THE MYSTERIOUS NECKLACE

Andrea sat by the window in her new room, staring out into the darkness. The events of the past few days had left her feeling more isolated and confused than ever. The Luna ceremony had changed everything, yet she felt as if she were living someone else's life, trapped in a role she didn't understand.

She absentmindedly reached for the pendant around her neck, a simple blue stone set in a silver frame. It had belonged to her father, the only thing she had left of him. As she held it, the stone suddenly began to glow, a soft blue light emanating from it. Andrea's heart skipped a beat. This had happened before, when she first arrived at the pack, but she still had no explanation for it.

A voice, soft and distant, whispered her name. "Andrea..."

Her breath caught in her throat. She looked around the room, but there was no one there. The voice seemed to come from within the pendant itself.

"Follow the light, Andrea. Find me..."

The glowing intensified for a moment, then abruptly stopped.
