Chosen By The Moon

I woke up groning and leaned over to silence my alarm clock. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes and stretching I got up to start my morning routine before preparing breakfast for the entire pack. By 4:30 I was showered, dressed, and heading downstairs to start breakfast. I was silent as I made my way up from the cellar and down the back hallway that lead directly to the kitchen. The last thing I needed today was to be blamed for someone waking up too early, I sighed and rolled my eyes recalling how the Mia (the second daughter of the Alpah and Luna) slapped me across the face yesterday when she realized that I saw her come from the future Beta Jax's room. she claimed I woke her up so she needed sleeping pills to go back to sleep and Jax keeps some on hand. Grabbing me by my hair she threatened to kill me in my sleep if I told anyone what I had seen. Before I could stop myself I laughed and said "What you don't want mommy and daddy to know they are raising a w***e?" She reacted by delivering a powerful blow to my right eye which immediately swelled. Today is a special day and I refuse to let this worthless pack take it away from me. Today I will officially be a high-school graduate and tomorrow is my 18th birthday. Unfortunately my birthday will be spent catering to future Alpha Don for his birthday is the exact throughout the whole first floor of the pack house. Safe in my room I ate and got ready for my graduation day. I didn't have many outfits to choose from so I just picked a simple all black dress that I altered to fit my frame. I'm not skinny but I am not fat, I guess you could say I'm slim thick with curves in all the right places. The simple dressed looked great on me and fit my figure well. I moved on to styling my waist length hair with a few braids in the front and pulling the top half into a high ponytail. The Mia caused around my eye is already gone my bight gold eyes looked beautiful and complimented my light brown skin perfectly. Putting on my all black slides I left out of the side door and head towards the path that lead to the highschool. I'm 20 minutes early just like I am everyday. I like to avoid the crowds as much as possible especially that morning rush of people acting as if they didn't just see eachother the day before. I hate them all every single one of them. The sooner this day was over the better. I went through the day the way I always did, silent careful not to draw any unwanted attention and avoiding being noticed by faculty members eger to push me to socialize and build friendships, "If only they knew how much everyone here hated me they wouldn't try to force me to be around these useless beings", I thought to myself just as the bell rang signaling that it was time for the seniors to gather in the auditorium for the graduation ceremony. I found my way to my seat and sat down with my hands in my lap. I kept my head low to avoid eye contact but that didn't stop Jessy (a boy from Blue Moon pack the pack closest to Grey Moon pack) from tugging on my hair as he passed behind me causing my cap to slip off and land on the floor at his feet, he stomped it a few times before picking it up and roughly placing it back on my head. Everyone who saw Jessy's actions burst out laughing and teased me until the dean cleared his throat in the microphone gaining everyone's attention. I sat there blood boiling I was so angry I could see red and heard my heart pounding in my ears. I must of zoned out because the next thing I knew my name was being called "Nova Black" the Dean said again frustration evident in his tone. I got up from my seat and approached the stairs that led up to the stage. I took a few deep breaths to steady my nerves then claimed the stairs and walked across the stage. Shaking hands with the Dean and other various faculty members I accepted my diploma and left the stage. I was supposed to sit back down with the rest of my class but I couldn't force myself to stay there any longer. Exiting the highschool I headed for the path that would take me back to the pack house where I could have a hour of peace before members of the pack start coming back. Because the highschool in Grey Moon territory is the only one left in three territories due to a war that lasted five whole years and finally ended this past winter, the Alpahs of Grey Moon, Blue Moon, and Cresent Moon allied and made an arrangement for all the territories highschool age students to attend the highschool in Grey Moon. So long as no laws are broken the alliance will stand. Later that evening. I've been so busy the past four hours preparing dinner and doing chores I didn't realize I was being watched until suddenly the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. From the corner of my eye I could see a dark figure standing in the shadows of the hallway just outside the kitchen but when I fully turned my head the figure was gone. I would chalk it up to exhaustion but the feeling in my gut is telling me otherwise just like every other time I saw the figure. Maybe one day the mysterious figure will reveal themselves. Brushing off the strange moment I continued with my work ensuring everything was clean and nothing was out of place. There sound of music, laughter, and fun could be heard from outside where there was a huge part taking place for the grads. I of course wasn't invited not that I wanted to attend anyways. I rolled my eyes as I stared out the window at the scene before me. Everywhere I looked people were dancing and drinking it actually look great and for a split second I envied how they interact with eachother. That envy was quickly replaced by my raging hate for every soul out there. I still had a lot to do to get ready for tomorrow. Luna Maya and Alpha Zane gave me and the maids very specific and detailed orders for their son and our future alphas 18th birthday. It is to be an event to rival all events, a show of wealth and strength. Grey Moon was the third largest and wealthiest pack on the East Coast with there being twelve packs total and Alpha Zane is as arrogant as you would expect for an Alpha that has never been defeated in battle. All the invitations were sent out over a month ago. Over 40 Higer ups from packs across the country was invited in hopes ofbDon finding his mate, and 32 sent r.s.v.p's. As I was checking to ensure that all the suites and dorms have been properly prepared for the guest I started to feel an odd sensation in the back of my head and suddenly I my vision enhanced and the temperature in the room dropped. The screen on desk computer turned black and then the face of the most beautiful woman I've ever seen appeared I could almost see my face in hers and she smiled at me then she was gone and it was as if nothing ever happened. Shaking my head trying to make sense of what I had just experienced I got decided it was time to go to bed. I knew tomorrow would be bad and it was already well past 10pm. I layed on my old lumpy mattress restless as the events of the day played over and over again in my mind then my thoughts wander to the same place they have every night for as long as I can remember. I wonder about my life before Grey Moon and who my parents are. I wonder if my parents are alive and if they looked for me, if they are still looking for me. I have a whole past that I can't remember anything. I wonder who I was meant to be. I finally get tired enough to sleep and my last lingering thought was of my wolf and hoping she will at least love me.
