Shifters: Skyler's Story

Chapter Eight: Free

   Asher and I ran. He outed himself as a shifter and we ran to his people. Everyone was surprised to see him and even more surprised that he had a girl with him.

   When I had told them my name they all seemed to look angry. I learned that my family cut themselves off from our people with no warning. They told them that they no longer wanted a part of our people. I think I know why though. They must have known somehow that I was special.

   I called my brothrrs from a phone one of the weres had given me. That conversion went a little like this...

Me: Hey Steven.

Steven: Oh my god. Are you okay? Where are you?

Me: Well long story short, I'm a shifter and I'm with a bunch of othere weres. Will you guys come here?

Steven: We are coming sis don't worry we know exactly where you are.

Me: Right, um do you think you can bring Neal with you?

Steven: I can try.

Me: Thanks bro see you soon.

   We hung up after that and I sank into a chair with a sigh. Asher pulled me back to my feet and pulled me to him kissing me. I have fallen for him and I will ask Neal to let me go and reject me. I want to be with Asher.

.................,.................................................................................................

   A day later my brothers and Neal showed up. Neal instantly disliked Asher, but I wasn't letting this go. I love Asher.

   That night I pulled Neal into my room and he sighed. He told me he won't do it. I told him if he doesn't I will. I just wanted to do this the least painful way possible. He told me I wasn't leaving him and pulled me to the bed. I told him no and his eyes flashed in anger. I pushed him off of me and got up. I shifted into a small animal as he tried to grab me. I bit him and took off to Asher's side I crawled up his leg making him jump and hit me. I shifted back.

   "Oww, that hurt," I mumbled standing up, He apologized and I apologized for scaring him.

   He kissed me for the first time infront of my brothers and my brothers gasped. I pulled away and smiled at him. Neal came in with toilet paper wrapped around his fingers. Asher smiled at me and I smiled back saying he deserved it.

   Neal finally gave in and just blirted out in front of everyone that he rejects me and I felt the bond break. It hurt a little but not as bad as what I went through on my first shift. He took it a little harder. He clutched his chest and ran out. Asher sighed.

   "You sure that that is what you wanted? That you want to be with me and not him?" Asher asked gently and I nodded. I wouldn't regret my decisions. I want to be free. I want to be his.

   We mated that night forming a strong bond between us. A bond I never want to break. He and I belong together and I'm glad Neal freed me from our bond.
