Wolves were howling, people were cheering, and the atmosphere was filled with a euphoria that was new to me. In the midst of everything, I was amazed to stand next to the majestic White Stag, still in awe of the recent events.Zara came closer, her typically serious expression now showing a hint of admiration. She halted a short distance from me, alternating her gaze between myself and the White Stag."Luna Lyra," she exclaimed, her voice traveling through the clearing and quieting the audience. I have to confess, I had some skepticism about you. Numerous uncertainties.I aligned my back, looking directly into her eyes without wavering. I am aware that you did it, Elder Zara. And I don't hold you accountable for that.Zara's lips were tugged by a slight smile. "No, I guess you wouldn't." You

Chapter: Chapter 74: "The Final Test"LyraI slowly woke up, feeling like I had been run over by a truck, my body in pain. Sunlight flowed in through a window close by, heating up my face. I lay there for a moment, attempting to figure out what had occurred.The cavern. Kieran's name was uttered. The anger that had taken over me...I jolted awake, my heart pounding."Take it easy," a voice that was recognizable whispered gently. "You are out of danger."I looked over and noticed Gabriel by the bed, with dark circles under his eyes indicating that he hadn't slept. I felt relieved when I saw him, but then uncertainty crept in."Is that Gabriel?" I spoke softly, my voice rough. "Is it truly you now?"Understanding and pain softened his facial expression. "It's I, my darling. "My true self."I extended my hand cautiously, anticipating it might g

The familiar smell of pine and dirt entered my nose, connecting me to the earth."I murmured, just a dream, but the words lacked substance."The recent happenings kept playing over in my head like a distorted film. Gabriel's act of betrayal, the ensuing battle, and my eventual triumph all felt incredibly unreal.I lifted myself up, grimacing at the imaginary pain in my side caused by Gabriel's claws. However, upon checking, there was no visible injury. No mark. No changes."What on earth?"I spun around, ready for a confrontation, as a twig broke close by. Kieran appeared from the darkness, his emerald eyes shining in the moon's glow."Take it easy, Luna," he said, with his hands up. "I a

Chapter: Chapter 72: "The Reckoning"LyraThe forest was eerily silent as I stood before the assembled pack. A combination of confusion, concern, and curiosity was evident on the faces that looked up at me. I inhaled deeply, preparing myself for the words I was about to speak."Dear fellow wolves," I started, my voice projecting more confidence than I truly possessed, "today I have somber news to share. "We have been deceived."A quiet sound spread through the audience. I witnessed Zara's eyes narrowing and her body becoming tense.I kept talking, the words tasting like ash in my mouth, about how Gabriel, our Alpha, had betrayed us. "Opposed to me."The quiet murmuring transformed into a loud roar. Disbelief, rage, and dread combined in the atmosphere like a poisonous mist."Someone exclaimed that it couldn't be done!" Gabriel would never..."I witnessed it mys

Chapter: Chapter 71 The BetrayalLyraThis morning, the forest was more silent than typical. The birds appeared reluctant to disturb the unsettling stillness. I moved stealthily through the thick vegetation, ready for anything. I sensed something was wrong, but I couldn't quite pinpoint it."I said to myself that you're being paranoid, attempting to rid myself of the sense of unease."There was a snapping sound of a twig from behind me. I spun around, my heart racing, and caught sight of Gabriel coming out from the darkness."Gabe!" I took a breath, feeling relieved. "You frightened me so much I thought I was going to die."Although he smiled, his eyes did not reflect the same happiness. I apologize, my dear. I didn't intend to scare you.I observed his facial expressions, noticing the tightness in his jaw and the faint crease in his forehead. "Are all things right?"&nb

Each time a twig snapped, I jumped, every rustle of leaves made me search the shadows. The search had been happening for hours, but I was still no closer to locating my target than I was at the beginning."I whispered in defeat, leaning against a tree trunk." I will never succeed at this."You won't succeed with that mindset," a voice said from above me.I suddenly sat up, my heart racing. Sitting on a branch like a large bird was a stranger I didn't recognize. His teeth stood out in stark contrast against his tanned skin as he smiled down at me."What is your identity?" I asked firmly, attempting to control the shake in my voice. "You are not a member of our group."The unknown individual descended from the tree, landing with the agility of a cat. "

I am new to this werewolf thing, and I don't know what I should do, and I am afraid if he had seen me devoured my meal for the day, and I am just thankful, I have already eaten, or else I could have attacked him already.He looked intrigued, and the smile that I saw on his face was very comforting that I wanted to be in his arms. I could tell he was older than my father, and what fascinated me was he was wearing a suit early morning inside the forest, and I wondered if he could be Oliver's friend and if he was living on the other side of the mountain."Hello, my dear, how are you this morning?" He asked, and even his voice was soothing to my ears."Who are you?" I asked him with apprehension in my voice."Oh, I am sorry, I forgot my manners; I am Noel, and I am one of Oliver's friends.

I took a deep sigh of relief, but I am still anxious where Victoria could be."Good morning, Oliver!" Carrie greeted me with a broad grin on her face, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling back at her, she has been my helper for so many years now, and even if she is a human, I find her reliable, and I trusted her."Are you looking for your beautiful girlfriend?"

I had only eaten one meal yesterday, and right now, I could hear the outcry of animals calling for me.I sat on the bed and leaned my back on the headboard, and I realized I was fully naked, but I couldn't feel the cold of Oliver's room even if the AC was blasting with cold air; I got up and opened the closet, and I was shocked to find gorgeous woman's wardrobe, and as I inhaled the fabric I could tell the clothes in the hanger are all new according to my taste.

I know she wanted to show me she is still upset with me, but I made her understand it was for her own good, and I don't need to keep her blind anymore; I need to tell her about the possibility that she was a hybrid.I cook for Victoria, hoping she will stop her craving for fresh meat, but I know she is still under the goddess curse, which is the craving for raw meat after the transition. For others, it will last for one month, and I know hunting animals for food will never make her happy unless she had learned to hunt at an early age, and her ignorance about who she is made her so different from all of us. She turned at the age of eighteen while most of us will turn between eleven to fourteen years old."When w

I am aware that you have so many questions, and you need answers, and I will try my best to make you understand what is going on with you as of the moment." Oliver said while he took my hand."Your transition was successful because you turned into a werewolf, and you were able to shift back into your human form, and I felt glad you didn't find it hard on your part to return to your original shape," Oliver added."I already told you about who I am when you were in your wolf form, but it seems like you were too angry with me to remember everything I said back then. Werewolves shift at an early age, and in your case is an exception, and that is why many believed you were something different because this only happened
