Chapter 10

LUNA POV

As I took a deep breath, I watched how to sun came down the horizon. It was blazing with fabulous colors but producing no warmth. It was the last gasp of beauty before night.

I remembered when I was a child, Dad brought us to a seashore to witness the sunset. Tristan and I would love to play on the sand while watching the sun turns orange sometimes crimson red. I miss Dad and Tristan so much. At that time I just wanted to stop the time and capture those beautiful moments. Maybe I don't know the meaning of enjoyment but I think for me seeing this sunset is the real sense of enjoyment.

Right now, I want to go home. I want to see our house and Peebee my cat. I want to call Mr. Miller to ask if he found Elli. But how can I possibly do that? I don't know where I am. I don't even know how to escape from here. I remember how furious the werewolves who attacked us last time were. I am just a human with no powers and strength to fight them or even protect myself.

I cannot trust Hector or any of his friends. Hector is a womanizer. He is trying to make me fall for him and then beds me. Well, I'm not like his girls. I will never be one of them. Over my dead body.

Enjoying the beauty of the sky from this balcony, my attention was caught by a girl who emerged from the trees.

I think she is seven or eight years old and my, she is so cute. She raises his head to look at me. I cannot say her expression. She waved her hands to tell me to come down. I never knew any neighbors here. But maybe this little girl can help me learn about this place.

I need to go downstairs quietly. Matilda is not around and I haven't seen Stefan or Francis. Hector was still not home after he and his woman left with his car.

Maybe this is the right time to make a move. I don't fucking care even Hector warned me million times not to go anywhere.

As I came near the girl, I saw her smile.

"I knew you would come," she told me.

"Who are you? Do you live near here?" I asked her.

"My name is Flor. Come with me. I need to show you something," as she reached for my hands and brought me deeper into the woods.

Her hands are so soft. Her hair is long and her eyes are blue.

"Flor, where are your parents? They might be worried about you," I asked the little girl.

"It is alright, Luna, I am an orphan now," I was stunned by her words. We have the same situation in life. But wait, she knows my name.

"Ahm, wait. How did you know my name?" I asked with curiosity.

"They told me," she replied.

"They told you? Who are they?" I asked her again.

"You will meet them soon," she says calmly.

We stopped in the middle of the woods and my feet started to get tired after walking for a few minutes.

"Why are we here, Flor?" I asked in confusion when suddenly I heard noises and it is coming near. I turned around and scanned the place.

"It's alright Luna, they are coming for you," as she gives me a devilish smile and runs away.

I was so shocked at her action.

I witnessed how she disappeared into the woods. As I turned around, I saw werewolves coming in my direction.

Shit, this is not good.

My heart pounded in fear as I started to run and find Hector's house. I tried to look around the forest, and Oh, my god! I forgot the trail.

"Luna, you are the queen of all idiots," I told myself.

I heard the werewolves running and I continued running too.

I am so stupid for trusting that beautiful girl.

I ran as fast as I could even though I'm running out of air. I stepped onto a large wood and since I am the queen of all idiots, I stumble down.

I looked down at my knee, fuck I got a wound again.

I thought I would die in Hector's hands but I think my life would end here today.

I tried to scream as four or six werewolves aimed for me. This is it, I will die here.

Help! Help! If only Hector is here.

 Hector, where are you? I am calling his name inside my mind.

I closed my eyes as I ready myself to die. In an instant, I heard a sound that caused me to open my eyes. I heard more growling and howling sounds as I saw Hector's wolf fighting against the other werewolves.

"Hector! He was here," my heart was racing with joy.

 I also saw Stefan's and Francis' wolves. They are very strong together. They fought the werewolves, lashing through the air and ripping the enemies.

Panic tangled inside me and terror-filled my mind. I breathed heavily while my eyes dashed across the forest. Blood splattered everywhere. Dreadful howls and cries jammed my ears and my mind went temporarily blank. I am not used to seeing blood. I hate the metallic smell of the blood. I want to faint.

After a few minutes, I saw warm blood around me. Dead wolves' heads rolled around me, separated from their bodies. I am so scared. This is worse than any nightmare.

I looked up to see Hector shifting. God, he was still so handsome even after the fight. His body was filled with red blood after killing the enemies. His masculine body was very captivating. Is this how good-looking a werewolf man could be? I tried to wipe the attraction I built for him inside my mind. He is looking straight at me. His gaze is like fire as he approached. His hands were balled into a fist and I could sense anger within him.

Oh, no. This is not good. Would he kill me this time?
