The Crescent Moon SheWolf

Chapter 1

Willow Mason was the 10-year-old daughter of the Current Beta Brad Mason and his wife, Tammy Mason.

Willow was a bright, happy girl with loads of friends. Her violet eyes made her stand out from the rest of the kids.

Like always, Willow was with her best friends Ally, Kristen, Kyle, and the future Alpha, Lucas Carter. The kids were the best of friends, always laughing together and playing. Kristen had a huge crush on Lucas, but Lucas only had eyes for the blonde hair-violet-eyed girl, Willow. He would always say Willow would be his mate someday. It always made Kristen mad. But all Willow cared about was her friends and having fun.

That sunny day, the whole Crescent Moon pack was gathered together to celebrate the birth of Luna's second pup. A girl they named Amber.

Everyone was having a good time when the patrol warrior's mind linked to the pack that they were under attack by Rogue's. All females, children, and elderly people were ordered to the bunkers. Tammy Mason ran to get Willow and headed to the bunker, but as they were running to the bunker, Willow fell to the ground, and her body twisted in agony. Her screams threw her mother's soul. Tammy did not understand what was happening to her child. Tammy began to hear and witness the sound of her daughter's bones breaking. White hair began to grow on, her 10-year-old who was shifting. Tammy looked around and saw no one was near them ; everyone was either in the bunker or fighting the Rogues. Tammy picked up Willow as she was still trying to shift and took off into the forest.

After hours of running, Tammy stopped when she noticed Willow was almost through her shift. placing her down, she knelt beside her daughter and tried to talk her daughter through the rest of her shift.

Within 10 minutes, Tammy's eyes were wide as the moon. Standing on all fours in front of her stood a pure white wolf. The rarest of wolves. They were never really heard of. In fact, Tammy had only been told of one other white from centuries ago. Tammy took a closer look at her daughter and noticed that in the center of the wolf's forehead was a mark of a Crescent Moon.

"Oh my god," said Tammy, as she realized that her daughter Willow was the pure descendant of the moon goddess herself. Willow was the chosen one who was hand-picked by Selene to be the next moon goddess. Tammy knew that if anyone were to find out about this, her daughter would be hunted and kidnapped by power-hungry Alphas and Rogues.

She had to hide Willow and keep her hidden from the world for herself. She could not let Willow ever be part of the world.

Deep in the forest near the far back of their territory was an old run-down cabin. No one has ever been this far out. She knew no one would find willows there.

She told Willow that she was in danger; people were trying to kill her. Willow could not understand why people would want to kill her. She asked her mother why, and the answer she got was she had been bad, and her wolf was an evil wolf. Her mother made her promise to obey her and stay hidden. No one was to ever find out she was still alive.

That night, when Tammy returned home to the pack, she was covered in dirt and had made herself look like she had been in a fight.

She told the pack that 5 Rouges grabbed Willow and ran off with her. She made out she had to run after them and fight them, but it was too late. The rogue had already killed Willow, and she had just made it out alive herself.

She cried and mourned her daughter's death with her husband and the rest of the pack. They held a funeral for her. Lucas took it so hard. He believed that one day, Willow would be his mate.

For 8 long years, Willow lived alone in that old run-down cabin deep in the woods. Once a month, Tammy would visit and bring food, clothes, and other items for her. Willow spent her time playing with the forest animals and learned to control and use her powers on her own. But Willow was still lonely and missed her friends' father and the pack. Tammy told her Lucas had been the Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack for two years now. He took it over when he turned 18, and because I could not be the next beta, he made Kyle his beta. When Willow would ask to go home, Tammy would tell her Alpha Lucas would kill her on the spot if he were to find out the bad girl with the evil wolf was still alive. She would remind her that her wolf was never to be seen by anyone. Willow wishes she could have taken her birthright as a beta. She could understand what she could have done for everyone to think she was bad and that they wanted her dead.

Willow:

I had just finished doing the school work my mother would bring me, so I would at least keep learning. So I decided I would go sit by the little creek that flowed by my old cabin.

As a child, I loved Disney movies. I remember many songs from them, so as I am sitting by the creek running, my hands through the water, I begin to sing the song from Snow White. I find myself singing a lot these days. I had nothing but books, Disney movies, and the company of the small animals of the forest.

"WILLOW WILLOW?" I heard my mother call me. I got to my feet and ran back to the cottage.

"Oh child, where were you? I was scared someone had found you." Tammy says

" Oh, mother, I have been here for 8 years, and not once has anyone ever come near here but you," I told her.

