The Beginning
My parents are not average parents. Just like I'm not your average teenage girl. My name is Ava-Marie and I will be 18 in 3 days. For some this isn't as big of a deal as it is in my home. My parents Lindsey and Ramiro are members of the Dark Wood Pack. I was the oldest of 4 kids. They are Rob, 17, RJ (for Ramiro Jr.), 15 and RC (for Raycrin), 15. RJ and RC are twins, and Rob and I are twins but I'm 10 minutes older!
Having Multiples at birth isn't 'normal', but like us my mother wasn't your normal werewolf either. My Father is the Alpha of the of Dark Wood Pack And his sister Rose and her husband Brian are the Alpha and Luna for the Pine Woods Pack. I know it's a little cliche, living in the forest inside a tree named pack but our Packs are hundreds of years old. Not many knew where we were located. You kinda have to be part of the pack by birth, or by mates in order to be accepted. We rarely had any rouge attacks on our land but it did happen. And they were either held captive until sentencing or immediately put to death. We were not cruel by any means of the name, we just really enjoyed keeping to ourselves, and enjoyed the peace and tranquility that we have.
My mom (Lindsey) was the only child to the Alpha of the Dark Woods Pack. The Alpha, my grandfather Mitchum lost his mate, Luna, and my grandmother, who also happens to be a white wolf, Marie, was killed in a rouge attack about 475 years ago. When werewolf's get older they can have the same kind of illnesses as humans can. And she ended up getting Dementia and ultimately lost her wolf and couldn't shift. When a werewolf cant shift they become almost human. They still have hearing, sight, and smell like a wolf but nothing else. Her being up in her years and not being able to shift cost her-her life.
So because of all this Luna (my mom) is one of the strongest, fastest, magical Luna's ever to be. The only thing that she has a problem with is shifting when she needs to. Because of this my father has taught my mother how to do hand to hand combat so at least if something were to happen she could handle herself.
Now you might be wondering why my mother has a hard time shifting and honestly I would love to know the reason why myself. But that is a topic that we cannot speak about in our home. Any time one of us asks mom or dad all we get is. Either an I don't know or I have been this way for as long as I can remember. But I'm not stupid, I know that its just their way of not talking about it to us. So instead of always getting the run around I just don't ask.
Only a few more hours until we get up to go to the Pine Woods Pack. I'm so excited to go because they at least have a pool, and a lake and hiking trails! Whereas in our pack, we don't… All we have is a gaming hall. There's arcade games, a pool table and a card table. Not that I don't like doing that kinda stuff, it just gets boring after the millionth time of playing.
