I tapped my foot to the beat of follow me by uncle Kracker as it played from the phone on my stomach. I could see the sun glowing through my eye lids and feel it heating up my already feverish skin. The song ended and I slapped the phone shut glancing at the sleek black cover I realized I was going to be late. Shoving it in my pocket and jumping off the roof of my house I landed on the browned grass and walked off to meet up with my pack. Josh is going to give me hell for being late if I don’t hurry up, I thought. As soon as I turned the corner of the single story white house I ran into my step sister Allison.
“Watch where you’re going coal fire.” She said to me in a snobby tone.
I frowned at her and felt the urge to punch her for using that god forsaken nickname she gave me. She felt the need to give me the so called “perfect” nickname when she hugged me ten years ago for my arrived at the Duval foster house. I muttered a sorry and rushed past her careful not to touch her at all. Allision Duval is what you call a spoiled stuck up bitch from a no where town. She thought she was all that just because she had flawless skin, nice curves, and silky blonde hair. The fact that she is the only one the hottie quarter back from school would date didn’t help her ego one bit.
It didn’t take me long to walk the two blocks down to the back alley of Carson’s general store. If you were a normal person walking down the streets of Hagerville you’d think we were a bunch of street kids up to no good. But that was far from the truth. I scratched at the tattoo on my wrist as I got closer to the group of kids. I glanced down at the tattoo I had since I could remember, not that I remembered anything before I was seven when I went into an orphanage. But I was glad it was at least a cool tattoo of a Celtic sun and moon. I dropped my hands to the side looking away from Josh’s glare; I was five minutes late because I stood glaring at Allison earlier.
“The meeting was for five sharp not five o’five.”
His voice was cutting and he wasn’t being fair using his edge over me to push home his anger. I shivered in my skin but stood my ground and looked him in the eye. They were a fierce dark blue almost black color making him look scarier then I knew he was. I knew the other pack members were watching us but I didn’t care, everyone knew I was the outcast thrown into a human world with no knowledge of who I was or where I came from. Just that I have this tattoo and I’m a werewolf. I glared at him defying his obvious want of me to apologize.
“Allison was being her usual self, give me a break you know she bugs the hell out of me.”
I didn’t use an angry tone but he flinched back like I had. He looked away from me and I saw his lips move before he turned away. The words strangely came to me after he had returned to the others.
“Let’s talk alone later, sorry.”

