New Life by Cookie Chihuahua (ebook reader for pc .TXT) 📕

'Now I must warn you, she is ver self consious when it come to her back, so don't pressure her.' My mother explained softly.

'What do you mean?' I asked confused. How could someone be self consious of their back?

'When she was younger, she was attacked by a wolf,' I stiffened 'She has scarring all across the top of her back.'

Lana was the type of person who didn't want money spent on her. I walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. She jumped and turned. I had wanted her eyes since I first saw them, they made her stand out, but just looking at her, you could tell she hated them; She didn't want to stand out, she wanted to hide.

'Stop looking at the things that cover your back, I know you don't want anyone seeing it but you shouldn't hide. Show people who you really are. If they don't want to know you, because of the way you look, then they don't deserve to know you at all. Not everyone is going to run from you. Shane knows and he's still following you around like a love sick puppy!' I joked, trying to make her smile. It worked. She laughed and nodded

'You're right.'

'I know.' I smiled

Lana's P.O.V

We got home late that night, around 10pm. I was tired and made a mental note to never go shopping with Ava again. We had just entered the house when someone came crashing into me, engulfing me in a hug. Shane. I hugged him back hesitantly not really knowing what to do. He had his head buried in the crook of my neck and I could hear him inhaling deeply. Was he.... sniffing me? I heard Ava burst into laughter behind me. Shane pulled away, glaring at his sister.

'Shut up, I didn't know where she was!' He growled.

'Never thought I'd see the day when you got so worked up over a girl.' Ava chortled from the floor.

'You where gone for almost 10 hours without contact, anything could have happened!'

'I'm old enough to look after her.' Ava shot back defensivly 'I can protect her just as well as you could!'

'I'm older though.' Shane pointed out.

'By 3 minutes!' Ava's voice was rising in octaves. I decided now was the time to stop them.

'Hey.' I stepped infront of Shane. He looked down at me. 'We're fine, now, come on, I'm tired; remind me never to go shopping with those two again.' He took a deep breath before relaxing and nodding his head. He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards our bedroom.

'Your clothes are already in the wardrobe.' Shane told me, as he headed towards the bathroom. I nodded as I walked into the wardrobe. My side actually looked full now. Rows of clothes neatly folded up on shelves or hung up. I headed towards the drawer that someone had helpfully labelled 'pj's' and slipped on zebra print sleeping pants and a black vest top. There was no point hiding the scars from Shane now. I padded out of the closet to see Shane already in bed. Something in my head growled as I looked over his well defined chest and abs. I shook the thought out of my head and hopped into bed. I stayed at the far side of the bed and attempted to fall asleep.

Move closer!   I jumped at the angry voice in my head. That definatly wasn't my voice. Move closer to my mate... NOW!  The voice roared. I squeaked. Shane was looking at me confused. The voice in my head wouldn't stop growling and it was beginning to hurt my head. I whipered.

'Lana, what's wrong?' Shane was looking worried now.

'Just make it stop.' I knew I sounded crazy, but I didn't care, I'd rather be thought crazy.

'Lana, you're not making any sense, make what stop?'

'The voice!' I almost screamed at him. He looked like he understood, then he look horrified.

'Shit' he whispered. 'Lana, what is she saying?'

'It keeps repeating the word 'mate', just make it stop.' Shane shifted closer to me and pulled me into his arms. The voice stopped almost immediatly, purring. I relaxed with a sigh.

That was when the pain started.

I was going to put the other chapter up aswell tonight, but my leg has gone numb from sitting here, and I honestly hate typing the story up, seeing as I write the chapters by hand and then upload them when I haven't got anything else to do. Dont get me wrong, I love writing stories and I love hearing what you think about them (so please comment your thoughts ;P) but I just hate typing, but I PROMISE the next chapter will be up tomorrow. Dont forget to leave a heart <3

Shane's POV

She had found her wolf. She had found her wolf... That's all I could think after she told me to make the voice stop. It was to be expected; A female wolf would be able to contact her wolf after meeting her mate. What I didn't expect was for her to begin changing in front of me. It began with her finger. One long, slender finger, snapping. Her scream pierced the air. My wolf was whimpering in the back of my mind. My wolf, who had never showed any weakness, was whipering. I scooped her up, feeling the mating sparks where my bare skin met hers, and ran out of the room, yelling for my father.

