Dream & Talk.

I walk along the trail watching the danger signs as I feel that familiar feeling that the forest is calling me I sigh trying to understand why the hell I came here at night I must be crazy I tell myself this as I watch the full moon take a hit air even more tense for the view of the dark forest, the trees slowly swaying as the fog gradually covers them and the noise of some animals echoes through the place in a harmonious way, giving me the feeling of being in a horror movie scene.

Only the terrifying soundtrack that marks the moment of the murders is missing.

With that thought, my mind plays with my emotional replaying repeatedly scenes from the movie Panic in the Forest where those deformed creatures appear out of nowhere ready to rip the head off the poor unsuspecting being who dares to at least pass close to the place where they inhabit. I smile knowing that maybe I'm going crazy, after all I'm here on a trail that leads to the forbidden forest about to break the biggest rule of my pack and going totally against my father, if I get caught entering the forest without permission I'll have to fear Even my own life, that thought makes me want to turn around, but then I hear her, her voice echoing in my head, confusing me.

" Moon."

"Scream my name."

"Scream."

" Luna Blackwood."

I swallow hard feeling my heart beat fast making my chest rise and fall with the sudden difficulty in breathing, I bring my hand to my chest and feel something strange, I lower my gaze and then I see Pandora's necklace, I am confused as I analyze the object in my hand thinking about how the hell it got into my hand and it gets even worse when I hear a strange noise and then there she is walking through the trees. The long blonde hair fluttering in the wind, her skin in contrast to the moon's glow that seemed to follow her, the tight smile at the corner gracing her slightly reddened lips, her blue eyes that I particularly adore were a little dark and there was a different glow in them, something a little dark, she arches an eyebrow as she leans against a tree crossing her arms looking at me from the side, that specific way that causes me sensations I've never felt before.

- Called me ? - He asks a little loudly with a tone of amusement.

- I... - I pause to take a deep breath trying to contain my heart that beats so fast making me feel like I'm going to have a heart attack at any moment. - Not me, you... How... What are you doing here? - I ask finally after getting all wrapped up.

- You screamed for me. - she answers as if it was an obvious answer and I quickly deny it while she just remains the same staring at me. - He is sure ? - She asks smiling right away showing her white teeth well aligned as she leans back from the tree. - You know, I'm sure in your mind you scream my name constantly. - She completes walking towards me and I raise my hand in a mute signal for her to stop where she is, but she doesn't.

- Don't come any closer. - I ask more she totally ignores my request continuing her way towards me and then I take a step back.

- Don't run away, Blackwood. - He says my last name in a slurred way and I swallow dry feeling that this action of yours has caused me a shiver of those that make you wonder if this is not a good time to run away.

And I want to run away.

I really want to, but I can't.

Her blue eyes focused on mine terrified me, I want to run, I want to get away from her, but my body seems to be paralyzed by her presence.

- I'm not a threat to you. -she says stopping just inches away. - You may not think so, but your body and your mind scream for me. -she whispers touching my face with her fingertips while the other reaches my hand and then her gaze drops to our hands together pressing her necklace. - Scream my name, scream it loud and I'll come to you. She completes turning her gaze to mine.

- I don't... - I can't finish when I feel my heart pounding so hard making my voice disappear for a few seconds.

- The blood moon. - says Pandora looking up and then I see a red light reflect on her skin.

I lift my gaze following the bright red trail reflected in her skin while the exposed skin of her neck looks attractive to me, I slowly lift my gaze to her chin and then her lips, nose and finally her eyes that reflect the blood moon, noticing my gaze on her, she turns her attention away from the moon and then looks at me smiling the same way she smiled in the bathroom at Starbucks, an open and genuine smile.

- Don't be afraid, little wolf. - She says and when I notice something different in my reflection I understand her request.

Golden eyes.

That's not possible.

There are no alpha women.

This is a hallucination.

I wake up startled gasping for air and then look around for Pandora or the forest but all I see is my room and then I realize it was just a crazy dream, I sigh in relief throwing myself back lying down, I look at the clock on the bedside table and I'm not surprised to see that it's still four o'clock in the morning. I hear a knock on the door and then my uncle's voice with a careful, worried tone.

- Luna, are you all right? - Asks on the other side of the door.

- You may come in. - I answer and then I see him open the door slowly and then he puts his head into the room with his eyes closed.

