CHAPTER 3

ZEEB'S POV:

I had finally turned 18 and I met my wolf. I felt something pulling me to the forest as I went into the woods. I knew that it was time, I felt my wolf wanting to come out. My dad had taught me how to embrace it when it was time.

So I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to clear my mind. I focused on the wolf inside of me, willing it to come out.

At first, nothing happened. I felt foolish and embarrassed, thinking that maybe I had imagined it all. But then, I felt a tingling sensation in my limbs, and a warmth spreading through my body.

I opened my eyes and saw that my hands were starting to change, my fingers elongating into sharp claws. I felt a burning sensation in my back and I realized that my spine was elongating too.

I felt my body convulsing, shifting and changing. Because of the magic the Pack has, I was able to change without my clothes ripping apart. It doesn't mean my wolf will be wearing clothes, just that when I want to change back to my human form, I will be fully dressed.

So my muscles bulged and my bones restructured.In a matter of seconds, I had transformed into a wolf. I let out a joyful howl, testing out my new senses and abilities. I could smell the scent of the forest, feel the cool breeze on my fur, and hear the distant call of other wolves. I felt truly alive for the first time.

I let out another howl, and without hesitation, I ran out there through the woods, enjoying everything, my speed, how I dodged and all. After that I went to a river when I noticed that I didn't know what my wolf looked like. Still in wolf form, I looked into the river which served as a mirror.

I was a big black wolf, which should be because of my Alpha genes mostly, with strange patterns on his body. I couldn't understand what they were but I just shrugged it off.

When I was then I was then about to change back to my human form and head back home, cause the time for the party for my 18th birthday celebration was near.

I closed my eyes and focused, letting the wolf within me recede. I felt my bones shifting and reforming, my fur retracting back into my skin. The process was painful, but I was used to it by now or rather will get used to it as time goes on.

As I opened my eyes, I looked down at my human hands, flexing my fingers in wonder. I was back in my own skin, but the wolf within me still lingered, a constant reminder of my dual nature.

As I was about to move I stopped when I heard a voice, it spoke to me, cutting me off guard.

"Wouldn't you say hi to me". I heard as I turned around to see who the person that spoke to me,was , if anyone what's with me, I had no idea. Then someone chuckled, making me shout out "who is there?".

"My name is Alston and I am your wolf. I'm in your mind, speaking to you". I was dumbfounded and then regained myself as I apologized to my wolf and introduced myself, I loved the part that I could interact with my wolf Alston. It was something that can also happen, a werewolf being able to interact and have discussions with his wolf, pretty cool.

I headed back home and soon the party started and I kept moving around to see if maybe I will find my mate eventually. I searched for my mate but didn't find her, bit even a sniff of her scent. The day was almost over and still no sign of my mate, I was feeling angry and restless. Most of my age mates by now, must have found their mates and I still hasn't.

The party was thrown by my father on my 18th birthday today. My father is the Alpha of the Sky Pack and I Zeeb is the heir to the Sky Pack's throne. The Pack celebrated my birthday and very soon I will take over from my father. I never met my mother because she died some months after I was born. I had grown up with my father raising me and with help of my Nana
