competition.” He said after few minutes “We should just train. And after your transformation… in which pack you gonna be? You are from Dan’s I heard that yesterday night… but you live here.”

“If my mate is here… I’m staying.” He nodded.

When we went far enough from the crowd I sat on the sand and he did next to me.

“When is the first competition?”

“After a month”

“Month?” he nodded “We’ll have enough time to practice guess”

“If your transformation is tomorrow… don’t you feel the attraction?”

“I might not have a mate Axel.” I smiled. “Let’s go eat something? There’s few cafes around.” He nodded “Since you know so much about the twins... how old are you?”

“I am really old.” He said. “756 years old.”

“Wow. And you are not dead yet?”

“Do I look dead?” he laughed

“Where’s your mate anyway?”

“She’s…” he made a pause “In weird situation. Fell in love with somebody… really bad person.”

“She did? From the wolf’s laws you can kill them both.”

“I’ve killed a lot of people, my hands are full of blood of other people, but I can’t kill her. For me it’s impossible.”

“I understand…”

“You are from Dan’s pack…” I nodded and stepped on the parking lot with bare feet. I sat on the ground and wore my shoes “Even in a small town, your pack is one of strongest here. You are White… and I have to tell you something.”

“What is it?” I said standing up, removing the sand off my jeans.

“I killed your Grandfather”

“What?”

“Your father’s dad. White. He came here to look for his mate, but back then nobody let any person to come near us. I was one of the guards on our territory, it was my shift.”

“Why you are telling me this?”

“You should know. He had a son… I knew that, but still I killed him. I bet your dad is a good person Jess. And handsome.” He smirked “You are beautiful little creature. Your mate will be lucky.”

“I doubt that.” I said sitting behind him “Past stays there, not worth it looking behind, my dear Axel. Why should I suffer for person who I never met? ”

 

After lunch and few more hours spending time with him, it was time to go home. We are on the half way home, I’m sitting behind him and hugging him tight. Well I wonder why we shouldn’t try now.

I untied my hands around him and placed them on his shoulders. I raised myself a bit.

“What are you doing?” I heard him. I placed my both feet on the seat. I smirked. I raised my hands to keep balance. “Jessica!”

“Keep going” I said “Just keep going…” I laughed. The wind was amazing. I felt free and completely full of energy. If it's always like this I’ll want to do it every day… let it be. 

The drivers of the passing cars were watching me amazed, but I could care less. The adrenaline was making me doing weird things... for god sake I accepted to be his partner into this. Isn’t that insane!? Yes it is crazy and insane. I love it. Soon… I’ll be a wolf, which means I can do a lot more things and not to care about anything.

I sat down again when we came into the town. My smile was wide. Like I found my best friend who was hiding for centuries. When we stopped front the house, I felt my legs numb.

“ARE YOU CRAZY?”  He yelled, I laughed and saw his angry face fading away.

“No… but if I am going to feel this… every time… I am totally with you in this.”

“Yes one of the best feelings ever is the speed sweetheart. I love it, so I am using it as a hobby.”

“You can be my new hobby too!” I smiled. Why… did I said that? Oh yea… the horny feeling came into me earlier. I closed my eyes “Sorry about that… sounded wrong” I looked the sunset

“No.. It doesn’t at all.” He said and stepped closer to me, he lifted me and placed me on his motorbike. “You know you are the first girl who sits on this right?”

“No” I shook my shook my head “I thought you even have a mate or a girlfriend. Should I feel special?”

“Yes, you should.” He leaned down “You are lucky, little girl”

“I know” I said smiling. “Let’s go.”

We walked into the house. I wonder how many generations live here? They are quite a lot I suppose, plus their lands are huge. I even saw few more big houses far from this one. Well since you can make the houses, why not? It doesn’t bother me at all, if you ask me. I removed my gloves, and putted them in my pockets.

“Where were you two?” I heard Harry from the stairs.

“Beach… then went for a lunch. Something wrong?” Axel asked.

“No, but today we are waiting Ash to transform.” He nodded and looked me.

“Oh go…” I said “Don’t worry for me. I’ll be alright.”

“But you said…”

“I know what I said Axel. Go.”

 

After a shower and small snack… nothing left to do. I went outside of the balcony and sat on railing and leaned my back and head on the wall. And I am alone again. My depression is just keep going through me. I looked the backyard. Stanley has other methods for the first time shifters. They don’t hide in cave like our pack, they are staying outside. They are sitting in a circle… and just talk and wait.

I looked Axel. Why he has to be so good looking? And his muscles are… huge, let me not talk about his abs. Before an hour ago he was going to kiss me right? I felt that too… Like I felt his thoughts in me. He wants me. Badly. Half of the guys wants me most of the time… nothing new for me.

