╰┈˚ · ° .  ALESSANDRO DI LUNA.  An insufferable prick that had been a thorn in my side since I was little. The Di Luna pack had always had a strong allegiance with the Hale pack. Our families had not just been allies but close friends too. It wasn't unusual for the Di Luna family to travel from Italy to Beacon Hills every once in a while. Sometimes for weeks like during summer or just for a couple days during the year. Pack meetings or friends reunion. The only problem? Their hatred for Warren witches. My mother was the kind of person who was easy to love. She was kind, full of love for everyone and the sweetest person that I have ever met, it wasn't hard for them to see past her last name and ancestors. Their family probably met once my grandmother, she always wanted to stay away from werewolves, even with the Hales she barely spent time with, but that never stopped her from forming a connection with my siblings and I.

Oliver and Jordan, my big brothers, had not inherited the witch gene from my mother as they both were males, so not earning any resentment from them. Me, on the other hand, my witch side was prominent as the werewolf one, and of course, the Hale's gene of bluntness, strong character and almost always appearing as brooding, didn't help with the younger Di Luna wolf to even tolerate me. When his family would come, we would spend all the time arguing and fighting and glaring at each other whenever we were in the same room. Something that after years of trying to get us to be friends our family got so tired of it that they didn't even interfere anymore, they would just continue to do their things.

It's been years since I saw him, or the rest of his family. Through the years It came to my attention the murder of Sarah Di Luna, Alec's mother, three years ago. Hunted and killed by the Morelli, the Italian hunter family. His brother, Francesco, became the Alpha, or more so the head of their pack since shadow wolves don't have alphas, after their father left them for a life as a lone wolf.

"What the fuck is he doing here?" I asked my cousin snapping my attention from Alec to him

"Don't be like that, Ellie. I know you missed me" His cocky smirk in full display now

"It's Elizabeth for you, asshole" I seethed at him only for him to widen his smirk. I would lie if I said that the bastard wasn't good looking now, but that was just another reason for me to dislike him. "What is he doing here, Der?" I asked, trying to rein in my annoyance and anger at the boy.

My cousin rolled his eyes, probably already done with the both of us "I asked him to come here to help me"

"You don't need help. I'm here"

Another snort came from Alec "Than he definitely need my help"

I completely ignored the asshole focusing my attention on Derek. "No, I don't want your help, Lizzie. This is my business, I will take care of it." He simply said, turning around and walking away

I followed after him, seething in anger. I grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks "Your business? What the fuck Derek? The Alpha killed Laura, that made it my business. He bit a teenager without his knowledge. A teeager who is freaking out by the way."

"Go back to your life, Elizabeth." He glared at me, earning one from me. His eyes turned icy blue making mine go gold. A challenge.

"Don't do it Derek, we both know who will win" I growled my words through clenched teeth. I didn't want to use my magic on him.

His eyes went back to the normal blue-green color "I don't want you involved in this" His voice was cold but I sensed the unspoken words behind them. 'I can't lose you too.' I was the only family that he had left.

My gaze softened "I can't stay out of it, you know that." With a sigh, he slowly nodded his head in defeat.

"Wow, you Hales always had the flair for dramatics" Alec commented from the side with a mocking grin.

My softened look hardened again "Go slither back into the shadows, Alec"

His eyes glared into me. He stepped forward until we were almost chest to chest. The amusement that was there just second earlier bleeding away into a seething expression.

"Here we go" I heard Derek mumble under his breath. Not that I gave too much though

"Why? Need to go and curse another bloodline, witch." The last word said with coats of hatred and disgust "You can do it with me here. I can even gave you a sample of my blood, maybe you can learn something from it"

"I can easily do it without it, don't worry. I don't need your blood to curse someone, demon." I snapped back looking up at him.

Of course, Alec wasn't a demon, but a werewolf. He was just a cursed one. Like all the Di Luna wolves for generations. The cause of that? The wrath of a Warren witch. Antonio Di Luna more than a hundred years ago killed Anastasia, a Warren witch. Her sister, overwhelmed by anger, pain and grief cursed the werewolf and all his bloodline. Death was too easy. She cut their ties with the moon. An imaginable pain to endure and to live without it for a werewolf. The moon is from what wereshifters were created from. All of them are affected by it. For werewolves, the rush of a full moon is an experience that could never be compared to any other. Being cut from it is like the loss of a limb, of a part of yourself. Sometimes referred even to losing a part of your soul. The curse made Antonio rely on the shadows for his shifterside, creating a new species of wolves. Shadow wolves. All his descendants now carry the curse in their blood, them too affected by it. Even if they never felt the ties with the moon, a part of them feels the loss.

"Alright that's it, you two. Stop it" Derek interrupted, pushing his arms between us making us move away from each other

I rolled my eyes and walked back into the sun room, with a snap of my fingers, I extinguished the lit candles in the room. Fortunately, Derek and Alec were still in the living room. I reached the glass door that divided the two rooms and sent a wink at the two as I closed it behind me. My claws extended, I used the one on my pointy finger to make a small cut on my thumb. A bead of blood forming on the pad.

