Chapter 1

1

“I am Maria, Luna to the ancient moon pack of Eastwood.”

 Six months ago, my pack respected and chose me to lead them in combat but instead, I drove them to their deaths. They followed me but I led them to a turmoil that has killed my mate and now, I have been rejected.

"I am a Luna to no one and to nowhere."

The remnants of my pack seek to annihilate and to force me to surrender my status and authority. And despite all of that threat, it is difficult to hide who I am because I have the mark of a crescent moon right at my forehead.

The mark stands for a curse and anyone who tries to protect me will fall by it. The pack members believe I am the one who made them fail because of what I am rumored to be and they will stop at nothing until they cast me out of the surface of the earth.

Since I was young girl, my parents abandoned me in the care of my grandparents and when I turned twelve, I was told that I would one day rule the ancient pack along with my mate because I am the chosen Luna.

Now, I am nineteen and still do not understand them or why anyone would choose me to lead them. But in time I accepted my responsibilities. I learnt to communicate with my mate so there would not be divided loyalties between the pack members.

There were several other females in our pack that he could choose to be his mate. Yet, he chose me even when there was never growing attraction between the both of us. And because he did, the pack members learnt to respect me even when they believed I wasn’t fit to have their luna.

Why me?

Why did he have to listen to my strategies on how to win the war? He took my advice after naming me as his Luna before we ever mated. It seemed like being proclaimed Luna had nothing to do with him, it also seemed like my right.

It is just the same as what my grandparents said when they were alive. They always told me I would be Luna. How did they know the alpha would ever even choose me?

“A person with a perturbing family like I, a cursed spot on my forehead to prove it.” Max knew it and he still chose me.

"Maybe, it has to do with the crescent moon mark that I bear on my forehead." I was never a normal wolf to begin with, I had visions of things that were to come but I didn't see this coming.

I stop walking after several hours when I see a diner at the other side of the river. I have been on the road for two weeks, running and not looking back, trying to erase my scent.

I have nothing in Eastwood anymore but I'm not sure where I have to run either. I begin to cross to the other side of the road because I'm starved and I'm out of resources to eat too.

It would be efficient for me to rest here for the night and continue my trip but I have to be careful because there are other packs looking for me. I'm not sure what method they would use in killing me but I would want to guess either.

Alpha Max, the man I assumed to be my mate trusted me to find a way to defeat rivals that were trying to dominate Eastwood's territory. He believed in my strategy, something I didn't want to voice out but he trusted in it.

“The pack members never cared for me, not even once.” But because of him, they showed me esteem, thinking the alpha sees something in me. At a corner in my heart, I know they saw me as the Luna who has done nothing for them and now, they have a reason to come after me.

“A rejected Luna.”

“First, I enter into the store right next to the diner to grab a few things that I would need for my next lodging.” I slowly open the door; there is a hood over my head, hiding my ginger hair and the marking on my forehead.

"No one really pays me attention to me when I walk in and that is a good sign, the last thing I want right now is unwarranted attention from common folks or anyone at all."

I grab a basket and start placing toiletries into it, I pick up some snacks that would do some good for my journey and fruit drinks. As I pass the shelf, I see scented candles and it reminds me greatly of my grandparents who did everything to protect me.

I pick a candle in memory of them and I am about to head over to the counter to pay when I see a hoodie that is on sale. My current clothing is what I've been eating for the past weeks and I am definitely in need of something new before I move to another state.

The hoodie looks my size as I grab it but another hand grabs it too. I look over to see who it is. He is a towering, muscular person who is putting on a sun glasses, his presence reminds me of someone and there is something that reeks familiarity even when I am sure that I have never seen him before.

I don't want any trouble nor complicated affair and so, I let go of it.

You are letting it go without a fight? He asks, his voice is mastery and rich, too baritone for a nobody.

I don't answer. I turn away and begin to head over to the counter choosing to not spend time in conversation with a stranger.

After I check out my items, I barge out of the store in a different way than I came in without looking back for any reason. I head over to the diner to grab myself lunch as the sun becomes blistering on this fateful day.

As I enter into the diner, I see the man walk towards a truck which he starts and then, he leaves the premises.

_____________

I step out of the bathroom of the motel I just lodged in, a towel around my bed as I put on a new t-shirt while looking at my old clothes. I went back into that store and bought the hoodie that was on sale along with some shorts and two shirts.

Finally, my hair can receive air and I do not have to put a hoodie over my head when I'm alone in an hotel room. I use the already damp towel to clean my hair and then toss it over the table to devour her lunch.

I turn on the television grabbing the brown bag that is beholding my sandwich, bread toast, eggs and nuggets. I take a mouth full of the sandwich and chew slowly even when I am hungry to the core.

My eyes are placed on the screen of the television but I'm not listening to anything that is being said or done. As I'm chewing my food and taking a sip of my drink, tears rolls from my eyes and I am used to this part where it all comes crashing down.

