I screamed out as I shook his limp body. I didn't understand what was going on. He only left to hunt for food. I was supposed to stay in our little cottage and wait for him to return but after the sun started to set, I became worried and went out to look for him.
Then I smelt so much blood. I knew instantly who it belonged to. I remember the training my father gave me and a constant reminder that if something ever happened to him, he wanted me to run away and keep moving and not to let anyone ever catch me.
Yet I couldn't bring myself to do that. I needed my father. I fully expected my wolf to argue with me, but she just whimpered in my head and didn't say anything. When I found him, I knew immediately he was dead, his throat had been ripped open and he was covered in blood.
"Daddy, please... I still need you!"
I cried out as my heart felt as if it was being crushed. I tried listening for a heartbeat, knowing it was futile. The only thing I heard was my own erratic heartbeat and my wolf whimpering.
Leaning over his body I began to cry. Darkness fell over the forest and the feeling of dread started to creep through me. This quickly perked up my wolf and she spoke urgently into my head.
"Kyra! Get up and run! Now!"
I didn't argue, I quickly took off running back towards the cottage to grab the escape bag that my father had prepared for me. We knew it was just a matter of time before something like this would happen.
So, while I was prepared, it still wasn't any easier and we both had hoped we'd have more time. It had been fourteen years since my father, and I went rogue.
The night I had been born had been on a full moon. The circumstances of my birth were completely unheard of. While most didn't shift until their eighteenth birthday, I had shifted immediately after I had been born.
Not only that, but I had shifted into a pure white wolf. Wolves were typically brown or grey. Some were even black or mixed colors. It was unheard of to be a pure white wolf.
My parents knew immediately that it wasn't safe to stay in the Blood Moon Pack. When they tried to leave, the Alpha had tried to kill me. He claimed I was an abomination.
My mother urged my father to keep me safe and that he was the only one that could do that. He hadn't wanted to but he couldn't deny her. They both knew that in order for me to survive he had to be the one to train me.
She had stayed behind to fight them off to give us a chance to escape. She was a skilled fighter and had been the only female warrior in the pack. Yet my father had alpha blood and was the beta of the Blood Moon Pack. He was the best and the obvious choice to train me.
My father didn't believe my mother was dead because when a mate dies a part of the other dies with them and they are never whole again. My father missed her, but he says he can still feel her.
For fourteen years we've been on the run. Now, whether I was ready or not I had to go on without him. I still had my wolf with me and with her, I would never truly be alone.
The moment I reached the cottage I heard a howl in the distance. I couldn't take any chances. I quickly found the bag and stripped out of my clothes and placed them into the bag. Effortlessly I shifted into my large white wolf, Alexia. Picking up the bag with our teeth, we took off running.
"Where are we going to go, Alexia?"
I asked my wolf. Unsure of what our plan would be now that my father was no longer here to lead the way.
"I don't know. We will have to rely on our instincts and trust the Moon Goddess."
I still couldn't figure out how her trust in the Moon Goddess was absolute. I just couldn't fathom why the Moon Goddess would make me into a freak. I would never know true peace and I would forever be on the run. Never belonging anywhere.
We were not destined to find happiness or find our mate. Others would either fear us or hate us. Alexia believes that we are destined for something great, but she does agree that we will probably never get a mate.
We kept running, the sound of howling was becoming more distant. Our pace began to slow slightly so we could listen better to our surroundings and try to determine which direction we should go.
Just when we thought we were clear, a large brown wolf came barreling towards us. It struck our side and caused us to get slammed into a tree. Slightly dazed, we shook our head and quickly recovered to face the wolf that attacked us.
He was a rogue wolf. His stench was overwhelming, it smelled of old blood and rot. Most rogues become a shell of their former selves and are unhinged. They are truly disgusting and can barely retain their humanity.
Without a pack, wolves tend to become rabid. Though for some reason my father and I never had that effect. My father did smell like a rogue, but he still had his humanity. We figured it was because of his need to protect me is why he never utterly lost his true self.
