I didn't know where I was going. I just wanted to run. To run and run and never look back.

Ana, what the hell happened back there?!? I screamed inside my head.

Stella, you awakened your powers. Your powers are triggered by your emotions and until you learn to control your powers, you need to keep your emotions in check.

Ana, I'm scared.

I know.

Also, what the hell happened with "Alpha" Adam? Why didn't he snap back at me?

Stella, our father was an Alpha. You were his first and only born child. Since he's dead, and now you've been awakened as a werewolf, you are going to start developing your Alpha powers.

What? I'm an Alpha, too?

Yeah, we are. Female alphas are very rare but not impossible. Also, the Moon Goddess is like the ultimate Alpha. And we're her daughter.

So does that mean we're like, a super Alpha, then?

Pretty much, Stella. I heard Ana laughing heartily in the back of my head.

I was still running, slowly calming down from talking to Ana. I was running so fast, faster than I think normal wolves do. Probably a werewolf thing. I dodged a tree running a million miles an hour and crashed into something else.

I heard a yelp and then a growl. I looked up and saw a midnight black wolf staring at me and baring its teeth.

Ana, what do I do?!

What do you think? Growl back and establish your dominance!

I can't do that!

Fine. Then you have to let me take control, Stella. Let me in.

I let Ana in and I could instantly feel the dominance and power radiating out of my every pore. We growled viciously and I saw our white fur turning black. The midnight wolf looked on in surprise and backed down.

Then I felt a strange sensation. I felt like my head was opening, like gates being opened for the first time.

Ana, let me back in.

You sure, Stella?

Yeah. I can take care of this now. Thanks.

Ok. I'm here if you need me though.

Thanks, Ana.

After I tuned Ana out, I honed in on the other feeling.

Who are you? A deep voice growled inside my head.

Someone you shouldn't fuck with. Now back off and leave me alone. I growled right back with more dominance than he did.

You're the one who crashed into me.

Sorry. Deal with it.

Who do you think you are?!? His voice in my head was getting angry. I am the Alpha's son! I am next in line for the Alpha position.

Of who? The MAP?

The wolf looked taken back.

How did you know? You aren't in my pack.

Because your father already submitted to me. Now back the FUCK OFF!!!

I snarled as viciously as I could.

The midnight wolf shrank back visibly.

Are you the Moon Goddess?

I shook my head no before turning and running back to the house. The house came into view and I really wished there was a way just to get into my room without pawing at the door.

You could always jump, Tatiana suggested.

I thought about it before letting her take over. She pushed the wolf to a very high speed and jumped with all of our might and we landed on a piece of roof. We slipped a little before stabilizing ourselves and walking over to my bedroom window. Ana looked around to see if anyone was watching before letting me shift back.

I slid up the window and hopped in. I just grabbed underwear, shorts and a hoodie before going downstairs. I saw Cole standing by the kitchen counter and I ran up to him and hugged him. He turned around fully and hugged me back tightly.

"What's happening to me?" I started crying on his shoulder again. I could feel my skin crawl so I took a step back and saw everything was tinted blue. I looked in the hallway mirror. It was just like when I was angry except now my hair, eyes, and skin were tinged blue with despair and my skin was turning cold as ice as my fingers literally frosted over.

"Sweet pea. Look at your neck," Cole said. I moved some of my blue hair and gasped at the strange anomaly that manifested itself onto my skin. It looked like a star in the crook of a crescent moon.

"It's your mark. It shows everyone who you are. The fanciest I've ever seen a mark was the crescent with the initials of the marksman," Cole said.

Great. Now everyone was going to know I was some 'Star Goddess'. Fucking great.
