Lahat ng Kabanata ng Luna Ares : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

“Wake up! Wake up!”“Isn't it too early?”I ask Athena groggily. I wonder why Athena's so preppy in the morning. Athena is my wolf. I've had her since I was sixteen. Which was weird because everyone else shifts at eighteen. Each time I try shifting in someone else's presence, I feel my bead tighten around my wrist and stop my shift.I remember my first shift. I was terrified. I thought it wasn't supposed to happen until two years. I had no one around me to help me through it. I was alone.It happened when I was taking a breather by the little pond I found. It wasn't as painful as everyone claimed it would be. I haven't mentioned it yet to anyone. Not even my adoptive parents. It's bad enough I'm taller than all other girls my age, I can't become the pack freak who shifted at sixteen.“It's our birthday! Yours but we are one so it counts as ours”I startle awake. Eyes wide. It's my birthday. Technically, it's the day Jules and Damon found me. I was about 2 months old when they found

“We've been wandering about for a few days now, Athena. Let's find a real bed to sleep in tonight”I inform Athena as I log my tired body across the sea of trees in my path. I feel my muscles turn to jelly. I'm exhausted. I haven't had real food in days or slept in a real bed.Hunt. Kill. Eat. Find a warm cave to sleep then repeat. Athena has been my only company in days. Sometimes, I talk out loud to her rather than use my mind. I haven't seen a single soul ever since I left the moonstone pack. *Snap. The sound of twigs breaking in the far distance catches my attention. My hearing has become sharper the last few days due to hunting. I moved to that location. “What's a little girl like you doing out here all alone?”The man bends at waist length to speak to the child. He's a rogue and so were his companions. I would know. I am one too“I was playing hide and go seek with my daddy”The little girl answers like the gravity of the situation hasn't dawned on her yet. She hasn't witnesse

A voice rang out behind me. I don't turn to see who before I reply. “Just because we are part animals doesn't mean we should act like one. Where are your manners?”“Coming from someone who doesn't smell like a rogue,but also doesn't belong to my pack” she sassily replies as moves to stand in front of me.“Who are you?” I asked her as she settled in front of me.“I should be asking you that. What do you want? Why is Alpha being so nice to you? What makes you special?” she asked each question and moved threateningly towards meAthena wasn't having this wolf pup challenge her. Although she felt weak, she accepted the challenge.I stared at her until she submitted. I could feel her wolf whimpering in fear at Athena's strength. Her wolf submitted soon after and Athena went back to resting.“Who are you?” It was my turn to ask now, considering she just challenged me.“N-none of your business” she huffs at me. Her wolf must have warned her with the strength of mine.“Okay. Well, unless you a

Jason turned to me and asked “Do you know him?” “No. I don't think I do.”I replied, shaking my head at Jason. I turned to the stranger “I'm sorry, who are you?”His next words shock me “It's quite alright you don't recognize me your highness. You were a baby when we got separated”“Baby? H-highness?!” I said in panic. Jason quickly moves to my side and rub my back soothingly “breathe beautiful” he whisperedI'm too far gone in my panic to focus on what he just called me.“I'm sorry for laying it all on you like that. Perhaps when you are ready. I can come find you or you can ask Alpha to send for me” Josh said bowing. To me.I figured the beads must have some important qualities and good origin story, but Royalty!. That wasn't never part of the equation.“Sure, Josh. I'll send for you when she's ready.” Jason said calmly. If this was a shock to him, he hid it well. “Do you want to sit down?” He said leading me to a chairI'm still in shock as I sit. “Let me get you something to drink

Ares PovI shower and change into my own clothes and head back downstairs. There's movement all around me. Everyone was up.I spot Josh in the living room easily. And walk towards him.“Hi” I said“Your h–” he starts to say when I immediately cover his mouth. I received looks for my strange action. I signal him with my eyes to keep it down. Before I let go of his mouth.“Where can we talk?” I asked“Alpha said we can use his office. It's soundproof and away from straying ears.” He replied. I nodded and he led the way to the office.“This is all going to sound a bit much, but I promise to explain everything in detail” he said“I want to know” I said in determination“I will start at the beginning” he said and tapped something on his own beads and a voice rang out, telling the story…The moon hung low in the dark sky, blessing us with its ethereal glow. The palace was filled with joyous noise at the celebration of the birth of the princess. The king and queen had had her for a while, b
