my wild mate

chapter 9

Joshs pov

It's two weeks since Shannon's birthday and we're all training in our human forms today. Me and carter lead the training so we start doing some stretching I look across the field and see Shannon holding her head. I walk over to her and if she's okay but she just nods, I tell carter I'm watching from the sidelines to keep track of everyone but really I'm keeping an eye on Shannon.

Suddenly she's doubled over and holding her head. I rush over to her "Hey! What's wrong!"

"My.... head"

"What's wrong with your head Shannon? What's going on?"

"Pounding... feels like something.... is cracking... my skull!!"

"Okay, I know its hard but it's probably your wolf trying to get in, you need to relax and let your inner gaurd down to allow her in okay"

"WHAT!!! Let her in where!!"

"Your mind Shannon, you will share your mind, body and soul with your wolf, you need to accept her. Now listen to me okay lll help you through it"

"Carter get everyone away now!! I can't move Shannon but this should be a private moment for her"

"On it"

I make Shannon sit down properly her head is in her hands. I see everyone has moved now

"Right sis listen to me okay, I'm right here " I take her hands in mine

"Try to visualise that you have walls in your mind, that's where the pounding is coming from okay, you need to imagine them walls coming down, allow your wolf in, give her permission. I know it's scarey but you need to do it you'll feel alot better okay"

I can see she's trying to focus. She's frowning as she squeezes my hands. Suddenly she screams and falls back holding her head

"Ahhh! Fuck! It hurts, why is it hurting!! Everywhere hurts josh!!"

"Did your wolf come in?"

"Yes!!"

"Okay the pain will ease soon I promise. I'll get you to bed"

I scoop her up and mind link my mum on the way to make her aware of what happened. I carry Shannon to bed and put the covers over her, she passed out in my arms on the way over. Everyone is different when their wolf shows up, it depends on how guarded the person is and I guess Shannon has more mental blocks than I realised so it took more for her wolf to get in.

"She's in bed asleep. I'll stay the night to make sure she's okay"

"You're a good boy josh. Hopefully she'll be okay now"

"She's still got the physical shift yet. Her wolf had a hard time getting to Shannon, I think she has more mental blocks than we realised mum. I just hope now her wolf will help gide her"

.........

My alarm beeps next to me. Ahhh how is it already time to get up! I always keep myself in a strict routine as it helps me stay focused and in control. I slept in the spare room last night which only has a single bed and at 6ft5 and my wide ass build it's not the most comfortable place to sleep.

I stretch and throw on a pair of joggers I keep here, I make my way downstairs and make a coffee before checking my emails. I'm working closely with a few other packs to try and track the pack that killed my father but nothing new pops up. I scan through social media then I hear a scream from upstairs I drop my phone and run up the stairs, Shannon's door open and mum is stood by the door. I step inside and see Shannon pacing, she's sweating and can see her muscles are rippling, she keeps screaming in pain.

"Your wolf Is trying to shift darling, keep calm you need to allow it" my mum is using a calm voice but Shannon just screams again I rush to Shannon and grab her in a bear hug she's thrashing against me "let go of me!!!"

I carried her to the front garden and placed her down she turns to look at me, her eyes filled with anger and fear, I can see the coulor of her eyes are swirling where her wolf is fighting for control. "I'm sorry Shannon"

She looks at me confused before I stand tall and look her in the eye before using my alpha power. We have the ability to force weaker wolves to do as we say "Shannon! I command you to shift!!!!"

She screams again and falls to the floor, her whole body is shaking and rippling. I watch her closely as her hands begin to grow claws

My mum is stood beside me "come on Shannon don't fight it please!"

The air Is filled the sounds of bones snapping, then Shannon is replaced with a small gray wolf. Her eyes locked on mine.

"There you go!! Aww baby your wolf is beautiful!" My mum is beaming with pride

"I'm sorry I commanded you to shift Shannon, you was fighting it and fighting a shift doesn't end well. You'll have to try mind linking me as obviously you can't talk"

Shannon's wolf huffs before shaking out her fur, titling her head at me.

"Right, imagine a wire going between us, that's the link between us now use that say something"

She's still and focused for a few minutes
.
"Hmmm hi" I hear her voice in my head.

"That's it! You done it!"

I smile at her, I'm so proud of her.

"Now how do I shift back?"

I start to laugh and she's studying me

"Oh shit yeah, I will be naked won't I!"

"Yep. So go up to your room, then imagine your body form. Really focus and push the thought, imagine your skin, your hair, all your limbs etc. It will hurt and it'll probably take some time as your wolf will want to stay out longer but you need to control her. You need to work together okay. It's not you and your wolf,  you and your wolf are one of the same"

She nods at me and trots off to her room, me and mum walk behind her.

"She's beautiful isn't she josh! I wasn't expecting a gray wolf!!"

"Yeah she is, I'll make sure me and carter work closely with her to maintain her wolf"

"Your a good man josh"

" I was raised by good people"
