James's Pov

"You haven't shifted when you turned 16?" I look at her a bit shocked.

"No. Was I supposed to?"

"Uhhh yeah. That's the point. You are supposed to shift on your 16th birthday, and at the same time find your mate." I say a bit meaner then I intended to. Hopefully she didn't notice.

"Oh. Well my mom used to say that the longer a shifter takes to find their mate and shift, the more important and special they are." She says.

I try to hold in my snort, but it lands up coming out anyways.

"When did she say that to you?"

She looks at me. "Uhh when I was five...." She says it a bit quietly.

"oh." I say and mentally slap myself for my response.

"It's alright. Can I ask you a question?" She asks a bit quickly.

I nod. "What does it feel like to shift for the first time?"

I think a little and sit back. I can see her move a bit closer to me, but I don't mind.

"Well, it's a bit scary at first. To have several thousand questions circle in your mind at once. 'Where would your clothes go when you shift', 'What happens if I don't shift', 'How painful would it be.' But when you start to shift, it would feel like a stinging pain in your feet, but you have to allow that pain to creep throughout your body, until you feel like you are no longer in control of your body. That's when you know that your inner wolf has finally taken over to create a four legged being with the most unique and extraordinary markings."

I look over at her when I was done talking, and she fell asleep, with her head on my lap.

Avita's (Clara's) View

When James was talking to me, it didn't bore me to sleep. It was peaceful. Calming enough for me to catch up on the sleep that I needed.

I kept on hearing his voice until I started to see images of wolves. Creatures with several different markings. In my dream I started to walk up to one of the wolves, until I saw a black wolf, with green eyes and a marking on his left shoulder. I could tell it was James because once I took another step forward he came running up to me and nuzzling me.

Afterwards we walked up to small lake. But this time instead of seeing my small figure with boring brown hair, I find a white and black wolf. She was mainly white with a a few spots of black on her ears and tail. She had blue eyes, like mine with the exact same mark as James did.

When we walked closer to the water for a swim, I saw the images fade away and I felt someone carry me somewhere. I didn't bother waking up or moving a bit because I knew who was carrying me.

I felt the warm arms let me go, but then instead of hearing footsteps leaving, I felt someone lay next to me. Probably to keep me company while I slept.

I keep myself steady, still pretending to be sleeping and I feel him move me closer next to him.

"Clara, I know you're awake. You've been blinking with your eyes closed."

I smile lightly and open my eyes slowly.

"You moved me." I pouted a bit.

"Cause you was sleeping. Besides I didn't want you to get cold."

I nod. "Alright. So what should we do now?"

"What do you mean Clara? Do you know what time it is?"

I shake my head no and he shows me his watch. "It's 9:00 p.m. Clara."

"Woah." I say and I could hear him laugh a bit.

"Yep. You should go to bed soon, before the both of us land up missing our first day in school."

I look at him a bit confused. "When have you decided to go to my school?"

"When you decided to accept me as your mate."

I smile a little and rest my head on his shoulder and fall back to sleep.

"Night my Clara."
