When everything seemed to be calming down, the emergency bell suddenly rang. Altair and Stella ran straight to the main courtyard, where the warriors had gathered."What's wrong?" asked Altair in a loud voice.One of the warriors replied, "We found a trail of rogues near the border! The numbers are small, but they're moving fast."Altair clenched his fist. "Prepare the team. We can't let them go any further."Stella interjected, "I'll come with you."Altair nodded, and the two of them immediately led the warriors towards the border.Upon arriving there, they found five rogues lurking. Altair instantly transformed into his great white wolf, leading the charge without hesitation. Stella followed behind him, making sure none of the enemies escaped.The battle was short but intense. The rogues seemed well-trained, but Altair and Stella's power as Alphas was too much to resist.When it was all over, Altair stood in the center of the battlefield, his body riddled with minor wounds that soon
The sky was beginning to turn golden when Lyra arrived at the courtyard of Altair's pack. Her steps were soft, but every movement exuded an authority that made everyone around fall silent. The pack members who happened to be on the move stopped for a moment, paying their respects to the old woman.However, Lyra's attention was only on one thing: her granddaughter, Enne.Enne, who was sitting on the veranda with Stella, immediately got up upon seeing the figure she missed so much. Her eyes widened, her breath caught, and without thinking, she ran to Lyra."Grandma!" she exclaimed in a voice full of emotion.Lyra smiled gently, opening her arms to welcome Enne's embrace. When her grandson's tiny body landed in her arms, Lyra stroked Enne's hair with deep affection."I'm back, my dear," Lyra said, her voice full of warmth.Enne hugged her tightly, as if he didn't want to let go. Tears streamed down her cheeks. "I missed you so much, Gran. I... I was afraid something would happen to you t
The morning sun had just revealed itself, illuminating the forest that seemed to have just awakened from the darkness of the night. Dew still hung on the leaves, reflecting the sunlight in golden colors. In one corner of the pack, Altair was standing by a small stream, his eyes fixed on the frozen water.He seemed lost in thought, thinking about something that was difficult to put into words. Feelings of guilt and doubt were slowly eating away at him, especially after all the events involving the man named Andhara and the past that came back to haunt him.Soft steps could be heard approaching him. Without turning his head, Altair knew who was coming."Altair," Enne's soft voice broke the silence.Altair turned his head slowly, his gaze soft but thoughtful. "Are you awake?"Enne nodded, then stood beside him. He looked at the same object, but his mind drifted elsewhere. After a while, she finally said, "I'm still thinking about what I saw... in Andhara's mind."Altair furrowed his brow
The morning breeze slipped through the open window, carrying the cold scent of the snow-drenched forest. Enne sat on the edge of the balcony of the main house, letting the cold gusts of air tickle his skin. Although this morning looked so peaceful, his mind was far from calm.Over the past three days, the atmosphere in the pack had changed. The members treated Enne with a different kind of respect. The omegas were busy planning the inauguration, the warriors were watching her movements more closely, and even the pack kids were running up to her, calling out to her in respectful tones."Luna," they said, small voices full of awe.Enne smiled at them, but the smile never reached her eyes. Her heart sank into an increasingly suffocating indecision. Lynx, her inner wolf, tried to soothe her from within, but even Lynx's soft voice was not enough to dispel the heavy feeling weighing Enne down."All of this is natural. You are the Moon Goddess' choice, Enne. Believe in yourself," Lynx whispe
The forest that night was filled with the soft light of the full moon, its rays piercing the leaves and creating a silvery glow on the ground. The entire Altair pack was busy preparing for the grand ceremony to adopt Enne as Luna. This was not just a tradition, but an official recognition that Enne was now the Alpha's mate, she would be responsible for the welfare and future of the entire pack.Enne stood in a small room filled with the scent of wildflowers and spices. Stella was busy helping to put Luna's traditional robes on her. The robe was long, made of white silk with gold embroidery in the shape of a crescent moon and a wolf on the edges. Enne looked nervous. She had never been the center of attention like this before, let alone in such an important situation."Enne, you need to stand straighter," Stella said with a smile, tugging gently on the collar of the robe to make it look neat. "You're going to be Luna, the symbol of strength and hope for the entire pack. Don't let them
That morning, the warm sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the leaves, creating a golden glow along the forest floor. The atmosphere inside the Altair pack headquarters was peaceful, but the tension behind the calm was palpable. The pack members had just finished with the big celebration that celebrated Enne's appointment as their Luna. However, behind the smiles and friendly shoulder taps, there were doubts, questions, and faint whispers about the future.Inside Lyra's private room, the atmosphere was much more serious. Lyra, with a stern look and eyes full of wisdom, sat on a wooden chair. Her hand was clutching an old scroll, which seemed to have come a long way. In front of her, Altair stood tall, but his face showed deep curiosity."You wanted to talk to me this early in the morning, Lyra?" Altair opened the conversation, his voice firm yet polite.Lyra nodded slowly. "There is something you need to know, Altair. I've kept it to myself for too long, but I feel it's time."A
