The crowd froze, eyes darting toward Ainsley, tension thickening the air. This wasn't how it was supposed to happen. Ainsley was supposed to shift at the sacred stones, surrounded by her friends and family, not here, not now.
Alexander had reached the DJ booth and spoke into the microphone. "Everyone stay calm! This young lady has her 18th birthday approaching very fast. We are going to take her to the sacred stones, so if everyone could just let Della through…."
Ainsley screamed again, this time it cut off and was followed by a resonant howl. Della reached the spot where Ainsley had stood, and found Anna in all of her shifted glory. Like Mila, Anna was pure white, but her eyes—her eyes had the crowd gasping in shock and curiosity.
Anna's eyes were a beautiful, sparkling shade of lavender. This was rare, a trait only found among wolves who had Lycan blood in their lineage. For eyes to be lavender, the Lycan blood had to be fairly strong.
