The Luna's Moon

She is my best friend and I know she would never do anything to hurt me. We have such a special bond that nobody and nothing can ever break. It's like we are sisters but with different parents. Although our parents treated us the same, one big happy family or so I thought. I couldn't believe the nerve of Andrea Devons coming up to me and the rubbish that flowed from her poisonous mouth. "Alissa is sleeping with your boyfriend. I saw them out together last night." I stare at the girl who is standing in front of me with wide eyes and hands on her hip.

She flicks her long brown hair over her shoulder not taking her eyes off me. A smug look on her make up caked face as she waits patiently for me to flip my lid. Andrea has always been a trouble maker right through nursery to high school. She just loved the drama of causing people problems and the hurt they would go through due to her lies and deceit. I definitely was not about to lose my shit with her nor was I about to believe a word she said. I might look stupid in her eyes but she was just wasting her time. "Goodbye Andrea." I laughed in her face before I sauntered off to my next class. What a nerve. "Fine don't believe me but your the one who will be sorry when you see it for yourself!" I heard her yell down the hall as I reached my next class before the bell rang. Walking into the class I spotted Alissa sitting at our normal table with Jake standing in front of her, she was laughing at whatever he had just said to her and neither had noticed me enter the room. A strange feeling came over me but I quickly pushed that to the back of my mind, telling myself that Andrea wasn't going to make me into a paranoid mess. "Andrea reckons you two have something you need to tell me." I walked right up to them and they looked up in surprise. "Oh yea like what?" Jake raised an eyebrow waiting for me to explain what I'm further detail. Amelia glanced down at the paper in front of her as if avoiding my questioning attitude. "Well she says you two are keeping a big secret from me. You know like I need to be worried about how close you two are." I said. I could have sworn I saw a look of guilt and worry flash over their faces for a second but then Jake reached for me pulling me into him and kissed my forehead. "She's just a jealous freak with nothing better to do. You have nothing to worry about." Jake promised me. An immediate sense of calm washed over me and I couldn't believe I could ever doubt the loyalty of the two most important people in my life. "Milly what's up with you?" Alissa gave me a strange look and grabbed my hand. "Andrea is a lying two faced cow and you of all people should know not to listen to her. " Alissa looked quite hurt over my accusations and I felt awful for even thinking it for a second. There's no way there could be any truth in it? I couldn't help the nagging feeling at the back of my mind...

My phone beeped and curiously I glanced up to see an unknown number on the screen. I looked around the room everyone was getting on with their own work and Mr Evans looked like he was having a nap. Quickly grabbing my phone I opened the message to reveal a photo. My hand flew to my mouth as a loud gasp escaped my lips and almost flying back wards in shock. What the hell was that. I glared up at the desk beside me but Amelia was deep in thought and Jake on the other side of her was to engrossed in some stupid football magazine.

