Lyre

I stumbled through the forest, my legs shaking with exhaustion. The pack was close now, I could feel it. My pack of herbs grew heavier with each step.

"Almost there," Selene encouraged. “You did it Lyra.

I managed a weak smile. "We did it. We couldn't have done it without you."

As I walked out from the trees, my heart skipped a beat at the sight in front of me..

There was Gabriel, pacing anxiously at the edge of the clearing. Kim, Zara, and Kira stood at a distance with worried looks on their faces.

Gabriel lifted his head and his eyes locked on mine. "Lyra!" he shouted, walking closer.

I took a step forward, my knee buckling slightly.

As I walked closer out of the forest, my shaky legs were failing me. The familiar pheromones of the Alpha soothing me.

“We finally did it,” Selene uttered to me. “We actually did it.

I nodded at her. I was too exhausted not to speak.

Kim, Zara, and Kira stood at a distance with worried looks on their faces.

Gabriel walked towards me, his head an

    GabrielI walked up and down in my office, my thoughts were a mess because she left to the trail again. I was worried and frustrated. It has been an hour since Lyra was gone gathering the trail herbs."She'll be fine Gab," Fury reassured, but my protective Sense won't rest . “She's stronger than you give her credit for." He added.I ran a hand through my disheveled hair and sighing heavily. "I know, I know but-"My internal debate was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in," I barked.Talon, my beta and oldest friend, walked in. His eyes widened slightly at my disheveled appearance. "Still no word from Luna Lyra?"I shook my head and collapsed into my chair. "Nothing. I should have insisted on sending guards with her."Talon leaned against the table with a thoughtful expression. "You know she wouldn't let that happen. She's determined to prove it.""But why?" I exploded and slammed my fist into the table. "She's already my Luna, she's already carrying my puppies. What else does

    LyraThe sun woke me up, my body ached, but my spirit renewed. Today was the day - I finally learned how to make medicine from the herbs I collected."Ready for this?" Selene asked as I got dressed."As I ever will," I replied, trying to suppress the butterflies in my stomach.I went to Lila's quarters, the herbs clutched to my chest. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door."Come in," came Lila's gruff voice.I walked inside, blinking my eyes. Lila was over her desk."Um, Elder Lila?" I said hesitantly. “I brought the herbs.She turned and her eyes widened when she saw what I was carrying. "By the Moon Goddess," she breathed. “Actually you did.I nodded and carefully placed the herbs on her table. “Moonflower from Whispering Falls, Ghostly Orchid from Misty Hollow, and blood rose from Crimson Meadow.Lily's twisted fingers hovered over each herb, her expression a mixture of fear and suspicion.

    I crawled back to my room, muscles aching from hours of crushing herbs and mixing potions. When I opened the door I was greeted with the warm smiles of Zara and Kim."Womb!" Kim shouted, lunging forward. "How was your lesson with Elder Lila?"I couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm. “Exhausting,” I admitted. “But… good, I guess.Zara tsk sympathetically. "You look dead on your feet. Come sit down and we'll take care of you."I was too tired to argue and let them lead me to the plush chair. Zara immediately began massaging my shoulders, her skilled hands working out the knots.“Oh,” I moaned. “That's an amazing feeling.Kim knelt at my feet and gently removed my shoes. "Tell us everything," she urged. "Did you make any remedies?"While Zara and Kim looked after me, I talked about my day with Lila. They gasped at my mistakes and cheered at my successes."Healing salve for the first try?" Zara wondered. "That's impressive, Luna!"I blushed at the praise. "It wasn't perfect," I mumbled

    LyraI woke up with a heavy head and pounding as hell. There was a knock that made me sit up and sleep."Luna Lyra!" Kim's voice called, tinged with panic. "You're needed immediately!"I climbed down, almost falling. "What's happening?" I asked, throwing open the door.Kim's face was pale with worry. "It's Ethan, one of our youngest warriors. He's been bitten by a venomous snake during patrol."My blood ran cold. "A... snake?" I whispered, feeling the color drain from my face."Yes," Kim nodded frantically. "Elder Lila is away gathering herbs. You're our only hope, Luna."I stood frozen, terror gripping my heart. Snakes. My greatest fear, the source of countless nightmares."We have to go," Selene urged within me. "A pack member needs us."I shook my head, trembling. "I can't. I can't face a snake. I just can't."Kim looked at me, confusion and desperation warring in her eyes. "Luna, please. Ethan doesn't have much time."Her words cut through my panic like a knife. A young wolf's li

