REBORN UNDER THE FULL MOON

In 1993 I was born and raised in a pack called moonlit to be precise it's one of the peaceful little cities led by my father an Alpha whose name is Zeus killed by a rival pack due to certain jealousy and enviness to our resources.

Along the line I became the first Alpha female, the strongest luna in town who seeks justice to the lives that were lost.

The Rogue pack are known for their ruthlessness and lawlessness; they enjoy invading people's territory and forcefully taking charge of everything.

This pack was led by Ryker, an Alpha I must kill in order to avenge the death of my father and my pack member who lost their lives in a battle, fighting for what belongs to them.

My world was destroyed, lives were stolen. I could hear the cries of innocent souls crying beneath the ground seeking justice.

The first battle led by me in confronting Ryker and his pack was brutal. Everyone around me died mysteriously.

I was their last hope but it ended in pain. We were defeated, immolated. The last thing I could remember was sharp teeth and claws piercing my skin. I could see my lifeless body on the ground.

Which signifies the fact that I was Dead. I found myself in another world, a place strange to me. I could hear the rustling of leaves with a decompose smell plastering my nose.

"Everything here is strange, what's going on?" I mumbled beneath my voice.

Still wandering around I scanned through a distance as I saw a strange figure calling out my name.

"Lyra!! Lyra!! Lyra!!".

I clamped my hands over my ear, kneeling in distress as the name continued to echo piercingly in my mind.

I saw the figure approaching my scene and suddenly she held my hand and whispered softly to my ears.

"Do not be afraid I'm here to give you life, a life full of abundance".

"What life are you referring to because I already have life in me that's why I'm still breathing".

"Say no more Lyra, you're in a strange land, the land of the dead where life is given. I was summoned here to help you".

At this moment I became flabbergasted, taken aback, standing here in stunned silence as I gazed at myself trying to figure out if I'm still alive.

"Does it mean I'm dead?".

"You will understand soon when you return to the land of the living".

I kept wondering what I'm doing here, an empty strange land with a scary atmosphere, before I noticed I was struck by lightning which I gasped on a bed.

"No!! Help!!" I sneezed in fear as I saw myself surrounded with some strange faces.

"Welcome back to life...She's alive!". One of them said as others joined in their celebration.

My eyes were dim and my sight became blurry trying hard to assimilate things. I became weak and couldn't fight back or rescue myself from these strangers. I touched my chin. It was quite different from my previous look.

The voices continue in their celebration with songs and jubilation. I became angry which made me scream in anger.

"Stop!!!" I covered my ears with my hands as their sound reverberated in my mind. The whole place was quiet; it was as if a king just gave an instruction.

They stood still looking at me in surprise.

"Miss, what's the matter you should be happy you're back to life" one of them said with a smile.

This triggers my thought pondering on the fact If I was long dead but couldn't remember what my previous existence was like.

"Hello Miss, do you know why we are rejoicing?"

"No I didn't, may I know the reason for this?"

I asked in anticipation as I sat down looking at them instead of an answer they kept on dancing.

"This is becoming irritating". I stood in anger. It was as if I was being played or a fool. No one was able to tell me the reason for my existence.

I clenched my fists in anger, grabbing one of the men who paid no attention to my question. He didn't understand what was about to happen.

"Excuse me sir".

He turned around just as I tapped his left shoulder. To his surprise I struck a heavy blow on his face.

He fell to the ground while others watched in shock at the funny scene I just created.

In a moment of silence I heard the footsteps of a figure approaching in my direction. Her presence was commanding, creating a demeaning atmosphere. I could see everyone bowing their heads to the ground.

"All hail the queen".They all chanted in unison the phrase echoes repeatedly growing louder and louder as their voice rose in fervor.

At first I thought I was being celebrated for my actions. I chuckled Contemplating maybe they could make me their leader.

As the figure finally approached my direction then I realized I wasn't being eulogized; it was someone else they were referring to..

"Hello Lyra, welcome to the land of living you've traveled through the afterlife. I thank our queen mother who has spared your life by giving you a second chance".

"Who are you and what are you talking about?".

"I'm Aria the witch doctor who summoned her queen mother to give you life".

"Your queen mother?".

"Yes, my queen mother, she is a healer, our protector, the one who you met in the afterlife, she is the one who we served".

"Well, I see, so what does this have to do with me? I guess I should start going. I don't belong here".

As I was about to leave, her words drew my attention. I felt like I was being magnetized to the ground.

"Lyria! Do you remember you were killed, you were dead but now reincarnated".

I became surprised, gasping heavenly that she could see my fear and my worried look.

"Don't be scared, follow me, let me show you more about yourself". She said but I have no choice but to follow her instructions, not minding what's ahead of me.