"Voco super naturam, sigillum hoc locus, ut aperuit iustus quia me, post murum abscondere." As I muttered the spell a breeze started to blow as nature came to my aid. As the bead of blood touched the handle of the door, the room sealed itself. A wall made of magic was created camouflaging the door with the rest of the room. Only myself and who I decided will be able to enter now. I could feel their eyes on me as soon as I finished the spell and the breeze ceased.

Alec was clenching his jaw, glaring at me. He always hated when I did magic infront of him, but then and like now, I could see the small amount of curiosity and even awe that flashed through his eyes before anger overwhelmed them. It still made me smirk though, and he knew, he knew why I was doing it. A snarl curled up lips but I didn't dare to look at him as I started to walk away.

"You won't be able to enter now, don't even bother" I said turning briefly towards them as I reached the front door "Goodbye, cousin." I smiled at Derek "Shadow boy" I winked at Alec and strode away but not before hearing him speak again

"Fucking witch." The curse that fell from his lips in a growl sent me in a fit of laughs that transformed into a full grin as I rode my car back home.

╰┈˚ · ° .  The ring of the doorbell caused a groan to fall from my lips. I was currently sitting on the bay window seat drawing, Hex curled around my neck, probably sleeping. Grams wasn't at home so I had to get up. I glanced at the now empty cup of tea— At least I will refill that.

I stood up, placing Hex on my pillow

"I was sleeping" She hissed her forked tongue at me "Bitch" She murmured while curling her body around herself going back to sleep "Bring me food" was the last thing that I heard.

I scoffed at my familiar, bringing with me the ceramic mug and made my way down stairs.

The doorbell rang again followed by a voice "Elizabeth Talia Hale open the door, you little bitch!" The strawberry blonde's voice was soon followed by another one, much in a lower voice that I had caught thanks to my super hearing

"Lydia!" Allison whispered-yelled. With a huff she added "Maybe I shouldn't be here"

"Nonsense. We are best friends, we take care of each other" Lydia answered and I know that she was rolling her pretty green eyes

My lips curled into a smile immediately and before the girl could ring my doorbell once again, I opened the door after placing the empty mug on the table at the entrance.

"Lydia Lorreine Martin, where are your manners young lady?" I joked "We both know that you are the bitch in this friendship. I'm the asshole"

"Impossible, you do both perfectly for the both of us" She replied "No move, let us in" I smirked at my best friend as she passed by me noticing un unsure Allison that still lingered in the doorway

"You can come in Als" I sent her a smile and closed the door once she was finally inside "Not that I don't want you two here but, why did you come?"

Allison moved her eyes to the ground and Lydia looked down at me from her position on the stairs. She climbed down and once she was in front of me she said "We heard the name of the girl that they found in the woods." I gasped at her words and switched my gaze to the wall but her delicate hand grabbed my chin making me look back at her "Why didn't you say anything, Ellie?" I tried to say something, anything, but nothing came out. "It's okay, we are here now. Come on you two, let's go"

She was the first to go upstairs. I turned towards Allison and grams words sounded in my mind 'What do we know, maybe she will be different, don't give up on her just yet.'

"I'm sorry, if you are not comfortable wit-" Allison started but I was quickly to cut her off

"No, stay" I took a breath to calm my racing heart. Don't give up on her just yet. "I'm sorry that I haven't been a good friend recently. I swear I'm not always like that" I walked to the living room and sat on the couch signaling her to do the same. I couldn't tell her that her family killed mine and that was because I tried to stay away from her, so I chose the second thing that made me do it. "Six years ago there was a fire. It was 7:15 in the evening when the fire started, it quickly spreaded. There were thirteen people in the house. Eleven of those died, only two survived" I explained. My breath caught in my throat as tears formed in my eyes "My mother, my father, my older brothers. My aunts and uncles. My cousins.They all died" I whispered. I felt Allison's hand grabbing mine, giving me confort without any words "I was there, my uncle Peter and I managed to escape but not unscathed. I have burn scars on my left arm and on my right side but uncle Peter had been in a coma for the last six years. His body is covered for 75% in third-degree burns. My cousin Laura was out with her friends. Derek was still at school. The coach made the team stay later to train for some big game that they had. You know, basketball was the thing back then" I said trying to lighten up a bit the mood "Laura took the guardianship of Derek who was still a minor at the time and they both moved to New York. I stayed here with my grams" then looked at her as I explained. "I went to go to see Derek since I've heard that he had come back, that is when I found out about Laura. Other than the fact that she was gone, her death brought up a lot of memories. Lydia knows that when that happens I try to isolate myself. She tries her best but I can be stubborn as hell" We both chuckled "I want us to be friends Allison, just bear with me when eventually something like this happens again. And of course, between me and Lydia the bitchiness level will be totally high"

"My family moved a lot so I never had the opportunity to have real friends before. You and Lydia are the first that even tried to befriend me. I will not run, I swear." Her smile widened as she added "Bitchiness and all"

