Chapter 1 - Once Upon A Time…NOT!
Do you know the stories of werewolves? Beings that shift into wolf form on full moons with no choice in the matter. Where their animal instincts take over with bloodshed inevitable? Those are true...well, everything but the full moon bullshit My name is Amberle Crest, I am supposed to be a Beta or a Head Tracker due to my bloodline but you would never know. I come from a modest pack, Forest Paw. Stupid name I know, but it is situated in the middle of the forest in north western Ontario close to a place humans call Sauble Beach. The thing about my pack was that it was a family, people loved you no matter who you are or what happened. Everyone is family and we help each other in times of need, or so they say.I have never had any sort of family relationship past age eleven. The only familial love I gained in my life came from the Alpha, Blue. He treated me like family when he did not have any meetings or pack business that involved him to travel. When he was out of the territory my life was a living hell. Since I was eleven, I knew a lot about how a pack could turn on you, even at a tender age. It was a horrible experience. I was eighteen when my life finally took a turn for the better after crashing around me in a painful twist of fate. But before I get ahead of myself, how about I start from the beginning?

Chapter 2 - The First ShiftSNAP I whimper as my bones break and realign themselves. I remember waking up feeling sick, mother and father saying I could stay home from school for the day. About an hour ago I went to the kitchen for a drink and that’s when it happened, my ankle broke on its own and I let out a blood curdling scream that had my parents running to me. It was then we realized I was shifting. "She's only six! She shouldn't be shifting till she is sixteen!" It was my mother, her voice laced with fear and worry. I knew that the fever I had been experiencing since last night was now not a cold or flu. My body had decided that now would be the time I would shift into my wolf form for the first time.SNAP cry out, my voice mixing with a howl. How could anyone expect a six-year-old to handle so much pain in one go. I know the risks of an early shift. Father made sure that we knew that the shift was a painful process and reassured
The Rejected Lunas Chapter 3 - The Accident
Chapter 3 - The Accident Soon after my first shift, I was sent to training. Special wolves who shifted early are sent to train with three things in mind: speed, stealth, and self-defence. We’re smaller than the wolves that usually had their first shift at sixteen years old, which is why we’re taught how to be fast and silent but also how to defend ourselves. We are considered an “elite wolf” meant to serve a higher purpose in our pack. At sixteen, we could choose to either become Hunters or Trackers. If we end up being strong enough, we could be the leaders of our pack like a Beta, Second Beta, Head Hunter, or Head Tracker. I personally am eyeing the tracking spot just like Mother—the fastest Tracker in our pack. I could already be considered a natural. My body, although small, is faster than most sixteen-year-old shifters. I can easily keep up with older wolves and hide my scent even better. My mother always takes Mia and me for extra training because Mia seemed to be the only one b
The Rejected Lunas Chapter 4 - Years of Agony
Chapter 4 - Years of AgonyFourteen Years Old I groan as the banging on my door continues to resound within my room. I knew it wasn’t Blue because he was on his business trip, and it couldn’t be Axel because he and Serena were also on said business trip. Today is also Saturday, so there is clearly nothing important for now. Even training is off for today since the Elite members of the pack were away. I just wanted to sleep all day. Finally, the banging stops and I find the comfort of my warm bed in the still silence. Soon, I return to blissful sleep. I jerk awake, gasping for air as the chill of ice-cold water snaps me away from dreamland. My pyjamas stick to my skin while my eyes frantically search for the culprit until I see Mia snickering a few feet away, with Leo smirking beside her. One of their lackeys—a Hunter-in-training named Adam—stands at the foot of my bed laughing and clutching a bucket that I assumed the ice water came from. ‘Of course, they would start their shit.’ I
The Rejected Lunas Chapter 5 - Three More Days
