One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Chapter 30

Hailey's POV

The crowd went silent upon our arrival. Their alpha, Mr Gellar not needing to raise his hand in order to

silence them, his presence alone was enough.

They all looked on, curiously. Eyes scanning all us, avoiding my father and Mr. Gellar's eyes for

obvious reasons but they looked on. This was a very big pack but I did not know any others to compare

it to, so even in their hundreds or thousands, I could not say it'sthe biggest I've ever seen but if this is

the norm then what a world!!

I don't even know how many people are in my father's pack...

Something I need to learn if I should one day decide to take over, if I wake up and feel worthy of that

title but today, I do think there is someone better than me. Someone my dad can trust to make sure his

pack does not go to shit... I'm not even a little bit sure it won't crumble a day in to my ruling.

So, maybe Jaxon can unite the packs or someone from my father's pack can take over..

There has to be someone better.

"We have very important guests today. Guests that will change our lives today." Mr Gellar says to the

crowd, building enough suspense..

He looks on, as the crowds whisper among themselves. Many were pointing at Miriam, probably

thinking what Azuri already assumed and I could feel the poor girl shift around uncomfortably.

Cayden grabs her hand to comfort her and it seems to help with the crowd as well.

Now, I was confused. If I reeked of alpha blood then why were they solely focused on Miriam? Did she

hide her scent from them so they think she is human?

I'm obviously a wolf right now.

"My son has found his mate." Mr Gellar announces, the crowd erupting in cheers and clapping of hands

for their future ruler.

"That's right! My son, your future alpha has found his mate and today we introduce her to you." He

says, the crowd getting excited but I catch Azuri, looking down as everyone watches on.

"Now, this girl is like no other, the first of many to come. I will call on my son to do the introductions, as

this is his moment after all." Mr Gellar tells the crowd and they cheer on for Jaxon.

Jaxon steps up, giving me a quick look before facing the crowd. He felt different, looked different and

not to me but by just standing there. His posture and demeanor was different, in likeness to Theo. He All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

commanded the crowd, with just his body language, he commanded respect.

This was not the Jaxon from school. No, he was the alpha Jaxon. I could feel his power radiating off of

him, coming off in waves and making everyone feel not too small but not big enough to dare challenge

him.

This whole power play was captivating. It made me curios and the desire to be able to do the same,

walk up to people and have them immediately respect me. I am alpha born, it shouldn't be hard....right?

"I have been lucky, like my fellow brothers in finding my mate. We all look forward to such a day but

nothing in this world or the next could prepare me for that one morning when I bumped in to her. It has

not been easy and I'm not gonna lie to you and say white picket fences.... because at first, she had no

idea who I was or of my world. A problem very common to every male in this pack... for me though, it

was different. She is different." Jaxon says, his voice sound and clear.

You could not misinterpret his words. He spoke so eloquently, every word rang through as the crowd

listened to their future leader.

"Before I explain to you how different she is, I need to first introduce her. I also need you all to

remember who she is fated to, to me and to remember to give her the same respect as you give me."

Jaxon goes on. His words more of a threat than anything else, there was no way he meant anything

other than 'I'll harm anyone that dares to disrespect my beloved.'

The crowd start to whisper among themselves again, probably wondering what Jaxon meant by

different.

"I, Jaxon Gellar would like to introduce my mate, Hailey Ferguson. Please join me Hailey." Jaxon

announces and the crowd cheers..

The clapping dying down as they realize what I am. One by one they all looked on, shock on all of their

faces as Jaxon grabs me by the waist to pull me closer to him.

I was surprisingly not nervous. I felt great, ready to take on the world as I confidently looked on to the

crowd, their not so happy faces not deterring me one bit.

"Now, I know what many of you are thinking. How is this possible?" Jaxon says and the crowd agrees

in murmurs.

I look at Azuri, who's eyes were trying to intimidate me but not today. I smiled at her, genuinely so.

Today is bigger than her. Bigger than anyone alone.

"Yes, she is a wolf. An alpha born wolf." Jaxon says as loud gasps could be heard around.

