I woke up early in the morning and got up right away. I was excited. Really really excited. Tomorrow is my birthday. Tomorrow will be 18 I will meet my wolf I couldn't wait to shift for the first time they say it's painful, but I didn't care about that part it's just a little while and it gets easier later I can survive a little bit of pain.

I just wish that my parents were here to see me shift for the first time it had been eight years since they died and it hadn't gotten easier.

They were killed in a rogue attack .

Rogues are wolves that don't belong to a pack they became rogues by being exiled from their packs for committing various crimes. Some of them chose to leave their packs and live like robes. This is rare, though we wolves are pack animals. We don't like being alone when a wolf choose to become a rogue is mostly because something bad has happened to them in their pack or they have lost their mate, gone crazy and left the pack .

The rogue's live alone, they don't work with other wolves, but when they attacked our pack, they were working together. It was very odd since that night our Alpha learned that there is a rogue wolf who gathered other rogues to attack various packs. They call him the Rogue King. The attacks have stopped since they attacked our and other packs multiple times.

On the night of the attack, rogues tried to kill our Alpha's son we were celebrating his 18th birthday, and his first shift. He was supposed to start his training to become a new, alpha and take over the pack.

However, that night rogues killed his father, our former Alpha John. He was forced to become an Alpha right away and he did an amazing job. He finished his training early, and he made our pack one of the strongest ones .

My father was Alpha John's beta. He and my mom died protecting Alpha, Luna and their son that was their job.

After the death, my brother Namjoon became beta. He and our Alpha were best friends since childhood, and now they run our pack together.

My brother is an amazing Beta and even better brother he was 17 when our parents died and after that, he had take care of our pack and me. He never complained he took those responsibilities and did the best he could. He did great he always made sure I was safe and taken care of he still does.

I finished high school a few months ago, and all I have to do now is train. After the attacks, my brother and our Alpha decided all the pack members must train to be able to defend ourselves.

The rule in our pack is that we all must go through high school it is something similar to human high school, but we learn werewolf and pack history, pack laws everything needed to help the pack function properly. For example, if a wolf is interested in working for Alpha he or she will learn a bit more about running the pack. If a wolf is interested in architecture, he or she will learn about plants or crops to help sustain our food supply. If wolf is interested in defending the pack he or she will learn about defense techniques, attack, formations, and will have to spend more time training than the rest of us. I choose to help the Alpha run our pack it was natural to me my brother is a Beta and I want to help him as much as I could so learned all about pack laws and everything else needed to successfully run our pack.

The Alpha and Beta and Pack Healer are the only ones who leave the pack to go train for the positions. They go to different packs where they learn everything needed for their positions in a pack. The training last for about a year.

Considering our pack was attacked and our former Alpha was killed our new, Alpha and Beta finished the training and only a couple of months. The pack needed them, and it had to be done quicker than usual. I miss my brother when he left, but I knew it was something he had to do.

We have to train every day, but tomorrow I get a day off because it's my birthday and my first shift. It's a special occasion. The first shift is important because you get to meet your wolf, and your mate.

Mates are important in wolf culture. A mate is your special someone picked by our Moon Goddess. It is the connection of two souls. Your mate becomes the most important thing to you. You love them instantly you want and needed to be with them and protect them.

Gender doesn't define it either. Even some males are omegas. Like me I wouldn't say I'm the first in my pack, but one of the few. For instance I have woman's body, but my voice and strength is as if I'm a man. I also have to gender parts. Women are automatically omegas. The only man that carries the word Alpha is our leader. While other males are regularl he wolf.

My brother still hasn't found his mate and neither did our Alpha. So until he does his mother Ji-eun still has the Luna title and the Luna duties.

She had a hard time after her mate, our former Alpha passed away. She almost didn't make it she didn't eat sleep, or do anything. That what happens when you lose your mate. Your will go to live goes away however, she recovered and she's an amazing Luna. I love her a lot. She helped me and my brother after her parents died and she and I have a special relationship. She's like a mother to me.

Asked her to be present for my first shift she accepted and gave me a big hug. It is a big deal to be present for wolfs first shift, at least in our pack. Each pack has its own tradition, but in ours only the wolves you choose get to witness your first shift, and it was a honor to be chosen.

I choose my brother, Luna Ji-eun, and my friends Hyung-sik, and Y/n. They were all honored and excited for me.

I couldn't wait to shift. It will be amazing. Maybe I'll be a luckier than my brother and meet my mate soon.

I had to go training soon, so I brushed my teeth, took a quick shower and got dressed. I put on my black tights, training bra and gray hoodie and my black Nike sneakers. I tied my long black hair into a ponytail and went downstairs.
