Luna finished eating with the taste of steak still in her throat, washed the dishes, while her grandfather removed the tablecloth and swept the floor. Once she finished as per the routine, she started dusting the house, anyone seeing her might think that she was obsessed with cleanliness and order, like a maniac.
For her it was one of the ways not to think, to unplug and not believe that her grandfather was hiding something from her. Something more about her life that she didn't know. She hadn't forgotten about the creaking step, she might have been paranoid, but she didn't like her grandfather's behavior.
Her sixth sense told her that there was something big and she would find out, and how she would find out! 
He sighed as he put the rags in the closet, he went into the living room to find his grandfather in the armchair, busy cleaning the barrel of the rifle with the background of the television playing. He cleared his throat, getting his attention - Yes? - he looked up at his niece, she leaned on the sofa in front of the armchair - I wanted to ask you something - Jack the distribution, moving the rifle to the side, saw his niece stalling a bit, scratching the back of her neck - Luna, you know that I like can you say everything? - his sweet tone reassured her, but not completely, in her heart she knew that he would explode - You know next Saturday.... - she spoke calmly not wanting to make him angry - there's a party and she and my friends will go there, I wanted to ask you if I could go too - you look at your shoes hearing your grandfather's sighs against you - And who would your friends be? - he asked, he didn't believe that in two days his niece had made reliable friends in three days of freedom, just finding out that they had already claimed her was a problem for him. For Luna on the other hand, if she had been a normal girl she would have accepted everything she thought starting to get upset - And I should send you to a party with tennegers free to do what they want? There's no talking about it - he continued mumbling, hoping whoever his niece is would change his mind. For her it wasn't a whim, she wanted to have new experiences, it was he who had told her to discover the way. They had already stolen her childhood, but he could have given her more and he didn't, only out of fear, she was the last of her kind, and the daughter of a person who was considered by him to be a blood child. The image of Rick Gesegnet always appeared before his eyes when he looked at Luna and lately even more so. Now here she is, years later, in front of him, spitting the truth in his face, and if her parents were still alive the girl's life would be better and easier now. They had already stolen her childhood, but he could have given her more and he didn't, only out of fear, she was the last of her kind, and the daughter of a person who was considered by him to be a blood child. The image of Rick Gesegnet always appeared before his eyes when he looked at Luna and lately even more so. Now here she is, years later, in front of him, spitting the truth in his face, and if her parents were still alive the girl's life would be better and easier now. He had chatted for a long time with an old acquaintance, he had told him that it was time for the girl's destiny to be fulfilled, also predicting the predestined bond between Alexander and his niece, and he knew very well that there was no getting between the goddess. Even the traces of the Black Blood hunters had been lost, especially those of Mark Rodriguez, the head of the clan, also for that reason he had started to loosen his grip - Okay - he said exhausted by thoughts, he looked up at her - But only on one condition - he said, the girl nodded, incredulous that she had convinced him - You have to introduce me to your friends - she took the rifle and the tea towel back - All right - that condition suited her more than well, she walked towards the door under the questioning gaze from grandfather - Where are you going now? - - To the lake to study and get some fresh air - don't even let him mention that she had already left. Jack let out a long sigh, not wanting to accept that Luna was finally getting older.

Luna ran and jumped on the trees, she felt light and without any worries, without responsibility, that outburst had been more than enough, in that moment she thought about her transformation which had not yet arrived. Maybe if she had transformed for the first time, she would have understood something more about herself. He arrived at the lake, stopped where he could have the best view of the lake, the body of water reflected the sky, which that afternoon was clearer than usual.

She smiled as she began to walk through the forest, she didn't want to study that day, she wanted to take risks and the idea of ​​visiting the borders didn't seem so bad to her, she walked at a brisk pace, driven by a thrill of curiosity. Alexander's scent hung in the air, perhaps a remnant of the last few days, she thought, but changed her mind when she smelled it more vividly. Apparently not only had she gone out for a walk, she followed his trail reaching the borders, looked at the white rose bushes and smelled them. White, a color that most people associated with purity and prestige, for her was equality, freedom, a color where you could create yourself from scratch.

