5. Awakening

Andrea POV

Today is the day that I have been waiting or for the past 18 years.

The day I get to meet my wolf.

I wondered what she would look like.

Would she be brown like hair, grey eyes just like mine or would she be a darker version of myself.

I really couldn't wait, until i got the call.

'Hello my baby girl, Happy 18th birthday! I can't believe today is your awakening. I remember the first time I saw you, born today at 6:49 pm. You had such curious eyes and I knew then the Priestess Selene blessed me with a daughter born of her blood.....' my mom was already starting to sob as my father then jumped on the line.

'Tonight will be your first shift, make sure you are far from the city limits to take a run but be careful not to cross the border, Alpha Lincoln's warriors are already aware of your awakening so don't worry my dear.'

That was my dad straight to the point and not quiet as mushy as my mom.

"Yes daddy I know, I did hope that you and mom might join me for my first run. But I know it isn't allowed. And of course I will be careful" I told him trying not to sound worried.

It is customary that every werewolf's first change be alone so that if their wolf looses control its well away from any human or other supernatural.

Sometimes, new awakened wolves get so overwhelmed that they start killing everything that moves, and we have to learn to gain control to work as one.

Because if your wolf is stronger then your human form it begins to push you out of your own mind and sometimes a parabond can be broken.

A parabond is the link that ties every Were to their supernatural being.

Once your wolf pushes you out it is said that your wolf then takes control of your human form and can change at will and becomes its own alpha.

It is forbidden to have those that break their parabond live.

Because they become blood mad and kill whatever they want even if it is human.

They are a threat and always dealt with swiftly, minimizing exposure of our species.

'That's my girl, here is your mother again, and don't forget to call us when you get in. Just so we know that you gained control, and you are safe. Happy hunting my dear…calm down she's not on death row...' I chuckled.

"Thanks dad and I will definitely call you. Miss you and mom, hugs hugs hugs." I said as my mom continued to sob into the phone.

Then the line went dead.

No doubt that my father hung up the phone because she was way to emotional, not that I blame him, but sometimes my mom just can't get that I'm grown.

Just as I hung up the phone my door burst open and my so called reflexes caused me to throw my phone to who came in.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEETCH!" Nessi came barging in my room holding what looks to be a cinnamon roll with a single candle at the top.

"AHHHH! What are you psycho!" I shouted trying to find where i threw my phone.

"Well if you didn't want your birthday cinna you could have just told me, I could have eaten it myself." She said pretending to be hurt with a glint of playfulness in her eyes.

"NO, NO, NO, I want it, please" I begged trying to crawl off my bed.

"Birthday wish first and then we eat" she nodded her head towards the kitchen.

No doubt that she made me a birthday breakfast.

She was always the better cook, and I was always the organizer.

Which is why living together worked out so wonderfully.

As she approached me I thought about what my wish would be and there was only one thing in my life that I really wanted-the regretted night that I had with Beta Jason to never take place.

I wanted to be pure for my mate once again, even though it was highly unlikely, that was still my wish.

When our clocked chimed noon Nessi gave me a big smile.

She knew I wanted to get out of the city early for my shift so we had already packed for the rest of the week and not returning until Sunday.

Seeing as how Lakewood didn't have the privacy I needed to really go on a hunt.

We needed to leave for the airport for another location.

It was a short flight to Avery Field Airport in Maine so sleeping or resting wasn't possible.

When we landed a few warriors from the Ebony pack were there to show us the way to the best hunting spots on their territory.

I was definitely fortunate that my father was the Alpha of Blood Rain, the largest pack of wolves in North America.

Other packs normally don't open their territory to newly awakened wolves.

Seeing how well my father negotiated with the Ebony Pack makes me admire his skills as an Alpha. From the airport it was another hour to the cabin.

Nessi was sleeping so much I had to shake her a few times to make sure she was still alive.

As for me I could not rest seeing as how I was extremely anxious and just wanted to hurry and get there so that I may have a chance to run in human form.

Nessi and I got settled into a cabin we would be using while we were there.

We had more then enough food and it wasn't like we were there to watch movies so we immediately started getting a layout of the land around us.

To the east was forest, to the north was a lake that signaled the end of Ebony territory and started the Eclipse Crests of the northern packs, the west held mountains and another border and the south humans.

Well now that I had a map in my mind about what I needed to look out for, food was calling my name.

As if reading my mind, Nessi was already making us a few sandwiches and pulled the cheesecake from the fridge.

"I don't know how long you will be so I made sure to put this on the supply list" waving the cheesecake under my noise.

"Your the bestest friend I could ever hope for, and even better sister" eyeing the cake as she cut it into six pieces.

And yes we love our cheesecake.

