My Life as the Luna

Episode 3

Sundy finally came and it was time to load everything up in the moving van. Thankfully we didn't have to load everything because mom had found some cheap movers. Once they were done we drove over to the storage unit and they unoladed everything into it, minus the incidentals and some clothes that we were going to need in the meantime.

Once everything was done we got back into our car and drove around for a while because we had no where to go. I hated it being cramped in the car for hours on end. Finally we just stopped in a random parking lot and just sat there for another couple hours. 

It finally was getting dark and we needed to find a place to sleep for the night. We drove around a bit after that to find a cheap hotel/motel to stay in. It took a bit but we finally found a place not too expensive so we could afford it but it wasn't no 5 star place either.

We grabbed some quick food afterwards at the local shop and went back to our room to eat. We sat there in silence while we ate never once saying anything about how we were going to get out of this mess we were in. 

Finally I broke the tension and asked my mom "so we goin' to start lookin' for a place to live?"

She looked up at me and said "I guess."

I was so pissed off at her response I just got up and went into the shower. I felt my wolf threatening to come out. She was just as pissed off as I was. 

The way having a wolf works is they are a part of you while you arent born with them per say you are. They live dormant within you until you become of age, usually at about 16. They have a personality similar to yours but have a different name and can talk to you, if they so choose. My wolf's name was Azalea, and she was a spitfire. She seemed like the complete opposite of me even though we had some of the same traits, such as we always felt the need to make others feel better over ourselves and we were fierce protectors. So the fact that things weren't the greatest now given the circumstances revolving around the homefront didn't please her one bit. 

I usually let her loose once a week, without a pac it was more dangerous for her to be out because there were hunters as well as if the local pack caught her they could just execute her on the spot without a second thought. So she didn't get to get out much but tonight was going to be an exception. 

Once I was done in the shower I went over to get some workout clothes and told my mom that I was going out for a jog. Since she didn't know I was a werewolf that was my cover, jogging. Which in retrospect wasn't a complete lie because I was going for a run, I just wasn't going for a jog in my human form. 

I walked to of the hotel and into the woods behind it and went in about a mile or so before i stripped off my clothes and started to change. Once Azalea was out I let her take control, I knew regardless if it was me or even her for that matter of being in control we were safe, and i just needed a break. 

[Azalea POV]

Raven needed a break so i took over for her. It wasn't uncommon for her to give me the reigns but it was rare for her to because she liked the freedom she had while in wolf form. So when she gave up the reigns i relished it. I loved having the grass under my paws and the wind through my fur. It was the most exileraating thing in this world. The only thing that would make it better would be to have our mate by our side running. Sadly without a pack it made it even harder to find a mate because we were always on our own. I didn't mind it most times but it did get lonely. 

I started to run and just run not caring where we were but maintaining our distance from civilization because the last thing you want to hear about is an abnormally large wolf spotted in your area. 

I ran so far i came upon a stream and just stared at myself in the clear water. I was this pretty snowy grey color with some slight brown around my eyes. My eyes are this beautiful green color that somepeople say they get lost in. I make a pretty wolf. All i can do while i stare at my reflection is think of my mate, I don't know what he looks like but I imagine him to be a big brown wolf with black eyes and a growl so loud it shakes the ground. While I have never met him I fell like i have seen him in my dreams and what i imagine is what has came through to me in dreams. 

I ran a bit more to give Raven some more time to relax, also because i was enjoying myself a bit too. Just as i was getting closer to where i left my clothes i could hear Raven's phone ring. 

I say to her.

I honestly had no idea so i let her taae back over to deal with that. wolves i was good at dealing with. Humans not so much.

[Raven POV]

"Crap, I missed mom's call. Dammit its after midnight, we stayed out too late. She's going to be pissed." I said to myself as i got my clothes back on and ran back to the hotel. 

Once inside i braced myself for what was to come, i slowly walked through the doors and down the halls trying to hold off on the firestorm that was going to be my mother. Once inside the room all i heard was "GODDAMIT RAVEN, WHERE THE f**k HAVE YOU BEEN?"

I had no words that could form, i knew if there were any people around us in rooms next to ours they were defiantly awake now. 

"WELL RAVEN WHERE THE f**k WERE YOU" she yelled again.

Finally Some words started to form and i was able to get out "I'm sorry mom i went jogging to clear my head and i lost track of time, I swear."

"Well because of you I haven't been able to go to sleep yet, I had to sit up and wait for you're ass to come back." She all but spewed back at me with venom laced in her words.

"I'm sorry mom, I really am. It won't happen again, I promise." I al but whispered at her.

"Whatever, get your ass in bed so I can sleep." She said as she turned out the light and got into her bed.

I sat there on the edge of my bed and just cried. I couldn't do anything right, everything I did pissed her off to no end and it never seemed lie it was going to get better. Hopefully one day it would but it certainly didn't seem like it was going to be anytime soon. Once my tears ran out Azalea creeped into my thoughts

With her words echoing through my head I finally laid my head down and fell asleep, and dreamed of my mate.
