Full Moon Under You

Chapter 11

I began explaining everything to them. From the voices during the full moon, to Peter in the locker room, to the dream I just had.

When I was explaining my encounter with the 3 wolves, they all nodded as if they'd already knew.

"We deciphered what the druid said while you were out." explained Allison. "She said that she has never seen a werewolf with purple eyes, but she has heard stories from her ancestors. They are more powerful than alphas and have a destiny to protect."

"They called it a Luna." I stated. "The voices I've been hearing are Lunas from the past that act as my guides. They told me they can only help me so much and that I need to grow as a Luna mostly on my own."

We all started brain storming what our plan should be going forward. How would I train? When would they start allowing me to help them? How would full moons work? What if I become too powerful? Eventually, I said I needed to rest and everyone went home.

I fell back onto Derek's bed to try and ease my racing mind.

"Hey, everything is going to be fine." said Derek. He came over to the bed and sat down next to me.

I took a deep breath and said, "It's not so much that I'm overwhelmed by this 'destiny' thing, don't get me wrong I am, but it's more that I had plans for my future. I wanted to go to college. I wanted to move away and do something bigger with my life. I wanted to make it so that my shitty childhood didn't define who I am. Plus, I have my sisters to think about. What if something happens to them?"

Derek sighed, "I know it's hard, but you can still have those things eventually. Right now, we need to focus on making sure you're prepared. Once people find out about what you are, there's going to be a target on your back."

"And my sisters?"

"It'll be my personal mission to make sure nothing happens to them." Derek replied. There was a sadness in his words. It's almost like he knew the pain of losing family.

"Thank you."

"For what?" he asked.

"Just... everything."

He nodded. "Let me give you a ride home." he offered.

"Can I just stay here? I can't deal with Jax and Emily asking me questions about tonight."

He looked at me and smiled, "Sure."

I changed into some of his clothes and crawled back into his bed. I laid my head on his chest and listened to his heart beat. For a moment, everything felt like it was going to be okay.

My head thumped against the wall of the training room.

"Did you really have to throw me that hard?" I asked Scott.

"You're going to face things that will throw you ten times harder. You need to learn now. Once you grow into your powers, it won't even feel as bad." he replied.

Scott was a true alpha, which I've learned is an incredible feat.

"I understand that, but I've been a werewolf for all of two seconds and you're an alpha."

"Try again." He commanded.

Although Scott and Derek were pretty similar in their abilities, Scott was much stronger just because he was an alpha. So, Derek thought it would be better if I trained with Scott more often to help me become better equipped.

Scott and I had been fighting for nearly 4 hours at this point. I was able to get a couple of hits on him, but each time he quickly overpowered me and I was sent flying. Derek was sitting in a chair at the back of the room making comments on my posture, stance, punches, and kicks. Needless to say I was growing tired, but I wasn't giving up.
