Mates
I silently listened to his story. I didn’t want to interrupt. I know, it’s different for everyone. The process of growing, forming and eventually meeting your inner wolf. But it’s nice to hear this from Joshua. I look at him: “Thanks man, sounded like Jaggar was already a pain in the ass, from the start.” Joshua smiles. “Yeah, he has an attitude. After the real connection with Jaggar, we tried for weeks to make it easy. The first few times took me some energy and focus to talk with him. But I guess, being only twelve years old then, didn’t help either.”
“What was the first time you shifted? Is it really painful?” I ask Josh.
“I don’t remember exactly when it happened, to be honest. BUT, off course I remember the moment.” Joshua softly smiles. “It indeed was painful. It’s the first time your bones will crack and break into the shape of your wolf’s body. You need to build some muscle memory, and I guess I can say ‘bone-memory’ as well, so it doesn’t hurt that much the times you shift after that. It’s easier to shift at night, when we have the help of the Moon’s power. And your wolf knows that. So he makes sure to try to shift at night, the first time. I can’t explain how it felt. But I felt the urge to walk outside and to took my clothes off. I asked Jaggar if “it’s time”. And he didn’t respond. But I can feel him too, you know. So I knew. I was extremely nervous. Jaggar told me to let him take over. I never did that before, so it was hard for me to do.” Joshua stops a while, thinking at the past.
“I think you can compare it as being pushed inside the corner in my own head. I can hear, feel and sense everything. But I can’t control my body. You can still mindlink your wolf, and others as well. But being recessive in my own body means it’s more difficult to do. That’s why I, when I’m shapeshifted, I can only mindlink the people around me, close to me. When you’re like 10 miles away, I can’t reach you. Jaggar need to do that then. The only person you can reach, always, is your marked mate.”
I look at him. I remember mother talked about that. I always hated those conversations. Girls are stupid, you know. They’re chatty and annoying. Always caring about their stupid hair and clothes. Nagging about training. I sigh. But I cared enough to know how special it is to find your true mate.
Some wolves never find them. It’s like you belong together, you will miss each other when you’re not around and the bond will even get stronger when you mark each other. Your heartbeats will match, and you can feel and sense the feelings and emotions of your mate. It's intense, but nothing can be compared to it. Even before you mate each other, you are able to mindlink your mate when you’ve met.
And when you turn sixteen and be made an official member of the pack, you can mindlink every pack member as well. But for an omega it’s harder to do, than for an Alpha-blooded wolf. Before your sixteenth birthday you can only mindlink your family members, and normally áfter you’ve connected to your wolf. It’s still strange why I can mindlink with mom, when I was only five years old. And Joshua, he’s not a brother by blood. But I can link with him since he found his wolf as well. And I was not even twelve by then! 'Cause, being a Luna's child - I'm able to mindlink the pact since my twelfth birthday. It doesn't matter I haven't met my wolf yet.
I shrug, while I think about this and forgot I was talking with Joshua. “Sorry man, I was lost in thoughts. Again, thanks for sharing this! I hope it wil help me in the process..” I see Joshua smiles at me.
“Don’t worry bro, you know I would do anything for you. What do you think? Wanna party tonight? Isa is hosting this evening.” I shake my head. I know he likes Isa, although she’s not his mate. But they fool around since this summer. “Maybe, maybe.. I’ll think about it!” I wave him goodbye and walk in the direction of the gym.
