Dark Moon Daughter

CHAPTER 01 – THE DISTURBING DREAM

Tevena’s POV

I was in the same place of the deep dark wood. I don’t know how I came here. Every day, the dream started from the same place. I have never seen this place, I don’t know whether this kind of creepy place exists in the world. Even in dreams, I feel the spine-chilling of this place. I was peeking hiding behind a huge tree. Initially, the tree was unclear to me, but now I have identified it as a Southern Red Oak tree. The specialty of this tree is that it was symmetrically divided into two parts vertically one part of it was white and the other part of it was orange mixed with red.

Does this kind of tree exist in the world?

I was looking at the lake and as usual, a white glowing thing was lowering towards the lake bank from the sky. It was like a round unclear thing wrapped with a glowing mist. The round thing that landed on the river bank slowly started to take different shapes and it was finally standing up taking a final shape as a woman with long hair. Her back was visible to me and she was doing something from her hands towards the forest of her right side. It was like she signaled to something or someone to come out from the forest.

From the forest side suddenly, a large wolf emerged bowing its’ head towards her! I heard someone whispering to me, “It’s not the time yet!” I was confused about who it was and I looked here and there to find no one when I turned my head to look at the lake bank both the wolf and the woman were looking at me.

“Huh!” with a panic I jumped back and I heard the alarm ringing hard. Groaning from the bed I forward my hand to pick the alarm and shut it.

When I woke up my whole body was drenched with sweat. It was 6 in the morning. I opened my eyes and looked at the roof of my room. This vivid dream started exactly two weeks ago and I understood that within another two weeks, I’ll be turning 18. In the beginning, the dream was not clear, I saw it with all the blurry pictures, but day by day it started to give me clear pictures of the dream and today it was one step ahead from yesterday.

I am confused about why am I seeing the same dream over and over again. I didn’t share this with anyone else. In the beginning, I thought that it was nothing other than a crazy dream, but now I understand that there is a meaning. The alarm disturbed my thoughts again and lazily stretched myself to get down from the bed to hurry for the school.

It’s a Friday, the weekend is coming and I feel so much freedom thinking about the weekend. I was planning to go for a day out with my besties Cassia and Jasper. I blushed when thinking about Jasper because I have a secret crush on him. I have known Jasper for the last three years and he is already 18, I am soon turning 18 and I hope to reveal my heart to him on my birthday.

Before the mother’s alarm rang from the kitchen I rushed into the bathroom for a wash. I changed my clothes and put on a pair of cotton trousers and a tank top and on top of the tank top, I put on my sweater. The winter is coming soon and it’s already the outside was chilling.

I took my backpack and walked downstairs. The aromas of mother’s food made my tummy growl.

“Good morning my sweet little daughter. You are on time today, what’s the reason behind this?” she showed a little surprise curving her lips and arching her eyebrow.

“Good morning to my beautiful mother and it’s Friday, that’s why I am so happy today and tomorrow we have planned to go for a day out” I hugged her from behind and rested my chin on her shoulder.

“What are you making Mother?” I saw that she was making pancakes for breakfast, but still I asked.

“Don’t you see my child!” She turned the pancake to the other side after turning them into golden color and they were finely cooked.

“Where’s the father?” I asked when I didn’t see him, but I saw his used plate was still on the small round dining table gesturing that he already finished his breakfast.

“He went to see Alpha to talk about the food supply to us,” Mother said keeping the pancake plate on the table.

“Mother, why did the father always want to talk to the Alpha about our issues? Why only father? I mean hundreds are living here and no one was bothering to talk on behalf of the humans” I put a pancake in my dish and took an apple to have with it.

“Someone needs to speak for us, and I am proud that dad taking the initiative, Alpha is not a bad one. We can see and meet him anytime” she smiles gently.

“Alpha means…..”

“The newly appointed one, Theron Hardolf, the son of former Alpha Clifton Hardolf” I nodded silently trying to finish my breakfast quickly.

The new Alpha was appointed last week and the reign of his father was over to the Crescent Moon Pride pack. We all participated in the Alpha ceremony and what I heard was that the new Alpha was going to be paired with another pack’s Luna. I was not interested in the wolf business so I didn’t go to gossip about them.

I finished my breakfast and took my backpack pack giving a goodbye hug to Mother I took my foot cycle to ride towards the school. The school was not too far from our land. I don’t know the boundaries of the territory of these lands what I know is the school was the last thing in this land. Acres belonged to our pack and for centuries the humans and the Crescent Moon Pride wolves were living in the same land peacefully. Alpha’s first rule for the wolves is to treat the humans peacefully and equally.

But Alpha’s second daughter the third of the family who was in my class was not finely treating the humans. Her ego being born into an Alpha family was too much to bear for us. but her twin brother was not like that. He is nice and helpful to everyone. I wonder sometimes how twins born at the same time can have this much of a different character. I rang the bell on the way I met to greet them.
