"Lily Dew,Momma is tired,move along we need to get out of woods before  the moon arrives."

Lily looked at her momma from the flower  crown she was weaving and asked "Momma, could I please finish my flower crown and then could we return home?"
Anna looked at her daughter's hopeful almond eyes and felt her heart melting.
"Fine Dew.But you shall finish fast, we need to be home  before twilight."
"Momma why don't we ever roam after dusk?"Lily pouted.
"I love moon and I wanna be in moonlight."

She too loves moonlight like her father

Anna  shook away her reminiscing thoughts.

No, she is nothing like him.

"My Dew baby, moonlight brings darkness,and creatures of moon are malicious and hauntingly horrible."

"We are the creatures of light; of the sun, we should not roam in the gloomy night. '

" Momma, what are the creatures of night?. Are they not like us hoomans?"

Anna gently picked up Lily and Lily clung to her mama like a koala.
She waited for her mama to continue but
Anna  looked  distant, she was contemplating on the idea on to tell Lily Dew the truth about her past.

No,I will protect my baby, she doesn't need to know the entire truth

"Dew baby, creatures of night are not mere human like us, they have a beast;a wolf in them too.'
Widening her bambi eyes Lily turned her entire attention to her mother.

"They are  bloodthirsty savages, who care about no one but themselves and their mates."
"What is a mate?, momma"

Anna smile at the nativity of her daughter and said

"It's not 'what' but 'who', Lily baby.
Mates are predestined loves of a werewolf, gifted as a compensation by the moon goddess for making them such savage brutes."

Lily bit her lips,deeply thinking and clinged to her momma tight .

Anna left a sigh of relief and continued walking towards their humble home .

As the night proceed the wind blew harsher, Anna cursed herself for not bring their coats. She could felt lily's limbs getting colder and started walking faster.
When they were few stones away from their home
Lily looked at her momma straight in the eye and asked

"Momma, could I ever meet a werewolf ? "

Anna froze, shocked by her words
And in a icily cold voice said
"LILY!"
Dew flinched slightly but Anna continued
"You pray to the lord that you never met a werewolf ."

"But momma what if I do? "
Anna looked down,  as if Lily had opened a shamed wound and replied ghostly
"Then you will end up like momma ."
