The Starlight Pack

A tall, imposing figure stood in the dimly lit throne hall of the Starlight pack’s stronghold, his hands folded against his face as he paced back and forth.

The flickering torches cast shadows on his sharp features, highlighting the rage and worry simmering beneath his cold exterior.

The air was thick with tension when suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed through the hallway.

A man rushed in, panting heavily, sweat trickling down his forehead.

“King Zeth!” he gasped.

The alpha’s piercing golden eyes snapped toward the intruder. “Where is my son?” he thundered, his deep voice reverberating through the vast chamber.

King Zeth was not known for his patience. As the leader of the strongest werewolf pack in the city, he had built his reign on fear and ruthlessness.

No one dared to defy him—except perhaps his own son, Prince Melvin, who inherited his father’s cunning and thirst for dominance.

Oliver, Melvin’s trusted friend, clenched his fists before forcing himself to speak. “We were attacked on our way back. Prince Melvin ordered me to return here and alert the warriors.”

“Attacked? By who?” Zeth’s growl sent shivers down Oliver’s spine.

“They wore the masks of the lowest-ranked pack—the same one Prince Melvin defeated last.”

Zeth’s eyes darkened, his jaw tightening. “So they dare seek revenge?”

As the discussion continued, a pair of soft footsteps approached.

The heavy wooden doors creaked open, and two women stepped inside—Queen Amora, regal and poised despite the concern on her face, and Kiara, the only daughter of the king.

Kiara, a Beta werewolf with a sharp tongue and an even sharper mind, crossed her arms.

“Father, you don’t need to be so worried. This isn’t the first time Melvin has been attacked, and it won’t be the last. He always returns in one piece.”

King Zeth’s eyes narrowed. “Kiara, you know how dangerous the human world is. What if he exposes himself?”

“I agree,” Queen Amora said. “A single mistake could reveal his identity. He shouldn’t have been in the city in the first place.”

Kiara rolled her eyes. “How about I go find him? That way, you two can stop panicking.”

Zeth studied his daughter’s confident stance. “And how do you intend to track him?”

Kiara smirked. “Father, I’m a Beta. I have the gift of scenting other werewolves. I know Melvin’s scent as well as my own. Finding him won’t be difficult.”

“It’s getting dark,” Zeth pointed out. “Are you sure you’ll be able to find him tonight?”

“She can’t,” Oliver interjected. “Tonight is the full moon, and only Alphas have the strength to endure its pull. Any other werewolf caught outside will suffer unbearable pain.”

Kiara shrugged. “Fine, I’ll wait until morning. But Oliver, you’re coming with me. You need to take me to the place where he was last seen.”

Oliver nodded. “Understood.”

Ariana’s Restless Night

The night was quiet, but Ariana couldn’t sleep. Something deep within her stirred—an unsettling pull she couldn’t ignore. Her wolf form howled inside of her, restless and unsatisfied.

She sighed, sitting up in bed. “What is wrong with me?” she muttered. “Humans have it easy. No mates, no primal instincts pulling them in random directions… I wish I could live that freely.”

Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. Her body felt wired, alert. She swung her legs over the bed and decided to take a walk through the packhouse.

As she strolled past the guest chambers, she suddenly heard a faint noise from inside the room where she had left the wounded werewolf. Her brows furrowed. Was he awake already?

Curious, she pushed the door open, only to find him standing by the window, staring outside.

The moonlight illuminated his figure, highlighting his broad shoulders and muscular frame. His long, dark hair cascaded past his shoulders—a rare sight for a man.

“Are you trying to escape?” she asked, stepping further inside.

He didn’t turn to face her. His voice was deep and firm. “I don’t need to escape. I go where I want.”

She scoffed. “Shouldn’t you at least thank the person who saved you from dying before planning your next move?”

Finally, he turned around, and she got a full view of his face. His golden eyes locked onto hers, intense and unreadable. Ariana stiffened, realizing she wasn’t wearing her mask.

His eyes narrowed slightly. “You’re a werewolf.”

She smirked. “Surprised? You shouldn’t be. And a fierce one, too. I’m not the type you want to mess with.”

His expression remained unreadable. “I didn’t think I’d find another strong werewolf in the city.”

Ariana leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “You don’t seem as powerful as you think you are. If you were, you wouldn’t have ended up nearly dead in my territory.”

