The Young Luna

Chapter 2

My parents had to stay behind to talk to the Alpha, and my brother disappeared to do god knows what, so I decided I had enough time for a quick visit to the skatepark. "Hey losers, we going skating or what?" I asked my friends.

Dom, Jared and Chris all turned to face me. "You heard the Alpha, May, we have a curfew now" Dom frowned.

"Don't be a pussy, Dom" I rolled my eyes at him, the other boys laughed at me.

"Hey, I'm not a pussy" Dom snapped back, "but some of us aren't the Beta's daughter".

"That just means she's going to get in more trouble, not less idiot" Chris hit back. I pumped my fist with Chris, as we laughed at Dom. Dom turned almost as red as his hair, as he narrowed his eyes at us.

"Fine, let's go. But I'm not going for long" he finally caved. The boys and I laughed at him, before heading towards the skatepark. Jared had a spare board in his car, like always, so we stopped by his car first so I could grab it. We then made the ten minute walk over to the nearest skatepark.

"Oh no, looks whose here" Jared commented, nodding to a group of other teenagers hanging out on one of the ramps.

I groaned, "great, just what I need". Sitting on one of the ramps was three older boys that went to my school who'd bullied my friends and I since we were about twelve. I got the brunt of their teasing as they went to my school and I was the only girl. I couldn't wait until someone in my friends group Shifted and could beat their asses once and for all, but until then we couldn't do shit.

"Ah look who it is, Marty" the main asshole, Todd, snorted when he noticed us. They all walked over to us. Todd and Marty were twin brothers – equally as mean as they were ugly. They hung around with two other guys, Mac and Josh.

"It's the bum fun gang" Marty laughed with his brother and friends.