Chapter 5 - Three More DaysThe shrill sound of my alarm clock has me leaving my dreams to face a cruel reality ‘Another day in hell.’ I think as I fling back the covers and try my best to deal with the stupid alarm clock Blue gave me. When I hit ninth grade and started high school, he realized that I had a habit of sleeping past the ringing of my usual alarm clock and sleep in past my first class. It’s why he gifted me this amazing alarm clock—note the sarcasm. I hate this thing. In order to turn it off, I had to enter in a passcode, and my semi-awake mind rarely got it right on the first try. After what I assume to be three minutes and ten attempts at turning the device off, the stupid alarm stops, and the clock left me with silence. Did I mention that I hated this thing? With a sigh, I knew I had to start getting ready for school. Surprisingly, even though I slept in a lot during grade nine, I had managed to pass that year with an eighty percent average, and since then kept my
The Rejected Lunas Chapter 6 - The Full Moon Rejection
Chapter 6 - The Full Moon Rejection Wakey, wakey, Amber, and happy birthday, sweetie...The voice floats through the air as a remnant from my dream, and a soft smile graces my lips. The light from my window illuminates the picture of my parents on my desk, and I am reminded of my dream last night. In it, they were beside me as I blew out the candles of my cake, wishing me a wonderful birthday. I haven’t dreamt of them like that in years, and a small sadness settles in. But today is Monday. It also meant today is my birthday and that I’m now considered an adult. I could finally live my life my way without the worry of Mia and Zack trying to control me. Today will be a good day, and to top it all off, there will be a full moon tonight.The shrill of the stupid alarm rings, making me groan. I forgot that Monday also meant school. With a sigh, I sit up and fumble with the alarm clock. All I know is that when I graduate, the first thing I’m doing is smashing this thing with a s
The Rejected Lunas Chapter 7 - Time Slowly Heals
Chapter 7 - Time Slowly HealsThe smell of freshly cooked pasta slowly fills the kitchen and extends into my living room as I pull a dish out of the oven and scoop a generous heap onto my plate. I do a once-over of the kitchen, making sure the oven and stovetop were off and that the dishes were in the dishwasher, ready to be cleaned when I’m done eating. I grab a bottle of water from my fridge and make my way into the living room. With a plate of food in one hand and the TV remote in the other, I settle into the plush sofa and surf Netflix, trying to find something entertaining to watch with my meal.It has been three months since I left my old pack—a decision I do not regret—and I had been lucky enough to find a house that the realtor described as a “mini-mansion” just inside neutral territory but hours away from Forest Paw. The best part about this place is the large greenhouse that I began using right away to grow fruit trees and vegetables. Since being rejected and becoming a rogu
The Rejected Lunas Chapter 8 - Dealing with Beasts
Chapter 8 - Dealing with Beasts The night is eerily silent while my feet carry me through the tree canopy. Nocturnal animals were hidden away, causing dread to swell inside me. With how quiet it was, it meant the situation with the Soulless is worse than I thought. As I cross the northern border to the Blood Moon Pack territory once again for the night, the signs of struggle slowly grow below me with my eyes scanning the forest floor. You could usually sniff out the foul stench of a Soulless before you see them. Carefully sniffing the air, the scent of decay and rot reach my nose, causing me to feel woozy. I couldn’t help but use my black scarf to cover up my mouth and nose to rid of the stench I breathe in, stopping to lean on a trunk for support. I hated this stench.The sounds of growling reach my ears, indicating that I am close. I continue forward, making sure that the stench is filtered so as not to get sick off the scent of the Soulless, and continue to keep an eye
The Rejected Lunas Chapter 9 - Saving an Alpha
Chapter 9 - Saving an AlphaI waited for the next wave of attacks as the three Hunters circled around me. The leader of the Soulless group waited patiently in the background as large snarls are directed at me. I thought the Hunters would be the easiest to deal with, but it’s clear I was dead wrong. The Hunters were far more organized than the Trackers. Clearly, they had planned out their attack on how to wear me down. I hated it.The next wave starts, and I grin, this time prepared for their attack. I watched each wolf carefully, waiting to see who would go first. It seemed like everyone’s patience is wearing thin. The first one to make a move is the black wolf to my left. He leaps at me, his body high in the sky and I drop to my knees, my throwing knife cutting deep into his belly. He hits the ground dead, black blood pooling around his corpse.The second one runs at me, her fury escalating from the sight of the dead Hunter behind me. I guess those two were close. As the she-wolf get
