September 18
43 Days till Halloween
Luna
I sighed as I flipped through the pages of one of my dad's old journals. I was so intrigued the outer part of it was tattered but the pages were still so crisp. I ran my fingers over the the words on the cover. 'The Coureurs Forestiers'. I took a deep breath before opening it as I began to read.
"If you are reading this then I have either been brutally murdered or someone has taken me.. Luna I love you and what you are about to read is going to be hard to believe at first but you have to trust me because things are going to get really rocky for you. " I closed my eyes for a moment gaining my composure before flipping to the next page.
" Now you may have noticed the words on the front it means Forest runners it's a very strong werewolf pack. The only breed who genuinely cares about humans safety but we don't protect them though that's a shadowhunters job. I'll tell you about them later.. Since I'm gone i am no longer the alpha leader. A boy by the name of Joey Castillo. He's the man you need to see. He's the next in line after me.. He's also marked to be your husband."
I sat back in my seat rubbing my temple with my freehand. This is already getting crazy. A husband.. A HUSBAND? NO, NOT HAPPENING.
" You are 18 now. Once the full moon rises on october 5th.. It will be your first official transformation. Once you get the hang of it you will be able to transform at anytime. It will hurt until you get the hang of it." I tossed the journal on my bed pulling my phone out of my pocket beginning to call my mom but I didn't get an answer. I sighed heavily grabbing my keys and heading out the door.
I shoved my hands in my pockets as I walked down the streets of New Orleans. I always felt like I was being watched but it felt like it occurs more often now. I don't want to believe it but I always felt like something was missing in my life. As if my family was different from my friends parents.. My dad didn't talk to anyone other than the guys he was raised up with. Uncle Gabe and Josh. I walked towards my old home an uneasy feeling washing over me. I haven't been here since my mom gave me the journal. Looks like all the people I need to speak to are here. I unlocked the door stepping it in shutting the door softly trying not to alert them.
"Gabriel she is not ready." My mother says sternly.
"Olivia, How ready does she need to be? No one is ever ready. Not for this life."
"She just lost her father. You know this."
"Yes and I've lost my best friend. It's bad enough you didn't tell her he was killed. She already has the journal everything she needs to know is right there."
"Yes but of course the one person we need her to meet has went rogue and has completely dropped off the map. He went to a witch to be cloaked. No Scent not even a strand of hair left behind. He doesn't want to be found."
"His brother will take charge until we find his brother and talk some sense into him." He growls lowly startling me a bit I cover my mouth trying to make a sound. "Joey was never cooperative. He never wanted to take the throne."
"That's a huge responsibility to take on. A dangerous one. Look where that got Alexander."
"Olivia stop justifying his careless decision!" I gasped his anger startling me. I have never seen him this angry in my life. I walked into the living room slowly there had to be at least 10 men in my living room along with about 5 woman including my mother.
"Mom.." I say softly all eyes darting to me.
"Oh, honey! What are you doing here?" She rushes over to me pulling me into a tight hug.
"Who are all these people and why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"That I'm basically in an arranged marriage with a man I have never even met. Or the fact that I'm supposedly a werewolf...? Which by the way I do not believe that for a second. Werewolves don't exist. That's supposed to be folklore. Imaginary. A scary halloween story.." I was rambling so much I hadn't realize that I was now hyperventilating. "Or the fact that my dad was murdered in cold blood not from a heart attack....." Gabriel and Josh came to stand before me frowning. Josh stepped up wiping the tears from my eyes before speaking.
"You're father wanted to tell you himself. He wanted to train you. He wanted to be here for your first transformation. None of this was meant to happen like this.. Joey and you were supposed to have a proper meeting.. We are sorry you had to find out this way..but everything you know as of right now is the truth. We will find his killer."
I gave him a look implying I wasn't budging or trying to believe what he was saying at all. He sighed before he begins to back up closing his eyes as his arms extend out my eyes widen as i watched his nails turn into claws and his entire body transform. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I backed into the wall, my mom trying her absolute best to comfort me as I watched in horror. They exist... I'm one of them? I couldn't wrap my head around any of this. I kept rubbing my eyes hoping I was just daydreaming but I wasn't. This was my reality... A reality I never expected to experience. What am I gonna do...?
