Zale kicked the door open as Sara stopped meditating she hummed in Icelandic and stared at us in shock and slowly caught her breath. She crossed her legs, placed her hands on her chest and groaned. She was in a ring of large scented candles.

"Gods. You scared me."She shouted, staring at us as Zale panted heavily as I landed on my paws. Zale ran his fingers through my fur and tried to catch his breath. I looked around and noticed that we were in a cabin instead of her dome."If you're wondering why I am here, I hate to see those wolves roaming around and I prefer peace and quiet."Sara said laughing then I gaped. 'Just to answer your questions I can control my shifts even in this moon even if the urge is still there."She answered me effortlessly as I closed my mouth shut. She smiled again, with her creepy smile. She grabbed my snout and stared at me intently."So you've finally shifted, aye."She said.

"You knew?"

"Yes, I knew, even before she was human the moon goddess tells her children everything."She casually shrugged.

I whimpered and stared at Zale, who was equally confused as me. She clasped her fingers together and rolled her shoulders. Tonight, she wore a yellow tea shade, a bandana and loose flowy skirt and her toes peeking out of it.

I stared at the wooden floor and noticed a yoga mat on the floor. She swatted her hands and gestured for me to come closer, so I waddled."You were triggered."She said.

"Triggered by what?"Zale asked, his voice an octave higher and his body tensed. She opened one eye and hissed through clenched teeth."By the metallic or golden flower?"

We shared a look with each other as Zale rubbed his shaved jaw in confusion and sighed."I'm so confused. I really thought it was a myth, but why metal or gold just pick one."He said with a groan as I nodded, "But it was stories and fables spread for generations so no one actually knows how it looks ."She added.

"What did you smell?"She inquired, and paused to look at Zale."Um, Hamia just shifted actually, so I don't know how she understands how to communicate, but we can. "Zale mumbled sadly. I whimpered, and then an idea hit me as I stared over the window and a small smile formed in my lips. I bolted out of the cabin as Zale yelled my name. I entered  into the woods and in a matter of minutes; I appeared at Sara's dome. I squeezed in and sniffed all the sharp smells that that remembered and looked for plants, flowers or herbs with the smells or closer.

I quickly scampered back and shuffled the objects on the floor as they sniffed it and Sara nodded and smiled."So I was right? She did smell the flower."Zale knelt down and ran his fingers through my fur as I barked happily."Good thinking, Hamia."Sara praised.

"The flower is rumoured to grow at the outskirts of Antarctica, the Amazon and in the southern of Germany."She explained.

"So whoever found the flower will awaken their powers if they have one and control wolf instincts too."I straed at her with pleading eyes, but alas, she read me like an open book."Well, as for shifting, I have idea but I do think it's your rank that forced you to change."She said.

A looming shadow leaned on the door frame and noticed it was Eli, still nude as Zale growled at him."I couldn't help but eavesdrop or interrupt you guys, but I think I know someone."Eli smiled.

"You did?"

He nodded.

Zale was worried about my vulnerability to attacks in my wolf form of me in my wolf form, since I couldn't shift back no matter how  much I tried. So instead of me sitting on the backseat, Zale made me chase their jeep the whole way, which was exhilarating. We zigzagged through the woods. I chased and barked at the car as I was attacked with sounds and smells and felt so carefree. Eli insulted me to try harder the entire time as we traveled down the dirt road. By the way, this time they were clothed.

As we entered the pack there were stares, whispers and wolves just there to gawk, and man, I felt uncomfortable the whole time. Alpha Ryan was just as shocked and confused as Eli, but more intrigued and smiling the whole time. We exchanged looks as Alpha Ryan alerted the healer to meet us and it was odd seeing him dress so casually. He wore a tee, khaki shorts and padded around with bare feet, but they weren't lying that this pack was big. It was ten times bigger than ours and was almost like a town. Pavements lined with flowers and streetlights, gardens and crossroads. Clinics and shops here and there, and Alpha Ryan lived in a log cabin home. Cottages there and there all around. But it was literally two am in the freaking morning. There was even a water fountain.

The woman was way younger than Sara; she was at least twenty-nine, but more of a gothic witch or an eccentric. Her cabin was designed in mats, crystals and symbols I hardly recognized. Dream catchers and rugs on the floor. Strong herbs and tables. The lady mused at me and congratulated me as she translated what I said. The brunette grabs a crystal from her altar table shaped like the moon.

She says it was the trigger. The thing we don't know was did I have a wolf in me or it was a new' gift, bright purple when I wore it. She says in the next full sentence I could shift back, but I hate it but she said I have to be one with my wolf , think about my human form or I'll never be able to see my legs again. I whimpered on the carpet and slept on the ground as we left if it wasn't from Eli it would've been bad.

So instead of being in the car, I ran with the wind as we approached the pack. So Zale decided that for me to be one with my wolf. I had to survive on my own in the woods for an entire week. I stayed at Eli's stream, and Zale observed me as I tried hard to be one with my wolf. Zale plays with me from time to time and before I knew it, more than a month had passed. Finally, it was time to shift back and connect with my wolf and Zale stays with me in the full moon. I was scared.

We stood in the field as the moon rose high and proud in the sky. Wolves poured in as they waited in anticipation, in fear and want as the clouds parted and the moon swelled."Please, Hamia.I want to see you again, so please try?"He begged.

As the clouds  parted, I quickly imagined myself in my human form, squeezing my eyes shut just waiting and praying for my body to shift or change. I felt nothing, no cracking or shifting; then the clouds swallowed the moon as I whimpered  loudly. I scampered into the pack house and rolled on the carpet as Zale rested on the bed and ruffled my fur. I rolled in my sleep and stared at the window, and I knew that  time had passed. My throat tightened then a cold glow emitted from my necklace even though I was really restless. Then I closed my eyes and hoped as I imagined myself in my legs. My bones snapped, popped and shifted then in reverse, I slowly rose up only to jump happily as I stated at my body. I padded to the mirror and smiled, not caring that I was nude and dirty.

Zale rolled off his bed and stared at me wide-eyed, and gaped at me as he buried his face in his hands."Heather, you're human again."Zale gasped. I bolted into the bathroom and showered, scrubbing myself raw. And enjoyed being immersed in the tub for a few minutes or hours. I left as Zale was wrapped in a blue comforter and reading a book. He buried his face in a blanket and I slipped into an oversized grey T-shirt and lay on the bed. He smiled and kissed my forehead." yes, I thought I would never see them again."

Greatest sleep ever.
