Chapter 2 The blood moon wolf

The present.

The MC'S voice Interrupted my line of thoughts. I hadn't noticed how far I've zoned out until now..

I looked up and stared at the night sky. The ceremony was under the moonlight, like the campus name. Moonlit college.

The background was filled with murmuring students and lectures. And a sweet and low music was also playing in the background.

"They'll be here soon. I know it" Rebecca's voice sounded beside me. She's one of the brightest students in our class also the prettiest.

"What are they talking about? Better not pry" I said to myself. But their conversation became loud enough for me to eavesdrop.

"The vice Chancellor said so himself. They're coming to find a mate" Lia replied.

My ears were on them as I tried to understand what they were talking about. "Who's coming to find a mate? Why is it tonight, on our graduation day they chose that? Not that I care or anything" I said to myself.

Everyone has found their mate's except me. Normally, when a teenager turns eighteen they're meant to find their soulmate but here I am. I haven't even done my first shift, talk more about mates at age twenty-two.

I let out a sigh. The girls carried on with their discussion and I focused on the MC as they began announcing the graduates.

Immediately I started feeling anxious and my belly knotted.

"I don't feel so good," I said to Remi.

"Are you okay? Do you need to use the restroom or something?" She asked, her hands on my back.

I felt nauseous and my stomach began aching and a scent filled me up. surprisingly, my wolf began acting up. For the first time in almost all my years of living.

My wolf was moving inside of me. It was a good and bad feeling at the same time.

"What is this strange feeling?" I muttered.

"Is it your cramps again?" I heard Remi's words.

I shook my head no.

The throbbing pain in my lower abdomen suddenly stopped abruptly .

I rose my head and sat straight then turned to Remi "it's stopped" I said sharply

, paused looking at her confused and she, perplexed.

"Are you sure? You can use the restroom before your name is announced" she suggested and I turned it off with a wave of hand.

" No. I'm fine. I can get through the night" I said to her with a smile.

The night dragged by slowly and everything seemed peaceful until the feeling and pain increased. I yelped in the quiet auditorium and everyone turned to my direction, I fell from my seat and was now kneeling on the ground with my dress.

"Everyone is staring at Rory." Remi said through gritted teeth, embarrassed.

The pain was excruciating and I could hardly hear what Remi was saying.

I groaned softly while trying to get up and that's when the murmuring started.

Again, like the first time I stepped foot into this school.

They all ran away from me once they heard I was a human. They called me names while some said I should be killed.

The school authorities came to my aid and told them I was just a wolf living with humans. I thought everything would go fine after that, but rumours began again when they heard I couldn't communicate or shift to my wolf. And it got worse, I became an outcast.

I was bullied by everyone, especially Ceilia who was sitting right in front of me.

"Are you pregnant? You haven't found a mate yet you go about sleeping with different men in the campus" I heard her say her voice dripping venom.

"Let her" Remi defended me but Celia who had the upper hand, glared down at her, intimidating Remi.

"If you ever run your mouth. I'll let everyone know how much of a hoe you actually are. You don't want that news going about, do you? Your reputation would die even before you graduate" Celia's voice low and menacing, a sly smile appeared on her face immediately Remi let go of me.

"I have to go" I announced getting up. I stumbled over a few times but managed to get up on my feet by using the plastic chairs as support.

As I began walking out of the event, I started hearing them again. Their eyes on me. Like I was dirt. A filth and unpleasant sight to behold, with the way their eyes lingered on me.

I must leave here immediately, I said internally while trying to exit.

My vision was blurry but I managed to push through. Suddenly, I collided with somebody in aisle way. The person caught me before I could fall and I raised my head to thank them.

"Thanks" I managed to say. It was a male and he had the most beautiful eyes I've ever met. Suddenly my heart began thumping in my chest but I shook it off. Because of my blurry vision, I couldn't tell who it was but after that I released myself and began walking out.

Immediately I was out of everyone's sight, I saw the open field. I wasn't totally alone because people were scattered all around.

I stared to my right and I saw my dorm building. "You can do this Rory. Just a little further" I motivated myself. As I walked further, I stopped at a corner where I saw two people burying their faces to each other. The sound of their kissing was irritating me so I decided to leave without them noticing me but immediately I moved my legs, I fell to the fall right beside them.

This act made them to separate and they turned to me

"Who's that?" I heard the girl say

"I don't know. I'll help her up, "the gentle man said.

The bent over to lift me up and I managed to stand up."thanks" I muttered

"Ew. It's the outcast" they girls say. Her voice laced in disgust.

"What do you mean?" The man asked.

"She's the human girl with no wolf. Everyone despises her. Don't mingle with her, "the girl explained. I was already feeling hurt so her words didn't count.

"Hey are you okay?" The man ignored her and directed his attention to me.

I nodded to him to thank him again when I saw his face. "Didn't I just meet him not long ago? I bumped into him. Or am I hallucinating?" I asked myself as I stared at his face. The resemblance was stricken, however the pain didn't let me comprehend.

Then I turned to proceed further. I Hadn't walked much further when I collapsed again, now this time something felt off.

My vision became more blurry than before and somehow the place was changing from Moonlit to crimson.

People behind me began gasping as the atmosphere began shifting colours. It was weird and strange.

"Is it the time of the year?" One said

"I haven't seen it before but my grandmother said it happened when she was just a kid," another replied.

"What are they talking about? I don't feel too good" I mumbled to myself. The moon had distracted everyone and nobody came to my aid, not that I needed it.

I grunted then decided to pull myself up.

"It's a blood moon," someone yelled, making everyone start running to view it.

"What's a blood moon...?" Before I could finish.

I started feeling dizzy inside. Then my bones started to crack.

"What's this?Am I shifting under the blood moon?"

"Hey. Look at Aurora. She transforming under moon"

Everyone Gasped and mumbled and they were all in awe.

My transformation finally stopped and I managed to shift under the whole school's eyes.

Before I blacked out, I heard someone said

"She's the blood moon wolf".