- Can I really, don't I run the risk of leaving here traumatized? - he asks amused making me laugh and then he opens his eyes and then enters the room fully.

- Traumatized I don't know, but I'm glad your keen wolf instincts brought you here, because I really need to talk to you. - I answer and he smiles with a confused expression as he sits on the edge of the bed. - But first tell me what you do awake at this hour? - I ask curiously.

- Always curious. He says with a smile and then sighs. - I have insomnia and I'm taking the opportunity to advance some matters of the pack. - completes looking worried.

- Do you have a problem with the pack? - I ask and he looks at me with an expression of who seems to think whether or not to tell me. - Uncle, if there's something going on I need to know, after all, whether I like it or not, I'm still part of this pack. - complete and he smiles.

- You're right. He says putting his hand on mine and then he takes a deep breath. - There were some suspicious attacks in a city near here and due to the lack of blood on the victims' bodies, despite all of them having been practically torn apart, we know well that it is not a wolf or some animal. - complete and I'm surprised.

- Do you really think there may be vampires approaching our city? - I ask and he nods.

- Later I will check this personally and take some guys with me for safety, but I ask you to be careful dear, they may have come here, so always be accompanied by Kai or a member of the pack. - he answers and I nod, after all I know well what vampires are capable of, not to mention that it is rare, but some have certain abilities beyond the natural ability to hypnotize their victims.

And usually these vampires with abilities are part of the "blood triad."

The blood triad is like the rule of supernatural beings

Some say that it was originally formed by humans too desperate to the point of making a pact with a powerful demon in search of power and offering their loyalty in return, but when you summon a demon you should know that in the end it will not fulfill its agreement of the way you expect.

- Do you think the blood triad can intervene? - I ask my uncle who denies it.

- They only get involved in specific cases like the witch massacre a thousand years ago where our ancestor Kasper Blackwood hunted down all the witches in the city and killed them as punishment for killing and using children's bones in rituals. - he answers and that name reminds me of something.

" Kasper Blackwood."

"I cursed your clan."

"The first alpha."

For a moment that voice echoes again in my mind, reminding me of my hallucination moment at that party.

- Kasper Blackwood, I've heard that name before. - I say and my uncle makes a face, raising his eyebrows with his light green eyes a little wide.

- You shouldn't know that, if it was your father here instead of me he would hand you over to the council. - says my nervous uncle.

- I'm his daughter, as much as we have our differences I don't think he would do that. - I say and my uncle smiles, shaking his head and I notice something in his eyes that I don't like at all. - Would he turn me in? - I question and my uncle takes a deep breath.

- No, honey, but don't even think about that name around him, okay. - asks and I say nothing.

- Why can't I say that name? - I ask wanting to get something out of him.

- Forget that I told you that name and that you've heard it wherever it is and don't ask questions I can't answer, please. - He answers seriously and I nod just to make him calm, after all I won't forget that name in any way and since he doesn't answer me I'll have to look for answers myself. - What else did you want to talk to me about? - he asks changing the subject and I sigh.

- Well, I would like to know about your transformation process, I know it was different from others. - I answer and he seems surprised by this question.

- Your father already told you the story of how I changed for the first time. - he says and I nod sitting on the bed.

- Yes, but I know he omitted all the important details and summarized the story to " my brother met a human and had a chronic crush that ended badly and then had his first transformation. " - I say amused and he lets out a nasal laugh while you shake your head.

- This is something that is in the past, I'll tell you someday, I promise, but at the moment I don't feel able to talk about it. - he says with a sad expression and I smile in a restrained way. - But I can tell you a similar story. - suggests and I nod.

- As long as there are no witches who kill children to use their bones in rituals. - I say amused and he laughs shaking his head.

- Don't worry, this one is light. - He says amused and I smile. - Well, a few centuries ago when the first supernatural beings appeared, there was a man who did not transform into a wolf, but into a werewolf and was quite out of control during the full moon, so he committed countless atrocities, but one day after the effect of the full moon passed he woke up in an unfamiliar bed, he was wearing old pajamas and covered by a sheet that obviously wasn't his, but a beautiful woman's who found him dead in the forest all dirty with dirt and blood. he completes thoughtfully and I roll my eyes knowing he's making a dramatic pause.

- Continue soon. - I ask and he laughs nodding.

