Max’s POV

“ I do not know why we had to move now, Teresa.”

Max complained. They were driving on the free way en route to a little town in Alabama.They were followed by the two massive truck containers carrying all their stuff from their previous home in Manhattan.Truth be told, Max misses the bustling city life she grew up on.

“You know what, I would really appreciate it if you call me Mom, I am still your mother.”

They lived in Manhattan for all her life. She had friends there,a budding romance with her long time crush Zayn, and she and her girl friends were almost sure that he would ask her out pretty soon. That won’t happen now because her brilliant mother decided to pack up their things, shove it into two huge, green containers and have the audacity to tell her that they have to move in a little town called Haven ASAP. When Teresa meant ASAP, she meant the day after tomorrow.

“Yeah, not happening, Teresa. After my birthday maybe, when you give me what I want, the new PSP, remember? I might call you mom again. But , look at this, you are dragging me to a hellhole. So that is a no,Teresa.”

Her name is Maxine Shepard.

In three weeks, she will turn eighteen and she had plans. She’s a senior now. College is near. The world is her oyster now.

They are to remain plans for now because her mother had this weird habit of altering her plans in life. Teresa is a solo parent. Her father? She never had one and her mom refuses to share any information about him. Max never understood why. Her mom was secretive. She never actually shared anything of importance to her except for giving her instructions on how to live her life. She had no relatives and no siblings and no idea of who she was, except that she was Max and she despised her mother.

They were now passing by an almost endless rolling field of whey and corn. In her mind, she knew that the place they were about to live would be just like this. She might just end up being a scarecrow.

“I am sorry about this.Max, I understand that you are upset, but someday, you will understand why I have to do this.”

Teresa said not even looking at her, but Max was sure she saw a tear rolled down from her eye.That was weird, she never saw her mom cry. Not even once. No matter how hard things were.

“How? You do not know how hard it is to start all over again!”

That was not true. Teresa,perfectly know and understand how she feels. She had first hand information on how hard it is. Having to start all over again when you had your life planned for you. She was once in Max’s position and it was not easy. Starting all over again was not easy.

They did not spoke after Max’s lashing out. It was almost dark when they arrived at Haven, Alabama. A quaint little town ,basically in the middle of no where. It did not look bad at all but it was a far cry from Manhattan. She even researched Haven while they were traveling. Haven’s population is less than five thousand and it it’s known as Alabama’s primary timber supplier. No caps there because the place indeed is covered by birch,cypress or oak trees that are possibly older than she and Teresa’s age combined.

The whole place had a simpleton life vibe.As they passed by the town square, Max did see some shops and stores that they also have in Manhattan although not as big and glamorous. They had coffee shops and strip malls. Max took a mental note on where these vital establishments are in case Teresa lets her wander alone in this place. The houses thy passed by as they entered the sub urbs were nice and well, cute. The people of Haven had a serious beautification game. Her mother finally pulled over in a lovely bungalow house with a willow tree on the side and a shed not far away.

There were flower pots on the patio and the garden seemed well maintained. The house looked like it was kept in good condition. There were also lights and Max doubt if this is where they will live because it looks like it is pretty occupied by someone. Maybe a friend of Teresa, but she never mentioned of any family member. Let alone meet them here.Sure, Teresa makes a lot of mistakes and pulling over this house might just be another one to add to the long list.

“Get out of the car.” Her mother unbuckled her seat belt and yelled at the truck drivers and the men to unload our stuff. So, this is where we will live. But there is someone in that house.

“Teresa?’’

“Hey, Ben! Those stuff at the second truck you can unload at the shed beside the willow tree. The rest are to be unloaded inside.”

“M’kay Mrs. Shepard!” Ben yelled back too and went back to work of unloading stuff.

I was still on my seat, belts not yet unbuckled. She was about to get out of the car when she noticed that I haven’t followed any of her orders.Teresa gets grumpy whenever I do not do as told and now, I want her to be grumpy than to live with someone I do not know.

“Max.”

“I am not going anywhere until you and I have cleared some things.”

Teresa took a deep breath and will soon lose her temper.” Okay, what is it?”

“Look, you dragged me here. I was living okay in our place. Alone. Okay?” Teresa’s reaction was not good when she heard her say the word ‘alone’. “Okay, I was not alone, that part was uncalled for, you were with me but you were at work and I was alone. That was half true.”

“What exactly is the problem , Max?”

“This. This whole thing. I was okay there. But when you said we are moving I did not not object knowing that my objections are futile.When you decide on stuff, I just get dragged along and act as if it is okay with me too. But, look, you are making me live with someone I do not know, so not fair!” Max’s frustration was off the charts. She normally would just go with the flow.

“She is not a stranger Max.”Teresa spoke softly.

“So it’s a she. And I was right.”

The front door opened and an old lady who might just look like her mother,except that she is old and was wearing old people clothes and her hair was in a bun and silver, she was also wearing an apron.

“Are you coming in?”

Max turned at her mother after she tore her eyes at the woman at the front door.

"Who the f*ck is she?”

“She is your grandmother.”

The English is odd.  your description of Alabama is fairly inaccurate.  it’s usually a good idea to know more about the area you’re writing about.

