The Next Day
Light started peeking through my eyelids.

"No." I groaned. I don't want to wake up. Then I realized what day it was.

I shot up quick. Today's my birthday. Today's my 18th birthday!

I sat up into a sitting position as quick as I could, ignoring the pain in my wrist. It wasn't much, just a slight buzz. I carefully peeled away the bracelets and looked at the scars forming. That's the quickest I've healed ever.

Shrugging, I got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom. Taking down the pony tail in ny hair, I looked up in the mirror. I jumped back, sucking in a scream.

My eyes had turned a different color. They went from a dark greenish color to an electrifying blue. My skin became brighter and my lips were even fuller and pinker. My hair was longer and.....darker. I had purple highlights. I looked.....pretty? If that's the word.

I blinked multiple times, but I still looked the same in the mirror.

"Whoa..." I whispered. Should I be freaking out and screaming? Yes. Why aren't I? I don't know.

After taking a hot shower and cleansing myself, I got dressed in some jeans and some UGGs. I jogged downstairs, remembering I have to buy groceries. Suddenly, some was knocking on the door, rapidly.

I walked over to the door and slowly opened it, revealing Bell.

"Yo, yo, yo! It's Bell in da hiz house!" she exclaimed, throwing a arm over my shoulder.

We walked in and I closed the door.

"So what ya got planned on this beautiful day?" Bell asked.

"W-well today i-is m-my birthd-day." I said slowly.

"Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday to YOU!" she sang.

"T-thanks." I laughed.

"So can you tell me some thing?" Bell started. I nodded. "Why do you stutter?"

"W-well, my f-foster d-dad, if you can e-even call him that, h-had me s-s-super a-afraid of others. Around you, I-I don't stutter m-m-much."

"Yay! I'M SPECIAL!"

I could imagine her boyfriend saying 'Yeah you are'.

"You didn't stutter!" Bell exclaimed.

"Huh?" I looked at her, my head slightly cocked to the side.

"When you said 'I could imagine her boyfriend saying 'Yeah you are.' You didn't stutter!"

"I s-said that o-outloud?" I felt heat rise to my cheeks.

"Yep."

I chuckled. "W-well, I need to go b-buy s-some g-g-groceries. W-will you c-come with?"
"Yaaaasss!" Bell dragged out the 'a' and 's'. "And I got Lucas' car keys." she spun the keys on her finger. "Let's go!"
------
After almost 2 hours of shopping for food, almost dying in the car, Bell wanting everything she saw, getting pummeled by apples, pasta, and macaroni and cheese, we finally had put up everything I had bought.

"Yay!" Bell exclaimed, dragging me to the door.

"W-where are w-we going?" I giggled.

"I wanna you to meet my family."

My heart stopped. "N-no..... I'm n-not g-g-good with m-meeting n-n-new people."

"It's okay." Bell cooed. "If anyone even tries to hurt you, I'm gonna tie them to a train, alright. I got ya back." she patted my back.

"O-okay."

Xavier's P.o.V
I was sitting alone in the pack house. I shut my senses down so I could relax. I didn't care. I was tired from all the Alpha work.

"I'm back!" I heard Belle yell. A short, sweet giggle caught my attention.

They came into view; Belle and Ranni. I was immediately alert.

'Mate!' my wolf kept chanting in my head.

'Hush! You should like a love sick puppy.' I told him.

I could hear Rannis' heart beat speed up. Her scent surrounded me, but it was mixed with something else. Something like.....a certain flower, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"-Xavier." Belles' voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"H-hi Xavier." Ranni said, softly. When can I make her mine?

Everybody like that poem over there? Didn't make it. I don't know who to give credit to so.
