âHello!â Luna greeted Lucian as she walked up to her parents for an
explanation but rather was sent to get ready for dinner. Luna excused
herself and did as she was told. How strange that her gym teacher be
found at her house? Why was he here? It couldn't be because of any
misconduct on her part. She walked up the narrow stairs and overheard
them arguing in a low tone so as to not draw her attention. âShe has
every right to know. You cannot keep this from her. She needs her
family, her real family. You will not be able to help her. I can. You need
to decide. Either you tell her, or I will." You have until the end of the
week.
âWho do you think you are anyway? You can't just walk into our home
and place demands. You may be her blood but we raised her.â Michael
said.âDo you really want to test me on that? You wife lied to me and hid
the child from me. If there was ever a chance of us being civil and
getting past this, that time is long gone. You will be wise to talk down
your husband. I have the documents to support my claim. Speak with
the child and let her decide If you don't then I will.â He told them with
an authoritative tone and left. Lucian was upset when he left Luna's
house because of the rude reception that he'd received from Luna's
parents. âShe wasn't even married to my brother and does not have
legal guardianship of Luna. Who does she think she is having her pet of
a husband talk about things that did not concern him? I should rip him
to shreds for this insolence.â He was more concerned about Luna
though on this night especially. He decided to spend awhile outside at
a safe distance to keep an eye on Luna but when nothing happened till
2 Am, He left for a run in the woods thinking about how he could help
Luna without freaking her out.
Lucian growled as he began to shift. As his wolf emerged out of his skin
Lucian howled in pain as shifting was not always a gift as it was painful
even after years of shifting. Lucian was a beautiful black wolf with grey
eyes. He had a crescent moon mark on his neck. He disappeared into
the woods and it felt like home to him. Luna looked up at the moon
and realized how big and beautiful it was.She stared at it and started to
feel hot. The heat was unbearable and she suddenly felt the urge to get
out of the house. This is exactly how she felt on the night of her
birthday when she went missing. She didnât want to repeat her past
mistakes so she left a note on her bed in the event that she did not
return. âGuys, couldn't take the arguing so went to a friend's house. Be
back in the morning.â
Luna jumped out of her bedroom window and bolted for the woods.
She didn't know why she did what she did but she just felt that she had
to go into the woods. Luna ran and ran till she got to a creek deep in
the woods and got into the water as she was burning up. She felt like
there was something inside her that needed to get loose. The water
from the creek helped as it felt cool on her burning skin. She looked up
at the moon in the clearing through the trees and let out a scream
which to her surprise came out like a howl. She then felt her bones
cracking, the pain was excruciating yet she felt relief with each cracking
bone something seemed to emerge. Her jaws opened and grew her
arms and legs all felt like legs and she did a summersault in the creek
only to realize that she was no longer human
Luna looked at herself in the creek and what she saw was amazing. This
huge white wolf with blue eyes and a crescent moon tattoo on her hind
leg. The tattoo was just like the one that Luna had on her butt. That was
how she knew that the wolf staring back at her in the waters of the
creek was herself. She glared at the shadow then up at the moon and
let out a growl. "AOOOOOOOOOOOH" she howled. To her surprise she
got a response. "AOOOOO000000" The howl seemed to come from
the distant wood.She growled to herself and explored the wood, she
ran for what seemed to be hours and felt like she was looking for
someone. It was just like the last time when she felt this pain and could
not remember what happened when she awoke the next morning with
blood on her face and hands. She looked up at the moon and saw a
huge black wolf with a full moon tattoo on its chest. She lay on her
back and looked at the moon as she couldn't take her eyes off this wolf.
She felt an attraction to it. She got a scent, a taste and could almost
feel it. She felt her heart fill up with emotion and eventually began to
run as if towards the moon where she'd seen the wolf. She'd run for
what seemed like hours but could not reach him. She needed that wolf.
Her heart was breaking into a million pieces as she could not reach him.
Luna growled in frustration then the image began to fade and the pain
returned. She saw her hands emerge then her legs and saw that she
was butt naked seated on a tree stomp. Luna walked a few yards and
was able to sniff out her clothes. She came to the creek and found her
clothes lying on the banks of the creek. She went ahead to wash herself
in the creek then got dressed and ran home. When she got to her
house the sun had not yet risen. She looked around and as no one was
in sight she climbed up the side of the house and climbed into her
room.
She looked at the clock and realized that it was only 5:15 AM. She went
straight to the shower then went to get ready for school. She let her
parents get up as usual and then rushed down as was customary to
rush through breakfast and then take off for school. She hadn't needed
the note that she left as it had not been seen. They hadn't checked on
her.
Luna left for school that day with a new feeling in her heart. âLoveâ A
love that she felt for a certain black wolf that had taken over her entire
being. She had no idea what had happened to her more like why this
had happened to her but she didn't mind it. She loved it.
