Alpha's Blind Luna

Chapter 1

The forest was a different kind of silence. It was a silence that didn’t envelope you, didn’t make you lonely. It made you feel apart of it, it beckoned you to become part of it. The wind through the trees and grass, the birds making their calls, the bugs alerting each other of their presence. It was a place where you could just breathe in the fresh air. As a werewolf, the forest meant so much to us. It was a freedom and peace that we reveled in. Being in the trees, being with nature was just a nature state of being.

“Auri!”

I took another deep breath. It was a safe place, a place where there wasn’t anyone bothering you, where you could just be safe in its….

“AURI!”

I sighed. “Yes, Maddie, I’m here.” I didn’t know how long I had been missing from the house but apparently it was long enough for my half-sister to come home from school and try looking for me.

“Mom’s already home and she is pissed. You didn’t set anything out for dinner tonight.”

Madison or Maddie as she preferred to be called was four years younger just turning fifteen. Though she could be mistaken for my age with the amount of makeup and short shorts she wore. She was the girly princess that you would expect the most popular girl in school would be. Her energy and bouncing positivity could be nauseating at times. But, even with our parents, she turned out okay. Spoiled, but nothing that would make you worry for her mate in the future.

I turned 19 a few months ago and I was proof of the love my father had for my mother. They were not fated mates, but chosen. That was, until Melissa came into the picture. Melissa was my fathers fated mate and it ended up being awkward few years. That was until my mother died in a hunter attack when I was four. We, my mother and I, had been captured and tortured by the hunters. My pack found me days later, wandering in the forest. I was left scarred permeantly. My mothers body was found days later.

Almost immediately, a pregnant Melissa and Tyler, my two year old half-brother, moved into our home. That’s when it started. I, being the reminder of my dad’s “indiscretion” as Melissa called it, was shown just how unwanted I really was in the family. They never failed to remind me of how I was broken and undesirable and that would never amount to anything. That even if I had a mate out there, they would reject someone broken like me. Whether that be a verbal reminder or physical reminder.

“I left the casserole in the oven to just be turned on and the salad is in the fridge. There is also ice cream sandwiches in the freezer in case anyone wanted them.” I kept my voice down not to let it carry too far into the forest.

“Oh. Well, she’s pissed. Might wanna explain before she tells Dad.” I could hear the sad smile in her voice.

I nodded and got up off the tree roots I had been sitting in between. Maddie’s footsteps were hard against the ground and I head her almost trip a couple times. One of the times I reached out to grab her.

“HOW do you do it?” She huffed at me and I chuckled.
