I was silent, like I was actually the whole time.

"Okay you don't want to talk to me. I can really understand. It's better to remain silent than to say something that could possibly have consequences for you."

I tried to stare as still as possible, but my face twisted mockingly. "

Yes, one should be careful with werewolves. even if they don't always do it on purpose, be incredibly cruel and unfair. Sure they have their reasons for it, but I don't even always understand them myself, and I'm one myself now. You know, the werewolves think their system is super

simple to understand, but there is so much that you can do wrong, especially as a human being.

Life among humans is far simpler. But you have to let the werewolves go, they are superior to us in some aspects and not just physically."

I couldn't resist a quick sideways glance at the young woman.

"I know you don't believe me, I would if I were you Probably not either. Sounds crazy from a human perspective. But werewolves are much more open in many aspects of life, much more tolerant of other life plans. Of course there are people here who are more conservative. But for example on topics such as same-sex love or combinations like with those and the twins, nobody really takes offense.

Fellowship is predetermined. Nothing that an individual can influence and therefore nothing that you could potentially blame him for."

I had to suppress a contemptuous snort. Of course, these monsters were open about this obsession. They themselves didn't have any disadvantage from it either "

Yes, I know. The whole thing sounds pretty stupid. Love at first sight is something that is told to children in fairy tales. Vernab of human, adult reality. But for the werewolves it is reality. Every moment in which one

's Looking into a companion's eyes is the most beautiful moment in life. It hits you again and again like a slap."

That was almost disgusting what she said. The longer I was here, the stranger I found these werewolves and I was glad that I had so little to do with them in my life.

"Do you actually know that we both have something in common?"

I looked at her for a moment but then quickly looked away

again

Not long ago a werewolf took my sister's life. To make matters worse, I was also injured by a werewolf in the incident with my parents. You can certainly still hear that my voice is ailing. I've only recently been able to speak at all but it's slowly getting better and better.

But when it happened and for years after that, I was just torn apart. I had terrible fear and anger inside me. And I just had no way to process these feelings. I had to pull myself together, as did my sister who has been raising me ever since.

Her death was almost worse than that of my parents."

I had to swallow.

Somehow there was a resemblance somewhere that couldn't be denied. At least in this one aspect. "

My condolences." over the lips.

She smiled at me sadly.

,,Same to you."

I breathed in and out, feeling trembling. Expecting the twins to burst back in at any moment to confront me about speaking.

"You know, even if you see me as an enemy, a monster, I will at least try to help you get along here.

The others here just have no idea what it's like for someone like us."

"Come on, let's go outside. In here the ceiling falls on your head. Otherwise I can just wait a moment so you can change."

Just like Lily, I looked down at myself.

The clothes were already a little dry, but they were still damp, almost stuck to my skin. "

I didn't other than that. These aren't my things anyway. To be honest, I probably don't even want to know where my actual things are.", I mumbled quietly.

"Let me guess, the two idiots didn't even think of showing you something here, did they?"

I shook my head in the negative.

"Oh man.", She sighed: "Then we'll have to see where we are to find."

She got up and asked me to do the same.

I looked at her uncertainly.

"And you think it's just okay to look for new clothes somewhere? I mean, they both live here." "

Yes, I'm pretty sure of that. After all, I'm the Luna of the pack. I'm allowed to do almost anything. Especially if I even have a reason to do so. You'll probably be like

me , find out pretty quickly that werewolves have a very different definition of privacy."

"What do you mean by that?" "

Well, let's put it this way: there is actually nothing too private not to share with the pack. It doesn't matter whether it's sadness or joy, or even sex."

"WHAT?!", I covered my mouth in shock. Why did I scream so loud? The two guys are guaranteed to appear again just no way they didn't hear that when they were around.

And of course they weren't far away after I tried to escape.

"Hey, everything's fine. Remember? I sent those two away earlier . As long as I'm still here, neither of them will come back."

"Really not?" I asked uncertainly. I couldn't really imagine that.

"Yes, really not. Otherwise you would undermine my authority and neither of them would ever dare.

However, I would like to say that you are doing them an injustice. They would have come because they were afraid that something would happen to you. After all, you're the most important thing they have in their lives." "

Bullshit!" I just replied.

"No, that's not 'bullshit'. I know you can't remember it, but when you were in a coma you almost never took your eyes off them. And even if they had to, only for a maximum of a few hours. They hardly let anyone into heaven for fear something might happen to you." "

This obsession is sick!"

"Obsession... well, you're kind of right. You are literally obsessed with the other. But you should stay away, that's something neither of them chose

Whether it is coincidence that brought you together or fate is probably irrelevant. But this connection between you is something that cannot be denied on the part of a werewolf." "

But the whole thing is only based on a sick compulsion..." "

Yes, as a human being you probably see it that way. A werewolf would probably be highly offended if you said that to him. They don't see it as a compulsion, but as an opportunity to be able to love without any prejudice. And it seems to be working.

There are only a few exceptions in the history of werewolves where a werewolf relationship didn't work out. And they had far worse conditions than yours or mine."

"Seriously, you don't want to tell me that there are worse things than when these beasts destroy your family?" But as far as one wants to believe the written as well as oral sources, there are things that are even worse and I am tempted to believe them, because if the loss of the family were the very worst evil in the world, I wouldn't have to fear any more possible ones things in the future. But that would probably just be naïve."
