Under The Moonlight

Elena's POV

I was sitting in my room preparing myself to leave in the last few minutes when I heard a knock on the door. I couldn't stop wondering for advance because I wasn't expecting anybody.

I was brushing my hair so I put the brush down on my dresser and I went to open the door. I didn't you expect to find the person I was seeing, especially since he snapped at me earlier on.

"What do you want?" I asked him and went back to brushing my hair.

"I came to let you know that the others wont be joining us, most of the Luna's want to experience the turning with the Crescent pack." he said.

"Fine." I said without turning my head to look at him. I've only been released for a few hours but I was already enough of seeing Jonathan's face.

Natalie came in here on to check up on you and she asked me how I managed to get out of the dungeon without a scratch. I thought about lying to her but I knew that it wouldn't do me any good because they were going to find out very soon anyways.

I always knew that it was only a matter of time till people found out that I had been released. Natalie is my best friend so I am glad that she came to see me.

I told my friend that Jonathan agreed to a fight but that he had conditions of his own when he did that and she asked me what the conditions were and I told her that he asked me to marry him if I lost to him.

she couldn't understand why I chose to agree to such because she thought that there was no way I could win against him. This is the second time they are telling me this and I can only wonder how strong Jonathan really is.

She told me that if I could change his mind then I probably should and just accept the proposal without the fight, she said that Jonathan was ruthless when he was in combat and that the fact that I was a woman wouldn't change anything.

This means that Jonathan won't hold back when we fight and honestly I prefer it that way but he was right I cannot fight in front of the pack. I had to agree to a private fight with only a few people to witness it.

It would seem that everyone had the same thoughts when it comes to the fight and they all think that I am going to lose, basically I had already lost the fight before it even happened.

"We are leaving in ten minutes, I'll be downstairs waiting for you." he said.

"Fine." I said and stood up. "I am ready, we can go now if you're also ready." I said.

"Alright then, shall we?" He asked me and I nodded my head and went to the door. I left my room and went downstairs, Jonathan was walking behind me every step.

I was a bit nervous about tonight because I didn't know what to expect out there, they probably do your things their own way just as much as I do and I can only wonder how different things are with them.

"So what do you do when your pack turns?" He asked me.

"Everyone usually goes deep into the woods and run free, my father and I would usually go our own way and hunt." I said.

I don't know what I said but I can tell that whatever it was made him happy because he had a smile on his face, a little boy smile but he looks very cute.

"What?" I asked him.

"I am glad you said that you used to go hunting with your father, I used to do the same with my father. " I said.

"Jonathan I have to tell you why my father took me hunting.." I said and bowed my head in shame.

I would often like to convince myself that the reason my father took me with him was because he wanted us to have a special time together but I know that it would be a lie.

The truth is that I am different. I am not like the other girls as I might have powers that others don't and when the full moon comes and I turn, something happens to me. I didn't understand it at first but my father always knew.

when I turn my eyes glow a different colour from those of the other wolves and not only that when I turn, I get a blood thirst rage and I can't control myself. My father has always thought that I was a danger to not only myself but everyone else around me, so to avoid my blood rage he would take me hunting.

"Can't it wait?" He asked me.

"No it can't..." I said.

"Fine, we can talk on the way." He said and took off his shirt. His jeans were hung low on his waist and I couldn't keep my eyes away from him. He had muscles, his biceps were big and he had a six pack.

If I didn't know better I would say that he was a model because right now he looks like one. I then realise that Jonathan is very handsome and that I couldn't see that because I was filled with so much rage and anger before.

"So are you going to tell me why your father took you hunting on a full moon?" He asked me as we walked towards the woods.

"Jonathan I don't know how to explain this to you but something happens to me when I change into my werewolf state and it's not a good thing.

I sometimes don't have control over my wolf and she sometimes does things I wouldn't normally do so I have since learnt that this could very well be dangerous to those around me.

it's like I have a blood thurst and the only way for me to get over it is to kill something and have its blood, that is why my father taught me how to hunt." I said to him.

I wanted to be honest because I wanted to fight fair and I had to give him a fair warning about tonight, it is only going to be the two of us this far in the woods and he needs to know that he might be putting himself in danger.

I have often admired how many people can control how they change and they can also control their feelings when they change. I wish I could say that I was like that but I am nothing like that and I don't want to wake up in the morning no memory of what happened the night before only to find that I had somehow killed Jonathan.

Jonathan might not be the of the Crescent bloodline but he was their Alpha and if I somehow killed him I know that my head will be on a spike. If the council doesn't kill me then his father will and my sisters will suffer dearly because of it.

"Are you telling me that you actually fear that you might hurt me?" He asked me in surprise. I can't say that I blame him though because I haven't exactly been subtle about how I feel about him.

"Jonathan I fight for honour, where is my honour in killing you when I won't even be able to remember what happened?" I asked him.

"You blackout?" he asked me.

"Yeah, especially when I go through a traumatic experience. " I said.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." I said.

"Okay, don't say that I didn't warn you." I said and walked deeper into the woods, a different direction from were the others were heading to.

I guess what after I told him he also thought that it would be best if I was away from everyone else. I can only hope that tonight I can be able to control my werewolf because I don't want to lose control.

"So are you really serious about this marriage thing?" I asked him.

"Yes I am, I told you that it's what I wanted, it's what the pack needs." He said.

A few minutes later we were all alone in the woods and we couldn't even hear the other wolves when they howled anymore. I watched Jonathan as he shamelessly started to undress.

"Hey, did you forget that I was here?" I said and turned my back.

"Come on Elena, I am sure you have seen a naked man before. " He said and I felt myself flush. I didn't answer him. I looked around and saw a big tree. I didn't care if he had seen a thousand women before me but I wasn't going to let him see me naked.

I have never been with any man before and I never thought that I would find myself in this predicament that I find myself in right now. I don't think I am comfortable with having to get undressed in front of Jonathan.

"I'll be right behind that tree." I said.

"Fine, suit yourself. " He said and I left him to go and undress behind the tree where he couldn't see me.

I took off my clothes and went on all floors. I could feel my bones restructuring themselves. I felt the cold breeze and closed my eyes. A few seconds later I felt warm and opened my eyes. I looked down and saw paws covered in white mane instead of my feet. Not only that but I didn't feel like killing someone.

So it looks like I was going to be able to control my werewolf for once. We are one but sometimes my wolf has a mind of it's own. I couldn't wait to see Jonathan's wolf.

I strutted out off behind the tree and went to Jonathan, he had also changed and I couldn't believe my eyes. He was huge, he was a wolf a size of an adult bear. I now understood why they said I couldn't beat him.

"Are you okay? You look like you have seen a ghost." He said.

"I am fine..." I said.

"Good, now let's go hunting..." Jonathan said and ran into woods, I followed him and ran behind him. He was big, he looked strong and he was fast, how the hell am I going to beat this guy?
