Love Under The Moon

Chapter One

It was said that in the olden times where people believed that mystical creatures had ruled over the lands and the humans. Ruled by many clans of different nations there was only 2 wolf clans that were always at war. The Tanaka where they believed in peace and were on the top of the mountains as they ruled over the rest of the wolf clans since they were the oldest residing clan. The Sato clan were more ruthless and always starting wars with smaller clans, they did not care how many they hurt so long as the clans submitted to them.

Soon after the Sato clan became big enough, they waited and planned their next attack on the top and oldest clan that no one was able to rule or was able to take control over due to their power. Sato clan had waited until there was a weak point as they plotted and gathered resources.

The day had finally come when they were given news of a child being born and the entire Tanaka clan was in celebration for the birth. The spy made a mistake and ran out before learning of the child's gender to report to the Sato clan. The plan to strike that night was their only chance and their only opening, they had to kill the child and with the devastation they could kill the clan in one go.

Tanaka clan was enjoying the festival as the head of the clan checked on his child and wife whenever he had the chance to run away from everyone congratulating him for his first-born child. He walked back to the room and saw a horrid scene where the guards were all killed and slaughtered at the door of his wife and child. His wife was only a human and she had just given birth to a child her body was already very weak. The thoughts rushed through his mind as he changed his form into the beautiful white werewolf that was the clans signature color. His blue eyes showed in the darkness as he broke through the door and howled as loud as he could to alert the guards and the clan's village that they were being attacked.

There he saw his wife surrounded murdered wife surrounded by dead bodies of those who were not in his clan. He knew she put up a fight, her being a part of the humans who were trained to kill mystical creatures she fought until the end. He turned back into his human form and held his wife's limp body, he could feel her faint breathing as she opened her eyes and said her last words to her husband.

"Protect our child my love" was the last words she spoken.

He gave his wife one last kiss before closing her eyes and laying her down to rest in peace as he grew furious wanting to know, who was the cause of this. He picked up his new-born child as he wrapped it in a small blanket hearing the small cries coming from the baby. His heart broke as he changed back into his wolf form and picked the child up from the blankets and ran out of the room.

He wondered out of the building and saw the rest of his clan fighting to protect their homes and the weaker clan's members. He felt even more fury as he tried running to one of the younger clan's members that was still learning to fight and was able to be attacked. Before he could make it, a wolf had jumped him and pinned him down, he felt the chewing on his neck, so it was clear it was another wolf clan that had attacked them.

"Who are you working for?" He asked as he just heard a laugh from the wolf on top of him.

"We are a part of the Sato clan, you are as good as dead with our clan leader behind us" The wolf says.

In anger he pushed the other wolf off of him and scratched at the others face leaving the wolf in pain as he managed to get away, his only thoughts at that moment were to protect his child at all costs. He managed to turn back into his human form when he spotted someone from his clan, they ran over to him and checked the baby.

"I am making an escape with my grandson to the monks, give me your child and I will protect it at all costs" The elderly woman said as she turned into her wolf form and placed her own grandchild on her back.

"Please take care of my daughter, I will meet you shortly at the temple only our elder clan members know of" He says giving his child one last kiss on the head and the clans leader necklace before giving her up to the elder wolf. He watched as they managed to get away, knowing the older wolf was injured he knew she would make it to the temple before anything else had happened to her.

He went to turn around but fell to his knees as he felt a sharp pain in his back. Reaching behind him he felt an arrow deep in his back. When he looked up he saw a man smirking, the man was the leader of the Sato clan.

"Why?..." He asked as the man pulled out a sword his smirk turning into a big smile.

"You are not fit to rule the wolves, you are to weak and married a human... and a hunter at that! You brought this upon yourself Akihiro" He says before stabbing the Tanaka clan leader.

The clan leader of Sato made sure everyone was dead including all the women and children, He knew there would be other members of that clan that were scattered out but in the clan's leader house he was sure every child was dead. He kept fighting until the Tanaka clan was no more leaving only his clans men cheering at their greatest feat.

The elderly wolf ran as fast as she could and managed to kill a few of the attackers as she managed to get away. She insured she was not followed and entered the secret tunnel to the temple inside of the mountains. At this point she was already limping and could feel herself close to fainting as she fell, her wolf form could not hold any longer and changed back into her human form. A passing monk on his rounds spotted her and ran to the help her up she kept asking what had happened.

She had explained that the Tanaka clan was attacked, she had brought the clan leaders daughter to them as well as her own grandson to keep them safe. The elder wolf knew deep down that the clan leader was not coming back, she had heard him scream in pain when she ran away with the children. The monks came running to the elder wolf and one grabbed the children from her to check the wounds while others picked her up on their back and they rushed to the temple to have her helped.

One child was only 2 years of age while the other was a newborn barely just born, to the shock of the monks the child had survived the run, knowing it took a full 2 days to make it to their temple. The head monk only sighed as he gave an order to take care of the two and agreed to raise them until they were of age to learn the truth of their birth. The elderly woman didn't die but due to the extent of her hard work to protect the children she was bedridden and was no longer able to walk due to her body going into shock.

Now after 20 years thechildren grew up and soon would learn the truth of where they came from and willlearn about everything to come about each of their birth
