All Chapters of Moonchild; The Rise Of the Lycans: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Prologue Long ago, the Werewolves and the Lycans lived in harmony. While the Lycans were stronger, faster, and wild, the werewolves were weaker and well-groomed. They were alike in many respects and had the spirit of the wolf, which the Moon goddess, their guardian deity, bestowed upon them. They each dwelled in their lands, side by side, and the Lycans flourished greatly, multiplying and growing in their numbers. Until their lands could no longer contain them, and some started to settle among the werewolves, in the clan closest to their boundary, known as the Red Moon Pack.

As much as this was a school event, it was also a very important ceremony for our pack.I knew my mother would not be here. What time did she have to spare from working two jobs and taking care of my half-siblings?I stood at the edge of the entrance, too shy to go in."Nivia?"I turned around to see Mateo standing behind me with a shocked expression on his face."My goodness, what are you wearing?" He asked his eyes traveling up and down my body.Feeling awkward, I pulled at the hem of my dress. "Is it bad?"I saw him shake his head, regaining his
