{Camila Cabello}

There was no pain. Nothing physical at least. Not for me.

I took her into my arms. Dinahs body was cold. Why did it always have to be her? Lauren had been trying to kill me. And if she had just stayed out of it she wouldnt have had the huge gash in her stomach. A silver blade half in.

The silver was on fire. I could tell Dinah was burning. Gently, I pulled the knife out and threw it. It sailed over the trees. Lauren had stayed. Looking down at Dinah. The moon was still up, a slight shiver rippling its beauty.

"Luna."

For a second I was going to tell Lauren not to call me Luna. But it wasnt what Lauren meant. She was looking at the moon. Her deep green eyes pleading. Tears falling down her cheeks. She needed the moon.

"Bring her back." Lauren whispered to the air.

I stood up. "Just stop it Lauren. You did this. You have me now. Are you happy?"

Lauren looked up at me. "It was never you I waned Camz. Never you."

"What did you want? Us both dead? Dinah dead?"

She says nothing.

With a sigh I turn to look at the moon.

"Luna."

The words slipped from my mouth. Remembering them on Dinahs lips.

"Luna."

"Shut it." I whispered under my breath.

"Luna."

"Shes dead. Its silver. She has to be dead."

I hear Lauren gasp and then I turn around. Dinah Jane sits there. The knife beside her. Shes in a glowing circle of moonstone rocks. Glowing a faint whitish goldish. Her eyes are closed but her mouth is shaping the words.

"Luna."

"Dinah?" I ask, approaching slowly.

"Luna." She repeats.

The hole in her stomach is gone. The blood is washing away as if its water dripping off a glass on a hot summers day. Dinahs hair glitters with specks of dust. The moon in the sky no longer shivers, instead its falling down. Sunrise.

"Is she okay?" I turn to Lauren. "Is she!?"

"I- I dont know. Ive never seen this happen."

"Well whats happening?"

"I think the moon has revived her. She took power from it. At least thats my guess. Now shes chanting to it maybe." Lauren says slowly. Trying to make sense of Dinahs nonsense.

Dinahs eyes fly open. "Luna."

My heart races and I move toward her circle. She smiles at me, teeth seemingly whiter than before. Her wild mane of hair is its usual wild mess of brown, light brown, and every so often some red. Her clothes are clean. A white crop top expousing her stomach slightly, white high waisted shorts, and a baseball cap.

"Karla." Dinah says. She moves from her circle takes me into her arms. I can feel them buz under my touch. A strong feeling of the moon hums under her skin. As if it knows Im one of her children. Lunas children.

"You- you were dead."

"Nope. I will never die."

She places her hand on my heart. "Because your my everything. Your my heart. Mine may stop beating, but yours goes on. And until it stops I have a reason to fight death. Because your alive, because your heart beat is mine."

Lauren stiffens beside us, clearly akward. Dinah turn toward her, not letting go of my hand. "You need to leave now." She says sternly.

"You cant make me do anything." Lauren growls.

I waited for Dinah to wolf out and blow but she kept scary calm. "Jauregui, hun, I am an Alpha, you are daddys princess but that cant save you now."

"Maybe you shouldnt have run away."

"Maybe I had to."

"You dont get a choice in this world Dinah. You know that. I know that. And you cant run forever. This, you and I, is going to bring war to our packs. What do you want?"

Dinah moved to stand right in front of Lauren. Towering over the girl. "Maybe I wouldntve had to run if you just understood. If you could-"

"Im not straight Dinah. Stop being so selfish."

My mind was racing. "What are you guys talking about?"

They ignored me. Typical.

"You cant take her from me."

"I can, I will." Lauren said confidently.

Dinahs eyes glowed. Not yellow. But palish silver. "I forbid it. We are mates."

"But she wasnt your original mate."

"Try all you want Jauregui. The moon is on our side."

Lauren froze. "What did you say?"

"We both know this is ending in war. But tell me.... can your pack fight against the moon? Can it fight Karla and I?"
