Authors note: So, here is the second chapter to Moonlight. I've decided to make this the prequel to Hold On, which I'll continue after Keep Me Safe is finished. But you won't find out until later in the story, how what happens in Moonlight, is connected to what happens in Hold on ;) Anyway, I hope everyone likes it :) And thank you for all of the support! :)
Roman brought the strange man back to his cave, setting his naked form down in the soft furs. He wrapped them around him, that way so he wouldn't get cold. He worried that he may be sick, from being outside in the snow at night.
He watched over him while he slept. Still curious about where he had come from, what he was, and who he was. He wondered how he was going to be able to help him, when he couldn't even understand what he was saying.
The next morning, he woke up, feeling hands running through his hair. He looked up, seeing that the man he had saved, was awake, staring down at him. He smiled down at him.
"You're awake."
Roman sat up, moving away from him. "I...I can understand what you're saying now..."
"Roman, whats wrong?" The man crept closer to him.
"Stay back!" Roman growled at him. "Who the hell are you?"
The man stayed silent, tilting his head at Roman.
"Answer me! Speak!" Roman took out his knife, putting it up against the man's throat. He didn't even flinch, feeling the cold blade on his skin. "What the hell are you?"
"I don't know...I don't know what I am anymore. I can't remember much from my past, but I do remember you."
"What are you talking about? I don't know you...we've never met before until now..."
"So, you don't remember me? You weren't reborn with memories of us?"
"No...no, why would I be?" His knife broke the skin, a little bit of blood falling onto the furs. "Now tell me who you are, before I kill you."
"My name is Dean. I was reborn as a flower. A moon flower. That's where I come from, but it is not my home. And this place...this place is not your home either."
Roman lowered his knife, confused by what this man, Dean, was saying. "Of course this is my home. I live here."
"But you weren't born here. In this part of the world, in this time." He pointed his hands to himself. "Me, and you...this is not our true forms. We weren't originally born like this."
"I...I don't understand..."
Dean put his arms around him, nuzzling his face against his fur. "We need to go back home. Please take me home."
"I don't even know where that is..." Roman lifted his face up, seeing that he had a forlorn look on his face. He noticed a stray tear sliding down his cheek, which he wiped away. "Your eyes...whats wrong with your eyes?"
"I can't see you...but I can you feel your presence. I wasn't like this before."

He was now laying next to him, holding onto his hand, underneath the moon that was still full.
"Your skin...it is glowing..." Roman said, in awe at how beautiful Dean looked.
"Blooming...I only bloom when it is a full moon."
"Now I know why you feel so soft...so delicate...so fragile. As if you could break just by me touching you." His hands traced over his back, feeling a large scar near his shoulder blade. "How did you get that?"
"You."
"Me?"
"Yes. You did it so you could save me. To save our future."
"D-Dean...I need to ask you something. Why me? Why did you come to me?"
"I came back so I could fix what I couldn't in the past."
"What happened in the past?"
"I couldn't stop you two from fighting. Jealousy took over both of your hearts, destroying what we once had. I tried to stop you two, but in the end, I couldn't. I was too late."
Roman was about to ask who this other person was, but he soon heard another wolf howling in the distance. He turned back into his wolf form, stepping in front of Dean. "Another wolf is here. Must have smelled your scent. We need to get you back to my cave."
"He won't hurt us."
"You don't know that! He could be dangerous for all we know."
"He is not dangerous, he just wants to be with us again. Its Seth. Seth came back to us."