- He got up scared thinking about how the hell he had ended up there and that he would kill any being that entered that room and tried to stop him from leaving there, but when he saw a beautiful woman with white hair and white skin he was amazed at her beauty, but he was confused because that was the first woman he saw with hair that color, so he jumped out of the window and ran farther away. - He says and I make a face, finding this story quite stupid. - But as the days went by he found himself stuck with the image of that woman repeating itself often in his mind and so he decided to go back to that place to see her again and when he saw her from afar drawing water from a well something inside him changed , his heart was beating madly and that sensation unknown to him was taking over all his senses. - He pauses and clears his throat to clear his voice before speaking again. - The woman had noticed his presence, but pretended not to so he wouldn't run away again, so only when he approached her and offered her help did she say "I thought I'd wait a few more months to be able to have the courage to talk to me." - he completes laughing and I make a face.

- Can you summarize? - I ask and he laughs even more.

- In short, the man was a beast and he fell in love with the woman from the first moment he saw her, he didn't notice that the moment he saw her for the first time his soul was marked, he had found the person who would give him the control of yourself again, your soul link. - Answers and now I'm interested. -Then the next full moon when he turned something happened, he no longer became a beast unable to think or act on his own, but a beautiful and huge wolf aware of his actions. - completes smiling.

- How was that possible? - I ask confused.

-The woman he met and fell in love with was a white witch, a servant of nature who also made a sacrifice for her to have fallen in love with so that man would not suffer so much in the face of the full moon. - he answers and I roll my eyes.

- Why in these stories women always sacrifice themselves for men? - I ask indignantly. - That's why the witch's tale is more fun. - I joke and he laughs.

- I don't know, but this is one of the legends that explain the existence of wolves since originally the first supernatural being with fur and fangs was a man who became a werewolf after making a stupid pact with a demon. - he says and I nod.

- So it's really true? - I ask and he looks at me. - The triad was initially three crazy humans who summoned a powerful demon and made a pact with him? - I ask and he nods.

- Yes, the woman who wanted to save the life of her son who was dying of yellow fever, the man who took advantage of the poor and feared death and finally the mad king who had a phobia of animals with fur and four legs and then had them killed. all animals with these characteristics. - Answer calmly and then I understand. - The mad king became something worse than the animals he hated and with that he lost his kingdom by turning into a werewolf at the full moon and killing everyone for lack of control, the man who took advantage of the poor became an irrational dead shell who needs to suck the blood of living beings so that it doesn't rot and finally the woman who wanted to save her son became evil after getting what she wanted, because despite being the only one with a good intention she looked for the wrong way to cure her son and then became the first night witch thus losing her soul. - complete and I sigh.

- The ends do not justify the means. I say and he nods with a smile.

- Exactly dear, that's why when we seek to justify our mistakes instead of recognizing them and changing, we automatically put ourselves at the mercy of the law of return. - He says, seeming to think about something. - Anyway, I don't know why you asked me about my transformation, but I believe that soon you will find the answers you need, just don't run away from your destiny. - complete and I roll my eyes.

- Are you talking about the destiny that my father created for me where I will marry a suitor chosen by him and give male grandchildren that he will adore while the women he will treat as a disposable object? - I question sarcastically and he sighs.

- I'm talking about the destiny that was written for you and that only following your heart will help you get to where you need to be in the end. - He answers and I get confused, but I smile. - I have to get ready to go to the other city, but don't forget everything I told you today, always follow your heart and try to go back to sleep. - complete and I sign.

- Thank you for being different. - I say when I see him get up and he looks at me.

- Different kind of the cutest of the family ? - Amused question and I roll my eyes.

- For being the adult I can talk to and count on. - I answer and he smiles leaning his body down and then kisses my forehead.

- Have good dreams. - he says and then pinches my cheek. - My precious. - complete imitating the voice of Gollum from the lord of the rings making me laugh as he walks to the door and blows a kiss before leaving.

I sigh knowing that even though I'm the only one I can talk to about things that women don't have access or freedom to research, my uncle can't tell me certain things that put me at risk, unfortunately there are rules he can't break, but that doesn't mean I can't. I'm going to find out the full story of Kasper Blackwood and his witch hunt, it may not be now, but I know I'll find the answers I need.

Even if I have to break all existing rules and those they invent.

There's something wrong with me and I can't just sit around waiting for something bad to happen.