I spend the day moving as fast as I can to get away from sight because I know where they would be looking. At this point they know I would want to leave the state or country, it is impossible for me to leave by flight because I know how many higher have access to stop me.

"So, I am doing this by road and hopefully, I would be able to catch up to a cousin of mine who waits for me at the borders of Lakecity, a state that is close to Eastwood." Once I do that I'll not have to do this all alone. I just have to get through it.

I think to myself after eating. Then, I take out my phone whose battery is dead; screen has been cracked thorough many occasions. I plug to into the charger and wait for the battery to load because there is nothing else I have to do; I don't care about what is going on in the television screen.

When my phone turns on, the first thing is a picture that a friend of mine took of me in school. "I just turned nineteen two month ago, and a friend of mine..."

"Well, my only friend took this picture of me and it was the last day I saw her in school." I smile just reminiscing about the moment and it makes me laugh.

It was my birthday and I decided to do something pretty with my face since I always made my hair scatter all around to hide the birth mark on my forehead.

And on that day, I brushed my hair, wore a skirt, and used a lipstick. My friend, Georgina, adored me throughout that day and for the first time boys in school actually noticed me.

I was too shy to speak to either of them but it was good to know that they felt somewhat attracted to me that day. The smile on my face is impeccable as I look at it, it is the year I spent without my grandparents and look at what my life has turned out to be.

I place both of my hands onto my eyes to clean off tears. I head over to my messages and there are a lot of unanswered messages from Georgina that I couldn't even reply cause what would I say to her.

“I am a werewolf, a Luna and I have a pack of brutal pack members who are shaking the earth to find me and exterminate me because they think that I am curse.”

And, they are not wrong.

"Everyone around me dies." They always die.

“I text my cousin telling her of where I am currently and when I would be able to reach the borders of Lakecity.” Fortunately, I was able to grab my cards and everything I need for the journey to another state.

After doing that, I leave my phone to charge and I head over to windows. I do a routine check all around certain axis which I have learnt being a Luna turned rogue for two weeks now.

"Next, I head over to the door and make sure that it is locked." I put my ear on the door, listening for anything, anyone.

After being sure that there is no scrupulous thing, I pack my bags, storing everything that I would need in my backpack in case I had to be on the run immediately.

I climb on top of the bed when I'm sure everything is where I need it to be and then, I close my eyes. It doesn't take minutes before I fall asleep.

My eyes are open.I get off the bed seeing how the sun is almost up and I sit in silence for about ten minutes before I start doing the most. I take out my tooth brush from my bag and head into the bathroom to freshen up.In total, I use thirty minutes to get ready to be on the move once again. After putting my hair in a bun, I wear the hood over my head and say something to my heart that no one gets to hear.I unlock the door of my room and right before I can step out. There is a figure right in front of me, I haven't taken my eyes to stare at him but I know he is a wolf because of his growling.Slowly, I raise my head and they are about eight in number. I move back in fear as I realize that I have been caught by them. I cannot run and I cannot hide."Good.""Get back in, Luna." He says as his voice is thick, vicious and I recognize him very well to be my dead mate's friend. The look in his eyes shows that he will spare me no mercy and I am on my own in this very moment.I don't know

"You don't have a choice." Dane, the new alpha says to me and it gives me the chills.Get up or Beast here will do it for you! You may have used that threat on others but it won’t work on me. He says and I cannot believe it.Why doesn't he fear my curse?I am taking time to understand why he isn't scared of me when he beckons Beast to get me up but I immediately try to get up myself. Unfortunately, my knees are weak and I almost fall the moment I get up but Dane pulls me.I push him away when he holds me. I am struggling to stand but I do not accept the help from him."You don't seem to have much use for your legs." Dane says and I do not want to answer him."I can walk." I tell him."Let's go." He says and the pack members all turn to begin to move by his order.The first step I take is dreadful and I have not even taken more than one. I am holding my drenched back pack in one hand while I hope to make sense of my legs.“Unexpectedly, Dane who I thought was walking grabs my bag from

I feel what electrocution is like. It raises everything in me and it awakens all of my memories in a seconds. I am thrashing all over the surface of the tub as if I did not just try to kill myself as everything that I’ve been through flashes through my mind. “And everything returns to darkness, tightness and so much…cold.”I open my eyes, my head hurts and my throat is parched. It takes more minutes before I remember what happened yesterday and the moment I remember the feeling of what happened and how it happened. I jerk from the bed.Why am I on a bed? I think in my head and when I try to get up, I find out that my right hand is handcuffed and I try to use my other hand to set myself free. I look around the room but there isn’t time for me to remember that I was here yesterday.I look down at myself and I notice that I’m wearing clothes, a sweater, pants, and socks! I wasn’t wearing clothes when I tried to kill myself. How come I’m not dead? I continue to force my hand out of the h

