Christina POV

“What the fuck. What the fuck! What the actual fuck!” I kept repeating it like a mantra. I don’t know whether I should be more confused at what I just saw or at the fact that the werewolf who just killed the two men is staring at me and for some reason, I’m not afraid of him hurting me. Hell, I'm more afraid of the fact that he stopped looking at me and started looking behind me.

I felt someone’s breath on my neck and I already knew that I was about to die but just before I started to pray to god and embrace death, a knife flew swiftly past my ear and right into whoever the hell was behind me. I felt a warm liquid drip down my shoulder and I slowly looked back and saw another man in black. His eyeball was struck With the knife and it’s bleeding profusely. The man started to scream and I immediately looked back at the direction that the knife came from.

There’s a lady in black but different from the men and her face is open, unlike the men whose faces were conveyed in masks. She was breathing heavily and started saying something but I couldn't hear her because my mind was in a jumbled mess. She’s sitting by the window, she probably had to climb up a tree or ladder to get there but I have a feeling it’s the former.

I looked back at the werewolf and saw him looking at the lady by the window. His body started cracking again and his hair started to shrink back. I blinked again and my father was staring at me butt naked.

I don’t know whether it’s my dead mother on the floor or my dad's penis dangling in front of me that brought me back to life but it’s enough to make me understand what the lady by the window is saying.

“We have to go now!” She yells before her eyes land on my dad and his dangling penis. He quickly grabs clothes from the closet and puts them on.

“Peter?” The lady by the window says. How does she know my dad? “Melissa?” He asks after putting on his shirt.

I ignored them and whatever they said to each other and ran to my dead mother. I didn't even realize that I had been crying this whole time till I placed her limp hands on my cheek.

Dad walks towards me from behind and tries to touch me but I flinch so he sighs.

“I’m so sorry that you had to find out about me like this but we seriously need to go.” He says as calmly as he can but I can still hear how shaky his voice is. He loved his wife as much as I loved her.

“The police are on their way, why should we follow that other woman? If she wants to help she should wait with us.” I said even though I’m grateful that she saved my life.

I start to hear the police sirens.

“The police will ask too many questions... questions we cannot answer. If you're worried about who you can trust then the answer is easy, you can always trust me. You know me.”

“Do I? You just became the same beast from Twilight and I’m supposed to trust you!?” I snort. “You will come with me now Christina or so help me god-” The lady my dad called Melissa says. My dad places a hand up to let her know that it’s enough.

“It’s not safe for us to stay here anymore.. what we’re up against...they're not humans..uh...they’re a lot worse. I can’t protect you if we stay here and anyone else that knows you will be in danger if they find out they are connected to you in some way so it’s better to let her go and leave.” He says.

I sighed and reluctantly stood up and followed them. I don’t understand what the hell is going on but I do know that Whatever the hell is going on is more than a robbery or an assassination because who the hell does such a thing in broad daylight? On the morning of a school day.

We ran as fast as we could downstairs till we made it outside.

“The car is at the back of the house.” She says and leads the way.

I have so much on my mind that when we reach the car I don’t even look at it enough to know what type of car it is. I just got in and wonder how confused Elsa will be when she doesn’t find me there. I looked up and saw another lady in the driver's seat.

“Took you long enough.” She says to Melissa.

“Oh please,” Melissa responds.

“Dad.. we’re going to come back right?” I ask sheepishly. “No, my love. We’re never coming back.” He sighs.

“Long time no see Peter. Or should I say beta, Peter?” The lady in the driver's seat says and smirks.

“I’m rogue now, please don’t,” Dad says and looks behind us as if he’s expecting someone to be following us.

I looked at the lady again and we took off. She notices me staring through the rearview mirror and winks at me like something’s funny. What the hell is a beta and what does he mean by he's a rogue now?

“My mother is dead,” I said to let her know that there was nothing to joke about.

“Don’t worry she’s not your real mother.” The lady says.

“Becca!” Dad yells and Melissa laughs.

I decided to ignore her statement. My brain is presently overloaded with too many questions. “And who are you two?” I ask, raising a brow.

“We’re your sisters,” Melissa says while staring at the side mirror.

“Well.. half-sisters,” Becca says and winks at me again.

She’s annoying but what she says has my eyes widening. I’m an only child... there’s just no way that’s possible. I’m about to say something but I don’t get the chance to because our car gets hit from behind. I turned around and saw a bunch of cars following us.

“Well, shit,” Melissa says.

“It’s going to be fine Christina,” Dad says and holds my hand.

“Who are those people and why do they want to kill you? And why did they kill Mom!” I yell while Becca increases the speed of the car.

“You got it all wrong Christina,” Becca says.

“They're trying to kill you. Not peter.”

Melissa says before bringing out a gun and rolling down her window. She leans her head out of the window and starts to shoot. I was terrified by the sound of the gun but acted like this wasn’t the first time I'd seen a gun.

“Why the hell would they want to kill me? I’m just a high school student!”

“It’s kinda a long story,” Becca says.

“A story for another day!” Dad yells just as another car hits us from the back again.

Melissa shoots the car's tires and they slow down behind us. The cars behind us are now down to four, wonderful.

We entered the major road and Becca increased the speed of the car. The cars behind us seemed to be getting closer and I held my breath till another car hit us.

“We’re going to die!” I cried, squeezing my eyes shut.

“Just hold on!” Becca shouts.

