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
A gray sky stretched over the Altair pack territory. Thick clouds hung low, as if pressing down on the ground with an invisible weight. The cold air reached down to the bones, carrying a faint scent of wet earth and blood.Stella waited in the meeting room, her gaze fixed on the open door. As soon as Altair stepped inside, followed by Enne, she cut in without preamble."We need to talk," she said firmly.Altair raised one eyebrow. "If this is about patrols, Stella, I've already increased the guards at the border.""That's not it." Stella gave Enne a quick glance, before looking back at Altair. "It's about Nathalie and Andhara. They are a threat to your pack. We can't ignore that fact.""Andhara is indeed an enemy," Altair admitted in a low voice. "I don't want to admit it but she had a hand in bringing back Etienne's inner wolf.""Rash decision," Stella cut in. "You should have locked them up until we really knew what they were planning. We don't even know who's controlling those stra
The morning air felt heavier as Enne stood at the edge of the balcony, looking up at the slowly brightening sky. His hands grasped the wooden railing, trying to find peace after the journey they had just gone through last night. However, something was bothering him-a faint whisper that had lingered in his mind since their return from the spirit world."You must go back to remember everything."The voice came again, clearer than before. Enne felt something inside him-a strange energy that he had never felt before. Ever since his inner wolf returned, there was a part of him that felt changed.Footsteps sounded from behind. She didn't need to turn her head to know who was approaching."Still thinking about last night's trip?" Altair's voice sounded low and calm, as usual.Enne nodded slowly. "It feels... like something's not right. Like something came back with us."Altair stood beside her, his eyes staring intently at the sky as if searching for answers. "I feel it too," he said. "But w
The air around them changed. The temperature dropped drastically, and a dense fog enveloped the place. Enne blinked, trying to understand where they were after the explosion of light from the moonstone. The sound of the wind blowing sounded like a whisper, slipping between the lifeless trees around them.Altair stood beside her, his breathing heavy and his jaw hardened. Nathalie as well as Andhara looked uneasy, her eyes scanning the shadows moving in the distance."We're... not in the same place," Enne murmured, her voice trembling."Definitely not," Altair replied, his voice deep and alert. "I don't like this."Suddenly, footsteps sounded from behind the mist. A tall figure in dark robes appeared, his eyes glowing silvery like the moon. He stood in front of them expressionlessly, exuding an ancient aura that gave Enne goosebumps."Welcome to the true spirit world," he said, his voice echoing through the air."Who are you?" Altair asked sharply."Someone who has been waiting for you.
That morning, before the sun had fully risen into the sky, Enne, Altair, Andhara and Nathalie left the pack territory and began their journey towards the cave Andhara was referring to. The forest they had to pass through was darker and quieter than usual. The trees towered high, forming a thick canopy that let only a little sunlight penetrate to the ground. The air was cold, carrying the scent of wet leaves after last night's rain. Enne stared at the street below him, his mind spinning at Andhara's confession."Moonstone..." she murmured softly.Back then, the last time Andhara had kidnapped her, there was something different about the man. The look in his eyes, the way he spoke, and his aura felt more... dark. Now everything was starting to make sense. The moonstone was not just a legend, but something real and influential.Enne clenched his fists, determined. If the stone had anything to do with Lynx's disappearance, then he had to find it.Currently, they were on their way to the c
Andhara hid in the shadow of the wooden building not far from the room where Nathalie was being held. Her eyes were sharp, watching from a small gap, taking in every movement in the room.She knew this was dangerous. She shouldn't be here. But after hearing that Nathalie was captured by Altair and brought into the pack's territory, Andhara could not stay silent.She wanted to know what happened to her partner.More than that, she wanted to make sure that Altair and Stella didn't find anything that could harm her.However, what she did not expect was to see Enne in the room, talking to Nathalie.Andhara narrowed her eyes.What was he doing there?Enne sat in a chair across from Nathalie, trying to talk to her. Her gestures suggested that she wasn't interrogating, but rather trying to understand.Andhara frowned.But she didn't have much time to analyze it further.Because in an instant, before she could realize what was happening, someone moved from behind her-and suddenly the world ar
The night wind crept into the cave where Andhara was hiding, bringing with it a chill that pierced to his bones. He leaned against the rough stone wall, his body tired after days of being directionless.His eyes stared blankly into the darkness, but his mind was much darker than that. Ever since then-since he failed to protect himself, failed to protect his inner wolf, failed to maintain control-the voices in his head had been getting more and more intense."Shut up."He pressed the sides of his head together, his fingers gripping his own hair. However, the voice did not disappear. It remained, whispering, demanding, threatening."You think you can run from me? From us?"That voice was not his inner wolf. Andhara knew. Her inner wolf was supposed to be a part of her, not an alien force lurking in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to take control.But he couldn't hear his inner wolf anymore. Just like Enne.Damn it.He closed his eyes, trying to control her ragged breathing. He
Enne sat on the side of his bed, his hand gently rubbing the cool surface of the blanket. His mind had been wandering since the events of last night. Altair had caught him in Nathalie's room, and although he didn't get angry right away, his cold demeanor clearly showed that he didn't approve of Enne's actions.She bit her lip lightly. She knew Altair was just worried, but she could not stay silent either. Lynx was still missing, and the only person who might be able to help-Andhara-was still missing.The door to the room suddenly opened, revealing Altair standing tall with an unreadable expression. His sharp eyes scanned Enne for a few moments before he finally stepped inside and closed the door behind him."What are you thinking?" Altair's heavy voice broke the silence.Enne turned her head and looked at him. "I'm thinking about Lynx. About Andhara."Altair took a breath, then walked towards her. "And you think that talking to Nathalie will give you answers?"Enne nodded, but hesitat
Enne walked slowly along the corridor, carrying a tray of steaming hot food. Only the sound of her footsteps could be heard, echoing off the stone walls of Altair's pack house.To be honest, she was a little nervous. Altair would be furious if he found out he was taking over Jessica's duty to deliver food to Nathalie. Not because he cared whether Nathalie ate or not, but because he didn't want Enne to be in danger.But Enne felt she had to do this.Nathalie had remained silent ever since they brought her to the pack house. No answers, no resistance, not even a curse like prisoners who refused to be detained would usually utter. It was as if she had completely shut herself off from all of them.And Enne wanted to know why.When she arrived in front of the room where Nathalie was locked up, she caught her breath, then knocked gently on the door."Come in," came the voice from inside, flat and emotionless.Enne opened the door slowly.The room was quite cozy compared to the cold and damp
The sun was still hiding behind the horizon when Altair, Enne, Stella, and a few of Altair's confidants prepared to depart. The morning air was cold, but the tension between them was enough to chase away any drowsiness or laziness.Enne was wearing a light combat suit-something Stella had prepared for her. The clothes allowed for quick movement, and although still not fully accustomed to the role of a fighter, she knew that she could not rely solely on Altair's protection forever.Altair stood in front of them, his tall body like that of a leader ready to lead his troops. "We don't know what we'll face there. Andhara is cunning, and we need to be smarter than her."Everyone nodded."And you," Altair looked at Enne. "Stay by my side. Don't act rashly."Enne wanted to argue, but seeing the sharp look in Altair's eyes, she finally just nodded.Stella grinned. "Don't worry, I'll take care of her."Altair glanced at his cousin. "You'd rather cause trouble than look after someone."Stella l
