Jaxon's word terrified me. Shifting? How the hell can I be shifting I'm not a fucking werewolf! I screamed yet again in pain when one of my bones relocated and looked at Jaxon with pleading eyes. "It hurts" I sobbed while lying on the floor sweaty and in pain.

"I know" He said sadly with pain in his eyes. He gathered himself then lifted me up by putting his hand against my back and under my legs then started to jog down the stairs and out the house while I screamed in pain. People that still hadn't shifted and run to the forest were staring at us strangely but honestly I didn't care. All I want is for this pain to stop, my body to stop burning and my bones stop relocating.

He ran into the forest while holding me then put me down on the ground. "Luna, you are going to shift" He said softly, trying to keep his calm but I can see how worried he is.

"Jaxon I'm not a werewolf" I sobbed then screamed again because of the burning sensation and more bones relocating.

"Somehow you're shifting. Don't fight it, it'll hurt even more" He said as he sat down on the ground and put my head on his lap.

"Jaxon I'm not a werewolf" I sobbed again while Jaxon was stroking my hair trying to sooth me.

"Don't fight it Luna, this is your first shift. It'll hurt like hell, and if you fight it then it'll only get worse" He said as he continued on shooting me by stroking my hair and I could hear the pain in his voice. "Relax and let it take control of you"

I screamed and sobbed while he tried to calm me down and eventually I relaxed slightly in his arms, thinking about what he said. Don't fight this Luna. You can do this. Relax and let the... wolf take over? Is that what I'm supposed to do? I screamed again when my teeth grew into canines and fur started to appear on my body but then I passed out from the pain.

I regained consciousness seconds later but I didn't feel like myself. I opened my eyes and what I saw was different. I saw much clearer than I've ever done before. I heard noises around me and smelt everything better than normal. My senses have become heightened. I realized that I was standing on four legs and they were pure white. I'm a wolf. I'm a fucking werewolf.

I raised my head and saw Jaxon's green eyes staring at me in shock. I wanted to talk to him but I'm not sure if I can when I'm a wolf and he's human? I tried to stand up, only for my legs to fail me. It was a strange and bizarre feeling. I tried again and this time succeeded however it was quite wobbly.

One step at a time, I walked towards Jaxon with wobbly legs and let out a whine sound when I was close. I nuzzled my head against his nape like he have done to me before and I can't help but smell his sent. It's so alluring, they should make it into scented candles. I would buy them but maybe it's because we are mates and that's why I found his sent so alluring? Jaxon has after all commented that my smell is so appealing to him and he says that it's because I'm his mate.

Jaxon walked away from me then took of his shorts that he was wearing and stood there, naked. If a wolf can blush, that's what I'm doing right now.

He shifted into a wolf, quicker than me and without the pain, then walked towards me as a wolf, nuzzling his head against mine and I purred in pleasure by having him close to me. Wow I purr now.

He pulled away from me then gestured with his head for me to fallow him so I did. First we walked so I could get familiar with the feeling of walking on four legs but then we started to jog and lastly run. It was amazing. I feel like a natural at this so we picked up speed and ran faster than a human possibly can after I had get used to running on all four legs.

When we stopped running, he started to circle around me almost like he was checking me out. I felt so exposed and wanted him to stop so I pounced at him. However, since he has been a wolf for so long, it's obvious that he saw me coming and I ended up on the ground with him on top of me. I quickly licked his muzzle which shocked him slightly and I escaped him. I giggled mentally at my success.

I started to run away from him, for fun of course, and he started to run after me. He growled playfully and I could hear his paws closely behind me. After all, he's used to this.

Another black wolf with green eyes that are my height and a brown wolf with blue eyes that are larger, stood in front of me so I stopped. They stared at me like they were shocked, then Jaxon came walking up beside me. They stared at each other, like they were talking mentally. Oh right, that mental link that Avalon talked about earlier... Avalon... Oh that's Avalon and Colton!

They walked up to me, staring and yet again I felt exposed and slightly shy. Jaxon growled at them and they ran away again. I turned and looked at Jason then nuzzled my head against his. Being a wolf is actually quite amazing.

Jaxon pulled away and took a few steps back then shifted back to his human form. I'll probably get used to seeing him naked soon, however that day is not today.

He walked towards me and crunched down to the same level as me. "When you shift back, think about your body changing. Think about being a human again. Try to endure the pain." He said softly and I tried to think about what he said.

I thought about my blond hair, my short body and how it feels to be a human. My arms, legs and soon I could feel my body changing. It still hurt like hell but I tried to tolerate it like he said. I still let out a scream every now and then when my bones relocated.

I opened my eyes and I stood there, on my two legs and in my human form. "I can't believe I just did that" I mumbled then looked at Jaxon who were staring at me with wide eyes. His eyes roaming my body and then I felt it. The cold air against my body. My naked body.

I blushed and tried to cover my private parts with my hands. "Um... Can you stop staring?" I asked Jaxon and he was snapped out of his staring.

"Sorry" He mumbled quietly but I heard him clearly. My new werewolf senses? "You're a werewolf" He stated in shock.