Enne stood by the large window, looking out at the forest that was beginning to turn its snow-white color into fresh green. Spring had come to replace the long, harsh winter, but in Enne's heart, a new season could not dispel the doubts that continued to haunt him.The snow had melted, paving the way for green shoots to emerge from the frozen ground. However, Enne felt like the ground beneath her feet was still fragile, like it might collapse at any moment. He thought of his mother, Ingrid, who lived in a small town far from here."Mom," Enne murmured softly, feeling the warmth of the call flow through her. Her mother had raised her alone, never knowing that the bigger world-the werewolf world-was Enne's new home.As a child, Enne often felt different. He wasn't like other children who played freely and laughed carefree. From an early age, Enne knew that there was something else inside him. The voices in other people's heads sometimes echoed in her mind, like whispers that couldn't be
Ingrid sat on a wooden chair by her kitchen window, looking out with a questioning expression. She had long known her daughter, Enne, to be secretive and mysterious. However, ever since the arrival of Altair-who she had been vaguely introduced to in the past-Ingrid felt that there was something more going on than just a casual visit.Enne stood at the side of the kitchen table, biting her lower lip while occasionally glancing at Altair who sat quietly. The man, though seemingly relaxed, carried an air of authority that was hard to ignore. Ingrid let out a long breath before finally straightening up and looking at the two seriously."Enne," she said slowly, "I knew you wouldn't come this far for no reason. What exactly is going on?"Enne swallowed, feeling her heart beating faster than usual. She knew this conversation would not be easy. On the one hand, she wanted to protect her mother from a world full of danger, but on the other hand, Ingrid had a right to know."There's something w
The morning sky stretched over the village, its orange tinge fading into a soft blue as the sun rose slowly from the horizon. However, for Enne, this morning was not as bright as it should have been. His mind was still in turmoil, raging with questions that never found answers. Lynx... She was sure she heard her inner wolf's voice, but it was only for a brief moment.Currently, she stood by the window of her room, staring out blankly. A gentle breeze blew against her skin, but it was not enough to dispel the uneasiness that ruled her chest."Still thinking about it?"Altair's deep, calm voice broke her reverie. He had just finished putting on a shirt, his black hair still a little messy after waking up. His gaze was sharp yet gentle as he approached and stood behind Enne, both hands resting on his waist.Enne sighed. "I'm sure I heard Lynx, but when I tried to talk to him... like before, he disappeared again."Altair stared at Enne's reflection in the window glass. "Maybe he needs mor
As they walked towards the dining room, Enne couldn't shake off her uneasiness. Not only because Stella would definitely tease her again to no end, but also because of the strange feeling that had been lingering in her mind since this morning. Lynx briefly called out her name, but then went silent again.He glanced at Altair, who was walking leisurely beside him. The man looked as he always did-cold, calm, and in control. But there was something in the way he held her hand that felt different. Tighter, as if to ensure that he was there.Once they arrived at the dining room, Stella was waiting with a meaningful expression."Good morning, new couple," Stella greeted in a teasing tone.Enne immediately felt his face heat up, while Altair only gave a small snort before sitting down in his chair.Stella chuckled, her eyes twinkling with satisfaction. "Why is your face red, Enne? Ah, aren't you still tired from last night's practice?"Enne almost choked on the water she had just drunk. "Ste
That morning, the sun filtered in through the gap in the curtains, illuminating the room with a soft golden light. The morning air was still cool, even though winter had already passed. Enne sat on the side of the bed, his fingers playing with the ends of the thin scarf wrapped around his neck. It was not his habit to wear a scarf indoors, but this time he felt he needed it.Meanwhile, Altair was still lying on the bed, one arm bent behind his head, his eyes watching Enne with his usual relaxed expression. He could feel the subtle tension from the girl, especially after the night they had spent together. Altair did not regret it-not in the slightest. In fact, this was something that should have happened a long time ago.However, before they could talk further, the door to the room opened without warning."Good morning, new couple!" Stella appeared with leisurely steps, a meaningful smile etched on her face. "How did you sleep last night? Good?"Enne was shocked to death and almost jum
