Chapter 8
The full moon
Clarissa
The human I just bump into looks familiar but I don’t seem to remember where I met him, werewolves have retentive memory but something seem to be blocking my ability to remember where I met this human boy from, then he started asking some questions, in as much as I wanted to answer but I was careful not to blow my cover in the human territory, after the conversation I hurriedly left, and went back home, I finished what I was doing earlier, then I sat down and kept thinking about the fate of me and my baby, I missed the pack a lot and I’m going to deal with this pregnancy alone, well time past and Jericho was back home with his kids, I asked him about his wife and baby he said they are fine, his wife wasn’t around so he asked me to help him make dish, I made a werewolf meal, I can’t make a human dish yet, fortunately Jericho and his kids loved the meal, john asked for the name of the dish, but Jericho interrupted on time, he knew that the meal must have been a werewolf meal, but the kids doesn’t, he asked for my plans and I told that I’m ready to work, he said I could wait a little longer since his wife just gave birth, it will give me the opportunity to adapt more to the human world before I go out there.

Werewolves are known to be very powerful and loses control if we fail to do our ritual during the full moon, this ritual is simple its just transforming into a full wolf and going under the full moon to reverence the moon goddess by calling out to her, in this ritual the Alpha goes to a top of the mountain to lead the ritual by howling. Then others will join, and tonight is the day of the full moon.
I have called Jericho previously to tell him about the full moon, I really don’t know the full moon have effect on him, he told me that he just know that the during the time of the full moon he do have more strength but outside from that he haven’t noticed anything about it, he told me that his mother had died when he was young, so he doesn’t know much about the werewolf tradition, I told him that I need were I can perform the ritual without drawing the attention of the humans, he said he will look into it.
Today is the full moon, and its about 5:00 pm when Jericho rushed back from work, he told me he had seen an abandoned warehouse, in a faraway place, he asked me to dress, he told the wife that I was sick and we were going to the hospital, so we left, after few hours’ drive we arrived the location at about 10pm, he took me into the warehouse compound and locked the gate, I checked carefully if he will see a human nearby, after making sure that the place was secure we sat down till the time of the ritual which starts about 12:00am (human time), the full moon was out, my power starts growing and Jericho was far off looking at me, he is actually kind of scared of what may happen, this is his first time witnessing a werewolf ritual, and a werewolf transformation, at about 12:30 (human time) I have fully transformed and I started hollowing.

I was scared at first because I have never witness a werewolf transformation, neither have I witness the ritual, I’m werewolf have breed, but I have lived my whole life around humans, so I was alert if anything gets out of hand, humans see werewolf as animals, for the other supernatural (witches and vampires) they see as freaks, being with the humans all my life had made this stereotypes to rub off on me, I know I’m partly a werewolf but I have not been with any one of them, so I see myself as more of a human than a werewolf.
At about 12:00am she vibrated and told me that “it has just begun”, I left where I was sited, and moved afar away, there I sat down and watched from afar, she faced up was staring at the moon, by 12:30 am she transformed to a full wolf and started howling, after transformation I was so amazed, she actually transformed to a white wolf, her claws was sharp and brown in colour, her hair was kind of long, her teeth was white in colour, her tail was well designed, the church has seen super naturals as evil, and children of the falling angels which has made me feel like I was just a normal human being, but after seeing Clarissa transform I just wish I could transform myself, she stared at me and after a while she looked up and started howling, the sound was much, I just prayed that no body hears the sound, she kept doing this for like three hours then she stopped and transformed back to her human form, I ran to the car and get some new cloth for her cause she has turn the old ones when she transformed.

When the ritual was going on, I saw something like an inscription on a wall, “THE TIME OF THE PROPHECY HAS COME”, in the werewolf race we believe in Prophecies and it has always come to pass, but these prophecies are shown to the elders, THE ELDERS is like a cult, the give us the prophecy as shown by the moon goddess, and the make sure that all packs adheres to the instructions of the moon goddess to avoid calamities, THE ELDERS unifies all the werewolf packs, and the moon goddess chooses them herself, after the ritual I was and what I saw, I transformed back and lied down in a way they Jericho could not see my full nakedness, while he went to get some clothes for me to put on, I was there thinking of the inscription on the wall, “what prophecy was it talking about? Why did I see it? I’m not part of the elders, how do I let the elders know about this?” these where the questions I kept asking myself, Jericho came and gave me the clothes, he turned back and I dressed up, we went to the car and he drove off, he started asking me how he could transform to a full wolf, I told him that it’s a natural thing, “transformation is not something that can be forced, every werewolf can transform when the come off age, but the issue is that a half breed doesn’t transform” I said “haven’t a half breed transform before? “he asked I told him that it has only happened once, he said that it means he have hope, we kept talking about how a wolf pack is like till we reached home.
