The cold morning wind stung my skin while I walked towards the practice field. Excitement and fear together caused my heart to race. I had barely finished my successful hunting test when Zara called me again.
I had hardly enjoyed my successful hunting test when Zara called me once more.
As I approached, I saw Zara standing tall and imposing, surrounded by a group of seasoned hunters. Her eyes locked on mine, a predatory glint visible even from a distance.
“Luna Lyra,” she called, her voice carrying across the clearing. “So good of you to join us.
I straightened my spine and was not intimidated. "Elder Zara. Did you ask to see me?"
She nodded, a smirk playing at the corners of her mouth. "Indeed. Your recent… success… has caused quite a debate amongst the pack."

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

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. "

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.

"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
