Alex Pov
I stand in the woods with my head held high and closing my bloodred eyes. All my other senses seem to heighten with me closing my eyes; my second most used sense. The sound of rain pattering on the leaves above my head makes me smile with a new-found peace. I haven't been this calm in a couple of decades. I revel in using all of my senses; the smell of wet earth and rain, the continuous sound of the rain and the noise that comes from being in the woods, when standing in the woods my mind reminds me of the taste of moonberries that I picked on my first to earth. I feel a hand on my shoulder and I open my eyes while smiling at my dear friend. "You seem a little too quiet for my liking, it's like someone cut out your tongue or something," I roll my eyes at Derek, as if someone would try and cut out my tongue, they would be on the receiving end of Derek's masterful swordsmanship and possibly end up engulfed in flames by me. I walk with Derek by my side, the animals seem to perk up in our presence and walk over to us, even a small snake no bigger then my hand slithered over. How adorable, yeah I might be from hell but I find things cute... especially my marked one, his wolf is adorable! "Alex... you seem to have a little something on your shoulder," I tilt my head to the side before I realise he means I have a little squirrel sitting on my shoulder, now trying to make its way into my red hair. It sniffs my ear before I start laughing at the little creature tickling me. As soon as I laughed it jumped off my shoulder onto a tree branch that seemed like it could grab someone, creepy tree. Every tree is tall and proud, sort of like they're soldiers lined up for their roll call, small bushes cluster together by a small pond. The bushes have little silver berries that glow in the sunlight but would look far more spectacular on a full moon, "Alex, I've never seen berries like that before," I look at him before shaking my head with a smile. "My dear Derek, those are moonberries, they are known as that name because Luna the moon goddess tends these plants in every forest. Only special members in a pack of werewolves or princes are allowed to see them," his eyes sparkle with wonder at the small bushes. We start walking towards the spectacular fruit with Derek probably fighting the urge to shift but since he is a white wolf he can stop himself from losing control. By one bush I see someone id rather never see again... my father... he is a tyrant king and father.
Bonus parts are not relevant to the storyline but the aspects in it like moon berries and their background are very relevant. Basically they're little sweet parts with tons of information if you read them right. Just they're not part of the actual story. Hope that makes sense
