New School-Chapter 1
BEEP
BEEP.
Uuuh is it morning already, hurray time to leave for my new school. I guess I should introduce myself. I'm the youngest of eight kids or what my dad calls his pups. You see, my dad is the Alpha of our pack. You heard right im from a pack, a werewolf pack to be precise. There are thousands of packs all over the world. The top, you know, the Alpha of all Alphas, is the Alpha king or should I say soon to be, Alpha king's. Once the king retires, his twin sons, Colton and Traivs, will take over. They have decided to take over together , since they are equally matched. I'm getting carried away, sorry I ramble. Anyway, my name is Octaiva Lilly Crescent Moon. I know a weird last name. Anyone that is a part of the alpha family takes the name of the pack as their last name. So, obviously, I'm from the Crescent Moon pack. There are three other packs that are, I guess you could say, our sister packs. The Full Moon, Blue Moon, and Red Moon. Oh, I forgot to tell you what the Alpha king's pack is called. The Royal Blood Moon pack, and yes, they have the name for a reason. But I am getting off track again. Anyhow, I have just turned 15 and graduated from middle school. In addition to that, it's also the age we can hear our wolf for the first time. My Wolf's name is Lilly, and yes, it's my middle name. From what I understand, is that anyone's parents' wolf can sense their child's wolf because it is with you the moment you are born, just not mature enough for them to come forth. However, my wolf has been with me since I was five. I never told anyone that. She always tells me not to and that, "It's for our safety." Also, I was able to shift when I was six. However, everyone else usually shifts a year or two later after bonding with their wolf.
Anyhow, my new school is not just any school, it's Blood Ridge Academy, which is located within the Royal Blood Moon pack.
"Aiva, you better get up and get ready, we have to leave in one hour" my mom yells from down stairs. I call her mamma everyone else calls her Luna Annie or Luna Annabell.
"Be down in ten" I yelled back. I get up and get dressed in my normal faded blue jeans and my favorite purple flannel shirt, and grab my tan boots. Technically, they are work boots, but they are comfortable for me, and I'm not a girly girl like my twin sisters, Jessica and Jane. Those two are inseparable. I look like the prefect mash of both my parents, I've got my mom's long blond hair with hints of red in the sun, some people even say that my hair looks like it's on fire sometimes. I also have her curse to die for. Yet I'm also lean and muscular like my dad and very tall for a 15-year-old, standing at 6' 5 and still growing. I also have my dad's intense bright blue eyes.
Anyway, I get dressed fast, since I showered last night, it did not take me long to get ready. Now I just need to get my four bags downstairs. Oh, did I forget to tell you that Blood Ridge Academy is a boarding school, so I will be there until Christmas break. I have two bags of clothes, my toiletry bag, and one filled with books and my art supplies.
Lilly perks up and looks through my eyes and says" We got this, come on, put the backpack on, one duffel bag on each shoulder and the small one in between our teeth."
I do as she says, but the duffel bag on my right shoulder is five times heavier than any of my bags, being the one with my books and art supplies. "Okay, I got this. Good goddess, did I really pack that mean books? This is beyond heavy."
"Stop whining, we are the top of our class for a reason. Don't forget that." Lilly tells me.
"I know that, are you ever going to tell me why you came to me so early and why I was not able to tell anyone?" I asked.
"Soon, okay, first we need our mates. They will help protect us. If people knew who we are or what we are, they would want us for power. Okay," Lilly said before retreating to the back of my mind.
It's always mate this, mate that, yet she tells me that we are the most powerful thing out there.
I'm standing at the top of the stairs trying to figure out how I'm going to get down there with these bags. One step at a time, one foot after the other is what I kept telling myself as I started to take steps. It does not work because the moment I took the first, and next thing I know, I'm in midair, when I hear an ear-pricing scream leave my lips. But I never hit the floor. I feel arms wrap around me and smell honey and apples.
"Thanks daddy" I mumbled into his neck.
"Sweetheart, why are you trying to carry all your bags down by yourself?" My dad, Alpha Axle, asked me."
I lifted my head up from my dad's neck and looked at him with a smile on my face when I responded with "You raised me to be an independent woman, that's why."
He chuckles as he puts me down and takes my bags. "Pup, what in the Moon Goddess-loving world do you have in this bag?" He asks as he grabs the duffel bag with my art supplies and books. "Books and my art supplies, why is it heavy?" I ask as we walk to the kitchen together.
"You do realize that the school has its very own library right and that you don't have to take your library with you?" My dad laughs out.
"Sit down you two, it is time for breakfast." Mom tells us as she is setting the table with my twin sisters' help.
"Thanks mamma, it smells delicious," I said as I sat down.
