Luna Nightshade and The Monsters Cures

The Full Moon

Iapetus walked up to me and pulled me aside.

"I know that tonight is a full moon so we will take you a safe place to transform away from Ladon and Atlas so they don't set you off," he told me sounding concern. I smile and nod my head. He leads me down the mountain a little. When we stopped walking I saw a cave.

"Nothing should be in there so you can stay in there for tonight, I will tell your friends where you are and why you didn't come back with me," he told me and I smile.

"Thank you Iapetus," I said and he just nodded and walks away. I slowly walk into the cave and look around. The cave was dark but homey. The only thing that was off was that it looked like a wolf pack or something used to live here

"Looks like that doesn't it," a voice said and I jump. I turn around and see Rhea.

"Lady Rhea," I said as I bow but she stops me.

"You don't have to bow granddaughter I hate formality. 'Long ago before the gods, before Ouranos was killed, before Kronos went power hungry and ate his kids there was a wolf pack. They were special though they saved Kronos from Erebus the Primordial of the dark and shadows. The pack was known as the Kyvernitis meaning the gift of God. As a gift Kronos gave them the cave for them to live for the rest of their lives. One day the pack was hunting in the west but they were attacked by monsters that our father sent. The alpha was killed and the rest of the pack was either killed or injured. That was the day Kronos swore he would kill our father any way he could. He did but Ananke told him a prophecy like the one our father had that said his children would be the end of him. For four billion years he had no kids, but he lusted after me and soon we got married. He got me pregnant 6 times. 5 he ate, Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon. For Zeus, I prayed to my mother to help me hide him. You know the rest of the story." I look at her in shock.

"You loved Kronos didn't you?" I ask as Rhea sat down beside me.

"I still do but my children killed him before I could talk to him," she told me with tears in her eyes, "you should get some rest before the moon comes out." She stood up and wiped the tears from her eyes and walked out of the cave. I lay down and close my eyes thinking about the story Rhea told me.

My eyes shoot open as I cry out in pain. I can feel the bones in my body changing into the bones of a werewolf, my teeth changing into a canines, my fingernails grow, my nose burn as I smell a rabbit, the damp earth, and blood, my ears burned as they became wolf ears, and I can feel a wolf tail growing. When the transformation was done I run out of the cave and howl to the moon. I swear I can see Artemis smiling down on me. I run down the mountain but a Hesperides saw me and was about to scream but I growl and that shut her up as she ran the other direction. I run into the woods to hunt but I found Lupa and her pack. Lupa was in her human form so she has light brown hair, silver eyes, and a white tunic. Her face was similar to a wolf but a small snout not that noticeable but still there. I bow and run off but not before getting her to laugh by jumping on her. The other wolves growl but they stop when they hear their alpha laugh.
