The White Wolf Chronicles: Shifted: A Wattpad Original

by Tori Leigh Vella

  After a few minutes, Sam was back and we were driving home. The whole ride was silent. I was tired and my mind was trying to process the day’s events. As soon as the truck stopped, I hoped out.

  'Thanks for the ride' I said through the mind link. I couldn't be bothered to talk.

  'No problem' he replied out loud, which I found highly annoying. I mean that was what the mind link was for Jesus.

  “Hey Kaylie, you know that you can talk to me even though you have more power and all” he grinned.

  “Yeah I know, thanks for the offer but you know I’m not one to talk” I replied as I turned my back on him and began the walk towards hell.

  “The offer still stands,” he said to my retreating back.

  I scurried off to my room and climbed the stairs of the Alpha pack house more commonly known as my house. I flunked myself on my bed.

  Damn being a teenage werewolf. I had too much shit to deal with. Why did everything have to become so much more difficult?

  On top of all the stress, I had to figure out how to tell my father I was a wolf; a white wolf to be exact.

  Chapter 4

  I was so screwed. I was in my room waiting for Imogen to come in.

  I was stressing out badly. If anyone knew what I was, I would be killed and hunted.

  I had the whole trip here to pounder on that small bit of crucial information.

  I heard a knock and turned to see both Sam, my father, my two brothers and Imogen.

  'Sweetheart are you alright?' my father asked.

  'Dad, I need to tell you something' I said. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath as I felt the familiar burn and heat spread across my body. I looked down and saw that my two legs had been replaced by four. I heard a gasp and looked into my father's eyes.

  I shifted back and waited for him to say something.

  'I always knew you were special' he smiled brushing the hair off my face.

  'What do you mean dad?'

  'The white wolf gene is among the family, but it has mostly died out. You, my child, were special from the day you were born. You exceed at everything you did and always competed with your brothers and succeeded, I should have seen it earlier'. He glanced at Daniel, to which he nodded. They were talking through the mind link and obviously did not want me to hear.

  'Please do not increase security on me, Dad, everyone thinks I am abnormal enough already'.

  ‘you need to be protected Kaylie, I cannot let anything happen to you, do you understand?'

  'Yes' I breathed.

  I wanted to leave the pack enough as it is and now I would be forced to stay. I would never fit in.

  'I'm going to arrange for the neighbouring packs to come see you; we shall all discuss the situation. You could be our salvation Kaylie, we can all finally be safe'.

  'Dad what are you talking about?' I asked confused.

  He kissed my head and stood up.

  'You'll understand at the pack meeting tonight sweetie, this is something far bigger than just our pack. I think we just found our answer'

  I watched him walk out of the room even more confused then I was after my first shift.

  Why did everything have to be so damn confusing!

  Chapter 5

  'Pack meeting in 5' yelled my brother through the mind link.

  God he was loud sometimes.

  I jogged downstairs and walked to the pack's community hall we used for pack meetings. I slipped up the front quietly, trying to go unnoticed. Dad's words were playing repeatedly in my head.

  I think we found our answer.

  What does that even bloody mean for god’s sake?

  ‘Pack meeting is now commencing' my father said as he sat next to my mother on the stage.

  'I have called this meeting today to inform you of some information that has been discovered. As you all may know my youngest has finally shifted. You may also know that my ancestors were white wolves and part of one of the strongest packs in the country. Kaylie has received the white wolf gene and could be our answer to finally wiping out the hunters. I have called our neighbouring packs for help and guidance. I declare war so that our people and the future generations of our people are safe'.

  Did I just really hear that?

  Why did we even have this gene? The one question everyone had left unanswered was where did the gene even come from? I had never heard of it before.

  'You can't be serious Ren, you are not putting our daughter at risk' my mother growled.

  'Dad are you crazy' yelled my brothers.

  'She could save us, I would never let anything happen to her, and you must understand that'.

  'You are risking my seventeen year old daughter's life, she has had no experience in war, and she has barely lived' my mother said again trying to make him see sense.

  Other members of the pack were also voicing their opinions.

  ‘You can’t let Kaylie risk her life for you’.

  ‘She is only a child’.

  ‘She could save us all’.

  “The hunter might never bother us again”.

  ‘The hunters have never threatened us in our lifetimes, why start a war that we may not be prepared for?’

  All these voices were overwhelming and I tried to drown them out and focused on my breathing

  Of course, my father would not listen.

  'She will be trained and taught to use her abilities, she will be safe'.

  I couldn't believe him.

  'Well Dad, you have clearly made up your mind, doesn't concern me or anything right? My feelings don't matter, and I obviously don't have an opinion. What if I don't want to fight, Fuck the hunters, they have never harmed me, they leave us alone. You want revenge for what they did to your family. I don't want to be involved in a war. I want to worry about my life and my future, which is now in jeopardy because of you, the one person who is supposed to be more important that the stupid pack. I hate being a werewolf, you all can get fucked, you treated me like shit all these years like I had the plague and now you want me to be your salvation? You can fucking safe yourselves but I will have no part in it, I am not some secret weapon'.

