The Black family was in the car on the way to Beacon Hills. There was a married couple named Sirius Black and Marie Black, as well as two children sitting in the back named Luna Marie Black and her younger sister Nina Kiara Black.

In the woods outside, Derek Hale watched the Blacks' car and followed them to make sure they weren't hunters.

Everyone looked at Derek. "Wow, bro, you really are a little stalker" Laura remarked, and Derek just rolled his eyes. "I just wanted to make sure everything was okay, ok" he explained to his sister.

"When are we finally there?" asked an impatient little Nina. "In a moment, my darling, in a moment" her mother replied.

"Hey, that's us" Nina said excitedly and pointed to the screen. Everyone smiled at her.

"Where is Oliver?" Cora asked and looked at the young man next to her. "I'm on tour. I'm the captain of the Quidditch Team" Oliver explained to his future wife.

After the ten-minute drive, the Blacks finally arrived at their destination. "We're finally here" said Sirius Black, relieved after the long drive. Everyone got out and opened the trunk to see the boxes. The two adults each took a box and went into the house. Luna stayed outside and looked at the surroundings.

There was a forest opposite the house, but otherwise the area was quiet. "Catch you are!" Nina exclaimed as she touched her older sister and laughed.

"Nina, we have to clear out the trunk" the black-haired woman pretended to be serious.

"Okay, who are you and what did you do with Luna?" Oliver asked his sister, who just laughed at him. "Oh come on, Olli, you can't be serious. I thought you knew me better. Me and serious?" Luna replied, laughing.

"Oh yeah, Mom can never really be serious" Laura T. answered. "Well, very rarely. And when she is serious, it never means anything good" Eli continued.

"You've gotten so boring since we got to Beacon Hills" said a pouting Nina. An outraged Luna replied, "Excuse me?! Let me show you how boring I've become." Luna then ran towards her little sister, who ran away from her screaming.

Luna stopped, looked around and transformed into a snow-white wolf, which was her animagus form. In her wolf form, she chased Nina, jumped at her, and then Nina was lying on her back on the grass, laughing. "Please have mercy on me. I take back the fact that you've become boring" little Nina gasped, out of breath. And as if that wasn't enough, the wolf licked the little girl's face. Nina laughed even harder.

"You had no mercy on me" a pouting Nina said to her sister. "Oh, sweetie, come here" Luna said, opening her arms so Nina could run into her arms. Now she sat on her lap and snuggled up to her sister as they continued to watch the screen.

Talia Hale watched with a smile and thought to herself that Luna would be a good mother.

"Luna, get the box with your things and then come in" Marie Black called to her daughter. Luna went to the car in her wolf form, climbed into the trunk and transformed back there. She got out and picked up the box with her belongings. She paused because she felt like she was being watched

"You're so fucked, Derek" Cora laughed at her brother, who just glared at her. "What's fucked?" Little Nina asked, and everyone looked at her with wide eyes, forgetting that there was a little girl in the room.

"Um...I'll explain that to you when you're older, Nina" Marie said to her youngest, who just shrugged her shoulders and then continued to look at the screen. Marie puts a spell on Nina so that when she hears a curse word it is trivialized.

Luna smiled, knowing exactly who the person watching her was, and walked into the house with the box in her hands and her little sister. It must be said here that Luna had a vision every night; In one of these visions she saw a black-haired young man wearing dark clothing watching her from the forest. When the young man saw them go into the house, he himself went to his house, which now looked more like a ruin than a habitable house.

"Wait. So you get visions from the future every night? That's awesome. You're awesome, yeah!" said an excited Stiles. "Well, I don't always get visions, but yeah, you could say it that way. But I already told you. Listen when people talk to you. And thank you, Stiles" Luna replied.

"But then nothing can surprise you anymore. Isn't that shitty?" Zoe asked.

"Yeah, well. I grew up with it. You could say it's a part of my life" Luna explained, and everyone just nodded.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Scott McCall sat on his bed, wearing only a pair of gym shorts, re-threading the laces on his lacrosse stick. After determining that the net on his stick was secure yet loose enough, he threw the stick on his bed and walked to the bathroom door, where he had mounted a pole on the door frame. He was doing a set of chin-ups when his younger twin sister, Zoe, walked in and looked at him. "Wow, Scott, you really are a drama queen" she remarked. Scott went to the bathroom, where he brushed his teeth and washed his face before bed. "I'm trying to get fit for tomorrow, okay?" he explained to his sister. "Whatever you say, bro" Zoe laughed. "Anyway, I'm going to bed" Zoe said and left her brother's room.

"I thought it was about Luna's life and not all of us. Why are we the center of attention now?" Zoe asked, and everyone agreed. "Well, it's not just about one part of Luna's life. It's about all the parts, and that includes all of you" Albus explained to Zoe, who just nodded in understanding.

Suddenly, Scott heard a noise outside and stopped Zoe. "Did you hear that?" he asked his sister, who nodded in agreement and rolled her eyes because she knew exactly who it could be. Scott grabbed a baseball bat and led the way while Zoe walked confidently behind him. They both went out onto the porch. Scott was now wearing a red hoodie and Zoe was still in her cute red pyjamas as they both investigated what had made the noise.

"Uh, Z, I love your pyjamas. Where did you get them?" Lydia asked her best friend. "I found them in this cute shop. I'll take you with me next time, yeah?" Zoe replied and they both smiled at each other when they were interrupted by a throat clearing and the two girls apologized. 

Suddenly, a figure appeared hanging from the roof. Scott screamed in shock and swung his baseball bat almost into the person's face until he realized it was Stiles Stilinski, his best friend, who was also screaming loudly. Zoe just stood there watching the scene before her, laughing.

"I completely forgot that nothing scares Zoe easily. She's literally not afraid of anything or anyone" Scott mentioned as he watched the scene. "I'm just the better twin, Scotty" Zoe replied with a grin. "Zoe, I hate to admit it, but you're really cool" Cora admitted. Zoe grinned at her and they both high-fived each other.

Everyone watched how the two cousins ​​behaved. "Hey! I want a bond with my puppy cousin too. That's not fair" Laura pouted as she looked at her younger sister. "Oh come here, Laura" Cora and Zoe said at the same time and hugged her. Everyone looked at this with a smile.

Scott huffed in frustration and annoyance before lowering his bat. "Stiles, what the hell are you doing?!" Scott asked his best friend. Stiles looked equally frustrated, looking at the baseball bat in his friend's hands while ignoring Zoe's laughter. "None of you answered the phone! Why do you have a bat?" he asked. "I thought you were a predator!" Scott replied annoyed. "A pre... Wha?" Stiles asked incredulously and then turned to Zoe. "And what's your excuse, young lady?" he asked. "Well, I kind of knew it was Stiles," Zoe explained to the boys. They both looked at her in disbelief. "What? Stiles texted me saying he was coming. But I specifically told you I needed my sleep, Stiles!" Zoe screamed.

"Exactly. Guys, why don't you listen when a girl says she needs her beauty sleep? Even if you don't need it, Zoe, you look great" Lydia said. "Aww, thanks, Lyds. You see though looking great too" Zoe replied, and both friends hugged each other while the boys just rolled their eyes.

"And you didn't mention it?!" Scott asked his twin sister, who just shrugged her shoulders. Stiles watched the twins and turned the conversation to the reason for his late-night visit. "Look, I know it's late, but you have to hear that. I saw my dad leave twenty minutes ago. The dispatcher called - they're bringing in every officer from the Beacon Department, and even the state police," the Stilinski scion explained.

