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

Hearing the door open and slam I quickly shut off the water as I heard Zafara singing, well yelling some new song. I climbed out and snatched a red towel off the rack and dashed to my closet in a blur of movements.

I walked down the hall and then onto the box like stairs and down to the common room. I fixed my tight shirt and put the belt on my jeans. I hopped on one foot to get my socks on my foot. I did the same for the other, but i walked into a white and tan vase, knocking it over. It shattered loudly and I shrugged my shoulders. I heard my mothers loud but soft feet comig down the stairs. I stood next to the vase as she ran and slid next to me. My mothers hair flew around her face, as she adjusted her tank top and pants. She had the body of a 20 year old, which was because, werewolves are almost immortal. Yes it takes more to kill us then a human but we aren't like vampires.

Her eyes blaze, but I could see she could see the smirk that danced on my lips. As I knew, she went on to lecture me.

"Go." She sighed. I nodded my head and went to the pantry. Grabbing the broom and dust pan, I walked back to the room and cleaned it up.

Once I was done, I waked into the room where Zafara and Raymond were. I was suddenly over whelmed by the smell of rain and chocolate. My black eyes snapped Zafara. "Tell me." I said, my voice was dark. Dangerous. "He arrived earlier." She said, her voice steady and eyes holding nothing. I liked that she didn't cower away. That was the number one reason we were friends. I nodded and turned on my heel, as the scent was getting stronger. I heard a loud crash, making me run up the stairs. On instinct I slammed the door open to one of the confrence rooms and when one of my fathers gaurds went to grab me, I lost it. I felt the adrenline rush in my veins and my eyes narrowed as I grabbed his arm and kneed him in the stomach then in his face twice as he bent. I felt arms incircle my form and I struggled harder. I slumped against the man. When the person loosened his hold, I elbowed him in the stomach. I turned and saw Mikah. I snarled at him. "Mutt. Don't touch me." I growled. His eyes golden like my mothers, only they had more yellowish color to them. He stood up, his Alpha power rolling off of him in waves, crashing into me. But I just did the same to him. He suddnely grabbed me, as if trying to make me calm down.

I grabbed the paper weight and lifted it to smash into his head. And I would have, if a blur of a man didn't slam me into the wall. I looked up at Mekeel's green eyes and grolwed. He had me by my throat. I smirked and kicked him in his knee. He dropped me harshly and I smashed my head on the cornor of the tabl near us. I felt blood run down my neck and I groaned. MY brother smirked and I just kicked the back of his knee as he got up. I layed splayed on m back as my head healed. The smell of rain was over-powering and I stood up. I seen my father shaking as my mother spoke to him. "You're mate is here." My father ground out through clenched teeth. As I heard the door down stairs open, I ran to the balcony and ripped open the white doors. Standing on the edge, I put one hand on the marble and jumped over. I landed on the floor with a thud, in a crouching postion. I shot up like a jack in the box and ran to the forest.

I heard feet running beside me and I smelled Zafara's scent. I ran faster to the pack house and dropped against a tree. "Lets go somewhere." Zafara suggested and I contemplated the thought. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I have to get out qof the territory. His scent is all over. It's suffocating me." I said with annoyance in my tone. I was struggling not to inhale deeply. Her eyes went wide before she held a mischievous look in her eyes. "As long as I call the shots for once." She said as I just squinted my eyes at her before nodding slowly. "Give me you're word." she said. If I gave her my word, I can't go back on it. I'm a person of my word. "You have my word." I stated in a firm voice. Her eyes went bright and she dragged me towards my car. I loved my car and I didn't let anyone drive it, so when she asked for the keys I merely walked to her car, airing for her. She huffed and took out her keys beeping the annoying little button the BMW came with. I plopped into the seat and waited silently until we reached the destination, trying not to freak. I was the kind of person who needs control, to be the mind with the wheels turning. I can't let someone else be in control to much or else I'll freak.

The worst it'll be is the mall.