"How's that possible?" I asked confused.

"I don't know. Let's talk to my parents tomorrow, maybe they know" He said and I nodded. He looked at me again, as in gazing at my entire body, up and down, then walked towards me. "Hide behind me when we walk back" He said possessively as he took in the sight of my body for the last time. I nodded then cuddled up behind him, my hands at the side of his waist and my chest against his bare back as we walked towards the house. His warm body comforted me.

When we entered the house, everyone was staring. I'm not entirely sure if it's because we are naked or because I'm suddenly a werewolf. "Get lost" Jaxon growled possessively with his so called Alpha voice. They bowed their heads in submission, muttered 'Yes Alpha' then hurried away.

Avalon and Colton walked up to us and gave us some clothes that we changed into. I got one of Jaxon's t-shirt which has his amazing sent, I just want to inhale it all day, while Jaxon put on a pair of shorts.

"You're a werewolf" Avalon said shocked. "You even smell like one now. You don't smell like a human anymore" She said stunned as she walked towards me and circled me. "Jaxon what did you do?!" She yelled.

"I didn't do anything! I have no idea how this happened" He answered as he ran his hand through his black hair confused.

"It sure is something" She mumbled. "I mean, not only because you suddenly are a wolf, but a white one" She said shocked. "That is rare"

"It is?" I asked confused and they nodded.

"Black wolves are usually stronger than other wolves while white wolves are faster than other wolves and much rarer." Jaxon explained. "But it also depends on the person of course, you have to have the will but it's often true."

"Just like Alphas are stronger" Colton added.

"Oh..." was all I could say considering the strange situation. Jaxon took my hand into his then guided me up the stairs and towards our room. We sat down on the bed and I crawled under the blankets, followed by Jaxon and I cuddled close to him. "Are... you okay?" He asked hesitantly.

"I don't know" I mumbled. "I still don't understand how..."

"Me neither" He said quietly and it became silent.

"You were right about one thing though" I said softly after not saying anything for a while.

"What?" He asked confused and I turned my head to look at him. My arm was around his waist while my head was cuddled against his muscular chest.

"You smell sooo good!" I said seductively as I inhaled a large amount of his sent.

Jaxon chuckled then kissed the top of my head and I fell asleep in his muscular arms and large hands tightly wrapped around me, keeping me safe. Maybe I should be freaking out about what happened today but being close to Jaxon, I don't even feel slightly afraid.


I was awaken up by someone storming into our room which made both Jaxon and I groan in annoyance. "You're a werewolf" A female voice breathed out. Julianne? I quickly tried to sit up, but Jaxon dragged me down again.

"Jaxon" I said irritated but he groaned annoyed. "It's your mother!"

"What do you want?" He asked groggily with his husky voice which made me shiver in delight. I love his voice, but his morning voice? Oh god, it's something beyond this world. I can't even describe hos sexy it is.

"I knew it was you" She said happily but I still couldn't see her because Jaxon was holding me tight against the bed. "I knew you were their daughter"

That definitely got my attention! I tried to sit up again but Jaxon pulled me down for the second time. "Jaxon!" I said with that powerful voice of mine and he let go of me.

"And that voice of yours only proves it" She said happily as I sat up without Jaxon holding me back.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused and noticed that she had tears in her eyes. "Are you crying?" I asked and Jaxon sat up too, looking at his mother confused.

"It's happy tears, sweet Hope." She said and wiped away a tear. "I knew your parents." She confessed and I stared at her shocked.

"You did?" I gasped.

"Your parents were Alpha and Luna to a pack that we did business with but they were more than that, they were our friends. When you were born, we always hoped that you and Jaxon would be mates and here you are" She said smiling and wiped away a happy tear that escaped her eye.

"My dream..." I mumbled, remembering that a younger version of Julianne was in it. Was my dream right? "Um... did a man... with red hair... kill them?" I asked hesitantly, not entirely sure if I want to know that the dream I saw was something that actually happened. To my parents.

"How did you know that?" She gasped confused. That confirmed my suspicions, it was real. I saw how my own parents got killed. Tears started to roll down my eyes and I started to sob. Jaxon embraced me in a hug and soothed me by stroking my hair and his sent relaxed me slightly. "I'm sorry honey" Julianne said apologetic.

"You took me" I stated and she nodded then walked towards the bed and sat down beside us.

"I was there helping your parents, rogues had been terrorizing them so we decided to move everyone to our territory. You, your parents and I was staying one more day to finish some things up when suddenly I started to smell smoke. I looked outside the window and the buildings were on fire." She started to explain while her eyes got more watery but this time not because she's happy.

"Your father told me to run the opposite way as them. First I listened to him because he ordered me to, he was after all the Alpha in that territory, but then I heard fighting in the woods and I turned around. I found your mother and you. She told me to take you, which I reluctantly did and then I ran away with you in my arms." She said as tears started to roll down on her cheek. "Your mother told me that if anything happened to them, I was going to take you to your grandmother which I did. I never saw you again." She said sobbing.

Julianne embraced me with a hug while crying, thinking about that day. "You called me Hope?" I said weakly after all the sobbing we had done.

