Ten
~Isabelle~
I admired my pretty reflection in the mirror, Carly spent hours in getting me ready especially my make up, I straightened my hair to give it a bone straight look, my dress was the absolute definition of sexy.
The red bodycon sequin dress with tiny straps brought out my shape, I smiled to myself, it was indeed the best birthday ever…
"You look gorgeous." Carly complimented with a smile.
"Thank you."
I grabbed my purse and we went downstairs to wait for him, it was already 8PM, it was on probability that I might come home, I might sleep over at his place, that's if Kaylee doesn't try to kill me over night.
I sat down to wait for him as we got downstairs, I took some selfies and made snap chat videos with the inscription, my first date.
After waiting for up to thirty minutes which felt like forever, I decided to check up on him to make sure that he was okay or at least on his way.
"He isn't picking up." I cried.
"Calm down, it's probably service or he's close by and there's no reason to answer." Carly told me but that wasn't enough.
I started sweating a little, the sequin dress started making me feel uncomfortable, I didn't want to be ditched again.
Please, not on my birthday.
"Hey! Do not ruin my masterpiece with your tears." Carly warned but I ignored her and kept calling him.
"Do you think he ditched me? Maybe, it'd possible that Kaylee has tied him down or given him sleeping pills or worst, they are having sex." I panicked.
"Calm down, you obviously overthinking this, he's on probably on his way, relax,"
"Breathe in, breathe out." She instructed and I obeyed.
Just then, the door swung open after I have managed to stay calm for a minute, his entrance brought a huge smile to my face.
There he was in a blue podka dot long sleeve shirt and black trousers, I unconsciously bit my lips when my eyes noticed that his first two buttoned were loose, I couldn't help myself.
"Have you been crying?" He squinted his eyes as he walked towards me.
"No." I lied.
"Yes, she has because you almost gave her a panic attack." Carly hit him lightly.
"Oww, your body is hard like a rock." She remarked as she winced in pain.
How's that possible? She hitted him softly.
"I'm really sorry babe, I had some unfinished business to attend to, I'm sorry that I made you overthink the whole situation." He stated.
He called me babe….
He called me babe!!!!
What kind of unfinished business?!
Hope it didn't involve fucking Kaylee honey pot.
He retreated his steps and his eyes slowly went from my head to my toe, instantly making me blush.
"Wow, I was so concerned about why your eyes were teary, that I didn't have the chance to notice your outfit,"
"You look so pretty in red." He complimented and his words made my cheeks hurt even more.
I could imagine the blush that Carly applied on my face combined with my natural blush, my cheeks are definitely red like tomato for their view.
He offered me his hand to hold, "Shall we?"
"We shall." I giggled.
The moment our hands touched, my heart started racing fast, I knew he was the one, it isn't infatuation… definitely not.
I cared so much about him…
"Hey, if you make it to going to his house phase, please record Kaylee's reaction, 8 would like to watch it." She smirked.
"You are such a trouble maker." I rolled my eyes at her.
"No, I'm not, I just love drama…." She dragged the last word of her sentence.
"I will try." I told her and left with him.
His car was parked outside, well, in as much as I loved the feeling of my arms wrapped around his torso and his scent all over my nose, I also liked the comfort of being in an enclosed space with just him.
I'm not crazy.
He was gentle man enough to make the car door for me, "Well, Thank you." I smiled at him as I hoped in.
"So, where are we going?." I threw the question at him as soon he got in.
"I can't tell you, you will see." He replied as he ignited the engine.
"Come on, I know you are good at surprises but not this time, please tell me." I begged with puppy dog eyes.
"Don't try to use those cute sexy ocean eyes of yours against me, it won't work."
"Pretty please."
He sighed, "Okay fine, we are going to the woods."
"The woods? Are you planning on murdering me and using me for sacrifice?"
He laughed, "No, I'm not,"
"Besides, if there's anybody I would want to use as sacrifice, that would be Kaylee." He confessed.
Despise is in air.
"You certainly do not like her."
"Nope, I don't, she's like a bone in my throat that I can't get out, I just have to endure the pain." He let out with hatred laced in his voice.
"You guys aren't dating anymore, the bone must be out by now." I shrugged.
"We aren't but it's complicated, she's just this crazy ex of mine,"
"That lives in your house." I completed his statement, sadly.
"She won't be there for long, I'm just waiting for the right opportunity to kick her out, "
"And I have a feeling that the opportunity is almost close." He said as drove into the woods.
"Okay, so we are seriously going to the woods,"
"At night." I completed my statement.
"Permission to call 911?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"I'm not going to murder you, I have a cabin in the woods, that's the setting for our date, far away from disturbance,"
"And close to the supernatural." I added slowly like as if I had found the truth about something.
"Wow, you sure read alot of paranormal fiction and anyways, supernatural beings do not exist." He stated.
"Well, I wish they did, it would be fun to meet fairies, have an adventure with a mermaid or have a hot vampire or werewolf as my boyfriend,"
"Well, too bad they don't because you are stuck with this human and I hope that I am enough." He flashed me his charming smile.
"Of course, you are, more than enough but if werewolf existed, you would be my Alpha." I flirted with him.
He smiled and then, licked his lips, making his red lips very vivid and sumptuous for me to lock mine with… a smirk slowly crept on his face.
He parked in front of a black beautiful A framed cabin, the beautiful decor was visible for me to see, I could see the lights from out here.
"You did this all by yourself?" I questioned because I knew Kaylee or Aiden would have agreed to decorate the place.
"Yup."
That explains why he took time, he had to decorate this place all by himself and he's a guy!
Then after that, go home to dress up.
