Rosaline

4

I stared at my mother while her face slowly turned from no expression at all, to a look of surprise. Her mate, or my father, also had the same expression. The next moment it looked like my mother was about to cry. She had run forward, hugging me tightly, while my dad looked at us with a look of disbelief. 

¨Did she keep your name the same at least?!¨ My mother had asked me while sobbing.

¨..Rosaline?¨ I had asked, unsure what name that had given me. My mother seemed to look relieved, and so did my father,

¨Thank god she did, at least she didn't change it.¨

It took her a few minutes to stop crying. My mom ended up ending the hug and just sitting next to me. My dad took a seat on the other couch in the living room. 

¨So...what happened?¨ I had asked them slowly.

My mother looked at her mate before starting to speak,¨You were born on May 17th. You were very energetic within the first few weeks. You ended up learning to crawl when you were a few weeks old. ¨ While she was speaking, the other guy who answered the door had walked over. Vianna had stopped when he approached, and she started speaking. ¨This is your older brother, August. He's three years older than you.¨

I just stared up at August. We didn't say a word to each other, but I looked back to Vianna who continued to speak, ¨ Anyway, it was a few days before your third birthday. August was five or six at the time. Odette had taken you. A group of Russian Wolves was along with her. She smelt like a rouge, and I could smell the blood of her mate on her. Odette had a son who was a year old at the time I was pregnant with you. Odette was pregnant a year later but she had miscarried her child.  I think it was from all the stress from her mate being out on patrols constantly. We only had a lot of patrols at the time because there were rogues by the borders. A few days later her mate had come home smelling like another female and completely flipped. She had killed her own mate. Odette was about to start with her son but our Alpha Thaddeus had stopped her before she could. Her son's name is Kris. Right now he is living with his adoptive parents. But they had taken you and fled to the airport. We tried to follow them but it was too late. They had taken you. But I knew you would find out. Did she hurt you at all? Are you okay?¨

I sighed a little bit before speaking to her, ¨No, she didn't. She acted as if I was her birth child. She gave me all that I wanted. We lived near a pack called Mapleshade. I had recently had my first shift. It's exciting!¨

My mother looked puzzled before speaking, ¨No, you couldn't have had your first shift.¨

¨Why?¨ I had asked her.

¨Because you were born a human.¨

¨Oh, I was?¨ I wasn't very surprised about it because there are things that happen like that. It could have been genetics down the line. 

¨Yea, Im assuming she took you to a clinic to have you bitten.¨

Bitten is a term for turning humans into a were-shifter. It's good to start at a young age because then its easier to connect with your soul during your first shift. The older you are when you are bitten, the less chance you will survive the change. I most likely was bitten when I was a year or two old. There's actually quite a few bitten kids back at my now old school.

¨So..If I actually did live here, would you had me bitten?¨

¨Most likely, yes. Because it's very cold here, normal humans cant live here for very long because how cold it is. It would have been chilly for you in here. Yea, we do have heating but at the temperatures, humans call warm...we would have been starting to sweat.¨
