Moondust Novel – The interviewer sat in front of me. Smiling nervously. I gave her an encouraging smile. I get this a lot now that I’m a famous super star. I’ve been in the biggest blockbuster/ awarding winning movies, made Grammy awards winning albums, successful business woman. I am world’s top bachelorettes. I am an iconic as my best friends say. I have everything I’ve ever wanted but, my life it wasn’t always like this. I never thought that I would become what I am now. People tend to think like that when they been constantly put down their whole life. “Channel Dela Rosa I’m so sorry I’m nervous…its just I’m a very big fan.” Says the interview getting all giddy and she blushed. “Thank you.” I smiled kindly. I love people like her.
They are the reasons I’m doing what I love the most. “Okay let’s start with the questions.” She says. “Okay you have been in the headlines for quite a while. It seems like the whole world can’t get enough of you they want to know all about you and who you are more as a person.” Oh yeah I see where this is going. Typically I never talk about my family or just my younger life in general. It’s not people of a time I want to remember. “So can you tell me a little bit of your parents?” She asked. Those people. Ugh I’m just going to avoid that one I smiled. “I have an amazing father figure Dean. He’s been there and I love him and my mother figure is Lorena she’s awesome.” I say. “What about your real parents?” She pressed on. “Who?” I said. “My parents are Dean and Lorena.” They were the ones that believed in me on my rise to fame and guided me. Unlike my real parents West and Sandra. After that question she kind of got the gif that I didn’t want to be asked personal questions about the past. And started to ask about the my next movie role and my upcoming album. “You did amazing sweetie.” Says John my make-up artist as I got to my hotel room. Daliza my manger walked in talking on the phone.
“She scheduled to play in Coachella next week.” She says sitting down in a make-up chair as her assistant gave her a drink. “Yes she’s playing the biggest stage. She the one the people want to see… I don’t care about that, she can’t play at your daughters party just because you are the king of a country. Come Edgar I told you to delay your daughter’s birthday two weeks that’s the only way I can fit you in her schedule.” Oh King Edgar has been begging Daliza to have me play at his daughter’s party but he asked to late. I’m in a tight schedule already at the studio, Coachella, awards season is coming up and red carpets. Daliza Smiled. “See it wasn’t that hard was it.” Says Daliza hanging up. “Looks like you’ll be playing at her birthday within the next two week.” “Girl I’m so tired.” Says John taking my makeup off to redo it. “Aren’t we all.” Says Lucy my hair girl. “Well that’s show business it never stops.” Says Daliza texting on her phone. “Thank god tonight is the last concert of your tour.” Says John doing my make-up. Usually I would be already at the stadium but due to the interview I’m a little delayed. Josie walked in a hurry with my outfit to change into so can get to the stadium ready to go. Josie is my assistant. She handles my personal emails and makes my life a lot easier. “Here the outfit and your Starbucks.”
She says handing me. “Oh your dad Dean texted you to call him. It’s urgent.” Josie hands me my phone. Hmm urgent ugh he must want me to cook the turkey with mom this year. I got away with just cooking mash potatoes last year and I didn’t even cook them I made Lucy and Josie do it. Ring Ring Ring “Channel?” He says in relief. “Hey dad.” I say as Josie massaged my right hand. “Honey I have bad news.” He says. “What happened.” I say not really caring. “Your father West is terribly sick. The Alpha of the pack and your family have been calling me and trying to reach you. They have been calling every day. Your father wants to see you.” He says. “Like how sick?” I asked. I didn’t know how I should be feeling. Why would they call it’s not like they ever cared about me. “Like deathbed sick.” Says my dad. I sighed. “What am I suppose to do about that?” I asked I looked at Josie. “Hey can you give me a foot massage.” “They want you to go and see him one last time.” He says. “Well that’s unfortunate because I’m very busy at the moment. I have a concert tonight, tommorow I have photoshoot for Moon Magazine, then I have millions of interviews, red carpets, plus I have Award season to worry about.