There was a sharp knock at my door then a squeak as it was pushed opened gently. A familiar face poked in and smiled at me.
“Can I come in?” Skylar asked.
“Sure,” I said. Skylar is the youngest one in the coven and she seems to enjoy it. She was spoiled to the core. She always gets what she wants.
“What’s wrong? You are usually up and about by now,” she said looking out my window. The sky was clear. No moon, no stars.
“I always feel down when the moon is not out,” I said shrugging.
“You are being ridiculous,” she said.
“Maybe,” I said. I sat up in the chair I was sitting in, hoping this depressed feeling will go away.
“Maybe a hunt will help you feel better,” she said. She held her hand out for me to take but I just looked at it.
“I’m just not up for it,” I told her. She looked at me for half a second and grinned wickedly at me.
“You either go voluntarily or you go by force,” she said. She flashed her fangs at me. I gave her a weak mockery of my smile.
“I’m not going,” I said.
“Is that your final answer?” she asked.
“Yes,” I said.
“By force it is,” she said. She launched her small body at me but fell into the empty chair because I was now standing behind her. She turned to face me with a playful smile at her lips. I answered it with my own devilish smile. A little growl rumbled up in her chest and I hissed playfully in response. She launched at me again but this time I grabbed her and slammed her hard on the ground. She kicked me over her head and I landed on my feet in the chair.
“I taught you better than this,” I teased. She crouched down in front of me.
“I’m just getting warmed up,” she said. She leaped off the floor and I swung my leg, kicking her to the floor. She quickly rose to her feet and prepared to attack again.
“Ready to quit?” I asked her.
“Nope,” she answered. I sighed heavily and put a hand on my hip.
“Well if we are going to do this, then let’s make this interesting,” I said. I jumped off the chair and out the window. Skylar was behind me and she was grabbing at my legs. I began kicking at her and I listened as she laughed when I caught her jaw.
“Ready to end this?” she yelled over the loud wind in our ears. I growled and grabbed at her throat. We began twirling and wrestling as we fell. When we where ten feet from the ground, we kicked each other’s leg hard enough to make a flip backwards to land on our feet.
“I call a quits,” she said.
“Thank you,” I said. I turned around and walked away. I move to the side just in time to see her fall where I was standing.
“You’re getting better,” I said, lending her a hand.
“What can I say? I have an awesome teacher,” she said, grabbing my hand and pulling herself up. She wiped the sleeves of her long sleeve shirt.
“You still don’t want to go with us?” she said.
“I’ll go but only because you’re doing so well with your training,” I told her. She smiled and threw her arms around me.
“Thanks Nyx,” she said. She ran into the night leaving tree leaves in her wake.
“Was the window really necessary?” A voice asked from behind me. I smiled and looked behind me. Blake was standing behind me with a white rose in his hand.
“It is a good challenge. She seemed to have enjoyed herself,” I said.
“Well, we have a hunt to prepare for,” he said wrapping an arm around my waist. He bent down to kiss my forehead. He grabbed my wrist and touched the Celtic moon and sun tattoo. “I am still curious on how you got this.”
“It’s been there for as long as I can remember and I only can remember up to the day I was placed in that stupid orphanage when I was seven,” I said bitterly.
“You never did tell me why you left,” he said pulling me forward.
“Too many rules to follow. I could stay there,” I sighed. He chuckled and threw his head back.
“You never were good with rules,” he said. We walked into an opening to the woods behind Lunaville, the town I spent most of my immortal life living in. We met up with the rest of the coven who was laughing at each other and leaning against the trees. I cleared my throat and immediately got every ones attention.
“Do we know the rules?” I asked, loud enough for everyone to hear. A lot of people answered yes and nodded their heads.
“Ok then. Have fun and be careful,” I said. They were gone before I finished and it was just me and Blake. I laughed at how fast they ran off.
“For someone who doesn’t care much for rules, you know how to enforce them.”
“I have to keep my coven safe,” I said smiling up at him.


Lux 2
The pack followed Josh out of the alley and to the forest at the end of Hagerville. I brought up the rear messing with my cell phone till it was time. My phone buzzed and I opened the text to find it was Josh texting me from inside his jacket pocket. I looked up momentarily to see him with his hands in his pockets looking ahead leading like he was doing nothing at all.

From Josh boy 7:30 p.m.

I’m sorry about before. I know you and Allison don’t get along but it’s a full moon. Even I can’t let it slip on nights like this. Unless we want the pack to find out?
I groaned internally. Then I texted back a fast reply.

To Josh boy 7:34 p.m.
NO! You said it yourself they won’t follow an alpha with a stray as a mate. I’ll be fine and try to be on time on full moons. I’m sorry, love you <3


My phone buzzed before I even had a chance to shut it. I opened Josh’s reply.
From Josh boy 7:32 p.m.
You know I don’t care who follows me or not. I love you and that’s all that matters. Were here, meet me at the spot?


I smiled at my phone sending a quick ‘always’ before the pack saw my silly grin I slapped it shut and shoved it in my back pocket as we entered the edge of the forest. The pack consisted of five other guys and two other girls. They all looked rough like a gang in its hay day but that was because of the werewolf DNA. It had a tendency to make eye colors darker and people more irritable looking, their tempers are affected too. I walked through the underbrush letting my fingers glide over the foliage till I found the pack forming a semi circle. The one drawback to being a werewolf, forced change on full moons, otherwise we can transform whenever we want. I hid behind a tree pulling out my cell phone and tying it to my calf. The cool part about being a werewolf, your clothes just disappear so no worries about awkward nakedness later, unfortunately that meant my cell phone went with them.
As soon as I finished fixing my phone I felt
