Chapter 1: Wolf Moon
I need to move to Beacon Hills. My Aunt Melissa said that whenever I'm ready she would take me in her hands; my parents wanted her to be my guardian.
I haven't seen my aunt and Scott since last year when they came to my parents' funeral. Both of them were confused as to how they died and so were the police. But there story was this 'animal' attacked us due to an unlocked back door but I know what the real story was...
I was in my room then all the lights turned off and I needed to go down to the basement to get to the fuse box. But then I heard my mom's screams before I ran down the stairs to see blood all over the walls and writing saying "you". I didn't know what that meant or if that was directed at me until I came in the kitchen. It was so hard to see anything but I just about saw my parent's bodies lay limp with their blood spilled on the floor. At the moment I couldn't process anything but I had to and I didn't want to but I slowly looked up to the red glowing eyes. Yes by then I was freaking out even more. Then I heard a low growl, "I couldn't get to you if your parents were alive, besides you'd probably kill them anyway once you've turned." It sounded like a man and I heard him slowly moving towards me, his hands tapping the counter as he walked. "You're probably thinking why did you kill my parents?" He took another step, "what do you want to do with me?" And another, I just nodded instantly thinking he saw every move I was making, "just keep still and don't scream."
I shuddered at the memory of the bite. The excruciating pain that it put met through, both physically and mentally.
I woke up to people talking but they soon stopped. They were walking over to me but somehow I heard their heartbeat, actually I heard everything from the birds outside, the trees rustling and their footsteps coming closer. "How do you like it then?" it was the same voice as the man who killed my parents.
"Where the hell am I?!" I sat up immediately to see two really hot guys and a stunning girl, probably not that much older than me, they were all dark skinned and dark haired and probably family, a twisted one.
"That doesn't matter right now. What matters right now is that that excruciating bite and the fact you're awake means you survived a wolf bite- yes a werewolf bite" He looked at me waiting for an answer but his crossed arms indicated he was waiting for an insult. But I was just too mesmerized by how good looking he was, can be people be this beautiful?
"Look if I'm being punked this is a sick joke" I glared at all three of them. The girl raised her eyebrows and punched me in the face. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it but I was still pissed as to why she'd hit me when I was asking her a serious question! The murderer handed the other man a mirror. I saw this girl with glowing yellow eyes and her face was just ew, and there was extra hair that grew out of her head. Then I started to go back to normal, I looked the same but better. I lost some weight mostly around my face but in a good way and it made me look more athletic even though I was never not slim but I wasn't extremely toned although I did just about every sport. My eyes directed me to chains and this electrocution chair.
"We're not a sick group of people," he said and I scoffed at how ironic that was, "but the reason why were going to have to torture you is because it's a full moon tonight and it'll be your first transformation and you won't be able to control yourself which means you'll kill just about everything in your way. Including us." Oh how I wish I could right now but I'm not a dumbass, I know I'm outnumbered.
Let me just skip to the part where they couldn't hold me down at the full moon and I first slashed that bitch's throat for when she punched me then I killed red eyes for murdering my parents and the other guy begged for his life and that I would never see him again and he honestly looked like he would shit his pants. Then when I felt my hairs grow back and I saw that my eyes weren't yellow but red. I soon figured out that I was the leader, an 'alpha'.
I packed all my stuff in my red Ferrari and towed my Suzuki GSX 1000 (motorbike) at the back of my car. I know it sounds too extravagant, however, my parents were thinking of getting me a car when I was 18 and I want a car that will last me until I can't drive so I'd remember this gift and I bought a motorbike because I changed into this 'badass' character. My perspective in life changed after my parents' death and I'm not that prissy teenager who likes to party and date hot jocks, I want to be tough and I've been distant from people and put on a tough act and a boundary wall between them and I for the past year.
I arrived at Melissa's house and she greeted my outside the door.
"Jane! It's nice to see you again, it's been too long. But hey, I'm glad you're ready to move on now." She looked really surprised but maybe it's from the excitement.
"Yes am I too. I'm more than ready cuz I want to let go of some of this tough exterior and not to mention getting my grades back up from lacking for the past year."
"It's called grieving." She gave me a warm smile and another hug. This really made me think of how lonely I felt last year as I fended for myself and maybe that's one of the reasons for my tough act because I had no one around me.
She put the kettle on whilst telling me about my new school "So it's called Beacon Hills High School and they said you are going to have to be a junior since you missed out a lot in the past year and they said you need to be refreshed of the old stuff and learn new things just to even be in senior year." Great being with a bunch of 17 year olds is going to be hell. But it made me feel bad for not going to school for a whole year although it wasn't my priority.
"But at least Scott will be there and he's only a sophomore, you'll see him around a lot oh and speaking of Scott he'll be home soon after his shift at the vet's clinic."
"He works now? Haha what have you promised him?" I was generally impressed that he's working and embarrasses me that my 16 year old cousin has a job before me.
