Kael’s POV

The hunter’s camp was a fortress, high fences, armed hunters patrolling every corner, and scent-masking spells that made tracking almost impossible.

But I had one advantage.

They weren’t expecting me.

I had escaped the previous time but couldn't escape with Elara. I wondered what Raven would do to her.

Moving through the shadows, I pressed my back against a wooden post, my sharp ears picking up the distant conversation between two guards. They were laughing, talking about the Lunar Alpha who had been captured tonight.

I already knew who it was.

Elara.

I clenched my fists. I was too late to stop them from taking her, but I wasn’t too late to get her out.

Through the gaps in the tents, I spotted her—caged, chained in silver, yet still defiant.

A mix of pride and frustration burned through me. She was strong, but damn reckless.

I took a deep breath, suppressing my anger. Now wasn’t the time.

I had to get her out.

Slipping past two more hunters, I reached the cage.

    Luca’s POVI went back to fulfill my mission.I stood in the center of the council chamber, surrounded by cold, unyielding stares. My fists clenched at my sides, frustration burning in my chest. They didn’t see a reason. They didn’t want to.“You deceived us, Luca,” Elden said, his voice sharp with authority. “You took control of the First Clan and concealed the killer in your midst.”I grit my teeth. “I didn’t take anything. The First Clan was in ruins. Our people were scattered, hunted like prey. I stepped up because someone had to. Dorian was trying to attack me too.”He scoffed. “And yet, you conveniently withheld that Elara, accused of murdering one of our own, was under your protection. Tell me, Luca, what else have you been hiding?”The weight of their accusations pressed down on me, but I refused to bow beneath it.“This is ridiculous,” I snapped. “You think I want power? That I’m trying to dominate the First Clan?” I took a step forward, locking eyes with Elden. “I have foug

    lara’s POVThe air inside the council chamber was thick with tension. The Elders sat in a perfect semicircle, their faces impassive as they regarded me. Some had expressions of doubt, others of intrigue, but none of them were ready to accept me without proof.I stood tall, my chin raised, despite the weight of their scrutiny.“You claim to be the Lunar Alpha,” said Elder Cassius, his silver beard flowing down his chest as he observed me with piercing eyes. “Yet, a title is meaningless without power to uphold it.”I clenched my fists at my sides, fighting the urge to growl. “I don’t just claim it. I am the Lunar Alpha.”Some of the Elders scoffed.“Then prove it,” Elder Mara said, her voice sharp. “You must pass the Three Trials—the same trials faced by every Lunar Alpha before you.”Whispers spread through the chamber. The Three Trials were legendary—only those destined to rule had ever succeeded.Kael stiffened beside me, his hand instinctively resting on his sword. He knew the dange

    Luca’s POVThe air was thick with the scent of war, smoke, steel, and bloodlust.The clans had mobilized. Warriors trained harder, fortifying their defenses, sharpening weapons, and reinforcing the borders. The First Clan stood at the center, becoming the stronghold where strategies were formed.Yet, despite all of this, my name was being dragged through the dirt.I could hear the whispers—the rumors that spread like wildfire."Luca hid the truth.""He protected Elara after she killed one of his pack.""Can he still be trusted?"The accusations burned deep, but I did not let them show. I had learned long ago that weakness was a dangerous thing to expose—especially in times of war.So, I pushed forward.We had found more survivors—wolves who had escaped the hunters' attacks but had nowhere to go. They were wounded, starving, and desperate for safety.I stood at the entrance of the First Clan’s territory as Kael and a group of warriors returned with a small band of these survivors. Thei

She was a warrior, a leader, a survivor.And now, my mentor.She had returned from the shadows to prepare me for what was coming, and I could feel the weight of that responsibility pressing down on me.“Again,” she commanded, her voice firm.I gritted my teeth and launched forward, shifting mid-air into my wolf form. My claws dug into the earth as I lunged toward her, but she sidestepped with ease, her own transformation just as fluid.We clashed. Claw against claw. Teeth against teeth.She was faster, but I was stronge

But despite how tired I was, sleep refused to come.The events of the day kept replaying in my mind. The way the hunters had stormed the territory, the raw power that had surged through me under the full moon, the look on the Elders’ faces when they realized what I was capable of.I had won.But at what cost?My control over my abilities was still fragile. The energy I had unleashed had been powerful—too powerful. It felt like something ancient, something deep within me awakening for the first time. I could still feel the echo of that strength humming beneath my skin.I wasn’t sure if that should comfort me or terrify me.Tomorrow, I would go before the Elders and declare my readiness to face the Three Quests. These trials were meant to test not only my strength but also my mind, my spirit,
