Rise Of The Silver Moon

Chapter 2

Asher's P.O.V

"Yo Asher! Get your ass up man we need you get to school or we're going to be late." I heard as I felt someone shaking me. I groaned and pulled the blankets over my head more.

"Leave me alone Jay let me sleep." I groaned out not wanting you get up as I only got about 2 hours of sleep last night due to going to a party with Roxy.

"Stop whining and get up! It's your own fault for going to that stupid thing in the first place." Jay wouldn't stop so, I growled and finally got out of bed.

Jay is my best friend and I love him, but he can really be a pain in the ass sometimes. I've known Jay since we were babies. Since he's dad is my dad's Beta and best friend it's the same with us. Jay and his twin sister Jesse are going to officially be the future Betas of the pack in a few days once I become Alpha.

I've been training and learning everything an Alpha should know. I've got everything but one important thing : my other half, my mate, my Luna. I have found her but only thing is that, she is not the person who I was expecting. Roxy and I are just hitting it off for fun, and when I say fun I mean "fun" just for me. She thinks that since she's my girlfriend that she will become my Luna and rule the Black Moon Pack with me. Which is NEVER going to happen, EVER.

The true Luna of this pack is someone you wouldn't have guessed. Alisyah Silver. I've been hiding the secret of her being my mate for 4 years and not even Jay knows, no body does. I want to make her mine only, I don't think she'll accept or want to due to my actions and behavior towards her. Even after I found out she's my mate I made no effort to stop what she goes through everyday, I just let it happen.

Alisyah is strong though, everything she got from everyone she still held strong. She never fought back ( even though she can fight I've seen it ) and I've always admired her for it. She may be an Omega but she sure does not act like one, she takes all the s**t she gets.

The pack labels her as weak due to the fact that she has no wolf but I know she's not. She could take down everyone if she wanted to. Alisyah Silver really is the most amazing person. I only hope she can forgive me for everything.

I can't keep hiding my feelings from her or anyone in fact, or the fact that she is my mate. Jay knows that I want to apologize to her but I never gave him a reason.

Jay snaps his fingers in front of my face bringing me out of my trance.

"Hey quite zoning out and get your ass in the shower. We need to leave soon anyway." He says with a sigh.

Jay walks to the door and opens it, but stops and turns back to me." You know instead of just thinking about apologizing to her, grow some balls and actually do it. Stop being such a chicken and speak to her. Oh and it's her birthday today, I found out from my sister, she wouldn't shut up about it. The are best friends after all, I'll see you downstairs." He then leaves closing the door behind him.

I stood up from my bed and made my way to my walk-in closet. I took out a pair of black jeans, my black skull T-shirt and my leather jacket with underwear and socks plus my black sneakers. I placed them in the bathroom and then took a shower.

After my shower,I got dressed and brushed my hair after drying it with a towel. I walked out my room and headed to the dining room, where everyone was sitting and eating. My dad sat at the end of the table with my mom on the left side of him and Jay on the other.

"Good morning everyone." I said as I walked in and took a seat next to jay. They greeted me back as I took a plate if eggs and bacon with a cup of coffee. After we ate Jay and I got up and headed to the garage. We got on our motorcycles and raced to school.

Just as we pulled into the parking lot, I noticed Roxy waiting by the usual spot I park my bike. She was dressed in her usual slutty outfit, a mini skirt with a crop top and heels. God sometimes I regret ever being with her, oh wait the only reason I did was to get my mind off my beautiful mate.

"Oh good morning baby!" She screamed as I parked my bike. Jay parked right next to me and got off with a wave of his hand and headed inside, he didn't like Roxy very much and I can understand why. I got off my own and took off my leather jacket. The second I put it down I was pulled into a kiss by Roxy. Out of habit I kissed back, just then I saw Jesse pull into the parking lot.

Once the car stopped I was hit with the most amazing scent of my mate, if only things were a bit different. That's when I saw Alisyah, she looked amazing today, as always. She wore a black ripped jeans with a black v-neck T-shirt and a black and gray checked shirt over, not buttoned, with a pair of black boots, she really looked amazing. Her long silver hair fell in curls down her back and her green eyes shined with life this morning, unlike other days when they would look so dull without life in them.

