Moonshadow by T.A Perue (world best books to read .TXT) 📕

I stood up wiping the sleep crusted guck that layed in the corners of my eyes, streching I woke up Ella, who woke up Jake and I also woke up Tristian. As, they arose their hair looked disheveled, I could only imagine how I looked. While we ran home I could hear every one thinking, it made me weary.. Tristian at the moment had been thinking about the smell of waffles eminating from the neighbor hood, Ella was thinking like me of course, contimplating wether or not we were going to die the next full moon or if we'd never left a trace in the first place. And Jake was thinking of ways to kill the half breeds or figure out how to see past their shadow, seeing as he was some what like them, but only a Shade, that didn't effect him though being only a Shade, in his mind it was better than being a lousy Shadow, half breed. I took in all their thoughts, and thought really hard about every thing that popped into their heads, then I realised that I wasn't in wolf form... I shouldn't be able to hear their thoughts!

 

"Ella, pssst." I whispered, trying to get her attention

 

Wait she's a Telo. "Ella" I thought directing my energy to her.

 

Then she turned around, wide eyed she thought. "How are you doing that... can you hear me too?"

 

I nodded too freaked out to reply...

 

"Awesome!" she said in her head loud enough to make me jump.

 

"Omg! Lu, this is like the coolest you're a Telo too! Now we can share secrets with out even having to speak!" she continued.

 

When we finally met the front door of Ella's house I could tell the waffels Tristian was thinking about were coming from inside. As we opened the door the smell of them exploded in our noses, I'm pretty sure Ella's mom knew that we hadn't hunted, knowing we had just shifted only last night, hunting wasn't on my agenda anyways, for now at least. Mrs. Evergreene invited us all to sit down at the table as she grabbed the others, they'd learned long ago how to shift freeley as they'd wished but not on a full moon, they have no control then so as anyone else they aren't aloud inside of the house. But as Ella's mom explained, there was a place in the woods where the wolves could seek shelter in the winter months away from the cold called a shift house, obviously where wolves went to shift and sleep durning the full moons. Quite honestly this came in very handy because now I know where my father and mother had gone to sleep. Finally as everyone entered the house and gathered around the table, I accidently blurted out;

 

"I'm so sorry I really am, I didn't mean too!" I said as I began to cry.

 

"What are you saying Luna, what did you do?" Avaster asked and next my father.

 

"She didn't do anything, it's all fine." Jake said

 

"We need to tell them.." Ella turned to Jake

 

Then Tristian popped up from his plate his mouth half full. "Well, last night Luna was running, and" he said as he gulped,"she ran all the way to the cliffe, and walked onto half breed territory." he said as he swallowed his food.

 

"What!" my father yelled "You went onto half breed territory! This is bad really bad. Do you know if they caught your scent Luna?" he said grabbing me by my shoulders shaking me.

 

I didn't say anything and just began to cry, I knew I'd fucked up and now my father was yelling at me, telling Avaster, Ava, and Anna to hurry up and get the pack for a pack meeting. He grabbed his stuff from Ella's house, he told Tristian and Jake, to go to their houses and get as much stuff as they could as far as supplies, he informed them we'd be going to something called the Sanctuary, a place deep in the forrest where packs met to have meetings when they felt in imminent danger, which I had a feeling that's how my father felt. He told my mother and I to go home and get supplies for our selves and he told my mother to grab as many books about our kind that she could grab while we were there. She slightly argued saying something about the Sanctuary library, he snarled and told us to go. I looked around me everyone scrambling to get supplies, I thought to my self, what had I done? Why was my life now all of the sudden affecting other's lives, I just want to be simple, normal like I was before I had became a fucking werewolf... in the day I had shifted I'd caused more panic than I've ever seen on any of these people's faces espically my fathers. I was a failure, plain and simple.