So tell them I’m booked.” I say looking at my nails. “Channel it’s your father.” Says Dad. “I know. Okay I’ll see about that later but I have a concert to worry about so I’ll call you or mom later.” I say. With that we said our goodbyes and hung up. “What was that about?” Asked John. “Apparently my semen donor wants to see me one last time before he dies.” I say. “What happened to you that you hate your family.” Asked John. “Yeah you never talk about it. You left the wolf pack and that’s all we know.” Says Josie messaging my foot. “Gosh your feet are so suckable.” “It’s a long story.” I say signing. “Come on tell it.” Says Lucy. “We won’t be done soon anyway.” It looked at all of them. “Alright fine.” Ten years ago (15-year-old Channel) “Channel hurry up.” Yells my brother Levi. I sighed as I put my Yoda shirt on. I walked downstairs. Everyone was already seated in the table my older sister Amelia and my older brother Levi. My mom and dad glared at me. “Why are you always so slow.”
Says my dad shaking his head in disappointment. This always hurt because I’m always trying to get his approval which is hard since I’m like the packs joke. I’m the only one that hasn’t shifted. And I don’t know why. My brother says that I’m a freak and that I’m going to end up like those people that don’t have a wolf that come from two werewolf parents. My brother also tells me about how much the wolfless are burdens to the family and stain the family name. Which hurts to hear. One time I heard my mom and dad taking about how embarrassing it is to have a child like me who still has yet to shift. I even heard my brother and sister tell my parents for them to drop me off to a human orphanage. “Mom and Dad today I have a date with Roman.”
Says Amelia getting all excited. Roman Anderson he’s the Alpha’s son. I’ve seen pictures of him when my dad and mom are invited to the Alpha’s home for dinner. He’s hot from what I’ve seen. He’s been sent of to train to become Alpha away. The Alpha and Luna usually go and visit him. And he’s like seven years older than me. The the same age of my sister and brother. They are twins. Amelia is the favorite in everything. She’s the pack popular girl. She beautiful. Her wolf is so beautiful to. I’ve heard about Roman coming to the pack to stay for good. Which has everyone all giddy. Mom and her friends are hoping that Amelia could be his mate. They were all taking about how great it would be for her to be the Luna of the pack. How no one is better for the job than her. The whole pack loves Amelia. I envy it at time. I want to be loved to. Instead I get pushed around by everyone including my family. “That’s great honey.” Says my mom pecking Amelia on the cheek.
“Are you even his mate?” I asked. It caused Amelia to turn to me and glare at me. Her mouth made and straight line. “So what if he is or isn’t?” She asked me. I sat there quiet. I had no idea what to say. It was just a simple question. With that she got up from the table and left to her room pissed. “Now look what you did.” Says mom glaring at me going after my sister. “You even caused breakfast to be ruined.” Says my dad standing up and going after my mom and sister. It wasn’t even that serious. “Levi take Channel to her school.” Says Dad not looking back at me. “God.” Says Levi annoyed. I sighed. I get sad. It’s not easy being unwanted. When I got dropped off at school. My only firend Myra was standing outside. She’s also an outcast. Her mom and dad are omegas of the pack. Which to me equals a slave. They are usually maids or servers to the pack.
Myra smiled at me. “Hey Channel.” She says. “Is that a new jacket?” I asked. She nodded. “Mom and I found it at the thrift store.” She says. Loving her new jacket. All of Myra’s clothes was all from the thrift store and she loved it. I love how humble she is. “It looks really nice.” I say. “My mom saw Roman the Alpha’s son in person.” Says Myra. Nobody has seen Roman in a while which is kind of exciting. He’s like a mystery. “Really?” I asked. I’ve never meet the guy but I seen him in pictures. “She says more than once.” She says. “The first time was when he came back from training and he has been seen around with his father a lot since he will be taking over the pack and the company. Also she seen him when he was taking to Amelia your sister.”
She says. “Mom said he so handsome and she so beautiful and sweet that both would make a perfect pair.” I pretty sure the Luna invited Amelia to introduce them to eachother. Amelia is the Lunas pet. “Yeah I know they must have meet. She came with the news that Roman invited her on a date and got all up in arms when I asked if he was even her mate.” I say as we got to our lockers. “Well maybe-” Her sentence got cut short when Pipper and Pepper bumped into us. They were the schools popular girls. They laughed as the walked by. “These freaks of nature.” Present time “So your parents along with the pack always treated you like the ugly duck?” Says John as he finished spraying my face with setting spray. “I would love to hear more but we to get to your last concert.” Says Daliza as Josie helped put up my back Zipper. Lucy did her final touches. “Channel! Channel! Channel!” The crowd cheered my name. It always made me feel good. “Time to shine.”
