Blood Moon Forest : Series Book 1 by Falicity Davis (accelerated reader books TXT) 📕

"Ashton. My name's Ashton. What pack are you from?" He asked and I took that as my que. I poured the alcohol on her wounds and she hissed loudly, trying to keep her whimpers in. I smiled at her. She didn't even let out a scream as I pushed the needle through her soft, tan flesh. She was trying to show that she was strong.

"I was from The Dark Fire Pack. But Hunters came and took everything away. They killed my mother and father." She said and I stared at her. I heard about the pack be ambushed, and they weren't to far from here which seemed normal that she would end up here. Though I was curious play how old she was. She looked young but she talked very mature. Voicing question she looked at me with her big gold eyes, they were shaped doe like and the color meant she would shift soon.

"I'm 12." She said and I nodded. and she soon voiced out something else, but I didn't know to who, she was staring at the sky. "My mother was a great luna, she was so kind and caring. My father. He was so different. He would treat me like his daughter, but he would beat my mother. I would always hear her cries of agony. Her misery was soon my misery. When I tried to interfere he would look at me, his eyes would soften, still blazing black but softer, and say 'sweetie, go to your room. mother needs to be punished.' I never knew how to feel when mother started to take her anger out on me. i felt useless, she made sure of that. To everyone else we were a perfect family, they never saw the storms that brewed inside that perfect sand house. And when the Hunters came he defended her, died for her like Nobel mate and Alpha." She whispered her tears were unshed and I could sense my mates fury. I looked at him and seen he looked like he knew what she meant. He stood up trying to mask the raw fury that was etched so extravagantly into his face from her. "Maiella. No one will hurt you." He said before he stormed off into the woods. I seen that her. I had been done with her wound awhile ago and now it was lightly bleeding.

"He scares me." She whispered to me and I smiled. I nodded and told her to stay awake seeing as soon we would be gone. I lookedat her body covered in blood and sighed. "I'm going to get water to wash her off with." I walked away towards the woods. I stepped around the logs and fallen branches in a haste to get back before dark. It was nearly sunset and I wanted nothing more then to get back home.

I slipped through the forest fast and quite my feet not making a sound as they touched the forest floor. I looked at my surroundings and felt my wolf want to run free. There was so much land that was undiscovered to my wolf she wanted to explore it and mark it as hers.

She was a territorial little bitch.

I broke free from the trees and seen a bank sloped down. Going to the edge I tried to see what was down there. When I had, I wanted to screech from joy but also terror. There was dead wolves, mangled beyond belief. I felt anger surge through me at the scene and knowing someone had killed my kind. The water was stained red and I felt sympathy before I pushed it down and stomped it to nothing. Feeling something like that was weakness.

I turned in my heel and shoved the image forcefully out of my mind. I strained my ears desperately trying to hear anything. It was getting darker. I couldn't risk leavening them. Maiella was defenseless.

I let out a stream if curse words in fury as I couldn't locate a damn stream or anything. "You're not concentrating. If you were you would know that there's a crick. Or to far from here. Or you're are horrible for an Alpha wolf." I heard a silky male say. "What do you want." I sneered, my voice low and soaked horribly in venom. I turned to see my mate, Ashton, standing next to a tree. His naked chest was a distraction to me and I gee agitated that I was letting a male get me off my game. I felt even more annoyed that I couldn't stop the feelings. I had never felt this way and I couldn't let a mate make these feelings magically appear.

"Go away. O don't want a mate. It's all a lie." I hissed loudly even though he just started at me with a dead blank expression along anger rise. I walked away but he talked first. "Why." He asked though it didn't sound like a question. I stopped and swiveled around fast my face void though I'm sure my eyes that were dancing between anger and an old pain that I've lived with for a long time. "Because, love is a figment of our imagination. I don't believe on the Cinderella ending and Snow White wedding. I believe that there is no happy ending for a wolf who is so destroyed and so ruined with anger and lies only has a horrible ending. my life isn't picture perfect. for my family it may be so. They are 'in love' with there mates, but I there so naive to think such a thing real. Love is a myth. Sympathy is weakness. Guilt is a burden. And revenge and anger and hate. They will drive you mad." I said and he looked at me. "You're oh so right." He said his voice like a silky heaven making my wolf purr."And yet, oh so wrong." His voice took on a a hard edge. "You love your family and they there mat-" I cut him off with a harsh laugh. "You're not the first to try and convince me into believing in these little things. I believe they believe that there in love. That's as far as it goes." I said and then thought further. A sinister smirk played at my naturally crimson lips. "Why do care? You said you mate." I said in a taunt. I turned not waiting for him to answer.

