Blood Moon

8: Crescent Moon

•°•°•Previously•°•°•

Shaking, I opened the letter and it read:

Congrats on the mate, my love, but we both know you are only truly mine. Don't worry about your dad he only has a little Wolf's bane in him, so he isn't dead, he just meddled too much in my business.

Watching and loving you always
L❤ 

I looked up at my friends and only one word escaped my lips, "Wolves bane"

The others looked at me and then at my dad confusion set on their faces and as it sunk in realisation set in.

Liam was at my side, holding me close to him in support. I heard cries and sobs coming from someone, Ash maybe? But when Liam stroked my head and while I hid my face from the world, cuddling into his chest, and he whispered how everything will be okay, my dad will be okay I just needed to calm down and breath, only then did I notice the sobbing came from me.

I couldn't handle the thought of him thinking that I was weak, I mean, who in their right mind would want a mate that couldn't handle something like this?

I walked out of his arms, anger now flowing through me, and I felt my wolf near. Furthermore, I chuckled lowly, and I started walking towards the door. As I unlocked the door I walked out onto the porch feeling the cold air hit my face, hitting me like needles, I took no notice of it and carried on walking until my walk became a run and I ran towards the forest.

But there were two things that I did happen to notice, the car for one that used to be outside watching was no longer there and the storm clouds seemed to be covering the town like a blanket, only this wasn't to keep out the harsh cold but seemed to keep it.

As I ran, I felt my body shift and I knew I was no longer in human form.

I ran towards the lake that we had been to earlier, and as I arrived there I shifted back, and I dropped to my knees.

Finally breaking down, allowing myself to feel. I wanted myself to feel, to feel the emotions. I looked at my reflection and nearly jumped when I saw it. My emerald green eyes had begun to glow and I saw specks of red around the rims.

I felt a presence and I looked up, and I screamed out, or at least I tried but found that my voice seemed to have escaped me.

The figure in front of me seemed to be glowing but what seemed to be the moon but how... and that's when I noticed the sky above me seemed clear and the moon shone brightly a crescent
moon. And my eyes trailed back to the figure.

Long silvery hair flowed down her shoulders, her eyes seemed to be vacant of any colour due to the blue being too bright. Her figure was slim, giving off a deadly, fragile look, and seemed to hold pride and authority with every step. But it was in the centre of her chest that took most of my interest, her leather slitted dress seemed to surround a crescent moon just like the one shining above me. But this seemed to be embedded in her like jewels, and her pale skin shone brightly.

She smiled at me and walked closer towards me. I tried to take a step back, but my feet seemed to be frozen in place.

"It's a terrible night for you to be out alone at night, don't you think? Especially in this storm, you should be happy I'm the one that got to you before anyone else did", she spoke in a musical voice.

Finally finding my voice I asked, "Who are you, more importantly what are you?"

"Oh, my dear Clare, you should know who I am because you have prayed to me every night before you go to sleep for the past three years. I know all your secrets, your desires, your hopes and dreams."

"Moon Goddess? How can this be? How? Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why now? Why are you only here now to help me, which is to what I am assuming that's why you are here that is....."

"Well, yes you are right there I am here for you but not really to help but more to guide you"

"Guide me?"

"Yes my child you are destined for so much and to answer your question as to why only now? Well you have finally come of age for your fate to be set into motion"

"Destined? What I the world am I destined for? To be the next alpha? Yeah, I know that one already.... so I don't see what the big deal is..."

"Oh no, that is only a fragment of what you will do with your life. You are destined to join all pacts into a war that cause a leader to arise, and that leader will take the throne as ruler over all werewolves and control and stop everything that would cause harm to our race."

"Who is this leader, and what has any of this got to do with me? And war, what war?"

"You will find out in due time, but for now all you need to know is that you are heading into a darkened path, but no matter what you face your life will not end here. Go back to your father, he will wake up in a week's time. And in that week you will need to get your pack ready for battle and the rest of your allies because there is a darkened that is coming for you, and he will not stop until you are under his command."

" Wait... it, is it that 'L' character? The one sending me all these messages?"

"I can't interfere with your fate by telling you too much but one thing I need to tell you is that, be careful who you consider enemy and allies because you never know who's hiding under a mask"

And just like she came, she disappeared, leaving me with nothing but confusion and unanswered questions...
