Chapter 5

Author: eggy
That night, Lise found my room empty and went straight to our parents. "Elaine hasn't been back. The bonding ceremony is tomorrow."

My father was working on plans for the territory. He frowned at the sound of my name, then gave a scornful laugh. "She just wants us to come looking for her, doesn't she?

"Leave her alone. You think she'll skip her own bonding tomorrow? She'll come slinking back before the ceremony."

Standing beside him, my mother sighed impatiently. "The ceremony is tomorrow. What

  • My Sister Got My Moonsilk Vine, I Left the Pack   Chapter 9

    The next winter, I was pregnant with our pup.Campbell had a tent set up for me on the grassland. "Now you can lie in the sun without the wind getting to you. If it's cold, we can build a fire too."I lay inside and laughed at him for being so nervous.Campbell settled in beside me and gently tucked a blanket over my belly. "From now on, I'll always be here with you and the pup."After my father left that day, a lot happened in the Gray Wolf pack.My mother would sit deep in the forest for whole days, staring into space. She told everyone not to come looking for her. She just wanted to be alone.Lise couldn't stand life in the Silver Moon pack and kept running back to the Gray Wolf pack.My father wrote me many letters. He said my mother spent all day in my room, thinking about how she'd neglected me. She didn't dare bother me, but she missed me terribly and hoped every day that I'd come back to Gray Wolf pack house.At the end of his latest letter, he asked, "Elaine, will you come bac

  • My Sister Got My Moonsilk Vine, I Left the Pack   Chapter 8

    After the bonding ceremony, I officially became the Luna of the Radiant Moon pack. I kept busy running the pack every day, and little by little, I earned the wolves' acceptance on my own merits.I won first place in the spring hunt, and Nessa looked at me in awe. "Elaine, you're amazing!"I was taken aback. I hadn't competed in the spring hunt for years. My mother had been afraid I'd steal Lise's thunder, so she'd barred me from entering.But now someone was looking up to me and praising me for winning.The feast that night was supposed to be in the forest, but Campbell told me his mother had already prepared everything at Radiant Moon pack house. "You don't have to put up with things like you used to. If there's something or somewhere you don't like, just say no."I'd only been with the Radiant Moon pack for a few days, but I could feel how deeply they loved me.Every morning, Campbell's mother brought me warm milk and reminded me to be careful when I went hunting, not to wander off,

  • My Sister Got My Moonsilk Vine, I Left the Pack   Chapter 7

    The day I left the Gray Wolf pack, I followed Campbell toward the Radiant Moon pack. We reached another stretch of grassland at sunset.Campbell's mother had been waiting for us at the edge of their lands since early that day.When she saw us, she howled a welcome to the sky. "My dear Elaine, you're finally here."As soon as we met, she pressed the gemstone that symbolized the Radiant Moon pack into my hand. "From now on, this is your home. Settle in and make yourself comfortable."Campbell's little sister, Nessa, ran up to me. "Are you our pack's Luna?"I thought she might be wary of me, but she just leaned in and gave me a friendly sniff. "Welcome. We're so happy you're here!"Campbell's mother took my hand and led me inside. "You must be starving. Campbell told me about your favorite foods. Come in and have some flatbread to tide you over. The feast comes after the bonding ceremony!"A lump rose in my throat. So this was what it felt like to have someone care about me and think of m

    After Lise's bonding ceremony was over, she went to find my father. "Father, I want to invite friends from the other packs to Gray Wolf pack house for dinner tonight."My father looked at her, irritated. "Lise, Elaine is missing. Maybe another day..."Lise simply hooked her arm through his and turned on the charm. "You know how Elaine is. She's probably hiding somewhere, waiting for you to come get her like before. Father, I only get one bonding ceremony, and I'm leaving the Gray Wolf pack soon. Please say yes."My father didn't answer. For the first time, he felt that Lise was asking too much.As soon as my mother came in that evening, she grabbed a passing warrior. "Well? Any news of Elaine?"The warrior shook his head. My mother walked into my room, crestfallen, and found it strangely bare. It looked nothing like Lise's room.She opened my jewelry box. Inside were a few cheap necklaces she'd once handed me without a second thought, laid out neatly. There was nothing else.My mother

She'll come slinking back before the ceremony."Standing beside him, my mother sighed impatiently. "The ceremony is tomorrow. What kind of tantrum is she throwing?"The next day, I was still nowhere to be found in the Gray Wolf pack, and my mother finally began to worry. "Still no news? Does she even remember what day it is? Is everyone supposed to wait for her?"My father shook his head. "I've already sent people to search the grassland and the forest. They'll tell us as soon as they find anything."Lise tugged on my mother's arm and wheedled, "Mother, if we don't leave now, I'm going to miss my own ceremony."That snapped

  • My Sister Got My Moonsilk Vine, I Left the Pack   Chapter 4

    The day before the bonding ceremony, the entire pack bustled with preparations.Flowers ringed Gray Wolf pack house, and silver ribbons hung from every warrior's spear. Everything was ready for a solemn, romantic ceremony.My father was busy contacting the Alphas of allied packs, as if he wanted every pack in the land to know Lise was getting mated.My mother spent all day sorting through the things Lise would take with her, terrified of leaving out the smallest thing.The whole pack had been given an order: Lise's wishes were the Alpha's commands. Anyone who disobeyed would be driven out to live as a rogue.No one dared to neglect Lise.The bonding token Campbell had sent lay buried under clutter on the table. No one had even picked it up to look at it.And no one knew my bonding ceremony had been moved up a day.My parents didn't care when my bonding ceremony was or whether I was ready. They cared even less whether another pack would accept me.To them, I was there only to make Lise