Everyone looked over at Stiles, who made himself small. "Stiles?!" Noah Stilinski asked his son in horror. "Hey Dad" Stiles replied as if nothing was wrong. "Aww, I knew it. It will never be boring with you" Luna said, laughing. "Good idea moving to Beacon Hills, Mom and Dad" she added with a laugh.

Marie and Sirius looked at each other, both thinking what a terrible idea that had been.

"For what?" Scott asked his best friend. Stiles had trouble hiding his joy at the impending answer. "Two joggers found a body in the woods" the boy replied. "Stiles, tell me something new. I already know that," Zoe chimed in while laughing. "I'm not talking to you!" Stiles said with a pout.

"Zoe?!" Melissa asked in horror. "What? Stiles is infectious, okay. But hey, it's fun" Zoe mentioned with a grin. "Let me guess. You either found out with Stiles or you tapped my radio?" Marco asked his daughter, who just nodded in agreement. "Oh yeah, and I wanted to apologize. I didn't know it was you" Zoe added, looking at her dead cousin. "Oh, you didn't know me" Laura said, brushing it off as if nothing had happened.

Stiles reached up to free himself from the trellis and landed safely on his feet in front of Scott and Zoe. Scott still looked confused. "What, a dead body?" Scott asked. "No, a body of water" Stiles replied sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "Yeah, a dead body, you idiot!" he added. Zoe then hit Scott in the back of the head. "Ow! What was that for?" Scott asked his sister, who looked at him in disbelief. "I'm definitely the smarter and better looking twin of the two of us" she explained.

"Oh yeah, I have to agree" Zoe said, and everyone agreed with her, while Scott just looked at her indignantly.

Scott looked unnerved about the news while Stiles climbed over the railing to join them on the porch. "You mean, like, murdered?" Scott continued to ask. "Nobody knows yet. Just that it was a girl, probably in her twenties" Zoe interjected. "Hold on, if they found the body, then what are they looking for?" Scott asked, frowning. Stiles, overwhelmed by the tension of the situation, continued. "And here it comes" Zoe muttered to herself. "That's the best part - they only found half" Stiles finished.

Stiles' tone turned serious, making it clear that Scott and Zoe had no say in what happened next. "We're going" he requested. "Oh no. Never. Never in my life. You are connected incorrectly here. If it wasn't the middle of the night, I would be 100% there. But now? Never!" Zoe replied in a tone that was meant to frighten both of them.

The boys looked at each other and nodded to each other. They each grabbed Zoe's arms and lifted her into the blue jeep. "Help! I'm kidnapped by my own brother and my best friend, who's actually like a brother too! Help!" Zoe screamed dramatically as she sat in the jeep.

"Aww, so you think I'm your brother? How sweet" Stiles said, hugging Zoe, who returned the hug.

"Okay, Marco, drama runs in the family. So, well done" Sam said to his brother, patting him on the shoulder.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

On the other side of Beacon Hills, black-haired Luna Black snuck out her window to go into the forest.

Everyone looked at the aforementioned black-haired woman. Luna looked around and asked, "What? The forest is very attractive, okay?"

Luna moved deeper into the forest when she heard three voices. "Just out of curiosity, which half of the body are we looking for?" asked Scott, whose voice was the first to sound. Stiles looked a little embarrassed at the question. "Huh! I didn't even think about that" admitted Stiles, who was the second voice. "And, uh... what if whoever killed the body is still out here?" Scott asked further. "Also something I didn't think about. But hey, let's hope he only kills young women" Stiles said somewhat confidently.

"Oh my God, Stiles!" Zoe screamed, who was the third voice. Scott rolled his eyes in amusement as the three began hiking up a hill. "It's comforting to know you've planned this out with your usual attention to detail" Scott chimed in again. "Yeah, I know" Stiles agreed with his best friend. "Why, Stiles? Why?" Zoe mumbled. "You know you love me" Stiles replied to his best friend.
Stiles quickened his pace, causing his best friends to stumble over the wet leaves and branches. He kept walking forward, and it seemed as if he had completely forgotten that the two of them were still there.

The twins looked at Stiles and said, "Thanks, Stiles." "Hey, you're welcome" the boy replied with a wink. "Where did I end up here" Derek muttered to himself. However, Luna playfully slapped him on the back of the head and mumbled, "Be nice."

"Stiles, wait up! Stiles! Stiles!" Scott yelled as he grabbed his sister's arm and pulled her along. They hid behind a tree. Luna, who had followed them, saw Stiles fall to the ground and flashlights approach. Luna quickly made herself invisible.

"An advantage of being a witch" Luna grinned.

"Hold it right there!" commanded a deep voice from the darkness.

"Scott?" Zoe whispered to her brother. "Shh!" he hissed back.

"Hang on, hang on! This little delinquent belongs to me" said the Sheriff, followed by Marco. "Dad, how are you doing? Marco?" Stiles asked calmly. "So, you and, uh Zoe are listen to all of my phone calls?" the Sheriff asked his son, referring to his friend's daughter. "No. Heh...not all of them" Stiles began. "We leave out the boring ones" he added. "Now, where are your usual partners in crime?" Marco intervened, listening for three more heartbeats in the forest. "Who, Scott and Zoe? S-Scott's home. He said he wanted to get a good night's sleep for first day back at school tomorrow" Stiles explained. "And what about Zoe?" Marco asked. "Zoe? Yes...you know her. Zoe, she needs her beauty sleep. So she yelled at me and went to bed when I asked her. It's just me...In the woods...Alone" Stiles lied to the two of them Sheriffs without batting an eyelid.
"That sounds like Zoe" the Sheriff muttered. "Scott, Zoe, are you out there? Scott? Zoe?" the Sheriff shouted into space, armed with a flashlight to make sure his son hadn't lied to him, which he definitely had. But there was no answer. "Well, young man, I'm gonna walk you back to your car, and then you and I are gonna have a conversation about something called 'invasion of privacy'" the Sheriff said as Stiles tried to argue against it. Marco continued to look around, knowing full well that his children were in the forest, but said nothing and continued walking.

"You knew and you didn't do anything?!" Melissa asked her ex-husband indignantly and hit him on the back of the head. Marco rubbed the back of his head and said: "I wanted them to grow up and be independent." "With a murderer in the forest?!" Melissa asked again. "Now that I think about it, it really wasn't my best performance" Marco admitted, earning laughter from his brothers.

Suddenly the ground shook and a herd of deer rushed past as if fleeing from something.

A few minutes later, when silence had returned, the twins screamed. They had been bitten by a wolf.

Everyone looked shocked, and most of them knew what would happen next.

Luna ran over and just saw the twins running away. When she turned around, she was facing a wolf. "Hello, where's your pack, Wolfi?" Luna smiled innocently at the wolf. The wolf seemed confused. "Okay, Wolfi, I'll play with you" Luna said and cleared her throat briefly. "OMG, A WOLF! HELP!" she shouted, as if she was panicking. The wolf was still looking at her confused. She sighed and said, "Okay, Wolfi, this is getting really boring. Why don't you attack me?"

"Luna! Are you really offering the werewolf the chance to attack you?!" Sirius asked angrily. "Well, as you can see, I want to make a fool of him" Luna explained, shrugging her shoulders as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

The wolf looked at Luna for a moment, confused, but then overcame his shock and attacked. Luna skillfully dodged, performing backflips, somersaults and other acrobatic tricks so that the wolf could not catch her. After a while he stopped, exhausted from the pursuit, just like the young witch.

