First times

-Avery POV-

After I told Adam he needs to be patiënt, that the Moon Goddess will reveals to him why he’s different, Adam flipped. As if it was in slow motion, I saw him jump out of his chair. I hear him yell at me. But that’s not what caught my attention.

Avery, look at his eyes.

My wolf sees it too. His eyes. They lit, like mine. But my eyes can’t even get close to his. Compared to his eyes, mine are little candles. And his eyes are floodlights. And then I felt it. Like a wave, growing power every millisecond. I look into his eyes when I hear him yelling at me: “ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?”. And there it was. He growled. The wave hit me, and I had no choice but to lower my eyes.

-Adam POV-

I’m still shocked. Then there was the moment I look to my mother. It was the first time. The first time I saw her looking down on me. What the hell is going on? “Mom? Why aren’t you looking me into the eyes? Mom, you’re scaring me. What is happening? MOM! look at me!”

She quickly looked up. Our eyes met, and I could see the fear and awe in her eyes. I took a step backwards, confused of her reaction. I heard her soft voice: “Darling, can you please calm down? I explain what is happening right now. But you first need to calm down. Please!”

I take a breath. I close my eyes, and wait until the buzz in my head is gone. When I assured myself my heart rate dropped to a normal level, I opened my eyes.

I see my mother was her lovely self again. She looks at me with the love and proud she always does. “Adam. I felt your Alpha aura. It was huge. So huge, I couldn’t even look into your eyes. Only the aura of her Alpha mate is big enough to make a Luna looking down. And I am not an average Luna, my dear. I am a chosen one. And you are not my mate, either. But my son. So, you can imagine how bizarre this is, right?”

“Was that the feeling? My aura bursting out of my body? There was a kind of buzz in my head, and that traveled down to my throat a second before I growled.” Then I remembered. “Holy smoke, mom! I growled!” I yelled enthusiastic to her. “That means I can shapeshift, right?”

Mom nods at me. “Yes, Adam. To growl, the body needs to have the connection to the beast inside it. So this is the evidence there is a beast inside you.” Then I see my mother frown. She continues: “But it's strange though. Normally you first feel the mental connection to your beast, before you feel the physical one. I’m not sure what this means and all. But I will search for more information, and ask grandmother. I think we have enough information for today, don’t you? I also want to think about the talk with Joshua. I think you need to clear your head too, Adam. Go to Joshua, I’ll see you at diner, OK?”

I walk upon my mother and give her a nice hug. “I love you, mom. You’re the best. I’m so sorry for yelling at you. It was like my body was taking over. I’m not used to those big feelings.” She smiles to me and gives a kiss on my forehead. “I now, my dear, we’ve all been there. Go. Before I’m using mý aura to yell you out of this room.” I chuckle. “You wouldn’t mom, you know you can’t affect me with that.” She blows me an air kiss and I leave the room.