As for me, well we didn't know why I didn't smell like a rogue or act like one. Perhaps it's because I truly never belonged to a pack. My scent was off though. I didn't smell like a pack wolf either.
I didn't know why this rogue wolf disgusted me so much, perhaps I had grown accustomed to my father's smell and it didn't bother me at all. This rogue on the other hand had me wanting to throw up.
Trying to ignore the stench, my wolf and I focused on the rogue as it paced in front of us. Digging our hind legs into the soil beneath us, we prepared for the rogue to lunge at us again.
He was feral and his movements were erratic. There was no telling what he was going to do. We kept our stance, letting off a warning growl to the rogue that we were not going to give in so easily.
That was enough for the rogue to lunge toward us. Using our hind legs, we pushed out towards the rogue. The look of surprise flashed across his pale brown eyes. It seemed as if a part of him realized he was no match for us. While the other part of him didn't care and only seen an enemy.
We crashed into each other with such a force that it caused the rogue to whimper. We were unfazed and quickly rolled the rogue onto its back and latched onto its neck. Without hesitating, we ripped its throat out.
Only staying long enough to make sure it was dead, we quickly gathered the bag that fell when we first encountered the rogue and darted through the forest again. This time we didn't bother to slow down.
We kept running and tried to keep out of other territories and change directions as often as possible to avoid being followed. At this point, we were unsure if we were being followed. We weren't taking any chances.
After miles of covered ground and running nonstop for seven hours, we needed to stop. We found ourselves near a cave with a stream of water running into it. This was probably going to be our best place to rest.
Doing a wide circle around the area, we didn't sense anything, and it appeared to be clear. Before entering the cave, we looked around for something to eat and only managed to find a squirrel. It wasn't much but it would do for now.
The moment we entered the cave carrying the bag and squirrel we collapsed onto the ground. That was the longest run we've ever done and regardless of how amazing our endurance and stamina were, we were exhausted.
It was slightly more painful than usual to shift back. Every muscle in my body ached. I crawled over to the stream of water in the cave and slowly eased myself in. The cool water was heavenly. I let out a slight sigh as I leaned my head against the rock I was sitting against and let the water soothe me.
As I sat there, my thoughts automatically went to my father. Without realizing it, tears flowed down my face, my chest became tight. I felt the desperate need to just give up and just let everything be over.
"Kyra... we can't give up..."
My wolf whispered to me and while I knew she was right, I felt helpless. I was tired of running. I was scared and lonely. I was only fourteen and I still had much to learn.
"What will we do Alexia?"
"I don't know yet. We just need to rest and figure it out in the morning."
Without answering I climbed out of the water and got dressed. Not caring that I was still wet, and my clothes were now soaked. I looked around the cave and decided I needed to go further back so I can stay hidden better.
I could see clearly in the dark and the cave was rather deep. After looking around a bit I realized this was a good place to stay camped out for maybe a couple of days or so. It was like a maze. It was bigger than it originally appeared.
There were a lot of holes in the wall that was just large enough that I could climb in. I was small in my human form and even I had to squeeze through the holes. It was a really good spot and if I'm careful I may be able to stay here for a while.
After going through a small tunnel, I had to crawl through I found myself in an open space within the cave with a water hole. There was only one way in and out of this area and unless someone was as small as I was, there was no way they could get in here.
I decided that I was going to stay here as long as I could, for as long as it was safe. I would look around more tomorrow. I knew it wasn't safe to stay in a place for too long, but this was probably the best place I'd find that would give me adequate protection.
It would at least give me a place to lay low for a little while. Going back outside I looked around for enough sticks to create a fire to cook the squirrel.
"I am going to have to leave you for a little bit. My energy is fading. I need to restore my strength. Will you be okay?"
My wolf's words caught me off guard and I jumped slightly. I didn't like the fact I wouldn't have her here with me for a bit, but I knew I was going to need her at her best.
I still possessed her strength and speed, in my human form. But if we were going to survive this, we both had to be at our best. I didn't like the thought of not being able to talk to her, but I knew she would always be with me.
