"Who? Who's awake?".

The doctor and Rezso remained silent as they walked me over to the most beautiful rose garden full of the most colourful flowers.

Rezso bit off a single red rose from it's stem and handed it to me as the doctor and I sat down on the 2 benches that overlooked the stunning gardens.

Taking the rose from his mouth, I let out a hiss as the thorn dug into my skin. The rose fell from my hand as droplets of blood fell from my finger.

Rezso growled down at the rose on the floor and stomped on it with his huge paw.

He's such a little petty kitten.

Rezso nudged my hand up to his face and stared at the small droplets of blood forming on my pointer finger.

Rezso whimpered softly before using his tongue to lick the wound and rid my finger of the trail of blood left by the rose. Rezso was careful as he cleaned away the blood. Everything he did was with care. I wish I could hear him talk to understand what was going on in his head.

"Thank you Rezso".

Rezso stopped licking my finger and stared up at me with puppy dog eyes.

"It was a tiny rose prick. Nothing serious little kitten" I mocked as I tapped on his nose playfully.

Rezso snarled at me and then turned to the trampled rose and growled lowly at the thing that had hardly hurt me.

"He's very protective over you, even the tiniest scratch will get him worked up. Just so you're aware".

I couldn't help but laugh at Rezso huffing and puffing like a stroppy teenager. He was just too cute for a large wolf.

"But I think it's time we talk about you seeing as you have heard her".

Rezso sat himself down in front of me so I could still stroke his fur as I listened to the doctor talk.

"I'm just going to cut to the point. You have a wolf". 

My heart started to race as his words sunk in. I have a wolf, just like Rezso.

"I-I don't understand how. I'm a human, I'm not like you or anyone in this community. My father is a human too. So how can I have this wolf?".

Rezso growled and the doctor shook his head.

"He's told you so many lies. I didn't realise to what extent. Listen, what I'm about to tell you is not going to be easy to swallow but I need you to stay calm and just wait until I've finished speaking. Is that alright Luna?".

I shook my head nervously and waited for the doctor to talk. Whatever he was about to tell me was something that would change my life. I could tell by the way he looked at me.

"As you're aware, Rezso was tested on by your father who you presume to be human. He isn't. He is an Alpha of another pack, in other words, he's the leader of a very large group of werewolves. Somehow your father knew that you were the mate of his rival Alpha. He didn't want the bloodlines joining. He despised our pack and our leader. So as well as capturing and testing on Rezso, I am so sorry to say but he has been testing on you too".

My hands covered my mouth in shock as my breathing grew heavy. Everything I had ever known, everything I ever believed was one big lie. My father, the man I had always trusted had been testing on his own daughter for his own selfish gain.

Rezso leaned into me and nuzzled his head in my arms.

"He has done unimaginable things to your wolf. He's tortured her, taunted her and made her fear people to the extent that she stayed silent for many years of her life. She is afraid of people because of what your father has done. He managed to suppress your wolf and raise you believing you were human. But in fact, you are a Luna, the prophecy Luna that saved our Alpha. A Luna is more a less the Queen of a pack and you will be the one to unite our pack and save us all from the outside threat. Rezso here is your mate, which means you are soul mates and there will never be another like him. You saved him and he makes you stronger. Your wolf is wanting to meet Rezso and I can already tell she's lighting up a fire inside of you".