 

As we reached my house my mother got out of the truck and hurried inside, I following closely behind, when we got inside I immidately went to the kitchen to grab as much food as I could, load after load we filled the bed of my fathers truck. Rushing back inside I had to grab my blanket my grandmother had left me, it had cresents all over it, and like the necklace Ella gave me, it made me feel safe, protected a sense of comfort. Once I got that I ran out of our house leaving behind everything I'd accumliated over the past sixteen years I've called that house my home.... We left in a rush, speeding out of the driveway to our new home, I was scared, and didn't know exactly how I should take this, my actions could potentially hurt everyone I love. I was hoping that the half breeds wouldn't stand a chance against all of us, but then again I hardly knew anything about being a werewolf let alone fighting one that's undetectable. While we were driving I grabbed a book out of the bag my mother had brought them in, she set them in the cab knowing that I had so many questions, and deep down I knew most of them would go unanswered..

Chapter 7: Discovering Myself

 While I was reading, I came along a passage about the Cracken, the species that Raine was looking for when he lost his life, it said in the book that Cracken's are very powerful creatures. Most of them were only born once every century, which meant that the girl Raine was searching for would be the last for another twenty or thirty years. In the passage it also said that they don't only hold one power but all, they were Telo's, Shades, Shadows, Seekers, Benders, and Suckers. With all of those powers one could read or move objects with their minds, shade themselves from anyone they chose, bend any any element or object they choose, they can seek down anyone or anyhting no matter a shade or shadow, and then after all of that they can suck the life right out of someone, which suckers were very rare in the werewolf community. Most werewolves just had the basics, like being a Telo, Shade or Bender, Shadows tended to arise usually when the person holding that power is a half breed, but in some cases their full werewolf. Crackens how ever usually hold three powers, and some are stronger than others, Cracken are not half breed nor werewolf, of course they have the ability to shift, have distinct scence of smell, and posses their powers, their not considered either or, just Crackens. Reading on it said two werewolves could produce a Cracken, and so could a shadow person and a werewolf, but not a human and a werewolf, they just produce babies and rarely produced half breeds. hen we pulled up Tristian was standing outside, we came to a stop and he opened my door;

 

"Would you like some help?" he asked, grabbing a bag from the bed of the truck.

 

"Sure, thank you, did you already finish bringing in all of your stuff?" I replied

 

"Yeah about that..."

 

"What?" I chuckled as he rubbed his head.

 

"Well I planned to share a room with Jake, but uh, Ella beat me to it... so that means we'll be sharing one..."

 

"Oh I see, well no worries I get the big bed!" I joked walking up the steps of this beautiful house.

 

I was amazed at it's beauty, it was a huge house, more so what you'd call a mansion, the entry way was amazing, it had a black marble stair case leading to the bedrooms up stairs, a wallpaper black and grey, in the style of pasley. The doors huge and dark grey, walking up the stairs after Tristian I saw pictures lined along the walls with men and women looking of high class, their eyes so bright, but not all the same color. As we reached the hall way even more pictures of these beautiful people were alligned running all of the way to the doors at the end of the hall. There were other doors inbetween the rows of classy faces, and when we'd reached the third door to our left Tristian stopped. He grabbed my bags and opened the door for me, throwing the clothes my mother had gotten me into a closet door next to another door leading to the bathroom, I turned around only to find a single bed, a tv, a desk, and a couch. I turned to Tristian with a smile and said;

 

"Like I said I get the big bed!" I said plopping down on the king sized bed.

 

"I know Luna I've already put my stuff by the couch.." he said lowering his head.

 

"Tristian, I was joking, we won't be here long anyways, this will all soon be over, I promise."

 

His head jolted up and he said "How do you know Luna, were going up against the pack that killed my father! He was Alpha you know, he had power and those dirty half breed Shadows took him from me, and my mother!"

 

"I know Tristian, I know I'm sorry! I'm trying too figure out a plan, I just need to figure out how to get control of my Telo skills and then maybe I could be of use other than causing problems.." I started to cry, thinking of all the lives I could potentially hurt, because I stepped out of our territory.

 

"Luna, no, I'm sorry I shouldn't have snapped, I'm just scared, I'll loose my mother too, or worse you..."

 

"You won't lose her, that is a personal promise, and me don't worry about losing me, I've caused you and all of them enough worry already..."

 

"Stop Luna, your special to all of us, don't tell me I shouldn't worry."

 

"I'm special to you?" I questioned him

 

"Of course you are Luna, you understand excatly what I'm going through, and when I told you, you didn't turn me away, you believed me you didn't make