  I was so angry I could literally feel my blood burning.

  'FUCK' I screamed.

  I felt the familiar burn and shifted, running through the woods without a second glance.

  'Calm down young one' my wolf whispered.

  'I don't know what to do, why should I sacrifice so much for them, they treat me like I don't even exist'

  'You will be fine young one, listen to what the other alphas want, then make your decision, you only can do this for you'

  'Then I’ll be selfish like my father'.

  I ran back and changed. I entered the hall and saw my pack glancing at me frightened.

  'I'll do it'.

  Those three little words were going to change my life.

  'Good' my father said

  'Yes Ren, good, I will not be selfish like you, once this war is over I am leaving, I do not wish to be a part of this pack'

  'You would disgrace this family?' my father boomed, outraged

  'Your daughter does not matter to you if you're willing to risk her life. I see no future here. I have no mate. I am free to do what I want, not so special to you now huh daddy' I said as I left and ran to the woods for closure.

  I would win this war and then I would leave, start a new life were I was appreciated for once.

  I hate wolves, fucking arrogant bastards.

  Chapter 6

  I went to school the next day like nothing had happened.

  I hadn't spoke to anyone since the night before.

  I was still raging about what they had said. How dare they.

  The other two surrounding packs were coming today. Something I was not thrilled about at all. It only meant they were more of a danger to me and that they supported my father’s stupid decision.

  I had noticed a few kids that I had never seen before. A few of the boys were very good looking, b
ut I couldn't let myself get distracted. I had to prove my father wrong.

  I noticed one boy from the corner of my eye. He was definitely worth looking at. Something in me was reacting to him though and I did not like that. I would definitely be keeping my distance from him.

  A scent suddenly caught my attention. It was the sweetest smelling thing I had ever smelt in my whole life.

  It was the best smell I had ever smelt in my whole existence, it was making me drool. I felt like I was about to drool and quickly shut my mouth. Now was not the time to let go and act like a wolf.

  I quickly made my way to my first class and hoped that the day would go fast. I was still yet to see a point to earning an education if I was going to be a wolf for the rest of my life, well at least part wolf.

  Thankfully, my classes had passed in a blur. I couldn't wait to get home and get to the pack meeting. I had a few things I needed to get off my chest and this time I would not hold back. The sooner this was over the better, in my opinion.

  I made my way to Imogen’s car but thought better of it and decided to walk home. It was also an awesome way to piss off my father and get some people in trouble for not “protecting and watching me”. In my opinion, stalking was a better term or lack of privacy.

  I took my time coming home before getting changed into my gym outfit, shorts and a sports bra. I headed to field that we used for training purposes and started to warm up before running a few circuits, followed by a couple laps of the field before heading to the hall for the pack meeting. As I entered, I felt something spark through me. It was more powerful than before. I had never felt this before. My Alpha Blood must be reacting, and that mouth-watering smell was back.

  'Please take your seats' boomed my father's voice, as everyone began to sit, snapping me out of my thoughts. At the front of the hall I saw my brother's, my dad, mum and the two alphas of the other packs all on the stage.

  'We are here to discuss what is to be done about the hunter situation. My proposal is that we send my daughter in with a few members of our army. She will reveal her abilities, distracting the hunters while the army can fight and take them by surprise'.

  'You are willing to risk your daughter if anything goes wrong?' an alpha asked by the name of Rick.

  ‘My daughter is no ordinary young wolf; she is a powerful white wolf from a long line of strong Alpha’s. I will protect my pack at all costs' was my father's reply.

  He had no remorse. He wasn’t even guilty at what he was proposing.

  'I will do it on one condition' I said, surprising myself due to the boiling anger I felt waiting to escape.

  'And what is that young one'

  'I request that if I do this and take down some hunters I will be allowed to leave this pack and start or find my own'

  'We will allow your request young one, I sense power in you'.

  ‘I am a white wolf and Alpha’s daughter unfortunately’ came my reply. I was blunt and straight to the point.

  'Your training will begin tomorrow; you will practice in the morning and in the afternoon. The hunt will take place in a month’s time once you have finished school'.

  I nodded. I would be done with school and pack life for once and for all next month. Then everything would be about Kaylie and I would never be placed in dangerous situations I had no control over.

  'Tyler will train you' he said indicating to the very good-looking boy, I had seen around school.

  Our eyes locked. His green and mine blue. I knew he was mine, my mate. He was perfect. He was well toned and impressively dressed in black skinny jeans and a loose blue shirt. His brown hair was ruffled, and his chiseled jaw had me weak at the knees. He was perfection. He smiled a cocky smile before walking past me, obviously checking me out. I sniffed and smelled that amazing smell, realising that it was his scent.

  'Hey mate' he said winking.

  'Looks like this will be fun' I said smirking.

