Summary
“You,” Weiss let out a resigned sigh as she pinched the bridge of her nose, “are a reckless idiot, moonlight.”
A low rumbling whine echoed through the cave they had found themselves in, coming from the giant wolf creature sitting with her head tucked down and ears drooping like a scorned pup. With an array of arrows jutting out from her back like she was doing her best impression of a porcupine.
Silver arrows. Weiss could still pick up on the faint sizzling with her sensitive hearing, could smell the damp blood seeping from her partner’s wounds. A faint pressure at her fangs made for an uncomfortable experience, but she had long since learned how to retain the hunger that came with her vampiric curse.
Besides, werewolf blood was foul.
"You know I'm going to have to take those out."

Summary
“One day, the moon will call for you, my little pup. And you won’t be able to resist its pull."
Ruby, so young and incapable of understanding the reality of what it means to be a werewolf, can only stare up at her mother where she lays curled up in the space of her arms.
“But don’t be afraid.” Summer brushes a finger down the bridge of her nose, succeeding in making her give up the fight of trying to keep her eyes open. Ruby curls up closer to her with a pleased sound, nuzzling into her chest as her mother swaddles her protectively. “I’ll be here to help you through it, my pup. We all will.”
On the ushering hands of sleep, consciousness starts to fade bit by bit. Like droplets of rain kissing her skin. Like sparks of her mother’s magic whenever she puts on a light show for them.
(Like blood spilling from an open wound. Bit by bit by bit.)
The last thing she hears is an unwavering promise;
“You won’t ever be alone, my rosebud. Not if I can help it.”
...
Her mother had been right about two things at least. Ruby isn't able to resist the call of the moon...
And she isn't alone to have to deal through it.
Because she has Weiss there with her the entire time.
