Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It was April, the sun was yellow like a dandelion in bloom. Six-year-old Luna stayed with her family in a house near the forest for a few days. It was a great time for vacation and her family enjoyed being with nature all the time.
She reached for her doll and stepped out with great enthusiasm. As she examined the place, the beauty of the trees attracted her. The forest, even on a sunny day, is like a place of twilight shadows shape-shifting and elusive. She is loving the music created by the trees and the sweet rhymes from the birds chirping.
As the young Luna enjoyed the moment in the forest, she heard a painful howl. Being young and curious, she stepped deeper into the woods in search of the unfamiliar sound until she saw something. She was stunned to see a grey wolf in deep pain. The grey wolf was injured. His body was almost drenched in his blood.
Luna knelt in front of the grey wolf as she wore her worried look. "Don't worry Mr. Dog, I will help you," as she tried to reach for the leaves in the bushes thinking those leaves could help heal the wound. She gave her best to pick even the flowers until her hands were pricked by thorns. She almost cried as blood flowed from her hand. Her knees trembled in fear. She remembered the dying wolf and went back to place the leaves and flowers on the wolf's wounds. Her hands were shaking as her right hand was soaked in blood. The prick caused by the thorns was deep. The young girl was crying while helping the wolf. Without even noticing, her blood drops on the wolf's wounds. The wolf suddenly felt a different kind of sensation as his wounds started to heal. The wolf went back to his feet as he tried to stay away from the girl. The wolf's expression was unreadable as it began to run and disappeared into the woods.
Luna was terrified as she looked down at her hand. As she started to scream like a banshee, her parents arrived to calm her down. Her parents have been looking for her and are grateful to find her. Her father hugged her tight as her mom wiped the blood on her hand. Peter and Anne love their daughter so much. They can’t stand to see her hurting so much.
Her father whispered, "Your blood is precious Luna, try not to get hurt next time."
"I came to help the dying dog, it was big and grey," she sobbed.
Her mother touches her cheeks, "Luna, remember not to give your blood to anyone, even a single drop of it. Never let anyone taste your blood. Understood?"
"Yes mom," she answered.
"Luna, remember, just a single mistake, you could launch a thousand werewolves to fight in the war," her dad's voice was firm.
Luna being innocent raised her head as she stared at his father with confusion.

LUNA POV I was looking at myself in the mirror wearing a gorgeous white gown. It was like a full-skirted ball gown typically featuring embellishments, sparkles, and beading. I felt pure happiness within me as I looked at my tousled hair pinned with flowers. My makeup was just soft and subtle. It was just enough. Just enough to enhance my natural beauty. I reached for my "Lily of the Valley bouquets." I've never thought this day would come. All I could feel was pure happiness. I glanced at myself once more in the mirror before leaving the room. As I went down the stair, my hands were sweating. I'm a little bit nervous now. I wished my parents were here to witness this important day in my life. How I wish I could hug and kiss them again. As I opened the main door to step outside, the breezy air touched my skin. I felt a creepy feeling as I looked around. In the garden, empty chairs welcomed me. "Where are the people?" I asked myself. My feet lead me to the altar where the groom should

I looked around, and well, everything was just fine. Maybe it was just a piece of imagination.I arrived at the public library. There were just one or two people inside. The "Keep quiet" sign welcomes me. I turned around to see Mrs. Fox waving at me. She is so nice and friendly. She is the librarian and she always welcomes me with a smile.

It was surrounded by dead trees and plants.The windows are dark.I tried to open the door and I hate its creaking sound.On the inside, the things are filled with dust and cobwebs."Hello, Elli?" my voice echoed. I think there was no one here.I heard a sound, but to my surprise, it was just a rat.My blood started to run cold as I tried to look around the house. I am alone.I heard noises outside.

Tanned to perfection, his almost black eyes look at me with no mercy. His chiseled jawline looks like it could cut through anything, and it looks like the gods sculpted his face."Glad that you are awake, Miss" his voice is deep."Yes," I can feel my face blushing.He stepped closer, allowing me to scan his broad chest and I can tell beneath his clothing that he has a much toned muscular body."Who are you? How did I get here?" I asked him."My name is Hector. I found you in the middle of the woods unconscious." his face is serious. I wonder if he can smile sometimes. His name is Hector. I remember a while ago how a woman moans for his name.Then I heard a woman's voice from his back."Oh, your little visitor is awake, glad to see that you are fine. Maybe we can continue now Hector w

I must face the reality that this will be the day that I will surrender my virginity to this man in front of me.I felt the sweat on my forehead. This might not be right, but I can feel the excitement that builds within me. Butterflies start to dominate my stomach.

I pulled my body to get up when the door burst open and Sam came in. He was panting and full of sweat. "Mom, please come with me. It's about Ara and Aya," Sam told me. "What about them?"

HECTOR POV The sun shone brilliantly in the clear, blue sky today. Four months after that war, this was the first time I appreciated the beauty of the sky. They said that if you missed someone you love who has passed away, you just need to look up in the sky. They were for sure watching us from heaven. I took a deep breath. Death was inevitable.

I want her to be proud of me. She was the first woman to believe in my capabilities. I will forever treasure and love her. "Mom, wherever you are, I hope you are happy now," I muttered.

I didn't expect to see him."Mr. King, ahm... you're here," I told him."Yes, Luna. And you need to come with me," there was an urgency in his voice."Is there something wrong?" I can see how worried he is. But I felt an unfamiliar feeling. I think my instinct was trying to tell me something."Hector is in danger. He needs your blood. He was fighting Lucas and got wounded by a silver. He needs you, Luna. Come with me," he pulled me.I didn't protest, I just run with him.

It still hurts me to see Hector with his wife. I saw how Jasmine approached Hector after his announcement.