"I understand. I will keep us safe. Take the time you need."
"That's my girl. Remember I'll be there if you need me. I'll never truly leave you. Just going to rest. Shouldn't be longer than a couple of days. Stay safe Kyra. I love you."
"I love you too Alexia. You're all I have now. I'll keep you safe."
I soon felt her move to the back of my mind, and I could no longer hear her or connect with her, but I could still sense her. After everything that has happened, I was glad to still have that at least. Yet I still felt alone.
I no longer had an appetite, but I cooked the squirrel anyways and ate it. I didn't seem to taste it much, I just knew I needed to keep my strength up. Who knows what will happen in the oncoming days.
I just hoped that whatever it is, I can get through it. Putting out the fire, I crawled over to my bag and laid down. Using the bag as a pillow I curled up on the ground, hugging my knees to my chest, I started crying again.
I cried for my dad, my mom, myself, and my wolf. I just wanted peace. I wanted to not be alone. After what seems like forever, I finally drift off to sleep, only to be plagued with the beginning of my night terrors.
Dear readers, Thank you so much for all the support you've given me the past two months since I started my journey on Goodnovel. I am happy to say that this book is complete and will be marked complete soon. I wanted to let you all know that book two of the Moon Princess trilogy will be starting the first week of October. I hope to see all of you stick around for the next two books. Here is a preview of the synopsis and of what is to come... Moon Princess and the Second Chance BOOK TWO OF THE MOON PRINCESS TRILOGY Caleb has decided to return after over one hundred and seventy-four years. After leaving Kyra and the rest of the pack. Shortly after arriving he finds that Kyra is visiting her family and then an attack causes Hunter to lose his life. Because of Kyra's father, Hunter is sent to purgatory, where he will have to do everything in his power to get free and return to Kyra. No one knows Hunter is t
Caleb-“I miss you.” I heard Kyra’s voice in my mind.I desperately wanted to respond to her, but I didn’t dare. For nearly a hundred and seventy-five years or so. I have been spiraling out of control. She has been talking to me every day and I couldn’t respond. It would just be another lie.At least when Hunter spoke to me, it was easier to live the lie. With Kyra, it tore me up. I failed her. I promised I would always be there for her, but I couldn’t. Every day was more difficult than the last, I have had to hole myself up in a small cabin in the woods.Maddox was out of control, I was out of control. I couldn’t even recognize myself anymore. I was only fifty miles from the pack. Honestly, I was surprised no one has come across this place yet. Well, except for Alec, which I had expected him to reveal my location.He keeps popping in unannounced and bugging the shit out of me. I don’t know why he wou
Kyra- It has been a hundred and seventy-four years ago since Caleb walked out of my life. Okay, so technically he didn’t just walk out, he did keep in touch as he promised, but it was rare. I haven’t seen him since he stuck his arm out of the driver's window and wave goodbye as we all stood outside to see him off. It was hard not having him around, it still is. He hasn’t spoken much since leaving. He responds sometimes. It is mostly just me just talking to him every day and telling him about my day and how Hunter and I have two beautiful children that are all grown up. He doesn’t respond, but I have just expected it out of him. If I didn’t miss him so much, I probably would have stopped reaching out to him. Something was still feeling off since the day he left. I feel like I should be remembering something, except I can’t. I don’t even know if he is hearing me anymore. It has been twenty years since he has responded. I still feel like he is listening,
Caleb-My decision to leave hadn’t been premeditated. I had no intentions of leaving, but after last night I knew I needed to. As much as I tried to ignore what Kyra and Hunter were doing all night, it had been impossible. I should have known that being next door to their room was going to be a colossal mistake.The sounds had been muffled, but I had heard them occasionally at times throughout the night. It had been brutal. Originally I had thought I could handle it. I only wanted her to be happy and Hunter was my best friend. It wasn’t that I was jealous or was mad at either of them.It was the simple fact that when I first heard them, I had gone into a rage. There had been something dark and deadly that had filled me to the point I ended up trashing my entire room. Whatever is going on inside of me, I can’t let it affect Kyra especially, but everyone else as well.Until I deal with what is going on with me, I need to try to do it alone
