life by Daniel. And I really really didn't want that. That was my perfect nightmare if you ask me.

We got upstairs and she pulled out a dress. It was a long white dress that went to my feet. It had a spaghetti strap top. It was lose and slim. Made of pure silk. I put it on. She said I wasn't suppose to wear shoes. Okay. She did nothing with my hair. So when I looked in the mirror, I looked like ow as about to go to bed. Then she said two words that scared me most of all.

"It's time."