Says Daliza patting my back. “Sold out show.” “Channel!” Channel!” I hear my fans yell out. I walked out onto the stage. And god it felt great. “Channel Dela Rosa I’m so proud of you.” Says John hugging me as today I finally finshed touring the world. It was so fun performing everywhere. Everything felt bittersweet. I was going to miss the people that made this tour amazing as it was. “You are amazing.” I couldn’t wait to start working on my new album. Daliza walked in the room smiling at me. “Finally we are done with the tour life.” She says yawning. “I don’t know about you all but I’m going to bed. Remember Channel you have a photo shoot tommorow.” With that she get outs of my pent house. Now it’s just John, Lucy and Josie. “Girl we need you to continue this story.” Says Lucy. “Oh yeah I did promise you all. Okay where was I?” I asked. “Where you and your firend were always bullied by Pipper and Pepper.” Says Josie. 10 years ago “Freaks of Nature.”
Says Pepper as she laughs with her friends walking away from us as it we were trash. It was degrading the way they treated us. I couldn’t do anything because I haven’t shifted so that makes me almost as weak as a human. They could easily snap my neck. And Myra couldn’t do anything she can get her parents treated badly. “How can those girl be mated to the schools hottest guys?” I asked. “I know.” She says sadly. “How’s your brother?” My brother? Why would she be asking about him. Wait…wait…wait She just shifted last week and she’s been acting weird lately. “Are you mated to him?” I asked. She paled. I couldn’t believe it. Then why hasn’t he introduced her to the family? “Why didn’t you tell me right away?” Myra started to tear up.
“Because he doesn’t want me.” She cries. “He rejected me.” I mean I knew Levi was a prick but I didn’t he would reject his mate. The one that was made for him. They are mates. Aren’t mates suppose to be together forever? I rubbed her back. “I hoping that he would come to his senses and accept me. I can’t help that I was born into an Omega family.” She says. “He stupid if he does not realize what an amazing girl you are.” I say. I heard of cases where mates do reject eachother but that’s rare in the werewolf world and it’s looked down upon. Mostly mates are seen a blessing from the other side. Why would anyone want to reject that. Levi must be joking. Myra is an awesome person. I hope my mate never does that to me. I honestly have no idea what I would do. “I sent him text, emails and letters but he doesn’t answer back.” She says sitting down on the steps of the school. “He’s doesn’t know how much he’s breaking me.” “I believe that you two will get back together. You two are mates and meant to be.” I says. “Trust me you two will have many, many and many pups and live old together.” I would probably beg my mate to reconsider if he ever did reject me. “Why didn’t you decline the rejection.”
I say. She looked at me confused. “What do you mean decline?” She asked. “Like when he reject you should have told him. That you two are still mates.” I say trying to cheer her up. Her gave me a sad laugh. “Trust me Channel that’s the last thing you are thinking about when you get rejected.” She says. “I heard that he was seeing Summer Davis.” Oh yeah my brother has been around with Sumner Davis. She came to the house three days ago when my parents were on date night. She gave me an ugly look and told my brother right in front of me about how freaks like me should have been aborted. She even said it in front of my mom and dad. And instead of them being normal parents that defend their kids, they laughed along with her. I didn’t like Summer Davis. She very pretty on the outside but ugly and rotten from the inside. When she comes to the house and my parents aren’t home. Let’s just say I can’t sleep because of the constant noise coming from my brothers room. It’s so gross. Poor Myra. “Trust me everything will come around.” I say hugging her. She nodded.
“Thank you for being there.” She says hugging me. “Anytime.” Later that day went pretty normal as i paid attention in school. And did what I had to do. When school was done i waited a whole hour for someone to pick me up but nobody came. So that meant i had to walk home and when i got home everyone was in the dinning room laughing, talking, and eating. My brother, My sister, mom, dad and Summer Davis was there. Speak of the devil. The laughter died once I walked in. I was tired since it was a one hour walk. “Well here comes the freak of Nature.” Says Summer Davis. Which caused my father and brother to laugh and my mom and sister to giggle. “Anyways forget about that thing.” Says my mom laughing. Times like these is when I would love to stand up for myself. Like tell Summer Davis that her eyebrows look a little rough or tell mom to act like a real mom or tell Amelia that no one cares about how much the Luna loves her because I sure don’t. But I know to stay in my place. When i got a plate to get some food. Amelia stoped me. “Excuse me but you won’t be having any of my food. It took time and effort and it won’t be wasted on someone like you.” She says deadly serious.
