Chapter 1

"Reina wake up!" ten year old Adrina yelled in her sister's ear "Rei! please Father needs you!" this time Adrina kicked her sister hard. Reina growled at her and glared her eyes matching her younger sister.

"Don't you dare kick me again" Her upper lip snarled baring her fangs. The only piece of her that separates her from her enemies. Making her the wolf-shifter she was born to be.

Adrina started to cry, scared of her older sister. She held her ground determined to get her sister up. "But Rei, Father needs you."

Reina stood abruptly her long black hair falling in long waves down her shoulders her eyes of deep blue like shimmering pools. She looked like her mother, Kai before Ecl started taking over her.

Reina sighed and walked over to her wardrobe and looked at her sister softly hoping to ease her fright.

"I will join Father sortly Addi" she paused as she smiled using the nickname her parents gave Adrina for she was named after there great grandmother.

she continued "Now go..."

Adrina nodded quickly and ran to find Hotaei to play with.

Reina opened the door to her wardrobe and picked out a soft black silk her mother would have worn before her magic started taking over. Tying the corset she walked over to the wash basin in the corner of her chambers. Picking up the wash cloth she dipped it in the warm water and washed her face only to catch a glance at her reflection.

She stared at herself for quite some time only to shake her head dropping the towel into the water. Walking to the door to join her father finding him in the throne room.