I burst into the back garden where we had both been playing hide and seek earlier with Ruby, and set her down. She withered around on the soft grass as I heard the rest of her fingers snap. My father bolted out of the back door, obviously hearing the panic in my voice. He froze when he saw Lana on the floor.

'Already?' He asked crouching down next to her. I nodded, raking my fingers through my hair. I felt a comforting hand on my shoulder and turned to face my sister Ava. She had found her mate only a couple of months ago.

'She's going to be alright Shane, I was remember?'

'Your shift was easier than most though.' I reminded her stiffly.

'You don't know, she could be a white wolf aswell.'

'You know how unlikely that is.'

Ava was a white wolf, meaning she healed faster than most, when in human form. You see there are three different types of wolf.

The white wolf, which healed faster when in human form,

The black wolf, which was basically the same as a white wolf except we heal faster in wolf form - This is what I am,

Then there is the brown and gray wolves which healed only slightly faster than humans. It was possible to get a mix of colours in your coat, and this determined how powerful your wolf was. It was quite rare to be a black or a white wolf as there where only around 20 of them in each pack of about 500.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when Lana screamed again. I whipped around to see her arms and legs snapping and rearranging . I frowned. She only had her spine left and she had only been shifting for 15 minutes. She was shifting faster than Ava, who only took half and hour to shift. I crouched down next to her and placed my hand on her forehead. She seemed to relax slightly under my touch.

Then her spine went.

He scream was louder than it had ever been. She hunched forward as her broken bones rearranged themselves. I squeezed my eyes shut, not enjoying seeing her in pain. I heard a collection of gasps from my family behind me. Hesitantly, I pried my eyes open to see her. I expected to see a brown or grey wolf. What I didn't expect to see was a black and white wolf. It was rare to get a black or a white wolf, but to get a mix of black and white was so rare, it was almost impossible to find; There was only around ten or so in the world.

I realized then that I was just sitting there staring at her. She was staring right back, looking confised. Then it hit me. She didn't know how to change back. Chuckling quietly to myself, I shifted, not caring about the sleeping pants I had on.

Need help? I spoke to her in her mind. She obviously wasn't expecting this, as she jumped about a foot in the air, falling over her paws in the process. My family burst out laughing, and if I was human, I would have done the same.

Just think about what you want to say and who to, I'll be able to hear you.  I explained to her.

How do I change back? She asked hesitantly, obviously still embarassed about falling. My family where still laughing.

Just think about being human. Think about all your human parts. What makes you human.

Shortly after explaining this to her, she was curled up in a ball on the grass. I shifted back and made my way over to her. She glanced up at me and her eyes widened as she flushed beet red. Then looking down at herself she sqeaked, covering herself more. I chuckled and wandered to the shed in the garden, grabbing one of my shirts and a pair of shorts. Pulling the shorts on, I walked out and held the shirt out to Lana. She narrowed her eyes at me before grabbing the shirt and tugging it on. Not before I got a good look. I looked away, suddenly aware of my parents and sister standing a couple of feet away.

'Are you alright?' I asked her.

'Well, considering I just turned into a freaking wolf in the middle of the night, yeah I'm fine.' She replied sarcastically. I rolled my eyes at her, before turning back to my family, who, after recovering from their laughing fit, had only burst out laughing at Lana's face when she realized I was naked.

'Are you done now?' I asked my parent. They nodded, biting down on their lips to stop themselves from laughing again. I looked over at Ava who was lying on the floor with tears rolling down her face. I shook my head and turned back to Lana.

'Come on, you need sleep.' She nodded and tried to stand up, before falling back over, as her legs went under her. This set Ava off again. Sighing I bent down and lifted Lana up, before heading towards the house.

'Let us sleep in tomorrow.' I told my mother before climbing the stairs to our bedroom.

Opening the bedroom foor, I gently placed Lana down on the bed, before grabbing another pair of sleeping pants and tugging them on. I slipped into bed next to an already sleeping Lana. I lay there trying to sleep. Just as I felt sleep taking me, I felt Lana shift closer, snuggling into my chest. I lay there for a few minutes before wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her closer. With my head buried in her neck, I fell into a deep slumber.
