-----------------------------------------

My name is Rin Tsukino. I'm the daughter of the Alpha and Luna of the Shingetsu Pack. I'm, also, currently hiding from the outside world. You may be asking yourselves...why is she hiding? Well it all started the day I lost my best friend saving him...

Chapter 1

9 years ago

"Aitken, wait up!", I yelled.

"Well run faster Rin!" 9 year old Aitken yelled with a smile on his face. He had thick brownish black hair and chocolate brown eyes. I, too, had chocolate brown eyes but my hair was lighter shade than his. He was just an inch taller than I was at the time; a cheerful and sweet boy. Aitken was my best friend and, truth be told, was one of the only children around my age. The only other children around were either too young or are significantly older than us. My siblings were old enough to help Otosan and Okaasan with pack ordeals, so they don't have much time to play with me. Aitken was the son of some important pack members of ours; I don't quite remember his parents because I don't see them around much. Aitken usually just comes and hangs out with my family and I. We were playing on an open field not far from my family's vacation house. 

The grass was lush and green, sweet smells of the new spring filled every fiber of my body with bursts of energy. The sky was filled with birds of every colour and clouds so inviting I wished I could fly. The trees of the forest surrounding my home danced with the fluidity of its family that were dancing closer to the ground. The sun was beaming down its warmth and light onto the backyard. When looking into the forest, soft rays of sunlight trickled through the dense 

My home, painted with pearl white exteriors and navy blue accents around its windows and doors. To me, it was a castle, my family's castle. It was a simple home, didn't look like much on the outside. It was a very close depiction of the houses I used to draw with that big yellow sun in the upper right hand corner. Although simple, the house had about 20 rooms, if you count all the ones used as storage because of Okaasan's tendency to buy too many things when she's out grocery shopping. She liked to call them her "just in case" items. Okaasan should have renamed these items as the "items that interested her and were on sale." To with its vast amount of rooms, we had one grand kitchen and a dining hall. The kitchen was designed with Italian marble and all draped and lined with gold. 

"Come on! You know that-..."

I stopped in my tracks and collapsed to the ground clutching my chest.

"Aitken, help me please!" I yelled with tears forming in my eyes. My ears were enveloped with a screeching ring and all I could hear were the muffled thumps of Aitken running back to me.

"What's wrong Rin, where does it hurt??" He said with worry in his voice and tears forming in his eyes. His hands out-stretched and hovering over my shriveled body. 

"M-my chest..." Was all I could muster out through the short and sharp heaves of breath.

"Don't worry Rin I'll get help, wait here ok?"

Before he could stand I grabbed his shirt. "No, p-please stay with m-me?"

I felt my body be coated with a thin layer of sweat, my clothes sticking to my small frame. 

My bones were starting to move in different directions.

"Rin, you're starting to shift!" Excitement and awe could be heard in his voice.

I gripped onto my chest thinking that it would ease my pain.

The pain soon subsided. I opened my eyes seeing that I was now on four legs and paws and covered in red fur. I glanced at my surroundings, my eyes then landed on a awestruck Aitken.

"What is there something wrong?" I asked curiously through the mind-link. Saying he looked shocked was a complete understatement. It looked like he was about to faint.

"You...you're...you're a red wolf" he said stuttering.

"...how do I change back..?" I asked him worriedly.

"It's ok Rin, just images yourself in your human form."

"But what happened if the pain comes back..." I now had tears in my eyes. I was beyond scared on what would happen to me.

"Don't worry Rin, nothing will happen to you."

"You promise.."

"I promise Rin..."

I nodded my head then closed my eyes imagining my human self. I soon felt my bones move back into their right place.

I laid there on the cold ground...naked? Although I was naked in front of Jet I did not scream or cover myself up. I just laid their with tears in my eyes. Jet came by my side and put his shirt and sweater on me. As soon as I stood up my legs gave out and I would've fell, if it weren't for Jets arms supporting me. He picked me up and carried me the rest of the way to his house. I snuggle up into him because I felt so weak and cold that his body heat calmed me. But also him being near me calmed me as well.

When we got there no one was home yet; our parents were out to dinner. Jet carried me to his room and sat me on his bed. He looked at me with concern in his eyes.

"Are you alright Rin?" He asked

I simply nodded, struggling to find the right words. He sat beside me and gave me a hug. He always knew when I needed a hug. I then started to feel tears weld up in my eyes.

"Rin what's wrong are you still in pain?"

"No I'm just really scared Jet, what's going to happen to me?"

"Nothing's going to happen to you, as long as I'm here with you I'll always protect you ok?"

"And I'll protect you also Jet", I said glancing up at him.

He smiled then stood up and faced me. "Come on let's go to your house to get you some clothes."

I nodded in agreement. When he motioned me to follow him I lifted up my arms signalling that I wanted him to carry me the way there. He smiles at me then slowly lifted me up in his arms. I welcomed the warmth and comfort I felt when I was with him. I found it strange that ever since I shifted I always felt calm and comforted near Jet.

'Thats because he's your mate Rin'

'Huh who's there?'

'Im your wolf, Yukina'

'Oh it's nice to meet you Yukina'

'As to you Rin'

'Well could you explain to me what a mate is?'

'Not now Rin, I will explain as soon as you are done with your situation at hand'

'Alright' I didn't want to push her into giving me answers.