Luna looked at her imaginary watch. "Oh no, I'm sorry, Wolfi. I really have to go now. First of all, it's going to be really boring if you don't catch me, and secondly, school starts tomorrow. So I have to go home now." She said goodbye with a smile and teleported herself home.

Luna laughed and said, "Oh, come on, the view was priceless."

Laura laughed too. "Man, I love her," she said, and received a kiss from Luna. Laura then pretended to faint, which made them both laugh again.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

"Luna, wake up, wake up, wake up!" Nina's voice reached her as she jumped around on Luna's bed. "Five more minutes" Luna mumbled and turned onto her other side. "Luna, get up!" Marie called from below. "I don't want to. You can't force me!" Luna called back. "Get up before I call your father and he gets a bucket of water!" Marie warned, still from below.

"He would never dare," Luna replied, already imagining Marie's grin.

"You know he would. He's done it before" Oliver said, remembering the time Luna wouldn't get up. Luna groaned softly, but nodded in agreement.

"I know, and then Grandma yelled at him for an hour because I got sick" Luna said, grinning at her father, who was still shaking at the thought.

Oliver, Luna and Nina laughed at their father.

Luna grumbled and groaned before throwing off the blanket and starting to get ready.

She left the bathroom, perfectly styled in her outfit and high heels.

Everyone except her family and the people she knew looked at Luna. "What is it this time?" asked Luna. "I still don't get it. Why are you wearing high heels?" asked Stiles. Luna looked at him strangely, as if he had grown a second head. "Why? Hmm, I ask you: Why are you breathing?" Luna asked him in return. "Well, because it's vital" Stiles answered her question as if it were obvious. "See, and now you've answered your question" said Luna.

The others still looked confused and Luna groaned. "Okay, girls, please stand up" Luna asked the girls, who promptly stood up. Luna stood next to them in her high heels. "You see, I'm about the same height as them" Luna explained.

"Derek, please come here" Luna asked her future husband. He did as she said, and the others looked at him in shock. "Wow, he really likes her" Keith whispered to his wife, who just smiled approvingly.

Luna leaned on Derek and took off her heels. "There, thank you" she thanked him. Derek, visibly confused, just blinked and sat down again. The others giggled quietly to themselves.

The black-haired girl joined the girls again, this time without her heels. "As you can easily see, I'm much smaller than the others. That's why my heels are vital to me" Luna explained and motioned for the others to sit down again.

"Any questions?" she asked the others. Everyone shook their heads and turned their attention back to the screen.

Luna went downstairs and kissed her sister on the forehead. "Dad!" she called. There was a crash and a groan. "What?!" Sirius Black replied. "Come on! You have to drive me to school. Have you forgotten?!" she called again.

Sirius came down the stairs in his dressing gown. "Okay, we can go" he said, reaching for his car keys before driving Luna to school.

Everyone looked at Sirius. "What?" he asked innocently. "Is it always like this?" Laura asked. "Yep, if it wasn't like that, I'd be worried about my dad" Luna replied. "What. I'm never awake before 10 a.m., okay? Just let me" Sirius said, pouting. "Sometimes I think I have four children instead of three" Marie sighed, causing everyone to laugh. "Who's going to tell her?" Eli whispered to his sisters and cousins, who just giggled. "What? Tell what?" Marie asked worriedly. "Oh, just forget it. You'll see" Laura T. replied.

"Should I pick you up later, puppy?" Sirius asked his daughter, using the usual nickname. "No, it's fine. I'll be home sometime" she replied and got out. Luna went to a bench, sat down and looked around.

After a while, a black-haired girl came and sat on the bench as well. "Hey, you must be Allison, right?" Luna asked the newcomer. "Yes, that's right, but how do you know me?" Allison asked confused. "I'm your cousin. My name is Luna, nice to meet you" Luna replied. "Wow, finally I'm not alone anymore. I actually only have my parents and I'm an only child, so I don't know what it's like to have a sister or, in this case, a cousin. Oh, and it's a pleasure to meet you too" Allison said, smiling.

"Aww, how sweet" said Luna, touched by Allison's shy demeanor. Allison just smiled shyly at her

After a while, while the cousins ​​were talking, Allison's cell phone rang. She answered and said, "Mom, three calls on my first day is a little overdoing it"

She rummaged around in her bag. "Yes, everything except a pen. Oh, my God, I didn't actually forget a pen, have I?" she asked hysterically about a lost pen.

Allison hung up just as the headmaster came out to greet the two girls.

"Allison Argent and Luna Black?" asked the headmaster. The two nodded and smiled and answered at the same time, "Yes, sir."

"Well, come on, girls, I'll show you where your first lesson is" said the headmaster as they walked together towards the school building.

"Ms. Black, you said you didn't grow up in Scotland?" asked the man, turning to Luna. "Yes, I was born and raised in Scotland, but I spent the first eleven to twelve years of my life in Paris" Luna answered him.

"And you said you didn't grow up in San Francisco?" he asked Allison. "No, but we lived there for more than a year, which is unusual for my family," she replied. "Well, hopefully Beacon Hills will be your last stop for you two for a while" said the headmaster.

The principal led them to their first class. As soon as they entered the room, everyone present started staring at the girls.

"Class, this are our new students, Allison Argent and Luna Black" the principal said as he pointed to Allison and then to Luna to introduce them to the class. "Please do your best to make them feel welcome" he added before leaving the room. Allison and Luna then went to two empty seats.

One of the empty seats was behind a boy with a buzz cut hairstyle and next to a girl with a loose updo. The girl had dark, slightly wavy hair that was partially wrapped around her face while the rest was pulled up in a casual bun. Some strands fell loosely around her face, giving the hairstyle a relaxed and natural look. The other seat was behind someone who looked like a puppy.

"I don't look like a puppy" Scott said with a distinctly puppy-like expression as everyone looked at him.

"Whatever you say, Puppy" Nina replied with her sweet voice and a wide grin. Scott turned to Stiles, who was trying hard to hold back his laughter.

Allison sat behind the boy who looked like a puppy, while Luna chose the seat behind the boy with the buzz cut and next to the girl with the loose updo.

As Luna sat down, the boy turned to look at her, and she gave him a friendly smile.

"Hey, I'm Stiles" Stiles introduced himself, holding out his hand and smiling, to which Luna shook her head but smiled back. The girl next to her also turned to Luna. "Hey, I'm Zoe" she said, holding out her hand as well, just like her best friend.

"Hey, I'm Luna" Luna introduced herself, smiling, which made Stiles and Zoe smile as well.

"Ms. Black, Ms. McCall, Mr. Stilinski, am I disturbing you?" the teacher asked, causing the three to look up at him.

"Yes" the three answered simultaneously, making each other laugh.

"Oh great, now there are three" the teacher sighed and went back to the board.

"Great," Stilinski sighed. "That's my daughter" Marco and Sirius said proudly, while Luna, Zoe and Stiles smiled at each other.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

After class, Luna went to her locker, which happened to be next to Allison's. The two girls burst into laughter.

Luna opened her locker, put her books in it, and closed it again. Allison turned around and smiled. Luna followed her gaze and saw Scott. The two exchanged glances as if they had hearts in their eyes.

"Aww, how sweet. I get to see my baby cousin fall in love" Luna teased Allison, wiping away an imaginary tear as she playfully bumped her hip against Allison's. Allison immediately blushed as Luna continued laughing.

"No!" Chris said to his daughter, who blushed as Luna laughed at her cousin. Scott glanced at Allison, his face slightly flushed as Chris looked between the two.

"You couldn't choose better than my son, Allison" Marco said, grinning. "Dad, they're back together" Zoe added.