Wow.
"It's so beautiful." I confessed.
"So, is the moon and you." His compliment made me blush and also drew my attention to look at the beautiful bright moon.
It was full moon.
"Wanna come outside to watch the moon later?" He asked.
"Yes, it's such a beautiful sight to not resist." I confessed.
"I would love to watch the moon with you."
"Let's go in, mi lady or should I say my Luna." He offered me his hand and I took it.
The exterior decor was beautiful but the interior was mind blowing, it screamed everything called luxurious and comfortable.
The location of the cabin was even much more satisfying, away from civilization, just you and your partner.
It was as if this is my honeymoon ever though, I wasn't married yet.
"You wanna move in here with me?" His question baffled me.
"What?" I asked again to be sure.
"No Kaylee, just our mini home." He squeezed my hand softly.
"Yes."
"Yes?."
"Yes!!"
"We could stay here till graduation, Mrs. Stanley could come visit because I know she will be definitely cool with the whole moving out besides I'm an adult now." I stated.
"Yes, you are." He pulled me into a hug and pecked my forehead.
His kiss was enough to cure a migraine.
Okay, that's a lie…
More like an exaggeration.
The room was lit up with only red Led light, a bottle of champagne and two glasses were set on the table with food.
As far as I'm concerned, I was more interested in sipping wine and staring at his handsome face all night, his eyes illuminated because of the light, making me want him more than anything.
"So, how shy are you feeling?." He started the conversation with a weird question for a start.
I guess I wasn't the only one who was enveloped by nervousness.
Well, you can't blame him, he has been in a toxic relationship before, he isn't used to the word love… if that's we have.
"Let just say I'm not used to be treated right and this is my first date." I said and he mouthed an oh.
"What about you?"
"The last time I went on a date, it was with Kaylee, it wasn't really a date, I was forced by my dad in the name of get to know her." He explained.
So, right from the beginning, things between him and Kaylee has always been forced.
I forced out a smile before sipping my wine.
"This is too fancy though, let's wild out." I suggested.
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why? Come on, it's my special day, remember?" I pouted.
*Okay, fine. "
I took off my heels and stood up, I walked to his side of the table and pulled him up.
The intensity of the closeness was something else, it made me wet and hot down there.
I bit my lips as I rested my head on his chest, his scent… I wished I could be forever in his arms.
I pulled away and our eyes locked, if we kiss, it would definitely end us up in the bedroom and I didn't want that just yet.
I tapped his chest lightly, "Tap to watch the moon." His words distracted me.
I shook my head and then nodded, "Yes, let's go."
Such a confused soul.
He escorted me outside and he spread the mat on the floor so I wouldn't ruin my dress.
I smiled at his gesture, we sat down on it and I rested my head on his shoulder, we both sighed it at the same time as we stared at the big bright beautiful white ball up in the sky.
It was as if the whole thing was a dream before my actual birthday, it would hurt a ton if I waken up to realize that it was just a dream or worse, hallucination.
I started feeling uncomfortable, not because of my dress or my nervousness but my body felt like it was expanding.
The expansion was very painful, it was as if I was shifting to a werewolf.
Too many fantasy books, it's probably cramps.
That would have affected only my waist, stomach and head but this was different.
"Oww." I cried as it became worse.
"Are you okay?" Kyle asked in worry.
There was no way to describe this pain, whatever was happening to me felt so wrong, I couldn't even answer because it kept increasing.
"Ah!!" I stood fast and noticed my one of my hands had turn to a paw.
No! No! No!
My Eighteenth year birthday can't turn to a nightmare after this wonderful dream, why can't my happiness last forever.
I hide one of my hand and turned to look at the confused Kyle.
How was I going to explain to this boy what I am currently going through…
This is the definitely the end of anything we had or were about have, if I was really transforming into a werewolf, there's no way the relationship would work.
"Isabelle." He reached out for my hand and flung it away.
"Please, I need you to stay away." I told him.
"Why? You don't seem okay, let me help." He offered.
The sharp pain increased, I felt my bone snapped more my spinal cord was starting to dislocate one by one.
"Oww!!! Stay away for your own safety, please." I warned him sternly before running off into nowhere but somewhere far away from him.
My speed increased as I kept overthinking the whole situation, I was definitely going to be a loner… I didn't even know where to find the rest of the pack, that's if I have one.
No more Kyle.
No more Carly.
No more Mrs. Stanley.
Just me now.
As I ran, I saw a huge log of wood across, I wasn't sure if I would be able to jump it but I just had to try, the shifting was still going on and trust me when I say this, it hurts more than period cramps like 10 x, the pain was unbearable.
As soon as I leaped off the ground with my legs to cross the log, I shifted fully into a white wolf.
I guess my birthday surprises weren't over yet.
So, on my Eighteenth birthday when I finally get the chance to be with my crush, I find out that I'm a freaking werewolf.
Like just why?!
Just when, my life was about to start with happiness, now I have to be alone because I wouldn't be able to control these raging hormones, shifting and all that.
I shouldn't have suggested or even agreed to be out during full moon, what was I thinking?!..
You can't blame me, I thought I was a normal human, nobody told me about my family's secrets.
I got distracted from my thoughts when I sensed his smell, I felt a presence around me, my mate was around, how fast….
He must have been looking for me for ages and my scent had drawn him to find me.
I braced my self for the new guy I was going to meet, I wasn't ready to just give up on Kyle but I knew that was no way someone like Kyle will agree to date a wolf.
I finally saw him from afar, the black wolf, his eyes colour lightened to honey eyed colour and that was when I realized that it was him.
This is one hell of a birthday with many surprises.