The training between Enne and Altair that was originally meant to be a simple training session slowly turned into something more than just physical exercise. The quiet night, lit by the faint moonlight, created an intimate atmosphere between them. Their breathing was ragged, not just from exhaustion, but from the tension that was slowly building between them.As Enne tried to launch her final attack, Altair easily dodged and caught her wrist. With one swift movement, Enne lost his balance, and in an instant he was in Altair's arms. Her heart was beating fast as their gazes met. Altair's dark eyes were filled with something Enne had never seen before-unrestrained desire."You did well," Altair murmured, his voice deep and filled with pent-up emotion.Enne was speechless. The air between them was heavy with something unspoken. Altair's hand that was still grasping her wrist slowly moved to her face, gently caressing her cheek. Enne held her breath, feeling the warmth from his touch."Al
That night, the sky above Pack Altair was covered with glittering stars. The night breeze blew gently, caressing the leaves and carrying the distinctive scent of damp forest soil. Inside his quarters, Enne sat on the edge of the bed, fiddling with his fingers restlessly. It had been several days since his secret training with Stella and until now, he still hadn't found the courage to speak to Altair."You must persuade him, Enne. If anyone can do it, it's you." Stella's words were still ringing in her head.Enne sighed heavily. It was not an easy thing to do. Not because she didn't want to be honest, but because every time she tried to open her mouth, her tongue felt numb. Altair, with his cold calm demeanor, always managed to make her lose her nerve at the last moment. But that didn't mean she gave up.Throughout the day, Enne tried to find the right time. Several times, he found himself face to face with Altair, but when the man's piercing gaze traced his face, his guts shrank. Ever
Devota stood tall before Altair, his eyes radiating seriousness as he delivered his report."Before I saw firsthand, Alpha Stella asked me to vacate the training area. I thought it was just normal training, but after I checked... I saw Stella was training with Luna Etienne."Altair did not respond immediately. His sharp eyes scrutinized Devota for a moment, before he finally leaned back in his chair, his fingers interlaced on the sturdy wooden table. To be honest, he was surprised-not because Stella was training Enne, but because Enne chose to hide this from him."She did it behind my back..." Altair muttered more to himself.Devota watched her leader's expression intently, trying to understand his reaction. She had expected Altair to be angry or at least annoyed that Luna was training without his knowledge. But the opposite was true-Altair was only surprised, not angry. He seemed more worried than upset."You're not angry?" Devota asked finally.Altair shook his head slowly. "I don't
Enne bit her lip, holding her breath as Stella attacked her again. He tried to defend himself, but as time went on, his reflexes slowed down. Her legs began to feel heavy, her body began to lose balance.Stella quickly seized the opening. Within seconds, she launched a flurry of attacks-punches, kicks, deadly moves that Enne could usually avoid. But this time, Enne was overwhelmed.Her feet stumbled as she tried to dodge, and before she could balance herself, Stella had already grabbed her arm and pushed her to the ground. Enne fell with a thud, her breath coming in gasps."You're starting to slow down," Stella commented, giving her a sharp look.Enne growled, trying to get up, but her whole body felt heavy. She looked at Stella in frustration. "I... I don't know why."Stella watched him intently, her brow furrowed. Since the beginning of the practice, she had felt that something was off with Enne. His initial movements were quite good, but over time, he grew slower and seemed unfocus
Enne sat on the balcony of his residence, staring into the distance with a blank expression. The sun was about to set, leaving a beautiful orange tinge in the sky. However, his mind could not enjoy that beauty at all.It had been more than a week since the incident at her wedding-since Andhara had kidnapped her.Or rather, someone who looked like Andhara.Ever since then, something had been wrong. Something that bothered her so much that she had trouble sleeping.Lynx was still asleep.Enne had tried to talk to her wolf. He had closed his eyes many times, focusing, hoping to hear Lynx's distinctive voice that was usually sharp and sarcastic. But, there was no answer.Normally, Lynx wouldn't stay silent if Enne felt uneasy.But now, the silence she felt was even more frightening.'What exactly is happening to me?'Her hands clenched into fists on her thighs. Ever since that incident, she tried to live her days normally. As if nothing had happened. However, the empty feeling inside her
"You've done your job well, Devota," Altair said finally. "But from now on, I will handle this myself."The next day, Altair called a surprise meeting with all the pack members. No one knew what would be discussed, but once they saw the cold look in their leader's eyes, no one dared to underestimate the urgency.Enne, who was standing beside Altair, felt confused by this situation. However, he did not say anything, just waited like the other members.When everyone had gathered, Altair stepped forward."I want to discuss something I shouldn't have to," his voice sounded heavy, each word containing power. "Our Luna has been accepted in a legitimate ceremony, and that means she is one of us. However, I hear there are those who still question her position."Silence fell over the place."I don't care who you are or where you come from, but one thing you must understand-no one in this pack has the right to challenge my decision." Altair's eyes swept the crowd with his piercing gaze. "Enne i
