Chapter 10 I am not weak anymore

"Shut up, Randy or you will get a slap, trust me." Flora's voice wigged.

"OK, OK, it is not my part."

"When is she gonna wake up?"

I interrupt them and they notice me stopping speaking.

"I think she's waking up"

"Be quite!"

I slowly opened my eyes, trying to blink to give them a signal that I have waken. There are still four people standing in front of me, Wayne, Flora, Dr Rita, and Randy as same.

Flora was leaning on Wayne whose arm wrapped around her shoulders pulling her to his side. Their eyes covered pity, and when they saw that I was wake up, breathed a sigh of relief. I turned my head gazing at the other man beside the doctor.

Randy is shorter than Wayne but still was tall. Not as muscly as Wayne but you could tell he worked out. I saw myself in his eyes knowing that he wanted to say something with me, because his eyes whispered.

"How are you feeling?" Flora asked, I ripped my gaze from Randy to her.

I was really moved because I haven't had someone care about me enough to worry about me since my father passed. These four people was concerned, I felt like they were my family. I didn't know how to express it, but it did warm me and comfort me.

"Not so good." My heart told me I should tell them my real feeling.

I was tried and numb. And my body was so heavy that I didn't want to get up.

"Am I really pregnant?" I couldn't believe it.

Rita nodded.

I was speechless.

"Can't believe it that this bastard rejected you after he slept with you." Flora was so furious.

I nodded, but how could I tell them that Sean didn't know it was me. He slept with me, but he was drunk. I had no idea he was intoxicated too. Both of us were fool.

"Fuck!" Randy muttered.

"Shadow is your new home from now. Sorry, what's your name?" Wayne asked

"Katherine, you can call me Katherine." I spoke softly.

"Katherine." He nods. " In Shadow, you can do everything you want. I will not ask you to join the pack but still this is your home until you want, forever."

I was so grateful for what he said but before I could open my mouth Randy spoke up.

"Weren't your eyes brown?"

"Yeah, my eyes are brown. What's up?" I spoke up.

"No, they aren't." Randy says.

"OMG! Her eyes were brown! How could!" Flora screamed.

They were all staring at me making me feel really awkward and uncomfortable.

"You mean... "

"Amazing! How did you do it? Your eyes turned into blue. It's sooo...Jesus." Randy says almost to himself.

Flora agreed with him.

Only Dr Rita and Wayne were just silently staring at me, they seemed like getting ready for something.

I started feeling really hot which was bearable at first but getting hotter and hotter. I guessed that I was burning in flame.

They all moved back. Wayne pushed Flora behind me. I noticed that my hands and veins were dark, and my skin color was wired.

"What's happening!"

All I can feel is pain. Something cracking in my bone and its sound made me feel uneasy. I didn't know what it was. I'm afraid of these horrible pains.

I was so pain that I cried. Heaven knows how much it hurt me. I was a good person. Couldn't you see you've punished me? Why have I had to suffer all the adversity? I felt like it was going on for hours. The sweat dripping down my face.

It wasn't until I started shaking violently that Randy and Wayne grabbed each of my side and pinned me down.

"What the hell is this?" I heard Randy shout.

"She's shifting." Someone replied again.

At that moment I think that all the pains are worthy because I'm finally shifting. Even if I would do anything to stop this. I know that when I become a brand new me, everything will change.

"I know! But why is it causing her so much pain. In common, the process of shifting is short. Katherine, are you OK?" Randy shout at me.

I wanted to give him some reactions but there were no words coming out.

"It's her first shift." Dr Rita spoke.

"Wait? She said she found her mate. She has to be at least 18."

"A late shifter, I assume. It's rare."

"My child! Please please make sure my baby is safe!" I begged through my cries.

"I promise you they will be alright, darling! Breathe. Relax!" Dr Rita says.

Slowly, the pain was easing. I slowly got up. All four were staring at me or my white paws, precisely.

"Wow!" They all said at the same time.

That was the last thing I heard before falling into darkness.

"Not being rude or anything!"

"Wish her could wake up early."

"Shut up, Randy!"

I opened my eyes slowly hearing the voices in the room.

"Oh, she's awake!" Flora says with an excitement.

"Calm down dear. She just woke up."

"I am okay." I say well tried to say but my throat was dry.

Randy must have read my mind because he handed me a glass of water. I gave him a small smile and mouthed thank you. Randy knew that I just woke up, so he just nodded without spoke to me.

"Okay let us scream it!" Flora says overly excited.

"You're an ACE wolf!" She claps her hands.

"Honey, can you believe that there is an Ace wolf in our pack. The legendary wolf that I thought was alive in a myth all this time! Do you believe it! Katherine is one and is sitting right in front of us. An Ace wolf! ".

"Ace wolf?" I asked confused because I never heard about this legendary wolf.

"Yes, the strongest wolf! You are so AMAZING!" Flora says almost jumping with excitement.

"Calm down babe. I know you are excited." Wayne says not trying to hide his amusement.

I finally shifted? And I am an Ace wolf?

-that's right baby-

A voice says startling me. I looked at everyone in the room to see if anyone spoke, but no one did.

-I'm your wolf Morgan, Katherine. So good to finally meet you. -

"She must be so tired and confused." Randy turns to the couple and says, " Your wolf is so beautiful. It is White and snow which is rare in wolf. So stunning."

"I think it's time for your nap now." Wayne says to his wife.

"You must be so tired. Just take a rest and we will come back later to check on you." Flora says.

I finally shifted and I couldn't wait to go and tell Hebe about this good news, but I knew I couldn't. The reality drags me back, and I didn't know that whether I was about to be found if I call her, my brother was going to drag me back.

I am not weak anymore. I am not being bullied by the pack members anymore. I should be treated equally, look what I suffered, my brother hating me when all I am doing is protecting him, my mate who rejected me after sleeping with me. These are not what I deserve.

I touched my wolf Yuki and found comfort. I am not alone because she will be by my side from now. And my baby, it will keep me company and I won't feel alone anymore. I know I should curse him for the longest time. For rejecting me. For making me truly feel worthless but just let it go, what is past is past. At least, he gave me something which makes me hopeful for the future.

I decide that I will never come back to the pack that hurt me so much, I will stay in Shadow pack and raise my child. If she or he wants, I am going to find a good place for us to live, to enjoy life.

We will be fine, and my child is never going to know who is her or his father. As I still don't know how to face the male who rejected me, even if I know I should tell Sean about it. Maybe I should find a good human to settle down with, but it is ok for me to live on my own. I am strong enough and powerful enough to protect myself and bring down anyone who tries to hurt me or someone I care about.

I know that I've found myself.