I opened my eyes and caught a glimpse of her making a sharp turn but my soul was about to leave my body because there was a truck right in front of us. It starts to blow its horn when it notices we’re entering its lane to make the turn, instead of waiting for it to pass first. I don’t know how but we managed to make the turn before the truck crashed into us unfortunately the four other cars connected with the truck but a few of them managed to escape the crash since the truck is very long it restricts the other cars movements meaning they can no longer see us.

“We did it!” Melissa yells and claps. “Where the hell are we going?” I ask. “You’ll see,” Becca says.

    Christina's povMelissa added the last silver hairpin to my elegant bun and took a step back, admiring her work. "Well, look at you. Some months ago, you were stomping around refusing to be a Luna, and now you're glowing with confidence."I laughed with them. The funny part was that they were right. Suddenly, I felt so sure of whatever I wanted to do and the way forward for me. I felt so sure when I said yes to Marcel a week ago.I stood in front of the mirror while smiling as I turned to observe my reflection. The formal robes felt soft against my body while the silver clasp kept the gown in place.The dress was marvelous itself—drab white shot through with silver embroidery in lacy moon patterns down the bodice and sleeves. It cinched at my waist before cascading away in airy, weightless folds. And to crown it all, a silver circle rested on my head.I looked divine. I would never know how Marcel managed to have this dress custom-made for me within a week, but I was grateful for it.

  • Becoming The Luna   Chapter 0087

    Author's povJust as the words left Pierce's mouth, a sharp pain erupted in Becca's throat. The chains around her hands tightened so much that she had to scream. Her feet hung inches above the floor, and she had never felt so powerless.On the other side, Melissa was not doing any better. Pierce curled her fingers by her side between them as though she were holding on to an unseen rope. Something about her younger sister being tortured just like she was—by their mother, no less—made Becca snap. She ignored the intense pain and cried out, "Mother, stop!"To think that this was the person they refused to give up on, the person she went through the risk of bargaining with the alpha just to reach. How naive she was.Christina found herself screaming at the pain in her expression. "What are you doing? Stop it!"Pierce only smiled, not bothering to listen to her daughter's words. "Do you think you could betray me and walk away unharmed? You chose her over me, you both, and your father. Don

  • Becoming The Luna   Chapter 0086

    Marcel's povThe air in the patio was thick with tension, as I stared at each of the four elders sitting around the table. They met my gaze expectantly, even though I figured they already knew the reason I had called for the meeting.A day ago, I let Becca and Melissa leave with Isaac, not because he wanted to take his mate away, but because they have a greater purpose to serve, speaking with Pierce.They had until today to give me an update and change the course that I knew this meeting would inevitably reach, and yet they were silent.All I got to indicate their existence was a call from Becca to tell me that they had arrived at their destination. And since then, there has been nothing. I didn't like that. If they brought bad news that their mother refused to listen to reason, I would appreciate it better.I wasn't one to go back on my words. The ultimatum had reached its end, and the council meeting would hold, and so would the war. In my head, this meeting was basically to draw as

  • Becoming The Luna   Chapter 0085

    Christina's povAll I noticed initially was the heat of the flames around me. The colors surrounding me were not blue but aggressive orange and they pervaded the entire space. Multiple screams pierced the environment similar to tones while I held my head with my hands to block the noises from entering.A heavy odor of burning fur combined with blood filled the air while the sky turned strangely into a sickly red hue. Ranges of wolves escaped in all directions while their struggling bodies produced the sounds of wounded howling. I stood in the middle of a battlefield. I sensed a presence then I turned to my side and saw a radiant figure. The figure appeared completely unfamiliar without any recognizable characteristics because its flowing garments obstructed my sight. I only understood that the figure shined silver yet this surprised me."Christina," a soft voice whispered. I turned around in a full circle, but there was no one else around me.No one but this glowing person. When I r

  • Becoming The Luna   Chapter 0084

    Christina's povMy breathing became uneven while my heart raced but the feelings had nothing to do with fear or anger. I was completely unfamiliar with the source of my sudden nervous state.I sat up, unable to sleep. For the last few minutes I had been tossing on my bed while trying to relax my mind but every attempt resulted in more tension swirling through my thoughts. What was going on?Perhaps I was worried because of Marcel. He had brushed me off when I tried to stop him from leaving. Maybe that was good since I had no idea what I was going to say to him anyway, but it hurt nonetheless.I erased some of the cold sweat from my forehead. It was extremely strange that I was sweating despite the coolness in the air. This was much more than a misunderstanding with Marcel. Something was off.Unable to bear it anymore, I pushed off my bed and rushed towards the window. Both of my sisters were still fast asleep, so I was not interrupted. When I opened the windows a thick black cloud fro

    Marcel's povWithout an answer, I carefully turned my body to look at her. At that moment Christina stood with her lips slightly open as she panted irregularly. During that moment the forceful wind simply vanished but the surrounding environment remained entirely unrestful.I asked her a simple question. Since she was so hell-bent on convincing me before I even talked with Isaac, answering shouldn't be hard.But her hesitation told me everything. Christina refused to let them depart from her side. The fiery defiance showed her unwillingness to accept their leaving.I scoffed, unable to believe what was going on right now. She accused me of being heartless, of keeping them here against their will, and yet she couldn't even find the strength to do the opposite. How hypocritical of her.I turned away, deciding that I would not repeat her mistake and say something I would regret. It would be better if I just left. Just as I started to walk away, I felt her hand brush my wrist slightly, bu
