#moonbiting

Chiara was restless, and she couldn’t stop the anxiety brewing as she sat on a log a ways away from the clearing. It had officially been two years that she had been with the pack, and she didn’t regret a second of it. They were her family. Which was why it was so surprising that she felt like this. She missed her parents and her siblings, and she hated the feeling. It made her feel guilty. It made her feel like she was betraying Greyback and the pack and she couldn’t do that. It was all their fault that she was like this. Why hadn’t her parents just given her over to him when he bit her? It would have saved them all so much heartache and pain. If they had done the right thing instead of trying to make her normal than she wouldn’t have had to live with all of the pain and secrets and lying. Her life would have been simpler.

She nearly growled when she heard the snapping of a twig behind her. Of course someone had to come find her. It was probably Scarlett, who she adored, but she wanted to be alone. Was that so hard? She reached up angrily to wipe away at her face. Stop crying.

“What?” She snapped, refusing to move or look at the approaching figure. “I said to leave me alone, Scarlett.”