"Why insult us like this?" Someone from the crowd shouts out. The crowd agrees with him as low

growls were heard.

"I am not." Jaxon says, the crowd becoming unsettled now.

"Then how can this be?" One shouts out and somehow I feel that this is my time to answer.

I step forward, getting out of Jaxon's grip.

"I am a wolf, yes. As much as this is a shock to all of you, this is all new to me too. For most of my life, I

thought I was human and wolves were just some fantasy drawn up by someone trying to escape reality.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think this could be true and that I would be in the center of it all! Out of

anger, after a bad fight with Jaxon, I shifted for the first time. I was not raised in a pack but with humans

so you can understand that I was never prepared for any of this. My father, alpha Theo, whom I just

recently met too, was luckily there to help me a little." I say, my voice surprising me as it reaches the far

end of the people.

Not a crack in, not a shake. My usual coward self was checked out and I felt different. Everyone was

listening to me, without interruption, without a growl.

"When I met Jaxon, I was lost in his eyes. I did not understand the obsession, the need to constantly

be around him or to smell him. I could not understand why I felt like death when we were apart and why

I felt the most alive when I was with him. It was foreign to me, nothing made sense. I couldn't

understand how I could not really be mad at him and hold any other feeling for him besides love." I say,

the women catching on to my word and understanding.

They were humans mated to wolves and they probably went through what I went through in the

beginning.

"When I was told of who I am. That I belong to a pack and that my father is an alpha, I was in major

disbelief! There was no way, absolutely no way this was real. Even though I saw myself shift, I felt

every bone break and felt every pain, I did not want to admit to myself that this was real but it is and I'm

here. I'm here because I was chosen to walk this life with Jaxon and start a new world for my kind, our

kind. Yes, it has never been done before. A shera could never be mated to a mera but here we are,

living proof that the goddess has heard your prayers. She knows of the pain every shera goes through,

while looking on as their mera brothers find everlasting love. She too, wants to end the loneliness you

all feel. To gift the future of our kind the ability to bring life in to this world and it starts with me. It starts

with Jaxon and I bringing full alpha born wolves and create a new world." I say, losing them once again

at the mention of the moon goddess.

"I know. I asked myself too.. why me? I've been a wolf all of 5 seconds and now I must do this? Why

not choose a shera that knows the pain and has seen it on many others like herself? Why choose

someone that really wasn't of this world and doesn't really understand the full culture, the ways of this

world? Because let's be honest, how am I to really appreciate this gift if I don't really know the pain?

How could this possibly be a blessing for me? I've asked myself these questions over and over again.

Yes, there are more deserving shera's right now but the goddess answered me right away by allowing

me to feel your pain. She shared with me your cries of loneliness and hurt as you watch on public

displays of love and take in children that aren't yours...yet you love them and raise them as your own.

She overwhelmed me with all of that pain, your pain and I understood the gravity of this situation and

why it needs to change. If the moon goddess believes that I am the perfect one for the job, I will not

reject it, I refuse to insult her like that. In fact, I know many of you have heard of the prophesy and with

that, I will prove it to you." I say, this time it doesn't take me too long.

I immediately light up, floating up to mid air for the crowd to see. The prophesy said this is how the

shera would prove herself, showing them that the moon goddess has not forgotten about them and that

she has heard their cries.

I come back down, Jaxon taking my hand as women around us start to cry. Many of them walking

towards me and kissing my feet as they thank the goddess of such a gift. Azuri stays seated, her face

stained with tears but the reason unknown to me...be it of joy or hurt or maybe both, I'll never know.

"I know for all of you it is too late. You will die lonely, without a companion and it will take some time

before we find mates within our kind but it starts here, within this pack. Generations to come will not

know the pain that follows you every day... they will only hear stories of a painful past and it is because

of all of you, the ones before you that made it happen. I am honored to be mated to Jaxon and to be

chosen as the one that breaks this cycle. Jaxon and I are fully committed in seeing this through." I say,

with the shera's still crying, so not many clap or cheer.

The shock was still hanging in the air but they all knew now. They have no choice but to believe in

Jaxon and I, no choice but to accept our union.