While Luna was still laughing at Allison, a strawberry-blonde student approached the couple.

"Uhh, here I come" Lydia said to get her attention, looking at the screen in fascination.

"That jacket is absolutely killer. Where'd you get it?" the girl asked. "My mom was a buyer for a boutique back in San Francisco" Allison replied.

The girl then turned to Luna and asked, "This outfit is super cute. Where did you get it?" "I wasn't a buyer back in San Francisco, but I was in Scotland and Paris" Luna replied. "And you two are my new best friends" she added.

Zoe looked at Lydia in shock and pretended to be hurt. "Lydia, how could you? I thought we had something special" she said, putting her hand over her heart in mock drama.

"Zoe, you are my best friend. You know no one can replace you. I love you. Please forgive me" Lydia begged her best friend. "I love you too, Lydia. You are forgiven, but please don't do that again" Zoe replied, and the two best friends fell into each other's arms.

"You're replacing me so quickly, Lyds, after all these years?" asked Zoe, who had joined the girls. She pretended to be hurt and dramatically held her heart to emphasize her words.

"I'm sorry, Z, please forgive me" Lydia pouted. "But only because it's you" Zoe replied, and everyone laughed. Then Zoe turned to the two black-haired girls: "Hey, I'm Zoe McCall. And you are?" "I'm Luna Marie Black. You can also just call me Luna or Lu, but you already know that" Luna said with a grin, earning a nod and a smile from Zoe.

"And I'm Allison Argent, nice to meet you" Allison concluded, and they laughed again. Suddenly a boy said "Heyyy" while putting his hands around Lydia's waist. "Hey, Jackson" Lydia smiled and kissed him.

"I'm sorry" Lydia said to the girls, who responded with giggles.

"I've seen worse" Allison replied, smiling.

"I've gotten used to it" Zoe said, shaking her head with a smile.

"I've done worse" Luna said at the same time, causing everyone to pause for a moment.

"Why isn't anyone shocked about it?" Stiles asked Luna's parents. "Because we know she takes after Sirius, and he's just like that. So we're not surprised anymore" Marie replied. "Yeah, exactly, nothing can shock us anymore...okay, yes, I was shocked that she would get together with a werewolf, even though I really like that werewolf" Sirius added. "'Like'? Dad, that's an understatement" Oliver interjected.

Finally, the two ended their kiss and turned to the three girls.

"So, this weekend, there's a party" Lydia announced. "A party?" Allison repeated. "Yeah, Friday night. You should come" Jackson added, addressing them directly.

"Oh sorry, Friday is family night, but thanks for the invitation," Allison said. Zoe and Luna looked at each other and thought they had realized that it was a lie. "What about you, Luna, are you coming?" Lydia asked Luna. "I'm not going to miss a party," she said and winked at her with a smile.

"Uh, I can't. Its family night this Friday. Thanks for asking" Allison said to apologize. Zoe and Luna exchanged a look, both thinking it was obvious that this was an excuse. "And what about you, Luna, are you coming?" Lydia turned to Luna. "I'm not going to miss a party" Luna replied and winked at Lydia with a smile.

"You sure? Everyone's going to after the scrimmage" Jackson said to Allison. "You mean like football?" she asked.  "Football's a joke in Beacon. They Sport here is lacrosse. We've won the state championship for the past three years" Jackson explained. "Because of a certain team captain..." Lydia added with a smile.

"Well, we have practice in a few minutes. That is, if you don't have anything else-" Jackson suggested. "Yeah, well, I actually wanted to..." Allison began, but was interrupted by Lydia. "Perfect! You're coming" she decided and pulled the three of them outside.

While Luna sat in the bleachers, she ignored her surroundings and was engrossed in her cell phone. She wasn't usually interested in sports, unless there were attractive guys involved or basketball was involved.

"That's right" Zoe, Allison, Cora, Laura and Lydia confirmed in unison, making Luna grin.

"Well, do you like her any better?" Keith asked his son, alluding to the fact that Derek had played basketball in his youth. Derek smiled and whispered to his father, "I liked her from the start."

Luna only looked up when the crowd started clapping. Then she joined in.

"You still do that, except when it's a competition" Eli said to his mother, laughing. Luna smiled gently at her son.

After training, Luna said goodbye to Allison and Lydia and went with Zoe to her friends, since Zoe had mentioned that she wanted to introduce them to them.

"Hey Stiles!" she called to the boy. He turned around and waved before walking towards her with Scott. "Hey, Zoe" Stiles greeted.  "You remember Luna, right?" she asked her best friend. "Sure. Hey, Luna" Stiles greeted. "Scotty, this is Luna. Luna, you already know Stiles, my best friend, and this is my twin brother Scott" Zoe introduced the three of them to each other.

"Very pleased" they said at the same time and laughed. "Hey, Zoe, are you coming into the woods with me to look for my inhaler and your cell phone?" Scott asked his twin. "Sure" she replied. "Hey, can I come too? Another helping hand is useful" Luna suggested. "Yeah, why not" Stiles said, shrugging his shoulders.

"You lost your inhaler and your cell phone in the woods?!" Melissa asked her children, shocked.

The twins looked at each other and just shrugged. "Dad got me a new cell phone" Zoe admitted. "And I don't need my inhaler anymore" Scott added. "You did what?!" Melissa asked her ex-husband in shock. Marco made himself small. Melissa was frustrated when Marco tried to help with money. She wanted to be able to take care of her children herself.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━
"

I'm not crossing that river with my new boots" Zoe stated firmly. Stiles sighed and offered to carry her on his back. "Thanks, Stiles, that's exactly why we're friends and that's why I love you" Zoe said as she climbed onto his back. They laughed together while Stiles grumbled under his breath.

Stiles gave Zoe a piggyback ride as they crossed the river. When they reached the other bank, Stiles carefully lowered her down. "I-I don't know what it was. It was like I had all the time in the world to catch the ball" Scott began to explain.

"And that's not the only weird thing. I-I can hear things I shouldn't be able to hear. Smell things" Scott continued. "Smell things? Like what?" Stiles asked curiously. "Like the mint mojito gum in your pocket. And the strawberry lipstick in Luna's bag" Zoe interjected. "I don't even have any mint mojito-" Stiles began to argue, then rummaged in his pocket and actually found the gum.

Luna also rummaged in her pocket and found the lipstick. She traced her lips, which caught the boys' attention. "What?" she asked, noticing their stares.

Everyone looked at Luna and she returned their gazes. "What? You never know who you'll meet or who you might kiss next" Luna said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Why don't you tighten your lips now?" Laura asked with a grin. "Good idea, thanks" Luna replied, receiving a winking smile from Laura.

"Can you stop that?!" Derek asked, visibly frustrated. "Why, jealous?" Laura teased her brother, who just rolled his eyes. Derek turned his gaze briefly to Luna, who actually traced her lips, and then turned his attention back to the screen.

"So all this started with the bite?" Stiles stated, ignoring what Luna was doing. "What if it's like an infection? Like, my body's flooding with adrenaline before I go into shock or something?" Scott asked worriedly. "You know what? I actually think I've heard of this- it's a specific kind of infection" Stiles began to explain while Scott and Zoe turned to him and Luna just rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Are you serious?" Scott asked if Stiles really knew. "Yeah. Yeah, I think it's called lycanthropy" Stiles replied firmly. "What's that? Is that bad?" Scott asked, to which Luna just laughed and Zoe rolled her eyes. Zoe quietly turned to Luna and whispered, "I'm sorry. He's not exactly the brightest."
"Oh, yeah, it's the worst. But only once a month" Stiles explained. "Once a month?" Scott repeated incredulously. "Yes, when you both get your period or on the night of the full moon" Luna added before Stiles howled theatrically like a wolf. "Idiot" Zoe said with a laugh, playfully pushing Stiles backwards.

