Chapter 14 Birthday Girl!

Today was the day I was finally going to shift. Melly could be heard barking orders of where to place things. She was usually so sweet but when she was organizing something she was scary. I was upstairs deciding what to wear. Logan had suggested a dress as it would be more comfortable for my first shift. I was excited but Cinder seemed to be on edge since yesterday. It was like she was pacing inside my head impatient for something. I tried to ask her what was up yet even she had no idea what the feeling was. I decided on a small mint-colored dress the back was longer than the front and there were no sleeves. I just hope it doesn't get too chilly out tonight. I was also told to forgo any shoes as they would most likely make things uncomfortable. I walked over to the washroom to get dressed and saw the dried-up little flower on the counter. My heart did a weird jump. I was probably just nervous about tonight. Once I was dressed I played with my hair deciding on a hairstyle. I settled on making some kind of princess crown with two braids connecting at the back with the rest on my hair down. It was simple and cute.

I looked myself over one more time before nodding in approval. I jumped when I heard Logan speak from the doorway. "Holy shit a little warning next time babe!" I told him holding my heart. He smirked "Awe did the big bad wolf scare you?" he teased. I smirked "No but the yippy chihuahua sure did." I joked back. He growled playfully and took a step forward. I put my hands up "No. No don't you dare I just finished getting ready!" I exclaimed. Thankfully I was saved by Melly yelling for Logan to come help with something. Haha saved by the partyzilla. Logan groaned although he wouldn't dare argue with her today. He playfully glared at me "This isn't over." he warned as he headed downstairs.

Well, I still had about an hour before the party started so what else should I do but go for a stroll. Logan was wary of letting me go on my own since what happened yesterday with the black wolf. Melly explained to me that a lot of males could get overly possessive with a female if they haven't formed their mate bond, they start to worry that she may not want them or that another male could potentially steal her away. I guess that would explain how Logan was behaving but I just wasn't ready I wanted to know more about being a werewolf before jumping into a lifelong bond.

I came to my favorite place once again, it was so peaceful here. I sat down on my calves to keep my dress clean. I played around with some of the wildflowers that had been growing in the clearing. My head shot up as I saw that flash of white again "Hello?" I called out. I didn't receive an answer. I could feel Cinder jumping around full of energy however neither of us could understand why. I could feel someone in the woods nearby, for some reason they felt sad. How did I know that? I looked around some more "You can come out I won't hurt you I promise." I assured. I stayed still for a few moments I was sure they would stay hidden from me.

I was amazed when I saw a rather large white head poke out from behind the foliage. His fluffy head was almost twice the size of the black wolf. I stumbled back a little causing the wolf to whimper and back up a little. I felt a pang in my heart "It's okay you just startled me there big guy." I giggled. His ears perked up as I laughed and he pranced over. He sat down in front of me wagging his tail. The motion alone was causing a small breeze moving anything that was behind him. I smiled feeling completely safe with this big teddy. I slowly got up and reached my hand towards him. This motion made him shove his huge muzzle into my hand and he practically let out a sigh of relief. I felt this strange tingling feeling rush up my arm. It must be because of his silky soft fur. I wonder how he kept it so white. I looked into his deep dark blue eyes, and I could feel the whole world around me disappear.

I was pulled out of our little bubble when he shot up hearing another wolf howl. He quickly nuzzled my neck making me giggle from the warm fuzzy feeling before taking off. Cinder had calmed down significantly once that was over. That's when it hit me, Logan was gonna lose his shit if he smelt another male's scent. I had to rush home to shower and change all before the party started. I booked it back home, thankfully Logan was still busy with helping out Melly. I rapidly got upstairs and showered using his body wash hoping that would cover the scent. I tossed my dress into the bottom of the hamper before rushing to choose a new dress. I grabbed the first one I could see a long simple pale blue that nearly matched my eyes. Just as I finished redoing my hair I heard the bedroom door open and close. Logan gave me a quizzical look "Why did you change your dress angel?" he wondered. I sighed and waved my hand "I went for a stroll in the wood and it got dirty." I explained. He shrugged and walked over to get his clothes for the party.

He was wearing a pair of jeans and a black button-up shirt for the party. His hair was its usual messy do. I gave him a peck on the cheek "I'll meet you downstairs." I informed him when he grabbed my arm stopping me "Are you wearing my bodywash?" he questioned. I giggled "I want the others to know I'm all yours." I replied. He chuckled letting me go "Alright I'll see you downstairs." he told me as I left. I sighed in relief as I made it to the bottom of the stairs. Melly ran over to me wearing a beautiful short forest green sundress "Eva you look amazing." she gushed. I smiled "Same to you foxy lady." I complimented. Melly grinned " Let's get this party started, the older kids are watching the pups for the night so we get to let loose a little." she cheered as she led me outside. The sight was amazing there was a food and drinks table of course as well as a bonfire, music, some games going on here and there. Melly smiled at my reaction but the big thing was yet to come. My first shift.
