The mall.
First stop: Shoe Show.
I got a pair of black and purple Converses.
Next stop: hair salon.
I cut my hair and added permanent purple highlights.
After that, Forever 21... and I swear, I almost bought the entire store. Taskila hyped me up the whole time.
Finally, Sweet Frog for froyo.
By then, it was 5:00, and Taskila got a text.
"Time to head back."
On the way, Honor spoke again.
"Jamie, I was talking to Taskila's wolf, Meshiyah. I think it's safe to tell her what we are."
Alright.
"Taskila... I need to tell you something."
She glanced over. "What's up?"
"I'm... not like other wolves."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm... a tiger."
Her jaw dropped. "Did you just say tiger?!"
I nodded.
"Jamie—you're one of the rarest beings in the supernatural world! Does my brother know?"
I shook my head. "No. I'll tell him when the time's right. Plus, I haven't shifted yet."
"Okay, okay," she nodded. "I won't say a thing."
"Oh—and I should be getting my powers soon too."
She gasped. "This is SO COOL!"
When we pulled into the driveway, Taskila turned to me.
"Wait in the car. I'll call you when it's time to come in."
"Okay," I replied.
Two minutes later, my phone buzzed. I stepped out, walked to the door, and opened it...
"SURPRIIIIIIISE!"
I froze. The pack was gathered in the entryway, cheering.
Kyle stepped forward, smiling.
"Happy 16th birthday, Jamie."
I burst into tears again.
"What's wrong? You don't like it?" he asked, worried.
"No—I love it. I've just... never had a birthday party before."
He grinned and led me to the kitchen.
"Come see your cake."
I gasped. It was black and purple, huge and beautiful.
Then everyone began to sing.
