One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Hailey's POV

"What happened?" I say when my dad wakes me up from what feels like a long sleep.

I sit up from my bed and he hands me a cup of tea before sitting on the chair beside the bed I slept on.

"You don't remember?" Theo asks me and I shake my head no. To be honest, I do remember. I just need him to confirm that these flashes playing in my head aren't made up and that he was there, with me when all of animal to human shifting happened.

"Hailey, I need you to know that had I known you were my daughter, I would have been in your life from the beginning." Theo confesses.

"You wouldn't have been so confused about last night or early this morning. You would have been born in to it instead of wrecking your brain trying to make sense of it all right now, at your age. I'm so sorry this is your reality right now but I'm here and I'm going to help you through it." He says to me.

"So, you really turned in to a wolf? I'm not going crazy?" I ask him.

"So did you." He tells me.

"How? I mean we read about werewolves, watch movies about them but how is this my reality? How is this even real?" I ask him, Theo chuckling at my questions.

"Werewolves have always been around. We just hide in plain sight, as humans but we make sure we don't live amongst them. We have our own communities, far away from humans." He says.

"Like this town for instance. It's a werewolf town and you, my dear, are attending a werewolf school." Theo tells me and I gasp.

"Wait. You mean the.." I say before snippets of Azuri calling me little human play in my head.

"Are they all, you know, like me?" I ask him.

"There are some humans but I mean not a lot but there are some. Mostly boarding school students, no humans live around these parts. We make sure of that. The only humans you will find at your school, will be girls not boys." He says to me.

"Why is that?" I ask.

"Oh man." Theo says before drinking up his coffee. He takes a second to answer me, trying to find the words.

"We call our females, Sheras. Female wolves are born to be warriors of the community they live in. They fight the wars and protect the children while the males find their soul mates in human girls. Female wolves also can't have children, we don't know why because a normal wolf animal can but our women can't and that is why we find love with humans to create the next generation." He explains.

"Will I have to be a warrior?" I ask him.

That would be devastating for whatever community I have to fight for. I'm the number one coward. I don't fight and now I'd have to protect people?! Oh no.

"No. You are alpha born and my only child. It has never been done but if you succeed, you may take over from me. However, because you are indeed a wolf, that means you can't have children and you may never find your true love." He says, emphasizing his words.

"Oh..." I say, Jaxon coming to mind. The memory of me breaking up with him playing in my head.

"Hailey, you have a wolf inside of you. You need to connect with her and form a bond because she's in you for life. From now on, you'll be living with me here because I'll be training you and your wolf. Being alpha born means you possess a strength far greater than any female warrior but you need combat skills to truly put that strength to use." He says before standing up and walking towards my door.

"Combat skills?" I ask and he just smiles at me.

"This is your room. Feel free to do whatever you want with it but for now, please freshen up. I have brought some people from my community that will help me get you ready for the outside world." Theo says to me, my eyes bulging out at the thought of seeing strangers right now.

He walks out and without giving notice, a young woman walks in and closes the door.

"Hi. My name is Miriam, I am the beta's daughter and I am 16." The girl stranger that just waltzed in to my room says to me.
