Our Mother the Moon Chapter 2

I can't really remember how long I was out, it felt like a few minutes, but in actuality it was a few hours. Without Erwin Smith, our alpha, knocking at my door, I'd probably end up sleeping through the rest of the day.

I snapped awake from a dreamless sleep at the sound of someone knocking on my door, followed by a deep, sexy voice, and I mean really sexy. The kind of sexy voice that you would find on some sort of sex-god male model.

"Eren? Are you there?" the deep voice asked, rapping once again on my door.

I must've muttered something really stupid to confirm that yes I was here because I heard a rumble of laughter coming behind my door. I lazily got off my bed, almost face planting on the wooden floor because of my lack of coordination. I stretched, moaning loudly in pleasure as I heard my back pop in response, before wrapping the blanket around me and going to answer my door. My eyes widened when I saw that indeed there was a sex-god standing in front of my door, which surprised me only because I'm pretty sure the dude standing there avoiding low-lifes like myself like the plague.

The man chuckled at my reaction and ruffled up my hair, much like a big brother would to his younger brother," Sorry if I woke you up from your nap, I was hoping to talk to you, welcome you to the brotherhood."

I blinked at him, my face flushing up at being touched by such an attractive person, before nodding," That's fine…uhm brotherhood? That sounds like that's off of a game…"

Erwin chuckled once again, putting a hand on my shoulder, squeezing and leading me back in my room, my blanket trailing behind me as I sat on the bed once again. I brought my legs to my chest, my chin resting on my knees as I appreciated this beautiful creature in front of me. I did tell you guys I was gay right? Like 100% gay? He was blonde for starters, having the same haircut as Levi somewhat except he didn't have a fringe and his bangs were swept to the side of his face. He had blue eyes that shone with comradery but also held a little bit of piercing intelligence and authority that had me bowing my head submissively. It was weird because usually I never bowed to anyone, unless it was towards Levi of course because he always carried that authoritive, bad ass attitude around with him. He wore a tight, black shirt that showed off his biceps, with a hint of an outline of his six-pack. He also wore jeans that really showed off that perfect orb of an ass, and a pair of white socks.

Erwin grabbed the chair Levi once occupied, pulling it over so he was sitting right in front of Eren," I understand that this must be very hard for you to understand, going home one moment, getting attacked, and then waking up in a strange place like this. Understand that this is for your own safety as well as for other people, including your family. It's a lot to take in, and it's going to be a struggle for you to control your inner beast, as one might say. I want you to think of me not only as your leader, but also as a mentor, a friend. It's going to be hard, but it's possible."

"I didn't ask to become a werewolf though. Hell, I don't even know if I am one! I mean, I got bit, sure, but that doesn't mean anything, does it!? Don't my parents miss me? Aren't I allowed to at least see them? And why the hell did you tell them I was dead!? I mean, what the hell, really!?" I said, letting out my pent up anger at the unfairness of it all. I didn't ask for this to happen, I didn't ask for my life to be completely changed forever. Erwin blinked at me with those piercing blue eyes, making me shrink down again submissively. What the hell was that about anyways?

"I know you didn't ask for it, that was partially my fault, I should've kept a better eye on Nile. He managed to escape the sanctuary yesterday because he thought he could control himself in his wolf form. I'm sure your parents miss you very much Eren, but please try to understand that it's for the best, we don't want humans to find out about this place for fear of what they'll do. For most of the supernaturals here, this is the only place where they are guaranteed safety Eren. I know how you must feel, I know it's unfair but this is your new life and you're going to have to adjust. We're very certain that you are indeed a werewolf now because for one you have survived Nile's bite, and I can already see some changes in you. For example, look at your posture, slumped, submissive. As a human you never submitted to authority, it was obvious to everyone at the school. Now look at you, in an alpha's presence you automatically curl into yourself," Erwin explained, sitting up a little taller which made me shrink downward a little more.

I sighed and put my head down on my knees, covering my head up with my arms as I felt a lump form in my throat. I wasn't going to let Erwin see myself cry, because admittedly I looked really stupid and ugly when I cried, plus I wasn't willing to show weakness in front of anyone while I was here.

"Alright, let's get away from that subject for awhile shall we? Do you know anything about werewolves first of all?" Erwin questioned.

