I was in complete shock.

No. This was wrong. If my mum was the Luna's sister then why was I here. Why wasn't I living with them?

My mum. Rosalyn. That woman in my dream was my mother. No wonder I felt a connection to her. Wait where is my mother now?

"Where is my mother now then?" I asked not sure if I was ready to hear the answer. "She died 18 years ago." I inhaled deeply and released it slowly trying to get a grip of myself.

"The night you where born, your mother sought us out. She came running to our door step with you in her arms, wrapped up tightly in a blanket. Your mother and I were best friends when we were younger. She new that I couldn't have my own children.

She handed you to me telling me that you were no longer safe with her. Before she left she gave us a letter that had your name written on it. Inside was all the information we needed to know before we had to burn it. That was the last time we and anybody else in the pack saw her. The next day was the ceremony, the day your mum was to become Luna but instead Eleanor became the next Silver Moon's Luna. She told the pack that she had been killed by vampires the night before. Everyone was surprised because we all thought your mum would be our next Luna. Everyone loved her, but when Eleanor heard that no one thought she could be a Luna she forbid anyone of speaking Rosalyn's name and those who did would be punished as unloyal to the pack."

"But where do I fit into this, what does this have to do with me?" I asked not sure what I had to do with everything, especially becoming a Luna.

"Lara your mum was the most powerful Werewolf I had ever met, she was born to be the next leader of our pack, not Eleanor. Every first daughter of your bloodline is the most powerful child, they are the ones who must become the next Lunas. That is why our pack hasn't had an Alpha before. But since now that tradition has been broken our pack has grown weak. We are no longer able to defend our territory from vampires and hunters like we use to. That is why you Lara need to claim your rightful position as Luna of the Silver pack and challenge the Luna before it's too late. Before the Vampire clan wage war against us."

"But how do I do that, she is stronger and older then me. I could never beat her?"

"That why Rick has been teaching you how to fight your whole life. We knew that once you turned 18 you had the right to challenge her. He was the only one who knew about your secret. Your Luna powers will grow the more you use them. Trust me Lara you will be one of the most powerful wolves in the Silver Moon pack."

"Wait Rick knew about all this?! And I didn't?!"

"Sweetheart your mother and I weren't allow to tell you any of this until your 18th birthday as much as we wanted to. We had strict orders to wait until you Luna Wolf woke up." My dad finally spoke up as he put his hand on my mothers- Helen's shoulder.

"What about my real dad?"

My mother shook her head.

"We where not given any information about him." My she said in a sad voice.

I looked down at my hands which seemed to be shaking.

"You guy's where never my real parents." I whispered my thoughts without realising.

"Oh baby, you will always be our daughter no matter what, just as we will always be your parents" she said just as a tear ran down her cheek.

I wanted to feel anger towards my parents but I couldn't, they had risked and done so much for me.

"Does Luna Eleanor know about what I am?"

"She knows of your existence but our pack is very large so she didn't think much of it. I think she thought that you died along with Rosalyn. But we had to keep your real identity a secret because otherwise you and anyone who knew of the real you would have been killed.

So I just told everyone you were my daughter and since all pack members smell the same no one could tell."

All this Luna staff was over crowding my brain. I needed to get out and go for a run.

As I grabbed a couple of clothes to change, my mum asked worriedly "Where are you going?"

"For a run I need to think. This is all new to me."

Before I could hear her response I bolted out the door and made my way to the woods.

I had no idea where I was going but I just let my feet guide me as I felt the fresh cool breeze brushing against my face.

I could feel my wolf dying to come out.

Run, my wolf said excitedly.

I quickly stripped and hid my stuff behind a bush.

I leaped into the air as I felt and heard my bones shift into place before I landed on all fours. It felt so good to finally be out.

Something felt different but I shrugged it off and just sprinted as fast as I could. The sound of birds chirping, bee's buzzing around me and all the different smells felt relaxing. I was so relaxed I almost got distracted and chased after a rabbit. I could also hear in the far distance cars speeding down a busy highway as humans went on with their lives.

For some reason when I ran, the trees seemed to be zooming passed me much faster then normal. My jumps seemed to be larger then normal, my smells and hearing were more acute too.

Could this have something to do with my Luna powers my parents told me about?

After following the sound of a river, I reached it. I felt so much better now.

I dipped my head and drank a bit of water. When I looked at my reflection I was so surprised I yelped and jumped back. I saw an orangy- brown wolf.

I still had my amber coloured eyes but they seemed to glow so beautifully.

When I turned around to look at my fur for the first time since I had shifted I saw orangy- brown instead of the normal light grey. I also saw the small silver moon marking on my hip.

I was so surprised.

I was a unique orangey-brown.

I had heard that all first born Luna's where browny- red or orange when they first shifted but I had been a light grey when I first shifted, not this.

All this Luna stuff was weird. I seemed to be different to most other Luna's but I didn't know why. I hadn't been born with a mark, I had been a different colour when I first shifted and most Luna's didn't have a full moon as a mark. I had to ask my parents when I got home why I was different compared to the other past Luna's.

As I got back to the spot where my clothes where, I heard a howl in the distance. It was Luna Eleanor, she was calling for a pack meeting. I heard other small howls follow hers and soon enough I joined in too.

Pack meeting , I felt my Wolf say.

I shifted back, quickly changed and then jogged back. I had a feeling that I would have to keep my Luna powers a secret for now.

No one can see my wolf form. Luna Eleanor would find out and I'd probably be killed.

I don't want to put my loved ones in danger.

I had to stay hidden and not draw attention.
