Luna was so focused on escaping the sentries that she didn't notice when she reached the last tree, she fell onto the grass, letting out a scream, starting to roll down a slight depression in the ground, stopping a few meters later in pain. A normal person would have broken a couple of bones, thank the goddess it wasn't. She was still left with her eyes closed when she heard labored breathing next to her, near her temple. The smell of her predestined companion reached her nostrils and her eyes widened, raising her head abruptly, verifying her hypotheses and her fears. 

- OH FUCK! - she shouted seeing Alexsander in front of her, looking straight into her eyes with a darkened face, her mood was visible, angry and disappointed. He thought she would die then and there, he swallowed hard, the next moment they were joined by the two sentries, they positioned themselves behind him. Luna lowered her head in embarrassment - Alex, I'm sorry, he's alone - she was interrupted by a snort from him which led her to roll her eyes - Are you serious? Now you're being obnoxious too? - she raised her voice as he gave a small growl of intimidation, she held her breath. He signaled to her with his head, she stood up, patting her bottom, still sore, he snorted in response, placing his tail on her thigh - I'm moving! Yes! - Luna raised her hands in a sign of surrender, looked at him sideways, seeing him make a small smile, stopped and motioned for her to get on his back - And should I get on? - she pointed to his back, he nodded decisively, timidly climbed onto his back - Explain to me why- you don't have time to finish the sentence before Alexsander started running letting a little cry of surprise escape her mouth, yes I cling to him more, with my wind that ruffled her hair, they passed several training fields, where young wolves were preparing for a new training lesson, the gardens of the pack's home immersed in the colors of the flowers. They arrived in front of an estate or villa, the structure seemed to be made up of many small houses one on top of the other. Luna didn't know how to define it or how to describe it, she was amazed by the enormous structure, she climbed the stairs that led to the entrance, where there was an enormous door. Two figures ran towards her, Sasha and Evangeline - How did you get here? - the blonde hugged her, she bit her lip not knowing how to respond seeing her friends agitated - You made us worry - the omega placed a hand on her shoulder - Thank goodness you're okay - continued the blonde - That being... - he began to touch her to check that she had some cuts made by the monster she faced shortly before, she remained silent, she didn't want to face a discussion that would lead to too many questions. She had let her feelings get to her and was impulsive, again. Yes, he simply remained with his head bowed without looking her in the eyes. Alexsander walked with long strides towards them, transformed again and accompanied by two other boys, a boy and a girl, Luna guessed that they were the sentries who had chased her - Where is the blessed one? - asked the blonde, but bit her tongue seeing her brother's furious gaze on her friend - Now there's trouble - Evangeline whispered to her, seeing the future alpha irritated - Don't worry Luna, if something happens I'm ready to castrate him - said Sasha, she yes he simply nodded - Let's go - Alexsander said through clenched teeth, clenching his jaw and taking her by the elbow, jerking her roughly inside the pack house. He was angrier than the young girl thought - Alex, please slow down, you're hurting me! - he ignored her, tightening his grip on her, her arm began to tingle, she didn't know where she was headed and the boy's behavior didn't help much, the anxiety mixed with worry grew with every step they took, between corridors and junctions she cursed herself. She sensed her partner's aura, it was a mixture of too conflicting feelings and it destabilized her even more in addition to his smell. Her orientation was lost, and everything seemed the same to her, the people who crossed their path did not dare to look up at the two of them, remaining with their heads bowed. 

