Shay's P. O. V.

I listened to Thomas's heartbeat as his bare chest rose and fell. He was so relaxed and peaceful. Yesterday he was a mess, a hot mess. I kissed his forehead and got up. It's surprising that I can wake up at 8 am without turning into the abominable snowman.

I got ready, changed into one of Thomas's shirts and my sweatpants. I pulled my hair up into a messy bun before heading down to make breakfast. Today, I'm going to meet his family, and I can feel . To be specific, it's a type of soup that makes you more nervous as time passes. I tend to be quiet when I'm nervous, they'd probably think I'm anti-social.

Before I set foot into the kitchen, I heard laughing and... whimpering? I walked in to see a group of people, bullying a girl. All their face turned pale when they saw me.

"Luna," they greeted. I don't know why, but I hate being called Luna because Luna is a name and I have seen women who are named Luna greeting a Luna.  Just imagine a Luna named Luna. It's like calling her by her name but it's actually calling her by her title. But now at this moment, I'm going to embrace the title and use my power.

"What were you doing?" I asked sternly.

"N-nothing, Luna..." a tall buff boy with black hair said.

"This is not nothing. It's a crime to hurt your own pack member. Take this as a warning, the next time I catch you, let's just say, your life will be hell for a week." I said. To be honest, I'm just saying that to scare them because I've never punished anyone because of their crimes before. Normally, I leave all the punishing to my brother. Also the punishments I'll give is probably like cleaning the toilets or running laps. To summarize the whole thing, I'm useless at punishing people. Enough said.

The group of people scrambled away. I walked to the girl's side. There was blood dripping from her mouth, scars on her beautiful face, and I can tell that there are probably bruises on her stomach. Tears were streaming down her dull grey eyes.

"What did they do to you?" I asked softly.

"J-just a few kicks, Luna..." she said.

"Where?"

She pointed at her stomach.

"Do you mind if I check your wounds?" I asked. She nodded and lifted up her shirt. I gasped.

"How could people do this to this poor girl?" My wolf growled.

"You need to see the pack doctor..." I said.

"No. I'm alright. I got used to the beatings already..."

"I'm not letting you go that easy, kiddo. You're hurt and you need to see the pack doctor." I commanded.

"But..."

"No buts. After breakfast, straight to the doctor."

"Yes, Luna."

"Call me Shay, kiddo."

"Oh okay... Lu- er... Shay."

"What's your name kid?"

"Lucy..."

"So... Lucy, what do you want for breakfast?" I asked. I want pancakes.

"Pancakes. Umm... you don't have to cook. I mean I can cook for you, if you want. I don't want to trou--"

"Chill, Lucy. I'm making breakfast. Relax and make yourself a cup of coffee." I said.

"Oh okay..."

While I was cooking, both of us were awfully quiet. I served the pancakes. Lucy ate like a rocket.

"Umm... Shay?"

"Yes, Lucy..."

"Why are you so kind to me?"

"Because you're like me, you're different and that makes you special. You're a white wolf, aren't you?"

"Y- How did you know?"

"In most stories, white wolves are treated differently, but it's just an old wives tale. Do I believe the stories? Yes but not all white wolves have the same fate. White wolves are indeed beautiful. I'll give you some advice, kiddo. This is something my granny used to tell me, No matter what color wolf you are, you're still a werewolf. Don't let people judge you because you're different."

Lucy smiled and she hugged me, "Thanks for the advice, Shay!"

"No problem, Lucy."

She gave me another smile before walking away. I smiled and continued cooking pancakes. Once I was done,  I set them on two plates. One for me, one for Thomas. I put the dirty pan, bowls, and spatula in the sink and washed them.

I jumped as I felt a pair of hands on my waist. 

"I thought you left..."

"Tommy, you know I won't..."

I kissed Thomas's nose. He kissed the mark he left on my neck months and months ago.

"Thomas, let's eat. Then we can go laze around in your room." I said.

"Ok."
