"Come on, we'll give you two a werewolf makeover" "okay!" Addison replies straight away "I don't know, a werewolf? you definitely have the wrong person" I say unconvinced, "come on Harper, even if we're not don't you think it'll be fun" "do you really think werewolves? I mean you've met our parents, right? It's impossible" "Harp, I might actually find out who I am, and I wanna do it with you by my side" "alright fine, I'll get a makeover but that's it, I'm gonna need more proof than our hair colour to believe this," I say before Wynter drags us off.
Addison and I were standing on a small podium surrounded by the wolves when all of a sudden Zed came running in. "Harper!" "Zed?" "don't make me take this off you do not want to see me zombie out," he says holding his Z-band, it slips out of his hand though and he starts going, full zombie. I stand with him while Addison gets the Z-band back and throws it to me, I quickly grab his hand and put it back on and he starts going back to normal. "Zed, it's okay, I want to be here," I tell him, still holding his hand. "What?" "I'm here for Addison, she wants to be here and I was obviously gonna go with her" "but she texted help?" Bree says gesturing to her phone "yeah with the chemistry homework, didn't you see the beaker emoji?" Addison asks her "I do now".
"They think we may be werewolves too," I say turning to Zed "what? how?" "I have no clue" "maybe a grandparent?" Addison says. As I look at Zed I remember the fight we had and by the look in his eyes I know he's thinking the same thing. I reach my arms out for a hug and he quickly complies holding me by the waist and resting his head in the crook of my neck, "I'm so sorry Harper, I didn't mean it" he says softly "It's okay, I know, me neither. I hated that fight, let's not do it again anytime soon" "we won't, I like you so much" he says holding on tighter, "I like you too Zed, so much" I say as we pull apart. My hands find his face and I fix his hair before he connects his lips with mine.
"For centuries this moonstone has been set aside for the great alpha," Willa says and she comes back with a small box. Once opened Addison and I were looking and a beautiful stone necklace, "a fully charged moonstone is priceless to us" "if you're truly one of us, you'll be transformed into a werewolf, part of our pack, forever" I make eye contact with Zed and he looks worried but doesn't say anything, I smile reassuring him and intertwine our hands. "I'm honoured you think I might be one of you, really. But I'm not sure I'm the one you're looking for, I'm sorry. Addison, it's all yours" I say to everyone. "Can I think about it?" she asks Willa "for a day" she replies and carefully hands Addison the box. "Once you've joined us you can lead us to the hidden moonstone" "but she doesn't know where it is".
Suddenly the ground starts shaking and Zed holds onto me protectively. We all ran outside to see that the explosion came from Seabrook's power. "They must be testing charges for the demolition tomorrow," I say. "Seabrook power is the birthplace of zombies," Eliza tells the werewolves and Zed explains exactly how it happened. "Nice story but it doesn't concern us," Willa says and my mind immediately clicks, "but it does concern you Willa" I start, and my sister, seeing where this is going, continues "Seabrook power was fueled by a mysterious energy source, that could be your moonstone right?".
"They found the moonstone, Willa, they're amazing," Wyatt says specifically looking at me and I feel Zed tense up behind me. "Well see you at school tomorrow," Willa says "right, tomorrow. Big day" Addison says before leaving and I grab Zed's hand as the rest of us follow behind.
As we all walked home, Zed and I walked a bit slower than everyone else so we could have some time to ourselves. "You do know you have nothing to worry about, right?" I asked him, "What do you mean?" "Wyatt" "oh, right" "Zed I'm not into him, I'm into you" "yeah but it's kinda obvious that he's into you Harper" "I really don't think he's the kind of guy to go after someone else's girlfriend" I hear him sigh beside me "Zed," I say grabbing his hands in mine and stopping us in the middle of the road. I have no idea why I'm doing this now, but I want him to know, I need him to know. I pull his hand towards my chest and rest my chin on his knuckles, "Harper? what is it?" he asks nervously. I kiss his knuckles, take a deep breath and slowly look up to make eye contact with him. "I love you" I breathe out and he just stands there. I don't know if it's because he's at a loss for words or if he's trying to think of a nice way to say he doesn't love me back. I look away blushing and embarrassed when he takes one hand out from mine and tucks a piece of hair behind my ear, I look back at him and he's smiling from ear to ear. "I love you too, more than anything in the world" he finally says and I can't help but smile. He pulls me to his chest holding me close and I close my eyes taking in the moment. When we pull apart his hand's cup my face and my hands are holding his collar, and he doesn't waste a second connecting his lips to mine.
The rest of the way home we were both ecstatic and couldn't stop smiling. I don't even know what we talked about but we talked the whole way. Once we got to my house he kissed me goodbye and I went to tell my sister everything.