"There is love in this world and every other thin you said is correct. Guilt is with out a doubt a burden and sympathy is a horrible weakness. But, love. That is something I never want the displeasure of enduring. My pack will always be first." He said and I laughed. "That's the way it should. You're an alpha." I said before I felt a weight on my back, an arm around my throat. I flipped the person from my body. My face was painted with a picture of fury and death was written on my hands.

They would die.

I watched as he went to get up but I put my got to his throat, and thrust my fist into his chest. He gasped his eyes widening in fear and realization of what I was doing. I smiled wildly, my long black hair coming around face. I felt my eyes dance as I squeezed his vital organ. "Good night." I whispered and ripped my hand back, the blood dripping from the heart in my hand. I watched in joy as the life drained out of his ugly dull eyes. I looked around and seen three people holding down my mate. I ran to the one and gripped her hair harshly and she yelled. "Ah ah ah, call off your men or you wind up like you're buddy over there. Heartless." I said the last word with sinister smirk on my face. I seen Ashton had snapped a wolfs neck with his hand and switched the position of the other wolf and head butted him before gripping his neck and making his talons elongate and sick into his jugular before he ripped harshly, a chunk of his throat ripped out and blood splattered on me and the girl.

I ripped her head down and kneed her in her spine. I felt my eyes go wide as I heard the loud crack. I broke her spine. I dropped her down and stepped I her back "Opps." I said as I leaned down to her ear. I flipped her and seen her tears cascade down her face. "Rouges smell like the shot under my shoe. I said and she snarled. "I'll rip your throat out, Alpha." She sneered the last word and I clicked my tongue at her in mock disappointment. "Say hellos to the devil for me." I said and positioned my hands to snap her neck. "There a I hell." She said and I grinned and sat in her to stop her from moving and struggling. "There is. believe me I've seen it." I said and with a crack she was dead. I stood up as I wiped my hands on her shirt.

"You enjoy the kill." Ashton said and I looked at him. Thinking about it I did. As horrible as it was I did. "Looks like Yu shouldn't be on that pedestal and praises as highly as you are." He said and I laughed. "What? You're funny." I said as I walked to find a stream. That's what I came out here for. "If my wolf wouldn't hate me, I would've killed you by now. You're irritating and childish. Not fit for Aloha blood. Surely not Luna materiel." He said, his eyes filled with hatred. "And what is? A whore who sleeps with all of the pack men, oh maybe an inn won't little girl who's afraid of her one shadow." I said and I turned away. "You're judgement on me is not wanted. You know nothing of my life and the things I've seen. I've seen things a wolf, human hell even a god damned vampire shouldn't fucking see. And I'm fucking 17. So shut you're fucking mouth. Just because you won some damn dominance sure as hell doesn't mean I will bow down to an Alpha who kills without mercy. Who is a monster. You rip packs apart, families. You kill anyone who breathes in you're presences wrong. You don't give a second thought of ripping out a throat or killing a child. You've killed babies children. You're the very definition of heartless evil." I said. I found myself pressed to a tree and his eyes blazing with fury and utter hatred of my existence. "You didn't seen to merciless on ending that man and women's life." he said, breathing right in my ear mailing my body rack a shiver in fear. I felt my eyes widen and I was shocked.

Fear.

I don't feel fear. I haven't in so long. It made me feel.. normal.

"I had no choice. Fight or flight. I was told fight." My eyes wild and he looked taken aback. "You just kill. Children and babies. As disgusting as the words is. There, innocent." I said the word as though it were foreign to me. he leaned in closer and said. "And I'd do it again." I knew in that money as he pushed away and walked into the darkness that my mate was with out a doubt a monster. I huffed and growled as he came back and threw a bottle
