Have you ever wanted something so badly that you would run after it? That is literally what I am doing right now. I guess I should fill you in...
I'm a werewolf. My name is Bobbie Sanders; I'm 16 years old... Today. My Sweet 16, the age a girl usually loves to reach, right? Wrong. In my pack, turning 16 is the most feared day for a girl. ‘Why?’ you ask. Well, when a female wolf reaches the age of 16, they can finally shift. Before the shift we have extra sensitive hearing, but that’s nothing compared to our senses after the shift.
In most packs, after the first shift, a female can find their mate. I bet you think that when you see them its love at first sight and all you see is them... Wrong again. You must read way too many books. Werewolves are very similar to humans with the soulmate stage. We don't have a clue who our soulmate is. We are supposed to find out the difficult way, dating.
Even though we don't know who our mate is, we do eventually find out in most cases. The male must mark his female, most often that’s between their neck and shoulder. After this, usually straight away, they make love. During this, both the male and female can tell if they are truly meant for each other. This brings me back to my original point.
My pack chooses to mate differently to others... Rape. On our 16th birthday, we shift and then all the unmated males between 18-25 chase us. The first to catch us, can then take the most precious thing to female wolves. Our virginity. Afterwards, if we aren't their true mate, the pack sentences us to death.
This is because the male can’t mate another female until the bond with the first wolf is broken, the only way to do this is to kill one of the mates, and our pack chooses to kill the female.
That is the reason I was running. I was about to have something precious stolen from me and I was running to save it. I wanted to find love the fairy tale way! Meet my dream guy, fall in love, mate, get married, have children. But, it was all going to get taken away from me.
The wolf behind me neared and I prayed to god that he was my true mate. If he was, he could eventually love me and hopefully I could love him too. Then my dreams about marriage and a loving family could still be possible
