The Double Moon, Amber Riel [books for new readers .TXT] 📗

moment to jump in.
“We'll stop her,” he said.
Millie turned to see Kyle. For the moment she spent talking to her deceased parents, she hadn't even sense that he was there.
“We know what needs to be done and how to stop her.... We'll deal with her and Christina, but Vickey can wait.”
“I don't think so,” Charlie answered. “You might need to deal with them at the same time.”
“What's that suppose to mean?” Millie asked.
“Wait for the double moon,” Kelsey told her. “There's always two sides for everything.”
Kelsey and Charlie slowly disappeared. The light vanished and darkness appeared. Millie thought about what her parents had told her. She was confused. She looked up into the sky and seen that the moon wasn't there. She knew what the double moon was. The double moon was half there and half gone. She couldn't understand why her mother would say something like that.
Kyle pushed himself off of the tree and walked over to Millie. He placed his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him.
“I don't understand,” she told him.
“You'll figure it out. We need to get home. James is going to kill you.”
“I don't care about him.”
“Well, everyone else is probably wondering where we are. Come on.”
Kyle helped Millie make her way through the grave yard. They were walking into the town to get to the woods. Everything looked peaceful and the town was quiet, expect for the crickets. It was kind of strange that the crickets were out during the winter, but it wasn't something to worry about. The streetlights were the only lights that were on.


They walked into the woods, when they heard a couple of humans walking into their home. Millie stopped in her tracks. “Do you hear that?”
“Yea,” Kyle answered. “It don't sound good.”
“I think that one of the stories that I told Vickey is happening. Let's go stop them.”
“Alright.”
They didn't know what was going on, but they knew that it was something that would make a mother's heart race. Unspeakable Cruelties

Millie and Kyle hid in the bushes as they watched a forty-year-old man with a young six-year-old girl walk into the area. The sight angered both wolves.
“I knew it. Humans are idiots. We need to get out there and stop that evil human. Humans make me so mad,” Millie told Kyle.
“Come here, little girl,” the sick grown man said.
“Gladly,” Millie said as she jumped in between the man and the child.
The man was shocked but then smiled at Millie because he had a child and a teenage girl for his evil plan.
Kyle walked out from behind the bushes. He stood next to the child.
The man stopped smiling because he had a teenage boy to deal with and he didn't want to do what he was planning on the boy.
The little girl looked at Kyle and Millie. She knew what they were and why they were there because she was told about them, but didn't think that they existed. Millie and Kyle didn't know that the little girl's parents considered the werewolves to be the heroes and heroines. The little girl knew that they were the heroes of the woods and the guardians of the town.
The man, on the other hand, was new to the town. He didn't know anything about the werewolves and had no idea that the two teens weren't humans and that they didn't stand for humans breaking the law.
“So, you came into the woods with a....” Millie turned her attention to the child and then to the man. “Child?”
“She's my.... Niece,” the man lied.
Millie could tell by the man's voice that he was lying. “I don't believe you.” She looked at him. She was serious as she spoke. “You can tell me whatever you want, but I don't believe you.”
The man laughed.
“You're a forty-year-old man and you plan on doing something unspeakable to this....” Millie looked at the child again and then back to the man. “A baby.” She pointed to the child, ticked off at the man. “You plan to kill her after that.”
“What are you going to do? Call the cops?” the man asked.
“No.... Did you see those signs that are posted up that warns you humans not to come into the woods? Oh.... Wait.... you humans are so dumb that you can't read.”
The man was now mad and confused. He had no idea that Millie or Kyle could tear him to strains if they decided to. “What are you talking about? You're a human as well young lady.”
Millie and Kyle locked eyes. “It seems that this man don't know that we're not humans,” Millie told Kyle as if the man hadn't said anything.
“I agree.”
Millie looked back at the ugly, old man. “Try and straggle me.”
The man was confused but he held out a hand as he made his way to Millie. He only needed one hand to snap her neck and leave her for dead. His hand was almost to Millie's neck, when Millie's right hand grabbed his arm and stopped him.
Her nails dug into his arm drawing blood. “So close,” Millie told him in mocking words. “Me and Kyle over there aren't humans.... We're real, live, werewolves.” She smiled. “And you're trespassing in our woods.” She lost her smile and started growling. “You brought a baby into our woods to ra.... To do something unspeakable to her then to kill her.... You don't come onto my territory and try to do something terrible.... I could break your arm, but I'm not.” She threw the man into a tree. She threw him into the tree hard enough to knock some sense into him. “I want you to go and turn yourself in to the cops or I will throw you into a brick wall hard enough to where you wish that you were dead.”
The man could see that Millie wasn't joking, when she started walking toward him.
Kyle stayed next to the child.
The man stood up and started walking away from them.
“Leave and don't ever come back,” Millie threatened the man.
The man tried to run away but he tripped over a branch.
Millie watched as the man vanished into the dark, snowy woods. The little girl ran over to her and surprised Millie by hugging her.
“Thank you,” the little girl said in a sweet voice.
Millie looked down at the human child. She didn't realize that there were humans who actually really cared and thanked the wolves for the protection that they were there for. Millie's heart was torn into a million different pieces because of the humans. She didn't know how to react toward the human child. She almost was going to cry but held back the tears.
“You two are two of the heroes of the woods and two of the guardians of the town.... My parents were right.”
Kyle was as shocked as Millie. Neither of them knew that there were humans outside of the ones they had known who had shown them kindness. The child had known about them as heroes and not as monsters.
“We need to get you home,” Kyle told the little girl, breaking out of the shock.


