My Best Friend's Father is My Mate

Chapter 2

"Mommy you're coming with us aren't you?" I look up at my mom face which is filled with tiers and i have a sinking feeling. "Daddy and me cant come with you. you have to go with your aunt and uncle to stay safe. You are special and will have an amazing adventure. One day we will come get you when its safe." She said she letting one tier fall.
"My little princess, you have to be strong ok: can you do that for daddy?" My father asks while kneels down in front of me. "I can." I say still crying my eyes out. "I know you will princess. You are so strong and brave. We love you so much." My father said holding me tight in his arms. 

All too soon he lets go of me and my mom takes his place right after. After a minute My father leans down and gently grabs her shoulder. She reluctantly lets go of me. "I will make sure she is safe and keep you posted at all times." My aunt says to my parents. I look up at my parents with tears is my eyes. My aunt picks me up and takes me to the car waiting for us. I am buckled in and the car pulls away from my parents. I see them holding each other as i stare out the window at them till we go around the corner and i can no longer see them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up in my bed with tiers in my eyes.  It takes me a second to orient myself. I haven't had that dream in a while. That day has been imprinted on my mind forever. After vigorously whiling  off my tiers, I look at my alarm clock to see it was 9:30. I truly hate mornings, but after that dream i can't go back to sleep. So i begrudgingly decided to get up so I swinging my legs over then bed with a huff.  I slowly stretch to wake up more. I head to my closet to pick out my cloths for today and do my morning routine. I slowly serve my cloths. I eventually picked out soft black leggings, a cream off the shoulder sweater, a light purple scarf and brown riding boots. Its been a little cold out lately. With it being a Saturday i don't have to study or train so the day is all mine to do whatever i want. I skip to the bathroom, happy at the possibilities of today. 

One i am in the bathroom. i turn on the shower and hopped in, feeling the warm water cascade down my body. I let the waters wash away all my sad thoughts about the past. After finishing in the shower, I put on my cloths on. After drying my hair, I put on a blush and lip gloss. 

After i am all ready for the day, I make my way down stairs when the smell of bacon and pancakes filled the air. My stomach growls angrily. I raced down the stair into the kitchen to see my aunt Elisabeth cooking in her pink apron while being hugged from behind my her mate Maxwell. They are so beautiful standing there together. My aunt is a beautiful woman with her  brown hair with lighter tips that reach her shoulders, light brown eyes and natural sun kissed skin. Her small 5'5 frame is covered by my huge uncle. He was the pack's head worrier before we left so he is more built than most werewolves which is saying something. He is 6"4 with a large defined muscles, short brown hair and green eyes. They have been in love like this since i can remember. 

Aunt Elisabeth turns around with a bright smile on her face. "Oh, Good morning sweetie" she looks a little surprised at me standing here. Even though her and Maxwell don't have any kids, they always considered me one of theirs. I have lived with them since I was 10. Aunt Elisabeth is quit younger than my mom so they have been waiting. I sometimes feel like its my fault they don't have kids of their own but they never look to be sad about it. My aunt and uncle left everything they knew for me. They were only 19 and 20 when we left. I know Max would have become the head worrier if he stayed.  But they came here with me to protect me. I'm still not sure from what because every time i bring it up they look uncomfortable and change the subject. Shaking off my wayward thoughts, I sit down at our kitchen table for breakfast. 

Even though i live in the middle of the woods, I still know about the world around me. Aunt Elizabeth never wanted me to be ignorant because in a world like ours that can get yo killed. I learned that Werewolves are supposed to shift at 16, but then there is me who shifted early at 10. Everything changed the day I shifted.

~~~~~~~~slash back~~~~~~~~~
"Mommy hurry up" I jumped up and down excited for our family picnic. We did this on my birthday to spend time together. My dad being the Alpha, he is always really busy with the pack. however, He takes my birthday off to spend it as a family. My dad just chuckled at my excited behavior. He is a tall man with broad shoulders and lots of muscle. While my mother is small and petit. They look at each other like teenagers in love.

After a little while of walking, We finally got to the clearing we always go to for my birthday. It is breath taking. With soft green grass, colorful flowers and a big lake. My dad sets out the blanket  and starts getting out the food for our picnic while i run to pick the flowers. It was a beautiful day, the birds where chirping and the sky was clear with a soothing breeze.

After everything is set out, i run back to my parents, We start eating our food and laughing. After the lunch is finished, My get out a beautiful chocolate cake with flower icing on it. My parents sing happy birthday to me and i blow out the candles wishing for a unicorn. We then eat the chocolate cake my mom made. After that We play games, and my parents shift for a run while i hold on to my days back to go with them. Then we swim in the clear lake. when we dry off we just lay own on the blanket and  watched the clouds roll by. It was the perfect day. IF only it ended right there.

It all turned bad so fast. I started to get really hot.  I told my parents and they started packing up to go home.  But it wasn't just a stomach bug. Everything starts to feel off. Then the pain comes. "Ahhhh" I screamed in excruciating pain. I feel my hands shifting.  My parents rushed over to me from packing the car but it was all a blur after that. I hear them talking but couldn't make out what they said. My eyes were filled with tears and my ears were ringing. I could barely hear my parents calling out my name because all I could hear was the pops and cracks of my bones. My body felt like it was being ripped apart. My spine shifted and bones moved. I felt hair grow all over my body, me nails grew into long sharp talons and my teeth sharpened. Finally my body contorted in one last very painfully way after that the pain stopped. I don't know how long it took but it felt like days. 

I opened my eye to see my parents looking at me in shock. "Mamma what's wrong?" I tried to say but all that came out was barks and a whimper. I looked down to see wolf paws. I started to panic and shake. "Calm down. You're ok. There is noting to worry about." An angelic voice said to me. I looked around to find were the voice came from but the only people I was were my parents. I heard giggling from the same voice. "You won't find me out there. I'm Rosanna, I'm your wolf."  After my parents helped my shift back to my human form, they take me home in silence. It all changed after that. 

~~~~~~end of flash back~~~~~~

It had been Rosanna and me against the world every since then. She helped me cope after I had to leave my parents with my aunt to live in the woods between my former pack and the blood fang pack. Its a large area so no pack members come out this far. Packs don't like being too close together since it because a dominance thing. Pack members rarely leave the pack land unless its an emergency or a specific purpose. 

Since we moved here, Aunt Elizabeth taught me all about the werewolf world. I learned that mates are destined by the moon goddess. two souls that are meant for each other and compliment each other in every way. Also, the infrastructure of packs. There are regular wolves, worriers that protects the pack, a third in command that leads the worriers, A beta that is the right hand man of the Alpha and then the Alpha himself. He is the strongest wolf in the pack, super dominant. 

"how did you sleep kiddo?" I am taken out of my thoughts by Uncle Maxwell's question. "I slept fine. I am mostly ready for El's food." he chuckles at me but sits down at the table with me. Aunt Elizabeth sets the last pile of food down and joins us. We all eat breakfast together. Moments like this makes it feel like we are one big happy family. Today is getting of to a great start. I can wait to see where today takes me.