I swallowed hard and tried my hardest to regain myself but I needed answers. Whoever sent me that photo had seen my boyfriend and my best friend together snogging their faces off. My heart just couldn't take the pain gripping at it, I felt so sick and it was difficult for me to keep my shit together. I wanted to rip her stupid hair out and claw at his face for what they had done to me. How dare they laugh behind my back and humiliate me. I wondered who else knew about this. My damn parents going out last night and me having to stay home and babysit my younger sibling. This would never have happened if I had been there. Then my eyes widened as I felt someone's eyes on me. Andrea. A huge smug smile on her face as it dawned on me that message was from her. What the hell was going on. I don't know what happened but I just saw red. Throwing my chair backwards as I stood up, I rushed towards her grabbing at her hair and pulling it so hard that she yelled out in agony. But I didn't care. The class erupted and I felt someone tug at me in a pathetic attempt to pull me apart from Andrea. She slapped me across my face causing it to burn and I returned that slap even harder until I heard a crack and blood was everywhere. It didn't stop me though because I just kept hitting her ignoring the screams and shouting around me. She had ruined my life. They had ruined my life. Turning around for a second I made eye contact with Amelia. She looked stunned and scared at the same time. "That's right you lying bitch. I know all about it." I screamed spitting in her face. "I'm sorry Amelia.. it was a huge mistake." Alissa shrieked hysterically and I couldn't even look at Jake. I knew he was starting at me though because I could feel his eyes on me. "Fight! Fight!" "THAT IS ENOUGH!" Mr Anders the school head yelled loudly causing us all to freeze on the spot. The authority in his tone sent shivers down my spine. We didn't see or hear much from the headteacher but I knew from that very instant that I was in a whole ball of trouble. "My office now young lady!"The headteacher bellowed in my direction. Without hesitating I grabbed my bag and hurried out the rook and down the hall to his office. Andrea was sitting in the other room covered in blood and crying like a drama queen. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest watching as she was seen to by the nurse. This wasn't my fault and I shouldn't be the one getting in trouble for it. Ten minutes later I was in Mr Anders office and he looked insanely furious. "I do not tolerate such behaviour in my school young lady. You will do well to remember that." His tone was aggressive and I swear I saw his eyes turn black for a second. I shook my head and frowned. Mr Anders straightened his tie before sitting down in his black leather chair. He may only be in his early twenties but he certainly had something about him that made me want to sink into the ground. "Tell me Amelia. How is it that a young girl such as yourself is so strong. It took five people to drag you from the girl you attacked." I didn't know what to tell him, I had just seen red and lost my temper. It's not often I lose myself like that. "I um.. well I don't know really know. " I stammered almost in a whisper but he still heard me clear as day. "I think you know. You can smell it. You're not like the rest of them are you Amelia." His voice alot calmer now but I didn't dare make eye contact with him . " I don't know sir but I am really sorry for my actions. " I whispered wishing I could just get the hell out of this place and go home. I didn't ever want to see foot in this place again. He sat backwards and was silent for a moment before telling me that my parents were already on their way to collect me. I was being suspended for the rest of the week and was to write an apology letter to Andrea. It was weird, like he was reading my mind. But that couldn't be possible. My parents arrived a few seconds later. I was so confused my parents bowed their heads at my headteacher before my mother yanking me out of the room and dragging me to the car which was parked out the front. I guessed everyone was still in lessons because the halls were empty. I looked back to see my dad talking to Mr Anders. "Mum im so sorry." I tied to reason with her but she remained tight lipped and refused to meet my gaze. Unlocking the car door she pushed me I and I immediately clicked on my seat belt. She shut the door and got into the front passenger seat taking a few seconds to glare at me from the interior mirror. She looked so disappointed in me and I hung my head sadly because I hated the thought of upsetting my parents. It had only been two weeks since we lost my grandad and I knew mum was already stressed and struggling with her grief to now have to deal with this. All because of some stuck up cow causing me to lose my temper. Jake suddenly popped into my head and I felt sick at the thought of him snogging my best friend. Or ex best friend as I should put it now. They were as bad as each other and also welcome to each other. I didn't need backstabbing liars like that around me anyway. The drive home was awkward and silent. My parents avoided me like the plague until we got into the house and my dad ordered me to the dining room to discuss my actions. Seating myself in the dining chair I stared at my fingers as if they were the most interesting thing in the world. My dad let out a heavy sigh and my mum started to cry for the hundredth time. Why the hell were they getting so dramatic over a stupid fight. Kane was always having fights at school but never received this kind of reaction. "You are one day away from your sixteenth birthday." Dad said. I looked up at him and nodded. I think I knew what he was about to say. More punishments with losing whatever privileges I would have gained turning sixteen. "So what is it? I won't be getting a party this year? I have to babysit Kane extra times? I'm grounded? Whatever it is." I rolled my eyes and sighed bored already. "It's time you knew about your past and who you truly are." Mum added. She dabbed at her tearful face and handed me a small box. I raised my eyebrows and frowned at the small white box placed in front of me. Carefully I opened it to find a baby's blanket and small pink teddy which read the words 'warrior princess'. I was confused. Was this some kind of weird ass joke. "What is this?" I held it up in front of them questioningly. My mother burst into tears all over again causing my dad to put an arm around her shoulders. I waited for a few minutes wondering what was going on. Everything was happening so fast. My dad reached for my hand and said some words that sent my mind into overdrive. What the hell. Adopted... "You're not serious?" I eyed my parents.. strangers whatever the hell they really were. "We adopted you from werewolves. Now you are almost sixteen it's time to return you home." Was I dreaming? How on earth was that even possible? I mean werewolves? They didn't exist in the real world, only in fairy tales. Didn't they?

