ELARA’S POV

I felt the shattering of the wards in my mind before they shattered all around us. It was as if a dome shaped invisible barrier was hit by something strong and it began to collapse.

I looked around and saw shards of ice – like magic falling from the sky, but dissolving before it could reach the ground. It was the ward shattering.

But how could they do that? I could perceive black magic, but who could do that here? Was it Nyxar? He shouldn't have been able to access the wards, it was

  • REJECTED BY THE ALPHA, CHOSEN BY THE MOON   The darkness returns

    ELARA’S POVI felt the shattering of the wards in my mind before they shattered all around us. It was as if a dome shaped invisible barrier was hit by something strong and it began to collapse.I looked around and saw shards of ice – like magic falling from the sky, but dissolving before it could reach the ground. It was the ward shattering.But how could they do that? I could perceive black magic, but who could do that here? Was it Nyxar? He shouldn't have been able to access the wards, it was impossible.The moon slowly began to dim as its job was done. I looked around as the last tendrils of the moon's essence floated around a bit before dissolving into thin air. The ritual had been successful.But we couldn't celebrate now, something had breached our walls, and if it was who I thought it was, it would have to be a full blown war.I turned to look at Beros, who had stopped pacing too, and was watching what was happening, everyone had gone still, it was as if the wolves could sense

  • REJECTED BY THE ALPHA, CHOSEN BY THE MOON   Moon and darkness

    ELARA’S POVSoon, it was night time which meant it was time for the blood ritual of the moon to be performed, but there was a feeling I couldn’t shake off. I didn’t know if this was excitement from the anticipation of performing a ritual that hadn’t been performed in an impossibly long time or a feeling that something might go wrong. I decided to shake it off and pay it no mind. Today wasn’t the day to dwell on any unnecessary feelings, Beros and I were fine again and there was work to be done with my wolves.I felt him behind me before he placed both hands on my shoulders. “How are you feeling Elara? You’ve been quiet” Beros said, running a hand down my arms, effectively warming me up.I turned to face him. “I feel alright, I’m excited for the ritual, but there’s this feeling…” I shook my head slightly, as if that would shake off the weird feeling “I just can’t shake it off”.“What feeling is that?” His hands stopped running up and down my arms.“I don’t know Beros, it’s just a wei

  • REJECTED BY THE ALPHA, CHOSEN BY THE MOON   Reconciliation

    ELARA’S POVI stiffened as I heard his voice. What was he doing here? So that’s why Alicent had been smiling all along. But how didn’t I notice him, I would have felt him through the bond –oh that’s why he made it impossible for me to feel him through the bond, because I would have known he was coming here. I turned to face him slowly. He stood there smiling as if everything was well with us. I plastered a mask of indifference on my face.“Beros” I said through gritted teeth.“Elara?” He said too, his voice low and confident.“What are you doing here?”“You left without me”. Huh. Was he crazy? He was the one that literally didn’t want to talk to me.“Huh?” I cocked my head to the side, desperately wishing he wouldn’t say what would piss me off right now. Alicent had riled me up enough and I would not hesitate to transfer all that aggression to Beros.“I said, you..left…without…me” he said again, emphasizing the words.“You must be confused” I frowned, tucking my arms in again. “Very

    ELARA’S POVThe time for the ritual was slowly approaching and the dread on most of the alphas and wolves faces had slowly shifted to one of anticipation.It made me happy, although I could still see that some of them were wary about it, that would be resolved this night once the ritual was performed and power from the moon had flowed into all of them.I went outside and watched as all the wolves rallied around, gathering wood for the fire, clearing the arena that would be used for the ritual, preparing food and drink.Alicent saw me and walked up to me.“Well, it seems like it’s all working out” she said, coming to stand beside me.“It sure is, I really want to change their mind about it. I want them to know I would never have allowed such a ritual exist…”“Yeah, but you weren’t existing, so don’t beat yourself too much about it” she turned to face me “I can already see the frown lines on your forehead, you’re overthinking things”I let out a long breath “I know, I just can’t seem to

    ELARA’S POV“The blood ritual of the moon, is that even real?” Alpha Gerald asked in shock. The other alphas eyes widened as he asked, repeating what I had just said.“Yes, it’s real. And tonight, it will be done. To strengthen the bond between us, and strengthen us for this war” they all kept quiet, even Alicent beside me had stiffened.“What’s wrong?” I asked, noticing the horrified looks on some of their faces.“Someone say something” I asked again, when no one seemed to move or say a word.“Your highness, it’s just that, most of us have banned that ritual for decades”. Alpha Gerald answered, refusing to meet my eyes.Why? Why would they ban a ritual? It was supposed to be done yearly.“Why?”Alpha Gerald shifted uncomfortably in his seat for speaking again “well, we deemed it barbaric”“What exactly about it is barbaric?” What the hell was going on here? Why would they deem one of the strongest rituals as barbaric?“We don’t – we value the lives of everyone in our packs, so…we do

  • REJECTED BY THE ALPHA, CHOSEN BY THE MOON   Blood ritual of the moon

    ELARA’S POVAlixent explained to me that Alpha Graham was the Alpha of one of the strongest packs in the east. That explained his pride. She also said he was prone to causing trouble and always trying to rule over the other alphas, which of course, didn’t sit well with the other alphas, leading to most of their fights. I tucked this information away as we got into the makeshift meeting hall.In the hall, all the alphas sat round a table, their Lina’s seating beside them, leaving a chair at the head of the table unoccupied, as they should. I walked to the chair and sat down.Alpha Gerald was the first to speak up. “Your majesty, thank you for gracing us with your presence”. I simply nodded. I was in no mood for small talk now. I needed to tackle the issue with these alphas and make them see reasons to work together.Disagreements and fights would only make it easier for Nyxar to strike. This was what was happening with Beros and I too, I shook the thought out of my head, this wasn’t wh