My mom rubbed Amelias back. My stomach grumbled. I was so hungry. I put the plate back and decided to go to my room but not before I heard what Summer Davis told my sister. “You will be such an amazing Luna. I can’t believe you and Roman pecked.” She says. So Amelia pecked Roman. Lucky her he’s so beautiful. I stay in my room for an hour until I heard my brother. “Freak of Nature get ready for a pack gathering.” I hear my brother yell. Yes that means I get some food. I put on a some jeans and a cute shirt. When I went downstairs. I saw my sister dress all elegant. Her beauty radiated. I wish I could look like her. “You are so beautiful.” I tell her. In which she glares at me. “I already know that.” She says pushing me out of her way. She’s so mean. I would love to be called beautiful one day. Mom made me take a picture of her, dad, my sister and brother. I wasn’t included. I never am. When we got to the gathering. I went straight to the food section.
This place was packed. The whole pack is here to celebrate the home coming of Roman. I waved at Myra as she was serving the food. “Hey girl.” I say. “Hey.” She says sadly looking at my brother who was with Summer Davis holding her waist. Ohh that must hurt. She’s serves me my food. I had to walk away because the line behind. I was going to find a isolated place to eat. I guess I wasnt look around I was to busy looking at the delious food that I bumped into someone. That had sparks coursing through me. I look up and it’s Roman the Alpha’s son. He’s my mate and all my food fell on him. Present time “You are telling me that your whole food fell on him?” Says Josie laughing her head off. “Poor food.” Says John looking sadly. I couldn’t help my giggle at that. “Well can I continue or not?” I asked. Yawning. “Darn it!” Says John. “You need to sleep or else you are going to have major bag under your eyes. We will continue this revelation of the past tommorow.”
“Darn it we were getting to the juicy part.” Says Lucy. “He’s right I have a phototshoot tommorow so I’m leaving.” I say. “I’ll tell you a little bit more in the morning when we are getting ready.” I took a shower and brushed my teeth. Then finally changed into my clothes. I couldn’t help but be thankful for the people that make me happy. “Channel have you thought about your father and going to see him?” Asked Dad as I walked to the photoshoot session with my dark glasses on. “No sorry I’ve been so busy.” I say sitting down on the chair where John and Lucy were already there. I can’t trust no other make up artist other than them. Josie had my drink in her hand. Dad called me to tell me about how the people from my old pack keep calling. I honestly don’t care nor want to go. I don’t think I will. I’m a busy woman. “Honey I keep telling them that you are so busy right now that your can’t find time to go.” Says my dad sighing. “I just don’t like being mean. I can hear how much the people calling voice breaks when I say that.” I rolled my eyes. Nonsense. They don’t care. The photographer and people around where finishing getting the set ready. “Okay Dad bye I’m getting ready I’ll call you later.” I say.
“Alright princess. Remember stay safe.” He saying leaving me to it. “Okay so apparently we are going for a fitness theme cover for the magazine.” Says John looking at the his brushes. “So I’m to have her hair looking wet.” Says Lucy concentrating. “For the first part of the shoot and bring it back for the second part.” “So continue one with the story.” Says John moisturizing my face. “Oh yeah okay.” Ten years ago All my food went on Romans expensive suit. That was least of my worries. He’s my mate. I couldn’t help but be happy. “I’m so sorry Alpha.” Says my mom walking up to me grabbing me by arm roughly. I winced in pain. “Roman.” Says Amelia walking up to him. Her hand went on his chest. “Is this the wolfless girl.” He says looking at me with emotion that I can’t read. “Yeah are you okay.” She asked worried. “I’m fine.” He says walking away. Seeming pissed. He didn’t tell them that I’m his mate. Maybe he’s going to have a private conversation with them about it. It would be weird since I’m fifteen and he’s twenty two. That means he going to have to wait for me to be older. I’m just happy that I know who it is. Then it hit me. I’m mated to the Alpha of the pack. My mother dragged me away from the gathering. “Can’t you just stop being an embarrassment for a minute.” She says slapping me. that hurt.
“That was the Alpha you bumped into. He going to make your sister Luna.” “He can-” I say short by my mother. “Go to the house and stay there.” She says. “Walking?” She can’t be serious that’s a four hour walk and I’m hungry. “Yes walk and go away.” She says walking away joining the pack gathering putting on a smile. As I walked home. I wonder how would everyone react to me being mated to Roman. My sister would freak out but she will probably wait for her mate. Then again I see why she would want to be with him. Roman and his family at the richest family in town also he’s the Alpha. Being Luna comes with a lot of respect from the people around. It’s an amazing tittle to have. Why didn’t he tell my parents right away that I was him mate? Then that probably would have saved me from getting slapped from my mother.
