Luna leaned against the door ledge, raising an eyebrow as she saw her grandfather intent on reading a book, which she had never seen around the house - It's time to go to school - since the roles had been reversed, she was the one always he wasn't late, he thought - Wait a minute - his niece rolled her eyes, just those three words made her understand that it would take him longer, she looked at the clock, snorting when she saw that they were out of time, it was the first time they didn't respect her. If she had done something like that he would have shot her. She picked up the phone and texted Sasha, to tell her that she was getting late and that she was trying to get there as soon as possible, while her friends were already there.

Sasha smiled placing her phone in her pocket as she pondered one of the plans she had come up with, Evangeline looked at her suspiciously, maybe her boyfriend had definitely driven her crazy she thought. She felt a strange sensation on her back, someone had eyes right on her, she looked around and saw Xavier a few meters away from her, she met his sharp gaze. The little omega initially turned back to understand who or what he was looking at, but she soon realized that his target was her, she swallowed and turned around while his gaze never missed a movement. His fists were clenched, his knuckles were white and his jaw was tight, Evangeline got irritated and scared, what more did he want from her. Now she was no longer part of her pack, she had found freedom in that of the Foresters, she was sure that Luna had a hand in it, better for her safety. He could no longer play with her, he could no longer touch her, and he could no longer break her heart and deceive her at will, not anymore. He held her gaze knowing it would bother him, no one looked him in the eye, really, they were all scared, but he had learned something from his friend, he had to fight his demons until he died. And after years of teasing she was ready. Sasha noticed the strange exchange of glances between the two, took her friend's wrist and pushed her away, wanting to avoid an imminent clash. Xavier wasn't a very talkative guy, especially with those who challenged him, and now that he no longer had his favorite toy would use any excuse to snap. Scarlett approached them, seeing the brunette not give up - Eva don't pull out her claws - she took her head, definitively detaching her gaze from that of the Alpha, she saw a tear on her cheek and wiped it away with her thumb - You're strong. .. - Evangeline nodded, thinking back to what she had been through, and even worse was breaking away from her family, to change herd she had to abandon everyone, she was not obliged to stop talking to her parents but they were Xavier's directives and her parents were forced to listen to him being the alpha. But sooner or later she would be able to talk to her parents, it would take some time. 

After about twenty armed, the car with military texture parking near theirs, the lessons had already started and now they were forced to enter in the second period. The windows rolled down revealing the figures of Luna and Jack. Sasha rushed near the window, followed by the other two, ready to implement her plan - Hello Luna's grandfather - she started talking like an innocent child, the problem was that the girl was more than 18 years old. The brunette turned towards her, disconcerted by her attempt to somehow convince her guardian - It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Sasha Forester and your niece's best friend, they - she indicated her companions behind her - They're Evangeline Müller and Scarlett Schumacher - Jack smiled at her - It's a pleasure - her niece looked at him anxiously - Luna must have talked to her about Saturday, but I wanted to ask her if she could come and sleep with us, she knows they're tired of the holidays - she made sweet eyes, clasping her hands , Luna swallowed with wide eyes. That was news to her too, if the day before her grandfather was against a party let alone sleeping at a stranger's house. She leaned forward to see his face, surprised to find him with a smile on his face - Okay - her niece became suspicious and surprised at her answer. Why had he made so much fuss with her? Maybe his speech had made him think? He didn't believe it, he wasn't the type to change his mind so much in less than twenty-four hours - But - he continued, adjusting the cowboy hat he had worn that morning - Promise me that you will check on Luna every minute, I want a phone call every hour, okay? It's as if I'm entrusting my very life in your hands. I can trust the Forester pack, right? - he looked into the eyes of the young blonde who was starting to sweat cold. He knew he was playing a part, and he also knew that she recognized him from the moment she rolled down the window - Don't worry, her granddaughter is in good health! - he said dragging her out of the car, while he said goodbye watching them enter the institute. Jack's smile faded when they disappeared from his sight, the day before, when Luna had been away from home, she had taken the opportunity to talk to Aron Forester, without going into details and begging him not to affect things with his niece and his son, keeping his true identity hidden and setting the record straight from the start.