"Mom is that for me outside?" Scott asked and he grinned at his Mom even though she laughed at him and shook her head and turned to me. "Hi I'm Sco-" I turned to look at him and I knew he didn't recognise him.
"Scott hey." I rushed to him to give him a hug which took him by surprise and I heard his heartbeat speed up knowing I need to let him recognise me first.
"Jane?" He looked at Melissa with a curious esxpression, "wait you didn't tell me!"
"Surprise?" she laughed at how Scott basically lunged at me to give me a big bear hug.
"It's been too long since I saw you! Wait does that mean that, wait yeah of course it does. Everyone's gonna be jealous especially Jackson." He smiled and nodded his head again and the words spewed out of his mouth like a tennis ball launcher with his arms flailing around with enthusiasm.
"Oh, ah sorry I'll explain tomorrow who that is." We all just laughed at that, "So is that your ride? Both of them?" Scott asked.
"Yeah, I bought them with my parent's will," suddenly his face fell sad, "and I can give you ride if you want." I knew it would brighten his face up.
"Oh no thanks, I mean I'd love to but I gotta get to school to see Stiles and for lacrosse team meeting." I forgot about the equally goofy Stiles. I'd remember how we'd all play with each other when we were younger because we were best friends after all even though I was two years older but I was more a tomboy and also how sweet he was for bringing my mother's favourite flowers at the funeral.
"Ok, and how was lacrosse camp?" Scott was never very athletic but his lacrosse was just one of the things he wanted to excel in.
"Yeah it was good.." he yawned and Melissa shuffled us upstairs.
"Yeah and a goodnight's sleep would also be good since it's a school night!"
5:30 am. I woke up and this time not from a nightmare of my parents being slaughtered. I guess that's a sign that moving to Beacon Hills was a good idea.
I got dressed in my green nike sports bra & running shorts and quietly got downstairs not waking anyone up and headed out for my morning run as usual. I've been running for 15 minutes even though it was more like sprinting and I'm still not tired (one of the perks of being a werewolf) but I've got to head back; school starts at 8, but just a few more minutes in the woods. I circle a burned down house to go back to the house and I see man just to the left standing there but I choose to ignore him since I really don't have time for this.
Melissa greeted me good morning as I ran upstairs and I thought that I would do a few pull-ups on the door post as I could hear that Scott was still in the shower.
"Oh god, uhh sorry I didn't know that- " he was blushing at the fact I was wearing a sports bra in front of him.
"Scott relax, it's only a sports bra don't worry about it." I poked his cheek trying to get a smile out from him which worked.
"I was trying out my gentleman skills, did it work?" he said with right amount of sarcasm.
"Yes, you've always been a gentleman, I don't get why you don't have a girlfriend."
"I'm working on that too. You're surprisingly really strong, I mean you do a lot of sports but I can't even do one pull up."
"Umm, yeah I practise a lot." And from there we dropped the subject about my supernatural strength.
Sure I was getting a lots of glares and a few "show off's" from them as I entered the school's parking lot but suck it. I could hear Scott park his bike but then I heard a car park right next to him so I decided to park next to him too.
"Dude, watch the paint job." He said when opened his door and slammed Scott and the bike. I got out the car to see who this jerk is, "Nice ride." He said as he flashed a smile and winked at me whilst looking me up and down. Huh, tool.
"Thanks, you too." But I didn't smile back and just turned my focus on to helping Scott up. He was going to say something back but another guy called him over.
"Jackson come on!" Yep I pretty much suspected that he was Jackson, he had this jerk off aura about him so he walked away the usual jock cockiness as I saw him with his lacrosse stick. I pulled Scott up and attached his bike at the back of my car.
"Thanks, I guess those pull ups are paying off." He said and rubbed his shoulder. Oops may have pulled him up a little too hard.
"Yeah I guess-" I was cut off by this familiar voice.
"Scott how's the bite- Jane?" I gave Stiles a smile and hugged just like Scott did last night.
"Long time no see!" I gave him a big hug back and he was taken aback by my strength.
"You look great! Really great and your hair, you grew it out?" He said with same enthusiasm as Scott last night like "a tennis launcher" god they must spend a lot of time with each other.
"Well I thought a change was good." He gave me smile knowing I was thinking about my parents. "So I'm gonna go ahead and get all the info I need from the receptionist's office. As I left them they started to talk about a wolf bite from last night. Scott must have snuck out whilst we were asleep and I wonder who this 'wolf' is. So I guess Beacon Hills is just a supernatural as my home town was.
. . .
A lot of people looked at me as I walked down the halls of Beacon Hills High School; yep sure I was expecting this due to the tight jeans, leather jacket, white cleavage showing bralet, straight hair, red lipstick and wearing sunglasses inside. Might as well look good on first day back to school and make a good impression right?
