The White Wolf Chronicles: Shifted

Chapter 1

The sun was too bright as I opened my eyes. Someone had disturbed me from my sleep. I opened one eye and saw that my curtains had been opened.

"You really need to get up" said my older brother.

"Not for another hour Nate, why are you even waking me up for?"

"I needed to talk to you about last night". I shifted uncomfortably. 

I knew where this was going.

Did everyone know I had changed?

I finally made it home last night right before the sun had come up. I made sure I was quiet as I had a shower and got into bed. I could sense that no one had been awake. I had even sneaked in through my window just to be safe, so how the hell did he know?

"I have no idea what you are talking about," I answered rolling over.

"Stop pretending Kaylie and admit it, I know you shifted for the first time last night. I saw that your bed was empty when I got home from the party and you know everyone there shifted".

"So now you're a class A stalker, wow, never knew you had it in you bro".

"I'm trying to help you; look you need to be able to control it. I bet you are having urges right now and your anger is rising".

Damn him for being right.

"Why didn't you tell me that I may have the stupid gene?" I sulked as I sat upright.

"I wasn't allowed to, Dad thought it may have skipped you but he wasn't willing to put a bet on it so he's just been sitting and waiting until it happened, I mean you are an alpha descendant."

"Great, so I'm a loser in the real world and now I'm abnormal in the werewolf world?"

I had made the change on the first full moon after my seventeenth birthday.

****

I was just a regular girl once upon a time and now that had all changed along with everything I had once thought I knew.

I was seventeen years old and the youngest out of my family. I was stubborn and I took many risks. My father was the Mayor or should I say Alpha of our little town called 'Woodshire Creek' located in north America just off the coast. He ran the local werewolf pack around here. I had two older brothers named Nate and Daniel. Nate was 19 and Daniel was 21.

My mother worked as an assistant to my father, yet I was never popular. Only the stoners, Goths and musicians wanted to know me. The only person I was really close to was my cousin Imogen and I am sure she does not even count as a friend. We were a month apart, her being older.

It really sucked being the young one all the time. I was apparently "special" in everyone's eyes. None of the other cubs who were not part of the stoners, Goths or musicians would talk to me or give me the time of day because I hadn't shifted at sixteen like all wolves should.

Both my brothers and Imogen had made the change.

Apparently once you shift you get better looking, what a joke.

Nate screaming woke me up from my daydream.

"Kaylie, your rides here," yelled Nate from the balcony doing god knows what.

Imogen was out the front waiting for me and she was smirking.

Great

"So, I heard you made the change last night," she said as I got into her silver Audi.

"Yeah thanks, I guess that means the whole school knows right Immy?"

"I am sorry Kay, Uncle Ren always knew you would make the change, he just couldn't admit it when you didn't make the change but you have now and that's what matters. Everyone is talking about you though."

She meant my father Ren James. The Alpha and no one could deny him. Imogen's Dad, my uncle was my Dad's Beta and second in command of the pack. It only made sense that Imogen knew everything.

"I hope no one is going to babysit me now and try to be my friend because I changed, why am I so abnormal, Jesus. There really should be a handbook on this stuff and it should be titled how to be a big furry werewolf who eats bunnies for dinner," I huffed as we pulled into the parking lot of school.

Imogen burst into laughter so I threw her my best dirty look I only saved for one person I particular.

"Immy, you can hang with your other friends if you want, I can be a loner for a day it won't kill me, I'm sure the stoners or the Goths will let me chill."

"No, I'm not going to leave you Kaylie you're my cousin, besides I have a feeling that you'll be getting noticed today" she smirked.

"Please do not tell me it's my scent, I seriously can't deal with anything else right now" and as soon as the words left my mouth little miss perfect just had to waltz over.

Speak of the devil and she herself will appear.

"Well, looks like someone finally made the change, late bloomer much" Audrey smirked, the school's bitch and head cheerleader.

"Man, I am so pleased I didn't change earlier your scent is rank" I said holding my nose just to piss her off. Big words and punctuation confused the shit out of her. She had never heard of a dictionary either clearly.

"Kaylie, just because your daddy is alpha doesn't mean you get special treatment from me'

'I don't want your treatment, just don't forget I'm in line for the title of Alpha sweetheart," I said walking away.

I heard her snarl but payed no attention to her.

"Good job Kay," laughed Imogen.

"Thanks cuz," I smiled walking to class.

"Meet you at lunch?" I asked

"You bet," she said heading in the opposite direction to me.

I was going to make things interesting in this town, I said smirking as I walked to my first class.
