Author's note: this is from Cristina's point of view

I was ecstatic when Zoe invited me to Luca's birthday party. I never went to France or spent time on the beach, and that sounded like a dream of every sixteen years-old girl (werewolves included).
I was feeling slightly reluctant when I remembered that I'm not really friends with Luca, but the lure of fun on a sandy beach and a blue sea was too strong and it overpowered everything else.
The only obstacles were my parents who are overprotective of me and my siblings. I am the second oldest out of five children, with an older brother, two younger sisters, and another brother as the youngest one. We are a tight family, sharing happiness and hardships, and always worrying about each other.