He raised his head and looked me. I kept his sight. I nodded at him and he smiled. He’s kind. Why he is kind with me? I am stranger after all, who came from nowhere. I am from the enemy’s pack. Seeking revenge? Or my own happiness?

I would never know.

Chapter 7 - Gold

Jessica’s P.O.V

 

I woke up with a pain again. It’s the same pain when my brother got his tattoo… but now it’s over my body. It’s hurting me a lot. Why I am the only person who has this kind of pain inside? Whatever happens I get most hurt from all people around me. This sucks. Am I that different from other people?

I am still at the railing on the balcony. One wrong move and I’ll fall down. I can get over the pain… it’s not that bad actually. Is this making me a masochist? Or maybe I just took so much pain, that I don’t realize it anymore?

I touched my forehead. Sweaty, as my whole body. I looked the field. This Ash was literally screaming by the pain. I stepped on balcony’s floor and I fell on my knees. Okay this is going to be bad I suppose?

After few minutes I was laying on the floor coughing. All my senses were getting better and better. I started to feel all the awful scents around me, also my sight, I can even see the concrete structure of the balcony. My hearing was getting better and better.

“Hey where did… new… go?” I can’t hear well. Fuck this. Focus goddammit “She was sitting over there before few minutes”

“Probably went to sleep Wilson” I heard Harry’s voice

“I am fucking not sleeping…” I whispered and closed my eyes. I heard popping and crackling and then felt bigger pain than before. I screamed and opened my eyes. My hands were shaking and the bones were moving under my skin. I could see them moving under my skin. How’s that even possible? I am sure it’s not possible.

“Is that a girl’s scream? I hear crackling”

“Her transformation started.” I heard Axel.

“What? She doesn’t have 18?”  Two stood up and started running. I shrank and tried not to scream. Why did you screamed… why...?

The front door of our apartment opened and I heard fast steps.

“Geez, sugar… what happened with you?” I heard Axel who was picking me up in sitting position. He leaned me on the wall of the balcony and looked me.

“So she started transforming. She has a twin” Harry stated. I nodded “Knew it. She had 2 scents in one.”

“Hurts” I said panting.

“Calm down okay?” Axel sat front me. “Let me give a hint… Think about the speed.” He smiled.

The electricity came through my body again. Why this is happening? Little by little he started to shine and glow. That’s the same feeling as Alec... when he looked Fiona. This can’t be possible… I thought I won’t have a mate… at least not one of the oldest people in the country.

“You start to shine…” I said he nodded.

“I know. You shine too in my eyes sweetheart.” Harry sighed. And he transformed into his wolf form. His color of the in bright brown color. His eyes were same blue colored. I felt like I want to bow down to him. He’s my true Alpha… not Grandpa. He jumped on the railing and howled as same time, my body exploded with a huge warmth. I was staying on 4 legs. My body wasn’t hurting me at all. Instead of Dan’s pack people in my mind… I heard different unknown voices, one of them was dominating than others.

Somebody hit gently my nose with his, I raised my head. The wolf was huge. Maybe few times bigger than me. I suddenly felt like a dwarf to him. His fur was in gold colored fur, but in darker shades. I stepped closer to him curious. He returned on my reactions with gentleness.

“ATTENTION EVERYBODY” I heard a voice in my head. Harry’s voice, I looked him how he jumped off the balcony. “We have an unexpected member of our pack. Jessica White.” The voices started getting louder and louder, amusing how a member of other pack came here. “SILENCE. It’s her choice if she will stay here or return to her old Pack. Axel and Jessica, please, come down here. ” Axel jumped off the balcony and I followed him down. I landed easily. We went to the circle of wolves. Everybody looked me with respect, and all bowed down. Harry moved front his pack looking at me. “Me, Harry, the Alpha of the Stanley’s pack, I give you a choice Jessica White. Where do you wish to stay? Here with this Stanley's pack or to go back to your Family’s pack? Pick up wisely.”

“I…” Where should I go? I told Axel I’ll stay here if my mate is here… and he is my mate… so… “I’m staying here in Stanley’s pack” I said and raised my head to Harry. He nodded with improving my decision.

“Good. Please welcome our newest members of the Pack. Jessica White and Ash Stanley.” Everybody raised a howl. I felt happy. “Let’s go for a run, shall we?”

 

After the race and running all around their territory, we came back in the house. They have served another dinner the big dining room. Everybody sat there. They were talking loud and they were laughing. Like nothing happened. Axel was sitting next to me, really close
