36 THE CHANGE PART 2
Autumn POV
I smile when I see Maverick awake and hear him speak of his wolf. I can scent that his wolf is completely awake. I’m holding
Connor’s hand in mine. I can feel peace in one minute before a wave of anxiety and pain over take me. The machines that
surround us are going haywire. Connor begins to shake and my own heart begins to race. I place my hands on his cheeks and
panic flows through my body at how hot he feels. The door flies open and the nurses and doctor rush inside. I’m ushered back so
they have access to my mate. I feel an arm wrap around me and I know it’s my mother. “This process is different for everyone
that goes through it. Your mate is strong and don’t forget you are not just a wolf.” What the hell does that mean? Witches can’t
make others into a witch. Before I can ask her what she means, a goddess awful growl rips through the room. I pull free of my
mother and wrap my arms around him. I notice that the shaking seems to subside. I pick up my head to look at Connor’s face
and I notice his eyes are black as night. He breathes in deep and pulls me tighter to him. “Hello little mate.” I feel heat pool in my
belly at his words. “Hello mate, what is your name?” “My name is Ranger and you smell like peaches.” I smile knowing that my
mate can scent me now.
“Ranger, can you give control back to Connor?” He pouts but does what I ask. “He is going to be a handful”, Summer purrs and I
can’t help but chuckle. She is absolutely right. I look back into the eyes I love so much and he smiles. He runs his finger down
my face and his eyes get big. I’m sure he is feeling the tingles more intensely than he did before. He puts his hand on both sides
of my face and presses his lips to mine. When he pulls back, I see his eyes flashing back and forth between his and Ranger’s.
“My wolf says its time” he says. I look at my mother and the doctor. He nods and the nurses rush over, disconnecting both
Connor and Maverick from the machines. “We need to get you outside before you shift. There is definitely not enough room in
here for two wolves.” My mother walks toward Maverick and Ruby. I help Connor to stand and wrap my arms around him. “I’m
going to teleport us to the clearing.” He nods and in the next second we are standing in the clearing. Maverick, Ruby, and my
mother are standing a few feet away from us. “I’m going to stay in case you both need me”, my mother says and I’m grateful. I
turn back to Connor. “You might want to lose the boxer briefs because they are going to shred when you shift.” “You’ll say
anything to get me naked” he says as he pulls them down his legs. I can’t help but look at this beautiful man. When I look back at
his face, he has a knowing smirk on his face. “Ranger wants out so you can check me out later.” I shake my head and laugh. I
take a step back. “Connor, this is going to hurt. Try not to fight what is about to happen. After you shift the first time, it will get
easier and less painful each time.” He nods and his face contorts with pain.
Connor POV
Once darkness took me under, there was no pain. I felt like I was floating and I wasn’t sure how much time had passed. “Connor,
you have no idea how long I’ve waited for you” an unfamiliar male voice says in the darkness. “Who are you?” “I’m the one you
came here to find.” “You’re my wolf. It actually worked, I have a wolf.” “Did you doubt that this was your destiny, Connor? You and
Maverick were destined to find your mates and your wolves. I am Ranger and you were always meant to be my human. My
brother Gaylen is Maverick’s wolf.” “I never doubted it, but it’s still surreal. A few days ago, I was a human lawyer who had no
idea that Autumn even existed. Now that I have found her, I can’t imagine my life without her. I never knew that humans weren’t
alone in this world and now I have my own wolf.” “Autumn is our mate and she is very special.” “I knew that the moment I met her
at dinner. I may not have been a wolf, but I felt something for her.” My wolf growls low and I smile. “I would say it’s time to go see
our mate. I can’t wait to meet her and Summer”, Ranger says. “Tell me what to do and I’ll do it.” I can’t feel him anymore and I’m
alone in the darkness again. I feel a little bit of panic before I feel like I’m an observer in what’s happening. I see Autumn talking
to Ranger and I smile when she tells him to give me back control.
Once we are in the clearing and I kick my boxer briefs away. I stare at this beautiful woman that smells like the most delicious
peach. I listen to her words about my shift and I’m not thrilled that it is going to hurt, but I’ve come this far and there is no turning
back. I wouldn’t even if I could. “Are you ready, Connor”, Ranger asks. “Absolutely” I say. “Listen to our mate, try not to fight me.”
I take a deep breath and pain like I have never known sweeps through my body. My skin feels like it’s on fire and I feel like a
thousand needles are poking my skin at once. Falling to my knees, I hear Autumn’s sweet voice in my ear. “You’re doing
amazing, Connor. I love you so much. Let it happen and don’t fight it.” I try to focus on her voice as I feel like all my bones are
breaking at once. I can actually hear the cracking of my bones. I can’t stop the scream that escapes me. The pain feels like it
lasts for hours, but I’m sure that isn’t the case. Autumn shifts into Summer and everything seems to still. The pain is completely
gone but everything seems different. I can see and hear better than I ever have. Summer rubs up against me and that’s when I
realize I have paws. “Beautiful paws”, Ranger says, and I laugh. A loud scream gets our attention and Summer and Ranger turn
to the noise. Maverick is lying on the ground writhing in pain. He is still in human form. Ranger whimpers to see our brother in
pain. Ruby has shifted just as Autumn did for me, but Maverick isn’t shifting into Gaylen.
