My hurricane Luna

Chapter 3

Rylee POV

   My family and I spent the rest of our Friday unboxing everything and getting our home in order. We ordered pizza for dinner so we could eat and still work at the same time. By now we had moved into our rooms and were unboxing and organizing our stuff. It was 1 am and I decided to grab more pizza while I organized my closet. As I was grabbing a drink from the fridge I heard a weird noise outside. I stepped out into the back yard that faded into a pitch black forest. Looking around I didn't see anything or anyone. I stepped out farther and looked at the night sky, you could a million stars. The cool air felt amazing on my skin. I stood there just staring at the sky taking deep breaths. "This is nice, peaceful." I said out loud. I turned and headed toward the door. Just as I opened it I heard a twig snap behind me. I turned and saw the biggest wolf I've ever seen. I was frozen to the spot and couldn't seem to get my feet to move. I locked eyes with it as it moved closer to me. It got close enough that i probably could have reached out to touch it. It lifted it snout in the air and sniffed. Locking eyes with me again, it pulled back it lips and snarled at me turning to run back into the forest. I turned around and headed inside. Finally breathing again.

    After an hour or so i was finished with my room and finally crawled in bed to sleep some. Around 10 am Ryder came in and jumped on me. I groaned and pushed him off my bed with a thud. "Lets go sis, we are waiting on you. Gym time." I stretched and literally rolled out of bed. I landed on my stomach groaning and got up and headed to my bathroom. After doing my business, I went to my closet and got dressed. Running down stairs to fill up my water and grab a banana. The family was out the door. 

    When we got to the gym it was an ok busy. The tour showed us where everything was and giving us basic information like hours and policies. Our parents signed us up as Ryder and I jumped on a squat rack to start. From squats to hip thrusts, to now dead lifting, it was so far good. The gym got weirdly quite. I was adjusting my straps and lifted, seeing out of the corner of my eye i saw a group of guys walking our directions. Paying no attention to them i finished my set and sat the weight down. Undoing my straps as I stood to meet eyes with The guys from yesterday. Aiden, I think that was his name stood in front of the others. Towing over us. He growled, like literally growled and said "mine" while keeping his eyes on me. I couldn't help it, i rolled my eyes and said "you can have the rack when we are finished. Its called patience."

He looked taken back and actually moved to a different rack and every so often looked at me. I got his looks a couple times as we finished up. We walked in to the cardio theater room and started to run. It was about 5 min before they showed up. Aiden took his shirt off and hopped in the treadmill next to mine as I was running when I saw him start too. I was trying to focus on the movie playing not this Greek god running next to me. Yes he was an ass hole but that didn't stop me from thinking how hot he was. My mom came and got us to head home. We stopped and I turned at meet his eyes. I never backed down. So I locked eyes and stared for a solid second before walking away. I kept my face emotionless even though on the inside my stomach was flipping. Ryder saw the interaction and was smirking as we left. "Not a word there buddy or ill hit you." I said walking to the car. "Schools gonna be fun on Monday" We got in and I forgot we had school. Just what I needed. I didn't mind making friends this semester as long as they knew I wasn't giving up my dream to go to college play volleyball and get my education. 

    Sunday was a lay day for our family, we didn't roll out of bed till around noon. We stayed in our pjs the whole day. It was nice sometimes boring but knowing tomorrow we had school and we had to at least adapt to this new life... I wanted to hold onto my old life as much as possible. Ryder came into my room and flopped on my bed. "I am bored lets go explore the forest since you know its right there." I was standing at my dresser organizing it more when I looked out the window at the vast green. I remembered the Wolf i had seen and s hiver went up my spine. "Pass bro, you saw how big those wolves are." He groaned "Its day time they wont be out right now, and even if they are we will see them sooner than if it was dark." I rolled my eyes. "Fine 15 min and then we come back, and we see them I'm knocking your ass down. We both may work out together but I'm still faster." 

    We walked and talked for a few minutes in the forest enjoying being outside. "So you going to try to be friendly at school or you gonna sulk and be a bitch till you graduate." My jaw dropped. "Wow so blunt you jerk. But no I plan to be nice and try to make some friends. Maybe I find the volleyball crowd show them some videos of me and see if any of them are going to college too to play." I shrugged. "What about you nerd boy?" I teased my brother. "I might try to hang with the tough guys." He said flexing his muscles like a body builder. I started ;laughing at him but it was cut of my the sounds of howling. We both wiped our heads around looking for where it came from. Ryder had his back to a couple huge boulders and as he started to walk toward me 4 giants wolves came over the top and started down at us. Ears were back, ridges up, lips pulled back snarling at us. Their fur was mated and dirty looking like crusted mud. We slowly moved back not taking our eyes off them. The biggest one that was grey lowed down the boulder and stalked us. I felt tears roll down my cheeks. "Ryder" I whispered. The wolf lunged to us as we screamed and ducked waiting to me bitten or mauled we only heard sounds of snarling and jaws clamping. We looked up and several black wolves came from behind us and attacked the others. We looked at each other and took off running back to our house. I kept looking back to make sure Ryder was still there. I noticed one of the wolves got away and was chasing us down he was to basically be on top of Ryder. I turned heel and ran back toward him as he lunged for my brother standing the way so he could get away.

    He landed on me as we both rolled backward. I turned onto my front looking around as the world spun and made me dizzy. I could see the wolf stand and stalk toward me. It didn't need to run, it had me. Ryder stopped and was coming back toward me "GO!" I screamed for him to get back to the house. The wolf getting closer as I tried to crawl away from him. A black wolf jumped in front of me snarling at the other. I could see blood on his front right leg. Ryder came behind me and started to pull me up and away. We began to run as I stopped after about 10 feet and hid behind a tree,  I watched as the wolves fought the black one clearly stronger. It didn't take long for him to kill the other ripping its throat out. I fought the urge to puke on the spot. "Nature doesn't mess around" I thought to myself. I watched the black wolf as it looked around before the others showed up. I figured they were part of the same pack and maybe these others wolves were on their territory. Don't wolves mark by peeing like domestic dogs do? Wouldnt the others know they were on another area? I looked back as I heard popping noises. I kept from screaming, cause I didn't feel like dying. Alistair's and his sons. Standing there, naked, they were the wolves. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I backed away slowly not making a sound. I was terrified. As soon as the urge to scream was gone I turned heel and sprinted home. I was sure they heard as I did, but I didn't care. I ran till I was in view of the house. Ryder outside looking for me. I ran till I fell into my brothers arms crying. 

    What did we get ourselves into.
