Ciara tried not to think too much about Hayley and the fact that they would spend some time together tonight.She focused on the training she was undergoing and the activities were quite enjoyable indeed.After Chris gave a briefing in the hall, the coaches divided them into groups and Ciara was happy that she was in the same group as Vaire.Each group ran around the streets outside the downtown area of Black Stellar. Compared to Silvercrest, Black Stellar had more green open spaces in the city, as well as rivers and stunning expanses of grass. Not to mention the waterfall that flows from the cliff and when the road they were walking was close to the waterfall, the splashes of water wet Ciaraโs hair and face.โThis is fun!โ cried Vaire in a whisper as they ran together.Ciara nodded enthusiastically. She kept from telling Vaire that she was in the same room as Hayley and would be on patrol with her later that night. She didnโt want to spoil Vaireโs mood and didnโt want to make it a bi

Bethโs warning made Ciara uneasy throughout their patrol trip. She kept stealing glances at Hayley and her friends, in case one of them suddenly attacked her or said some nasty words.But nothing happened until they reached the top of the hill, and the path forked into three. Michael ordered them all to stop.โWe split from here,โ he ordered. He pointed toward each streetโs branch, and then at one of the groups. โYou guys go over there.โ Then he pointed at the other two groups, including Ciaraโs group, and directed them down the remaining two forks.After Michael finished dividing the area, he said, โIf anything happens, the Black Stellar pack members in each group can contact me via the mind link.โHe studied them one by one before speaking again. โI will go around from one group to another to check on the situation. Stay calm and pretend you are patrolling your own territory.โEveryone nodded in the direction, and Michael ordered them to walk to their respective patrol areas.Ciara

Ciaraโs vision turned black and white. She saw the dim faces of Beth and Bianca standing at the edge of the canyon with panicked and frightened expressions as her body continued to slide down.The unbelievably hard impact forced her lungs to jolt the air out before the frigid water submerged her and covered her entire body. She choked on water as she tried to breathe. Her lungs, esophagus, and stomach were filled with freezing water.The swift current curled up against her and made her feel like a dead log, continuing to carry her down the canyon, and as her hands tried to reach the surface, the current pulled her back down.In just a split second Ciara raised her head to look around, and in front of her stretched the vast night sky. She heard a distant rumbling and ahead a landscape stretched out. Ciara didnโt understand why the river suddenly disappeared until her body crashed into a waterfall.Ciara screamed as the water took her into a free fall, but her voice was muffled by the s

โTell me what happened.โCiara was now in the same room as Chris, Michael, Scott, and the rest of her team.It was Chris who called after Scott took Ciara to the medical room to check on her condition. The smell of cleaning fluid and syringes made her sweat and her heart rate quickened. And Scott, who realized this, took her out as soon as the doctor said she was fine.โSheโs gone mad,โ said Hayley. โSuddenly she was acting like a psycho and attacked us. We tried to stop her, but she jumped off the cliff instead.โCiara looked at the faces of her teammates one by one. There was no Beth among them.โWhereโs Beth?โKenzieโs eyebrows arched up. โDid you forget? You attacked her until she was seriously injured!โKenzieโs words made Ciara flinch. โI didnโt hurt her! Or any of you!โ she cried defensively.She got up from her chair in a fit of emotion, but Scott held her back.โSee? She even lost her memory of what happened last night,โ Tania added. โThereโs always a reason why a werewolf be

โWhat?โ That was one surprising fact that made Ciara dumbfounded. โAre you sure about it?โโYes. The doctor said that. She wonโt regain consciousness for at least the next three days.โThat meant Beth would not be returning to training. Because by the time she woke up, this joint training would have been over. If it was Hayley who planned all of this, her method was really, really sneaky.If Ciara conveyed this to Scott, Scott could have asked the coaches to conduct a search. And Hayley must have taken that into account. She could have dumped evidence into the canyon on the night of the incident, or worse yet, sheโd embed the tools she used to attack Beth into Ciaraโs belongings, cementing her position as a suspect even more.Ciara couldnโt act rashly. She needed to stay calm and entrust the next process to Scott. She wasnโt alone; she told herself.โLetโs go,โ Vaire said. โYou havenโt eaten yet, have you?โโI canโt leave yet.โ Ciara pointed toward the door behind her. โI have to wait

