Evangeline p.o.v
“Eve, come on get your as up and get ready, they’re going to be here within the hour!” I hear my nan shout out from down stairs.
I growled not wanting to  leave my warm fluffy heaven, I snuggled further in my bed making myself into a burrito I don’t wanna get up.

Suddenly I felt the side of my bed dip and icy cold fingers wrap around my waist ohh no no no Nanna stop stop! STOP TICKLING ME! Wriggling around trying to get away NANNA!
*thump* looking up glaring at my only suspect. “I told you to get up missy” Nanna Rose shrugged at me acting innocently. She had copper skin with grey hair tied up in a messy bun. The wrinkles under her eyes of wisdom showing her age and tribal tattoos that covered her body telling her stories.
You didn't have to tickle me to death and push me out of bed onto the floor! I could have died! I huffed signing angrily at her.
“ohh stop being a little fussy pot” she giggled “well your up now. Come on hurry up and get ready Alphap John would be here soon” she huffed and hurried back down stairs leaving me to get changed.
Great I think I bruised my butt from that fall I sighed rubbing my butt as I dragged myself to the bathroom; hmmm should I try the vanilla sun set or the berry blossom?; after finally making my mind up, I chose the vanilla sun set body soap and turned the shower on. Whilst waiting for the shower to heat up stripping off my PJs I glanced up into the mirror only to quickly look away after I saw the results of yesterdays beatings. Ughh I should really just get rid of that thing  I sighed to myself removing the remainder of my clothes and got into the shower.

I guess I should tell you who I am, well my name is Evangeline, Evangeline Rose Everly my best friend Zander, well only friend calls me Evie,  17 turning 18 tomorrow well tonight really, I was born om the full moon. Sad right only one friend in my whole life and I'm almost 18!.
Anyway where was I?... oh yes introducing myself sorry…
I have long wavy burnt umber hair that reaches my waist, my skin is pale white with slight freckles covering my entire body, I am always getting bullied as an outcast here because I look strange compared to others that live here. Normal she-wolves are 5'9 whereas me who is a measly 5'3, though I quite like my height, what I don’t like are my eyes.
My eyes tend to catch a lot of unwanted attention; they are blue, purple, and green, with gold specks. Ever since the other she wolves saw them when I was younger they started harassing and beating me though jealousy, I decided to hide them behind my almost black glasses. My Nanna doesn’t like it when I hide them, though she understands that I don’t like the attention.
As you may have noticed I am mute. But I'm really not, you maybe thinking “why don’t you just talk instead of signing” well it wasn’t my idea to hide my voice it was Nanna Rose's idea. I never really understood why but Nanna Rose says its for my safety that I don’t let anyone hear my voice. With me being already weak as I am I of course go along with it.

I winced as the soapy hot water runs along the gashes reaching across my waist from yesterdays beatings. Ouch sigh they must have re opened from when Nanna was tickling me.. I whimpered as I got out of the shower and dried myself off.
I decided to tie my hair yup in a ponytail and finally decided on what I was going to wear. I chose to wear my lose paint covered overalls with my black long sleeved baggy shirt. I don’t like wearing any tight clothing, it makes me highly self conscious.

Finally after putting on my favorite pair of converses and glasses, I make my way down stairs only to bump into none other than Alpha John of the white moon pack's only son, Xavier Collins with his blue piercing eyes staring down to me and his pitch black hair falling into all the right places, every ladies dream man.
Well…all except mine.
“Ugh look what you did you stupid mute mutt. Pick up my phone you whore” he growled angrily. With in a heartbeat I snapped out of my daze and quickly pick up his phone to  hand it over to him. “Now hurry up and get downstairs your Nan told me to come get you, you pathetic human” he  harshly snapped, quickly nodding I shakenly ran downstairs to find Nanna Rose in her study. Ugh stupid idiot Evangeline now im going to get a beating from that… fun… notice the sarcasm. “wait!” I stopped and looked behind to see Xavier staring at me with his black eyes meaning his wolf took over and his hand gripped on my arm. His eyes changing back into his blue eyes. “N-Never mind” he grunted looking away, retreating his hand as if I was poison. Rubbing my arm and bowing my head I quickly continued on my way. That was strange. What up his ass?
Nanna Rose's study is beautiful to say the least. There are vast amounts of books and different types of herbs and stones with candles always lit here and there. Honestly speaking I’ve never seen them blown out before. The earthly coloured walls makes me feel relaxed and at peace with the beautifully hand carve desk.
You see my Nanna is no ordinary werewolf she is a hybrid witch she has been teaching me spells and charms since I was 6, i was surprised when I found out I had part witch in me haha I still remember back when my Nanna was trying to catch me as I floated around the room. But ever since then I had to train to conceal the fact that I'm a hybrid because it attracts unwanted attention.
Gyaah as if I don’t attract enough already. You see, my wolf is dormant. I can feel her sleeping within me, but no one else can feel her and it didn’t help that I never shifted when I turned 14 like the others. So now everyone believes I'm human all except of course Nanna Rose.
“Ah Eve finally you’re here come come sit down” Nanna smiled as she patted the seat next to her. I picked up an apple and made my way over to her to sit down.
“Hello Evangeline, how are you this morning?”
g good morning Alpha, I’m good” I signed quickly mu hands shaking.
He sighed, “Eve we talked about this. You don’t need to call me Alpha just John is sufficient enough”
s-sorry s-sir… I I mean John
“Its okay Eve, no need to apologize for anything. But no ‘sir' either okay?”
o-okay..