- Explain to me why everything is easier with you! - Luna snorted after accompanying Scarlett to her class - It's my charm - Sasha preened, waving her high ponytail in front of their eyes, in truth she was pissing herself off, she had had the greatest hunter of all time just an inch away through her nose and had played the part of the little girl in front of him - What lesson do we have? - asked Luna, changing the subject - Get the brushes ready! - Evangeline greeted the blonde, taking her classmate's hand, dragging her into the classroom, that day they didn't have Sasha as a supervisor. The classroom was spacious, the light filtered through the enormous windows, of the few he had seen that was the only one with an older, neoclassical structure, in the center of the room, placed in a circle, some easels on which some canvases were placed, the professor of that hour entered. Being at school, and having much more contact with magical people and creatures, she had learned to distinguish auras, understanding before speaking who or what they were, and in front of her she had a sorcerer as a teacher - Welcome guys. Today we will do a soft lesson, I won't start pressuring you, take out your brushes and paint what belongs to you most, what you feel in your heart. Doodle whatever comes to mind, I want to see what's in your little heads! - Luna looked at her friend next to her, while the latter made a gesture with her hand so as not to worry her too much. It was an obsession of anyone who practiced witchcraft or witchcraft to know what was in people. He took the brush from the container placed next to him and began to brush here and there on the white canvas, the result showed a clear and precise concept. A girl who looked into the eyes of a wolf, not exactly defined, because she didn't know what a hypothetical transformation could be like, the forest was her background. Who knows when his time will come. He sighed, looked at his work sensing a lack in it, raised his arm to call the professor, who was helping another girl - Do you think something is missing? - he looked at the painting and seemed amazed by his skill - Where did you learn to paint like this? - he asked her, putting a hand on her shoulder - Alone - yes she put a lock of hair behind her ear, embarrassed, showing someone what she could do with painting and drawing in general was too intimate for her, she felt too exposed - Congratulations Miss Wood, you have a natural talent, now you just need to sign your name - I point to the point, she drew, at the bottom on the right of the painting, a small moon and her surname, she signed each of her drawings like this, from when she was little - You were great, could you go and wash the brushes now, please? - she nodded, taking the basket where all the brushes in the class were contained, the teacher had stopped the lesson, giving everyone a quarter hour of rest and cleaning the classroom.

Luna left the classroom heading towards the bathrooms, the corridors were deserted, she could sense a strange tension in the air, she suddenly felt observed, she swallowed, looking around and was courteous in the bathrooms. She took a deep breath and quickly washed the bristles of the brushes, feeling oppressed in that confined space, she wanted to return to class as soon as possible, she didn't feel safe. He came out of the bathroom, turning the corner, and bumped into something or someone - Sorry....me. - she stiffened when she looked up at the person, feeling the anger boiling in her - Luna - her voice was firm she looked down at her - Xliver - she said through clenched teeth he was the last person she wanted to meet, and it wasn't in the mood to start another fight. She overtook him but was blocked and grabbed by the elbow, returning to where she was before - What do you want? - she asked sourly, he rolled his eyes, as if she had no right to open her mouth, but somehow she had to manage to get close to Evangeline again. He held his tongue trying to follow the script that had been established, he had to enter into the girl's graces - Talk? - she replied, her tone of voice annoyed Luna, as if they had something to share, she certainly hadn't forgotten how she treated the poor omega, she thought - Talking? It's what Xavier? - he narrowed his gaze, crossing her arms and leaning on one side of the locker, ready to hear what he wanted to say to get him out of her sight as quickly as possible, something that only lasted a few minutes she thought - I know you can't stand me - she nodded, still annoyed, frowning the lips - We started off on the wrong foot - - Is it so noticeable? - he replied obviously - I shouldn't have mistreated someone from my pack - - Are you only realizing it now? - his way of exposing himself made the alpha nervous - You're terrible, I'm trying to apologize - he pronounced the last words well, he had to be convincing. Luna looked at him up and down smiling at him, he didn't believe his words either, but he wanted to give us the benefit of the doubt after an imminent lecture, he thought - You don't have to apologize to me, you would have risked your life, I'm still a skilled hunter - he rolled his eyes - Apologize to yourself and the people you mistreated - she straightened up looking him in the eyes - Did I want to ask you to start over, as friends? - she held out her hand hoping for a positive response, Luna acted difficult, only to understand how much she cared. For her, if someone had understood their mistakes, giving them a second chance didn't hurt anyone, even if something stunk and the phantom friendship had a double-edged sword and she knew it, but on the other hand, becoming friends with your enemy it was the best way to keep Evangeline safe or at least and the one she believed - Friends - returned the squeeze. Xavier felt better about himself, he had reached one of the points in his schedule and now it was the second's turn to do, that is, to find out more about the new arrival. What were you doing in the corridor, all alone, little wolf? - he asked starting to follow her - Lupacchiotta? - the girl looked at him strangely - You're a werewolf, aren't you? Because otherwise I don't know how or in what way, you managed to mangle my wrist with your nails - he pointed to the bruise that he had still had on his wrist for days, Luna tried to remain impassive - Shouldn't it have already healed? For an alpha you're slow - he looked at the bandage for a moment and then brought his attention back to him - And what I've been wondering for days, you answer - he certainly hadn't imagined that growl coming from the girl, as her eyes turned gold. Luna had to get out of that unpleasant situation, at any cost, and strange rumors had certainly started to circulate upon her arrival and had reached the boy's ears. She had to go into five-year-old mode to get out of him - You decide - she spoke out of the blue - I decide what? - he looked at her as if she were crazy - What do I look like, a werewolf or a hunter - she said jumping past him, as if she were in a field of flowers - Can't you just tell me? - the girl's games didn't drive him crazy, but they certainly increased his curiosity - I love mystery - she stuck her tongue out at him and went on her way making the boy growl - Keep your secrets to yourself! I'll find them out eventually! - he shouted after her as he watched her enter the classroom, he thought about torturing her for a moment, he needed information. The aura of mystery that surrounded the girl was incredible, she didn't know if she was a danger to her own pack and the proximity to Evangeline, her destined mate, was a problem. Only in that moment did Xavier realize what had happened the day before, she had abandoned him and it was such a low blow for him, he had done everything wrong from the beginning and only a day had passed and he already felt her distance, he hated her for it, for how she made him feel. 