His jaw clenched. “I wasn’t weak. I was outnumbered.”

“Oh, really?” She tilted her head. “Then why didn’t you teleport away?”

His eyes flashed with something unreadable. He hesitated before answering. “I was too injured.”

Ariana chuckled. “So, you do have limits.”

“I should have let you die,” she teased, watching for a reaction.

He exhaled sharply. “I can’t die.”

“An Alpha,” she noted, studying him. “Interesting. Do you think that makes you special? You’re not the only Alpha here.”

His gaze darkened. “And you think I should be afraid?”

“No, but you should understand that you’re in my territory now.” She took a step closer. “I have questions, and you will answer them.”

His lips curled into a smirk. “And what if I refuse?”

Ariana’s expression didn’t change. “Then you can leave.” She gestured toward the window. “Go ahead—step outside. It’s a full moon tonight. Let’s see how well you handle the pain.”

His smirk faltered. He knew she was right. Only Alphas had the strength to withstand the full moon’s wrath.

He wasn’t in peak condition, and he had no energy left to fight against it.

“Fine,” he muttered. “What do you want to know?”

Ariana’s voice hardened. “Which pack are you from, and what is its ranking?”

His golden eyes flickered, cautious. “Why do you need to know?”

“Because I asked.”

His mind raced. He couldn’t risk revealing the truth—not when he didn’t know if she was friend or foe.

“I don’t have a pack,” he lied smoothly. “I was born a wanderer. No siblings. No home.”

Ariana studied his face carefully, searching for any sign of deceit. But he was good—too good. His expression remained unreadable, his heartbeat steady.

She sighed, stepping back. “Useless,” she muttered under her breath. “You know nothing.”

Without another word, she turned and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

The man sat back down on the bed, exhaling.

“I hope Kiara picks up my scent,” he thought. “And comes for me soon.”

    The next morning, golden rays of sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow across the room. Ariana stirred, her eyes fluttering open as the previous night’s conversation with the mysterious stranger flooded her mind.“I thought I had found a way to uncover information about the enemy pack… but now, I have to start worrying all over again.” She sighed, rolling out of bed.Pushing aside her thoughts, she stepped into the bathroom and took a quick, refreshing shower. After drying herself off, she slipped into her usual battle attire—dark, fitted clothing that enhanced her fierce presence. Adjusting the straps on her boots, she took a deep breath and made her way to the dining hall.By the time she arrived, Ariel and Justin were already waiting for her.“Good morning, Ariana,” Ariel greeted with a warm smile.“Morning, pack princess,” Justin added with a teasing smirk.“Morning to both of you,” Ariana replied, her tone quieter than usual.Ariel frowned. “You look pale.

    “The doctor has arrived,” Ariel announced as she entered the dimly lit room, a tall man in a white coat following closely behind.Justin immediately stepped aside, allowing the doctor to examine Ariana. The air was thick with tension as the doctor checked her pulse, his fingers pressing lightly against her wrist. He then pulled out a syringe, administering a few quick injections.A soft sigh escaped Ariana’s lips, but her eyes remained closed.“She’s alright. She just needs rest,” the doctor reassured, swiftly packing his medical tools into his black leather bag.Ariel nodded and followed the doctor out, her voice carrying a confident tone. “I knew nothing serious would happen to her. She’s a strong wolf.”Justin exhaled deeply, relief washing over him. His eyes softened as he gazed at Ariana’s still form. He reached for her hand, his fingers lightly brushing against hers.“Thank goodness,” he murmured. His thumb absentmindedly traced small circles on her skin, his heart pounding at t

    Kiara leaned closer to the big wooden door, her heart pounding hard. She was curious, but she was also scared. The voices inside the room were low, almost whispers, but she could hear them clearly with her sharp werewolf ears.She knew her father’s deep, strong voice. General Steve’s rough voice mixed with his, both of them speaking seriously. They were talking about something important.Kiara held her breath and listened harder.They were planning to attack a pack.Her stomach tightened. As she focused more, their words became clearer. It didn’t take long for her to realize something shocking—they were going to destroy the very same pack she and her brother, Melvin, had just escaped from. The pack she had risked everything to save him from.Her father, the king, wanted to wipe them out.Anger and shock filled her chest. How could he be so cruel? Did he not know what she had been through? Did he not care?Her first thought was to run to the royal clinic and tell Melvin. But she stoppe