I shrugged one shoulder in response, lifting my head up half way, my hair covering my face as I gave him my full attention. After all, since I was apparently a werewolf now, I should probably learn about what it all consists of right?

"Armin sometimes would talk about such things, but all I really know is that they come out during the full moon and are allergic to silver and have a craving to eat humans. I didn't really pay attention because I didn't think they were real," I explained.

"Those facts are mostly correct, although we do not crave humans whatsoever. Usually those cases are due to the fact that those werewolves have no control over their inner beasts, or said humans are in their territory. Nile, like I said, didn't have enough control over his wolfish form and he probably thought you were in his territory…we usually hunt around that forest at night and Nile always was very territorial. It takes practically a full year for a pup to control his wolf properly and even then sometimes it's a struggle. Nile had been here for a year and a half and he was still having issues, even when he was just starting out he only managed a partial transformation during the first few months. Hopefully you won't have such a struggle. We have about thirty days before the next full moon though and hopefully with a balanced diet and proper training we'll get you ready for your transformation. You won't have to worry about being alone during your first transformation, our nurse Hanji Zoe, myself, and Levi will be around to make sure you don't lose control," Erwin explained nonchalantly.

"What about the other wolves? Wouldn't they need you?" Eren asked.

"They're all capable of transforming and controlling themselves, you're the only pup we've had since Nile which is a pretty long time for us. Over the course of this month you might notice an increased rate of hair growth, and hair growth in weird places. Your teeth will become a little sharper and you'll also develop a keen sense of smell and ability to see in the dark. Your ears might become more pointed and you might even have a change in eye color, in fact we have a few wolves with heterochromia. You may also have a craving for raw meat, although I don't recommend consuming any when you're not in your wolf form although some wolves can handle it just fine in their human forms. All of this is very normal," Erwin assured.

"S-So, is the first transformation as bad as Levi said it was?" I asked, a little nervous about what was in store for me.

"Somewhat yes, the first one is always the most difficult, especially since your body isn't used to it yet. Levi's transformation was particularly bad since he is half vampire and half werewolf. Born werewolves don't have much trouble with transforming at all, especially when their transformations start a younger age then those that are usually bitten. Those who are bitten or in Levi's case, half werewolf, it's much harder for them to transform. Levi was the unlucky few that had to go through a few partial transformations, he wrecked Hanji's office once he did transform though and had to be sedated because he couldn't control himself. Vampires and werewolves are natural born enemies, due to his mixed blood he has a harder time controlling either side of himself and rarely joins us on the full moons. His room is specially built for times he loses control, which isn't very often anymore thankfully, but he still has his days. Sometimes he doesn't even transform on the full moons, during those times he locks himself up in his room and doesn't come out until it's over. No one really knows why, I personally think it's just because both sides of him are fighting each other," Erwin explained, his voice lowered as if Levi could hear them behind the walls.

"Am I going to be as violent as that? What if I end up like the one guy...u-uhmm...N-Nile...what even happened to him anyways?" I asked, fearing the answer. I didn't want to turn into a crazy monster and end up hurting someone, especially if it was Armin or Mikasa. I don't care what this guy said, I was going to see them one way or another. I was going to find them again.

"Hopefully not, no, I'll make sure you don't. As for Nile, the Society is setting up a date for his execution since he not only bit you, he has also killed a couple of people last night as well, offenses unforgivable and punishable by death," Erwin replied gravely.

"B-But you said he was new to the whole werewolf thing! I'm just saying that perhaps they should give him another chance, don't you think? Since he's pretty new and all…" I rebutted, although I was still furious at Nile for changing me into this monster, it seemed a little too extreme to be killed for something you had still had no control over.

"It takes on average a full year before a new wolf gains control over his form, should he had been, let's say 7 months old, he would not be executed but still punished severely. Once a new wolf hits a year, he is expected to have full control over his wolf form, unlike Levi who is a special case. Unlike Levi who stays in his room during his bad days, Nile had purposefully escaped from the Sanctuary, these factors are taken into consideration in his trial," Erwin explained sternly.

