Daughter of the Moon and Fire

Ch. 1

                                                                            *** May POV ***

 All I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest and up into my throat. 

The only thing I knew was fear. 

To run as fast as I could, but no matter how fast I tried, or how deep into the forest I went. 

I could feel the icy coldness of the mist that loomed around me. 

It was like shards of ice stabbing my skin. 

Making me choke on my own fear that even if I tried to scream... I couldn't. 

Its voice harsh and cold wheezing raspy hiss in my ear always saying "Life's not fair to those who are weak!" 

Then I always wake up and look at my clock on my nightstand reads 6:15am.

Ugh.... why did I have to party so late last-night.

Well I might as well get ready for training. 

I put on my light blue spandex shorts, matching sports bra and then my favorite Adidas running shoes. I look myself over in my mirror.

Happy with my outfit I run down stairs to the pack house kitchen, and grab a breakfast sandwich. 

Then head out the door towards the training grounds. 

I love walking in the woods when no one else is around.

I just feel like the woods have always called to me like the pull I feel to the moon. 

I shifted on a blood moon which it is a rare occasions, and that was about 7 years ago on my 11th birthday . 

I got my wolf and shifted all in the same night. 

Which is also not normal...

I really love my wolf Nyx unlike my fire red hair and emerald green eyes. 

Her fur was blacker then the darkest night with a sliver  crescent moon on her forehead and sliver eyes like moonlight. 

Her size was bigger then any alpha which was abnormal. 

I feel that my connection to the moon and forest is stronger then everyone else. 

Alpha William says we all feel it because of our wolves but I got my wolf years before anyone else my age. 

The only ones that know are William, the beta Lucus, and my best friend Alie. 

She is William's only child. 

No one else knows that I can shift yet. 

I mean we get our wolves at 14 but we are unable to shift till the age of 18. 

That's because that is when our bodies are fully able to handle the shift and it won't affect our bodies. 

Well most people, I am different from everyone and I know it.

Whenever I ask William anything about my past he just says the same thing that my pack was attacked by a big group of rogues during the war and I come from a strong pure alpha line… not as pure as the royal family, but eh I normally lose interest at that point and just drop the question. 

I come out of my thoughts once I get to the clearing for the training grounds. 

"Ahhh… first one here." I say aloud. 

I like training alone not because I don't like training with others. 

Mainly because I don't have to hold back… I can run as fast as I want to, practice the advanced fighting techniques. 

Which I am not really supposed to know them, but I begged Lucus to teach me more like black mailed him. 

I am about half way through my work out when everyone one else starts to show up. 

Talking about the upcoming festival and revealing ceremony where we shift in front of the pack for the first time and sorted to what jobs will have in the pack based on our wolves. 

That is the one thing I do like that other packs don't do. 

Between the alpha and with the help of a grand white witch they determine what the best tasks a person will be good at doing and what rank they will hold in the pack. 

So yes that does mean an alpha born child can become an omega or an omega can become an alpha, but those things rarely happen. 

I am pulled from my thoughts by a person jumping on my back almost making me fall to the ground. 

"May! Why didn't you tell me that you where going to come early?" Alie squealed into my ear. 

"I am sorry, Alie I just didn't want to wake a sleeping dragon!" I laughed out and proceeded to shrug her off my back. 

"So May are you ready for the festival?" Alie asked me knowing I didn't want to take part in it. 

All I wanted was just to be a worrier for the pack, find my mate and stop being the center of attention. 

I can only wish for that to happen... I am pulled from my thoughts again when Max the future Beta comes to the clearing.

He clears his throat “So with the festival just 3 weeks away, some members from the other packs have already arrived and will be joining us in training and other pack activities until after the festival” 

Max looks around then makes direct eye contact with me and he continues talking. 

“Now, no f*****g fiaghting!!” he growls out.

“Okay, with out of the way. Let me introduce you guys to the first arrival. This is Evan Night, he is from the Central pack territory. Now I need someone to show him around…” 

I was trying to go to the back of the crowd so I don't get stuck in doing that pain in the ass job. 

That is the  last thing I need to do right now, when I am so close to being able to manifest my wolf Nyx with spirit energy. 

I mean Evan is extremely hot being about 6’5 and dripping with the body of a royal elite warrior, but I have more important matters to attend to. 

I was just about to slip away when a very strong hand caught my shoulder. 

“Shit..” I mumble under my breath. 

“What was that May? You weren’t trying to speak away now were you?” Max says with a devilish gleam in his eyes. 

I have to work on detection skills with Max’s shadow step. 

“What? me … no i was just going to go wash up because i am already done with my training, is all.” 

“Is that right. Then sense you are already done who better to show Evan around. Am I right?” 

“Yes… sir…” I sigh and look over at Evan already irritated that he messed up my plans for the day, but it can’t be helped now. 

“Hey, Even or whatever the f**k your name is the pack house is this way.” 

As I point my finger in the direction of the pack house,  Nyx giggles in my head knowing I purposefully messed up his name. 

All Evan does is c**k his perfect eyebrow at me, but he follows me regardless of me messing up his name. As we walk back I can’t get this small feeling  that I need to stay close to this man… gross.

Evan looks at me and starts talking in an unhumanly deep voice "So, you seem diferent from everyone else here, you're not originaly from this pack are you?" 

I stumble in my tracks and look at him "what are you talking about? I was saved by alpha William when i was a pup because my families pack was destoyed by rouges."

Evan just looks at me like he know some unknow truth and replays back to me "is that so?"
