Oh my god, i think to myself, more like screamed in my head, i can't do this. I am not Elena, i can't do Stefan look at me, you can fight this, this is not you I am definitely not in a movie and quite sure I won't be coming back to life from the other side if I die.
So i do the one thing i can think of, since my life technically depends on this, i close my eyes and i say the words accepting my fate if need be. “i love you zade, I think I always have, you are my best friend and just in case i forgive you”
And just like magic, like in all those stories you read, he pauses, staring me straight through the eyes of a wolf that suddenly seems to have a corky smile in them, then with the speed of light he zooms off through the window and into the night.
I sit there on the floor surrounded by broken glass, my heart beating out of my chest, then I start taking in air one breath at a time. I knew Zade was a wolf, we all are, I just did not know that he would finally wolf out this full moon, most of us including me have been having a hard time connecting with our wolf and going out on runs with the pack. So yea it came as a surprise when i am having a conversation with my friend and he suddenly changes form. I must admit the conversation probably triggered it. Why was I even talking about Cal when I clearly know Zade has feelings for me, I think and face palm.
The next day, when the rest of us who have yet to connect with our wolf side in the pack where all in the field to receive our daily training the alpha believes will push out our wolf, I hear footsteps coming behind me and when I turn its zade. He takes my hand and pulls me away from the crowd to the other end of the field, staring me dead in the eyes he says “So i have to turn into my wolf, lose control and almost kill you to get you to profess your undying love to me” I roll my eyes and say “
I did not profess my undying love, I just said "I love you, c’mon it's not the same”. “Alright love”, he says “You're definitely in denial, good for me, Iam a patient man”.
I just shake my head when he tells me that the rest of us have been assigned trainers individually, apparently the alpha wanted us all to run together the next full moon.
Zade suddenly went instructor mode on me, we had to run at least 800 km twice and do some plank exercises in between to help me with stamina. We continue like this for about three weeks and another full moon will be upon us in the next 2days.
Zade keeps telling me he believes in me and I should try really hard to connect with my wolf, like I haven't been trying. This is getting all too annoying. I wash up after the day's training and go to bed while saying to my wolf out loud “Show up she wolf i want to feel the wind while i race and the ability of my wolf”.
The entire pack is outside waiting for the moon to get to its apex, so we can all shift and run. I glance at Zade and he's already staring at me, I give him a smile and say she would show, I feel her.
Members of the pack start shifting and when I look at Zade again he's grinning, my eyes have already begun changing color and my bone cracking, under seconds I shift and I feel the lightness i. My soul starts feeling a strong pull towards zade and his wolf walks around me in a marking cycle, we rub fur together and I feel total completeness, we let out a howl and then take off.
As I raced with my mate and the wind I let out another howl of joy, how did I find my heart and soul in one night.
