Ade woke up to a really bright light shining in her face, she groaned and flipped over on her bed and buried her face in the pillow with her scent on it, she felt hot so she threw the covers off her body and lay there thinking about her birthday, today she was sixteen and she was really excited.
She jumped out of bed and walked into her bathroom and got dressed for the day before leaving and going down stairs, she smelled bacon and eggs her favorite breakfast, she walked into the kitchen with a big smile, walked over to her mother and kissed her cheek before saying.
"Morning Mama breakfast smells Delicious"
"Good Morning baby girl did you sleep okay?"
"Yeah but i am real excited 'bout my party tonight"
Her mother turned and looked at her with a smile but her eyes shined with worry, not that Ade seen because she was to busy thinking about what she had to do for the day before the party.
she sat down and ate her breakfast with her mama then she brought her plate to the kitchen sink before going back to sit down.
"So mama do you think the Deverauxx's will be there?"
"I am sure they will sweetie Carol hasn't stopped talking 'bout it all week."
"That's good i have really missed them lately, they haven't been round as much since Nate got sick, it's a pity that he got sick the night of his birthday i sure as hell am glad it wasn't me. Well mama i need to get my stuff i am going to town do you want anything?"
"No darling i am fine but thank you"
"sure mama love you"
"Love you to Darling"
Ade left through the front door and got into her car while driving to town she was thinking about Nate she really missed him it was like he was avoiding her or something since that party, he just left without any warning his parent's claimed he was sick the poor boy.
After fifteen minutes of driving she came to the town center and drove to her best friend Sookie's house as she parked in the drive way she seen Sookie walk into the house, she must have been at Carol's she thought, Carol is Sookie's next door neighbor she was a drunk and always asked Sookie for help, the girl had to much of a big heart.
Ade left her car and walked to Sookie's front door from where she was Ade could hear Sookie talking to someone.
"She doesn't even know what's going to happen tonight Nate she is going to fucking freak out"
The person on the phone must have said something because Sookie sighed a defeated sigh and said her goodbyes.
Ade knocked at Sookie's door and heard her come to answer the door.
"Oh hey Ade how are you? Excited about tonight?"
"Yeah i am really excited i can't wait to see who turn's up" She replied with a grin on her face
They walked as they were talking into Sookie's living room and sprawled on the sofa and started talking about the upcoming party before looking at the time and getting up to get dressed within two hours Sookie and Ade were ready they both looked beautiful, Ade in her cream Greek goddess style dress with one shoulder and the front of it with material that looked like silk she really felt like the Goddess she was dressed up as, Then there was Sookie in her short red dress with a trail floating behind her, the straps of her dress was covered in diamond's which was as always Sookie's favorite thing to wear.
Sookie looked over at her friend and smiled but she had a sadness in her eyes at the dread of the upcoming night Ade was going to be terrified of what was going to happen she is going to try and reject it all, she could kill her self in the process.
Why Ade's parent's had not told her she was a Wolf was a mystery to the whole pack and not just Sookie.
Sookie would have loved to tell her but it was not her place, she had been ordered by Ade's father Terry not to say anything and as the Beta of the pack she had to obey him.
She was worried about what Ade would say when she found out, she knew she would be angry but there was nothing she could do about it right now.
Ade hooked her arm through Sookie's and said "come on were going to be late for my own party"
"Yes that's true" Sookie giggled softly.
They both got into Sookie's car and drove to the Deverauxx's house where the party would be held, Ade did not understand why the party had to be held there but she was just glad that she was having her party somewhere rather then not having one at all.
When they arrived at the party Ade was pleasantly surprised she was just standing there staring at everything, as she stood in one spot she turned around in a circle, there were fairy lights hanging from the tree's and big gazebo's put around the garden and small cozy fire's dotted around the garden each with their own logs around them for people to sit at.
This wasn't exactly what Ade had planned but her plan paled in comparison to this one.
She giggled softly and walked back over to Sookie hooking her arm through hers and saying with a hint of her southern accent coming out "come on baby lets dance"
They both walked over to the makeshift dance floor and danced for a while before Ade began to mingle with her guests, she met everyone from the town and talked the night away but then as it hit ten thirty people started to leave but Ade didn't really notice as she began to fill dizzy and had a bad cramp in her stomach she walked to the bathroom and splashed her face with water not caring about her make up.