"I put your monthly groceries in the kitchen. I can not stay today. Your father has been asking me where all the extra money has been going, and on top of that, the Beta has been wondering why I take off for hours each month into the forest", Tammy says.

" I will try to be back as soon as I can. You are going to have to try hunting for food as well."

"I am always hunting, mother. I am 18 now. I can protect myself. Please just let me come home." I said.

"Willow, why must we do this song and dance every time I visit? The answer has always been no, and it is still no," she says.

" But I am lonely, mother. I miss Father. I miss all my old friends. I do not understand why you insist on keeping me here or why the Alpha and others in the pack want me dead." I said.

" I want to learn things, to be a normal teenager, not some prisoner of the forest because someone may or may not try to kill me."

"YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT," my mother yells and slaps me across the face.

" I RISK EVERYTHING TO KEEP YOU HIDDEN FOR YOUR SAFETY, AND YOU QUESTION ME NON-STOP EVERY TIME I COME. Trust me, child, the world out there is not for you. Now enough talk of you leaving here. I have to go.

And with that, she shifts and takes off into the forest.

"I am so sick and tired of hiding," I said.

I was so worked up that I started practicing and playing around with my powers. I just want to be happy. What is so wrong with wanting to be a normal teenager and happy?

Beta kyle:

I have noticed that for months now, Beta Female Tammy Mason has been sneaking off into the forest. She heads off towards the back of the territory that no one has ever been to and then returns hours later. When I asked her about it, she would say she likes to run alone and to somewhere no one else does. But to me, her story seems to be made up. She is hiding something, and I want to know what it is she is hiding.

I decided I had to let Alpha Lucas Carter know about my suspicion and see what he thinks about the matter. If he finds it just as weird like me, then I have to find out what she is hiding.

I knocked on Lucas's office door and waited for him to answer. When he says to come in, I enter and see Kristen on his lap. I know that as kids, we were all friends, but as we got older, Kristen turned ugly. I do not mean her looks are ugly. She was pretty with her long brown hair, big green eyes, pouty lips, and nice body, she could wear less makeup though, but her attitude was ugly, so stuck up, everything was about her. She was horrible to everyone.

"Hey Kyle, what can I do for you?" says Lucas.

"Can I talk to you in private?"I asked, so he knew it was pack matters and not just friendship stuff.

"No," Kristen said,

"I am going to be the future, Luna, so whatever you have to say to my mate, you can say in front of me,"

"In that case, I will come back later, Alpha," I said, turning to leave.

"No, Kyle, wait," said Lucas.

"Come sit. Kristen, excuse us, please, "he asked her.

"You can not be serious, Lucas?" she said.

"I am going to be your Luna. I have a right to stay.. Kyle can just deal with it. "

"I said leave, Kristen," said Lucas

" I will catch up with you later. You know I have a meeting in 15 minutes, anyway, so go."

"Fine." She jumped to her feet and stormed out, giving me one of her nasty looks.

" OK, so what is Kyle?" he asked.

I told Lucas about my suspicions of Tammy Mason. How she goes in with bags in her mouth once a month and returns hours later with no bags. I told him what her response to my questions was.

" I see why you would find this suspicious," Lucas said.

"I have to admit I find myself finding it rather suspicious myself. Keep an eye on her, and the next time you see her leave, follow her and report back to me what you uncover, " he said.

So today, I was heading to the training field when I saw Tammy entering the woods with bags in her hands again. I shifted and followed her. When she was far enough away from the pack training fields, she shifted, picked up the bags, and took off running. I never thought she was going to stop running. I was beginning to think I was wrong and she was telling me the truth, but then 2 hours later of nonstop running, she finally stops in front of an old cabin that seems to have been fixed up a bit. I heard her yelling something. I listen with my wolf hearing,

"WILLOW WILLOW?" I heard her yell. Why the hell is she calling for her dead daughter? Seconds later, I saw a beautiful blonde-haired girl running towards her. She was so breathtaking.

"Oh child, where were you? I was scared someone had found you. " I heard Tammy say to her.

"Oh, mother. I have been here for 8 years, and not once has anyone ever come near here but you. " She called her mother and said she has been here 8 years,?.

I continued to listen to their conversation. A short time later, I saw Tammy shift and take off back towards the packhouse. Could this girl really be Willow? Has she been alive all these years?

"I am so sick and tired of hiding." I heard the girl say. My eyes got big. I am in shock, is she? Is she doing magic? What in God's name is going on?
