Chapter 2 The Change

"You have to be kidding? Right? This is all a joke and you have cameras hidden right?" I shout while jumping around trying to find a hidden camera.

"Kaylee this is all the truth. We should have been honest, but we were trying to obey your father last wish and command. When an alpha commands something you have to follow it." Dad says as he hides his head into his hands while my moms cries fill the living room.

"I-I-I don't understand." I cry falling to the floor covering my face.

"This is why you never get sick Kaylee. Not once have you been sick." My mom cries. She pulls me to her lap and strokes my hair, " that's the reason why. Because you are a werewolf." We all sit there in the floor for what feels like forever while they comfort me while I sob into their laps.

Ding-dong.

"Someone's at the door Rick." Mom speaks softly.

Dad gets up walking to the door.

Ding-dong

"I'm coming hold on." Dad speaks to whom ever is at the door.

Dad opens the door to reveal Bailey and Justin holding hands with smiles on their faces. They glance around and see my mom and I on the floor with her stroking my hair.

"I um I guess you told her hun sir." Justin speaks while running his blonde hair with a guilty look on his face. Bailey just looks at her shoes and looks to me with a guilty look and a half smile.

"Hey Kay." They both speak and look back to my dad.

"Yeah, we told her. She is still a bit shocked. Come on in you two." Dad speaks while gesturing for them to come in.

They both sit next to me and my mom. "Kay look we are sorry we didn't tell you but we swore an oath to never say anything until your parents told you." Bailey said while wiping away my tears.

"You guys knew?" I cried.

Justin looked sad and says, "yeah. We've known for a long time. We grew up together before the attack. We all use to run around the pack house playing together and playing hide and seek. After the attack for some reason you lost your memory. Nobody knows what happened to you."

"The doctors said they think it's because your mom died right in front of you, she was protecting you from one of the Rogues. The dr said you probably put up a mental wall to protect yourself." Dad said while running his hands over his face and threw his hair.

"Can I still call you guys mom and dad? I can't picture myself calling you differently." I sob while clutching onto my moms clothes while hiding my face.

"Of course princess you are still our daughter and we love you." Mom cries while stroking my hair.

We all five just sit there together in silence. Until mom finally spoke. "Kaylee. We need to get ready. The sun is starting to set. The ceremony will start soon and we have to travel up to the pack house. That's where you will shift into your white wolf for the very first time." She spoke gently.

Everyone starts getting up and Bailey extends her hand to me. Which I accept while she gently pulls me up.

"So Um since y'all are 17 does that mean y'all have already shifted?" I ask looking at Justin and Bailey.

"Yes," Justin replies looking at Bailey. "We are also mates." He says while smiling at her. With love clearly shinning in his eyes.

"Mates?" I ask.

"Yeah we haven't explained that to her yet guys." Dad says while helping mom up from the floor.

"Mates are who your destined to be with Kaylee. The moon goddess pairs you with someone who she believes is your other half. It's your decision to either accept or reject them. You won't be able to find them until after you shift for the first time." Mom says while looking at dad with a smile on her face. She turns to me and says, " your dad and I are also mates and your birth parents were also mates paired by the moon goddess. We will explain more later I promise. But right now you, Bailey, and I are going upstairs to get the dress I bought you for the ceremony on so let's go!" She says while taking my hand and leading me upstairs with Bailey right behind us.

We get to my room and Bailey shuts the door.

"So how are you handling everything Kay?" Bailey asks me with a sincere look on her tan face. She truly is pretty her red hair tied back in a high ponytail and her green eyes shinning with curiosity.

"Um I don't know. I feel confused and shocked." I pause, "but part of me knows everything is true. I just I don't know." I sigh as I sit on the bed watching my mom pull out a hanger that's covered in white plastic.

"I haven't seen that before. Where did it come from?" I ask my mom as she is walking to the bed.

"That's because I just got it after I dropped you off." She says with a smile on her face. She pulls down the plastic to expose a beautiful white dress with lace on top of it. It truly is beautiful.

"This is what you will wear. But after you shift it will be no more. It will literally be ripped to shreds. " she says as she shrugs her shoulders.

My mouth drops open with my eyes wide.

