As Ava and Chloe looked around the airy beauty of the Shadow garden, a feeling of foreboding gripped them tighter with every step. The air seemed to thicken, heavy with ancient magic and whispered secrets. all of sudden, a low rumble echoed through the garden, causing the ground to shake under their feet.

With wide eyes, they scanned their surroundings, trying to find the source of the ominous sound. before they could react, the ground split open, revealing a dark room from which a black smoke emerged.

Ava and Chloe stumbled backward, their hearts racing with fear as a large creature emerged from the depths of the abyss. Towering over them with big horns and sinister eys that shone bright, it exuded an air horror and sent shivers down their spines.

Before she could come up with an excuse, Alpha Kellanā€™s expression softened, replaced by a look of concern. ā€œI was worried about you,ā€ he said, his voice gentler than before. ā€œYou disappeared without a word, and I had no idea where you went.ā€ Avaā€™s eyes widened in surprise; she hadnā€™t expected Alpha Kellan to be worried about her.

"Please, can you let Alpha Kellan know that I need to talk to him urgently and tell him I've been waiting here for a long time now," she pleaded, her voice tinged with desperation and urgency. The guard hesitated for a while before nodding reluctantly and knocking on the office door once again. This time, when he entered, Ava held her breath, hoping for Alpha Kellan. Minutes passed, but the guard was not yet out. It felt like hours as Ava paced nervously outside the office, her mind racing

    Alpha Kellan's jaw clenched as he uttered Chloe's name. "Chloe Darkclaws, I don't want to repeat myself," he said, his tone cold as ice. Ava felt a sinking sensation in her stomach as she listened to their conversation. "Let's go, Chloe," she murmured, her voice barely audible. Chloe hesitated, glancing between Ava and Kellan. "But, Avaā€”" she began, her voice low. Ava gave her a reassuring smile before turning to the door. "Ava, you should not pry into things that do not concern you.

    Ava stood before the audience, her heart beating rapidly. The weight of what she knew almost choked her. The night air was full of anticipation, the full moon shining on the faces of her friends, everyone waiting, thinking about the answer. Their eyes were a mixture of hope, fear, and curiosity.

    Ava's mind was in chaos, and her heart was beating louder with every step she took. The Alpha Mansion, a beautiful and majestic building, suddenly appeared in front of her. Its stone walls and towers seemed to express displeasure in the eyes of Alpha Kellan. The pack members were quiet, murmuring and worrying as if to make him suspicious.
