A wish to live or die

The Rise Of The Ugly Luna

Syra Tucker

Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone-including her own mate-she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed-a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous-he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.

Sienna's POV

"She went this way!" Someone yelled, running through the woods.

I kept running, ignoring the branches and tall grasses hitting my body. I panted, my feet getting tired.

I was tired, but I couldn't stop. If they caught me, then I was as good as dead. I rested behind a tree, trying to catch my breath.

"I see her!" One of the men shouted.

"Shit!" I groaned and continued running.

Please help me. Moon Goddess. Please. I didn't....I can't anymore. Please.

A sharp thorn from a plant scratched my knee, and I yelped.

"Goddamn it!"

"Find her!" One of the men yelled. They were closing in on me.

I needed more time. I couldn't face them. They would kill me.

"Dear goddess, what do I do?" I murmured, and closed my eyes for a second.

I transformed into my wolf form, it was the best chance I had now and I opened my eyes.

My wolf was a bright red with white undertone fur. My wolf was bigger than the regular teenage wolves and I started to run, howling with the moon.

Half of the men picked on my scent and they transformed also, dashing through the forest like mad animals. They were the Midnight Syndicate assassins. Some were humans, and the others werewolves like myself but they all had one thing in common. To get my head.

I should have never been found this quickly. I had been very careful, making sure to never stay in one place for more than a night. Yet, somehow, they had tracked me and worse I was weaker because of my monthly flow.

Someone must have betrayed me, but who?

I had cut all connections.

Who could have done this to me?

Their howls grew louder, making me shudder as I pushed forward.

I can do this. I just have to make it to the border. Faster Sienna.

They kept gnawing and I was beginning to lose my pace. I noticed them catching up by my side, snarling their teeth ready to dig into my skin.

The other men followed in their bikes.

How did they...?

My heart raced with fear and I charged myself to run faster.

Moon Goddess. I need help. Send me help, please. If you can hear me!

The men laughed, driving their bikes. "We've got you now."

One of them neared me stretching his hand to grab me and I snarled. He chuckled, and aimed again. When he couldn't get me, he brought out his gun, cocking it.

I had to act quickly.

Think, Sienna. Think.
