“Tell me, did mom slipped you any money?” Teresa was asking me while they waited outside the principal’s office.They were told to wait at the bench in front of the door that read ‘Mr. Frank Hoff, School principal.’

“She did.” 

“Oh, mom.” Teresa growled.

“Don’t worry. I am gonna spend it wisely. In case you missed it. There are no starbucks in this place.”

The door opened and a man almost my mom’s age stepped outside to meet us. He was tall and handsome and had no fashion sense whatsoever. The color blocking in his outfit was not giving him justice. He was reading the paper and he smiled broadly when she called my name.

“Maxine Shepard.”

“Here.” I raised my hand as if there were a number of other people there waiting.

“I know.” He said.

“You know?” 

“Don’t you just sit there and act like you do not know me. Come in, give me a hug.” The principal said in his Alabama accent.

“Excuse me, we just met....”

My mother sprung from the seat and hugged the man. I was once again, ladies and gentlemen left dumbfounded by none other than my own mother. She was obviously friends with this man and she did not, like every f*cking time does not mention anything to me.

“Max, this is Frank.”

“I read the name outside his office.”

“Sorry, Frank. My daughter has a very smart mouth.” Teresa apologetically said.

“Well, reminds me of someone I know.”

“Who?” I asked.

“Your mom. She had the smartest mouth in the pack.” Teresa nudged Frank to stop.

“What pack?’” I interrupted.

He handed me my school schedule and my school handbook instead. He then instructed one of the students to help me out in familiarizing the entire campus grounds. I was forced to leave my mother and Frank who went inside his office right after I turned my back. If I was not mistaken, my mother was mad at the principal and the principal looked scared of my mother. 

“Hello. I am Jackie. Give me your class schedule.” she did not wait for me to had them to her, the girl just grabbed it on my grasp. “Oh, nice, we are classmates on almost all classes.”

“That’s a relief. You are Maxine Shepard. Right?”

“How did you know?” I was guessing that she found out my name by the class schedule she was holding but then I realized it was a printed copy that they give all the students and there was no name on it.

“Everybody knows.” She shrugged.

“What?’’

“This is a small town, this is a small school.everybody knew everybody and you are the new girl.”

“Oh.” I was relieved.She had a point. I have an idea how small Haven is now.

“Let’s get to our second class.”

“Second?”

“Girl, its almost ten. On what planet do you suppose it’s first class this time?” Jackie said and took my arm to our second class.

The morning went by swiftly. It was science class and the teacher wanted her to introduce herself in the class since she was new. She had never done this since grade one because she stayed at one school since three days ago and now she had to do it on her eleventh grade. Jackie gave her a little pat on the shoulder.

She stood up and smiled.

“Hello. I am Maxine. Maxine Shepard and I just moved here from Manhattan last night. My mom’s mother lives here and she was very eager to send me off to school.” Her new classmates gave a little laugh at her joke.” I am into sports, track and field and I am also a part of the school paper. I hope to continue that here. That would be all.” She then took a seat.

Jackie was very happy and it bothered her that this girl was too comfy with her. It might be good, but it spooks her.

“That was really cool.” Jackie said.

“Thanks.”

Jackie was short and petite but she has a good fashion sense. Denim pencil cut skirt just below the knees and a nirvana shirt, she was also wearing Maxine’s favorite shoes. Converse. She was pretty too. And if I might say so, I just made a friend on my first day at school.Wohoo.

After science class. It was time to get lunch. I was hungry even after the heavy breakfast Grams prepared for me. I hoped that the school canteen sells something that can fill her appetite. Because right now, she can eat a whole water buffalo.

The school canteen was just like any other canteens in Manhattan. A large hallway filled with long tables and chairs and the food counter on the other end.

Jackie and I followed the queue of students to get our lunches. When it was out turn to take lunches. I was amused that it was like a buffet! No pesky canteen stuff to monitor what you take or eat and even regulate the amount of food you take by scooping it themselves to our plates.

Haven has a serious budget for food,there were different kinds of sandwiches, Fried chicken, rice , pizza and fruits and many more. They even have a sweets corner. I am loving Haven now.

“Hey. Max. You can always come back later if you are undecided. Get what you like now.” Jackie whispered.

“Why are you whispering?” I whispered back.

“Because we gotta hurry. Blake and his gang are waiting in line too.”

As I turned to see who she was talking about, I felt a familiar feeling. And then I met his gaze. Eyes so blue like the Agean sea that it almost drowned me. We sat on a vacant table and I swear to God, that guy was still staring at me.

“Who is that guy?” I asked Jackie.

“Who?”

“That one? With the red hoodie. Blue eyes and blonde.”

Jackie did not waste her time to look fr the guy I asked her about. She sat wide eyed and excited.

“Girl, that is Zayn. Zayn Randolf. He is at Blake’s team too. Why? OMG..do not tell me, on your freaking first day of school!”

“Nope. Do not even mention it.” I stopped her assumptions. “ I know a Zayn too back in Manhattan.”

“Max, there are loads of Zayn’s in the world! What are the odds?” Jackie scoffed.

“Excuse me, are you Betty Shepard’s grand daughter?”

Jackie and I turned to see who was talking to me. It was no other than Zayn! But he was over there a while ago and now he is here. Up close, he is even gorgeous and there is a strange hot feeling in my belly.

Zayn’s POV:

This Max Shepard looks nothing like the Luna like her mother was. She lacks the authority and she looks like she is not even able to carry a boulder like most females wolves can. Or does she even know what she is? I heard from my father that her mother who goes by the name of Teresa took off and left their pack leaderless. 

She is pretty but not good enough for the Randolf clan’s protection.

  • 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.

  • The New Luna   Million bucks

    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