I took me a while to process the information I was being fed. Nothing made any sense. Tomorrow was meant to be an exciting time for me turning sixteen. Now all I was filled with was dread and anxiety. I couldn't breathe properly. I don't know what I was meant to do or say but I didn't want to face them or anyone for that matter. I kept myself locked away until dinner time my mother knocked softly on my bedroom door. "Amelia you have a visitor. " "Tell her to go away." I seethed angrily. How dare she even come near to me. I knew who it was straight away.

I could smell her sorry ass the second she entered our driveway. "Come on darling let's talk about this. You need to understand what is going to happen...!" I jumped up from off the bed and flung open my bedroom door to reveal my tearful mother and my so called best friend standing side by side. Neither one looked at me in the eyes and I was glad because I could already feel my anger beginning to boil. It scared me how furious I was becoming. But they had both lied to me and they were supposed to be important people in my life. "Oh Milly Moo please don't be mad at me." "I want nothing to do with the likes of you. You cheating bitch." I spat at her in disgust. "Please hear me out. I found out just yesterday that Jake is my mate. I can't help the mate bond it is so strong. Please forgive me. We never wanted to hurt you." she sobbed. What the hell was she talking about. Mates and mate bond. Was I dreaming? "What are you talking about mate bond. Such rubbish!" I spouted and it was so hard for me to resist the urge of clawing her eyes out. She disgusted me and I hated how she and Jake had betrayed me and lied. "Jake and Alissa are mates. It is what the moon goddess chose." I turned to my mother and sneered. They must all be on drugs because this was too crazy to be reality. "It's true Amelia and tomorrow you will see for yourself when you get your own wolf." Alissa said seriously. I stared at her and my mother and suddenly let out a laugh. They looked surprised at my reaction but then Alissa got mad and insisted that it was the truth. "I don't believe it. You are all liars and I hate you all. Get out of my sight!" I screamed. "No you stupid idiot. You listen to me. I've had to live my life in silence about what we really are because of you. Stop being a spoilt little bitch and open your eyes to what you really are." I glared in horror as Alissa stepped in front of me and I instantly pushed her away causing her to fall backwards into the wall. She screamed as a loud thud was heard and she ended up in a heap on the floor. I was shocked by my strength. Dad and some strange guy who I had never seen before came rushing up the stairs to see what all the commotion was about. "Amelia darling please calm down right now. We all need to talk and clear this whole situation up." I didn't care for talking to any of them. "I have nothing to say." I stated crossing my arms and glaring childishly. The strange man stepped forward and I gasped when I saw him. The guy was about my dads age but he looked familiar. Tall and muscly, this guy was huge and had an aurora of authority about him. But he had the exact same brown eyes as me, thick curly black hair and a small nose. I stepped back in fright. He walked closer to me and didn't take his eyes off of me which caused me to hide in a corner of my bedroom. "Whhhooo ... who are you?" I stammered through my tears. But I knew who he was already. "I'm your father and I am the alpha of Rock Creek Mountain. You are my daughter." He spoke softly and reached out a hand for me. I hesitated but slowly allowed him to help me up. "Please give us a a moment!" He said without turning to the other three. They immediately left for downstairs leaving me alone with this man. His lips slowly turned into a smile and his eyes looked abit teary as he pulled me into a hug. "My dear child. I have missed you so very much over these years. I am sure you have many unanswered questions. I am here to take you home and answer anything you would like to know. You are completely safe with me. " It took a while to really take in what this man was saying to me but as crazy as it seemed I was beginning to believe it could be true. "So I'm a werewolf?" I questioned. He let out a small chuckle and nodded his head. "I appreciate it is a lot to take in but your mother dying when you were a baby was a big shock and adjustment. We did the best thing and giving you to your mothers best friend to bring you up and out of harms way was the right decision." "What do you mean harms way?" I wanted to know. He closed his eyes and sighed before telling me about some gifts that I have which make me extra special from most werewolves. I could not believe this was happening to me. I almost forgot that my ex best friend was sitting downstairs with my parents. "Tonight you will be coming back to the pack house with me."
