It was dead obvious that my mother and sister had come to cause ruin in my life. Just when things were starting to look sunny, their presence in my life casted a gray cloud over the horizon of my existence. Elena was the catalyst for all catastrophic events in my life. Soon everywhere will flame up in a chemical combustion. "Sister," Elena sang, as we were approaching the castle gate. "Hmm," I sighed. "You don't seem very happy to see us or are we not your family again?" "Oh suck it up Lena, please for crying out loud don't ask me any more silly questions," I said, groaning. "It's alright," Elena said, with imperviousness. "You do look lovelier from the last time we saw. Lance must have been kind to you, I suppose. Though now that I'm back in the picture, it's only fair he showers me with some of those affections. Isn't that right, mother?""Yes dear it is," replied Leah who seemed so far away. I suspected she only heard the last thing Elena said and did not even know what she wa
I went back to my castle, and oh yeah this Luna stuff was already really starting to grow on me, my castle indeed! Elena would not let me be. She followed me wherever I went like a lost puppy asking me torrents of questions like where are we now? Who is this? Where is the kitchen? "So this is your room?" she asked, pushing open the door for me. Thankfully, in our absence and between last night and this morning it was cleaned. "Yes, it is." "It looks big, wow Hayley you seem to be living generously proportioned. How nice of Lance."I swore if I heard her mention his name one more time I would kill her. Mother had respectfully gone to her own room. She seemed so far away. So lost in thoughts. I wish I could read through her mind. Elena was snooping around but I did not mind because the only addition I had made to this room was a few new clothes since I arrived. She sat down. "Where's the TV?" Elena asked."I only watch the one in the living room where we see movies on Friday nights
"Hayley I didn't like the report I got," Lance began. "You and your family need to conduct yourselves properly for the period of time you'll be staying together."I nodded and answered, "I'm sorry." "You're free to go!""Okay but how was your day?""I said leave," he replied, fuming. I blamed myself for lacking my usual self-control. If I had not gone ahead to punch Elena then none of this would have been happening. Lance would probably have been in a good mood and we would have had a nice friendly conversation. I was hoping he would snap out of his foul mood soon. I passed some people already making their way to the living room because the movie was about to start. "Hayley, hurry up the movie is about to start," Adam from within the mini pack I was placed said to me as he breezed by me. "I'm coming," I replied in a high pitched tone. I unlocked the door to my room, turned on the lights and scanned every inch of the room for anything strange before I entered. The room gave me th
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I lowered my voice to sound a little innocent, so I could appear cute since I had just woken up."Why am I looking–" he began with a whisper before abruptly getting up to meet me. "Do you ever wake up early Hayley?""Oh, it's morning already," I muttered."I was so tempted to dump a bucket of water on you but then I had to consider my bed," his glare never for once left his face.A part of me thought it was cute. "It is not cute and I am very upset," he pointed a finger angrily at me, making me throw my head backwards and groan."Don't look at me like that, I was tired and I'm not looking forward to training with you that much, you of all people should know I do my best to avoid fights," I confessed hoping he understood. "You're the Luna of this pack, people expect more and you should learn to stand your ground, not like you were ever going to win in a fight," he argued with me and I gasped out in dismay.I didn't reply to him after his stateme
"Come at me you weakling," Lance shouted as a means to infuriate me and it was working. Growling aloud, I moved fast for an attack but he caught my every move. At the beginning of the training, he was only using the power of reading thoughts but then I blocked him out and I still didn't even stand a chance and he had to stay on the defensive side."You're being weak Hayley, focus your energy. You have a lot of it," he said, still stopping my attacks.I realized that he paid way too much attention to my attacks from the arm and I was able to hit a few kicks at him. He was not a perfect fighter as I thought and I was going to have to use it against him."You do know I can read your mind," he paused and I used the opportunity. Using my entire strength and body, I pushed him to the ground, pinning him down too."If I were a villain, you'd be dead," I said with a smug smile."We'll you're not," he replied and I tried to get off but he had a death grip on my thighs, holding me down."Let m
"I'm sorry, it was supposed to be a prank," said Elena when I confronted her about poisoning me. "Watch it Elena! I'm not that little Hayley you felt so free to mess with," I snapped. "Oh really? Is it because you're now Luna? To me you'll always be my baby sister," Elena said, priding herself with her position as first born. "I'm giving you one last chance to behave yourself or else I'll send you and mother away," I said with an air of finality. "Yes Luna Hayley," Elena said, mockingly. If it was another person who had called me Luna my heart would have done a Summersault ten times over. I had still not yet come to terms with what I overheard Elena and my mother say yesterday. I needed to speak with someone, the professor of medicine, he ought to know something that could help me reclaim possession of my healer power from my sister. Lance would still not let me out of the pack so I had to send for the professor to come over. "Hello Hayley," he said to me once the lines were con
"Hayley, I've been looking everywhere for you," I jerked up abruptly at the sound of the familiar voice."Grey, you want to give me a heart attack?" I said holding my chest to placing my other hand on my head."Sorry, I missed you a bit. I'm tempted to ruffle your hair," he said, smiling smugly at me.I stared suspiciously at him, he was acting rather weird for someone that took pleasure in laughing at me."What do you want, Grey and if you touch my hair, I'll make sure you regret it," I narrowed my eyes warningly."Relax, I wanted your help," he said, dragging his words and looking at me like I was a child."What did you do?" I was more suspicious than I was before."I may have left Sonia while she was asleep. I got bored and I went out to hunt with the rest and now she's mad and when she finds me, I'm dead," he blurted out and I almost felt pity for him.But as a means of retaliation, I bursted into laughter. He gave me a flat glare but I couldn't help but continue my laughter."And
Hayley was in the pack medical clinic and she was attending to the patient Grey had informed her about. The situation was even worse than she had anticipated when he had explained to her what was happening to the patient. Ever since she came to the storm growler's pack, her little workshop had been where she worked from. However, now that her ability as a healer status had been confirmed by the number of treatments she had done she had been promoted into a full-time worker at the hospital. "Just relax," she said to the woman. "I'm trying to but I'm feeling it spread faster!" the woman complained, holding Hayley's wrist. "Please do something quickly. Oh my god! Don't let me die!"Hayley felt it was her fault that the woman laying on the bed was dying. She could have been killed spot on but this was done to her as a message from the vampire king, Scar. He bit her and let her go so she could inform the pack of his message to surrender to him Hayley, or suffer death continuously. There