"Hey, you were the ones who heard a wolf howling!" Stiles defended himself. "Hey, there could be something seriously wrong with us" Scott said. "I know! You're werewolves" Stiles continued his theory. "Luna, why don't you say something about that" Zoe asked her new best friend. "I'm sorry, but Stiles is right" Luna agreed, supporting him. "Ha, see!" Stiles exclaimed triumphantly. Luna added quietly, leaning toward Zoe, "Remind me to never take Stiles' side or agree with him again." Zoe nodded, smiling.
"Hey! I have a right to be right" Stiles defended himself. Luna and Zoe could only laugh.

"Okay, obviously I'm kidding. But, if you see me in shop class trying to melt all the silver I can find, it's 'cause Friday's a full moon" Stiles explained. Suddenly Scott stopped.

"No, I-I could have sworn this was it. I saw the body, the deer came running. Then we lost our inhaler and cell phone..." Scott explained as he leaned down to examine the ground more closely. "Maybe the killer moved the body?" Luna speculated.

"If he did, I hope he left the inhaler and the cell phone. The inhaler is like, eighty bucks" Scott explained. "Eh...guys" Stiles interrupted, and they turned to him. They saw a young man who appeared to be a few years older than the teenagers, wearing black clothing and green eyes. He moved a little closer to them, but still kept a safe distance. "What are you doing here?" began the young man. "Huh? This is private property" he added emotionlessly.

"Wow, great show, bro" Laura said, playfully patting him on the shoulder. "Maybe you could try some kindness and a smile" she suggested with a grin while he just rolled his eyes.

"Eh...we were just looking for something, but..." Scott began, but stopped when he saw the man's look. "Uh, forget it" he added resignedly.

Luna rolled her eyes and tuned in. "What that idiot actually wanted to say is that he's looking for his inhaler and she's looking for her phone" Luna explained as she pointed at Scott and Zoe.

He tossed Scott an inhaler and Zoe her phone. Then he looked at Luna, turned around and simply walked away.

Luna looked at Stiles, who stood there with his mouth open, visibly shocked. "Um...all right, come on, I gotta get to work" Scott said. "Yes, and I have to study" Zoe added. However, Stiles stopped her. "Guys" he began. "That was Derek Hale! You remember, right? He's only like a few years older than us" he asked his friends.

"Remember what?" asked Luna. "His family. They all burned to death in a fire, like ten years ago" Stiles explained. "Wasn't that actually six years ago?" the black-haired woman interjected, but everyone just shrugged their shoulders.

"I wonder what he's doing back..." Zoe said. "Well, he looks really hot" Luna chimed in, voicing her opinion. Everyone looked at her a little puzzled. "What? Come on, you have to admit, he looks really melting" she continued.

"She's right" Zoe agreed with her best friend, causing the boys to both look at her strangely. "I finally have a friend I can talk to about boys" Luna said smiling at Zoe, who smiled back. "Come on" Stiles urged, fed up with the topic, and they finally followed him.

"So you think I'm hot?" Derek asked with a grin. Luna looked at Derek and replied, "No, you definitely misheard that."

"I don't want to say anything, Zoe, but you found your cousin attractive" Lydia teased her best friend. "I noticed that too, Lydia. Thanks for the reminder" Zoe replied dryly.

"Well, Zoe can use the excuse that she didn't know Derek was her cousin at the time. What's your excuse, Luna?" Cora asked with a grin. Luna just looked at her slightly embarrassed without saying anything in response.

"Ha, I told you someone would fall in love with my son" Keith chimed in, laughing. "Hey! I said he was hot, not that I was in love with him" Luna clarified. When everyone started grinning and she realized what she had just said, she shouted, "Oh, everyone shut up."

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

It was already evening when Derek was walking through the forest. Suddenly a scream broke the silence and he immediately ran in the direction of the noise. When he arrived, he saw a little girl and the Alpha standing together.

"Nina!" Nina's siblings and parents shouted. She just shrugged her shoulders.

"Hey Wolfi, you look funny" said the little girl and laughed. The Alpha looked at her sideways, surprised that she didn't run away like the others. He growled threateningly and made a move to attack her.

But before the Alpha could strike, Derek jumped in and transformed into his werewolf form. He growled challengingly at the Alpha. The little girl stood protected behind him and continued to laugh, seemingly unfazed by the danger. Derek attacked the Alpha and scratched him, which briefly distracted him. At that moment, the Beta grabbed the girl, lifted her in his arms and ran with her to the Hale House to bring her to safety.

When they arrived at Hale House, Derek immediately asked worriedly, "Is everything okay with you, little one?" "Yes, everything okay. Wolfi just wanted to play with me" she answered sweetly. Derek rolled his eyes at her innocent manner. He looked deep into her eyes and noticed the stormy gray eyes that he had already seen that afternoon. "You look familiar" he said thoughtfully.  "Oh really? You don't" she replied, giggling. Derek couldn't help but smile. The little girl reminded him of his own little sister, Cora, which sent a wave of tenderness through him.

"Awww" Cora cooed, hugging her brother, who returned the smile and hugged her gently back.

"I'm Nina Kiara Black, very pleased to meet you" she introduced herself with a smile and held out her small hand. "Derek Hale. Also pleased" he replied and shook her hand. At that moment he remembered where he knew her from.

"Nina, didn't you move here yesterday or something?" he asked her. "Oh yes, with my parents and my big sister Luna" she answered him. "Hey, speaking of sister. How old are you Derek?" she asked the green-eyed man.

"I'm 23 years old" Derek answered. "Uh, great! My sister is 18. So, when are you going to marry my sister, Derek?" Nina asked with innocent directness. Derek just looked at her confused, unsure if she was joking or actually meant what she was saying.

"Yeah, when are they getting married?" Talia asked one of her grandchildren. "Well, that depends on how you look at it. In her eyes probably quite early, but from our point of view rather late" Laura T. explained in response to her grandmother's question.

She noticed his look and asked, "Too early?" "Yes, definitely too early. I'll ask again in a few months" she replied with a smile. "One question, Nina. Are you always so happy?" Derek asked. "Yes, actually" she said and laughed. "Okay, come on, we'll take you home" he suggested. "Oh no, I don't want to" she whined, whereupon Derek laughed for the first time in years. Despite her reluctance, they set off.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

The two were standing in front of the Black House when Nina asked Derek, "Derek, why can't I stay with you?" "Because your family would notice that you're not home and would worry" he answered. "Oh no, they won't worry. They haven't even noticed that I'm gone" she replied frankly. Derek was about to reply when he suddenly heard voices coming from inside the house.

"Luna, where's your sister?" a woman's voice called out from inside the house. "I don't know, I haven't been home all day" Luna replied. "Please look for her. You know how dangerous it can be at night" the woman's voice urged worriedly. "Mom, listen, we're not in Scotland anymore, it's not like that here—" Luna began, but then stopped. "Okay, I'll go look for her" she finally gave in and stepped outside. Derek and Nina watched Luna look around.  "Nina! Where are you?!" she called into the darkness.

"Very efficient" Stiles said sarcastically. "Thanks, Stiles" Luna replied with a smile.

"See, someone noticed you were missing" Derek grinned at Nina, who just crossed her arms. He knelt down in front of her, looked straight at her and said, "Go to her."

