New story for y'all.
Purely Teen Wolf, which I sadly do not own.
Its teaser/tester.
Luna White lived with Scott McCall; Melissa had taken her in when her mother, her only living relative had died four years earlier and Luna had no where to go. She too felt the sting of the divorce, wondering if part of the problem was her being there, if her presence had put more strain on the family then what was already there. If it had, Melissa never uttered a word nor had Scott; they both considered her to be part of their family and would not have had it any other way.
She knew when Scott had turned into a werewolf; but she had kept it to herself because her best friends thought it would be best if they did not tell her. It stung, but Luna understood why they had tried to spare her the new development. They had forgotten that her mothers death had been strange and still considered an unsolved murder, something that did not sit well with the Sheriff. They forgot that she believed in things that were not supposed to be real because that was how her mother had raised her, on stories and legends of great families and the creatures they were surrounded by.
Luna was good at being sneaky, mostly because people did not notice her and if they did, they pretended as if they did not. The only people who really saw her were Scott and Stiles and since Scott had been bitten, they had been too involved in that to really notice her.
So one night, she took a familiar path to the old Hale house and stood there; she closed her eyes and remembered it in all of its glory, how beautiful it had been and full of life. Her heart ached for the souls that were lost, all of the innocence and greatness that fell without a proper cause.
That's when she heard him. "Hello Derek." He appeared out of the trees, staring at her as he approached her. "Do you remember when Cora and I would play together? While our mothers took tea in her study. How you would watch over us like a hawk, making sure that no harm came to us, but most importantly that Cora never accidentally bit me."
"Luna?" She turned to him and smiled.
"You've grown up on me." She continued to smile. "I heard about your mother."
Her smile faded, but only slightly. "Thank you." She wrapped her arms around herself and walked closer to him; he had gotten even more handsome then she had remembered, but so very sad as well.
They stared at each other for a long time before either of them spoke. He inched closer to her and finally engulfed her in a hug; it had been a long time since he had had a hug like hers.
When he pulled back, she was the first to speak. "Did you bite Scott?"
"You know?" She gave him a look and he only smiled a rare smile.
"No, an alpha did."
Luna sucked in a breath. "An alpha? Here? Nothing good has come from alphas being here, not since your mother." Derek looked at her surprised for a moment before remembering just how much the white family had known. "Will he hurt Scott?"
"I don't know yet." She nodded. "I should go. Not that Scott notices that I am gone anymore. He's too wrapped up in this werewolf business and a hunters daughter."
"You know about that?"
"We live in the same house, how could I not?" She asked as she started to walk away but he grabbed her wrist.
From a distance, Scott and Stiles watched, confused as to what exactly was going on. And considering they had just arrived, they were quite lost. "You shouldn't go home alone."
Luna smiled sadly. "I'm always alone." She took a deep breath. "He won't come after me Derek. He knows what all wolves do when they catch my scent."
Derek brought her hand to his mouth and kissed it. "You're close to Scott. He could use you."
She smirked. "Let him try."
It was Derek's turn to smirk. "You are just as I remember; stubborn."
She shrugged and took her hand back. "It runs in my family."
"At least let me walk you home."
"You know, I have never been able to say no to you. Not once."
"Oh I remember plenty of times you said no to me."
She smiled. "Because you were so cute when you were mad."
He shook his head. "Come on Luna. I am walking you home." She rolled her eyes as they started back towards her home, while Scott and Stiles quietly heading towards Stiles jeep to meet her home.

"Did you know that?" Stiles asked as they got in his keep and Scott shook his head.
"I had no idea." He looked at Stiles. "Have we really been ignoring her?" Stiles thought about it for a moment and before he could answer, Scott shook his head. "Wait, don't answer that. We already know the answer."
"And we'll have to get more from her when we get back to your place. I don't like how chummy they were." Stiles said causing Scott to smirk.
As much as Stiles claimed an undying love for Lydia, he knew that his overprotectiveness of Luna and his general dislike of other guys near her was more then just a friendly jester. Such as her past relationship with Jackson and everything that had happened between them, that had always bothered Stiles.
Scott was just wondering when Stiles was going to do something about it, because he also saw the way that Derek was looking at Luna and that he personally did not like.
As he drove, Stiles drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, letting his brain run wild with all of the ideas about Luna and Derek take him over. He did not like the look of it and he knew Scott felt the same way.
Even before Luna's mother died, Scott considered her to be his sister and that she was one of the most important people in his life. For Stiles, it was the same, except as much as he cared about her, it was not a siblings love and even he knew that.
He had an relentless crush on Lydia, but it was different with Luna, she liked him for him and she didn't constantly reject him like Lydia did. He honestly did not know what to do because he valued their friendship above all.
"Scott?"
"Yeah?"
"How do you think she figured out about you being a werewolf? I mean its only been going on now for less then a month and you've been pretty careful and-"
"She's smart remember? Smarter then both of us, probably combined."
"Hey!" Scott gave him a look and trying to look hurt was just dumb on Stiles side because he knew it was true.
"What are we going to say to her when we get there? Hi Luna, sorry to bother you, but did you know that Scott is a werewolf now and we were just wondering why you were hanging out with Derek Hale who is or is not a freaking sociopath?"
"Yeah, lets lead with that."
"Come on Scott, I'm serious." Scott shrugged and Stiles hit his steering wheel in frustration; what the hell were they going to do.
And so you have it. Please let me know what you think. I love feedback and I want to know what you think of Luna. Predictions and questions are gladly welcomed. Please review, add and favorite. ;)