After a few minutes the pain became excruciating and she fell to her knee's with a groan clutching her stomach, her body started to twist and turn and she was hyperventilating not knowing what was happening to her scared her more then anything, then she heard a knock at the door and she tried to open it but ended up knocking shampoo bottles from the shelves and let another low groan escape her lips. She heard Nate Deverauxx call her name she could not figure out why he was there. Her last thought before she blacked out was 'what the hell is happening to me am i dying?'
when she woke up she felt weird she tried to stand but her four legs just collapsed under neath her like a new born colt's would, then she whipped her head from side to side wondering why on earth she had four legs, she looked up and spotted her father in the corner he walked slowly toward her saying softly "Ade it's alright you have phased for the first time and i know its a bit disorienting but it is normal" she tried to reply but all that came out of her mouth was a low whine.
"I know sweetie your confused but you need to go to the woods and run for a while, Nate will be up in a minute to show you OK?"
She gave another low whine and dropped her head low she felt an aura from her father one of authority one that meant she would obey him whether she liked it or not. after a few minutes another wolf walked into the room he was a big majestic wolf with a blaze like pattern on his side it was more or less a cream color and with a white patch down his mouth and a few white hairs on his ear, she backed away into the corner cowering low to the floor.
She heard Nate's voice in her head asking her to follow him and she yelped from surprise.
Slowly she moved forward her four legs wobbling she would not look up at anyone as she walked forward but looked at the floor instead, she was scared and did not know what was happening to her, as she got to the door she lost her concentration and wobbled before sprawling out on the floor, she heard Nate make a sound half between a laugh and a growl and she looked up at him with her teeth pulled back she growled low in her throat and was surprised at the noise that came from her.
Nate looked at Ade and walked forward he stood tall and proud and said to Ade in her mind
"I am your Alpha Ade you will respect me do not growl at me again or i will take it as a challenge"
She just looked at him as if he were crazy and got up off the floor and slowly made her way outside, her wolf wanted to run but something kept running through her head like a mantra.
"Mate Mate Mate Mate Mate Mate"
She tried to shake off the noise but to no avail so she just decided to ignore it and took off running through the woods.
She chased after rabbits and deer, never in her life had she felt so free, so alive.
She pulled her head back and howled low and in answer she heard her pack howl back with joy, she had accepted what she was or at least her wolf had.
The next morning i Woke up and god my bones hurt but i felt free and at ease With myself as if a Weight had been lifted from my shoulders, i stretched slowly in bed and realized With a start that i Wasn't in my room for starters my bed sheets are not cotton and i do not have blue Walls, i sat up quickly and put my hands to my head to keep it from spinning, god i felt like i had the Worst hang over ever.
When my head finally stopped spinning i took a look around the room it Was defiantly a boy's room as everything had a masculine feel to it but i couldn't figure out for the life of me how i got here, slowly i climbed out of bed and realized i Was Wearing a really big over sized t-shirt and shorts, i spotted a picture on the bedside cabinet and took a closer look it Was Nate With his parent's, i must be in his room then.
I quietly got out of bed and Walked to the connecting bathroom careful not to alert anyone that i Was awake, I Went into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror i Was a mess, Hair all over the place and mud on my cheeks.
HoW in god's name did i get into this state i thought to my self.
Washing my hands and face and fixing my hair or at least trying to, i Walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom then made my Way down stairs to see Who Was up, I heard voices coming from the kitchen so headed that Way When i Walked into the kitchen i seen people standing around and laughing When i spotted Nate my heart skipped a beat and my face flushed red, he then turned to look at me and i ducked my head to shy to look at him, What has gotten into me i am the last person Who Would be shy around Nate!.
I shook my head slowly and looked up to everyone staring and me and Mrs Deverauxx had a smile on her lips as if she knew something i did not, When Nate asked me to sit down and have some breakfast his voice made all of the panic and confusion i had drain out of my body, I took slow deliberate steps towards him and sat down When i looked at the array of food on the table my stomach rumbled and i blushed crimson While Nate just chuckled.
"You must be hungry if your stomach is making that kind of racket" he said in a voice that told me he Was smiling.