I wanted to punch Zafara. She took me to the watering hole. It's just a huge lake with a tree that has a rope swing. And there was a party going on. Our pack had hundreds maybe even thousands of members, which sucked at times like this. Zafara squealed, taking of her tank too to reveal a dark blue bikini top and then she shrugged out of her shorts and the matching bottoms were there. "Come one." She yelled. "I don't have a bathing suit." I said flatly. She took my hand leading me too the car. Shuffling stuff around and throwing stuff over her shoulder she grabbed something before spinning around, not before hitting her head on the roof. I snorted as she swore harshly. "Here." She said a scowl etched on her face. I took the bikini top and threw it behind me. "It's the color of mustard." I said with annoyance leaking into my tone. she swiveled around slamming a football into the steering wheel abruptly making it honk loudly. As the car horn honked, the teenagers making out on the hood yelped and scooted away.

"Here it's black." She said as she placed it in my hands, running to the tree. she climbing up high on to wood that was stapled there. Standing on a branch she grabbed the dark brown rope splattered with water droplets and flung herself out into the water, splashing loudly. Cheers erupted as she sprung herself up with a million watt smile.

I huffed as I walked behind a tree. I hated this idea and I wanted so badly to leave. I put on the bathing suit and as I tied the hip I grew annoyed that it wasn't as tight as the other. "Son of a-" I was cut off as Zafara grabbed it and tied it. I smirked and snatched the shorts and shirt from her, slipping them on along with my boots. I walked out and everyone bowed there heads in respect at me I smiled as the boys and men looked at me with nothing but respect. I walked to the car andgrabed my phone, hesitating on taking my knife. I looked at it with temptation, but I willed myself to put it down. I stood straight as averyone bowed there heads, not making a move to go ack to what they had previously been doing. "Go back to what you were doing before." I said. They all rose there heads and nodded before chattering filled the watering hole and the grounds once again. I stood and observed as they behaved. If an attack happened right now they'd kill but then they can flip back into bubbly people. How? I can't do that. I can attack and even after the threat is dead, im still in a fit of rage. Which is normal. For me.

I was soon grabbed by my arm and I spun around ready to attack, my eyes narrowed into slits. My heart pulsed faster with adrenline as I sized up the person. 

Fight or flight.

His words repeated over and over until I seen who the person was. "Nick." I reathed, my heart tp eating eratically, adrenline still pumping in my veins, slowing slowly. "Whoa. Calm down Meela." Nick was Zafara's brother, I didn't see him offten. He was the next in line Beta and he was eyond protective of Zafara and there younger siblings.

"Shut up Nicky." I said with a smirk. His face went sour. My heart was normal and the adrenline was gone leaving me fine but still alert as ever. Zafara skipped over and told her brother to buzz off before she took me to the tree with the rope. "Go." She said her voice firm but excitment was clear. "No." I said just as firmly. "You gave me you're word." She said her eyes annoyed. "That's a traitors move." She said and I narrowed my eyes. "You're doing that so I do it." I stated and she nodded. I huffed as I slowly took off the shorts and shirt. Putting them along with my shoes in her arms I seen everyones eyes filled wiht shock as they watched me climb up and hold onto the rope. "Im only doing this cos' I gave you my word." I yelled and everyones face filled with understanding. I don't break my word. If I give you my wpord and you break it then you're a dead man walking. 

I held it and swung myself out and let go and held my knees. I was plunged under the water and when I came up everyone was going insane. But one person. My mate. I swam to the edge and grabbed my boots from Zafara and my clothes running with my clothes in my hand with her by my side. A growl ripped around and I pushed even faster. I dropped my clothes and kept running in a bathing suit and boots. Wow this muct be a sight. Running to the car I slammed the door open and started it as Zafara got in. I was peeling out before Zafara shut the door. Then I stopped. I slammmed on my breaks and said aloud, "I'm runnning like a little bitch." I said with annoyance at myself. I watched as he came around, his dark alurring eyes kept me in my spot. His jet black hair was perfect and he was the idol of a males beauty and perfection. As much as I wanted to say there was something unperfect about his looks, I couldn't find anything. And I wanted badly to say I didn't feel attracted to him. But I do. I;m insanely attracted to him, and it confuses me the feelings I'm feeling because I've never felt such things. because right now as he opens the door, and Zafara scampers away wit hRaymond, and makes me move over, the way his hand barely touched my arm, there was eruption. Something so strong and powerdul filed me in jolts. Shocks and tingles ran up and down my body, settling in the pit of my stomach. And the worst part. I