I didn't even notice I stopped kissing Roxy till she pulled away to look at what I was staring at. I was in such a daze of looking at Alisyah that I didn't hear what Roxy said. Once Alisyah was close to the door did I snap out of it. I told Roxy to knock if off and when she said I cared I pulled I really d**k move by saying I don't even though I do, very much. I put her in her place as well by saying she isn't going to be Luna, took my jacket and walked off.

As I was walking to class one thing had been bothering me, Alisyah's scent was amazing yes but it seemed different and her aura was more stronger. I shook my head to get it off my mind but it stayed. I couldn't get off all through my classes till lunchtime. I sat at my usual spot with my friends, Jay, Cole and Jasper.

As we spoke I noticed Alisyah walk into the cafeteria and get her lunch, but as she was about to walk to the table she and Jesse usually sit at, Roxy came and tripped her. She fell with everything she had on her tray with a thump. I stood up so fast and was beyond pissed at Roxy for what she did. As I was making my way over there I saw Jesse run up to Alisyah and help her up. They both got up and left the cafeteria.

I pushed pasted all the laughing people till I got to Roxy."Yoh! Asher hold up! Where are you going?" Jay asked as he placed his hand in my shoulder to stop me. Just then I felt my wolf Knox take over due to the anger we both felt and I heard him say that Roxy deserves to be punished. "I'm going to defend my MATE." I replied and he looked shocked by my answer but I had no time to elaborate or explain further.

"What the hell were you thinking Roxy?!" I shouted as I finally got to her. Roxy looked startled for a moment than answered me with annoyed tone, which only pissed my wolf and I off further.

"What it's not like you care anyway, you said it yourself. I was just doing what I always do, treat her like the Omega she is."

"Don't you dare call her that! You better make sure you stay away from her or so help me Moon goddess, I will kill you. That goes for all of you as well!" After that I walked out of the cafeteria and went to the school gym to cool off.

I worked out for the rest of the day, losing track of time as I was still a bit pissed. Jay came in, as I was on the pull up bars, to say that school was out and it's time to go home. I jumped down and went to take a quick shower in the locker room and then walked out with Jay once I was done.

"So..." Jay started off and I hummed for him to continue but he still remained silent.

"What is it Jay?" I asked him as I came to a stop for him to speak. He cleared his throat and took a deep breath.

"Mind explaining to me why you said that Alisyah is your mate?" Oh that, s**t he was not supposed to find out like this.

I let out a nervous laugh and scratched the back of my neck. "Well um.....you weren't really supposed to find out like this." I sighed and looked the other way.

"Its alright man I just want to know." He said as he gave me a smile. I smiled back and took a breath.

"Well you know after my first shift I started acting a bit weird everytime Alisyah was around?" He gave a nod so I continued."I found out that she was my mate. I know I have no excuse for not stopping the s**t she went through and for not claiming her but, I just–...I don't know. Anyway her scent was just so amazing and overwhelming and it made me want her more but I had to stop myself. That's when I started dating Roxy."

He rolled his eyes by that and I let out a laugh."The only thing that ever gave me the feeling of having her was her scent. Jay her scent is amazing, the calm feeling I get after the scent of lavender and mint hits me and today my god it was so strong and-" I stopped mid sentence when realization hit me.

"What's wrong man why'd you stop talking?" Jay asked and all I did was turn around and start running towards my bike. Jay was behind me following in toe as well and came to a stop at our bikes.

"What's going on Asher?" He sounded a little panicked now and that's not what I need now.

"Jay call it a hunch or just plain out crazy but judging by how strong Alisyah's scent was today, I think she might be shifting tonight." I replied as I got on my motorcycle. He gave me a nod got in his too and we drove back to the pack house as soon as possible to get my dad.

***************************************************

Alisyah's P.O.V

As Jesse and I drove home I kept rather quiet and that's not normal for me. When all this use happen I'll still talk or make jokes or do something to get my mind off the bad day I had, but today I fell angry very angry and hot really, really hot.