Xavier, with difficulty, entered the group of girls alongside Luna, while the omega behind him gave him fiery looks, he couldn't believe his eyes. Finally she had found a friend and he interfered there too, as he always did and he couldn't believe that his friend had made who knows what pact with him. The bell of the institute's kindergarten rang, from their position, which was another area that was located specifically at the entrance that the high school students used, they could see small groups of children heading towards their parents - But how cute! - Luna exclaimed with heart-shaped eyes, the children literally made her lose her mind - They are wonderful! - Xavier swallowed hearing Evangeline's nostalgic voice as he came alongside his friend. He looked at her as one of his most beautiful memories that he had spent with the omega appeared before his eyes, like a flash. When the girl acted as babysitter for one of the little ones in the pack and I found her in the garden of the estate, she had a whirlwind of sensations when she found her and away from prying eyes I helped her all day - Luna, didn't you know that in this school that also a kindergarten? - Sasha interrupted the boy's memories, standing next to the girl - That's why this place is so huge - he said looking around, he noticed the strange look that Xavier reserved for Evangeline who was completely ignoring the boy - Girls today we have to go shopping for the party from Herry - he said, clutching the notebook in his hand - It's not Saturday, what's the point of going shopping days before? - - Xavier you don't understand anything about women's organizations - Scarlett approached him nonchalantly - But there are still days to go - - That's what I say too! - Luna's support made Xavier feel safer. 

Luna looked around noticing in the distance, but clearly headed towards them Bernhard, Alexsander is another boy she didn't know - Sasha there's your love - he told her, but not even the time to say it that she was already on him, the new arrivals changed their mood when they saw a presence they didn't like - IS THAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? - Alexsander shouted, making the boys' ears ring, he approached them in long strides with his eyes lighting up with every step, his gold increases dramatically - What do you have to shout about?! We are less than two meters away! - his sister shouted at him - I don't have to answer you - Xilver replied, the blond glared at him as he approached - YOU COM - before he could complete the sentence, Luna stepped between the two, interrupting him - Alexsander! - she called him back, looking him in the eyes, he looked down at her - Evangeline and I have forgiven him, and our friend now! - the girl, hearing her name, gave her a dirty look - Only I did it - she corrected herself, looking at her friend, she rolled her eyes, pushing the two boys away, creating more space between the two, the latter looked into each other's eyes intensely. They had begun to communicate with each other, telepathically. The blond let out a growl while the other smiled - Stop it now! You are not children! - Luna brought attention to her - Let's do as he says, after all he's right, we're not children - Xavier smiled at him mockingly, repeating the girl's own words, she nodded back. Alexsander clenched his fists seeing their too much confidence, Luna elbowed him on the arm, he snorted in response - Anyway girls, the day after tomorrow at five - he turned towards them, trying to focus his attention on something else - I I'll stay at work, I'll wait for you - Scarlett spoke while the two nodded - I'm going - she nodded to everyone before leaving, but she was stopped after a few steps, quite far from the group that was breaking up - Where should you go? - Alesander whispered in her ear, Luna felt a shiver down her spine as she inhaled the boy's scent, she was becoming obsessed with him - Secret - she stuck her tongue out at him, leaving his grip, acting stupid had become the only way to get out of that situation he couldn't control.