When I arrived to the house. I instantly went to my room to sleep. Only to be woken up by a knock on the door. I open it. It was Roman there. Omg. I couldn’t help but blush. My heart was beating loud and my body tingled. I’m afraid he could here my heart. He’s here at the house. Where are my family. From what I could see he wasn’t with them. So that means they are at the gathering still. “Your name is Channel?” He asked. He looked uncomfortable. “Yeah.” I squeaked slightly. He cursed as he looked at the sky annoyed. “You are just a little girl and to top that off you haven’t shifted yet. You are not fit to be a luna.” He says plainly. “Wait what?” I say confused. Of course I’m not fit to be a Luna. I’m barely fifteen. “I can’t be mated to someone like you.” He says. Okay I’m offended me. “Because I’m Mexican?” I say crossing my arms. The nerve of this man. That’s so rascist.
Present time “Wait you thought he rejected you because you are Mexican?” Says John laughing. “Wait so what I’m hearing is that he rejected you because you were not fit to be a Luna due to you not being able to shift and because the age.” Says Lucy making a face. “I get the age part but he could have waited. Like you were going to get older.” “That’s what I’m saying. Hold up in not done yet.” Ten years ago “What are you talking about. I’m not rejecting you because you are Mexican. But because my family would not be happy with a girl that can’t shift to be my mate and luna.” He says crossing his arms. “So you are rejecting me?” I asked. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. My held my breath. My feeling where being shredded apart. “Do you like my sister?” He sighed picking his nose. “Yes your sister I’m very fond of her. I mean look at her she’s perfect.” He says amazed. “And as for rejecting you I think it’s for the best.” “Please don’t.” I say begging him. “If it’s the age you are worried about. Trust me I’ll grow older. Like believe it or not but, I get a year older each year.” I say choking up. My heart felt like it was breaking. “Look kid. One day you’ll thank me.” He says.
How can I thank him for something like this. He’s my mate. “Does my sister know?” I asked. “Yes.” He says. I knew she didn’t like me. But to be okay with being with Roman knowing he’s my mate. That a new low. “Please don’t do this. I have not finished growing yet. I’ll probably be able to shift by next year.” I say getting on my knees and begging. While tears fell down my face. “I’ve been waiting for you my whole.” “Enough with the tears.” He says. “Goodbye kid.” He says walking away. I stayed on knees crying. This couldn’t be happening to me. This hurts me so much. Something in my heart was causing so much pain. I couldn’t stop. I cried as I walked into the woods for what seemed like hours. It was so dark that only the light was the moon but I didn’t care I wanted to go to my favorite private spot. It’s usually where I cry my little heart out when things get hard. “I can’t believe this happened.” I say to myself crying as I sat on the giant rock. All my despair was coming out here. My sister was okay with my mate rejecting me. She would still be with him. And he’s thinks she’s perfect.
That’s not fair! It’s not fair. I’ve haven’t done anything mean to them for anyone to treat me the way they do. Being born is my only crime. I mean sure. I’m clumsy and trip here and there. My dad tells me I’m good for nothing every chance he gets. My mate rejects me for something I can’t help. My brother treats me like a punching bag. Everyone in this pack and family seems to have it out for me. And I can’t do anything but take it. My life is utter sh-it. Something creaked close to me. I sniffed as I looked around. “Princess you need to stop crying it sounds like a dying dog.” I hear a low voice coming from the shadows. “Who is it?” My voice cracked. A man without a shirt come out of the shadows. He’s was dangerously handsome.
“I’m Alaric.” He says. I saw scars on his body. Is he even suppose to be here? I looked at his claws there were the sharpest I’ve ever seen. What scared me was the blood that was dripping from them. “And you are in my territory.” “Are you going to kill me?” I asked. “Why is a girl like you crying.” He asked. His Deep strong voice was soothing. “I got rejected.” I had no idea why I even told him. His face showed no emotions. “Bury that sadness in the moondust.” He says turning around and walking away. Leaving me on my own. Present time “He sounds hot in a wild way.” Says John. Now that I’m older. He was so hot. “Your mate and sister can suck it.” Says Josie. I laughed. “Yeah.” “Tell us more when you are done with the shoot.” Says Lucy slap on the hip. There sure was more.