Kyra-To say Hunter kept his promise, was an understatement of the century. He had thoroughly loved me and my body all throughout the night. It wasn’t until well past sunrise that we finally fell asleep.Afternoon sometime is when we were woken up by Lucy, banging on the door telling us if we didn’t get up and come down for lunch she was going to come in and drag us out by our ears. Hunter hadn’t believed she would actually do it, but I made him get dress regardless.Sure enough, Lucy barged right in after an hour, thankfully I had convinced him to get dressed. She made an attempt to grab me, but I slipped out of her reach and sidestepped around her.“I am going!” I shrieked.Making it to the door, I turned around to see her reach out towards Hunter, who jumped back before she grabbed him.“You wouldn’t dare!” He admonished. “I am the Alpha.”“I don’t care if you
Hunter-As soon as I spoke the words, I watched Kyra. I was taking a back seat to everything and could only watch through my wolf’s eyes. It was a little weird, to be honest. Not weird in the sense that it bothered me, but weird that I had no control over where I was looking.I have never actually experienced it when Ace was with another wolf. I have seen other wolves though when they mated. I knew what was to be expected. They tend to become a bit vicious with their conquest. Biting and clawing while they ravaged their mates.Most she-wolves would cry and whimper when their mate took them. Though I think it was generally by force. Wolves don’t really care so much about the female wolf when mating. They get what they need and don’t care how it affects the other.I was sure Ace would be more cautious though. At least I hoped so. We both knew that Kyra has already been through so much lately and the last thing he wanted was to harm her any
Kyra-There was a need inside of me that felt like it wasn’t satisfied. Kissing Hunter, with Ace present, made me feel like this was exactly what I needed. I started feeling this way after I took my first bite of pizza. I was ravenous with hunger, except it wasn’t food I needed.Flipping Hunter over, until it was him on his back instead of me I was already wet for him and I didn’t want to waste another minute waiting for him to fill me up with what I needed from him.Not bothering with the tedious effort of taking his pants off, prolonging my claws, I ripped into the fabric of his pants. With one effortless tug, his pants were ripped off of him. At the same time, Hunter tore the dress I wore. Grabbing it at the neckline and ripping it cleanly off my body.I straddled him until I felt him hard against my sensitive clit. I pressed down on him, massaging myself over the length of his hardness.“Little One, I am not wearing a co
Hunter-My father was getting on my nerves. Not only did he start the fight with Nick, he deliberately broke the door to make a point. It took hours to get them out. If it wasn’t fortified steal I would have just broken through the door, but even wolves had their limits. After four long grueling hours I finally got everyone out.We were on our way home, walking since many were too tired to shift. I could sense my father wanted to say something, but I was praying he wouldn’t. I was already livid, if he opened his mouth I was half tempted to deck him. I had more important things going on at the time than dealing with his tantrum.Nick had said there hadn’t been a problem getting him there. The problem arose afterward. Apparently, it dawned on him that I was fighting a battle without him, once again and it ticked him off. When Nick tried to keep him from leaving, he had acted out trying to rile everyone up. While Nick was busy trying to deflate th
Caleb-“When did it start?” Zeke asked, coming to stand next to me.I looked over at him and then back at Kyra as she was laughing with her brothers. We had all gathered inside the house and were surrounded by pizza. After six months of being trapped, Kyra had developed an insatiable hunger for pizza. She had already eaten two large pizzas by herself.Currently, Kyra and her brothers were sitting in the middle of the living room, playing a card game. I was leaning against the fireplace watching them and Selene was picking at a slice of pizza, having yet to take a bite of one.Hunter was still out helping everyone return to the pack, apparently, a fight had broken out at the place he sent them. They had fried the locking mechanism, trapping them all in the building. I had offered to help him, but when he said he would take care of it, I hadn’t argued.I didn’t really want to leave Kyra’s side. I felt calm around her. Wh
