Everyone ran outside the building and I saw Ryane and Jearon turn into wolves as 4 more wolves came down the staircase. They snarled as they prowled toward the monster. When they surrounded it and attempted to attack it, they missed and I felt something jolt through me like a lightning bolt. I felt my body shifting and taking a different shape, and when I looked at myself all I saw was fur paired with canines and sharp claws. The sound of blades rubbing together brought me back to realize there was a battle going on.
When one of them fell on their back and scurried back to their feet, I made my move. I stalked towards them and lunged, I landed on its back and as I fell to the ground, I ripped a chunk of flesh from its neck. It screamed in agony and stumbled backward before it began smashing and slamming its limbs on everything and breaking the widows. All 6 wolves snapped at its heels and tore skin and crunched bones, and after they finished they stalked towards me. They were met with a growl and followed by a snarl.
5 of them surrounded me and the largest one crept closer and stopped inches away from me. When they tensed their muscles, I took it as a challenge and paired it with raised hackles. We circled each other first, then I lept leading us into a roll and didn't notice I was bigger than them until I was on top of them. I showed my sharped canines and howled so loud that I could hear the stone walls shaking. They flattened their ears and went for my throat, but I leapt off of them and avoided the attack.
I went for another attack, but was stopped by a voice.
"What is this about? A new wolf, who is it?" A woman about mid thirties asked. "Turn back at once, that's an order."
At those words, all 6 wolves turned into boys. Then they glared at me and the woman gave me a warning, I was guessing that she was expecting me to turn back,too. When I tried to turn back, I realized that I didn't know how so I just stood there and looked at my hind legs to give them a clue.
"I think either that's a real wolf or it doesn't know how to change back." One of the boys asked.
"That's nonsense Mikal, they probably don't think it's safe to change right now." The woman corrected.
I tried to concentrate and think about being a human again. Then I felt myself change back in less than a second.
"Ambrissa?! That wolf was you." Ryane and Jearron said with mouths hanging wide open.
I nodded and Ryane blurted out, "Anyway what I was going to tell you was that you're our sister, and now we know for sure that you are."
"This is a joke, right, cause I mean it's looking kind of obvious that she's your mom and she's royalty. So, that would mean that I'm royalty, but I could never be a princess." I answered.
The woman came closer and touched my arm just barely, then started to smile and teared up. "You are my child. I have finally found my long-lost child!" Then she pulled me into a tight embrace.
She let go of me, then turned to the boy's and gestured for them to come over. They came running over but stopped when I turned into a wolf, then turned themselves and piled on top of me after they knocked me over. I nipped at their shoulders, still shocked by what had happened in the hour.
The biggest one looked at everyone then they left. He turned back and told me to turn, so I did. "I'm Kirain and the oldest, can I talk to you?"
"A, yeah, sure." I answered back.
He led me to the next room and crossed his arms. I looked around and leaned against the wall.
"So what did you wanna talk to me about?"
"Well, you were bigger than all of us as a wolf and you're no offense, a girl. So I just wanted to know how many times you've changed into a wolf. I need you to tell me because it's my job to know about each sibling since I'm the oldest."
"I've only changed this once other than in my dreams, which one of them just came true and also my wish came true, to be adopted and I've never told anyone my wish before. Can you please keep it a secret?"
"I'll only tell people about the first thing don't worry. I have a secret, too. It's that I don't want to lead an army at age 16 which is in a year, I just want to live in our castle and be safe so I guess that you could call me a coward."
"Wow, really? Because most princes' from the movies anyway, all they want to do is lead an army. Sometimes I actually dream about leading an army, so maybe I could take your place and maybe that could even be my birthday present in 2 1/2 months. By way, when do I get to meet our dad?"