Maverick POV
I have never felt such a feeling of relief as when Connor finally started talking. I won’t lie and say I’m not nervous about my first
shift. Ruby and I talked a lot about her first shift. I knew there would be a lot of pain, but I didn’t know if it would be worse being
changed into a wolf as opposed to being born one. Ruby and Tabby help me to my feet and before I know it, we are standing in a
field. I turn and throw up as I rest my hands on my knees. “You’re embarrassing me”, I hear Gaylen’s voice in my mind. That is
going to take some getting used to. “Are you alright Maverick”, Ruby asks, and I stand pulling her into my arms. “Sorry about
that. Teleporting is something you will need to get used too. Connor got sick the first time too.” Gaylen rolls his eyes in my mind. I
can’t help but laugh at my wolf. “Do you remember all the things we talked about, Maverick” Ruby asks. “I do Ruby”, I say, and
kiss her forehead. “I love you”, I say and step back. “I love you, Maverick. Remember, don’t fight Gaylen.” I nod “Gaylen, I’m
ready whenever you are.” I feel pins and needles all over my arms and legs. Within a few seconds, my skin feels like it is on fire.
I have never felt anything like this in my life. I would think I was truly on fire if I didn’t know differently. “You’re strong Maverick.
You can do this” Gaylen says.
The pain that starts in my feet and works its way to the top of my head brings me to my knees. I’m rolling on the ground praying
for this pain to end. My eyes are clouded with tears and I can’t make anything out. “Maverick, you’re fighting me. You need to
give in to the change or it’s going to continue to hurt” Gaylen says. I try to relax and breathe but I feel like I’m dying. I can feel
Ruby through our bond and I try to focus on that. I feel something nudging me and I know it’s not Gemma because there are no
tingles. “Maverick, focus on my voice. Ranger and I are here with you. You can do this. You are an Alpha”, Connor says in my
mind. I focus on his words and I feel my bones moving and cracking. Suddenly, the pain is gone and I manage to get to my feet.
“Not to your feet to your paws”, Gaylen says. I look down and he’s right. I shifted and Gaylen is in control. I feel the tingles on our
side as Gemma rubs against us. “I think my work here is done”, Tabby says and disappears. I hear a low growl and turn to see
Ranger. He is much bigger than Summer, but I’m bigger than him, but not by much. “That’s because we are an Alpha wolf and
Ranger is a Beta. I was created first by the goddess and then my brother”, Gaylen says. I smile remembering what the goddess
said about Connor and I being brothers now. Gemma nips at us and takes off. Gaylen growls and takes off after our mate. This is
going to be fun.
Archer POV
We reach the pack border and the guard bears his neck to me. Danica and I head toward the pack house. I linked my father last
night that we needed to speak with him and my mother today. I knew that Ruby would be busy with Maverick’s change. We reach
the office and I knock twice. “Come in” my mother says, and I push open the door. My mother jumps up and rushes past me to
hug Danica. “What am I, chopped liver?” My father laughs and I shoot him a glare. My mother comes over and hugs me. We all
take a seat and I tell my parents about the visit from the king’s brother. “I don’t understand why the king would want to meet with
us.” “I believe it has something to do with the prophecy, but I’m not sure either, dad. Maddox said that they would be in touch, so
I assume you will be receiving a call from him.” He nods and Danica takes my hand. I know she is nervous about telling my
parents but I know them. They are going to be thrilled to become grandparents. “What else did you come to tell us, Archer” my
mother asks, knowing me so well. “Danica and I are going to have a pup.” My mother jumps up and rushes around wrapping
Danica in her arms. I roll my eyes but smile. My father comes around and wraps me in a hug. “Congratulations son” he says. My
mother wraps me in a hug and kisses my cheek. “I think we should plan a celebration to tell your sisters. You know how thrilled
they are going to be to become aunts” my mother says. “Let’s see what the king has to say first, then we can have a BBQ to
announce our pup” I say pulling Danica to my side. I can feel her happiness through our bond.
Madelena POV
I approach the gate of the castle and the guard steps out from the guard tower. He is an older dragon and I can tell that he
recognizes me. “Can I help you, ma’am?” His disdain isn’t lost on me. “I am here to see my son, the king.” “Is he expecting you,
ma’am?” He is starting to piss me off but I need to maintain my composure. “No, but I am his mother. Let him know I am here
now.” I watch as he links and then he looks back at me. The smile on his face makes me uneasy. “You are not permitted to enter
the castle. The king says he has no mother.”