She looked at him with a sad look. "But then I might never see you again" Nina explained why she didn't want to go home. "Hey, I have a feeling we'll definitely see each other again" Derek encouraged her. He saw her face light up. "Exactly, because I go to the forest every day" she said euphorically. "No, it's too dangerous in the forest" he warned her not to go into the forest. "But you live there" she replied. "Yes, but I grew up there. I have a house there" he continued.

She sighed resignedly. "Fine" she finally gave in. Derek smiled at her, but as Nina was about to leave, he held her back. "Wait, this" he said seriously, referring to the incident in which she was almost attacked by an Alpha and he had saved her, "has to stay between us."

"Ok, I promise" she said.  Derek smiled as he turned away, but she stopped him. "Pinkie promise?" she asked, holding out her pinkie finger. Derek turned around and looked at her outstretched finger. "I don't know. I'm not really one for pinkie promise" he admitted. "I can't really promise you without a pinkie promise" she replied defiantly. He sighed, then smiled and linked his pinkie with hers.

"Awww" everyone said and looked at Derek, who just rolled his eyes and smiled.

After they made the pinkie promise, she started to move, but then turned around, came back, and hugged him tightly. Then she walked away. Derek watched her go, smiling, as she joined Luna.

"Luna!" Nina exclaimed. Luna turned around and immediately hugged her. "Where were you?" she asked worriedly. "In the forest" Nina answered simply. Luna looked at her sternly. "You know the forest is dangerous, especially at night. It's forbidden to go there alone" Luna admonished Nina with emphatic concern in her voice.

"Yes, but what did you do when you were forbidden to go into the forbidden forest? Hm?" Nina asked her defiantly. "I was in the forest—" Luna began. "Ha!" Nina interrupted triumphantly. "But I was literally ten years older than you. You're only three years old" Luna explained patiently.

Everyone turned their gaze to Nina. "It's because of my side of the family. Our children develop differently than normal children" Marie explained.

"I'm not three. I'm five" Nina insisted. "You may be five in appearance and knowledge, but biologically you're three and you know it" Luna replied. "So how old are you then, hmm?" Nina asked. "I'm 18 biologically, in appearance and knowledge" Luna explained patiently.

Luna looked up from Nina and looked around. "Nina, go inside" she said in a serious voice. "Why?" Nina asked confused. "Just do what I tell you" Luna instructed and Nina reluctantly obeyed. Luna looked around again, then took a few steps away from the house so that she was now standing in front of the house. She stretched her arms up and mumbled something in an incomprehensible language before returning inside. Derek also made his way home.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━
A

fter school, Zoe had written Luna a message.

(Z = Zoe, L = Luna)

Z: Luna, do you remember the joke you and Stiles made yesterday about werewolves?

L: Yes, what about it?

Z: It's true. We are werewolves

L: Okay, you have to stay calm now. Listen, today is a full moon, so try to calm down and find your anchor. That's the best advice I can give you right now.

Z: Okay, thanks anyway

L: Please take care of yourself, Zoe, Okay?

Z: I will, don't worry. You too, Luna.

After sending the message, Luna got ready for the party. She opted for a half-up, half-down hairstyle and applied only light makeup that accentuated her natural features. For the outfit, she chose a cute burgundy dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline and short sleeves that was shorter in the front and longer in the back. She paired it with matching burgundy heels and held a black clutch in her hand. Perfectly styled and ready for the evening, she checked her reflection one last time before heading downstairs.

Lydia screamed when she saw Luna. "I love that dress! Please let me go through your closet" she begged. Luna laughed and replied, "Sure, next time we have a slumber party, you can browse as much as you want."

"Why can't I go to the party too?" Nina whined as Luna came down the stairs. "Well, because you're too young, sweetheart" Luna replied, giving her a loving kiss on the forehead and then making her way out.

"Stop, stop" Sirius called as Luna was about to leave the house. She turned to him. "What?" she asked. "No boys, got it?" he said. Luna smiled sweetly and replied, "Depends on how you define 'no boys.' Do you mean no boys from my class, from my school, or no boys younger than me?"

Marie laughed while Sirius looked at his older daughter in confusion. "By 'no boys' I mean no boys. None from your class, from your school and none younger than you" he clarified. Luna grinned at her father and asked, "So, boys who are older are okay?" Sirius, who was now noticeably losing his patience, answered firmly, "Not even them!"

She gave her parents one last look. "Okay, whatever you say" Luna said bluntly and took a few steps away from the house. "You're not going to listen to me, are you?" her father asked. Luna just turned around and smiled. "You know me, Dad" she replied and made her way to Lydia's party. As she walked, she had the feeling she was being watched. And indeed, she felt the gaze of none other than Derek Hale, who was standing in the shadows.

"Seriously? Are you obsessed with her already? But why am I even asking - of course you are. You've known her for a long time" Cora remarked, laughing. Laura added, also amused, "Hey, I can't blame him. Have you seen her? I would be obsessed with her too."

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

When Luna arrived at the party, she looked around. The room was already full, and the dim lighting combined with the loud music created a lively atmosphere.

"Wow, I'm hot. See that? I could easily marry myself" Luna boasted as she admired herself on the screen. "You know, Luna, instead of marrying yourself, I'll sacrifice myself and marry you!" Laura exclaimed euphorically. They both laughed heartily, eliciting a growl from Derek. Derek's reaction only made them laugh even louder.

Luna stepped out onto the terrace. Everywhere people were dancing, drinking and letting themselves be carried away by the music. As she looked around, she noticed Scott and Allison just entering the party together. In a corner she spotted Lydia and Jackson kissing passionately against a post. When Lydia returned her gaze, Luna made her way towards them.

"Hey sweetie, you look even hotter than usual" Lydia said as Luna walked up to them. "Hey, thanks, you too. Could it be that you, Ms. Lydia Martin, throw the best parties in Beacon Hills?" Luna replied with a teasing smile. Lydia nodded in agreement and gave the black-haired girl an admiring look.

"Of course I do" Lydia replied proudly, making Luna laugh.

"Of course I do" Lydia said, to which Luna shook her head, laughing.

"Well, I don't want to bother you any further. I'll join the others" Luna said with a smile and started to leave, but Lydia held her back. "How about you find someone and a bit too having fun? Or, I'll find a great candidate for you, and then we could even go on a double date. How does that sound?" she asked Luna with a mischievous smile.

"Thanks for the offer, Lydia, but no thanks. I'm not the type for one-night stands or double dates" Luna explained. Jackson chimed in, "Maybe it wouldn't be just for one night, depending on who you're going out with." Luna smiled sweetly and replied, "I'd rather not. My father banned me from boys today anyway."

"Wow, you're listening to me" Sirius said with a grin. "Yes. No," Luna replied mischievously and laughed.

"And you listen to your father?" they both asked at the same time. Luna laughed. "Of course not. But seriously, I'll mingle and you guys just pick up where you left off, okay?" she suggested. Lydia and Jackson nodded in agreement. Luna smiled and walked away from them to blend in with the crowd.

On one side, Luna saw Scott and Allison dancing together with their arms around each other, which made her smile. However, when she turned around, her smile faded a little as she spotted Derek on the opposite side. Their eyes met and they looked very intensely into each other's eyes.

"Wow, you can smell the sexual tension from miles away" Marco said with a grin. Everyone looked at him and he just shrugged. "You know, Marco, sometimes it feels like I'm the older brother" Keith admitted with a grin. "Oh, shut up" Marco muttered, to which everyone laughed.