    LyraI stretched lazily in the warm afternoon sun, feeling satisfied after a successful morning of herb gathering. The peace was short-lived."Luna Lyra!" The young wolf called, rushing towards me. "Elder Lila needs you in her lair. It's urgent!"My heart skipped a beat. Urgently? That couldn't be good.I hurried to Lily's lair, anxiety growing with each step. What could be so urgent?"Elder Lila?" I called, pulling aside the heavy curtain at the entrance to her lair. "Did you want to see-"The words died in my throat. There on the floor was Kim. My friend. My confidant. Pale as death and trembling as a leaf in autumn."Kim!" I cried and rushed to her. "What happened?"Lili's harsh voice cut through my panic. “That, Luna Lyra, is what you need to find out.I tore my eyes away from Kim's shaking form and stared at Lila. The old man's face was a stone mask that revealed nothing."What do you think?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Lila's next words hit me like a physical blow

    LyraI strode back and forth in Lila's den, my thoughts racing like leaves trapped in a storm. Kim was laying on the improvised bed, breathing shallowly and laboriously. Each agonizing breath served as a reminder of the ticking clock. "Think, Lyra," I said to myself. "What did Lila say about poison?" Rare. It mimics a wasting illness. But aside from that, I was grasping at shadows. "We'll make it," Selene's voice said calmly in my head, a contrast to my terror. "We've experienced obstacles before. I took a deep breath and attempted to concentrate. "You're right," I muttered. "We have to approach this methodically." I went down beside Kim and softly grasped her hand. It felt chilly and moist, like a wet stone. "Kim?" I called quietly. "Can you hear me?" Her eyelids fluttered and she managed a weak nod. “I need you to tell me exactly how you feel,” I said, squeezing her hand. "Every detail can be important." Kim's voice was barely a whisper. "It… it's burning. Like fire in my veins.

    LyraI sat at Kim's bedside, watching as her chest rose and fell with each difficult breath. The brief satisfaction I had after recovering her had dissipated, replaced by a nagging concern. Kim wasn't safe yet, and I was running out of options."How are you feeling?" I asked quietly, holding her hand in mine. Kim's eyelids fluttered open, a faint grin spreading across her pale face."Been better," she muttered. "But I'm still here, thanks to you." Her words, intended to reassure, twisted the knife of guilt in my belly."Don't thank me yet," I mumbled. "I haven't cured you." Kim clasped my hand with the little power she had left. "You will," she assured me, her trust unshakeable."I trust you, Lyra." As Kim fell back asleep, I felt tears well up in my eyes. How could she have such faith in me when I was full of doubt? "We can't let her down," Selene said in my head."We have to keep trying." I nodded and wiped away my tears. "You're correct. But what if we don't find it out in time?

    Lyra I sat at Kim's bedside, observing her while the antidote I gave her gradually took effect. The room was quiet except for the mild sound of Kim's breathing, which was more steady than it had been in hours. "Come on, Kim," I said softly, squeezing her hand."You can do it. Fight." Kim's eyes twitched wide, as if she had heard my cry. Her eyes, previously darkened with sadness, now carried a spark of life. "Lyra?" she said, her voice soft but distinct. "What happened?" Relief surged through me, making me dizzy."You're okay," I said, tears welling up in my eyes. "It worked."You are going to be fine." Kim attempted a little grin. "I told you you could do it," she murmured, squeezing my hand slightly. I let out a teary chuckle. "Yeah, well, next time maybe don't volunteer to be poisoned, okay?" "Deal," Kim chuckled and winced slightly. "Ow."Laughter hurts." "Take it easy," I said, adjusting her covers. "You've been through a lot." As Kim fell asleep, I felt Selene stir within

In the midst of everything, I was amazed to stand next to the majestic White Stag, still in awe of the recent events.Zara came closer, her typically serious expression now showing a hint of admiration. She halted a short distance from me, alternating her gaze between myself and the White Stag."Luna Lyra," she exclaimed, her voice traveling through the clearing and quieting the audience. I have to confess, I had some skepticism about you. Numerous uncertainties.I aligned my back, looking directly into her eyes without wavering. I am aware that you did it, Elder Zara. And I don't hold you accountable for that.Zara's lips were tugged by a slight smile. "No, I guess you wouldn't." You

I lay there for a moment, attempting to figure out what had occurred.The cavern. Kieran's name was uttered. The anger that had taken over me...I jolted awake, my heart pounding."Take it easy," a voice that was recognizable whispered gently. "You are out of danger."I looked over and noticed Gabriel by the bed, with dark circles under his eyes indicating that he hadn't slept. I felt relieved when I saw him, but then uncertainty crept in."Is that Gabriel?" I spoke softly, my voice rough. "Is it truly you now?"Understanding and pain softened his facial expression. "It's I, my darling. "My true self."I extended my hand cautiously, anticipating it might g

