So here I am, laying in bed on my birthday. I look around my room to see the curtains open and the sun beaming in. Bethany crashed out on a blow up bed on the floor. I could hear the birds singing… very clearly must I add. Ok cliché I know, but come on it’s my birthday and im going to turn into a frikin werewolf! But then again I suppose I am getting used to the new world. My dad had a little “catch up session” yesterday evening with Bethany and me. He wanted to make sure that we knew exactly what was going on and what was going to happen when we shift. I just kept smiling at my dad to show him no fear and that im ok with all of this. The truth is im scared out of my mind.

 “Morning!” wow this girl is too loud for the morning. “Happy Birthday Liana” and que cheesy smile…yep there it is.

 “Morning and Happy Birthday to you too Bethany” I threw a pillow at her and regretted it straight away. Bethany gasped and stood up, throwing a pillow back. She had a hard mean throw.

 After about a 10 minute pillow fight, Bethany needed to pee so she retreated to the on suit bathroom. I walked over to my open window and sat on the ledge. I took a deep breath in and exhaled slowly. I loved how the sun hit my skin and made and feeling warm. So today was the day I was supposed to change. My bloomin 18th birthday. The day I have been waiting for and planning since I could remember. I now know that nothing goes as planned. I closed my window as I herd Bethany get in the shower but before I could turn around I could smell something different in my room. I sniffed around my room until I came to my walk in wardrobe. I looked back around my room to see if anything was out of place but it wasn’t. I could see a slight shadow in my walk in. But before I could turn around and pulverise the idiot in my cupboard the idiot grabbed my hand and dragged me in, I felt a hand cover my mouth before I could scream. “Don’t scream, it’s just me” I don’t know why but I instantly relaxed in his hold. A alight tingling on my hand where he held me and around my mouth. The smell of cherry and pine wood hitting me. I exhaled.

 “What are you doing here? And how did you get in?!” I whisper shouted at him.

 “I wanted to say Happy Birthday and don’t you worry about that” I could make out his smirk in the dark. I love wolf vision already!

 “So why not use the front door or better yet send a card next time.” My insides felt like they had dropped when I said this and I could see the hurt in his eyes.

 “I wanted to surprise you” Leo smiled and shrugged his shoulders. I looked at him like he was crazy, I didn’t want to but I couldn’t help it. “Bethany is in the bathroom and her overnight bag is behind you, she is going to want to come in here.” I tried to push him off of me. This wasn’t right, I hated Leo, it would never work, the dude was crazy, hiding in my cupboard and creeping up on me. TWICE. But of course he has arms of steel like any other frikin werewolf so I failed at pushing him away.

 “I think she will be a while.” He held me close to him to the point I could feel his breath on my skin, I could feel a pull towards him, the want to feel his lips on mine. I shook my head, im going insane, I just had to wait a little bit longer and I can find out who my mate is. “Move from me Leo” he held my hands together in his left hand, and put his right arm around my waist.

 “Don’t tell me you don’t feel this Liana. I can hear your heart racing.” The tip of his nose moving from the soft spot behind my ear, slowly down my neck and to my shoulder then back up again, really slowly making me inhale a sharp breath. I realised that this was my moment to break away from him as his hold as my hands loosened. I shoved him back and grabbed the door handles. But before I could open them, Leo grabbed my waist and flipped me around so that we were now facing each other. I stared into his eyes, the small gap in my door allowing enough light to let me see the dark black eyes that had taken over his own. I held my hands behind my back, I tried to find the door handle, Leo staring into my eyes, and he began to lean in slowly when I found the door handle. I started to slowly twist the handle. “This….can….not…happen” I pushed the door open and we both fell out, he fell on top of me but held his hands out to keep his weight off me. “Ouch!” I had my eyes closed as I rubbed the back of my head. “You ok?” I peeped through my left eye and closed it quickly, Leo was staring at my face, I remembered that he was still hovering above me so I used the all famous knee in the private area move and kneed him where it hurts. He growled in pain. I shoved him off me and ran to the opposite side of the room.

 “This is not going to work, stop trying!” I half shouted at him and before I knew it he had me pinned against the wall with his hands on the side of me on the wall so I couldn’t run. “I don’t know why but I just have this feeling for you, a need to be with you, around you.” He looked down when he said this before looking me in the eyes again. “But I must be wrong if you don’t feel the same way.” He walked a few steps away from me. But I stood there and stared at him. I didn’t know how I felt about him. I liked him and then hated him for leaving me and now everything has changed and I should be finding out who my mate is today when I shift.

 “Leo I- I’m going to shift later on today” I walked towards him slowly. I asked hopefully “But if you weren’t shifting today, does that mean you have feelings for me too?” I looked away from him. I couldn’t face him; I didn’t know how I felt about him. “I don’t know Leo; I don’t know how I feel any more.” I told him the truth and when I looked up to face him he was gone again and Bethany walked out of the bathroom.

 “Why the long face? Cheer up Liana it’s our Birthday today! Aaaaannd you get to find out who your mystery man is today!” she was so happy and I couldn’t help feel sad for Leo, he hadn’t found his mate still and he just admitted to have feelings for me.

 “Im just nervous about the shift, that’s all” I grabbed my stuff and went for a long much needed shower. By the time I had finished and got down for breakfast the house was already half decorated for my party. I went into the kitchen and found Bethany sitting at the breakfast bar stuffing her face as usual. Dad and mum standing there like they new I would be coming down at that very moment. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” they both inhaled deeply and I knew that they were about to sing to me, very badly must I add. “DON’T sing… please” I held up my hands up in surrender and walked towards them both. I gave them both a hug each and they let me through to the kitchen. Bethany’s mum and dad standing next for me to greet after they both said happy birthday to me. Then i saw Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha and I practically ran to them to say hello. I didn’t care if they were Leo’s parents, I missed them a lot. I mean I got to see Bethany’s parents nearly every day.

 “Well I guess you’re happy to see us!” my Uncle Sam chuckled.

I was still hugging him and simply nodded. I gave Aunt Samantha a huge squeeze too. “Well you are getting stronger.” She laughed and rubbed her arms when I let her go. “Sorry” They stepped a side and let me through. After a very big breakfast and another talk about the party and shifting I headed out to the backyard to see lots of people hurrying around getting everything ready for the party.

There was a white backdrop across the stage and two round tables with two hot pink cloths covering them. The grass had been cut and small bunches of flowers everywhere. There was a long table with a few barbeques behind. There was a DJ setting up in a corner and a dance floor. And then behind everything, slightly away from the party set up I noticed Leo. As soon as I took a step in his direction he walked away into the woods keeping his head down, practically running. My chest began to feel tight at the sight of his unhappy face.
It was then, that I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Ben and Will with their mates. They all greeted me and I then headed back into the house and ran like a crazy person to my room.

I began to shift through my clothes to find my dress for the party. I sat down at my dressing table and looked at myself in the mirror. I began to re observe my new features. This girl, who wasn't a girl anymore. Reflecting back on my life, my family, the town, the pack. Like I had woken up to a whole new world. I hadn't realised I was stating straight, deep into my own eyes. I tried to snap out of it, wait I can't, why is everything..... going..... da..r...k.
