Levi and Selena sank into the plush cushions of the oversized armchair, their bodies huddled close together. The room bathed in a soft, golden glow, courtesy of the ornate chandelier hanging above their heads. The air crackled with anticipation, and a palpable tension filled the space, intertwining with the scent of aged paper and ink.

As they sat at the round table, the worn wood grain beneath their fingertips. Levi's hands trembled slightly, betraying his eagerness, while Selena's eyes shone with a mix of anticipation and apprehension.

Levi's trembling fingers gently turned the fragile page, the crinkle of aged parchment filling the room like a whisper from the past. His breath caught in his throat as his eyes traced the inked letters on the yellowed paper. 

"The moonlit pack has been here for ages," Levi read aloud, his voice laced with a mix of awe and disbelief. The words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of a forgotten legacy. He glanced at Selena, who sat beside him, her eyes wide with anticipation, her chest rising and falling with each breath.

Levi's voice quivered as he continued, his words laden with a mixture of reverence and trepidation. "Though now extinct, they were one of the first breeds of werewolves. Which later created the breeds of Lycans." The air crackled with a newfound energy, tinged with both excitement and a hint of fear. The knowledge they were unraveling held the power to reshape their understanding of the world, to rewrite the boundaries of what was possible.

"oh so your pack created my bloodline" Levi's words hung in the air, heavy with a hint of bitter sarcasm. His voice, stained with skepticism and disbelief, pierced through the room like a jagged blade. Selena's expression softened, but determination sparkled in her eyes as she met his gaze, refusing to let his skepticism dampen their journey.

"Read on," Selena urged, her voice a gentle yet resolute plea. Her curiosity burned brighter than ever, fueled by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a desire to uncover the truths that lay hidden within the weathered pages. She leaned forward, her hands trembling with anticipation, urging Levi to continue delving deeper into the enigmatic book.

"They were the only breed of wolves who had the power to transform at will just like the Lycans, buh what made them special was they could communicate and control both Lycans and Wolfes using teleparty." Levi said looking up at Selene as if she held significant value in the supernatural world.

"They were the only breed of wolves who had the power to transform at will, just like the Lycans," Levi declared, his voice filled with wonder and amazement. The words echoed through the room, carrying with them the echoes of a long-forgotten era, when the moonlit pack had roamed the earth. His eyes met Selene's, a glimmer of recognition sparking in his gaze, as if he saw in her the embodiment of that very power.

"What?" Selena exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief, her eyes wide with shock. Her heart pounded in her chest, as if trying to break free from the heavy silence that now enveloped them. The weight of Levi's assumption bore down upon her, threatening to shatter the fragile trust they had built. "Who ever said I was from that clan" Selena added.

Levi hesitated for a moment, his breath catching in his throat. The weight of the pack crest, an emblem of ancestral pride and legacy, With a resigned yet resolute sigh, "Each member had the pack crest on their shoulder, a mark of belonging, an indelible symbol that etched their identity into the annals of time."

"Impossible," she protested, her voice trembling with a fragile mix of fear and defiance. She had spent her life shrouded by mundanes, never once catching a glimpse of the supernatural powers that supposedly coursed through her veins. The notion that the cherished book before them could be wrong gnawed at her, challenging the very essence of her existence. It was as if her world, once anchored by certainty, had suddenly become a treacherous sea of doubt and uncertainty.

"You know it's true," Levi said, his voice piercing through the air, cutting through Selena's dazed thoughts like a sharp blade. His words reverberated with a raw intensity, each syllable laden with a weight that demanded acknowledgment.

Selena's eyes widened, her gaze locked on Levi's, searching for answers, searching for confirmation. She could no longer deny the undeniable, the stirring of her ancestral bloodline that resonated within her being.

"Skip to the end," she urged, her words laced with a desperate plea for resolution. Her fingers tightened around the edge of the book, the worn pages whispering secrets that threatened to consume her.

"If any of the members are found to be alive, they should be kept safe and a secret. For no race wants them alive" Levi said before closing the book, each word laced with a chilling weight that sent shivers cascading down Selena's spine. His revelation hung in the air, pregnant with an ominous sense of urgency and danger. The truth before them threatened to unleash a tempest, an onslaught of consequences that could shatter their fragile existence.

"Don't believe all that. It's all bullshit," Levi's voice carried a hint of defiance, as if he aimed to shatter the ominous aura that surrounded their revelation. His words were a lifeline tossed to Selena, an attempt to alleviate the growing burden that threatened to consume her. He longed to reassure her, to infuse her spirit with a renewed sense of hope, His words were like a lifeline thrown into the tempest, an anchor to ground her amidst the swirling chaos. 

"It all makes sense," Selena affirmed, her voice carrying a newfound strength that seemed to reverberate within her being. It was as if the fragmented pieces of her past had finally fallen into place, forming a cohesive picture of her identity. The shadows that had plagued her for so long now seemed to retreat, replaced by a glimmer of understanding.

Levi's brows furrowed inquisitively as he leaned forward, his eyes searching Selena's face for answers. "It does?" he queried, his voice a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty. He yearned to comprehend the depths of her revelation, to grasp the significance of her newfound realization.

Selena took a deep breath, steeling herself for what lay ahead. Her voice trembled slightly, a reflection of the emotions swirling within her. "That's why my parents were taken," she uttered, her words carrying the weight of a hidden truth. The pieces of the puzzle began to align, revealing a sinister tapestry woven with threads of ancient lore and familial sacrifice.

Levi's eyes widened in realization, his features mirroring the mix of sorrow and determination that emanated from Selena. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily upon them, an unspoken understanding passing between them as they acknowledged the perilous path they were about to embark upon. They were no longer mere bystanders in the face of darkness; they had become active participants, driven by a burning desire to uncover the truth and seek justice for those who had been taken

"Let's go"Selena said, leaving. Without hesitation, she turned on her heels, her every movement infused with a newfound sense of purpose. Her steps were swift, a dance between determination and curiosity, her figure etched against the backdrop of uncertainty. Her departure was a call to action.

"To where?" Levi's voice rang out, a breathless plea laden with a mix of curiosity and concern. He struggled to keep up with Selena's determined stride, his eyes fixed upon her back, 

"My uncle's office" Selena responded