The familiar smell of pine and dirt entered my nose, connecting me to the earth."I murmured, just a dream, but the words lacked substance."The recent happenings kept playing over in my head like a distorted film. Gabriel's act of betrayal, the ensuing battle, and my eventual triumph all felt incredibly unreal.I lifted myself up, grimacing at the imaginary pain in my side caused by Gabriel's claws. However, upon checking, there was no visible injury. No mark. No changes."What on earth?"I spun around, ready for a confrontation, as a twig broke close by. Kieran appeared from the darkness, his emerald eyes shining in the moon's glow."Take it easy, Luna," he said, with his hands up. "I a

I inhaled deeply, preparing myself for the words I was about to speak."Dear fellow wolves," I started, my voice projecting more confidence than I truly possessed, "today I have somber news to share. "We have been deceived."A quiet sound spread through the audience. I witnessed Zara's eyes narrowing and her body becoming tense.I kept talking, the words tasting like ash in my mouth, about how Gabriel, our Alpha, had betrayed us. "Opposed to me."The quiet murmuring transformed into a loud roar. Disbelief, rage, and dread combined in the atmosphere like a poisonous mist."Someone exclaimed that it couldn't be done!" Gabriel would never..."I witnessed it mys

    LyraThis morning, the forest was more silent than typical. The birds appeared reluctant to disturb the unsettling stillness. I moved stealthily through the thick vegetation, ready for anything. I sensed something was wrong, but I couldn't quite pinpoint it."I said to myself that you're being paranoid, attempting to rid myself of the sense of unease."There was a snapping sound of a twig from behind me. I spun around, my heart racing, and caught sight of Gabriel coming out from the darkness."Gabe!" I took a breath, feeling relieved. "You frightened me so much I thought I was going to die."Although he smiled, his eyes did not reflect the same happiness. I apologize, my dear. I didn't intend to scare you.I observed his facial expressions, noticing the tightness in his jaw and the faint crease in his forehead. "Are all things right?"&nb

    LyraTension filled the forest as I stealthily made my way through the underbrush. Each time a twig snapped, I jumped, every rustle of leaves made me search the shadows. The search had been happening for hours, but I was still no closer to locating my target than I was at the beginning."I whispered in defeat, leaning against a tree trunk." I will never succeed at this."You won't succeed with that mindset," a voice said from above me.I suddenly sat up, my heart racing. Sitting on a branch like a large bird was a stranger I didn't recognize. His teeth stood out in stark contrast against his tanned skin as he smiled down at me."What is your identity?" I asked firmly, attempting to control the shake in my voice. "You are not a member of our group."The unknown individual descended from the tree, landing with the agility of a cat. "

    LyraUpon reaching a curve in the stream, I spotted the origin of the sound. A youthful wolf was trapped under a fallen tree, with its leg stuck in an awkward position. Filled with a blend of fear and desperation, my eyes locked with its golden ones.I cautiously moved closer, extending my hands in a peaceful manner. "I whispered softly, 'Take it easy.'" "I will not cause you any harm."The wolf whimpered once more, weakly resisting its wooden confinement. I realized then that it was not only its leg that was hurt - there was also a deep cut on its side covered in blood.I felt pain in my heart as I saw it. This wasn't the target I was supposed to go after, but I couldn't abandon it to endure suffering. "I said softly, more for my own benefit than for the wolf," I murmured. "Let's try to see if we can assist in getting you out of that place."I inspected the downed

The rest of the hunters were prepared, their expressions showing firm resolve. I attempted to emulate their self-assurance, but internally, uncertainty consumed me like a ravenous wolf.Zara's voice sliced through the morning breeze, sharp like a sword. "Hunters, get ready at your designated spots!"I went to my assigned location, my legs shaking a bit. The trees stood in front of me, casting long and eerie shadows in the morning sun.Zara called out, "When I give the signal," "Counting down from three to one..." "Begin!"Similar to arrows flying from taut bows, we charge into the woods. Each hunter hurried to claim their prey, the air filled with the sound of cracking twigs and rustling l

Today, it will serve as our battlefield.As I neared the open space, I noticed the hunters had already assembled. Their expressions showed strong resolve, with sparkling eyes anticipating the excitement of the forthcoming test.

"Thank you for joining us, it's great to have you here."I stood up tall, determined not to be intimidated. "I wouldn't skip it," I responded, my voice sounding more confident than I actually felt.Zara's mouth formed a sly smil