Her and Bailey both start laughing. "Girl shut your mouth before you catch a fly" Bailey chuckles.

They both help me get dressed into my new dress. Honestly I don't want it to rip. I love it. Looking into the mirror I can't help but stare. I look amazing. All my curves in full display. Just wow. They both look at me with love showing in their eyes and keep ranting about how beautiful I am and whomever my mate maybe is one lucky guy. Maybe he is lucky I think to myself smiling at my reflection. That is until a knock at the door diverts my attention.

"Come in Rick. You should see how beautiful our baby looks" mom practically yells.

Dad practically slams the door open and take my appearance in and smiles with tears in his eyes. "My beautiful princess. Your mom and dad would be so proud of you" he chokes out.

"Damn, you clean up nice Kay." Justin says then looks at Bailey who is literally growling at him.

"Bailey baby you know I only have eyes for you gorgeous. Kay is like my little sister."

She walks to him. "I know I can't help it. I'm possessive." She places a gentle kiss on his lips which makes him blush. Ewwww.

We all start laughing.

"Well we got to go. Let's get to the truck." Dad says while grabbing moms hand. We all head to the vehicles and decide to just take my dads.

For twenty minutes we have all been silent until mom breaks the silence.

"Baby girl you okay? Do you have any questions?"

I sigh looking at her, "no. I'm just nervous and scared. I don't know what to think or expect."

Dad looks at me through the rear view mirror. "Princess it's going to be okay. Your body knows what it's suppose to do. And deep down you do too just trust your instincts and don't fight it. It just makes it worse. It's going to be okay the whole pack will be there to support you. After all you are the only heir meaning you are their next alpha/Luna. Granted if you find your mate they technically will be the Alpha and you the Luna." He says as he looks back to the road.

"We are here!" Justin and Bailey both shout while pointing to a house that literally looks like a hotel.

"I figured we would have had to drive through some huge check point or gate or something." I say as I stare at the place they call the pack house.

"Technically if we were out of pack lands we would but we live in pack lands so we don't have too princess" mom spoke as she turned and looked at me smiling.

"Hun?!"

They all laugh.

"This whole town is pack land sweetie. Everyone here is a werewolf or they are mates to one" dad says chuckling at my reaction.

"So everyone at school is a werewolf?!" I practically yell.

"Yes Kaylee. And everyone knew you didn't know so we couldn't use any of our abilities. It is in the original non-disclosure agreement at school which you never got to see." Bailey says as she rubs my hand trying to soothe me.

"That's why everyone hates me. Because they couldn't be who they really are... because of me." I sigh looking down at my bare feet. "Um guys I forgot shoes."

They all laugh as dad parks the truck.

"Good thing you don't need them" dad says as the turns off.

We all start getting out and a crowd starts gathering in front of the truck with everyone whispering.

"Richard sir. The field is ready" someone spoke while looking at dad and I. Feeling insecure I look at my bare feet.

"Well let's head there now it's getting late and she could start at any time." Dad spoke while shaking the random mans hand.

"Kaylee this is Dylan. He was your dads best friend." Dad said as he introduced us.

"Um hi Dylan. It's um nice to meet you" I say as I shook his large hand.

"The pleasure is all mine Kaylee. We have all been waiting a long time." He says with a sincere smile on his dark face. He is tall. Maybe 6'2 and lean with many muscles like dads he has black hair and brown eyes. His white teeth stand out against his dark complexion.

"Thank you, um should we head to the field. I'm starting to feel a little.."

"Strange?" Mom cut me off.

"Yes." I reply

"We must hurry the change is starting" Dylan states.

We all start walking where Dylan and my father are leading.

"The blue moon pack has also joined us for this joyful occasion. I hope you don't mind sir. They said they felt they should be here considering how close they were to the fallen alpha and luna."

"That's fine Dylan. I think Alpha Sebastian and Luna Brielle would have wanted them here." My dad spoke with a sad tone.

So that's what my birth parents names are. It's beautiful.

We finally enter a clearing with a shit ton of people waiting for us. We all stop as two people begin walking up to us.

