(A/N: I've finally updated after like a year...so sorry about that guys. I'm going to be editing my chapters because I know I need to tweak them a little a bit and I'll try and post as soon as I can. Happy reading! R&R!)

Chapter Ten:

A week had passed and I was getting on really well with some of the Drakes boys especially Helena who I thought was awesome. She was even going to help me learn a few techniques so i had a better stance through karate at some point but she had been pulled away to court for a while including Sebastian, Marcus, Liam and Quinn. So that left me with James, Opal and Duncan as Nicholas had gone to see Lucy, Logan was out somewhere and Connor was in his room so I left sitting across the love birds in the front room. They were all over each other and I could tell she was happy but seriously get a room, I don't want see my cousin make out with a guy.

I stood and decided to take a walk outside. I'd barely been outside anyway as I was afraid of getting shot with silver again it was a stupid fear really, I was safe at the Drakes or as safe as I could be. It wasn't a great feeling and besides I had only just recovered.

A cool breeze lifted a few stray hairs on my head but it felt good. I breathed in and out a couple of times. There were guards around the place but not as many as there were normally in the day.

Today was also not a great day for me, it was the day my parents died so I kinda felt like shit and it didn't help with the love couple in the main room constantly all over each other.

I would normally visit their graves but that wasn't going to be possible today, but I really needed to do something, my body was itching to do something. Not shifting for almost three months was taking a huge toll on me; I was stressed even more, tired more and I felt nauseated frequently. I was too afraid to voice my concerns to James as I knew he would say that would be normal for not shifting but I knew something was wrong or at least not normal with me. I found that meditating seemed to do the trick so I went back inside to the sun room. The sun room was empty and it was perfect for meditating.

The quiet and peacefulness didn't last long. Lucy barged in making her presence known.

'Am I interrupting?' she asked. I just sighed outwardly and stood up.

'No, its fine.' I stood up. 'Is there anywhere that's out of the way and really quiet?'

'Urm, there's the garage where Duncan works.' She said. 'I can take you there, he won't be there until later on tonight so will that will give you enough time with whatever you need to do?' she asked.

'Yeah, thank you.' I followed her outside. It was a good fifteen to twenty minutes' walk so it was right out of the way and very quiet. The barn needed a good lick of paint but I liked it. It was big and just what I needed.

'See you later!' Lucy yelled jogging back to the house waving behind her shoulder. I opened the door and my mouth dropped open. There were at least thirty cars in here including a couple of Harley Davidson's. I ran my hand along a mustang smiling. Duncan sure had good taste in cars.

I didn't touch anything else as I'm sure Duncan would know and hunt me down.

I sat away from the cars and started my meditation again. I was told that it would help with my anger issues too, I'm not sure if it had I was still very easily able to lash out over the tiniest thing.

'What are you doing in here?!' a voice barked. My eyes sprung open and I squeaked in surprise, I lost my concentration and fell to the ground on my back. 'I didn't give you permission to be in here!' I still hadn't got the wind back that was knocked out of me but I stood up anyway. I saw Duncan storming towards me.

'I'm sorry, I didn't realise how long I was. I didn't touch anything; I just needed to get things together okay? I'm sorry for intruding.' I walked passed him not glancing back. Because of him my nails had lengthened and my canines showed. I started walking faster, but he beat me to the door. 'Let me out.' I said.

'Who let you in here?' not even caring that I was trying not to shift.

'No one.' I wasn't going to rat out Lucy to him. 'Just let me out right now.'

'Why should I?' I could feel my eyes glowing now and I knew without a doubt I was going to shift and there was no I was going to be able stop it. I kept my wolf locked up for so long now.

'I am going to shift and I can't stop it like before, so you need to let me out now or your cars are going to pay.' I said as my bones cracked. He stepped aside quickly and I ran outside falling to the ground.

Shifting was natural to me but this time it felt like I had forgotten to even shift. My body was struggling with the change of bone structure. I turned to look back at Duncan who was watching me.

'Get James.' I growled. 'Now!' he quickly left.

My back had realigned but the rest of my body just didn't want to change. My hands had sort changed but not enough. I held back the tears that were trying to leak from my eyes.

'Kayda!' Opal yelled. I saw her feet as she crouched. 'What's happening? Why can't you shift?'

'Where's James?' I asked.

'Right here.' He spoke.

'I can't stop the shift but I can't fully shift.' I said starting to shake from the strain.

'You need to focus; you haven't shifted in a long time which is bad. The longer you go without shifting the more your wolf will be agitated and harder to control.' He said. 'Opal get back.' She obviously didn't move as I heard her squeal.

I shut my eyes and focused like I had never before. Even ignoring the others around me and focusing wasn't doing anything. I panted and looked up to James freaking out. 'I can't. I'm really trying but it's not working.'

He looked at me as if something had struck him but he was hesitating. 'What is it James?' Opal asked him. He crouched down placing a hand on my shoulder.

'I think you might be pregnant Kayda.' He said. I swear I almost blacked out.

'Pregnant.' I whispered forgetting my half transitional phase. He nodded. 'No, no, no, no, no, no.' I kept repeating to myself, I didn't listen to anything else anyone was saying. I was too shocked to acknowledge anything else. If I was pregnant that would mean I was already over three months now. How the hell? Well obviously it was Sam's but it was just so long ago now.

The shock seemed too worked though. I was standing on two legs, human form. I ran over to a bush and threw up. Not my finest moment I have to admit.

I turned to everyone, 'I'm going for a walk.' I quietly said and quickly walked off.