That meant Ciara would fight Hayley, Kenzie, Tania, and Bianca.Even though Ciara knew what Hayley and Biancaโs fighting skills were like, and Rousel said Kenzie and Tania were terrible warriors, she still shouldnโt underestimate them.And actually, there were other things she was more worried about than defeating them.Her stomach was churning as Chris broke up the line and gave the participants ten minutes to get ready.โLetโs go to the bathroom. Donโt pee your pants in the middle of the fight,โ asked Vaire. She took Ciaraโs hand and squeaked, โYour hands are so cold!โ when their skin touched.Ciara pulled her hand away from Vaire and looked worriedly at her. โIโm so nervous,โ she mumbled.โWhy?โCiara hesitated to say it. Until finally she quibbled. โWhat if I lose?โEven though Ciara was definitely nervous, she couldnโt tell Vaire the truth. So she had to lie.Vaire stared blankly at her, then gave out a laugh that drew the attention of those around them. โYou? Lose to them? Serio

Hayleyโs wolf was smaller than Ciaraโs. So Ciara could easily get rid of Hayley from above her and now the position is reversed. Hayley yelped as Ciaraโs four sharp claws dug through her fur and stabbed into her flesh.Hayley rebelled, but Ciara was unshakable. She grinned, then opened her mouth and lifted her muzzle, ready to plunge it into Hayleyโs exposed neck because she couldnโt stop moving.โDonโt kill!โ Chris shouted from the touchline and Ciara momentarily recovered from hearing his voice.Ciara jumped back, releasing Hayley from her grip.Trembling, Hayley pulled away and struggled to her feet. Blood ran down her fur and splattered on the ground.Ciara waited for Hayleyโs wounds to heal before they attacked each other again.Itโs like going back to the beginning, Ciara thought.So far, her control over her wolf seems to be only superficial. She couldnโt really get her wolf to submit and obey her. And if she failed to do so here, she wasnโt sure sheโd be able to vanquish her w

The joint training that Ciara had so far brought her so many emotions. But she was happy because, on her last day, she could live it with a smile.Her new roommates were lovely. They made her laugh at their antics. The other participants now knew her as one of the strongest warriors, and she once again proved that she deserved that title.When the coaches held a battle between groups this morning, her team won all the battles, and she was ranked first out of all the participants.The battle between the teams finished right at noon and all the participants were now heading to the dining hall to replenish their energy. Rousel was in charge of finding an empty table while the others lined up to get their lunch.โThanks,โ Rousel said as Vaire handed her a tray of lunch.They all started having lunch. This time, they sat down with Bethโs friends from Black Stellar.โHowโs Beth?โ Vaire asked Denis.โSheโs better. Itโs just that she canโt be talked to yet,โ answered Denis.โThatโs great,โ sa

Ciaraโs hand, which was gently rubbing Scottโs arm, fell limp upon hearing that. โWhat are you saying? Whatโs that supposed to mean?โ She couldnโt think. She didnโt know what filled her mind right now. It was as if her brainโs functionality had been hindered, and she couldnโt draw conclusions from the reality Scott revealed. โNova...,โ Ciara murmured, uttering the name with confusion. โYou... and Nova...?โ โYes. Weโre siblings. Nova is my brother. A brother I never knew I had.โ Ciara covered her mouth with both hands. It was too impossible to be called a coincidence. Nova had indeed mentioned that Silvercrest was the pack where her mother came from, but Ciara never imagined he had a blood connection with Scott. โI was as surprised as you when I found out about it from my mother,โ said Scott. He shook his head. โIt turns out my sibling has been looking out for you, Ciara. She saved you, my mate, from hell.โ Ciara didnโt know why she stood up and walked to the riverbank, but she

Thereโs a nook beneath the cliff they had passed earlier. A stretch of white sand extends along the river with clear water as emerald as gemstones. An expanse of forest stretches on the opposite bank of the river, and thereโs a large shady oak tree right next to the nook.Ciara sighed in amazement at the sight. A perfect place.โThis is just the beginning,โ Scott explained. There was a hint of proudness in his voice. โWait until nightfall, and youโll witness something much more beautiful than all of this.โCiara furrowed her brow at Scottโs explanation. She was curious. โWhatโs going to happen?โ Then she looked at the sky and remembered the expanse of stars in the Moon Warriorsโ territory. โAre we going to see the stars?โโMore than just that,โ Scott murmured. He winked, and Ciaraโs heart trembled at the sight.Scott led her into the large nook near the oak tree. There, he invited her to sit on the sand. He stretched out his legs and looked towards the river.โThis is the perfect plac

โI was looking for you,โ Ciara replied. โLouis came to me and Godrick, crying. He said you were missing, and he was terrified.โ Ciara looked Margo up and down. โBut seems like youโre okay. What actually happened?โMargoโs face appeared flushed. She bent her knees and hugged them, placing her chin there. โI... Iโm okay,โ she murmured. โI just wanted to... disappear for a while.โCiara sighed. She took a seat next to Margo and sat with her. They both gazed towards the river. โWhat happened?โ Ciara asked. โWill you tell me?โMargo picked up a stone near her foot and threw it towards the river. โIโthis is embarrassing,โ she said, shaking her head. โIโm not sure I can tell you.โโTell me. I wonโt judge,โ Ciara assured her. โAnd whatever happened to you is important. Just like you, I wonโt take it lightly.โMargo stared at Ciara for a while. โI... I actually like Deck.โThat wasnโt surprising. However, to spare Margoโs feelings, Ciara feigned astonishment. โOh, really? Since when?โMargo sh