When a dog barked at Derek, he turned to him and the dog immediately calmed down. Luna regained her composure and then looked up at the moon. Suddenly she felt her nails growing. She looked down and saw that they were claws. She looked around in a panic and quickly hurried to the nearest bathroom. But as always, Derek's confused eyes followed her as she left the terrace.

"Bad wau wau" said Nina, pouting. "What's wrong with you? You're not a werewolf" Derek asked worriedly. "Um... Albus, will this be shown?" asked Luna anxiously. "Oh yes, that is what is shown, and not only that" Albus replied. "We can stop here. I mean, my life isn't that interesting" Luna tried to deflect before it came out how much she really likes Derek and how scared she is of this. "This will not be interrupted, little Luna" Albus said firmly. "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" Marie asked her daughter worriedly. But Luna just waved her hand and continued staring at the screen.

When she was in the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes had turned a bright, beautiful blue and her fingernails had turned into claws. Luna concentrated and managed to retract her claws and make her eyes look normal again. But suddenly she felt a stinging sensation on her back. She turned around, exposing her back. There she saw a fresh triskelion burned into her skin.

All of the Hales stared at the screen in shock as they saw the scene. "You are soulmates" Talia stated, and everyone turned their gaze to the couple. Derek looked at Luna, who just continued to stare at the screen. "You knew?" Derek asked her. "I had an idea. Nothing more" Luna confessed shyly.

She covered her back again, let her hair down extra to make sure nothing was showing, and walked back into the party with a smile as if nothing had happened.

"So you're embarrassed about being paired with Derek, right?" Laura asked with a grin to lighten the situation a bit. "Don't worry, we can just say we are paired" she added, winking at Luna. Luna laughed, causing Derek to growl slightly.

Luna arrived just in time to see Scott staggering out of the house. Allison followed him, and Luna in turn followed Allison. "Allison" the black-haired woman called to her cousin. Allison turned around as they saw Scott drive away. Just as Allison was about to say something, another voice interrupted her, "Allison, Luna. I'm a friend of Scott's."

They turned around and saw Derek Hale. Allison looked back again to see Scott driving away, and when she turned back around, Derek was standing right in front of them. "My name is Derek" he introduced himself, smiling slightly. "He asked me to take you both home" he continued.

"Thanks. But I don't think that—" Luna started, but she stopped herself when she saw Stiles get into his jeep and drive away.

"Wow, thanks, Stiles!" Luna thanked him sarcastically. "Hey, no problem, sis" Stiles replied with a wink.

Luna let out a low growl. She turned back to Derek with a smile and replied sweetly, "Why not."

They got into Derek's car: Allison and Luna in the back, Derek in the front. If they had more time, Luna would have taken a closer look at the hot Camaro. I say, if the owner is already hot, his vehicle must be hot too, she thought to herself with a smile.

Luna stared at the screen in shock, unable to believe that her thoughts were also on display.

Derek just grinned cockily at her and she mumbled, "Shut up."

When they arrived at Allison's house, Luna got out with her and looked at the building. "Wow, fancy house" she said to Allison. "Thanks" Allison smiled at her cousin.

"Do you know what's wrong with Scott? I mean, everything was great, and then suddenly he leaves. Did I do something wrong?" Allison asked the black-haired woman, looking for the error in herself.

"Let's not even start like that, Alli Belly. You hear? We never blame ourselves when he's the problem" Luna said seriously. "Mom's right. That's what she always tells us" Diana added, and Luna smiled at her daughter.

"Speaking of boys. Children, do you have any partners in the future?" Luna asked her children curiously. The children were about to answer when Derek beat them to it. "What! Oh no, the kids don't have a partner. Definitely not, just over my dead body!" growled Derek. Luna laughed and said, "And that's exactly what I intended."

Luna took Allison's hands and said, "No. Listen, don't even think about blaming yourself. It wasn't your fault."

"Look, Zoe didn't show up either because she wasn't feeling well. It's probably a Twins thing. But if I were you, I'd let him explain it on Monday" she advised.

"Okay, thanks" Allison said, hugging her goodbye. "Are you sure you don't want to stay? I don't know if I should leave you alone with him" she expressed her concerns about Luna getting back in the car.

"Very sure, Alli. I've dealt with much worse guys. Oh, and tell Uncle Chris and Aunt Vic I said hi" Luna said. Allison nodded and went into the house.

Luna got into the front of the car. "You've had to deal with worse guys than me?" Derek asked incredulously after hearing everything.

"Yeah. I mean, sure, I've dealt with a werewolf before, but he was more dangerous than you. And I'm not talking about the Alpha" she told him. Derek was shocked for a moment before turning his attention back to the road.

"How do you know what I am? Or rather, what are you?" he asked her curiously.

"I'm a witch, and if I were you I would go into the forest and find Scott and Zoe" she advised him.

"Wait, you're an Argent. You can't be a witch. Argents are just werewolf hunters" he contradicted her and drove towards the forest.

Luna sighed and explained, "I'm not an Argent. I'm a Black. Just because I'm related to the Argents doesn't mean I'm one of them."

"If you're a witch, then I could really use your help with Scott and Zoe" Derek admitted. Luna smiled in confirmation and nodded.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━
T

he next moment they reached the forest.

Luna took Allison's jacket, which she had left in the car, and hung it on a tree to find it later. As they waited, Luna began to feel cold. Derek noticed and placed his leather jacket around her shoulders. She smiled gratefully at him and he returned the smile.

"Aww, what a gentleman" Cora said, grinning. "Well, now Luna sees what kind of husband she's getting" Derek replied, smiling and looking at Luna, who just smiled silently to herself.

After a while they saw a werewolf that looked very similar to Scott.

"Where are you?" asked Zoe's friends, who had no idea what had happened to her. But Zoe didn't answer. The werewolves in the room exchanged worried glances and then looked sadly and sympathetically at Zoe, forgetting for a moment that this had all already happened.

"Where is she?" Scott asked in a deep, menacing werewolf voice. "She's safe...from you" Derek answered calmly and attacked Scott. They both rolled down the hill until Derek finally caught Scott against a tree. Luna arrived, but there was still no sign of werewolf Zoe.

"What did you do with her?" Scott growled, but Derek raised his head as if he had heard something. He interrupted the older twin and said quietly, "Shh, quiet. Too late. They're already here. Run!"
Derek took Luna's hand and ran away with her. As they looked back, they saw the hunters surrounding Scott and tying him to the tree with an arrow. Luckily the arrow only hit his arm.

When the hunter in the middle lowered his crossbow, he was recognized as Chris Argent. "Derek, you distract the hunters and I free Scott" Luna suggested a plan. To her surprise, Derek agreed. "Take him!" Chris was heard shouting.

"Dad!" Allison yelled at her father, who just shrugged his shoulders. You could hear a growl from Marco and he started to attack Chris, but Melissa stopped him, "Calm down."

Marco looked at Melissa with his werewolf face, his eyes sparkling with anger. She gently caressed his face and gave him a kiss to calm him down. Everyone else looked at her in shock; no one expected such a reaction.

When the two broke away from the kiss, Marco looked at his former lover and whispered, "Why did you do that?"

"Because I love you. I've never stopped loving you, Marco" Melissa confessed. Marco looked into her eyes and replied quietly, "I never stopped loving you either, Melissa."

The two adults kissed again and everyone in the room began to applaud, pleased by the event.

