AnnWithin ten minutes, as I'd told Jo, I reached the clearing.When she said she wanted to talk to me, her voice was tense.I wonder what she wanted to tell me. When I was waiting for Jo, I stared around the clearing, and I was flooded with memories of when we first discovered it.FlashbackSunlight poured down from the sky. The weather was warm and pleasant.Jo and I snuck out into the woods one afternoon to take our wolves for a run.Although we were cautious, we didn't want anyone to see us.When we shifted into our wolves, our white fur shimmered under the sunlight.My eyes glazed over when I saw Jenna, Jo's wolf.Her fur was pristine white, and her eyes were brilliant ocean blue.My wolf Alice and Jenna, were pretty similar in appearance, except that Alice had forest green eyes.Suddenly, our wolves began feeling a pull in a certain direction while we were
JoFlashback ContinuationIt all clicked together. Although she looked exactly as described in the books, no book could capture her alluring aura and glow.She was the one and only Moon Goddess.I couldn’t believe my eyes.Here she was, the almighty Moon Goddess. She stood right in front of me in all her glory.The shock and surprise were evident on my face.“Hello girls,” she greeted us.Her voice was as sweet as honey.“Based on the surprised looks on your faces, I believe you already know who I am.” She added.She carried herself with poise.“You are the Moon Goddess," Ann answered, "the goddess of the moon and creator of the werewolves.""That's correct, my child. I go by many names; some call me the Moon Goddess, while others call me Artemis, but you call me Selene. " She stated this with a kind smile. Her eyes had a peacefulness about them that reminded me of the moon glowing on a cold night."You must be wondering why you felt the pull here.” She observed.While looking aroun
Chapter 9: Family and Friends LiamMy house is in an uproar.After receiving a phone call from my sister stating that she would be returning home, everyone has been preparing for her "Welcome Back Home" party, which is in two days.I am really looking forward to seeing her back home too.My sister, Elena, received an acceptance letter from one of the universities she has always wanted to attend. The university is far from home, which caused Elena to live far away from us. Having completed her studies, she is returning home to us.Despite Elena being three years older than me, I still feel very protective of her. After all, she is the only sister I have.Walking into my house, which was crowded with event planners, various decorations and people who were appointed by my parents to make the “Welcome Back" party as spontaneous as possible.Near the decorations, I noticed something moving.What the hell?Nearing, I discovered Ashton, my little brot
JoIt was going to be the end of school in an hour. I was trying to persuade Ann to come with me to get Ethan and Marcel together."Do we have to do this?" Ann protested.“Yes,” I replied.Ann let out a groan."We've got to leave now!" I said."I'm exhausted! Coach made us run twenty rounds! How the heck are you not tired?" Ann cried."In contrast to you, I possess greater stamina. Now, Let's go." I said impatiently."Is it possible to do this tomorrow, or better yet, let the Goddess Aphrodite handle it?" She asked.I dragged a groaning Ann away with a "No!" on my lips.Ethan was walking in the same direction as Marcel as he emerged from the said class with his books in hand.The timing is perfect!While hiding behind a nearby wall, I pulled Ann with me, who was now quite intrigued.Marcel stepped into view as Ethan approached. Both Ann and I peeked around t
JoIn about thirty minutes, we reached the Red Dawn pack.Elena's welcome back party is today in Liam's backyard. While I wore a blue sundress, Ann wore a white sundress with yellow flowers.Today, we want to steer clear of Aiden and Liam as much as possible.While the party started a few seconds ago, Ann and I sat in the corner, oblivious to the world, bored out of our minds.In the corner, Ann and I remained surrounded by strangers as our parents mingled with the crowd.Great! That’s just the way I wanted my Sunday to be, sitting awkwardly in the corner of a party full of people I've never even met!Huffing, I rest my face on my hands.“I am so bored!” Ann complained.I sighed. "I feel you, Ann.""Let's check out the food, then we won't have to sit here awkwardly," I suggested to Ann.“Yeah, why not?” Ann shrugs.We walked around after looking at the food and a few other decorations.I have got to give it to the Andersons. It's a very well-organised party.We are drinking the delic
JoI glanced in my mirror one last time. With my hair tied in a ponytail, I wore a black pantsuit with the first two buttons undone. Before leaving my room, I straightened my suit and fixed my collar.It has been one month since Elena and Luke discovered they were mates. Their relationship has gone smoothly since then. Right now, they are taking things slow with their relationship.Luke is now the Alpha of the pack with Elena as his Luna.Daniel has assumed the position of Beta, while Jacob occupies the position of Gamma.I have no doubt that they will be great leaders.As for me, I'm celebrating my eighteenth birthday with my parents right now in Paris. Sadly, Elena and Luke were unable to join us.The fact that I am eighteen means I am old enough to find my mate.I am overwhelmed with excitement.Thousands of questions swarmed my head.Is my mate going to accept me? Is he going to like me? Is he someone I know? What if he rejects me?!Many questions will remain unanswered until
JoAn overwhelming sense of nervousness swept over me. I felt very self-conscious.After the limo pulled up in front of our building, my father turned to me and asked, "Are you ready?""Yes, just a little nervous," I answered."Don't worry, it'll be okay," my father told me while holding my hand.Just looking into his eyes brought me all the comfort I needed."Anyone who has a problem with you will have to deal with it since you're going to own this," he said, pointing at the building. “ Stand tall and stand proud. Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye and show everyone who you are.” he continued, his words full of wisdom and sincerity.That was all I needed to hear.I nodded my head affirmatively.“I know you'll make me proud," Father said with pride.My heart soared with happiness upon hearing those words.As soon as we stepped out of the car, a thousand lights flashed in our faces.To protect my eyes from the harsh flashes of their cameras, I
JoI bid a final goodbye to the City of Love as I looked out of the plane window.Despite how beautiful Paris is, nothing compares to the feeling of being at home.Home sweet home.I quickly unpack my bags and decide to take a bath.Stripping off my clothes, I throw them in the laundry basket.To make sure the water temperature is suitable for a bath, I dip my toe into the steaming tub to test the temperature. Once I am satisfied with the temperature, I fully immerse myself in the tub.I'm coated in bubbles as soon as I get into the water. I lean back in the tub and soak my body in the heated water. My aching muscles are eased, and my body is cleansed by the warmth.In all honesty, I am a huge fan of bubble baths. Playing with bubbles makes me feel like a child again.I rinse myself and drain the water as soon as the water turns cold.Drying myself, I glanced at the clock on my bedroom wall, which read six.The party starts at seven, one more hour to go.Our school occasionally hosts
