Third Person's POV
Neon Bluestone, is a 17 year old, female.
She grew up in an orphanage, and was raised by her loving foster parents, but as the clock turns to twelve midnight on the day of her 18th birthday, she suddenly finds herself in a excruciating pain.
It was like her limbs were being pulled and twisted, and as much as she don't want to disturb her family, she found herself jumping into the balcony of their house, and upon landing, she realized, her limbs were not of humans. It was more like of a dog? no, it was like of a wolf!
Confused and scared, Neon runaway and made her way to the forest. Crying and howling altogether, she just found herself by the lake, and as the moon reflects into the water, she took a peek on what she looks like, and that is when she realized, she's a werewolf.

Neon's POV
Seeing my reflection from the lake, all I can do is to cry. I mean, it's not like I can turn back as human even if I please.
Now, feeling down and lost, I found myself, lying down underneath a tree and as I was closing eyes my eyes, I heard footsteps coming.
Trembling in fear, I crouched down to hide myself in case it's a bad guy, but what appeared is a beautiful white wolf. "Are you lost, little one?" It asked in its human voice.
Shaking my head, I looked at her and asked back. "A-am I really a werewolf now?"
Nuzzling her nose to mine, she replied. "I'm afraid that may be so, my dear." She paused, her blue eyes locked on mine. "Are you perhaps a new blood?"
"A new blood?" I asked again.
Nodding, her paws touched my face. "A new blood is someone who just manifested as a werewolf." She replied, gently.
"I-I guess I am. I mean, I'm just a normal teenager beforehand, but as the clock ticked at twelve, I just felt pained all over, and the moment I jumped out of our balcony, I was already like this." I told her.
"Then you aren't in a pack yet! Do you want to come with me? I can help you out." She offered.
"Pack?" I asked once more.
Nodding again, she explained. "We werewolves must belong to a pack of our choice and in that pack, we're almost family since we had to do alot together. It's also for our safety, since there are also other packs who got a different goal as ours." Pausing, she looked at me. "Want to come with me?"
Find myself, convinced, I then walked back with her, and as soon as we reached their camp, I was immediately surrounded by even younger ones. "Are you a new member, sister?" One of them asked.
Giggling at them, the lady wolf then said. "She's about to, can you guys take care of her first? I'll just call the Alpha."
All nodding to her, the little wolves then started telling me a lot. From how they grew up here, and how they become a member of this pack, and after few more minutes, the lady wolf comes back with an Enormous Black Wolf.
Eyeing me intently, it said. "You look familiar! What's your name?"
"N-Neon, my name is Neon." I replied in an instant, scared to make it angry.
"I see, so it really is you." Pausing, he lowered himself to level with my eye sight. "Do you perhaps remember me?" He asked, his eyes expectantly narrowing at me.
Shaking my head, I replied. "I-I'm afraid not."
Raising his brow at me, he told the little ones. "Tell her the name of your Alpha."
Nodding, the little ones then shouted in chorus. "Alpha's name is Night!"
Looking back at me he asked. "Remember now?"
Feeling shy, I nod, looking down. "I do now."
"Good." He said, then turned to the Lady Wolf. "Please let us talk for a bit."
Obliging, the lady then lead the little ones to somewhere, leaving two of us alone.
"S-so, I heard you just manifested. H-how was it? Did it hurt so much?" He asked.
Unsure if he's just being awkward or trying to be nice, I looked back at him and replied . "Yeah, it did. But more than it hurt, I'm more of scared on how things will be now. I mean, I was just a normal teenager just yesterday and now I look like this."
Nodding, he said. "Yeah, it must've been a shock to you, but it makes me wonder. Didn't your parents told you?"
Shaking my head, I looked at him. "My parents, I mean those you met before. They aren't my real parents. I actually grew up in an orphanage and they got me there when I was 12."
Looking at me with utter disbelief, he said. "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
Shaking my head again, I give him a faint smile. "It's fine. I'm sorry for not telling you too."
"Hey, it's fine! It's not like we've dated that long anyway." He said, looking away.
"Y-yeah. We're still young back then." I muttered then looked at him from my peripheral view. "I'm sorry, for breaking up with you like that."
Nodding, he replied with a smile. "It's fine, but if you hadn't done that, maybe are still on until now."
Looking at him, I asked. "You think so? But I hurt you."
Nodding, he replied once more. "We might not be lovers for long, but do know that I really loved you back then."
Nodding back, I then said. "It might be rude to ask this, but did you perhaps disappeared from the town because you manifested like this?"
And with all sincerity, he nods. "Don't take it the wrong way though. I mean, I have always known that I'd transform to this the moment I turned 18."
"I see! It must be good that your parents had prepared you for this." I replied.
Smiling, he said. "It is, but it will be better if Dad trained me to be an Alpha before he died."
Shocked, I wasn't able to keep my hands to myself and touched his paws. "I'm sorry."