Jesse looks over at me and asks if I'm okay, I hum in response to say I am but I'm not. She pulls into the drive way of my house and we sit in silence for a few minutes before Jesse breaks it.

"I know you say you okay, but I know you lying. I've known you for 13 years and I know when you lie. You know you can talk to me and, seeing you bottle things up and keep how you feel from me too, it hurts Lisa." I could hear the concern and hurt in her voice and she's right I can't keep anything from her.

"I know." I whisper out and when she took my hands in hers, that was all it took for all my walks to come crashing down and I burst into tears. Jesse is quick to unbuckle her seatbelt and lean over to me and pulls me into a hug after unbuckling my own seatbelt. She holds me tight till I calm down enough for me to talk.

"Tell me what's on your mind love." She whispers in my ear as she rubs comforting circles in my back. I take in a deep breath and then spoke.

"It's just everything I've gone through for the past 13 years has been for no exact reason at all. I don't say or do anything about it and let it happen. I hate getting treated like crap, I know I don't show it but I do and even though I act like it doesn't break me but it does. It feels like I'm being punished for living. What have I done to deserve all this, hm? It can't just be because I'm not originally from this pack or that I don't have a wolf then what is it?"

At this point I have more tears running down my face and sobbing on Jesse's shoulder. I hear Jesse sniffle as she tries to calm me down again. I only wish for my life to be better than this or just one moment with no beatings or anything bad, just once.

I think I must have fallen asleep on Jesse's shoulder, since I don't remember getting out the car and heading to my room and getting into bed. I look over to my bedside table to see the time and it's now 18:45pm. I got out of bed and headed to my bathroom, did my business and then took another shower.

After my shower, I wrapped a towel around my body and hair as I walk to my closet. As I walked into my closet I took the towel off my hair to towel dry it before getting dressed. I've always thought of me having silver hair as weird and awesome at the same time. My dad said that it has always been like this ever since I was a baby.

What's even more awesome is that every year on my birthday, the moon would have a bright silver glow than any other night. I've always liked taking a stroll on the night of my birthday, just to see the moon. My parents and Jesse have joined me a few times but I mostly like to go alone. This has been like a tradition since I was 11.

After I was done drying my hair I got dressed. I put on a pair of black sweatpants and a black sports bra with a thin cropped hoodie over, so I don't get too hot, and my white trainers. I put my hair into a high ponytail and then walked out my closet. Just as I was about to leave, my eyes landed on the box on my dressing table. It was the blue jewelry box my dad gave me this morning.

I walked over to it and picked it up. I opened the box and inside there was a beautiful silver necklace, with a silver crescent moon with a wolf that sat on top howling, it was absolutely gorgeous.

It was always funny how I could handle silver and it had no effect on me but on everyone else. I held the necklace and admired the pendant. I then looked back in the box to see a note, written in my dads handwriting.

Happy birthday my sweet beautiful girl.

Hope you have an amazing day and many more happy years to come.

This necklace was found around your neck the day I found you. I thought of giving it to sooner but then thought, on your 18th birthday would be more special.

Love dad.

I smiled then put the necklace on and left my room to find my dad to thank him. I walked into the kitchen, took an apple and a bottle of water. I kissed my mom on her cheek and then left. I ran over to where I guessed my dad to be. He was patrolling since his shift started already.

"Hey dad." I said grabbing his attention.

"Oh, hey sweetie. What are you doing out here?" He asked as he gave me a hug.

"Oh nothing really, I was going for my usual birthday stroll and I came to thank you for this beautiful necklace."

"Oh, honey it was already yours, I just kept it safe for you, but either way, your welcome." He smiled then kissed the top of my head.

"Want me and your mom to join you tonight? I can ask someone to take my post and we can go."

"No, no that's okey. I was just going for a few hours and will be back later."

"Are you sure? I honestly don't mind coming."

"Yes dad, I'm sure, I'll be back later okay?" I giggled and hugged him one more time.

"Okey honey, be safe. See you later."

"I will dad, bye!" And I started walking off to my special spot where I go to when I want peace and quiet, and where I spend on my birthday, the lake.
