Claws or Fangs

Chapter one

“Luna!” Is all I heard before I jumped out of my sleep.

I looked around and realised I was sitting at my desk in class. I must of fallen asleep again, that’s the third time this week! What is up with me?

I mumbled a quick “sorry” and tried my best to at least look like I was paying attention.

For the past week I have been zoning out and dreaming through memory lane. I kept remembering times were Jason, Qalum, and I used to spend almost every minute of everyday together.

Unfortunately that was not the case anymore.

Jason...he mysteriously “moved” one day without warning anyone. Well that is what the teachers and staff told us anyways. They said that Jason’s family did not want to be contacted, and even when Qalum and I called Jason’s phone several times, he did not answer. He did not even send a simple: “Bye”! It was as if he never existed after a few weeks had passed. Only Qalum and I spoke about him, and that was rarely.

That was when Qalum and I still hung out with each other that is… lately he has also been avoiding my calls and dodging our weekly ice cream trip. Was the pack pressure finally getting to him?

So much for an unbreakable bond!

The bell ringing dragged me out of my thought’s and brings me back to reality, which suck’s.

I picked up my books from my desk and headed out of the class to my locker and i of course was stopped by the girl absolutely hate. Her name was Ashley Myers the girl who tried to make my life hell but i never let it get to me of course. The thing is she isn’t even a slut she is actually very pretty and does not use men like some girls.   

“What do you want Ashley” I said with a disgusted tone.

“oh nothing, actually yeah there was somthing. The party you are planning to have for your big 18th…. Yeah well no one is going.”  She said with a snicker

I blinked a few times to try to comprehend what she meant by that. She was joking...right?

“What do you mean?” I splutter. Was this some type of crud trick in which she intended to embarrass me by twisting my words or taking them out of context?

She rolled her eyes, and flipped her ever-so-perfect hair, “Are you deaf? It’s not happening.” With that said she turned on her heel and began to walk away, leaving me astounded.

“Why not?” I cried running to catch up with her. My 18th birthday party was going to be the first party which I actually invited people other than Jason, Qalum, and Dad. It was supposed to reinvent me to the pack. To prove to them that I was worthy of being a pack member.

Ashley threw me an annoyed look and groaned, “Ugh! I don’t even know why the Alpha kept you. But I’m sure Qalum will make a much better decision and kick you out the first chance he gets.”

Qalum?

“I...he...what?”  I stuttered. With what authority was Qalum able to expel me from the pack? Yes, his father was the Beta but.... “Qalum is Alpha.” I whispered.