"Oh wow. Black high heeled ankle boots, chic!" A red head friend standing next to Jackson said, her style wasn't bad either. But now I'm in school again I really want to get my straight A's again.
Scott asked if I wanted to see his and Stiles' lacrosse practice and I agreed. I sat next girl with long brown hair who wasn't that much taller to me and she right beside the red headed girl and they both gave me a smile.
It was Scott's turn to play goal although but as someone shoots the ball hits him right in the face of his helmet. Everyone laughs at him but I just gave him a supportive smile. But then another guy takes a shot and Scott catches the ball effortlessly, Stiles and I gave each other a look but we both stood up and cheered. Scott never was coordinated and to see him make that catch made me wonder that he's survived the werewolf bite. So two bitten werewolves in the family now, then a voice snapped me out of thought.
"He seems like he's pretty good." The brunette said.
"Yeah he seems good." The red haired girl replied and we all stood up to cheer him again when he caught another ball but this time it came from Jackson and I could see his annoyed expression because we cheered for Scott.
At the end of the game the two girls introduced themselves as Lydia the red head and Allison was the brunette, Jackson came up behind Lydia and gave a kiss on the cheek.
"And this is Jac-" she introduced him but I just cut straight to the point making it obvious I didn't like him regardless of his good looks.
"We've met." I blatantly replied and Jackson just gave me a smile.
"Oh ok then, well there's a party at my house tomorrow night and I live at-" Lydia said.
"I'm sure Scott can take me if I can come, which I'd love to-" but before I could finish Allison cut me off.
"Are you guys dating?" I could tell she liked him.
"Me and Scott? No, we're cousins actually." I heard Allison sigh slightly with relief and both had a surprised expression on their faces.
"You're related to him?" Jackson asked but Lydia nicely slapped him on his chest.
"Jackson?!" she said in a what-the-hell-shut up voice, "Well I hope you can come tomorrow." She gave a smile and all of them walked off and I joined Scott and Stiles congratulating Scott on how good he was. I saw him Allison give each other a smile and Stiles saw it too.
"Do you like her?" I asked him, they would make a cute couple though.
"Yes he does." Stiles answered for him and we all laughed and headed home.
Scott and Stiles were working on a project at Stiles' house whilst Melissa is still at work so I did my homework on metamorphosis and after I did some push ups, pull-ups and don't forget the sit-ups. So when Melissa came home I headed out for another run wearing the same kit and taking the same route. As I entered the Beacon Hills preserve (forest) I heard Scott and Stiles talking to man who smelled exactly like a werewolf but not an alpha so I headed that way. Luckily it was on my route yesterday and they were near the burned down house.
"Scott? Stiles? I thought you were working on the project?" I asked and both turned around to me. Stiles eyed me down but I chose to ignore the hormonal 16 year old and Scott gave me an embarrassing look maybe because I just wearing a sports bra and small running shorts only because I don't get cold. His face grew redder as they stepped out of the way to reveal the werewolf I smelled. He had black spiked hair, prominent facial features with impeccable cheek bones and a strong jaw line. His face was breathtaking but what stunned me more was from his neck and down. He wore dark blue jeans that fit him just right and he had on a black t-shirt and leather jacket which was tight in a good way because I could see he was muscular but all wolves were in shape and fit.
"And that goes for you too. This is private property, I saw you running here yesterday." He said with his brooding voice. He too eyed me and he tried to stop his heart rate speed up even more and so did I, I won't let this guy hear my heart beat even if he didn't like me.
"*stalker!*" I heard Stiles cough it out and he covered his mouth with his hand as Scott and I rolled our eyes at him and even Scott couldn't hold a laugh. He walked away back to the house and we walked the other direction from him.
"Why did you two lie about going in the woods?" I asked them. They gave each other a look.
"Scott lost his inhaler here when we were here last night."
"You went into the woods last night?! It says don't enter after dark." I pointed to a sign.
"We were just trying to look for a dead body then a wolf bit me-"
"That's not the point right now! Didn't you see that he was Derek Hale? His family, they all burned to death in a fire like ten years ago," Stiles says, "you know he's only a few years older than us and like year older than you Jane." He winked at me but I just scoffed back.
"No way, he looks way too murderous for you." Scott interjected. Derek heard Scott's comment and growled at it. I know Derek Hale didn't bite Scott because he didn't smell like and alpha and he also doesn't know I'm an alpha but he does know that I'm a werewolf too.
So I arrived at Lydia's house with Scott and he finally asked Allison to come with him to the party. I came dressed in a dark red chiffon long sleeved blouse tucked in loosely in my high waisted dark navy blue short shorts with black heels.
"Killer heels Jane." Lydia commented and I complimented her outfit too.
I could feel my transformation starting as the full moon shone and I knew Scott was transforming and that Derek was creeping in the dark but everyone was too drunk to see. I glared at him and ran for the door and ran home.
A/N: Please keep on reading and reviewing as this is only the first chapter and it may have been kind of boring to read!
