Luna looked carefully into her eyes, through her reflection, determined and ready for a new day. The evening before, her grandfather had given her some warnings on how to dress, how to behave with teachers, school collaborators, classmates without speaking to the male ones, just thinking back to the speech he had made to her made her smile being sure that the last warning would break her, there was no point. She opened the wardrobe, taking the first things she came across, paying attention to her grandfather's words, she looked at herself in the mirror with a satisfied expression - I think I won't attract attention - she thought, fixing her bangs. He took the backpack, prepared the day before, which was on the swivel chair, he gave himself one last look, focusing on his lower back, it wasn't too conspicuous. She went down the stairs, stopping when she noticed the creaking of the penultimate step. She went over it a few times to be sure of her assumption - Grandpa, the second step is broken! Do I fix it? - she asked entering the kitchen ready for a substantial breakfast - Don't worry, I'll take care of it - Jack replied placing a plate of pancakes with maple syrup on top - Mmm... American breakfast, what are you hiding from me? - he asked biting into the first piece, moaning with pleasure when he felt the syrup go down his throat - You like it, right? - he asked her, sitting in front of her, with a cup of coffee - Don't bribe me, why does the step creak? - he said, tucking into other morsels - I can always fix it, while you're at work - he continued between one bite and another, at the sound of those words, his grandfather began to get agitated, throwing out every plausible excuse from his repertoire - Don't worry, I just wanted to do you a favor , there is no need to behave this way - he murmured, taking the glass full of orange juice, which was on his left - Come on, let's go to school - her grandfather took her by the arm and dragged her out of there - But... but... I'm not finished yet! - she protested, desperately watching her beloved breakfast go away - Another time! - Jack said, pushing her into the car, closing the door in her face. Luna looked at her grandfather, slightly worried by his unusual behavior, even when she turned on the radio and turned the volume up a lot. I look out the window and the only thing she thought about for the entire journey was her grandfather's suspicious attitude, already the fact that he had prepared her a different breakfast than usual was not a good sign. She had only offered to help him, what was he hiding from her? He shook his head, he was making too many films and was easily impressed.

The grandfather parked on the side of the road, Luna looked at the building and some students, who were entering before the bell rang, took the piece of paper on which the lessons and free hours were written. Before getting out of the car her grandfather stops her - Before you go, I want you to take this - he said handing her a mobile phone - Finally! You got me one! - he exclaimed, taking it to look at it better - It only says my number, if something happens call me - he said - Not for something, a more modern one, right? - I ask Luna getting out of the car - Stick to what I told you, I'll see you later - he said before leaving - But it's a Nokia! - he shouted to make himself heard - Ah, youth - he said, a few meters away, Jack to himself - This thing wouldn't be destroyed even if a car ran over it - he continued to murmur, he sighed as he went on his way, with the old-fashioned telephone in one hand and his schedule in the other. She looked around noticing those present giving her strange looks, she perceived the auras of many wolves and others, I lowered hers so as not to arouse suspicion and continued walking towards the entrance. The institute didn't seem so bad to her, the September air had started to feel, a little wind had picked up, it wasn't violent, the leaves of the trees had started to turn yellow. Her grandfather had ordered her, that if anyone asked about her private life, they had to know that she was a very simple country girl who came from abroad, as what happened in the shopping center people began to confabulate among themselves, Luna sighed in exasperation listening to some tasteless comments and mentally prayed to the Goddess Selene hoping that the day would go smoothly. 

