The dust slowly settled; the tensioned cheers from a moment ago had turned into a roar of victory. In the center of the arena, Liam still stood upright though his chest rose and fell rapidly, his breathing ragged, his silver fur smeared with blood and dirt.

Gregor lay on the ground, his black wolf form covered in scratch marks and bite wounds. He tried to get up once, staggered, then fell back onto his back, breathing heavily.

The crowd began to chant Liam’s name, “Darkmane! Darkmane!”

Liam stepped slowly toward Gregor. He had reverted to his human form, though his body was streaked with blood and bruises. With the last of his strength he reached out a hand—a gesture of honor, not of insult.

“Get up, Gregor. The fight is over,” Liam said.

Gregor turned his head; his red eyes glinted with anger and shame. Roughly, he brushed Liam’s hand away.

“Don’t think this is the end,” he snarled. Then he forced himself to his feet, staggered, and walked out of the arena with his head bowed.

    After showering together, we changed into clean clothes and sat at the dining table. A simple meal was ready—warm soup, bread, and herbal tea. It might not have been as lavish as the Luna banquet earlier, but for me, sitting across from Liam was the most beautiful thing.I watched his face, still tired, yet his gaze remained sharp. Every now and then he took a deep breath, then offered me a small smile.“Eat plenty. You used up your energy saving that man earlier,” he said as he ladled soup into my bowl.“I was scared, but at that moment I had no other choice.”“You were brave, but I want to talk about something more important.”“What is it?” I asked.Liam set his spoon down and looked at me seriously. “I know you keep thinking about your father. You hope to meet him again, but I want you to stop hinging your life on that. Focus on something real—something you can achieve now.”I fell silent. Those words felt like a gentle slap, because he was right. I often drifted into shadows and w

    The drums had only just faded when a roar thundered from the northern stands. A hulking figure in a dark cloak emerged from the crowd, each step heavy, his aura suffocating. Whispers died, and a single name rolled through the spectators like a storm.“Gregor…”Liam stiffened, his jaw tightening. His hand clamped around mine, harder than before. Gregor’s eyes swept the arena, locking on Liam.“I challenge you, Alpha Liam of Darkmane! You and me alone. We end this here, before every true Alpha!”The crowd erupted. Some howled for blood, others froze, knowing the weight of such a duel. If Liam refused, Darkmane’s honor would shatter. If he accepted, his life hung in the balance.“Liam, you’ve just recovered,” I whispered, panic rising.“I accept,” he declared.A roar thundered across the arena. The Moon Keeper lifted his bone staff. “Two Alphas shall fight. This combat is sanctioned. It ends only when one yields or falls. Are you prepared?”Gregor sneered, shrugging off his cloak. Scars

    The thunder of drums shifted into the blare of a long horn. The Alphas descended into the stone-ringed arena, its walls lined with ancient terraces. Bonfires roared at the four corners, each flame marking one of the sacred directions. A Moon Keeper, a gray-robed elder, lifted his staff of bone.“Friendly combat. Not for vengeance, but for respect. The blood spilled here is bound by oath.”Liam stood among the honored line, arms folded, his gaze flicking toward me. I gave him a small nod. He kept his promise holding back.The first match began: the Alpha of Blackclaw versus the Alpha of Ironhowl. Cheers erupted as two tall men shed their cloaks, shifting in an instant. Bones cracked, muscles swelled, fur burst forth black and gray. They circled, snapped, lunged testing reflexes, measuring dominance. Minutes later, Ironhowl lowered his muzzle in defeat.My chest tightened. No matter how many times I witnessed it, the transformation always unsettled me not from fear, but from the knowled

    The sky was clear that day, the clouds drifting peacefully as though they too were welcoming the great event that came only once a year: the Gathering of True Wolves at the Moonfang Arena.As a symbol of unity and strength among packs, the arena—situated in the heart of neutral territory—stood as witness to the meeting of Alphas, Betas, and Lunas from every corner of the land. Liam and I were among them.After long days in the hospital and the turmoil of discovering traces of my father, Liam had finally recovered. His body looked strong again, his aura of leadership radiating as before, though I knew well the scars had not yet truly healed.“Are you sure you want to come?” I asked as we stepped out of the sleek black car driven by one of our Betas.Liam glanced at me. “I’m Alpha. Our presence matters.”“But you’ve only just recovered. Don’t even think of joining the fights,” I teased, giving his arm a small pinch.He chuckled softly, raising his hands in surrender. “All right, all rig

    “LIAM!” I rushed into the isolation room the moment Ethan called me.Liam’s body stirred faintly on the bed. His eyes fluttered open, still weak. When he saw me, he exhaled, not in relief but as if straining against emotion.“Are you out of your mind?” he asked.I held my breath. “Liam?”“You went into that forest again without permission, without enough guards. I just woke up and they told me you vanished, leading a mission alone! Do you want to die?”I lowered my head, my hands clutching the hem of the Luna’s mantle I still wore. “I didn’t mean to defy you. But I had to know if it was really my father.”“You risked everything for a man who doesn’t even know you. You are the Luna of this pack. Do you think your place can be replaced if something happens to you?”“No one can replace you either! You chased me into the forest and nearly died for it. Do you think it didn’t shatter me to see you collapse in my arms?” I shot back.“But at least I was protecting you! That is my duty as Alph
