## Biography

### Early life

Luna was born a werewolf, along with Harlan, though they've lived a mostly human life. They've always suspected that they were abandoned by their biological father shortly after birth. And following an unusually gruesome forest fire, they were discovered and subsequently adopted by Garrett, who initially believed them to be stray wolf cubs due to being in wolf form when he found them. In contrast to Harlan, she has accepted Garrett as her father, but has always struggled to make friends, however.

### Forming a pack

Luna arrives at a nightclub in search of Harlan, whose help she needs to find their possibly missing father. Notably, their abilities seem to be more heightened than they had ever been before, even on a full moon. After getting word that his truck was found damaged, the two of them make their way to the scene, where they discover that a large set of claws destroyed the driver's side of his park ranger vehicle. They begin to suspect that perhaps their real father has returned, but Luna is hesitant to embrace the very same man who abandoned them. With Garrett still missing, they continue the search, but the fire is overwhelming their abilities. Suddenly, Luna and Harlan's eyes roll into the back of their heads, and they feel themselves being drawn to a clearing, where they come across Everett and Blake, revealing to them that they're werewolves.

Luna and Harlan drive Everett and Blake home, during which point, Luna asks why they were in the woods and if they were bitten. Much like the twins, they heard a howl that drew them to that clearing. Once home, they're questioned by Prisha, though they maintain that they don't know why Everett and Blake were in the woods. After she leaves, Luna and Harlan argue on whether they should help Everett and Blake, with Luna suggesting they should, given that they all share the same secret. A couple of days later, Luna plans to go after their father herself, but Harlan takes the car keys, leaving her at the house alone. That night, as the moon rises, Luna texts Harlan that she feels different and that something's happening to her. Even stranger, she hallucinates a white horse kicking down their front door. But after regaining her grip on reality, Luna sees that that Harlan has texted back saying their dad was found. So they race to the hospital, where he is being wheeled in, though they are then approached by Officer Jang.

Luna, Harlan, Everett, and Blake are taken in for questioning, but before she can be questioned, their father arrives to bring them home, but not before Luna reveals to him that Everett and Blake are also werewolves. Once home, Luna explains to their father that they all could hear each other, as if they were sharing Harlan's ability, likely due to the fact that they're connected as a pack. After their father leaves to check on Phoebe, whose car tires were slashed, the pack shares Luna's sense of smell, as they all simultaneously smell the scent of acid, which means anger. On the other side of the door is Officer Miller, who claims that he only came to talk, but when Harlan goes out of the porch, he slams Harlan's face against the wall. Luna then calls their father, but Harlan comes back inside to reveal that the werewolf took Officer Miller. With their dad on the phone, he instructs them to get the rifle from the barn. There, Luna hallucinates a horse whilst Harlan retrieves the rifle, and to both of their surprise, silver bullets, which Harlan uses to chase the werewolf off after it confronts Everett. They then confront their father, who confesses to crafting the silver bullets to kill them.

### Haunted by her past

Luna continues to be haunted by her past, looking out her bedroom window and seeing her younger self covered in blood. The following day, she asks Harlan about the night they crossed paths with Everett and Blake in the woods and what he remembers of it, because she remembers very little. Her heart then begins to beat fast whilst Harlan's hand shakes, leading them to realize that something is wrong with Everett, who they find in the restroom having a panic attack. This leads to an altercation with Harlan and results in his fangs coming out. Despite Luna wanting to explore their connection further, they decide it is best if they keep their distance from each other. Luna is then approached by Austin, who asks her to draw the beast he saw on the highway. She does so and warns him to run if he encounters it again. After Austin leaves, Luna retreats to the barn, where she recalls with one full moon night from years ago when she turned and clawed her horse, Thunder, to death. Later that night, Luna and Harlan come running to the parking garage where Blake works after hearing her howl.

The pack gathers at Everett's before heading to the scene of the latest attack, as directed by the unknown caller. Unfortunately, they are unable to save Nurse Hughes and decides that it's up to them to stop the werewolf before its next attack, which they learn will be during Tia's kickback. There, Luna attempts to talk with Austin, but his immaturity makes it difficult. However, she feels herself drawn to him after hearing him play the piano, though this comes to an abrupt end after he taunts Phoebe and the werewolf attacks the party.

### Growing closer to Austin

The following day, after leaving the party, the pack convenes in the barn, where Harlan reveals that Cyrus has been getting calls from the same guy as them, claiming that his father didn't die in a fire. This leads them to Malcolm, the only survivor from the hotshot crew with Cyrus' dad. From Malcolm, Luna and Harlan learn that their mother was killed by the hotshot crew and that their father killed the crew in retaliation. However, from Garrett, they learn that it's not their biological father whose killing people, rather it's their brother.

After failing to convince her father to focus on Baron and his missing victims, Luna calls Austin over to reveal that he is the werewolf's next target and to discuss using him as bait to lure the werewolf into a trap. Austin agrees and then asks if she likes him. Luna admits that she does, but only when he's not a complete asshole. That night, Luna leads Austin to the rooftop, where they wait for the werewolf to arrive. When it does, it's hesitant to attack due to Luna's presence. It must first see him as a threat, so Luna instructs Austin to hit her, but he's reluctant to do so, even as Luna slaps him multiple times. Instead, he kisses her. However, this seems to have invoked the intended response in the werewolf, who chases after them as they lead it to the freezer and lock it inside, slowing down the werewolf's heart and returning it to human form, at which point, Austin stabs Baron in the chest with a silver coated knife.

After leaving Baron at Everett's to rest, Luna and Harlan are taken down to the police station for questioning. But first, Ramsey gives Harlan fives minutes alone with Cyrus. To Luna's surprise, she overhears Harlan's conversation with Cyrus due to the white noise machine in Ramsey's office, which she alerts Harlan of as they're leaving, during which point, they also find and listen to the recording their father made when he was trapped in the fire, bringing tears to their eyes and leading them to tell him the truth about Baron. With their father, they return to Everett's to pick up Baron and take him to the hospital, where Luna says that there is no pack and that there never was.