Suddenly most of them fell silent, but that moment lasted little or nothing. Voices attracted their attention, and Luna, intrigued, also began to wander with her gaze, catching a glimpse of two people, or rather, a couple who were having a strong argument. He became interested in them when he noticed the accusatory tone of the girl, visibly angry in contrast to the calm of the boy, who was desperately trying to make her see reason. After a few curses from the blonde girl, he started walking towards her, shouldering past her. Luna didn't pay much attention to it, I watched her leave out of the corner of my eye and brought her attention to the dark-haired boy with whom she was having the argument, she saw him, at that moment, talking to another blond. She breathed deeply, sensing the scent that had been tormenting her for a couple of days, it filled my nostrils and warmed her heart, a strange sensation took possession of her, she unconsciously shook on the spot when the blond boy suddenly turned towards her , her cheeks burned when she met his gaze. Her legs seemed to become soft as she couldn't take her eyes off the boy, she bit her lip unconsciously to distract herself and detach herself from her trans state. He looked around trying to understand if it was really her who had captured his interest, he swallowed loudly, realizing that it was her, he moved his gaze elsewhere, pretending nothing had happened, even when he perceived the blonde's gaze taking his x-ray. Luna found more interest in the girl who had pushed her with the shoulder, a few seconds before, she saw her going towards the road, her wolf senses automatically became alarmed, she didn't know why but she started running towards her. In the distance, the sound of a car speeding up, he understood too late that the blonde would soon be hit. Neither the girl, who was talking on her cell phone, nor the driver had noticed what was about to happen, without thinking for a second more he accelerated his pace reaching her, pulled her by the arm towards her while the girl let out a scream at the scared and fell on top of her, and then both of them landed - Hey! Who the hell gave you your license?! - Luna shouted, standing up with a raised fist, at the car which continued on its way. He took a deep breath to lower himself and reduce his aura, he turned towards the girl who remained on the ground, pale-faced and in shock - Is everything okay? - he asked her kindly, kneeling next to her, moving some locks from her face, the stranger hugged her and started to cry - Tell me I'm not dead, please! - he begged her with a trembling voice, he returned the hug, smiling at her and starting to caress her back. Just like her grandfather did, when she was little and was afraid of the monsters who lived under her bed - You're not dead - he whispered to her - Thank you! Thank you! You saved my life! - he repeated it several times, continuing to hold her. He managed to put some distance between them, when he saw the dark-haired boy approaching them, he admired the girl's face which was characterized by two large hazel eyes, blond hair falling on her shoulders, with a small and slender body. He helped her get up - Are you new? I've never seen you around here - the stranger asked her, wiping away the rest of her tears - Yes, today is my first day - he replied smiling at her - Sasha, nice - he introduced himself in a friendly manner and she did the same, she looked around looking for her things, which had fallen due to the impact - Where are you from? - asked the blonde, curious about her savior - I recently moved - she answered vaguely, putting her backpack back on her shoulder. Sasha hid behind her back when the dark-haired boy reached her - Good heavens Sasha are you okay? Nothing broken right? - he asked trying to get closer, but the girl started using Luna as a shield to push him away - Yes, nothing broken - she replied in his place, hinting at a smile - I think he wants to put distance between you two - he continued, raising his hands to his sides, feeling like he was too much - Come on! Sasha! Not doing so was just a misunderstanding! - said the boy - Tell that to that bitch Tiana! Bernhard! - Sasha replied, pushing Luna even further - Come on, my sweetheart! Do not do that! - he begged her, almost on his knees. 

My sugar? This girl is a beast, Luna thought to herself - Don't call me that! We broke up - he shouted, he saw the boy's eyes become shiny - Sasha don't you think you should give him another chance? - Luna interjected, trying to look at the girl who was hiding behind her back - How naive you are, don't be fooled - he said, Luna moved her gaze between the two, I rolled her eyes, she didn't believe she was about to say certain things - I believe... honestly, he's telling you the truth, come on look at him! He's madly in love with you, you can tell from a mile away! Come on, listen to me - he said, managing to move to the side, bringing the blonde forward. Sasha looked at her for a second and then moved it to the boy - Is it the truth? - he asked - Yes! Christ yes! - Bernhard replied, Sasha looked at him for a long time - I'll make an effort - he said before throwing himself into the arms of his beloved, thank you was mimed from Bernhard's lips, she smiled at him officially feeling like a heroine - Well, I should go now - she took a step to leave room for the two, but Sasha took her by the wrist making her turn her over - Bernhard she's Luna, Luna he's Bernhard my boyfriend, for now - said Sarah, he held out his hand to introduce himself, Luna looked at her for a second, but before she could return the handshake, she heard a growl coming from behind her, the scent that was haunting her was felt, it enveloped her in a possessive way. She became as tense as a violin string when she felt a presence behind her, then a word accompanied by a further growl of possession - MINE - at hearing this word the shivers began to run down my spine paralyzing it completely, with my feet planted in the ground and with a great desire to bury itself.
