Forgotten Luna

Elsa’s POV Lightning struck through the dark sky as rain pattered on the ground. “Run, Elsa, run!” I could hear my mother scream in the midst of the confusion. The flashes of thunder let me see the carnage as dead bodies laid on the ground. The Heads of wolves decapitated from their bodies, littered the ground. My father knelt some distance away with an enormous wolf, swiping his head from his shoulders. My mother's calls came once more. “Elsa, run!” I turned in her direction, watching as they dragged her away from me. The sound of horses sounded from my back just as a flash of lightning lit up the sky. I turned around to face a swinging paw, knocking me into a swiveling darkness. I woke up screaming with my hands flailing into the sky. “Another nightmare,” I muttered to myself as I dropped the sheets from my body. I was soaked in my sweat as I stepped out, feeling the chilly wind of the night. “Elsa!” Damian called out as he burst into my room. I wrapped my clothes around my

Elsa’s POV The rain poured through our dilapidated castle, even as we huddled together to ward off the cold. I couldn’t say much for myself as I stood outside, listening to the thunder roll. My first transformation had me overcoming the fear of my dreams with a fear more palpable and in front of me.“I killed a human,” I said as I stared into the distance.“It was your first time,” Damian said, like he meant to comfort me.I heaved a deep breath as I could see eyes staring at me. My little ragtag group of werewolves accepted me more. They believed I was more of a wolf than a human after what they saw when Damian brought me home. We barely escaped whatever those human had for us, trudging under the rain back to our hideout to escape.“What’s happening?” I asked as howls sounded, with people stepping out. The rain faded with growls sounding behind me and in front of me. “Elsa,” Damian called as he moved towards me, dragging me behind the line.The people came out with a male leadin

Caspian’s POV.Our retreat was hasty, as we had lost most of our fighters with them.“I can’t believe this,” I muttered as we trekked to the pack.“Do we go back and ambush them?” Someone asked, almost like he was mirroring the thought of the rest of the men present as they murmured their assent.I turned to him with glowing eyes. “We barely survived their attack and you want us to go there? To do what? Die when we could call for reinforcements.”He lowered his head as all of them stopped behind me. “Going back to the alpha is the same thing.”I sighed as I realized his words were true. Alpha Hector never took defeat lightly, and punished those who failed accordingly. “We will take whatever punishment he gives to us.” They murmured at my answers but none of them disobeyed, following behind me until we got to the castle.I walked into the throne room. My knees, knocking together as I stood in front of him — alpha Hector. “What are the reports from your journey?” He asked from his thro

Damian’s POV.“They have to stay,” Elsa said, giving her answer to Dennis concerning the issue.I had nodded at her when he agreed to give to her the silver dagger. A symbol of leadership passed on from former leaders, or taken by those who deemed themselves fit. For the first time since we runaways banded together — it was in the hands of someone who had alpha blood running through her veins.“I will pass the information to the pack, but we would need to do more if we want to keep this number of people here without starving.She turned to him, “we have some of our people raiding far distance villages for meat, haven’t we?”“That doesn’t determine they would come with more loots for us to manage. It is only a matter of fact we have going for us,” Dennis answered as he picked a scroll, pushing it open on a table.We walked together to him, staring at the scroll. It was a map of the place, crudely done but was able to identify where we were and important places.“Hope is enough to keep

Elsa’s POV“I agree to be your luna, but I cannot have us stay here,” I said as I looked around.“What would you have us do, Luna?” The old man asked as everyone stood. “This is the only place we have known as home. We come back here no matter how many times we get attacked, hoping someone from his blood will come.”“I am here now, and I would not want you to remain here in perpetual danger.” I said as I looked at the surrounding people.“I hope you aren’t doing the very thing I think?” Dennis asked, stepping closer to me.I turned to him, watching the people from the corners of my eyes. “They cannot stay here.”“Neither can they join with our increasing number at the castle,” he pointed out. “We have over two hundred people waiting for us, and we are yet to add another two hundred mouth when we can not feed those at home.”“I appreciate your insight, Dennis, but with more hands. We can protect ourselves better,” I said as I turned to them.“More hands, equal more mouth.”I nodded as