    “You know, Alpha Ariana, strength isn’t just about being stronger than your opponent,” Justin said, his voice calm but firm. He looked at her without fear, even though she was clearly upset. “It’s also about being smart, never giving up, and knowing when to use your power the right way.”Ariana’s eyebrows pulled together. She was still angry, but now she was also curious. She stepped closer to him, her fists clenched. “And what do you suggest, Justin?” she asked. “Do you have a better idea?”A small smirk appeared on Justin’s lips, and a playful light shone in his eyes. “I do,” he said, his voice teasing. “Why don’t we fight? A friendly match. Let’s see how strong you really are.”Ariana’s lips curled into a half-smile. A spark of excitement flickered inside her. “You’re on, Justin,” she said, rolling her shoulders. “Get ready to lose.”They moved to the center of the training room, facing each other. The air between them was heavy with tension, but there was also excitement.Ariana

    Melvin let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding, a genuine smile spreading across his face. He pulled Kiara into a tight embrace. “I’m glad we’re in this together,” he murmured. “No matter what comes next, we’ll handle it side by side.”Kiara patted his back lightly, then pulled away, looking up at him with a small smirk. “You’re acting like I had a choice,” she teased. “You’re my brother, Melvin. You drag me into your messes whether I want to be involved or not.”Melvin chuckled, shaking his head. “That’s not true.”Kiara crossed her arms. “Oh really? What about the time you convinced me to sneak into the royal vault when we were kids? Or when you made me distract the kitchen staff just so you could steal extra desserts?”“That was years ago,” Melvin defended, grinning. “Besides, we didn’t get caught, did we?”Kiara raised an eyebrow. “That’s because I covered for you!”Melvin laughed, throwing an arm over her shoulder. “See? That’s why we make a great team. I get us into

    “Ariana, slow down, or you’re going to choke on that sandwich,” Justin smirked, arms crossed as he watched her eat.Ariana paused, slightly embarrassed, and quickly wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. She shot him a playful glare before looking up at him through her lashes, her blue eyes glimmering under the soft light.For a moment, they just stared at each other. Then, as if on cue, they both burst into laughter.Justin’s laughter died down quickly, but Ariana kept giggling, completely oblivious to how intently he was watching her. His gaze never wavered, following the way her shoulders shook, how her head tilted slightly back as she laughed freely.Justin had known Ariana his entire life. They had been inseparable since childhood, their bond forged through years of training, shared mischief, and battles fought side by side. Sometimes, people mistook them for siblings. Others assumed they were lovers. Neither was true.Ariana’s father, Alpha Jeffrey, had tried more than once

    Ariana walked into her father’s room without knocking, as she always did, despite his repeated warnings.“Ariana! How many times have I told you to—”“Knock before entering,” she interrupted with a smirk, her voice dripping with playful defiance. “I know, Dad, but I enjoy barging in like this.”She stepped away from the door and pulled off her mask, shaking her head slightly to let her long, dark hair fall freely over her shoulders. The dim glow of the room’s fireplace cast flickering shadows over her sharp features, emphasizing the fierce determination in her eyes.No one had ever seen her face except for her father and Justin. Outside the walls of their pack, she was known only as the masked warrior—an enigma, a ghost, a legend whispered about in fear.Mr. Jeffrey sighed, running a tired hand through his graying hair. His once-powerful frame, still strong but weighed down by the years and losses, sagged slightly as he patted the seat beside him. “Come sit here.”Without hesitation,

    Ariana arrived at the lush meadow, the place she always retreated to whenever she felt lonely or needed a moment of solitude. It was a hidden paradise she had discovered as a child, but she had never dared to tell her father about it, knowing he would forbid her from coming. That was why she had insisted on living in the city—so she could always slip away to this secret haven.Stepping onto the soft grass, she inhaled deeply, letting the crisp scent of flowers and fresh earth fill her lungs. The gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze felt like a familiar lullaby, comforting and calming.“I missed this,” she murmured to herself. “The scent of the flowers, the cool air, the dancing trees…”Ariana reached for the sword strapped to her back and drew it with a practiced motion. The blade gleamed under the moonlight as she took a deep breath, steadying herself before launching into a series of swift, precise movements. She swung the sword to her left, then to her right, slicing through
