Chapter One

Two days.

Two days until the first full moon since my twentieth birthday, three weeks ago. While I was looking forward to it as it was impossible not to, there is a side of me that was absolutely terrified of the pain that came from the first shift. But I wanted to meet my wolf.

I could feel her with every day that went by, with the energy flowing through my veins. I knew some young shifters would be apprehensive about asserting dominance over their wolf side, wondering if they would be able to find the control that many failed to do so in the first shift. I decided not to worry about it, because what will be, will be. I cannot change the future, just like I cannot change the past.

With a slight pang in my chest, I looked over from my balcony to the small forest behind our house. A handful of howls cut through the air. The patrol were out, running the perimeter of our territory that was quite large, one of the largest in southern America.

A small smile played upon my lips, as I looked down at the dart of something moving in my vision. The blonde wolf that I knew well, where the fur got even lighter as it traveled around his eyes. We were young pups together growing up which was only natural with how closely tied our families are. I sprang off the two story building, landing just over the garden walls. The wolf nipped at me playfully, shoving his large head into my side.

"Get off, you lump" I teased, pushing his thick neck away from me.

He gave me a playful growl, and I kicked out at him. Within a second, I was pushed onto the ground on my back with the large wolf hovering over me, his bright and wide brown eyes staring right at me.

"Don't fucking do it, Jimin" I tried to scold him, but I couldn't help but grin.

No matter how strong I was, there was no way I could push this wolf off from me. He was the second strongest wolf in this massive pack.

I huffed out the breath as he leant down on me, pinning me to the ground by laying his stomach on mine. I heard the gentle rumble in his chest, proving how comfortable he was. I patted at his side once and he eased up, quickly rolled off me and lolled to the side on the grass on his back. I sat up, and smiled as I looked down at him.

"Are you patrolling?" I asked.

The wolf grumbled at me, and I scoffed.

"At least we get Friday night off, before the full moon on Saturday " I added, laying back down on the grass, looking up at the sky.

The wolf didn't move, and I could sense he wanted to say something. But without me shifting, I couldn't communicate with him. Even then we could only push a few mental words at a time.

I could feel the energy shifting around me, and I kept my head directed above me looking at the night sky.

"Saturday, we are going to Downland" Jimin breathed out. The night club closest to us.

"You know your Dad is going to be able to tell you shifted" I muttered.

I glanced over to him, and kept my eyes above chest level even though I had seen what was further down on his body countless times.

Jimin rolled his eyes, and laid down next to me, "he won't care if he knows it was to speak to you"

We were quiet, hearing the distant wolves, proving how far they had gotten since their last howl, telling the pack that it was safe. It was times like this, where Jimin and I could just be ourselves.

Not the future Alpha and Beta.

We were still very young, both only just turning twenty. Jimin was two months older than me though. It was also very odd, because for the whole of our lives, we had been almost forced together. It was inevitable that we would always spend so much time together, because of who we were, our blood lines.