She heard the sound of leaves moving behind her, she didn't care much about it until a presence appeared next to her. She turned slowly and seeing a werewolf who could intimidate anyone, but not her, the thick dark coat made her want to pet him, his paws were black and mixed with the brown of his legs, she leaned forward slightly to look at him better with his eyes, they had irises similar to those of cats, they were an intense blue. He wondered what she would be like once transformed - Hello Alexsander - she smiled seeing him surprised. The boy didn't expect that she would recognize him, so quickly, he approached her and licked her cheek - Come on Alex! Now my face is all sticky! - he complained, trying to remove the drool from his face, he glared at him, seeing him sneer in response, and stuck his tongue out at him. He disappeared among the trees for a few seconds, just enough time to get dressed and go back to his partner - It's not funny - she continued sulkily - But yes - he replied, sitting next to her, while she snorted - More quickly, how did you manage to recognize me? - - Sixth sense - he brings his legs to his chest - And then the day before yesterday I saw you when you left- - What are you doing here? - - I was bored and I wanted to explore the place a bit - she remained vague, moving the bangs that were pinching her eyes, she should have cut them off she thought - It's better if you don't do that anymore - he was serious, she tilted her face towards him wrinkling his forehead - We are on the edge of the forest of the moon and on the other side of this hedge, there is my herd - - So? Are you afraid that someone from your pack might fall in love with me? - she looked at him furtively, it was absurd for her that someone could fall in love with her if not driven by a bond, she was sure that if the bond wasn't there Alexsander would never have looked at her - No, everyone already knows that you're only mine - he replied proudly - So what are you afraid of? - the boy thought about his father and his desire to have grandchildren and to mark her right away, he shook his head - Can I ask you a question? - he said, changing the subject, the girl nodded - Where do you live? - Luna opened her eyes wide, she couldn't tell him where she lived, her grandfather would have killed them both and no one had to know the true location of her home, her grandfather's hiding place, and then why she hadn't transformed, so in the event of an attack she wouldn't he could defend himself to the fullest of his potential. But he was also her destined companion, she bit her lip torn between telling him the truth or not - Why do you want to know? - he licked his lower lip ready to corner her in order to know more about her - Well you know, looking back at the conversation from a few days ago, and since we are in the most mysterious place in these counties I would like to understand your presence here - yes I get closer to her. His scent warms Luna's heart making her relax immediately, the boy was really insistent she thought, she had to give him an explanation to get him away from there - I'll tell you, but you have to swear that you won't tell anyone clearly? - she raised her little finger and he intertwined his with hers, sealing a promise like children did - I live here, this forest is my home - he looked at her as if three heads were coming out of her neck, she certainly wasn't expecting an answer like this - Maybe I explained myself badly. There is a small house at the entrance to the forest, I live there with my grandfather, as you know I am the granddaughter of the famous Jack Wood and he is the protector of the herd that populates this forest and that is why when you cross the territories no one disturbs you, I already told you... - he said, of course that no one was bothering him because they were all dead, I think, the smile disappeared, leaving space in his mind where the images of the massacre became clearer.

A man faced with a large wolf, holding a woman in his arms, while holding a knife to her throat, her parents. People were running away and screaming, she was hiding in the bushes because she was playing with her friend. That night the constellation Libra watched over her, her memories were a mix, she only remembered a growl from behind while a wolf jumped on her, the star on her chest caught her eye and then darkness. The tears threaten to come out, worrying the young man next to her - Luna, is everything okay? - he took her face in his hands - Alex, promise me you won't tell anyone? - he brought her close to him, resting his forehead against hers, he didn't know if he was doing everything wrong in those days - Alpha's word - he took her hand, bringing it to his chest, right over his heart. Luna consoled herself with that gesture, feeling the heartbeat of the boy, she felt that she could trust him or at least she was counting on it - I better go, it's getting late - she said getting up followed by him - Already? - he protested pouting, she smiled pinching his cheek giving him a kiss, he deserved it after all she thought - Get ready for Saturday - she continued winking at him, before disappearing into the trees, the boy remaining there, while he touched his kissed cheek it had turned tomato red. No one had ever made him feel this way with so little.