"That's your birth name, Hope Graham. I guess your grandmother changed it when she hid you." She said and wiped away a tear that escaped my eye. "When I first saw you, I thought that you were... well you because you look so much like your mother but then you said that you were human. It confused me. What happened?"

"I don't know. I answered truthfully. "I don't know what happened. All of a sudden I stated to shift" I said feeling the pain in my body from the events of last night.

"We were hoping that you would know" Jaxon said worried.

"I'm sorry. I don't" She said disappointed.

"I guess I'll find answers soon" I said thinking about my grandmother and that's when bright light entered the room. "Jaxon" I said slightly worried and I could feel his hand on my shoulder as the room got whiter. "It's happening again" I heard my voice echo through the white blinding light.

I was standing there at the field with roses again and my grandmother was standing in front of me like she was waiting for me. "I was, waiting for you" She said chuckling.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Because yesterday was a full moon" She said with a smile. "How do you feel sweetheart?"

"I feel like shit!" I snapped. "My body is aching and everything is so confusing!"

"You want answers?" My grandmother said calmly.

"Yes I do" I said, this time softly.

"Sit down" She said and sat down at the bench, I followed her actions. "Your father was a werewolf, that's why you are one too" She said calmly.

"Then why haven't I shifted until now?" I asked confused.

"Because I made it that way" She said vaguely. "Your mother is a witch and so am I" She said giving me a smile. "That means that you are one too. You have both werewolf blood and witch blood in you" She said calmly but I felt like the opposite of calm.

"So did you like... hex me so that I wouldn't shift?" I asked still confused and she chuckled.

"You could call it that" She said smiling. "When you met your mate, that's when everything would come back to you but before that, no one would know that you were a werewolf and a witch. I did it to keep you safe. That's why I told you to go to Fountain Valley when I died. I knew he would be there."

"Safe? From that man with red hair?" I asked confused, thinking about that man who had killed my parents and told them that he would find me.

"You saw something so far back into the past?" She asked slightly shocked and slightly impressed.

"Yes. I saw how they died. You told me to think about my parents."

"Yes, but I thought you would see a memory from when you were a baby, something small like your mother singing to you." She said softly. "You are more powerful then you know sweetheart. He wanted to take you. It's possible that he still wants to take you so you have to be careful" She said worried and I nodded. "It's rare for werewolves and witches to be mates, and it's rarer for their child to survive when they have the blood from both sides." Grandmother explained.

"You are more powerful than you think, everything will slowly come back now that you've found your mate. Shifting was only the beginning." She said as the white light started to become bright again. "Remember, you are more powerful than you think" I heard her voice echo as the white light took over.

I was still sitting on my bed. Julianne was sitting close to me, looking at me with wide eyes while Jaxon was sitting beside me worried, his hand still on my shoulder "You're a witch" Julianne blurted out.

"How did you know?" I asked confused, I just heard about it myself.

"Your eyes, they became all silver" She said shocked. "I should have known" She mumbled.

"A witch?" Jaxon gasped, shocked. "And werewolf?" He said confused and I nodded. "Isn't that impossible?"

"It's very rare, it happens almost every thousand year that a child with both werewolf and witch blood survives." Julianne explained. "I didn't know that your mother was a witch though." Julianne said confused until her expression became serious. "You two, you can't tell anyone about this." She said serious as she stood up and we nodded. "If it comes out, you'll be in danger again." She said before walking out of the room, leaving me and Jaxon there, shocked about the new realization.

I turned to look at Jaxon, whose eyes were staring straight ahead without blinking. It's like he's in shock. "Jaxon, what's wrong?" I asked confused and put my hand on his cheek. He leaned into my hand and closed his eyes.

"Do you realize how much danger you are in now?" He said concerned. "If this comes out, people will try and find you, kidnap you" He said with anger in his voice, thinking about me being kidnaped or hurt.

"I'll be okay" I said calmly but his eyes opened and he looked angry or is it because he's so worried?

"You don't understand, you are practically everything that's rare!" He shouted and I flinched at his outburst.

"I do understand" I answered calmly. "I'm a white werewolf and a witch" I said as I stood up, slightly angry about his hot-temper. "Jaxon I understand that you are worried, but you can't yell at me like that" I said hurt.

He sighed then stood up and walked towards me. He put his hands on my hips, leaning his head towards my nape and started to plant soft kisses. "I'm sorry, I'm just worried" He said between kisses and started to travel towards my jawline.

I sighed before answering. "I know, that's why I forgive you" I said softly before his lips touched mine and we kissed, passionately. He put his hands on my ass, lifting me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist giggling as he walked towards the bed while still kissing me. He laid me down on my back while he hovered above me. "Jaxon, I want to learn how to fight" I said softly when his lips had escaped mine.

Jaxon groaned slightly annoyed, not wanting me to get hurt but he understood that it's better if I know how to fight than not at all. "Fine, but I'll train you." He said serious and kissed my lips again, wanting to continue with our kissing. I pushed him away from me and stood up. "What are you doing?" He growled annoyed that I had ended our passionate moment.

"Let's start now" I said sternly.
