My Story as a Horse Shifter [#1]

Chapter 33

Hey guys! Thanks to thesilverbrumby, I will be writing a few more chapters and then I will start the second book. Before you start reading, I want to thank you all for your support. I love you all and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you. Also, if you guys have any cover options or title options for the next book, comment or talk to me in private chat(pretty please with a cherry on top!). Now let's get on with the story!

"So there you have it, mom. That's the story of a horse shifter."

"This... is... so... cool!" Mom said, with huge smile on her face.

"I'm glad you approve of this, mom," I said, smiling back.

"If you guys don't mind, I have always heard of things like horseshifters and alphas but I never knew if it was real. Now, I know for sure that it is true and I  wanted to ask... would one of you turn me into a horseshifter?" she asked.

"We would love to but uh... Maria, don't you have a husband?" Max asked, shyly.

"Max, my dad died when I was seven. He was teaching me how to jump a double bar at the time. Then, he got a phone call in the middle of the lesson. I had a different horse back then. His name was Racer. He got spooked and he started rearing and bucking me. I held on tight to the reins when they suddenly slipped out of my hands and I fell to the floor. The last thing I remember was seeing my dad on the floor, with a mark of Racer's horseshoe on his face, which was full of blood. Then, I must have passed out."

"When I finally woke up, I was in the hospital. There was no one there, so I tried to get up, but I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I lay back down on the bed and saw that I was all over the news."

"Girl riding with dad when phone drives the horse crazy!"

"I automatically started panicking. I started screaming and shouting for anyone to come and see me. Then, I heard the shuffling of feet and saw that it was the doctor."

'Melody, are you alright? What's wrong?' he asked with a worried look on his face.

'First of all, where is my dad? Is he okay? Second of all, where is Racer? Please tell me he's okay, too. I can't bear to lose either of them I-'
