“I know, it’s bad for my health. I know Lily told you that you need to bee attentive to my sleep hours, but I swear I do what I can.” Lily had appeared one night, completely out of nowhere. Hunter was asleep, while I worked. The little witch spilled a glass of water on him to wake him up and tell her that he had to stop me. From that day, I always had nightmares. Raw nightmares. Most were about losing Hunter in different ways. In some when I appeared it was too late, but in others … in others it was me who ended up killing him. Fear would not let me sleep, so I concentrated on looking for solutions. I was afraid of losing Hunter and nobody could understand it. His birthday would be in three days and no matter how much I wanted to be with him just being a couple of teenagers, I could not afford it. Not with a war on the way. I spent the nights sailing, thinking, analysing, and trying to get a solution. “Lily tries to take care of you.” “They disappear without saying goodbye,” I

“Bunny babe. Bunny girl,” crooned Hunter. “Who is the prettiest girl?” In the last few days, he became childish and overly affectionate. I knew he was doing it for me, to try to ease my concern. I also knew that he was organising wolves and vampires for the time of the battle, taking seriously the role it played. Hunter had a complicated personality and might seem like an idiot, but he was still the future Alpha of the pack. He was still the only person able to create a strategy to win the war. Appearances could be deceiving. I was human enough to achieve and do anything important in the pack. And I had now become the moon to him, besides being possibly one of the few people able to confront the most dangerous being in history. Sorcerers of the community could not face Allen Samuel directly. Controlling the mind of a sorcerer is one of the greatest weaknesses of it. Any moderately powerful sorcerer could learn this. Even I was a victim of it. My wolf, on the other hand, said no.

It’s fantastic. We can now be called pervert teenagers. Although, after all, it is not as if we were too old. There were still a few months until my eighteenth birthday, so I was still considered a teenager. But I was older than them! “Do not worry so much,” Liam said. “Come on, Hunter.” Hunter took me from the waist up, leaving a gentle kiss on my lips. It was a promise that no matter what happened, we would both be fine. His way of making sure I do not worry so much. “We’ll see you soon, bunny.” “See you soon.” “Oh!” Lily suddenly exclaimed. “Happy Birthday, Alpha!” “Thank you, peculiar witch.” I felt the hand of the time traveller crawling up the stairs. She was laughing with mischief, opening the door of the room where I stayed as if I already knew exactly what she was. “Your dress is gorgeous. I stole it from a princess.” “What?” “Kidding. If that were the case, the dress would not have your measurements.” “And when did I give you my measurements?” I perked an eyebrow

She seemed to want to run away, which was even more suspicious. “I am a guardian of the border.” Her voice was shaking. My magic recognized her before I felt any discomfort in my neck. Fury soon took hold of me. How dare she come here? “Who gave you the right to come here? I know all the members of my pack. Therefore, you are not part of it. Someone who left her position, her mate, and their families is not welcome here.” The woman who gave life to Hunter and then abandoned him. She was the person who threatened the pack because of her selfishness. She not only gave up her title as “moon” but she also resigned herself as a wife and mother. Hunter’s mother gave me a surprised look, as if she did not expect me to recognize her. “Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?” She recovered after a while, leaving behind the façade of a fearful woman. I knew it. I was aware of who I treated despite the fact that I had never seen her before. Besides, I could see that she’s not on

Not as weak as a human, but not as strong as a wolf. I watched the mark on my neck in the mirror. It was a bit grotesque and was swollen, but then it would become a nice unique tattoo. It was something magical and special that all the wolves shared, a sign of love and respect towards our mate. I would have to wait a few days to see ours, but I would be patient. For the time being, it was enough to cover it with a gauze and take care of it as a wound. Being a magical tattoo, my powers could not heal it. I showered carefully, feeling my inadequate body. People were right, the first time ached, although Hunter was careful enough so it was not something traumatic. It was a bearable pain that for next time it would decrease. My mark burned with the contact of the water on it, so I was being cautious. Maybe I was delaying more than usual, but I entertained myself by thinking about everything that happened. I managed to dissolve Hunter’s mother. I did not know if I did well or badly wh