I looked down glumly, uncertain that I could fully control myself within a year since I barely could control my own anger half of the time, and I've had those issues since day one of my life," Who are the Society exactly? And how did they know that Nile had bitten me so quickly?"

"The Society is a group that watches over all supernatural beings to make sure they do not break the rules of keeping their identities and powers a secret. If humans were to find out that we exist in their world, the consequences could be devastating, whole entire races wiped out both human and supernatural. Nobody knows how the Society works exactly, or how they are able to find things out so quickly unless one is in the Society and even then you're supposed to keep that secret from humans and supernatural beings a like. Members are handpicked by elder members and nobody really knows how one is picked, it just sort of happens. The Society is mysterious and the reason why I know about Nile's condition is because they have contacted me to let me know through email, and due to Nile's case, I have also received a bad mark on my reputation. Thankfully though I have had more successes than failures," Erwin explained with a sense of secrecy in his body posture and eyes.

I gulped, the group did not seem like the type that messed around, unlike the people I associated with, like the principal at my school who was rather lenient depending on his mood and what type of day he had. Even on his bad days I usually managed to kiss his ass to letting me off the hook, but that didn't mean I didn't get punished at home, no, Mikasa made sure to always tell Mom whenever I was sent to the principal's office. And while other people's dads gave the punishment, it was the exact opposite at my house. My father didn't give a shit, chalking me up to just acting like a normal teenage boy, while mother gave the punishment which, when I was younger, was a few smacks on my ass, but now was the typical ritual of having no phone, video games, and "play dates" with Armin for a week.

"I wouldn't worry about it too much Eren, you'll know all there is to know about your new life, including the rules of the Society, and controlling yourself when the time comes. I'm sure you'll make many new friends, maybe even ones from the other divisions. Until then, I would like you to have this, it's a journal that I give to all the newcomers to try and help them deal with the new situation they are in. Think of it as a coping mechanism. I don't require you to write in it, some of them just use it as a sketchbook honestly, but I hope that you do consider it," Erwin finished, standing up and handing him a blue spiral notebook with a pen in the spiral that I haven't noticed until now since I was too busy admiring the guy.

"U-Uhm thanks," I awkwardly replied, reaching out my hand to grab the notebook while trying to consciously keep a blush from rising on my face when our hands brushed against each other. It wasn't my fault he looked like a sex god okay, but if Eren had to choose, he'd still go for the dark, handsome, rude as fuck man known as Levi.

"Supper should be starting soon, do you remember where the cafeteria is?" Erwin asked.

I nodded in response, setting the notebook to the side and getting up as well, following Erwin out of my room after pocketing my key and locking my door.

"Well then, I bid you farewell, make sure you get plenty of rest tonight because your training starts tomorrow," Erwin said with a charming smile, before turning and walking away from me.

I stared after him dumbly, admiring his perfect ass in those jeans, totally ignoring the soft click of a door unlocking to the side of me.

"Oi shit stain, stop staring like a love struck Japanese school girl and get your ass to cafeteria," a familiar voice called to me, making my legs turn to jello.

My head whipped around so fast to the side that I got whiplash from it, with a wince I protested," I'm not love struck, I'm just admiring a fine ass when I see one!"

Levi leaned over slightly to admire said ass over Eren before looking at Eren,"Ah, so you swing that way then? Just a heads up, there are not a lot of homos here, in fact the Society as well as everyone else sort of looks down on it because of some shit dealing with not being able to produce, least to say I suggest you keep that piece of information to yourself, yes?"

"Oh so it's just like normal human society? Joy. You don't seem disgusted on the fact that I'm gay though," I said a little surprised and hopeful that perhaps the raven "swung" that way to.

"Should I be? If you haven't figured out by now, I don't really conform to society brat, I don't think it's disgusting, it's perfectly fucking acceptable," the raven said as he locked his door before turning and walking to the cafeteria.

I quickly followed him because, to be honest, I didn't really know the cafeteria was yet, and he was the only friend I had here….if you could consider us friends.

Levi's only indication of knowing that I was following him was by simply slowing down his pace, allowing me to catch up to him and walk to the side of him.

"I really hope you make some friends brat…"

"Why?"

"I'm not someone you should associate with brat," he admitted.
"Why?" I pressed again.