James was getting frustrated because he couldn't find his headstrong, stubborn niece anywhere. Kat and Champ had made things worst for James. "Okay. I don't need to deal with you right now,” James said, pointing to Kat.
“What did I do to you?” Kat asked.
“Well, for one you're alive....”
Kat's mouth dropped. She was now starting to get angry. She went to say something but Champ stopped her.
“James.... I know that you don't approve of me and her dating, and I understand that you don't like Kat, but like I tell Millie, please try and get along with her.” Champ was the peace maker. He didn't want to deal with the fighting especially with the other wolves and his girlfriend. He did his best to reason with James.
“Don't speak.... You shouldn't be in the pack anymore.” James turned his attention back to the cat and to show her that he meant what he said to her, he spit on her.
Kat was ticked off. “I can't believe that you would do something that cruel to someone.”
“What was that, a challenge?” James asked.
Kat was about ready to attack the old wolf but Champ held her back. “Let me attack him.”
“He will kill you. I don't want anything to happen to you. I love you too much to let him harm you.”
Kat relaxed at Champ's words. “I love you too.”


Stina was in the kitchen. She watched Lacy bake some cookies. “So, why can't I use the oven again?”
Lacy looked at Stina. She couldn't believe why Stina would even ask that. “Because the house burnt down.”
“Oh yea,” Stina said, smiling. “What happened to the house again?”
Lacy looked at Stina again. She couldn't believe how Stina had short-term memory lost, when her memory was fine.
Someone knocked on the door.
“Stina, will you go answer the door?”
“Yea.” Stina started to say, but stopped at a mirror. “Hey, a mirror.”
“Stina, go and answer the door.”
“Okay.”

Is Millie a Good Leader?

Stina opened the door and found Lee standing outside with a bunch of red and white roses. “Is Lacy here?” Lee asked. He was dressed nicely with his hair slicked back.
“Yea. Come on in. I'll be right back.” Stina turned around as Lee walked in and closed the door. She started to head toward the kitchen. “HEY, LACY! YOU'RE BOYFRIEND'S HERE!” She called to her cousin.


Millie and Kyle were almost to the cottage when they heard someone following them. They stopped and Millie didn't have to ask who it was, she figured it out. “Well, you found me,” she said, sarcasm in her tone.
“I can't keep an eye on you if you sneak away from me,” James told her in a stern voice.
Millie rolled her eyes. “Whatever.”
“James, go easy on her,” Champ said. He had left Kat in the city because he needed to talk to James about how he should treat Kat. “She's had a hard life.”
“You need to shut up.... You may not be dead to the pack, but you
