*Luna's POV*

I was in Michael's room reading the book coyote gave me, he wasn't home yet, so I was just using it as a place to read quietly until he returned.

I was studying the chapter titled 'Vampire/Human Relations: The Destined Mates' and paused when I came to the "symptoms" of being/finding the destined mate of a vampire.

*Until a vampire finds their mate, they will dream of them & ONLY them during day-sleep, and if they encounter their mate, they will recognize them instantly. One of the most common symptoms a vampire may experience is an overwhelming possessiveness, and will attack & kill anything or anyone that they see as a threat to their mate. Other symptoms they may have include aggression toward any & all "competition", and an overwhelming desire to turn/claim their mate.*

Apparently humans have side effects too, as explained in the next segment of the book.

*If a human is the destined mate of a vampire, they will usually have a very hard time forming romantic relationships with another human.*

To be honest, i've never really felt attraction to anyone, even as a so-called 'hormonal teenager' I always considered the drama caused by relationships - romantic or physical - to be completely pointless & a total waste of time, plus my semi-nomadic lifestyle didn't really leave room for things like that.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts before continuing on.

*If said-human encounters or comes within close proximity to their vampire mate, they will usually feel a very strong connection with them instantaneously (though sometimes this is not the case) some have even reported experiencing a tugging sensation in their chest*

'Wait...what?'

I stopped and thought about it for a moment, when we first arrived in Santa Carla, I felt a tugging sensation in my chest, and it only got stronger when I was around Dwayne. Now that I think about it, I did feel a strange connection to him before I even knew his name.

'So...I'm his mate?'

But wait, I remember how quickly Katie & Paul seemed to click as soon as they met, Marko seemed anxious when Amber wasn't with us the night we drank from the bottle, and I've never seen Rose smile or laugh as much as she does when she's with David.

'Oh. My. God! I've gotta tell the girls! They'll go nuts!'

I was pulled from my musings when I heard Sam let out a yell, but thanks to my newly-heightened senses, I heard him say something about wishing his grandpa would 'stop giving him these stupid things'.

I guess he gave him another stuffed animal.

I was about to just go back to reading when I heard him yell again, but this time I heard Michael's voice on the other side of the wall and heard Sam say something about helping him turn human again.

Then I heard a voice that made my blood boil.

'Why is that fucking bitch here?!'

I growled when I heard her say how she had to talk to Michael and shot to my feet when I heard Sam yell that she was "one of them".

'Oh HELL no!'

*Third person POV*

Luna yanked open the door to see the rest of the girls rushing up the stairs, she ran ahead of them & threw open Sam's bedroom door before (unknowingly) using her vampire-speed to rush over & grab Star by the throat, lifting her off the ground and hearing the girls fighting to hold Michael back as she fixed her with a deadly glare.

"You've got a lot of nerve showing up here you selfish bitch! You're the one that got the Emersons mixed up in all this bullshit in the first place! And all because you're too much of a fucking coward to do things yourself!"

She dropped Star before crouching down & pinning her to the floor by her neck, she vaguely felt her features change & leaned in so that Star was forced to look straight into her - now yellow - eyes.

"I'm gonna let you up & give you a chance to talk, but you'd better have a DAMN good reason for coming here or else I'll rip your fucking throat out and shove it up your ass! Is. That. Clear?!" She growled before letting go of her & stepping back. Star managed to get to her feet while clutching her now-bruised throat and Luna nodded for the girls to let Michael go. He checked to make sure that Star was alright before saying his piece.


*Luna's POV*

"You know where David took me tonight don't you Star?"

I briefly wondered what he was talking about, but shook it off as Star finally managed to get enough oxygen to speak. "Y-yes. It's my fault, if you hadn't met me, if I hadn't liked you...I tried to warn you but-"

"It was that night in the cave wasn't it? That wasn't wine they gave us to drink, it was blood. It was David's blood."

'No shit Sherlock.'

"You drank someone's blood?! Are you crazy?!" I shot Sam a look & he shut up immediately.

"Well I'm just like David now Star!"

"No you're not! You're like Laddie & me, you're not one of them-"

"Until you make your first kill!" Sam & I said at the same time, I looked back to see the girls listening closely and decided to lean against the wall as the drama continued.

"Why didn't you kill me last night?"

'So he DID fuck the bitch! EW!' I lightly gagged before quickly composing myself.

"You were supposed to be my first, it's what David wanted. But I couldn't do it Michael."

"Why? Because you care so much about me?" I smirked at the sarcasm lacing his tone.

"Yes I do!" I rolled my eyes as she put a hand to Michael's face. He quickly yanked her hand away from him before giving her a serious look.

"What're you doing here? What do you want from me?!"

I saw tears gathering in her eyes and couldn't help but feel the tiniest bit of pity for her. She doesn't want to kill people, and I get that, but she's putting innocent people in danger because she's too cowardly to fight her own battles, and that's something I will not tolerate!

"I wanted to tell you that it's not too late for you, but for me it gets harder & harder to resist. I'm weak."

'No shit.'

Michael roughly grabbed her by the shoulders before giving her an angry look. "Why did you come here tonight Star?!"

"I was hoping you'd help Laddie & me."

Michael let out a disbelieving laugh and the girls had to hold me back from ripping her apart as she flew out the window.

"STAR!" We all ran to the window only to find her already gone.

"DON'T KILL ANYBODY UNTIL WE GET BACK TO YOU!" I turned as Sam ran to the telephone & picked up a comic book.

"What're you doing?"

"I've got connections!"