  • The New Luna    EPILOGUE

    Funny how I look back and look at myself in the mirror now. I did not want to go here. I even considered leaving my mom in the car that day. I am just glad that I did not do that. Because if I did, I have never known how much my parents loved me that they had to do selfless acts of love to keep me.Now, my standard with love is high. If you can’t be loyal to me like my mother or if you cannot lay down your life for the people you hold close to your heart--that is not love. Nit even fucking close.My father was now back in our life. He was no longer disheveled and he had gained weight because my grandmother never stopped cooking for him. Every day, Betty Shepard never fails to get up in the morning to bake or hunt for game so Clayton will get better. I honestly think that we all gained weight too. No one can resist my grandmother’s cooking. It will take sheer will power and on hell of determination to do so. He looks way,way better now. He looks like the man in the portrait in the vill

  • The New Luna   finale

    Max’s POVI had one hell of a day. I was sore, but nothing that the sweet Minerva Jones cannot fix. She whipped me up something from her little portable drawer like bag of potions and dropped a few of it’s yellow content in my tea. She reminded me of professor Snape from my favorite sequel, Harry Potter. The only difference was, miss Minerva was a happy soul. Snape was grumpy. After consuming it, I instantly felt better and my bruises and small scrapes vanished almost instantly. It did not taste good, but most medicines do not. And that us a fact. My mother left me with her care because she had to make sure that I will be given a lot of nourishment for dinner tonight. I am well aware that the kitchen will be very busy tonight with the turn up of guests and the number of men in the infirmary. They will all be needing nourishing as much as I do. Knowingmy mother, she will personally see to it that I will be served first. Teresa , unfortunately, how magnificent her battle strategy and

  • The New Luna   Clayton's plan

    The heavy iron door creaked open. I did not expect any visitors today. It was my half brother together with Vlad, the leader of the Rogues. To what I owe the pleasure of an unprecedented visit, I did nit fully understand. And just when I thought that my little hell could not fit any more evil creature, a tiny woman slithered in. I do not recognize her, but seeing that she was clinging into Vlad’s arm like a viper, my instincts tell me that she was with them, not forced or coerced. The child was no more older than my Max. This girl should not even be here. “This place stinks, oh, is this who I think he is?” The girl sounded giddy and very young. “Yes, Hesther.The famed Constantine Clayton Black.” Vlad confirmed. So, her name is Hester. This was the first time that Vlad allowed my cell to be opened and for other ‘guests’ inside. He would normally have me dragged outside whenever he fancies beating me up. But , over the years , they also had developed a way with me. They would starv

  • The New Luna   Fenrir's end of the bargain

    I hear a woman's voice. I know that voice. “Max.”"Max." I woke up. Somehow, I do not remember signing up for a nature trip. Everything that I see was either green or colorful. Or colorful flowers that I have never seen. I even saw some that were impossibe to grow in a climate like Alabama. This is a wonderful garden. I do not recall the villa to have this garden. If it had a garden as beuatuful as this one, I am sure that Elsa could have at least mentioned its existence to me. It had beautiful gardens and landscapes but it was nothing compared to this. All that is missing is good book and a hammock. Ah. My flesh seemed so light and free. Damn, I was wearing a tunic. It was soft, flowing and it smelled really great. Hang on, I just remembered that I was in a battle and I made Hera work with me. My stomach felt like I had lead in it and my throat was parched.“Am I ---”“Dead?”Pinch me, I just saw Hera. I know it was her even if I did not, even once saw her in her human form. She

  • The New Luna   Maxine Shepard Black

    Through a number of arms and legs that try to attack me, I could still see Zayn behind me. He was an excellent fighter having been training since he ad first learned to walk, but he was not a hybrid like me. My stamina is worth a hundred fold than any of these men who were attacking me. I tried to block some and pushed many. As much as possible, I did not want to hurt them as they were just obeying orders from the alpha’s and were clearly motivated by the price on my head.“Zayn?! You good?” I screamed at him while giving a massive bloke an uppercut to stop him from trying to hug me from behind.“Yeah! You?” I saw his bruises and cuts. And one attacker had transformed into a wolf and cut his arm with his claws. That was the fucking it for me. I transformed into my wolf and attacked everyone near Zayn. He was bleeding profusely. I howled and asked them to stop, but they kept going. They leave me with no choice. I am not going to let them lay another finger or paw on my mate.“Hera.

    Zayn’s POV“I wanted everything that you have. Everything.”These were my youngest sister’s words and it kept on circling and reverberating on my head long after they were gone. My sister grew up to a wonderful family where she was adored, loved and given all the comforts of life. She almost always gets what he want. My father did not have the heart to stop her whenever she demanded anything from him. Had our mother be still alive, maybe she won’t end up like this. Mothers dicipline better and those with mothers like Max grow up to be better persons. I miss my mother. “She said she wanted everything.” I know that Max was behind me. Since we have accepted each other to be mates, I can feel her presence even from afar. “This is hard for you. I do not really like your sister, but she is still your sister. We will get her back, okay? I think she is not in this on her own accord. It is not too late.”"Yeah." I agreed. " She is not a fan of yours either. I guess she really wanted the spot
