Werewolf Files: The Twin Alphas

Part Two: Niamh

Micah's POV

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Everyone shouted, waking me up. I couldn't say I wasn't surprised now, can I? Ha! But the thing is bed is my happy place and I'd take every chance I get to sleep.

Also I kinda know they'll do this because this is what we exactly do to every teen wolves who turned 16 before - the classic birthday morning surprise bed attack! I named it as a matter of fact!

I stirred up to sit, rubbing my eyes. I feel someone sitting beside me. I looked up to see Marcus, my brother, grinning widely at me.

"Happy birthday, princess," he said happily, pulling me in a hug

"Thanks, Marcus," I pulled away to give him a quick peck on his cheek.

"Come on, now," Nathan started, smiling at me. "Are you feeling the pull? Are we mates or what?"

We heard a low growl. We all looked up to see Calix standing by the doorway, looking angrily at Nathan.

"Or not," Nathan shrugged. I'm a year older than him, and it wasn't a secret that he fancies me and wanted to be my mate - but everyone knows Calix disagrees.

"Don't rush the birthday girl," Lily giggled. "She'll find out once sh---"

Before she can even finish, I already felt what she was about to say. There was a stabbing pain inside of me as I heard some of my bones cracking.

"---e shifts," she continued. She said the last part slowly as her eyes widen.

"She's shifting!" Marcus jumped from the bed, excited and worried at the same time.

"Better now than never," I heard Calix saying happily, approaching me. I felt his arms snaked around me, lifting me.

"Calix," I whimpered. "It's---"

"It'll be alright, babe," he cooed, carrying me downstairs. "Deep breathes now, my love."

Though the pain is excruciating, I felt at ease as he carries me. I inhaled, trying to calm myself, only to be meet with a crazy feeling. His scent - he smells like books and hot cocoa. It's making my head nuts.

"Calix," I repeated, looking up at him, as he places me to the ground. We were outside the pack house now, with Marcus and the rest following behind. "Your scent. It's-"

I wasn't able to finish my sentence as I screamed in pain.

"I know, I've been waiting for you," he smiled, placing a kiss on my forehead. "I'll be right here."

He stood up, walking backwards to stand beside everyone as they watched me shift.

My bones continued to crack while I feel my insides shifting to make way for my wolf. I don't know how long I laid there but a few minutes later the pain stopped.

"Happy birthday" a voice inside me said. It was calming, a voice I've been waiting to hear.

"Thank you. What's your name?" I asked.

"Niamh," she said happily. "My name is Niamh, little one. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too," I smiled.

I opened my eyes - or rather Niamh did, as I see everything like a movie. I am in wolf form, so this has to be hers. Our vision was much clearer. We looked down to our paws, giving me a view for the first time what my fur was like - it was white as snow.

"Niamh," I started, excited. "You're so beautiful."

"Thank you, little one," I can feel her happiness upon my comment.
