The Lost Luna

Chapter 3- The Shift

I quickly pull my truck over to the side of the road and park it. I get out and walk to the from of the truck resting on it to help me stand. Then the pain intensifies and brings me to my knees and I can't help but cry. I cry more as my body breaks and shifts in ways it shouldn't. I watch in horror as I watch my shadow from the headlights from my truck show my body twisting and contorting in ways it shouldn't. After a few minutes the pain subsides and I look at my truck and look in horror at my reflection. I see a big silver wolf with blue eyes looking at me, not me though, I am the wolf.

What the hell

Hello Paige, this is our wolf form, I am Crystal.

Why am I a silver wolf?

This is your first shift. The first time you shift will be painful and can only happen on the first full moon after your 18th birthday. As time goes on you will be able to shift as you please and it will become less painful.

So what am I?

You are a werewolf.

I'm stunned, a werewolf, I thought they were a myth. I had read stories about them but never thought they were real.

I know you have many questions as it seems you were not aware of the fact you're a werewolf so I will take my time to explain everything to you.

I nodded and started to run. I was amazed at how fast I was and how well I could see as Crystal explained everything to me about mates and Alphas and Lunas and packs and everything else there was to know. It was almost dawn when I shifted back into a human and realized I was naked. Luckily I was near my truck and I kept a gym bag with some gym clothes in it so I ran and put them on. Still in amazement from what happened last night I drove home. I got home and saw my grandparents were up and waiting at the dinnertable for me.

"Where were you?" My grandfather asked very angrily.

"I was at a friend's." I stated simply.

"We called all your friend's and they said you left early, so I'll ask you again. Where were you?" He stood up and marched over to me.

"My truck broke down and I was stuck on the side of the road." I tell him and try to take a few steps back but the grabs my arm making me wince a little at how hard he's gripping my arm.

"No you turned didn't you?" He said giving me a hard glare.

"Huh?" I said a little confused at what he meant.

"You turned into a wolf didn't you?" He said staring at me more intensly now.

"Yeah I did." I tell him straightforward, I didn't want to lie to him and he seemed to know anyway so maybe he was a wolf too. Before I realized it he slapped me hard across my cheek and I fell to the ground. I looked at my grandfather in disbelief of what happened.

"So you are poisoned from the Satan born creature your father was." I look confused at him, did he know something that I didn't know. "Your father turned into a wolf too and so I killed him and your mother since she was polluted from him." He said with no remorse at all.

"No they died in a car crash!" I tell him having some courage and standing back up.

"No I made it seem like a accident but really I destroyed the brakes of the car causing them to loose control and crash." I felt anger boil up inside of me from what he was telling me. He killed my parents. Before I can do anything I'm pushed to the ground and he starts beating me and kicking me. I can't help but lay there helpless as I feel some of my ribs breaking and my nose become broken and a black eye slowly forming. I'm surprised when I see my grandmother get up and try to stop him but he shoves her to the ground and goes to beat her too. I can't hold it back anymore and let the rage takeover. Actually I let Crystal takeover.
