A night, one where the moon is full and ever so bright. A night where the stars shine. A night so quiet you can hear the wind brushing the leaves on trees. That was how this night was, the trees of the forest were just close enough you could move through, and the leaves and branches were so close only some areas had moonlight coming through.
This forest is one that holds the weird and unknown, it's where the supernatural thrive. This forest may look normal on the outside but it's filled with magic, magic that not many have ever seen before. There are stories as old as time about werewolves, vampires, ghosts, ghouls, and other creatures. They say the beasts have the magic, and keep it from the mortals. Yet I believe we were not given their power as humans are creatures of new and the gods see no use for mortals to possess such power.
I have visited this forest and seen what it holds, I would not wish the things I have seen for any man or woman. For we may fight between each other but they have war with all. They have the beauty of a child's imagination and the pain of mankind's mind. We would never be able to hold the power they have without the feeling of our insides being ripped out.
I have seen the way of the packs of werewolves and the covens of vampires, yet I shall never get near. For those two fight each other tooth and claw. I have seen elves and mages who are kind with hearts of gold, something not even the nicest human could hold a flame to. I have heard the tales of ghosts and how sad their death or lives were, they shed more tears then we could ever imagine.
This forest goes on further than one's own thought. It holds more than the weird though, for it shows their own humanity and their own way of living. There are more creatures that live in the forest. More than we thought to have existed, it's as if it's a whole other world, one with light and dark but also bits of gray.
She was destined to be Luna... until the past walked back into the room.
On the night she is meant to finally bond with her Alpha, everything falls apart. The girl who once stole her childhood-who stole her family's love, who abandoned her to die-returns and instantly becomes the center of everyone's world again.
And in one heartbreaking moment of hesitation... she sees the truth.
She will never be anyone's first choice in this pack.
So she makes the bravest decision of her life-
she walks away.
No more begging.
No more proving herself.
No more breaking just to be seen.
But the moment she chooses herself, the world she leaves behind turns chaotic.
The Alpha who wavered becomes desperate to claim her.
The family that ignored her wants her back.
And the girl who once destroyed her life returns with new manipulations and old lies.
For the first time, she's done being silent.
Done being replaced.
Done being the sacrifice.
If they want their Luna back, they'll have to earn her.
But even if they do...
will her heart ever trust them again?