Shaking his head, he replied. "It's fine, he died in glory anyway and I still have my Mom around." Pointing to the lady wolf.
"Oh my God! I'm sorry I didn't know it was her, I must have done something stupid." I quickly exclaimed.
Chuckling, his paws touched mine. "You're thinking too much, isn't she the one who brought you here? She's the Luna of this pack." He said.
"Luna?" I asked.
"If an Alpha is the head of this pack, it was the Luna's job to make sure that everything is fine and everyone is safe." He replied.
"I see, but isn't your Mom supposed to be retired as the Luna when your father died?" I asked again.
Nodding, he then said. "I already told her about that but she insisted on staying as a Luna until the new one is ready."
"A new Luna? where is she?" I replied, curiously.
"She's probably asleep now. My Mom is very particular about her being fit and healthy, especially when the full moon is approaching." He then said.
Nodding, I looked at him to ask. "What about the full moon?"
Smiling, he said. "It's the time for adult werewolves to copulate and make a new batch of pups."
"Oh you mean that…" I blushed. "Then does it mean that you guys are married already?"
Shaking his head, he replied. "We're getting married in that very night, and to see if she really is meant to be a Luna, she must bear at least a pup for me."
Curious, I asked once more. "Then what will happen if she doesn't?"
Shrugging, he said. "Then she had to give way for the second best Omega and let her bear my children."
"Second best?" I continued to ask.
Nodding, he said. "As the current Luna, my Mom had the ability to sense who are the ones who will be capable to bear my pups, and since she had the list, it was only her who knows who is the second best, and that will only be revealed by the moment we knew if the new Luna is capable or not."
Still dead curious, I decided to ask the last question I got. "T-then how do you guys determine the pairs of regular werewolves?"
Chuckling, he whispered to me. "Curious, aren't you?
Nodding, I just looked at him and waited for his answer.
"There's actually no pairing system on this pack, you can just hit it off with anyone, and if you happen to feel that you want this person, you can just ask him to mark you, so no other guy can touch you." He said, then paused. "As for you, you don't have to worry that much, I don't think Mom will let anyone have their way with you yet."
Raising my brows, I asked. "And why's that?"
Smirking, he whispered again "Don't be too hasty, Neon. You just turned 18 today, and you're yet to be introduced as the new member of our pack.My Mom won't let it."
Getting his point, I sighed and was finally relieved. Yawning, he then stood up and called for his Mom, his Mom then came elegantly running.
"Done?" It asked.
Nodding to her, Night then said. "Please look after her, Mom. I'd be resting now."
Smiling, the lady wolf then patted my head, saying. "Come with me, let's go get some rest."
Nodding, I then followed her inside a tent, and there she laid down a cloth for me to sleep on. "Thank you, Ma'am. I'm sorry for troubling you tonight."
Shaking her head, she then let me lie down as she caressed my hair. "You're no trouble my dear, Neon. I'm just glad that I got another daughter to take care of."
Feeling her warmth, I quickly dozed off and by the moment I woke up, it's already scorching hot outside. "It's probably noon now." I muttered to myself before getting up.
Going outside, I saw a bustling village, where there are nothing but werewolves like me. Trying to walk around, I carefully walked on side ways, until the little ones spotted me again.
"Sister! Sister! Come and play with us!" They said.
Unsure of what to say, I looked around, only to see Night looking at us.
"Little ones, this sister isn't free to play right now. How about you play with others first?" Night told them, and they all just ran away.
"Thanks." I told him.
"No worries. Just go find, my Mom. She told me to tell you to eat." He said.
Nodding, I tried to walk again, but I bumped into someone. "Ah! I'm sorry." I immediately apologized.
The other wolf then glared at me, saying. "Watch we're you going! You shouldn't be touching my precious fur!"
Taken a back, I stepped back, only to be catched by Night, who's apparently behind me. "Watch it, you're still clumsy as ever."
Nodding, I looked at the lady wolf, I just bumped to. "W-was she the new Luna?" I asked.
Following my gaze, he replied. "Yeah, how do you know?"
"W-well, she practically scolded me for bumping into her." I replied.
Chuckling, he nods. "She just seems cold but she's a good lady." He paused before taking me to his Mom.
Unable to stop him, I just found myself in front of his Luna and his Mom. "I see you're awake now, care for some breakfast, my dear?" His Mom asked.
Nodding, I peeked a glance to the new Luna, but she secretly rolled her eyes at me, and acted nice the moment Night's Mom looked at her.
Sighing, I looked down. "A-actually, I don't feel hungry, Ma'am. Can I please go out now?" I asked.
Looking at me with concerned look at her face, the old lady wolf then said. "Very well then, just come here if you happen to feel hungry, okay?"
Nodding, I said my thanks, and the moment I tried to walk out, I passed by the new Luna, and she tripped me.
