The Grand Wolf

Chapter 3

^^^^^^Whisper=Margaret's wolf^^^^^^

"Hello? Can you hear me? Don't be afraid, I am here now for you." Margaret heard a voice in her mind

"What? Who's there? What's happening?"  Margaret asked.

"I am your wolf, Whisper." The voice said.

"But I'm am not supposed to have a wolf. I'm human."

"No. Not human. It took seeing our mate for the first time to awaken me." Whisper told Margaret. 

Margaret was freaking out. She finally got used to the idea of never having a wolf, then suddenly, it's there.

She follow the handsome, almost naked man to the bridge. When they reached the bridge, The man looked at her, giving her a comforting smile.

"By the way. I know you can really tell me anything yet, but I should at least introduce myself. I am Alpha Chris Starly, of the Crescent Pack."

Upon hearing he was an alpha, like her father, Margaret bowed her head to show her respect.

Alpha Chris let out a chuckle, "nope, not you. Don't forget, we are mates. Mates don't bow to each other."

Margaret sat down next to Chris, while he started rubbing the top of her head. The contact sent tingles through the both of them, causing Margaret to lean more into his touch. 

After about ten minutes waiting, a man came across the bridge, carrying some clothing. Chris stopped rubbing Margaret's head, and stepped up to the man.

"Gamma Dwayne." Chris said.

"Alpha Chris." The man Margaret now new as the gamma named Dwayne answered. "Who is that?" 

Chris turned to Margaret, beckoning her over to him. She complied, as he spoke to his third. "I do not know her name yet, be it seems this beautifully large wolf is my mate." With a slight frown, he continues, "she seems our age, yet I think this is her first shift. I would have to guess her wolf has been dormant this whole time."

Whisper spoke to Margaret, "He's right on the money, isn't he?"

Margaret let out a whimper, not used to having a voice in her head.

Her whimper grabbed Chris's attention, as he started petting her again.

"Madeline should be here soon to help her shift back, with some clothes ready for her." Chris told his gamma.

Dwayne just nodded, giving Margaret a friendly smile. Looking back to his alpha, he said, "Okay. I should be getting back to help Adam shepherd the others here."

Chris laughs at his thirds choice of words, as his gamma took off.

Chris gets his clothes on, a pair of denim shorts, and a black t-shirt with skull on it.

When Margaret saw the picture of the skull, she cocked he head to the side. 

Seeing this, Chris looks down at his shirt, then back up to her saying, "yeah, I got a thing for skulls."

Margaret wags her tail, to show she likes skulls too. This little gesture induced a chuckle from Chris.

Then he tells her, "Madeline will be here soon to help you through this transition. I hate to have to leave you like this, but I have a date with the alpha of your pack."

Margaret then lays down, with an obviously bored look on her face.

After Chris left, Margaret only had to wait five minute, before a lady was seen crossing the bridge. She guessed this was probably Madeline, as she never seen this woman before. Margaret sat up to greet the new comer, with her tail wagging happily. Excited to get back to her human form. 

The woman stopped in front of her. "Well Alpha Chris did say you was a large wolf, but I was not expecting this." 

Her words made Margaret feel a little ashamed to have such a large wolf, as her tail stopped wagging, and she drooped her head.

"Oh perk up. we will get you back to normal in no time." Madeline said with a smile.

"Now just imagine you human form. your hair, eyes, legs, arms, face, everything."

Margaret did as she was told, and it wasn't long before she felt her bones shift. Soon, she was back in her human form, and completely nude. Embarrassed, she used her arms to cover herself.

Madeline laughed, and dropped a backpack, Margaret did not realize she was carrying. While shuffling around in the back, Madeline was muttering to herself, but Margaret could still hear her. "I don't understand how such a small girl, could become such a large wolf. Ah hah. Here it is!"

She pulls out some shorts, and a plain grey shirt, handing them off to Margaret.  Margaret quickly gets them on.

Now finally dressed, Margaret spoke, using her alpha daughter voice. "My name is Margaret, daughter of Alpha Mark, of the Eclipse Pack. Thank you for your help."

"Well Margaret, I am Madeline, mate to Beta Adam. Not to be confused with Savannah, mate to Gamma Dwayne, and my twin sister." Madeline responded. 

Margaret giggle. She had always wanted a sister, but got stuck with a pesky brother.

"So first shift huh?" Madeline asked.

"Yes. I don't get it. I am eighteen years old. I never shifted before. Everyone always made fun of me for being different, but it allowed me to be able to wear silver. So everyone just thought I was a human anomaly among werewolves." Margaret answers.

Madeline's eyes widened when she heard this. "Even late shifters cant touch silver before their first shift." 

"I was wearing a silver ring tis morning. It broke during the shift. I used it to get back at my brother this morning when he made fun of me for being a non-shifter. I didn't really torture him, Just tapped his arm with it. Even our father was amused."

"Wow. I think I have read something on this before. I am so going to have to look this up." Madeline exclaimed.

Margaret looked closer at Madeline, noticing her dark olive skin, and very dark brown hair. Dark brown, almost black, eyes. She was very pretty. 

Madeline's curiosity finally got the best of her. "So what happened when you shifted?"

Margaret started leading her back to her little fishing spot, while recapping the whole story.
