Once in a Blue Moon

The bell rang, echoing throughout the house and I couldn't help but groan. I was about to meet my doom.

"Seriously, Ellie, it's not that bad." I stuck my tongue at Nate. Well that's because he is your best friend asshole. Of course if I said it out loud, I would get in trouble. Stupid parents being in the area when I needed to cuss out my brother. He just smirked knowingly. I wondered if they were maybe planning my death because it definitely felt like that.

I heard Mom open the door. I could imagine what was happening. She would warmly smile at him and welcome him in with a "Hello Matthew darling." Darling my ass. Then he would come in and say, "It's a pleasure to see you again Aunt Claire." Pff. Suck up.

"ELISABETH!" I jumped out of my seat at my mother's loud voice. I was zoned out when she called my name. I trudged dramatically at the door and glared at Matt. He smirked his famous Black smirk. Psh, it didn't affect me. I walked out with him and looked at my mother pleadingly. "Please, don't make me." She smiled micheviously.

"You'll love me after this honey trust me."
"Doubt it."
"Never say doubt."

"It's never say never."
"Hey who's the mother."
"You."
"Exactly. Now have a good time."
She closed the door and I was standing next to Matt thinking, doubt, doubt, doubt. How do you like that mother? He glanced at me.

"Well, let's get this over with."
"Whatever jackass."
"Ouch with the name calling."
"Suck my..."
"ELISABETH!"

Yup, dear mother was listening in.

We walked into the forest, and I was grumbling to myself, when he interrupted my peaceful inner conversation.

"Why do you hate me so much? I mean seriously are we going to let what happened between us when we were five, ruin a perfectly good chance at friendship?"
I looked up at him bewildered. Where did this come from?
"Um, well this is a first. And no I don't hate you for what happened when we were five. I'm not that immature. C'mon Matt you're a total dick." He looked at me with this hurt puppy-dog look. I rolled my eyes. "You sleep with every girl you can find. These girls who you make fall in love with you and then you break their hearts by telling them it's just a one night stand. I mean who does that?" Matt stared at me with no emotion in his eyes. I sighed. I didn't know what he wanted me to tell him. That it was okay? That we could ever be friends? We just didn't get along and that is how it will always be. I didn't want to hurt his feelings, but sometimes you need to feel the pain to know what you caused.

"Let's just get this over with." He spoke with a cold expression on his face. I bit my lip and nodded. He looked over at me and shook his head in frustration. He then turned around and I undressed. It was kind of uncomfortable, but for some reason he wasn't even peeking. Guess I wasn't that attractive. I think phased and ran a little bit farther away so he could change.

You take the east side and I'll take the west. You good with that?

I was startled by the sudden voice in my head. I shook it off.

Yeah Oh Might Great-However-Many-Grandsons-Of-Ephraim-Black, I bow before you're wishes.

I teased him. Hopefully he will bounce back to his normal self. Was it selfish to want him to fight back?

Ateara, I know I'm awesome and all but let's leave the praising in the bedroom, you know after you're done screaming my name.

I laughed at that. Yeah he's back.

That would require me being in your league. Too bad I'm way out of yours.

Then, we heard the loudest wolf howl in the world. There was an immediate pack meeting. Matt and I raced back to the forest and quickly changed. We ran to the cliffs, the place where the howl came from, to see everyone there. Including Old Grandpa Billy Black, sitting in his wheelchair with an almost joyous expression on his face.

Levi Uley, our alpha was watching us closely as we came closer. I had no idea why but I shot him a back off look. He smiled at me as if he knew something I didn't.

I sat down next to Audrey and put my head on her shoulder. She smiled at me. "How'd it go with Matt?" She whispered curiously. I grinned at her.
"A little awkward at first, but at the end it was same old, same old."
"Sure, sure."

I laughed at her impression of Uncle Jake. Suddenly we all got quiet as Grandpa Billy looked as if he was about to start.
"I have gathered you today to tell you of one legend that I believe is soon coming to pass."
We all looked at him curiously. Even the parents were staring at him with a bewildered look.

"Have I ever told you guys the legend of the Blue Moon? Well it goes that during the blue moon, one male wolf will imprint on one female wolf. This wolf will become the alpha and the female wolf, if she chooses to accept the imprint will be the beta. They have been prophesized to be the most powerful alpha and beta to ever coexist upon this tribe."

My gaze drifted towards Matt, before I realized what happened. I snapped my attention back to Grandpa Billy, hoping that I wouldn't get caught. Apparently I didn't because he didn't say anything.

Uncle Sam looked up at Levi, who liked like he was struggling not to burst out into his wolf form. He was angry. He had already imprinted on Sophia Winston, another girl from the reservation, and had no way of being the alpha. I think he felt like he had to be, because his father was. Uncle Sam put a hand on his shoulder and whispered something in his ear. He immediately calmed down and just smiled at his father. Who knows what happened there, but at least no one got killed. If I was the smallest wolf, Levi was one of the biggest.

Grandpa Billy kept on staring at me eerily, as if it might be me. I doubted it. Like I doubted everything else. I was the smallest wolf of the pack and wasn't much of a leader. It should Lauren or Rory or someone else. They had the fiery and aggressiveness to be a good beta. Especially Lauren, since her parents are Jacob Black and Leah Clearwater-Black. Two werewolves make strong werewolf babies. Do you see it?

Dad nudged me as if to make me stand up. I stood up and turned around to Levi. "Hey we didn't get to patrol today, so..." He just shook his head.

"Don't worry about it tonight, but tomorrow you're guys are on patrol in the morning okay?"

I groaned. Mornings and I just do not get along. We're like oil and vinegar. We just don't mesh.

"Fine, fine. Bye, Levi." I smiled and him and gave him a short wave. He smiled back. Levi and I always got along. He was almost like a surrogate big brother. Well I guess everyone really was like my surrogate big brother, except for Matt. He's just a jerk.

I walked with my dad when he asked me if I wanted to take a walk. I shrugged and we turned towards the forest.
"Ellie, I want you to know that if it's you, then you don't have to accept. I won't force you, and no one will. The imprint is strong though. You know you guys have changed. Now you can have children while you phase. Leah didn't have that chance. I guess that's why it makes this possible. If you are imprinted on, you have to promise me that you will think about it, no matter who it is." He looked at me with huge eyes. Wow, I never thought I'd see the day where my dad, Quil Ateara III would look serious. I nodded my head.

"Of course dad. Anything for the pack."
