LOGINLaila’s message was a great shock to the wolves of the northern territory; no one could believe that Blythe was gone and was going to be immediately replaced by another. The news was more of a shock to Lucius; losing Blythe was one thing, but her being replaced by Laila was just unbelievable. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make up a reason as to why it happened; he just had to wait to receive the whole story in detail after they finally managed to defeat Silas.

The skies in the northern pack had been clear for the first time in a very long time; the sun also made an appearance to make the day's weather even better. The wolves of the north all sat on logs in front of Lucius’ cabin, which was acting as the stage. Lou sat closest to the front to have a better view of the ceremony; she was just beside Haley and Nathan.The man of the hour had taken quite some time to show up, and so did Laila; various assumptions were made as to why they delayed, but they were all put to rest as the two emerged from the cabin. Lucius stood up straight with his head held high as he looked at his pack members; a sense of pride welled up inside of him as the moment he had been waiting for since he was a young boy was finally happening, and in the presence of the people he loved.Laila stood beside Lucius with a wooden bowl and paintbrush in her hands; in it was black ink that would be used for the ceremony. As the new priestess, she was the on
Laila’s message was a great shock to the wolves of the northern territory; no one could believe that Blythe was gone and was going to be immediately replaced by another. The news was more of a shock to Lucius; losing Blythe was one thing, but her being replaced by Laila was just unbelievable. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make up a reason as to why it happened; he just had to wait to receive the whole story in detail after they finally managed to defeat Silas.The news of Blythe’s passing drastically changed Lucius’ plan of attack. Initially, he believed she would be able to regain consciousness with the aid of the river wolves, and when she did so, she would be able to use her power to protect them, but seeing as it had taken a nasty turn, he did not know how to proceed. Lucius did not mean to have little faith in Laila; he was just unsure of what she would be able to do with such a short period of training. He became a man with conflicting
Ever since her connection with her wolf was a success, Laila had been putting in extra work to get closer to her goal of becoming the next priestess. With the help of her wolf and Samantha, Laila was able to heal her first wolf of physical pain; it was the best experience she ever had in her life.With much practice and patience, Laila was able to develop not just her healing skills but her spiritual form as well; where it used to take her much time to connect with Blythe, she could do it in an instant and without any hassle. Laila’s growth helped her to feel more and more like a real wolf; she felt more confident in taking her position as priestess and even more so in helping others, but there was still a pending issue on her mind that she needed to be solved.It had been days, and Laila still did not hear a single word from Lucius. No news often meant good news, but in her case, not knowing anything about what happened to him since the attack on the south was n
The North had seen more peace in the few days after the attack than they ever did in a long time since Alpha Cyrus’ passing. Lucius was able to make a quick yet steady recovery thanks to it, and thanks to the people around him, he was also able to get himself in check to focus on the things that needed his attention.One of the issues that required his focus was the use of the hunter's weapons. Because of the attack on the South, he began to rethink his stance on using them, and he had to make it known to his people. Gathering his pack members in front of his cabin, Lucius made known his thoughts and intentions.“Good morning, everyone. I hope you’ve rested well during these past few days because, going forward, we will have no rest until this fight with Silas is over; that being said, I would like to tell you all what I’ve been thinking about while I was bedridden, and I hope we can come to an understanding”With the intro out of t
Laila stared at Grandmother Alora for a long while after her response; what she was told did not bother her much, but the last part of the sentence sounded worrisome. Finding out that her wolf was angry with her was no surprise to Laila; she had felt its anger for three good years of her life, but being told that it was the kind of anger that even the all-seeing grandmother had not seen before gave her a reason to be worried.“I’m sorry, but what exactly is it angry about? Cause if you ask me, it has no right to be; I am the one who should be angry at it because it ruined my life”“I am aware; it has done quite a bit of damage, hasn’t it?”“Understatement of the century; it wasn’t just damage; it completely ruined my life”“Yes”“I could have done without it back then, and I can still do without it now”“Yes”“Sure, it’s helped me occ
In the eastern territory, Laila had been unconscious just as long as Lucius was; during that time, Blythe taught her as much as she could about plants and healing. With each lesson, Laila’s knowledge grew, which she was grateful for, but there was a side of her that wished she could learn more about the priestess’ power. Ever since she was told that Lucius might have been badly injured, she wanted to find a way to help him, even from where she was, and she believed that there was something that the priestess could do about it.Time didn’t feel like it passed by where she was; Laila had no way of knowing how many days she had spent out of her body, which bothered her. Not knowing what was happening in the real world made her anxious; she was afraid of what she was going to find when she woke up. Blythe sensed her uneasiness from the time it started but waited until much later to address it; she wanted to know how long Laila could handle her discomfort.
