Mauve,"What kind of place is this? Are those flowers poisonous? I can't inhale something poisonous, you know!" I clung closely behind the mysterious woman, watching where I stepped so I wouldn’t accidentally trip on a root or breathe in something dangerous.She didn’t even glance back at me, her voice calm yet lightly scolding. "No. Nothing will happen if you stay calm and walk properly. And of course, if you don’t ask so many questions."Despite her tone, she was breathtaking to look at. The type of beauty that was unshaken by time. The delicate wrinkles on her face told stories I could never begin to comprehend, and the silvery strands of hair framed her head like a crown. She didn’t hide her age — she wore it like a badge of wisdom, of power. In that moment, I realized I had never seen someone look so completely and unshakably regal."I apologize," I said softly, not wanting to annoy her further. "But I’m quite interested in the current situation I am in."She halted for a moment,
Marcus,She was there in a second and then, she vanished. For a second I found myself standing before that stream, the stream with an oak tree, in the middle of pine forest.The legendary gate of the Forbidden Park, unable to get inside or come out.My foot moved forward instinctively. Just one step. That’s all it would take. But next second, she was gone. Her voice didn't reach me. She didn't look at me. She just disappeared.Right now, standing on the right place where there is no streaming, no tree, no sweet scent or a vast forest. Nothing. And she was gone.My heart was pounding. I failed to protect my sister. I promised her to protect her always. I had already missed twenty five years. How could I let her go now? I should have done better. After informing the situation to Alpha, I decided to search through it when I heard a voice coming from behind."You never listen, do you?" I turned sharply. The tone made me freeze.Luna Paleframe stood behind me, arms crossed, her eyes like
AlessandroShe was dead. It was too easy to say out loud. But deep down, we both knew we were unable to move on the thought that we abandoned her... killed her. The conference room still echoed with the last words that had shattered the fragile decorum moments ago. "Mauve? Did you just say Mauve!?" I repeated, my voice thick with disbelief and a twisted edge of desperate hope. Alpha Paleframe stiffened, and I caught the faintest flicker of panic in his eyes. He masked it quickly, but not quickly enough. "Master! Mauve Scarlet is dead. You know that!" Carl rushed to correct me, his voice laced with confusion, perhaps to convince both me and himself. I gave him a death glare that silenced the room. Then I rose to my full height and looked straight at Alpha Paleframe. "I don’t care. I will see whether she is Mauve or not."" Master! I don't think she is Ma-!" His lips parted slightly, but the words did not come.I narrowed my eyes, staring at Carl who had been trying his best to
Mauve,"Before we leave, we must collect what we need for the long journey," I muttered as Neva walked into the forest.Yesterday’s incident had shaken me up. Like my previous pack, they didn’t want me here. Now that I almost killed the Luna, people were against me. I could hear them better than when I was just a human. My eyes were sharper, my hearing ability had improved, and I could stay hungry a bit longer.So, I knew. I could smell the hatred from everyone.It might have been Luna Paleframe’s scheme. She won, and I chose to lose to protect my dignity, my self-respect. I never wanted to stay where I wasn’t welcome.We gathered some weird herbs, truffles, and some wild fruits that could be preserved dry. On the way to this pack, Marcus introduced me to some survival instincts to follow. So, I was going to rely on that skill until I got into the human world.Possibly, it would take days or months. I might have to fight... but with Neva by my side, I feared nothing."What about fish?
Alpha Paleframe,"Are you sure you want to go through with it, Alpha?" Michael asked while helping me put on my suit. His voice held concern, and I could see the hesitance in his eyes."We can't ignore the fact that the other pack is on the verge of collapse. Besides, it's the only way you can truly assess whether your daughter is strong enough to become the Pack Healer."Michael took a sharp breath, his fingers momentarily pausing on the cuff of my sleeve. "Liliana is still on a mission. I don't know how she will react. Also... I don't trust my own daughter."I stopped and turned to face him. Michael, my younger brother, had always been the gentler one among us—loyal, steady, and blessed with strength. But even the strongest faltered when it came to their children."She wants to be a good healer. It's time for her to challenge the blessings given to her by the Moon Goddess. You know how strong our daughters are. The female descendants of the Moon Goddess are not ordinary."Michael no
Marcus Paleframe,It was on the last New Moon when we started feeling another presence in the web of our descendants of Moon Goddess. Everyone has their own connection, like a string connected to each other.It felt strong, stronger than any Descendants ever existed. It wasn't a secret that Moon Goddess preferred She-Wolf to have their blessings.When we realized that the missing spot on the web of Descendants of Moon Goddess wasn't empty but shining, we knew that one of us, stronger was out there.We sent people to investigate our ancestors who went to different places in the world. Humans, non-humans, forbidden packs where no wolf is allowed, just to investigate if anyone was pregnant with the next descendants or... There were descendants that they hid from us.We returned with no results. Dad started getting agitated. When one of the strongest descendants of Moon Goddess went to the BloodStone Eclipse Pack and was killed by the previous Alpha, he was reluctant to let anyone get hur