Derek charged at one of the hunters, easily throwing him away and doing the same to the other attacker. Meanwhile, Luna ran to Scott, broke off the arrow that tied him to the tree, and freed him. Scott groaned in pain, but he scrambled to his feet and followed them as quickly as he could.

They ran until they were out of sight. Scott sat down on a tree and was transformed back into his human form. Breathing heavily, he asked, "Who were they?" Derek glanced back to make sure no one was following them. Then he turned to the older twin. "Hunters. The kind that hve been hunting us for centuries" Derek explained.

"Us? You mean you! You did this to me!" Scott exploded, leaning against the tree angrily.
"Is it really so bad, Scott?" Derek replied calmly. "That you can see better? Hear more clearly? Move faster than any human could ever hope?"

"You've been given something that most people would kill for. The Bite is a gift" Derek continued.

"I don't want it, and Zoe, wherever she is now, certainly doesn't want it either" Scott replied, thinking worriedly about his sister.

"You will. And you're gonna need me if you want to learn how to control it. So you and me, Scott? We're brothers now" Derek finished his explanation.
Luna laughed briefly and the boys looked at her confused. "Ok, sorry. But seriously, Derek? Brothers? You couldn't think of anything better" the witch teased. "As for Zoe, I'll see if I can help her in any way" she added.

Luna noticed Scott's questioning look and guessed what he wanted to know. "I'll explain it to you when Zoe and Stiles are there" she answered his unspoken question.

"So, you go home and rest" Luna ordered, and Scott nodded in agreement before heading off.

Luna then turned to Derek. He looked around briefly and noticed the witch looking at him. "What?" he asked her when he caught her eye.

"Nothing. I'm just waiting for you to take me home" she said with a sweet smile.

"And who said I was taking you home?" Derek asked with a slightly challenging tone.

"Well, I remember you promising Allison and me that you would take us home" Luna replied quickly.

Derek sighed and finally gave in. "All right, get in the car."

They both got into the black Camaro. "When can I actually drive?" asked Luna with a mischievous smile.

"Yeah, I've been meaning to ask that since I saw your hot car. But then I remember I've already driven your car" Luna said to Derek with a mischievous grin.

"Well, like you said, it's my hot car, so you'll never drive it. And I remember you driving it without my permission" Derek replied, to which Luna just shrugged.

"Let's think about it. Not at all" Derek replied straight out of the box. Luna just rolled her eyes. "Why not? I mean, this hot Camaro really needs to be driven by me. Because look, the Camaro is hot and I'm hot" she explained to him with a playful grin why she should drive his car. Derek gave her a confused look, as if he couldn't believe what she had just said.

"What?" she asked innocently. "So, I'm begging you to admit it - I'm really hot" Luna said, grinning.

"I'm not saying you're not hot. But I heard that you think someone else is hot too" he replied with a slight grin.

Luna looked at him in shock. "That's not fair. You only noticed because of your werewolf hearing" she complained, her cheeks blushing slightly because he found her hot.

Derek smiled slightly and just shrugged his shoulders. The rest of the journey was quiet, but not unpleasant.

"So you think I'm hot?" Luna asked, grinning. Derek just rolled his eyes, but a slight smile graced his lips, which was noticed by everyone.

Talia smiled as she watched her son fall in love and find someone who would love him as much as he deserved.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━
W

hen they got to Luna's house, Derek got out and opened the door for her. "Wow, I'm impressed" she smiled at him. He just rolled his eyes, closed the door behind her and couldn't help but smile a little.

"I have to admit, I'm impressed too, brother. Since when did you have such great manners?" Laura asked her brother, visibly shocked.

"Laura, I raised him well. Of course he has manners" Talia said proudly, smiling at her son. Derek returned the smile, feeling the warmth of recognition.

"I have to make a good impression" Derek explained with a wink. "Of course" Luna replied sarcastically and giggled.

"So, how did you know I was a werewolf?" he asked curiously.

"I saw it. I can see the future" she replied.

"So you're a seer?" he asked, now even more curious.

"Let's just say I'm connected, or rather related, to death" she explained further, noticing his confused look. "That means that every night I get visions that Death gives me about the future. To you they would be dreams, but I call them visions."

"Ok" he finally answered, visibly impressed but also thoughtful.

Just like at the party, they looked intensely into each other's eyes. They both got closer and probably would have kissed if a bark hadn't suddenly torn them apart. Derek and Luna looked down and saw a black shaggy dog ​​that continued to bark at them. Luna wanted to turn to Derek to say something, but he interrupted her, saying, "Let me do it."

"Sirius! Are you serious?!" Marie shouted at her husband.

"Sorry, kids" Sirius apologized to them.

Derek knelt down to the dog's level and was about to let his wolf eyes light up when Luna suddenly jumped in and covered his eyes with her hands. "No!" she cried, covering his eyes. The dog immediately stopped barking and looked at his daughter in confusion.

"Derek, stand up with your eyes closed. Please, just do what I say and trust me. Even if it's hard for you" she begged him urgently. He nodded hesitantly and followed her instructions.

Luna removed her hands from his eyes. Derek did as she said, turning to her and opening his eyes. "What?" he asked, confused by her action.

"I'm sorry, but the dog is family. His name is Padfoot, and if you show him that you are a werewolf, my father will know too and he will kill you" she whispered so quietly that only Derek could hear it. Derek nodded in understanding.

"Yeah, I probably would have done that" Sirius said with a shrug, whereupon all the werewolves looked at him indignantly. "Hey, I've had very bad experiences with werewolves, okay?" he justified himself.

"Thanks for the warning" Derek thanked, and Luna smiled at him. Their eyes met again, but another bark snapped them out of their torpor. They both looked down at Padfoot. Luna sighed and said, "I guess that's the signal for me to go in."

"I see" Derek replied, nodding. Luna noticed that she was still wearing his jacket and went to give it back to him. "Keep it" Derek stopped her. She smiled at him and said with a grin, "Good, thank you. I wouldn't have given it away anyway."

"Are you giving away your holy relic?" Laura asked her brother teasingly.

"That's not true. My holy relic is my car. We don't want to exaggerate" Derek explained, but inside he thought: She could have everything as far as I'm concerned.

"Don't worry, I'll get him to let me use his car" Luna said with a wink, which made Laura laugh.

Luna was about to make her way to the door, but then she turned around, walked up to Derek and kissed him on the cheek. "What was that for?" he asked, smiling slightly. Luna smiled back, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'd say 'just because', but actually it's a thank you for bringing me home."

"Well, not the kiss we were all expecting, but this is just the beginning" Zoe said with a shrug and a small grin.

He nodded with a smile and Luna went into the house with Padfoot. She looked back again to watch Derek drive away. As she closed the door she leaned against it, smiling.

"Ok, who was that?" asked her father, who had now changed back.

"A young man" she answered, still smiling, shrugging her shoulders as if it were obvious.

"Oh, yeah, a very hot young man" her mother chimed in, earning a stern look from Sirius.

"Next to your father, of course. That goes without saying" she quickly corrected herself and gave her husband a kiss.

"Wow, like daughter, like mother, or what?" Stiles asked the group because both women had said that Derek was hot. Both women exchanged a look, then looked at Stiles and answered in unison, "Yes."

"Ok, whatever. I'm going upstairs. Goodnight" Luna said goodbye to her parents and headed to bed. With her last thoughts about Derek Hale, she finally fell asleep.

"With the last thoughts of me, yeah?" Derek asked, grinning.

"Can you do anything other than grin?" replied the young Black and looked him directly in the eyes.

"Does anyone else notice the sexual tension between these two, or is it just me?" Allison asked, to which the others nodded in agreement.
