Destined To Be Greatness novel Chapter 2

"It is time for Jessie Brown to shift for the first time and to officially be welcomed to the pack," He said giving me a sideways glance. I crowd whistled and hooted in positive agreement. The people that had been stood around me swiftly moved away to join everyone else. Taking this as the sign, I sat down crossing my legs and waited for the transformation to begin. I took deep breathes and closed my eyes.

Some time had passed and I was still sat on the ground in my human form. Nothing happened and I felt nothing. I opened my eyes slowly to see the pack with disgusted and hatred in their eyes.

"She's not one of us!" Someone shouted.

"She's an outcast!" Another agreed.

The corner of my eyes started to hurt from the tears that had yet to be released. I didn't understand why haven't I shifted? Everyone changed on their sixteenth birthday. What was going on? And where was my wolf?

This was the day that everything changed.

Jessie's P.O.V

It has been almost a year now and I still haven't changed into my wolf. I had been trying for months after my birthday to change but I never did eventually, I gave up and tried to go back to life as normal, but my life changed considerably since that day. All of my friends had turned against me calling me an outcast, a disgrace and everything along them lines. As the months progressed they started to become violent during school hours they would push me into other students, slam me against lockers, play pranks on me and occasionally I would get a slap or the odd punch somewhere on my body. However, at home they were a lot worse. At home they didn't have to hide from the humans at our school so they could use their full strength on me. No one ever tried to stop it but then again no one ever gave me a second glance anymore, I had officially been casted from the pack. My parents have also changed. They no longer showed any affection towards me and they can't even look me in the eyes. When it all started I didn't understand why I was being treated in this way so I decided to do some research into it.

I snuck into my father's library which was connected to his office on the top floor of our house. I've always loved his library it was very peaceful and I loved the smell of all the books new and old. It was one of those typical library's that was very old fashioned, it had a dark red and brown carpet, dark brown walls, old, tall bookshelves which were stacked with books and a spiral staircase leading up to the second floor. I knew exactly what I was looking for and that was the book that the elders wrote about everything to do with werewolves. I only hoped that the answers I was looking for was in that book.

This looks promising, I thought. I stared at the title. I was finally going to find out why I didn't shift and why everyone now hated me. I eagerly started to read.

On the sixteenth birthday every young teen wolf was to shift for the first time. However, there are some among us that do not shift. It is to be believed that the reason why they didn't shift is because they are not one of us, and they are outsiders, they are a disgrace to their pack and the werewolf population. Most Alphas are horrified to find out that they have a weak link in their pack and either force them out of the pack or use them for pack duties so the other members can concentrate on training.

It is still unknown as to how these teenagers do not shift but the most likely reason that the elders can think of is that the moon goddess has not blessed these young children with the soul of the wolf.

I stopped reading unable to read on as the tears fell from my eyes and soaking the page. What could I have possibly down in my life that the moon goddess didn't give me her blessing? I did everything that my parents asked of me, I was kind to my friends and others in my pack, I was a straight A student and I never got into trouble. I was even more confused than I was before I started reading this book. I willed the tears to go away so I could skim over the page again. I reached where I had finished reading last time but I noticed that there was another paragraph that was written in smaller writing compared to the rest of the text.