"You and your damn questions, how was your nap brat?" the raven asked, effectively avoiding my question and changing the subject.

"Fine…how did you know I was napping, are you secretly a stalker?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as we passed a group of vampires on our way to the cafeteria. I noted the vampires gave us disgusted looks and held their noses as if we smelled bad. I shot a glare at them while Levi kept his eyes forward, ignoring them, but also grabbing my arm to keep me moving.

"Educated guess. You looked about ready to pass out on the shitty floor after the tour," was the raven's response.

"That sounded poetic, and what the hell were those guy's problems?" Eren asked, still a little pissed at the vampire's reactions when they passed them.

"Ignore it brat, it happens on a daily basis and they do it to every werewolf that they see. Not all are prissy ass bitches but most are. I suggest you just keep your eyes forward instead of trying to pick a fight, do I make myself clear?" Levi said, walking through the lunch line, his eyes bored, unaffected.

I sighed and nodded, also going through the line but stopping when I realized I had no idea where Levi went. I sighed and walked around awkwardly, feeling much like the new kid in school, trying to find a place to sit.

"Awww is the puppy lost?" a vampire crowed out loudly in the cafeteria.

I shrunk down self-consciously as the vampire group began to laugh with some fairies, witches and warlocks.

"Awww look, I think he heard you, I can see his tail tucked between his legs," one of the fae added.

That's when an annoyed Levi appeared, taking my arm and dragging me to the table he was seated at without a single glance to the assholes.

"Honestly brat, what the fuck am I going to do with you? Ignore those stupid fuckers alright, eat you damn food," the raven muttered, pushing Eren roughly into a seat before taking his own to resume eating.

"Sorry…" I said after a few moments later.

"For what?" the raven asked, shoving a piece of steak in his mouth.

"I made you angry…"

"No you didn't, what are you talking about?"

"You looked pissed when you had to "rescue" me from those assholes jabbering," I explained.

"I was pissed at them, not you brat. Would you like me to be pissed off at you?" the raven asked, back to his bored state after calming down a long time ago.

"No sir."

"Good. And don't call me sir it makes me feel old."

"Yes…okay."

We spent the rest of supper in silence, Levi, waiting for me to finish up before walking over to the entrance to wait for me as I put away tray. I walked up to him, confused as to why he didn't start walking ahead of me.

"Alright brat, show me that my efforts in showing you around weren't for nothing, show me back to our rooms. Think you can handle that?" Levi asked, his eyes narrowed slightly in a challenging way.

"Y-Yeah…yeah I think so," I muttered as I walked ahead of him, I could hear the soft sound of his feet gliding gracefully over the floor behind me. I managed to get to the commons area where the building split off into different departments of the building and walk into the right one, past the announcements board and to our rooms with no problems at all thankfully. Alright that was a lie, I nearly walked into the girl's dormitory in which Levi "kindly" reminded me not to go in there, but nonetheless we made it there with only one mistake from me.

"Well…I guess you retained some of the information I gave you today, but if you don't have this whole place memorized in a few days I will personally beat this shit into your head until it is your native tongue, understand brat?" Levi said, glancing over at me, his tone showing a slight sense of approval which made me feel all fuzzy and warm inside, even if he did just threaten to beat me up.

"Go the fuck to sleep, I'm going to have you bring me to the training grounds tomorrow after breakfast, and no worries I'll wake you up. Just don't expect me to be like your fucking mother or something alright," Levi continued, unlocking his room door and going inside without another word.

"Alright….t-thank you s-Levi," I muttered, not sure if he heard me or not. I unlocked my own door and went inside, picking up my neglected comforter and wrapping it around my shoulders again. That's when I noticed the notebook, and I picked it up. I flipped open to the first page and wrote in my first entry, which you guys already know.

So that's how I came about this journal and even though I really hate writing, I decided why the fuck not? Erwin gave it to me for a reason right, and I was shit at drawing so that ruled that option out, so writing it was. Hopefully by writing, I'll be able to cope with this new situation I'm in, I doubt it but it's worth trying. I wonder what training is going to be like, or if I would truly learn how to control this whole "beast" inside of me bull shit, with that thought in mind. I'm going the fuck to sleep. Night journal. – Eren Jaeger
