 I'm Athena Brown from the moon shine pack and yes I'm a werewolf. I'm the daughter of Alpha. A werewolf who gets into a lot of fights.

I'm not mean, at least I don't think I'm mean. But if you mess with my brother then you're in for an ass whooping. That's why I'm in the principal's office. I wont mess with you if you don't mess with me. Simple as that.

"What is wrong with you Athena?" My principal asked me.

"A lot obviously or I wouldn't be in this hell hole sir." I responded. Long story short I was suspended.

I snuck into the house and headed up the stairs to my bedroom. It wasn't just mine though because I shared it with my little brother Mathew who was only 8 years old. I could hear my Older Brother and his Beta talking in the other room about pack business. My Dad was the Alpha until the Alpha King attacked our pack, killing my Dad and forcing my Older Brother to give him over half our land. So that is why I take care of Mathew. I'm 16 and I should be focused on school but instead I'm raising my little brother. Mathew was sleeping on his cot. I would protect him with my life. That's how much I love him.

I heard a crash come from downstairs and I grabbed Matthew and hid in the closet. I heard screaming coming from outside. Derick, my older brother ran into the room with his Beta by his side.

"Athena!" he said, panicked. I peeked out of the closet to see my brother frantically searching the room. "Athena, Mathew!" he practically shouted with relief when he saw us.

"Derick what's wrong?" Mathew asked.

"Athena our pack is under attack. I need you to hide Mathew and then come outside to help us fight" Derrick confirmed. We lost most of our warriors when we fought the alpha king. I knew we would not survive this. Soon the Moon Shine pack will be no more. With that Derick ran out side.

"Its going to be alright, Matty" I smiled at him. I hid him under the cot. "I will be right back, promise."

"Ok," Mathew whimpered. I ran out of the house.

But I was too late. All my pack members lay dead on the ground. The fire was consuming the pack house. I saw Derick propped up against a tree holding on to his side. I ran to him and wept.

"Athena." he said. his voice barely a whisper. "Please survive and protect Mathew, I love you." And as he said his final words the light faded from his eyes and his hand dropped to the ground. I could feel our bond breaking and it felt awful. Like someone just ripped your heart out.

I felt someone's cold hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see a tall man. His Black Hair fell over his eyes. "Hello Athena." He said in a sickly sweet voice. "I've been waiting for you."

"Who are you?'' I asked cautiously.

"Well I'm the one and only god of the underworld." He smiled wickedly. I might be all the way down here but I could smell his awful breath. Curse werewolf smelling.

"Hades." I breathed out.

"The one and only!" He smirked. "Now let's get down to business. I didn't come here to kill a bunch of mutts, I came here to get a certain someone. That someone is you." His hand on my shoulder dug into my skin and I cried out in pain. I could feel the darkness seeping into my veins. I fell onto the ground when he finally let go of me.

The last thing I remember was Hades saying "We will meet again my darling."
