Chosen By The Moon

Chapter One - Mate?

I made my way to the bathroom. I looked at the mirror. I looked over my body. My light brown complexion glowed with the natural light from the window. Gray sweatpants hung low on my waist. A black tank top on top of a black sports bra.

My black curls were messy and cascaded down to my waist. I ruffled them before I yawned and grabbed my toothbrush. I flicked on the faucet and wet the toothbrush before squirting toothpaste on the bristles.

I brushed my teeth in the mirror. I stopped briefly as I met the eyes looking back at me. Light gray eyes sprinkled with gold that carried a dark power. I shook my head before finishing my teeth.

I washed my face before leaving the bathroom. I made my way to my closet. It was early summer, it was 87 degrees outside. I grabbed a black crop top with the words 'More Bite Than Bark' and threw it on my bed.

I moved to my dresser where I grabbed white ripped jeans. I pulled on a fresh pair of black lace panties and a black bra to match. I dressed in the clothes that I picked out and went to my vanity.

I grabbed a hair tie and threw my hair into a messy ponytail. I grabbed a pair of socks and I turned to my bed. I picked up my iPhone and charger as I slipped on the socks. I grabbed my black and white converse as I made my way out of my room.

"Kiara! Date prisa y ven aquí!," I heard the voice call as I ran down the steps.

I turned into the kitchen. My mom was at the island sipping her coffee and chatting with Tía  Sophie who sat next to her. Dad was sitting on the other side of the island with his computer open as he ate his morning sausage. My brother Rider was on top of the counter typing away on his phone.

I walked over to Ricardo and flicked his forehead, "You're too big to sit on that counter.," I giggled as he glared at me with his darker gray eyes with the same gold as mine. I smiled and hugged my mom, "Buenas Días!"

"Buenas Días mi amor.," Mom brushed the hair out of my face and kissed my cheek. I sent her a smile.

"Good Morning," I said as I hugged her before I grabbed a piece of bacon off a plate in the center of the island. I turned to my mom. "So, why did you need me to come down so quickly?"  

My father gestured me to come over to where he was seated with his laptop. I went and stood by him so I could see his computer screen, "We will be having guests for the next month."

I rose an eyebrow as I took bite out of my bacon. "Why so suddenly?"

"There have been random attacks around the country. Our guests have a lead and would like to consult us for our services.," My father brought up a map on his screen. It was covered in X's. I looked at each one.

There seemed to be something off about the placements of each of them. "Is it possible they aren't as random as we think?," I turned to Ricardo.

He then hopped off the counter. "Well, it is possible. I can have Jason bring us a map so we can hand mark and examine it closer.," I nodded to him and he started to type away at his phone.

"So when are our guests coming?," I turned my attention back to my father. 

He leaned back in his seat. "They should be here in about and hour.," I looked at the time 11:30 a.m.

"The pack has been preparing for our normal Bold Moon welcoming. Our guests will be staying in our extra rooms.," My mother chimed in as she gently placed her empty mug into the sink.

I stretched., "So who will our guests be this time?"

"Blood Paw.," My father's words left his mouth calmly.