  ‘God you smell god’ I said moving closer to him.

  Things were defiantly going to get interesting around here.

  Chapter 7

  'Ready to train sugar?' Tyler asked winking at me.

  It amazes me how I get roped into things and how my ‘mate’ ends up being the personal trainer from hell.

  'Sure thing buttercup' if he wanted to get cocky then I sure as hell would give it back.

  Remember expert at sarcasm.

  As soon as we had discovered that we were mates we were told we had to get stuck into training. My mind hadn’t even come to terms with the fact that I was supposed to be in love with this guy, who I had never met, because why wolf genes told me too?

  I mean sure the guy was hot, but I knew him about as well as I knew the bar of soap in my shower.

  ‘I would love to be that soap’ he said standing in front of me with inhuman speed.

  ‘One that is not normal, and I need to get used to the idea of having you around, two don’t listen to my thoughts and three don’t you dare think about me naked or in a shower’.

  He just smirked at me. I could tell that would either piss me off or make me weak at the knees. For my sake, I was hoping it was going to piss me off.

  ‘Well you need to learn to stay focused. We can get to know each other after the session so first I want to test out your speed' he said lining up tape to mark out where I would sprint.

  'Go!' he said with absolutely no warning but I still managed to take off.

  I sprinted fast as I could towards the end of the tape. He stopped the stop watch and glanced at me.

  'How'd I do?' I asked panting.

  'You could be so much faster' he said.

  'Right' I had always been fast and everyone knew that. I would have to show Tyler just was he was dealing with.

  'You think just because you have added abilities you can slacken off, hell no you'll work harder, you’ll be faster, besides I want my mate looking super hot, I can’t have an average girl by my side'.

  'You really are full of it aren't you' I said walking off making sure I wiggled my hips trying to drive him mad with desire. He clearly did not know me well

  'I will get to know you and prove to me then just how ‘fast’ you are then’.

  ‘Fine I'll race you’ I said. I was always up for a challenge.

  'Bring it'.

  A small crowd had gathered by now, among them my cousin, Daniel, Sam and of course Nate. I had to win this war. I would not be proving myself right, but I would be showing my father how much I thought he sucked.

  Who in the world would risk their own daughter’s life? All I wanted was my freedom, something I had been deprived of. I walked down to the end of the tape and set myself up. I was going to win this. I let myself go and give in to my inner wolf. I would be fierce. I could do this.

  ‘Forget your father, just breathe and relax’ came Tyler’s voice in my head so only I could hear.

  'On your marks, get set, GO!' came someone from the crowd.

  I let go and just ran, forgetting everything that was plaguing me.

  'Tie' I heard someone yell.

  'Looks like we are even baby doll' he said slapping me on my ass.

  I walked up to him with a plan in my head. Once I was standing in front of him a good distance away I spoke.

  'Since we're mates and all I think we should get to know each other better babe, being lifelong partners' I winked.

  'Yeah I like that idea only I have more I mind then just talking sweetie'.

  I walked close to him so that our faces were less than a centimeter apart and our noses were almost touching, I leaned in slightly before backing off and grabbing his hand. I led him to the forest and took him to the lake that we used as a swim hole.

  I began to take my clothes off until I was left in my panties and a sports bra before proceeding to dive in. The water felt cool on my skin and I forgot my worries for a second. I felt Tyler join me before noticing his body in the water. I came up for air and felt his hands on my waist.

  'So
what did you have in mind' he whispered in my ear, making my skin tingle from his touch.

  ‘How about a little game of twenty questions?’ I said.

  ‘I was expecting something more bad ass but alright’.

  And that was how the game began.

  Chapter 8

  ‘Ok first question, favourite colour?’ he asked

  ‘Too easy, blue’ I said smiling at him.

  ‘Mine too’

  ‘Um, which side of the bed do you sleep on?’ I said grinning like a chestier cat.

  ‘Right’

  ‘Good I sleep left; we won’t have any future problems then’

  ‘I sure hope not, favourite food?’

  ‘Lasagna for sure’ I answered.

  ‘A harder question then. What are you planning to do after we fight the hunters?’

  ‘Honestly? I want my freedom. I want to be around people who actually care about me. Here, I have always been invisible to everyone. Only my older brother gives a shit. I want to be able to do what I want and not be hated by everyone. I want to feel like I belong and not get looked at like I’m a freak of nature being a white wolf and all’.

  Tyler glanced at me, before taking a breath and sighing.

  ‘Join my pack then, I’ll be Alpha in a few years and you’ll be my Luna, you’ll stand by my side. I will protect you, be your lover, your best friend, whatever you want me to be. I want you to be happy and I’ll do anything to make that happen, you are my mate Kaylie’.

  I smiled at him. I knew he was being serious and a part of me wanted that more than anything. I wanted to be loved like those girls in the movies. I thought I deserved my happy ending. I just did not want to have to deal with all the bullshit that came from being involved in my father’s pack.
