Moon Howlers

Chapter 7 - My Own Prison

(Unknown POV)

"We are all gathered here today, to say goodbye to our beloved Luna. She will be greatly missed. May you Rest in peace Sarin."

The entire pack was in tears, but I was furious. That bitch killed my bride. I shall rip her head off. Sarin was a strong woman. But the woman tore her to shreds.

Who was that creature? She is not like any wolf ive ever met. Her blood was different, her wolf is bigger.

I shook my head, trying to ignore the instant urge to break something.

Zoro, my Beta, came over to me, and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. According to Zara, the cause of death was blood poisoning. The bites didn't kill her. The bitches blood did.

Ive only heard of 4 creatures that have venomous blood. Sirens, Witches, Zombies, and fairies. Even a drop of these creatures blood, is deadly if ingested.

I had to know more about her....

****

(Zara's POV)

She woke up last night. And nearly broke my restraints. I unfortunately had to sedate her again. She was strong, very strong.

I don't know how much longer we can keep her. Her spirit is strong. Her will even stronger. What is she? That has been the biggest question of them all.

Never have I seen a hybrid creature. But this woman in front of me, is more than just a wolf.

I drew my next round of blood, her blue life force dripping into the vial. ...

A large snarl behind me sounded, I was placing the blood vial where it goes, and a sudden feeling of fear shot through my body. I turned around, there stood the large red beast that was once my hostage.

I checked my surroundings, I knew I had to escape. A door to my left caught my eye, and I started slowly moving towards that location, keeping my eyes on the wolf.

I took slow, careful steps. I didn't want to die today.

A loud screech sounded from the distance, and Freya took off running, and jumped through a window, running off into the woods.

I rushed out to the source of the screech. A wild panther had happened onto our land, and the Alpha took care of it. The black unmoving feline, looking very delicious.

*****

(Freya's POV)

I ran. I ran. I just kept on running.

Too soon, my body became tired, and drowsy. I felt sooo sleepy. Changing back to human form, I continued to head down the path, my footsteps stumbling with the unsteady path.

I was weak, bleeding from several spots on my body. I noticed something, my blood wasnt red. It was a blueish color.

I gasped, it wasn't normal.

****

My eyes opened slowly, my vision blurred. I saw a man standing over me. He was an unfamiliar face.

Badum badum

I heard his heartbeat. He was calm, he opened his mouth to speak, and I didn't recognize the language.

I closed my eyes again, feeling very sleepy.

*

I woke up again. I was in a different room. Someone had dressed me and placed me in bed. I felt slightly violated.

The room was nothing special. A small room with white walls.

The door opened, and there stood my mother.

"Mom?" I found my voice. I haven't seen my mother or sister since the day I changed. "Is it really you?"

She ran over to me and gave me the biggest hug.

"Freya, I'm so glad you're OK! We've been sick looking for you." I returned the hug to my mother. "Where have you been? Are you hurt? Sick?"

Should I tell her about being a werewolf? Or running into a witch and a vampire?

Instead I said, "I am OK mom. Its really good seeing you momma."

What was she doing so far away from home?
Wait... Where am I?

She released me from the embrace.

"Come sweetie, we have to prepare you for your birthday." She reached her hand out, waiting for me to take it.

Was it really my birthday already? Wow time has flown...

Badum badum

The heartbeat of my mother filled my ears. When was the last time I ate? Oh no...

I felt my body twist, and turn, my bones cracking as my wolf attempts to take control. I bit my tongue hard, causing it to bleed, and clinched my fists. I cannot let her out...

My mouth ached with hunger. My gums sore, my stomach clinching. I needed to eat soon, the bloodier the better.

I finally won the fight within myself, and followed my mom. I didn't recognize the hallway, or anything. Where was I?

She led me outside, where a large group of people stood, surrounding a large bonfire. The sun was setting, the hues of the colorful sky caught my eye.

I reached up to grasp the necklace I was given by Zayd, and realized it wasn't there.

*

The moon was rising, a gorgeous full moon. The skin on my body crawled with the urge to change. I had to resist, but it was really hard, I bit my lip, I couldn't let it happen. Not here. Not now. Not in front of everyone I ever loved.

Badum badum badum

I could hear the multiple heartbeats around me. My fangs elongated. It was going to happen. I had to fight, until the stroke of midnight for my 18th birthday.

Birthdays were highly celebrated in my family. There was so many of my family and close friends. I saw Renee and Halli. I saw Hannah, and Luis, and Rhett and Erin... Everyone I called my family.

As the sun dropped further and the moon rise higher, I was having more trouble. It was though the moon was making the change easier.

"10..9...8..7..6"

I could roughly hear the crowd of people counting down to the hour and minute of my birthday. It was muffled by the sound of many beating hearts.

"5..4..3..2"

A sudden warmth overcame my body.

"1. Happy Birthday Freya!"

I couldn't feel my body. What was happening? My body started to glow, my figure changed, I grew a small pair of wings from my back, a pair of cute little tips on my ears. It was at this point, I realized I was never human...

*

Inside the warmth, I heard a snarl. It didn't take long to realize it was my own. My eyes changed, my hands changed, my body bent back. I felt the familiar aches of my bones breaking and reforming. The white-hot pain rushing through my entire body.

Too soon, and too late, I stood in front of everyone on ever called family, as a fully matured large red wolf.....
