Mistake

The Crystal Moon pack's visitor

    “Myrana, wake up you f*****g mistake!” I opened my eyes to the sound and feeling of getting hit with something metal. I saw my mother (Mila) standing there holding a (now bloodied) frying pan. Realizing that I just got hit on the head with a frying pan I gripped my now red stained head. “Get up and get ready, the Alpha of the Crystal Moon pack just called and asked for you to cook for a party again. You better leave in thirty minutes.”  She said with a sneer. To answer her I just nodded and started to stand up off the bed. She frowned disapprovingly and left the room. I sighed and looked at the calendar, “Saturday, February 29.” I smiled and whispered “Happy 17th birthday Myra, now let's get ready” I looked into the mirror seeing all the scars from the abuse over the years and frowned, “Hopefully something will change this year.” I looked at the time “7:00 so I have to leave by 7:30.” I walked to the closet and grabbed my loose black long-sleeved shirt and my black buckle jeans, then walked to the bathroom to take a shower. Once I took a quick ten minute shower I dried myself and changed into today's clothes, drying my hair and brushing it I let it hang down. Walking out of the bathroom and into the hallway I checked the clock again “7:13” I kept walking to my room and to my mirror grabbing my black mask I put it on (This mask covers the lower half of my face hiding the scars.) I walked to the closet and put on my combat boots. I took a deep breath and thought “I'm Going to leave early to get out of this house.” I walked down stairs and headed to the front door. Before I got to the door my brother came up behind me and punched me in my back causing me to flinch, in that moment he started to play with (the still healing) ripped wing, at this point I cried out in pain and whipped around shoving him away.”What do you think you’re doing slut!” He yelled out, I didn’t answer him and ran out the door. 

I walked to the cliff separating the demons and the werewolves, and looked around. Finally spotting a giant black eagle I whistled in a low tone, its head turned to look at me and flew over landing, this eagle was the same size as me and had small streaks of rose red  through out her feathers. “Hello again Rosy, can we fly to the Crystal Moon pack today.” the eagle perked up understanding what I said. “Ready?” Rosy nodded, and I jumped off the cliff. Feeling the wind rushing by me gave me great joy, I heard the sound of great wings beating and talons gripping around my waist pulling me back up into the sky. “Rosy it's always so fun and beautiful here.” I said to her, Rosy cried out in agreement, together we soared through the sky twirling and diving having a great time. We finally spotted the Crystal Moon’s pack house. Rosy slowed down and started to descend to the clearing in front of the pack house, when we were three feet above the ground Rosy dropped me and I landed on my feet with her landing next to me. “Thank you Rosy, will you be able to wait for me till I’m finished cooking.” Rosy nodded her head and nuzzled me. “Alright thank you. Bye now.” I started walking to the pack house and on the way up the stairs I spotted the alpha, I bowed my head in respect “Alpha Jones I have come to make the food you requested.” Alpha Jones looked at me and smiled delightedly. “Myra how many times do I have to say that you don’t need to bow your head to me, you’re a dear friend.” I raised my head and nodded. “Sorry, it’s out of habit that I do this.” Alpha Jones laughed and lead me into the pack house. “We are having the Black Moon pack come over tonight. Do you think you could make something a little more fancy than the usual meetings?” Alpha Jones asked me. The Black Moon  pack is the strongest and most dangerous pack there is. “I believe that I can make something that will work.” I answered him as we stopped to part ways. “Thank you Myra. I will leave you to start working.” I nodded and went to the kitchen. “What to make, what to make.” I pondered in thought for a while “Ah! Risotto and Ribs. That's what I can make!” I quickly got the supplies and started cooking.

Hours later. I breathed a sigh of relief “Finally done.” I checked the clock “7:15”

“Well I guess I should start bringing these up to the table and serve everyone.” I grabbed a rolling food cart and put all the dishes onto in and started to head to the dining room. Once I opened the doors leading to the hall I was met with a heated discussion on who’s beta was more stupid, I almost stopped in confusion. The smell of the food must have caught everyone's attention because they all turned to look at me and settled back down in their chairs. I have never met this pack before so I started to get a little worried about how they would react to me. I walked around the table putting a plate in front of everyone, once I was finished I took the cart stood at the corner of the room like I always do. Alpha Jones mind linked with me, “Myra thank you for making the food again.”

“Is the food fancy enough for this pack?” I asked him through mind link. “Yes and its wonderfully made.”

“Thank you again.” I responded and cut the mind link. Once everyone was finished I walked over and picked up the plates. Heading back to the kitchen to grab the dessert. Once again I walked into the room with the dessert and set it in front of everyone, when I put the plate in front of Alpha Jones he whispered “Happy Birthday Myra.” I smiled and whispered back “I’m surprised you remembered.” And then he rolled his eyes. Once I finished putting out the dessert I walked back to the corner in which I was standing before, but on the way back I felt someone's eyes on me I ignored it at first but it still stayed, finally I looked to find the source of the gaze and  found that it was the one and only most feared alpha, Alpha Theron of the Black Moon pack. I locked eyes with him and bowed my head in respect. I stayed that way until I felt his eyes go to someone else. I quickly mind linked with Alpha Jones and said “I must go take care of Rosy I will wait till after the meeting to say goodbye.” I saw Alpha Jones nod in acceptance and I quickly slunk into the shadows.

I walked out to Rosy with some food on a plate and set it on the ground waiting for time to pass. A while after Rosy finished her food we were laying together enjoying the night sky, I suddenly felt a dominating presence and quickly got up trying to find it. Someone stepped out of the shadows and I immediately recognized it as Alpha Theron. “That’s interesting to find and angel with a Demon Eagle.”

“I’m no angel.” I quickly responded. “Then what are you?” The reply was cold and threatening. “I’m a mistake.” I suddenly felt a wave of rage from Alpha Theron. “Where are you from then.”

“I’m from a pure blooded demon family.” During the silence I started thinking of the things I know about this alpha. 1)He is the most feared alpha 2) the strongest alpha 3) and the youngest alpha starting at age 16. That's all I know about him, it's not much though. “How old are you.” He asked finally breaking the silence. “I’m age 17 starting today. What about you?”

“18. What school do you go to.”

“Wilsbury High school.”

“Alright thank you.” He replied to me and walked away. “That was weird, right Rosy?” Rosy cawed in agreement. After another hour or two  everyone had finally left, I walked back in to say goodbye to Alpha Jones. “Ah! Myra there you are!” Alpha Jones spotted me and came over. “The food was delicious, thank you again.” 

“You’re welcome, and I would love to come and cook again.”

“Yes, that will definitely be happening sometime in the near future. I presume you will be heading home now.”

“Yes I have to be going now, goodbye.” I waved my hand as I left the building. I ran over to Rosy. “Hey Rosy! You ready to get going!” Rosy ruffled her wings and cried out in satisfaction. 

We soared in the velvet blue night sky with stars twinkling above us. I could tell it was about midnight from where the moons were in the sky. I finally got home and sneaked upstairs. No one was up to hurt me and I was relieved. I quietly changed into my sleepwear and got into bed.
