Chapter 2: Birthdays, Mates & Missions

"Are you two excited?" I asked Blair and Sam. They were only fifteen, the youngest of our group, and today was their sixteenth birthday. It was an extra special event because when a werewolf turns sixteen they can finally shift in to their wolfs.

"Actually I'm quite nervous. Some of the other pack members told us that it's a painful process." Sam said. "It's only painful at the beginning because it's the first time your body is breaking and putting itself back together in another form besides this one. But the moon goddess will help you. They were just teasing you. It's not that painful trust me." I explained to them.

They smiled, "Then I guess we aren't so nervous anymore, I'm quite excited to be honest." Blair had a huge smile on his face. "Finally we won't be so young anymore, being the youngest ones in the group sucks." Sam agreed.

"How? We treat you both the same, you know there's no difference to us." We really didn't, we loved them both just like we did the rest of us. Age didn't matter between us.

When we all hit our teen years and they were still twelve it got a bit weird only because they still acted like kids and we were a bit more mature. But we never left them behind they were still part of our group. We all met when we all became the best trained fighters our pack had.

"It's just we feel too young, like we don't belong you know?" Sam asked. "I get what you mean but you aren't okay? You're both very important to us." They smiled at me and nodded. "Alright now go get ready the ceremony starts in three ours!" I playfully messed up their hair and pushed them towards the hall that lead to the rooms.

"Valerie, are you done with picking out their clothes? I'll take it to them." I asked Val. I walked over to her where she was in a room where we held clothes for the special ceremony.

"Yeah I'm done, here this is for Sam and this is for Blair." She said handing me the clothes. "Those are the right sizes right?" She asked and I looked over them and nodded. "Yup they are, I'll see you later I'm going to deliver this to them then change." I told her and walked out the room and made my way to Sam's. I knocked on her door and she opened it.

"I brought you your clothes for tonight do you like it?" I asked her. Her bright ocean blue eyes shinning in delight at the clothes.

The outfit was a top that seemed to be made of skin that would only reach just above her belly button, and a skirt that was quite short as well. No shoes were needed but she would ware a bracelet on her ankle that held teeth of past alphas. Also in the middle it held a white moon.

"I love it, it looks amazing I'm going to put it on okay?" She asked taking the outfit with her into the bathroom. "When your done meet me and Blair outside the hall for the red skin painting." With that I left the room and walked over to Blairs room. I gave him his clothes and told him to meet me outside with Sam.

Next I went to my room to change as well. The whole back would have to wear clothes similar to Blair and Sam's, the skin like cloths that were skirts for men and similar clothes as to what Sam would wear for us women. But their clothes would be much more special.

I put on my skirt and top. The skirt had a string of beads going down from each side and one in the front and the back. They all connected at the bottoms, it looked pretty. The top had a string of beads that also went down the front and when it reached above my belly button it parted to ways to connect with the sides of my skirt.

I put two white stripes of paint that went around my left arm horizontally. I finished and tried to fix my golden light brown curls. They liked to be wild.

"Skylar, are you done?" I heard William ask from outside my door. I opened it and let him in. "Yeah I'm done why?" I asked him. "Because I don't have any of the paint and I was wondering if you could lend me some." I walked back inside to fetch the paint for him.
