"What in the Moon Goddess's name had she stumbled into?" Penelope barely finished the thought before another growl rolled through the forest. She gasped and cursed under her breath.Her fingers tightened around the branch as she carefully pushed aside the leaves in front of her.Then she saw them.Two massive wolves stood beneath the shrubs, circling each other.One was covered in black fur, its eyes fixed on the other wolf with a frightening intensity. The second wolf had deep ox-blood fur, and from where Penelope sat, she could already tell it was larger.Neither wolf looked willing to back down.The black wolf lunged first.The ox-blood wolf moved aside just in time, its claws digging into the earth as it turned around. It snapped at the black wolf's neck, forcing it to jump backward.Penelope watched without moving. "What the heck are they fighting about?"She couldn't see any reason for it.There was no food between them. No other wolf.Just the two of them.The black wolf

Warm rays of sunlight slipped through the thick canopy above, breaking through the endless sea of leaves until they found her face. The gentle warmth stirred her from the restless sleep she had fallen into the night before. With a soft groan, she blinked several times before slowly sitting up.Every part of her body ached.Her shoulders felt stiff, her legs were sore, and the bruises she had earned from yesterday's events protested at even the slightest movement. She glanced down at herself. Parts of her dress were torn, exposing fresh scratches and dried streaks of blood. Twigs were tangled in her hair, and dirt clung stubbornly to her skin.She let out a slow breath.For a brief moment, she hoped everything had been nothing more than a terrible dream.It wasn't.The memory of her exile came crashing back without mercy—the accusing voices, the hatred in their eyes, the sentence that had stripped her of everything she had ever known.A dull pain settled in her chest.She closed h

" One, two, three...., why the fuck were three mean looking guards following us" Penelope asked her wolf in confusion. " He wants us to leave and make sure we cross his boundary without tricks" she answered in a huff. " Like as if we want to stay" Penelope countered back with a deep frown. " We want to Penelope, don't act like you don't" she said while letting out a deep sigh. " Not anymore" She replied with resilience. They reached the boundary then one of the soldiers called out to her. " Penelope" he said calmly as his face was covered with his helmet. " Sebastian?" she was shocked. " What are you doing here, don't tell me you sneaked out" she asked as warmth filled her heart. " Well just a little switching with the original guard for this escort but I'm here, aren't I" he replied in a rush while removing his helmet. " Come here" he opened his arms wide and without a second thought she crashed into his embrace with a restrained sob. " Go to the Dark Alley pack

The crowd shrank back in fear and disgust. The green field where Sophia laid was now crimson in colour and looked frightening. And with that the pack nurses rushed forward with a stretcher with Doctor John leading them, he stopped for a second and winked at her with a proud smile and she was baffled, he was....I mean he was supposed to be mad at her for being inhumane. Then a voice was being cleared and all attention was drawn towards to podium. Alpha Lucian stepped forward with a grim face. " With what happened just now, Penelope you will either be banished or choose to work" he flashed her a devilish smirk. " Your choice Omega" Her face paled at an alarming pace, she knew she was wrong but banishment was a bit overboard. Before she could gather her thoughts to respond, Sebastian snapped in anger. " For what!!, she didn't do anything wrong. Sophia was ridiculing her and besides this is a duel" he hollered out with despair written all over his face. Alpha Lucian's

No one expected a sneak attack from Jason, but Captain Andrew was on alert through out the fight and he saw that murderous glint in his eyes. Anyway he reached Jason first before he did anything foolish. He gave him a heavy punch on his neck and it twisted in a weird way but everyone knew it hurt due to the guttural sound he made, he staggered and collapsed with a loud thud that made the crowd wince. Penelope turned back surprised and flashed Andrew a grateful smile. " And the winner is Penelope" Andrew announced a bit more excited than usual. " And take him away from here" he ordered the nurses from the infirmary and with a stretcher they took him out of the arena. " And the next match is Sophia and Annab....." " Penelope" Sophia cut him off rudely with a look of disdain. " I want to fight with Penelope" she declared proudly. " But you signed up with Annabel, besides she has fought before and the rules are that she......" " Keep your damn rules to yourself Captain a

It was time for the contest as the dull looking field has been arranged with benches for the audience and a wide circle in the middle for the contestants. Everyone in the park was there including Alpha Lucian. Him being there had put Penelope and her wolf on the edge as she knew he will be there but never expected her body to react fiercely that it kept her from planning her fighting strategy. it was almost time for the contest to begin, people started filling up the empty spaces but then Alpha Lucian made his way out and climb on the podium that was set up for Andrew as he was the one that will be calling the winners and all that crap. " Alpha" all pack members greeted with respect and one voice. " Good evening all, I'm not going to take your time, because I'm sure all of you are on your ten toes for this contest". He smiled at his pack members and many smiled back. " You all know how I've been without a Luna for eight years after turning eighteen, well now I think it's
