Full Moon

Prologue

BANG!

The sound of a gunshot piercing through the air was what woke Aria Knight up from her peaceful sleep. She sat straight up in her bed, her hair tousled and her Chocolate colored eyes showing no sign of tiredness left in them.

She was alert. She jumped out of bed, still only wearing a small white tang-top and underwear, last night she had gotten a bad feeling and she had been way to hot to sleep in any pajama pants even if it was winter. Aria ran quickly across the room towards her dresser and threw on a pair of jean shorts. She ran out of her bedroom and into the hall as another loud shot went through the air.

In the hall, Aria noticed, that everybody seemed to be looking around as well. She noticed that everybody also seemed to be in their sleeping wear, everybody other than her aunt Pam, but then again Aunt Pam was always ready for anything. As Aria came out of her room everybody seemed to glance at her.

She put up her hand, telling them to stay here as she headed down the hall towards the living room where the front door was located. She glanced around the corner to see nothing. She started towards the front door when a hand caught hers from behind. She glanced behind her to see Ethan,her beta, wearing nothing but his boxers which had a care bears logo on them that she was sure that Tracey had probably bought and made him wear.

At any other time she would have laughed and made fun of him but they had other problems right now."Wait here."Aria told him sternly as she glanced back to shoot him a glare. Ethan ,of course, ignored her, as he followed right behind her towards the front door. Aria rolled her eyes before glancing out the front window next to the door.

What she saw made her eyes widen. There he stood in front of their small house, wearing casual jeans with a black sweater. His midnight black hair had gotten much longer and was now tied in a small ponytail that reached just past his shoulders. His eyes were the same as the last time she saw him.A brown that was filled with nothing but hate and menace.

Aria turned around to face Ethan, who was looking curiously at her."What?" She closed her eyes tightly before snapping them open.

"It's Kane."

That was all Aria had to saw before Ethan was off down the hallway, no doubt to warn the others. Aria looked back out the window once more before heading down the hall after Ethan. She saw that almost everybody was panicking. It seemed that her,Ethan, and her Aunt Pam were the only remotely calm ones.

"Everybody calm down." Aria spoke softly ,she didn't want to alert anybody outside,mainly Kane, that they were awake but even though Aria didn't speak loudly, she had used her Alpha tone. It made everybody's attention snap to her at once.

"I want you all to get out of here now, Go through the back door. Take 2 cars, the two fastest and get to the airport and each of you head to London, go straight to the pack okay."

By 'the pack' Aria meant the werewolf pack of London England.

"What about you?" Anna asked the same time as Abe said "I have to get Christy."

Aria sighed.

"Christy's house is 20 minutes away from here and on the way to the airport you can get her." She told her pack mate Abe. Christy was his human girlfriend but their was no way he could leave her. Christy knew their secret and was part of this family and rightfully, she was Abe's chosen mate, to put it lightly.

Abe nodded and Aria turned to answer her younger sister Annabelle."I am taking my bike.I have other things to do before heading to England but I promise I will call you to let you know where I am."

Aria turned to look towards the living room when she heard banging on the door before looking at her pack in front of her.

"Get dressed first and then hurry"

The two cars sped down the empty highway. The one in front, a silver mustang held one werewolf and one human .Abe drove at top speed, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands while his love, Christy, sat beside him and looked out the window, her worry clear on her face.

Abe took one hand off the wheel to grab hers and she glanced at him."Everything will be okay." Abe whispered quietly, trying to sooth her. She nodded tightly and squeezed his hand.

The second car was slightly behind the first. It was a Toyota, an older model but it was still fast. The car occupied 2 older werewolves,the youngest werewolf and the eldest of their family.A retired werewolf.

Ethan,the beta of their pack drove his expression neutral while his girlfriend and fellow pack mate sat beside him. She had her eyes closed and her head back but Ethan could tell she wasn't asleep. He could see the worry on her face.

"Tracey."

She opened one eye and peeked over at him."What."She asked.

Ethan sighed. "Your okay right?" She snorted quietly."I'm okay, It's Aria I'm worried about." She whispered quietly not wanting their youngest pack member to overhear her but Anna was to busy staring out the window in her own world to listen to them."I'm worried to." Ethan said before continuing."But Ari's smart enough not to get killed."

Pam Garth sat in the back of the car listening to the two lovers in the front talk about her older niece. She was worried about her but she knew that her niece was smart, she wouldn't be the alpha of the pack if she wasn't.

Pam sighed thinking back to her older sister and how she had married the Alpha of their pack when they were younger. It had cost her her life but Pam knew her sister was happy and was clearly in love and had died young but produced 3 beautiful children that Pam was more then happy to love and spoil. She thought back to the loss of her sister and her brother-in-law and prayed that Aria would not end up like they had.

Pam glanced over to her younger niece who was sitting beside her. She knew Annabelle was worried about losing her. Other then herself, Aria was the only true family Anna had left.

Anna's face was expressionless but Pam had practically raised her since her parents died and knew her well enough to know she wasn't fine. Pam knew not to bother her. Anna needed a little time to herself.

Annabelle stared out the window and into the night. They had been driving for a few hours now and the airport was still another hour a way but that was what they got for living in the middle of no where.

Anna bit her lip thinking about Aria and what she could be doing. Was she alright? Was she hurt? Why hadn't she called them yet? Was she even alive? Anna decided it was best not to think about those things. She had to think happy thoughts.

Ethan pressed down hard on the brakes when the mustang Abe was driving in front of them swerved. They all scrambled out of the car only to see 3 large SUV's surrounding them.

Anna jumped when a hand landed on her shoulder. She glanced up at her Aunt Pam who had a serious expression on her face. Pam shoved her purse into Anna's hands.

Anna glanced up at her, confused.

"This had money in it and an address too, okay go to the is an address for the Ipswich witches." Anna gave a small gasp at that. She had always thought that the Sons of Ipswich story was...well...just that.

A story.

Aunt Pam took in her expression and nodded to herself as if she was expecting this.

"It may be a while away from here, but you are strong and a werewolf, you can make it okay, I will send Aria after you.I am not sure when she will get there but I promise it will be as soon as possible okay."

Anna nodded, "But what about you Aunt Pam?"

"I am going to stay here and help, Just go and don't look back."

Anna sniffed and she felt the tears she had been holding in until now slip and run down her face."But-" Aunt Pam cut her off before she could get any more out."No-Just hurry and go through there"-she pointed towards the forest beside them"- and be careful." Aunt Pam hugged Anna hard before pushing her through the trees.

Anna glanced back at her Aunt and the rest of her pack and taking off into the the forest, the night surrounding her, as she never looked back again,

She just ran.