I laughed at her and turned my head back to the entrance where I knew that Lydia was Eavesdropping. "Good to know that Allicat, there will be a lot of that and of course, brooding and scowls from Miss Flora over there. Now let's go." She grabbed both of our arms and dragged us both up the stairs to my room. "We can watch The Notebook and stuff our faces with ice cream"

"Oh please no, not The Notebook again Lyds. We watched that at least fifty times already" I groaned throwing myself on my mind

"Hush, we will watch it for the fifty-first time"

A screech from Allison made us both look at her "Oh my god is that a snake?!" At that Lydia and I couldn't help the loud laugh

"Don't worry, her name is Hex. She is Lizzie's snake pet. Well a weird snake but still." Lydia said tilting her head looking at my familiar that slept on my bed. Well, weird snake because she is an hybrid with a dragon, but alas she doesn't know that, so weird snake is it

"You have a pet snake" She asked with wide eyes

"Yup" I said, lifting Hex from the pillow allowing her to slither over my arm. "I will take her to her terrarium, I will be back soon" Of course I had no terrarium, I just made her slither back into her domus, her curses at me for waking up a second time echoing in my mind.

"Try not to talk bad about Hex, she can understand more than most males. And she is ruthless when angry, trust me." I couldn't help but laugh at Lydia's comments. How true that was.

╰┈˚ · ° .  Monday morning came too quickly for my liking, and as always equipped with an energy drink the usual amount of broodiness, I dared to step inside the school only to overhear the conversation between Scott and Stiles.

"Yeah, I know, but chasing her, dragging her to the back of the bus,

it felt so real." The newly turned wolf said to his friend

"Who did you drag to the back of the bus, Scotty?" I interrupted their conversation. Stiles yelped in fright almost tripping over his feet

"Elizabeth" The said boy spoke with an over exaggerated happy tone "How- how are you doing? What a coincidence seeing you here!"

"We are at school Stiles. On a weekday" I deadpanned

"Right, right. Scott here had a dream of dragging Allison in the back of the bus and killing her"

"You what?" I asked, raising an eyebrow to the beta who was currently glaring at his best friend

"I panicked, I'm sorry" Stiles said to his friend sheepishly, earning a tired sigh from him.

"How real?" I questioned as the three of us started walking again

"Like it actually happened" The boy said, opening the door that led outside.

But all stopped in our tracks at the sight in front of us. The school bus was covered in splashes of blood, the back door almost completely torn, hanging there barely. Four claw marks could've been distinctly seen on it.

"I think it did"

Saying that Scott was freaking out was an understatement. Stiles followed after him inside but I stayed there. I turned on my senses, already heightened from my werewolf side but I enchanted them with my magic, helping me with the distance and the presence of the other people present at the scene. The first thing that I smelled was blood, there was still the lingering scent of Scott but most importantly, his blood. The second scent, the one from whom the majority of the blood came was definitely not Allison. I sighed in relief at that. The third one, I knew now that it belonged to the Alpha. I let out a breath before walking inside the school only to collide with someone.

"Hello, little witch" Alec "You missed me that much already? No need to throw yourself at me for that though. " The amusement in his voice sent fit of rage through my body

My lips curled into a snarl "What the fuck are you doing here?"

Alec rolled his eyes, grinning like the cheshire cat "We already went through this conversation, Ellie. I'm here to help Derek with the Alpha problem, but I still have to go to school, you know."

"Elizabeth" I said calmly, barely concealing my anger "My name is Elizabeth to you, asshole"

"Whatever you say, Ellie." He said in a condescending tone. His ring cladded fingers grabbed my chin, tilting it upwards. His face came closer to mine, our noses almost touching. "You know, I think making you angry just became my favorite pastime, little witch."

My hand raised, capturing his wrist. My blood boiled as I called upon my magic, sending sharp waves of pain directly to his head. Strong enough to hurt but not enough for him to writhe in pain, screaming in agony. His features scrunched up as he started to feel the effect of the spell. "Touch me again and I will make sure that you will die of a long agonizing death.This spell will be nothing in comparison" As soon as finished, I made the spell fade away.

The pain it seemed was already forgotten as he smirked cockly "Oh yeah, I definitely love making you angry" My nostril flared at him and I didn't think twice about pivoting on my heels and storming off, far away from as possible. The day had just started and I already wanted to bash my head into a wall. Preferably after killing Alec with the most painful spell that I've the knowledge of.

(Please read this)

Hello everyone!

OMG you guys don't even know how much fun I had while writing these two. Literally. Since I already finished writing season 1, I can tell you that their interactions are the thing that I love to write the most. I honestly love this two fuckers.

I took some inspiration from the book Gothikana. I will let you know more in the later chapters what I took inspo for, but for those who actually read the book, you probably already understood. (BTW I loved that book)

I might just say this here: Their relationship is definitely not very healthy. What can I say, I love when the love interest is madly obsessed with her.

Then I would like to know if you want smut. I know that they are under 18 but let's be honest, the show is full of sex. Mostly Lydia but still. And they are the same age and everything is consensual. But just let me know if you would prefer this book to have smut and be on the little spicer side.

And second, do you guys want the translation of the spells? 

Anyways, thank you for reading this chapter, I'll see you on tuesday!
