Prologue

I gazed up at the star filled sky then back down to the ground. Blurry shadows walked passed me constantly, their faces unclear to me. My vision was fuzzy. My tear filled eyes left me blinded and confused.

A gust of cool air blew through me. I wrapped my arms around me tighter. This was my fault! I mentally cursed myself for not being here. I should have been here with her.

My dog ran from the front door and brushed her body against my arm. Her black fur teased my chilled skin. Needing the comfort, I ran my fingers through her thick hair. Feeling a hint of moisture, I pulled my hand away, coming across a spot of blood she may have gotten on her.

Frightened, I pulled away. I rubbed my hands against my jeans.

"Drea?" Excitedly, she ran to Brent, obviously ignorant of the current situation. He walked with her, keeping her busy so she would not need my attention.

Whispers. Mumbles. I could hear them talking. About what? I'm unsure. All honestly, I did not care what they were saying. Why? Because they had just as many questions than answers just as I did.

Many had come to help. Some had gone to take to the trees and town in search of her. I, powerless and in pain, stayed on the stoop of my steps, my mind left to wander.

I could hear little footsteps before a warm present sat next to me.

"Why would they take her?" I looked away from Jess. I had no real answers to give.

They left nothing. Not a note. No item. Just the unsettling yet lingering smell of a vampire's stench that only they could smell.

"Where is Jason?" She questioned his whereabouts. I don't know. Wondering the same, I looked around at the many pack members who had come to assist.

I leaped from the step and walked down the pathway.

"Where are you going?" Jess called out but I ignored her. I ignored the men and women that questioned my destination. I ignored the eyes that showed me pity.

"Luna?" A few whispered to stop me.

"Just...leave me alone." I mumbled under my breath.

I walked down the sidewalk, ignoring the eyes that were following me from the thick tree brush. This was their duty. To keep me safe. What about my mom?

Someone tugged at my sleeve. I pulled away, signaling them to leave me alone. Someone tugged once more. Anger brewing in me, I spun around, ready to rip this person a new one.

He looked down at me. Sorrow and pain hid behind his green eyes. I pulled away however he refused to let me go like the others did. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me deep into his chest for comfort. Stop! As much as I wanted to shove him away, as much as I wanted to yell and scream at him, I was incapable of denying the fact that I needed him more than ever....