Alexsander opened a door pushing her in, she entered immediately finding herself with her back against the door, he stood in front of her, with his hands on the sides of her head, looking into her eyes. It was the first time she felt intimidated by someone, if she had had the power to disappear she would have done it willingly at that moment, the ice mixed with her hazelnut - Alex...- she whispered with a lump in her throat - Shut up! - he growled, approaching her face, she gasped, closing her eyes - Explain to me why the fuck you disobeyed me?! Couldn't you have stayed in your place?! - He shouted at her, she trembled for an instant - You could have hurt yourself - he whispered, caressing her face, trying to calm her down, seeing the reaction of the young woman's body. Luna didn't understand why her body once again gave her certain sensations, those sensations, too conflicting with each other, she tried to suppress them feeling too vulnerable - Why should I listen to you?! I'm not your toy - he said sending his hand away on his cheek, Alexsander stopped hearing the tone of his voice - It doesn't mean anything that you are my partner, free will exists and I will use it as I please - he took a I take a deep breath, looking up to look him in the eyes, wanting to use the opportunity to silence his assumptions - I also have secrets like you, why don't you tell me why I shouldn't stay here? Sooner or later I would have come anyway - she pointed a finger at him - How? What would you say? - he widened his eyes at the girl's accusations - What I said - she replied annoyed, crossing her arms over her chest - he looked at her for a few seconds, she had managed to turn the situation around and now he seemed like the big bad wolf. Since he had known and met her one of the first things that Alexsander had understood was the great impulsiveness of the girl in front of her - When would you come here - she raised her chin making a snort - From what I see Sasha hasn't told you anything , before and after the party I will stay here - she looked at him, she understood where he wanted to shift the focus of the conversation - Don't change the subject - she had to know the truth, why she actually shouldn't be there - Because I can't come here, since you are my partner? - - Oh suddenly you're okay with me being your partner - he replied sarcastically, she bit her tongue thinking about the words said before - Answer me - she took a step forward towards him - Wasn't it clear enough? - she raised her eyebrow, in response he sighed, seeking calm - Luna, my sentries saw that you were attacked by that monster - he clicked his tongue - We have an invasion of those things, we don't know how they enter our territory, we are alarmed, and also why I had come to look for the blessed wolves - he approached her again - Then understand how worried I was when I realized that you could be hurt? - she took a step back, she understood how stupid jealousy was, it was an ugly beast - Is there anything else? - in response Alexsander sighed - My father - - What does it have to do with it? - - He wants me to mark you and quickly too - those few words that made Luna freeze on the spot - No - she whispered touching her chest, the idea that sooner or later it would happen made her heart tremble, she understood that her body he wanted and expected nothing more than for the bond to unite them definitively, but his mind was far from that idea - It's better if I keep you locked up somewhere - he said thoughtfully, he was more than sure that the father was looking like a damned man there, at that moment - You dream of it - he shouted without letting him finish the sentence - It's the only way Luna - she got irritated, it was like a blow to the heart, because they all had the same mentality in that place, I think. Because anyone had to make decisions for her, overriding her - There are a million ways! - - One of the ways was not to enter our territory, not now! - Luna was exasperated, couldn't she just get out of there? How difficult could it be? She had managed to get in on her own and could leave there the same way. Frustration built inside her, thinking back to the reasons she knew why she had stayed hidden in the forest for so long, tears threatening to spill out into the open. And there it was, the anxiety that mixed with her instinct to escape, she didn't fully understand Alexsander's words and reasons, but she was about to lose control, her breathing became more and more labored - I was ENCLOSED in that damned, desperate place for my whole life, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? And I'm tired of doing what others say. For once I want to decide my life! - all the tears that she had never shed when she felt alone, when she imagined a life with other people, without knowing what the world was like, came out in interruptions, anxiety and her instincts had prevailed again. Alexsander was surprised to hear that confession, he didn't know what to do or what to think at that moment, while in his mind he was putting together the pieces of the puzzle about the girl's life, he had pressed on her weak points and he felt like shit. Luna wasted no time and left that room, trying to dry her eyes with the back of her hand, she ran through the corridors hearing footsteps behind her, she was sure he was chasing her, she didn't want to turn around to check. His aim was to get away from there, aware that he had talked too much, he continued to run following his instinct, suddenly he collided with something or someone, both falling to the ground. 

He looked up, finding a woman hooded and covered in a black cloak, yes they looked into her eyes, they were as blue as the sea on the horizon. She opened her eyes wide in shock - Excuse me - Luna said, trying to get closer, she managed to see small freckles on the woman's face. He saw her gasp for a few seconds - You have eyes like your father - he murmured, stretching out his hand to caress her face, but withdrew it before doing so, remembering that that girl shouldn't have been in that place, not at that moment - She knows my father ? - the woman stood up suddenly, without taking her gaze off his - Please, do you know anything about my family - Luna began to beg her for some more information, but was abruptly stopped - I don't know who you are, I don't know what what do you want from me, now please leave me - the young woman did not realize that she had taken her by the arm and tightened her grip, the woman freed herself by turning to leave as quickly as possible, she tried to chase her, she failed with the arrived of his predestined companion. He placed a hand on her shoulder, she trembled under his touch, turning to face him. He held his breath, he had taken her, he expected another outburst from her and then imprisonment, but it was quite the opposite, he hugged her without asking questions or saying a word. He had gone too far and so had she. Luna's body reacted automatically to the boy's, like a robot, and she hated herself again because she needed it, she punched him on the back, they were imperceptible, she couldn't even really hurt him, then they faded and she realized that the boy had caressed the back of his neck all the time - I'll take you home -

The forest had never been so calm and silent, she had found another mission, to discover something more about her past, she had always wanted to investigate it, but no one had given her proof that there was something more, but that day she had finally some proof. The hooded woman knew something about her parents and would have found out by hook or by crook, she arrived in the driveway of the house, she had asked to be dropped off a few meters ahead so as not to be discovered by her grandfather, Alexsander had not said a word during the journey and she mentally thanked him. I entered the house, going towards the kitchen, but stopped upon pushing the door, finding his grandfather trying to talk to a boy he had never seen - Good evening - he said politely, attracting their attention - Luna, we didn't hear you enter - Jack approached her bringing her closer to the unknown boy - Luna he is Axel Lorenz the best protector I have ever met and trained by the undersigned, Axel she is my niece Luna - there he introduced himself, she held out her hand, while he took it kissing her back - It's an honor to meet you Luna, I heard your grandfather speak very highly of you - he smiled at her, a fantastic smile, I think. The boy's curls fell slightly on her temple, you could feel them flowering on her hand, he was well placed, you could see the results of his training from under his clothes. Her cheeks were tinged with red, when her gaze clashed with his hazel one, remaining open-mouthed, under the pleased gaze of her grandfather - Now I'd better go, we'll see each other again, I can't wait to meet you again Luna - he winked at her before leaving the house, she was taken aback by the boy's confidence - What do you think he is like? - asked Jack, finding the opportunity to understand the girl's feelings - Cute - - So you want to go out with him? - he said mockingly, Luna almost choked on her own saliva, she looked at him crossing her arms, she understood that the guardian wanted to remove Alexsander from her life, even if she believed that she was succeeding on her own, reluctantly, for his shitty character - I'm already busy! - she said, locking herself in her room so as not to be disturbed.
