^^That's what she is wearing right now^^

I walk up to my room and close the door behind me. I sit on the floor next to my bed and pull the letter out from underneath my pillow.

Dear Malia,
I have no idea how to break this to you but I'll ease into it, I'll start with our family history.
By this point I had already groaned and rolled my eyes.
I'll start with where our family began mid 1800's something happened to our family that no one could change, our great great great great great grandfather was bitten by some un-known creature that the whole village was after, your grandfather was told that he had to leave the town by tonight if he wanted his family and him to stay alive, he was told this by the man who had saved him from the forest, he offered to come with him, he did. They travelled all over Britain and caught a boat to Australia, that's how we ended up there, he arrived in Australia and strange things were happening to him, things that no doctor could tell what was happening to him, he asked the man who had found him in the forest what he was doing there and why he had travelled so far out into the forest, he simply replied with 'hunting' and your grandfather found this amusing since he never saw the man eat meat the whole time they were traveling your grandfather said 'well that's funny since over never seen you eat a piece of meat when we have bought and cooked some for you' the man shook his head 'I wasn't hunting for animals ,I was hunting for somewhere to hide, so that nothing happened to the town but you decided to come out and..' He never finished the sentence just got up and pushed your grandfather into the light of the moon, your grandfather felt a strange burning and then fell to the ground, he felt bones break and shift into place, it was the worst possible pain anybody could go through, he blacked out and when he woke up his family had bite marks on their arms and necks, he looked over at the man and he was sitting in the corner smiling. Your grandfather got up quickly to check on his daughters and wife to make sure they were alive, they were. The man spoke 'welcome to the pack' your grandfather just looked at the man 'what pack?' He asked 'our new werewolf pack, you're one of them now and so is your family' the mans eyes shone a beautiful yellow and walked over to your grandfather and his family. They lived in the shadows and kept to themselves there pack expanded and they called themselves 'The Forgiveness' pack. Long story short that pack still lives today, in our family and with Marc's family and many other families, Marc's the Alpha, I'm the Beta and Marc and I think that you should know about what you are. A werewolf. You're a werewolf sweetie, you haven't shifted yet but that's only because you haven't known. You know now and since its your birthday, you'll be shifting at some point tonight, I'll be upstairs all the time so don't worry I won't let anything bad happen.
Love dad.

"I'm a freaking werewolf?!"I scream, dad rushes through the door and stands there, I look at him.

"Why didn't I know earlier?" I ask.

"Your mother didn't want you too know at such a young age." He said calmly.

"Will I wake up when I'm shifting?" I ask.

"Most definitely, it is a lot of pain to go through, especially since it's your first time shifting, the first is always the worst" he says, his head pricks up and he turns around.
Jake emerges from the shadows his eyes a piercing steel blue. I became slightly scared and shifted back a little bit.

"Jake what are you doing here?" Asks my father, Jake was only in some grey sweats he had no shirt on, but I wasn't complaining, he had a nice tanned body.

"Move away from her please" he growled deeply. My father moved away, I crossed my legs and started picking at the carpet. I listened as I heard him move slowly toward me, my breath quickened as I felt him sit next to me, he moved the hair from my neck away and behind my shoulder, I looked over at him, he just smiled.

"Hello Malia" he said in a voice that sounded as smooth as honey.

"Hi" I squeaked.

"I'm guessing you're wondering what I'm doing here?" He says chuckling afterwards, I nod.

"Well I'll tell you but you have to close your eyes" he whispers to me, he grabs my hand and I feel lightning go through me, I look at him and see glass shards in his hair.

"Did you smash a window with your head?" I asked picking a piece out.

"Uh sort of, close your eyes" he says as he puts a hand over my eyes and I flutter my eyes closed and I feel him move his hands away, I sit there for what feels like ages, until I feel so much pain coming from my chest, I begin to scream and am about to open my eyes when I squeeze them shut and shut my mouth, the pain happens again and I Len forward in my sitting position.

"Mal, are you okay" I hear Jake ask, I shake my head no.

"What's ,what's wrong? Mal talk to me." He asks I feel him put his hand on my leg, I shake my head.

"Mal open you're eyes" he says to me, I obey and open them, he smiles.

"Mal, scream if you need to" he says putting an arm around me.

"No...I'll wake argh everybody"I say squeezing my eyes shut as another shot of pain goes through me. He pulls me into his chest and hushes me, all of a sudden I push away and fly across to the other side of the room, I push up onto my window and look out into the sky outside, my birthdays on the night of a full moon. I look up and feel something in my throat I feel it's a scream and at this point I honestly feel like I do need to scream, so I do. But it's not exactly a scream that I make more like a howl, I then feel my body collapse to the floor, I black out.
