Delilah's P.O.V.

After school was finally over, I decided to go to Zombietown for a bit. Also, I had to pick out my dress for the Prawn and I went to the store that was doing that.

I walked through the door and saw some girls already here for their dresses and stuff. I walked until I got to where I needed and looked through the dresses.

That was until a particular dress caught my eye. It was beautiful because it was a stormy green/gray color and it was floor-length with designs on the top of it. I took it from the hanger and went to one of the changing rooms.

I changed out of my outfit and put the dress on. Looking in the mirror, I smiled at the fit. It was perfect and just the right one. However, I would add my own twist to it soon.

I noticed a piece of my white hair sticking out and gasped, going to cover it up until I felt something inside me telling me not to. I didn't notice my hand going to the base of my wig and pull it off until my radiant, white hair came down.

I touched the strand of my hair and smiled. This was who I was, but for so long, I had to hide who I was because I would get beaten for having it out.

I quickly put my wig back on. Once I made sure it was good, I changed out of the dress and back to my clothes, I paid for the dress. Next, I left the small shop and found the werewolves at a table. I smiled as I saw my mates there.

I saw Wyatt's head perk up and he turned around, his eyes lighting up as he saw me. He got Willa and Wynter's attention. They all turned their attention to me and I could see the love and admiration in their eyes. He walked up to me and kissed my cheek, making me giggle and blush.

"Hey, babe." he greeted. He looked at my bag and curiosity filled his face. "What's that?"

"My dress for Prawn in a couple days." I replied.

His eyebrowd furrowed. "What's Prawn?"

I laughed. "It's like prom, but Seabrook themed. It's where people go and have fun. We dance and couples can go as well."

He nodded before holding my hand.

"What brings you here?" I asked. "We're trying to find out where the moonstone is with these ridiculous history books." he replied.

"Let me guess, they talk about werewolves being bloodthirsty, murderous, man-killing beasts?" I asked.

He nodded with a whine. I placed a hand on my mate's shoulder. "Well, guess what? They're wrong. I trust you guys completely."

Wyatt smiled before placing his arm around my waist. "I appreciate that. Thanks for being gracious about us."

"Can I join you guys?" I asked. "You don't have to ask."

He led me to where the rest were and my female mates looked at me with smiles. I kissed their cheeks before Wyatt pulled me into his lap.

"Useless! None of these history books say where the moonstone is hidden." Willa said, slamming a book shut. I lay my head on Wyatt's shoulder.

At the corner of my eye, I saw Zed and Eliza walk up to us. He began embarrassing himself big time and I felt awkward.

I also noticed him glaring at Wyatt when his hand went around my waist and lay on my stomach. I was so deep in thought as to why Zed was glaring at my mates for being with me. It was then I saw Willa stand up.

"We're nothing like you zombies." she told them.

"You sort of are. Your necklace is powered, right? Kind of like an organic Z-band?" Eliza asked.

I saw my mate give a nod of agreement. "You're smarter than he looks." she referred the last part to my best friend.

"Thanks." Eliza said with a smile.

"So, this thing keeps you from fully wolfing out?" Zed asked, reaching to touch Willa's necklace, but she slapped his hand away.

"The opposite." she corrected him. "Our moonstones help make us our true werewolf selves."

Zed was the next to talk. "So, without it, you'd be human?"

"No. We'd die. We'd be nothing." Willa explained.

"Imagine how alive you'd feel if you didn't have to tamp things down. Hold back your true selves." Wyatt said, tightening his grip on my waist.

Eliza was the next to speak up. "Actually, I've got this theory that zombies might've evolved beyond their Z-bands."

However, Zed cut her off by embarrassing himself again. "No, Z-bands are great! They help you fit in. And I think you guys would have a better time at Seabrook if you followed our footsteps. Join a club, play football, I'll even teach you how to tackle." He pointed the last part mostly to Wynter.

I could feel my mates' annoyance from Zed.

"Zed, please, just stop." I told him. "It was a bit too much."

The wolves got up and started walking away and I did the same, holding onto Wyatt's hand, my bag in the other.

Zed: Do it like the zombies do
Brush your fangs when you wake up
Comb your hair, do your make up
Sleep at night, don't stay up
Do it like the zombies do
Don't stand out when you're fittin' in
When in doubt, do the opposite

Wyatt: Don't listen to him

Willa: He's a hypocrite

Zombies: Do it like the zombies do
All you got do is give an inch, then we gon' take it to the top
Do it like the zombies do

Willa: When the moon is full, no howling (awoo)

Wyatt: Don't run in the halls, no growling (grr)

Willa: Let's go to the mall, start styling (yeah)

Both: Do it like the zombies do (do it)

Willa: Trim your claws, get a manicure

Wyatt: Cut your bangs, leave it on the floor (woo)

Wynter: Now wag your tail like a labrador

All: Do it like zombies do
All you got do is give an inch then we gon' take it to the top
Do it like the zombies do, don't stop (do it)

Zed: Stand up, stand up, stand up straight, do your homework
Smile a lot when you network
Did I mention no one gets hurt? (No, no, no)
Do it like the zombies do
I hope you're open to my advice

Willa: Oh, it's invaluable to us, right?

Wyatt: Huh, sounds like this could be a paradise

All: Do it like the zombies do

Willa: Why should we change?
They should be like us
Yeah, he may eat brains, but he's got no guts

Wyatt: He's gone insane, yeah, he's acting nuts
Come on, we've got moves to bust (woah)

All: All you got do is give an inch then we gon' take it to the top
Do it like the zombies do, don't stop
Do it like the zombies do

Wynter ran and tackled Zed, making the werewolves, even me laugh. She howled, which made the others howl as well.

Laughing, I went to Zed and knelt down beside him to check on him. He looked at me all disoriented. I placed my hand on his chest, then his forehead, and I swore I heard Wyatt growl possessively.

"I think you hit your head bad." I told him.

He blinked a couple times. "What's that, Coach?"

I looked up at a proud Wynter. "Yep. You definitely hit your head."

I looked at my mates and they smirked before I sighed. "I'm going to take him home. I'll see you in the forest later."

Willa came over and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "Okay. If you get lost, just yell our names and we'll find you."

I smiled and nodded before Wynter and Wyatt came over, doing the same thing. The wolves all followed their alpha before I helped Zed up.

"I got you, bud." I told him as he leaned against me.