Unlike the other pack members, Alpha I mean  John is actually really kind and caring towards me and treats me as his own daughter; he even learnt sign language for me. I cant remember much about my real father and mother, so I always saw John as a father figure. But his Alpha power scares me sometimes..
Whilst nibbling my juicy apple I can hear Xavier coming from behind me walking towards his father and whispered in Alpha Johns ear, with a huff Alpha nodded his head whilst Xavier made his way out of the house.
“I was planning on explaining to him why its important we come here every day of the full moon, but I'm afraid he is still acting immature” Alpha John sighed rubbing his temple.
“Its okay my friend, one day he shall find out but I see he is yet to be ready” my Nanna assured. “Shall we start?” Nanna asked looking over at Alpha John
“Yes we should” he replied placing his hand in Nanna's hand she held out to him.
Nanna gripped the wooden dagger and sliced his palm collecting a single blood drop into a glass bottle before his cut healed. Then grabbing the silver knife she sliced mine and collected a single drop of blood as well. Unlike Alpha John who showed no pain, I winced when I felt the dagger slice my palm. Ouchy my poor hand, I whimpered to myself.
“Sorry sweetie”
"Its okay Nanna, I-I'm just weak” I signed back, she just frowned.
After chanting the spell, the blood turned a glowing blue, pouring it onto the hematite in the center of the table. A light flashed from the stone making the room shine bright but as soon as it came it disappeared.
Your maybe wondering what the spell was for, well you see when we came to this pack 12 years ago, to start a new life; the Alpha, knowing that Nanna Rose was part witch, asked her for a protection charm over the pack from hunters and demons  in turn of staying here. Nanna Rose of course agreed and everyday of the full moon we perform the protection charm to strengthen the bond. Though Nanna taught me the spell correctly, it only needs the blood of the Alpha.
I know what your thinking right, why is my blood added… well to be honest I have no idea.

“Thank you Rosaline”
“Oh no need to be polite my friend you are always welcome here. Would you like a cup of before you go?” Nanna Rose asked but noticed that the Alpha's eyes were glazed over meaning he was mindlinking someone, and frowned.
“What's happened John?”
Sighing John replied “Trouble in the pack house, sorry we have to cut this visit so shortly Rose” getting up from his seat.
“Its okay maybe next time then” she smiled sadly getting up. Strange why is she sad
“Yes next time” and with that the alpha said his goodbyes and left.
Clearing her throat, “Poor Alpha, who wants a bet its that son of his again” Nanna huffed and smiled.
I just giggled and threw my apple core in the bin.
“Okay enough fun. Now. Show me.” Nanna’s stern voice reached my ears.
My head shot up in shock “s-s-show you w-what?
“You know exactly what my puppy. Now show me” she said with an angered voice tapping her foot and her hands on her hip.
I gulped tugging off my overalls half way and lifting my shirt, revealing yesterdays beatings. In a flash Nanna Rose is in front of me,
“AH MY POOR PUPPY! WHO DID THIS TO YOU!!?” I flinched at her sudden outburst
n-no o-one Nanna, I-I tripped over ye-yesterday
“Are you lying to me Evangeline?” as she examined the gash on my waist worryingly.
no no Nanna, i-I was j-just clumsy” I hate lying to her but I don’t want her to be worried, I'm just a weakling anyways. Sighing she gets up and begins mixing some herbs and chanting her healing spell. Walking toward me and Rubs the ointment over my wound and wraps it up tight.
“okay that should do the trick” she sighs “tell me if this ever happens again Evangeline” “y-yes Nanna
“Promise?”
I promise
“Okay good good now go on my puppy, there are a few things I want to finish up. Oh and Evangeline. You are not weak. Not in the slightest” she said sternly; nodding, I head toward my art room. Sigh I guess I should finish up my painting but what did she mean by that?.