I stay still in a single position looking at this home of his and my mouth chooses to widen as I looking forth and back. I have been in the wild for so long that I don’t mind being here for a change even if I’m forced.“Come; let me show you your room.” He says to me and he does it very casually like I am some invited guest.“Like a guest, I follow him upstairs silently and we climb up a staircase touching the part where he claims that he marked me.” Dane opens the door to the room and he beckons her to enter.I look at him before I walk in and I am really marveled at how beautiful it looks. I’m actually wondering if he is really using me as a hostage or something else. I turn back to him after taking my eyes away from the polished tiles, walls; even the air is just so clean.What are you thinking? He asks me and I remember that he is right behind me.“You cannot keep me here forever.” I say to him even when I would like to rest here.“Of course, I can’t.” He says.Then, what is this?

I am stunned by what Dane says.The Legend of the chosen one is a story that every little is told during their fledging years so that they can feel special and important to the pack members. It is just a story and now, I have to listen to it so I can feel special. This is what I believe because why else would Dane try to remind me of the story.It is about a woman Bay who was destined to save her pack because she can see things that are yet to happen. In a very dire time, she rises to the responsibility of being Luna and becomes a bearer of peace. She saved generations of werewolves over the years through her sacrifice and well, I am nothing like her.I drop my fork on the table and pick up a napkin to clean my mouth.”Dane, I think I know the story very well.” You don’t need to start from the basics. I say to him as I carry my plates from the table and head over to the basin to wash it.“My brother believed it.” Dane says and I pause for a moment.What do you think that scar on your

I am silent when he says that in reply in the first few seconds.“And I am not your mate.” I say and he is quiet as if he is thinking of something to say too.“I’m sure you are low-key that this happened to me.” You cannot hurt me because you made a pledge to your brother but it’s not a bad idea if someone does it to me. Right? I ask but he doesn’t give me an answer.I take the towel from him and head out of the room. I need space, away from him and his stupid little pack. I don’t even know what I am doing here. My back stings and I just want to cry but I wouldn’t break down in front of the people I hate.I can hear his footstep behind me as I walk downstairs and I do not give a second thought to why he is following me until he grabs a hold of my hand. I face him and he is staring at me seriously.“You are injured.” Stay still while i tend to your wound. Dane says as he heads over to the cupboard and pulls out a first aid box.I stay still holding tears as he returns back to me and ke

It is as if he understood and that is shocking. How would he understand? He doesn’t even know me. I let go of him as we both stand at the staircase and I let go of his sleeve that I didn’t even realize I was holding.“I’m…I’m so sorry.” I say, am slipping on my sentences and still trying to hold onto false bravery. I look at him and wonder why he is quiet at the scene I have caused.I need him to say something to at least save me face it his moment where all of my walls are all coming down.“You should go back up and rest.”“I will have the pack doctor come check on you.” He says to me and his voice is lacking arrogance or anything that shows we hate each other. As if he can sense all of my distresses and puts all of our differences aside.I nod my head after he speaks; there is nothing to say because in this secondi have realized that Dane is not so horrible. I can adjust and find out what and who I really am if he is at my side. Maybe, it will somehow be a consolation of his brother

After, we get back from the trip to the mall; I get out of the jeep and head into the house without making another eye with him after what we both had spoken about. It is like he knows I am trying to escape him and at this point, I don’t even care about what he thinks because I am flagger basted at what I have just learnt.He follows me inside afterward even when I am in my room, I can hear his footstep as I drop some of the items I have bought including my new phone. I take a deep breath think about what he has said and how it falls in my ear.“Later, that day, a slight knock comes at my door and at this time I know it is Dane.” I am shocked at myself for knowing what his fist on my door sounds like. I get up from the bed and open the door.“It is him.”“The pack members are having a cook out, would you like to come?” I think it is a good opportunity to meet with them instead of staying here all day long. He says.“Sure.” I say to him and I open the door.He heads out and I follow hi

I follow Dane inside after the cookout and I cannot really express what I feel at this moment. I stand at the door and he heads over to the fridge for a drink. He looks back at me and asks.Would you like a drink? Soda or beer? He asks me.“Beer.” I respond and it is almost as if that answer shocks him as I head in to the kitchen and lean at the counter has he passes it to me.I use the counter to open the bottle of beer and we both take a good gulp and suddenly we smile and it turns to laughter after. I tune my face away wondering what this is and how we became familiar to this extent.Is it because we went grocery shopping? There is lasting silence after that but then he speaks.“You saw us.” Dane says and I pause before going in for a second gulp.Didn’t you? He says again and I have inkling to what he is thinking about but I will not accept that it affects me.“You must love her.” I say and take that second gulp that I definitely need this time and he is silent when i asked that.