โBut Iโm not done,โ Ciara said. โI still have to train them until later this afternoon with Godrick.โScott frowned upon hearing her mention Godrickโs name. โWho schedules your activities?โโWe schedule them together.โโIf thereโs a rescheduling, I wonโt allow you to be paired with Godrick in anything.โCiara could only roll her eyes and choose to ignore Scottโs protests. His jealousy was entirely unfounded.โWhat time will you be finished?โโAt four in the afternoon.โโThen weโll meet at home later in the evening, okay?โCiara nodded, closing her eyes briefly. Scott leaned forward and kissed her forehead. โSee you later, then.โHe waved and walked away. Shortly after Scott left the main base, Godrick opened the office door and approached Ciara. โIโve been peeking through the window, waiting for him to leave,โ he grumbled. โHeโs really annoying.โโDonโt you act like that toward your partner?โGodrick looked surprised at Ciaraโs question. He blinked and then shook his head. โMe? Do you

Ciara waited patiently, but after their meeting with Mila, Scott had yet to fulfill his promise to take Ciara around. Until now, she didnโt know what the continuation of their plans regarding the coupleโs ritual would be like.โCiara, watch out!โSomething rushed towards her and almost collided with her. Swiftly, Ciara jumped to the side, avoiding the attack and successfully saving herself from the onslaught of an uncontrollable wolf.They were having a routine competition among patrol team members, and now it was a match between Deck and a new member named Louis. The one who had just lunged at Ciara was Deck.After the match ended, Deck ran over to Ciara.โIโm sorry!โ he exclaimed, bowing. โI didnโt mean to attack you!โGodrick walked behind him and pressed the young manโs head. โBow deeper,โ he commanded, pushing Deckโs head further down, almost to his knees.โGodrick, stop it,โ Ciara said, glaring at Godrick.Godrick gave her a grin and released his hand from Deckโs head.โYou were

Ciara concluded her story with a smile. She wiped away her last tears that evening and stroked the grave marker of Nova, bidding him farewell.โWeโll visit her occasionally,โ Scott said.They walked side by side, Scott embracing Ciara, and Ciara hugging Scott around the waist as they headed towards the car.โThat day... I donโt know what would have happened to me if it werenโt for you finding me,โ Ciara reminisced, as the car drove away from the cemetery.โYou would have become a captive for sure. They would have tortured you or even killed you. A rogue is one of the packโs archenemies, and there is no mercy for those who dare to trespass into our territory.โโBut you spared me.โโBecause my wolf forbade me to harm you.โ He glanced through the corner of his eye. โI guess our wolves have a strong instinct about each other.โWhen they arrived at Silvercrest, a stack of tasks awaited them.For the next few weeks, Ciara and Scott were occupied with their respective activities.

That day was the day Ciara basked in the sunlight. She wasnโt truly outdoors, as she had always dreamed, but in a glass-roofed room revealing the blue sky and sunshine. As usual, Nova was with her.Today, he didnโt bring anything, but his presence beside her was more than enough to make her happy.โDo you like being under the sunlight?โ he asked as they both sat in a patch of warm golden light.She looked up and raised her hand, shielding her eyes from the brightness. โYes. The sun and the sky become refreshing colors to my eyes. They are something special.โ Then she gazed at him. โYou must see them every day, right?โNova didnโt answer immediately. He just stared at Ciara with his gentle gaze that always made her heart race. โYes... I see them every day to the point where I take them for granted.โCiara smiled faintly. โIn that case, we have a different perspective on whatโs special.โNova nodded. He then lifted his face and made the same motion as Ciara. As they both lowered their h

And imperceptibly, days had passed. Ciara had fallen under Novaโs charm, and for the first time, she listened to and obeyed someone in that place.Ciara didnโt interact much with people here, and none of them caught her interest. They seemed gloomy with stern faces and rough behavior. But Nova was different.Her heart raced every time he appeared. There was a fresh and calming scent about him that could mask the unpleasant smell of the cleaning fluids she despised. He always smiled whenever he entered her room, bringing new things to show her every day.Today, he brought some new items she had never seen before. She thought they might be tools for a series of tests.But it turned out they were called a television and a VCD player.โWeโre going to watch a movie,โ Nova said, followed by his usual sweet smile. โHave you ever watched a movie?โโAre you mocking me?โ Ciara replied curtly.Nova laughed. โSorry.โA few minutes passed, and Ciara sat quietly on the bed, observing Nova setting u
