The Almost Rejection

1. Geek?

I wasn't your common werewolf. I was only fifteen and a girl so I haven't changed into my wolf yet. Men wolves change on their birthday when they reach the age of fifteen and woman wolves change when they turn sixteen. They stay at home that day to prepare. Werewolves in my life aren't your typical Twilight hot Indian guys walking around shirtless and with hardly any girl weres. No, we don't shred our clothes when we change. Thank God, because how awkward would that be? I mean guys can walk around shirtless but girls that's not an option. Plus we cant just carry around a shirt and shorts with us in wolf form because that doesn't make any sense. Girls have to wear bras to which just is plain weird to think of how in werewolf stories they somehow don't without the writer explaining how guys can just stand there and not think anything of it.

Anyways, I am Beatrice Ford. But I go by Tris. I wasn't athletic or pretty or even skinny. Before you turn into your wolf form you appear human and since werewolves eat more than humans we tend to be athletic before the change to keep our weight down. But sometime we just aren't like that before the change and I was one of the unlucky ones. I had asthma so it just wasn't just me being lazy.

I was around 5'10 with a large chest and a somewhat large waist but not fat. Not fat nor skinny kind of stuck in the middle somewhere. My long frizzy curls were a deep brown and hung around my face down my back. My eyes were a caramelized color but hidden behind glasses that would disappear about two weeks after my change. I read a lot and that pegged me as one of the school geeks though I wasn't. I skipped class and had tried alcohol before just because I enjoy a good book doesn't make me a goody-two-shoes with all the right answers though I did pride myself with good grades.

Tomorrow was my change and I couldn't contain the excitement running through my veins. For humans sixteen is important age but no where near as important as it was for a girl that had been anticipating her change her whole life. Who would not only accept her true nature but find her ever waiting mate too.

When you first change into your wolf that is when you are able to find your mate. Not that you will the first day you change or even the next it sometimes it takes years and sometime you never find them at all. There's always the chance that you will get rejected to. To be rejected you mate must actually say it and it almost always kills said wolf. It doesn't happen often because the needs of our wolves are just so important and of course even if you do survive the rejection you will always fill an empty part of you of what could have been. What should have been.

I stifled sob that had risen in me thinking of the mates that never happened. I hardly ever cry for myself, but for others? Well, let's just say that it affects me more than it probably should. I laid down in my bed fresh out of the shower and thought of what tomorrow would bring. Tomorrow was the day I had waited for my whole life. It was my sixteenth birthday.