"Your family, there is no need to thank me, and besides you did more for me when I first shifted" she said smiling at me

It was true, she shifted 4 months prior and before the sun came up she was already back.

No doubt the beta in her had her wolf under control in minutes.

I hoped I would be that lucky.

It was just after 6pm when I decided to head out.

I hugged Nessi one more time as i picked up the backpack I would need for when I shift back to human form.

I decided to go north and then let my wolf decided on the direction after that.

I was walking for a few minutes when it suddenly hit me.

Pain!

Lots and lots of pain that seemed like waves upon waves, and the cracking of of my bones.

Each time one cracked and broke it sounded like the breaking of thunder in the sky signaling a bad storm.

Everything was slow, and it would not speed up I started to fight the repositioning of my bones.

That's when I heard her.

'Just breathe Andrea, your not alone. My name is Siaya and I am your parabond" a melodic voice filled my head that made me calm my breathing and focus.

Siaya.

My wolfs name was Siaya.

She appeared in my mind as if I'm seeing her clear as day.

She was beautiful.

Larger then regular werewolves, maybe due to me being the daughter of an Alpha.

She had the same grey eyes but with slivers of white in them, large paws and dark brown fur with what look to be strands of gold.

"Wow, your beautiful" I told her trying to breathe and stand at the same time.

'Thank you Andrea, I've been wondering when I would get to wake up. Now that I'm here we can get through this together' she told me.

Once I was able to control my breathing she coached me through what I needed to do, how to accept myself to fully embrace her form.

To give in to the pain rather then fear it.

Just as she appeared in my mind She stood, she was much larger then I though.

I remembered Nessi's wolf and her wolf was maybe half my size.

I was worried that maybe Siaya was going to loose control when she didn't move or say anything after our shift.

"Siaya, can you hear me?" I asked her.

'Yes I'm here' was all she said to me, but I could feel how excited and happy she was.

With that I calmed down enough to let her take control, she doesn't seem to be manic or blood hungry.

'Where is mate' she suddenly asked me.

"I have not found him yet. Now that you are here I'm sure we can sense him together." I told her.

'Then who's pup do we have growing inside us!' She said causing a shocked expression to freeze on my face.

"Pregnant! Are you sure?"

'Yes, can you not feel the life that is with you?' She asked like i should already know.

No, this can't be happening.

This can't be real.

No I can't be.

It has only been a week since the night of my drunken blackout, so of course I didn't feel anything.

I guess i didn't feel my baby because Siaya wasn't with me.

And now that she appeared all my senses heightened, thats when I heard the faint rhythmic fluttering of my baby.

Then fear took over, my mother and father!

How am I suppose to do this?

I'm not marked and I am unclaimed, I can't be pregnant.

I would surely be killed by my own father.

'Don't worry we can figure it out together' Siaya said trying to comfort me.

"I'm so sorry Siaya, I'm not worthy to be your parabond. I will understand if you want to break our bond" i told her on the verge of tears.

'No, I chose you. You are strong and have a good heart. I'm proud to be your wolf', she spoke softly to me.

"But I just gave you a death sentence" I told her.

'Let's not worry abut that right now, the Priestess has blessed us. Our pup is strong I can feel him" she told me

"Him? Me and the Beta will have a son?" I asked again

'Beta? No I can feel Alpha blood in him, he's strong and will be born under the light of the blood Moon eclipse" and I smiled, a real smile that I have my wolf, and a son on the way.

I have to tell someone.

Nessi!

She would surely know what advice to give me and we headed for the cabin.

Nessi sat there.

Not saying a word.

Not looking at me.

I can't even tell if she's breathing.

I laid everything out for her, and watched her as she took everything in.

I was sure she would be yelling, flipping out or at least cursing the Beta that put the pup in me.

But nothing, she just sat there.

I wondered if she heard anything that I said.

I wanted to know what she thought.

About the night it all happened, the Beta, a pup and my wolf.

"I don't know what to think of everything, can you please say something" i asked her.

"WOAH!" Was all that came from her.

"And?!"

"Annnnnd, ugh, woah!" That was it?

I needed something.

"What am I going to do, we are suppose to be going back to the pack in just over a month. My father is goin to have me hunted down and ripped apart. I'm scared." I told her.

"No, No he wont. First because he's your dad. He might be cruel but he would never do that to you. Secondly, The priestess will never let your fate be ruined, she won't let the pup survive because the Beta isn't your mate. So its only a matter of time before your body does what it needs to. And thirdly, you have me. Your my sister, i would never let anything happen to you." She then engulfed me into a bear hug.

Instantly i felt better.

With my wolf and my bestie by my side.

I can make this right.

For myself, for Siaya and for my mate.