"Alpha Brandon and Luna Selene. What a pleasure. I'm so glad you guys came. Alpha Sebastian and Luna Brielle would be honored to know you are here." My dad spoke while bowing down to the people in front of us followed by mom, Bailey, and Justin. So I to found myself bowing down. Respect thing I guess.

"No need to bow Rick, we consider you all family. We do appreciate your respect. It never goes unnoticed." Alpha Brandon spoke while shaking my dads hand with a smile. "Now where is the birthday girl."

"Right here sir." I spoke while smiling and reaching my hand to him. Which he accepted then pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"It is a pleasure to meet you again young lady. I'm alpha Brandon and this here is my mate and Luna Selene." She smile at me and pulled me into a hug as well. They are definitely the hugging type of people. I smile at Luna Selene who has beautiful long blonde hair with brown eyes and the alpha has black hair and green eyes. They are both stunning. I smile to them both.

"It is a pleasure to meet you as well" I say with a smile.

At that very second the air around me grew hot and a pain hit sending me to my knees with a tears gathering in my eyes. It's happening..

"It's starting!" Mom yells and starts shouting orders at everyone around us. "Get her to the circle NOW!"

"Everyone runs to their spots while someone picks me up and starts walking to a circle that is lined with what looks like rocks or crystals. I can't tell what it is or who is carrying me because this pain is excruciating.

They gently lay me in the circle and walk away. All I can see is the man walking and standing beside the alpha and Luna. Everyone looks so blurry because tears are blurring my vision. I scream out in pain as the pain intensifies.

"Kaylee breathe. You're fighting the change. Stop fighting. Relax princess." Dad says with love and fear hidden in his voice.

Everyone around me starts chanting a prayer. I can't make out much other than my safety and something about the moon goddess. I start to relax and hear bones snapping. Oh god is it my bones snapping. I start to panic.

"Did you not tell her about what to expect?" A man yells with anger clearly evident in his intoxicating voice.

"We couldn't her father ordered us not to tell her about it till today. We didn't have a choice." My mother sobbed.

The man that placed me in the circle walked closer, "Kaylee is it?" He asked I shook my head yes while I screamed as another bone snapped. "Kaylee you need to calm down. Focus on my voice. Pretend you hear nothing else."

I listened to his voice and pushed everything else out. I focused on him and nothing else as a tear rolled down my burning face.

"Good Kaylee keep it up. The pain is almost over. Just relax and listen to my voice. Your okay. Your doing great." He said with a smile on his face.

My vision started to clear up. Holy moly he is the definition of sexy. Hot damn.

He smirked at me as if he could read my mind. "You're almost finished Kaylee" he smiled. His black hair and blue eyes stood out against his sun kissed skin in the moon light. And he is shirtless on my. His abs put dads to shame. And his muscle make me want to drool. Then another pain hit and I heard a howl.

"Good job Kaylee I knew you could do it." He said while looking at me.

I look down and see a paw. An actual fucking paw.

Gasp sound threw the crowd. Why are they gasping what's wrong. I try to stand but fall back to the ground.

"Kaylee it's okay nothing is wrong they are just shocked. Your color is rare. That's why they are gasping. Now try to stand up again but go slow this is new for you." The handsome man spoke looking directly at me.

I look down to my white feet and focus all my strength to standing on all fours and did it. I started feeling cool air and looked back to see my white tail wagging. That explains the cool air. Everyone around a start laughing at my excited self.

"Kaylee try walking now." The handsome man spoke so I did. Started walking straight to him. I don't know what it is about him but I'm drawn to him. Like I have to be near him.

I reached him and he smiled and touched my head petting me everyone just started at us while I started licking his hand that wasn't petting me and he started laughing.

Several howls enter my ears and I turn to see everyone here in wolf form.

Wow. This has to be a dream right.

I turn back to the handsome man who helped me and find a beautiful grey wolf sitting in his spot. He howls and nudges me. I nudge him back.

"Kaylee let's go for a run sweetheart." Moms voice sounded through my head.

"Mom how are you in my head?"

I hear her laugh echoing through my mind. "It's called mind-link sweetheart. I'll explain it later my princess."

"Okay mom. A run sounds nice."

I look up to the moon and howl. Soon my ears are filled with many many many more howls and we all took off running.
