My door cracked opened, i was still on my soft and fluppy made bed rolling from one angle to the other. It was an early hours of the morning, which i expected no one in my room. who is there? I asked , still using my hands to rub my eyes off for sight clarity which bring out tear of which i know It was a usually thing, my eyes clearly opened but no answer to the question i asked. Raising up my eyelid, it is the luna of Silvermoon pack. I quickly jumped out of my bed getting towards her and i asked "mother, are you okay? I asked with my voice filled with concern. Yes i am, i only came to inform you that your brother is coming back today. Freya, the luna said . "OMG" i exclaimed joyfully. Mother, you didn't tell me this since yesterday,i said frowning my face but sided with a beam of smile. So sorry my dear Liv, i was informed yesterday night and it was late to come over to your room to inform you. "Freya whispers as her face shows remorse and her voice felt sorry, hugging me. Okay mother, so now i am going to prepare for him his favorite dishes right? I asked walking toward the furnished wardrobe with modern wooden craving. " of course Liv, you'd know what your brother likes most. the luna said, heading towards the door as she takes her leave. Well, it going to be a cooking session in full. I stated. I changed from the silken purple nightgown i wore to a jeans and tube top after having a quick warm bathe. I walked downstairs to the kitchen, " Good morning miss Olivia " the maids said in chorus. "Liora, pass me the Apron, let us begin with the cooking,I said to the chief maid. Soon, we begin the cooking in full. Even beneath the thick, stone walls of the main kitchen, the morning chill seeped, mingling with the rich, aromatic steam rising from colossal iron pots. Fires roared in deep hearths, casting flickering shadows that danced like restless spirits across the faces of the pack's dedicated cooks. Knives chopped with rhythmic precision on heavy wooden blocks, the scent of roasting meats and simmering herbs filling every corner of the vast space. Today was not merely a meal; it was a ritual, a celebration of their leader's homecoming, a symphony of preparation orchestrated by me,the Alpha sister . Every wolf in the Silvermoon Pack felt the hum of anticipation, a low, primal thrumming beneath their skin that transcended the biting air. For months, their Alpha, Ronan, Thorne, had been absent, honing his mind and instincts in ancient territories far beyond their mountain borders. His return marked a shift, a rebalancing of their world. He was the anchor, the very heart of their strength, and his presence, even before he set foot within the palatial walls, was already a palpable force. Beyond the kitchen, the palace itself, a sprawling edifice carved into the side of the highest peak, stirred with a quiet energy. Guards moved with a crisper purpose, their eyes constantly sweeping the perimeter. The air vibrated with unspoken expectations, the subtle tension of a pack awaiting its powerful, dominant leader. Mother, moved through the palace with a grace that belied her underlying excitement. Her silver eyes, sharp and intelligent, oversaw every detail, from the arrangement of the feasting tables to the burnishing of the ceremonial blades. She had missed her son, i also felt same,but more than that, We both felt the urgency of his return, the tightening knot of destiny. Verily,The pack needed its Alpha. And soon, they would need an heir. The thought, cold and firm, settled in my heart as i watched the sun begin to paint the eastern sky in hues of fiery gold, signalling the approaching dawn and, with it, the imminent return of her formidable son.โ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐Months flowed into a vibrant tapestry of peace and prosperity. The war against the Shadow Wielders felt like a distant, harrowing dream, a crucible that had forged us, but no longer defined us. Silvermoon thrived. The palace, once a fortress braced for attack, now echoed with the joyful sounds of pups learning to shift, the laughter of warriors training in the sunlit Grove, and the lively chatter of a pack flourishing in unprecedented harmony.My days were a fulfilling rhythm of leadership and connection. I walked the territories, not just as the Alpha Lost Heir, but as a vital part of the pack, using my elemental powers for healing, for growth, for balance. I helped cultivate stronger crops with the earth's energy, purified distant water sources with a touch, and even guided the winds to ensure safe passage for our scouts. The Heartstoneโs essence had fully integrated within me, a constant, pure wellspring of power that felt as natural as breathing. My scar, now a fa
โ ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐The days that followed our return to Silvermoon were a whirlwind of activity, a necessary chaos of rebuilding and healing. The immediate aftermath of war was always grim, but this time, it was tempered by an overwhelming sense of triumph. Our healers worked tirelessly, their magic bolstered by the collective relief that settled over the pack. Construction teams repaired battle-scarred walls and homes. Every wolf, from the oldest elder to the youngest pup, seemed to carry a renewed light in their eyes, a testament to the peace we had fought so hard to reclaim.Olivia, though still recovering from the immense drain of purifying the Heartstone, was a radiant presence. Her exhaustion slowly receded, replaced by a vibrant energy that hummed just beneath her skin. I watched, mesmerized, as her connection to the elements deepened even further. She would walk through the Grove, and the trees seemed to lean towards her, their leaves shimmering with a subtle, responsive energy. Sh
โ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐The march back from the ravaged Blackwood Peaks was a stark contrast to our hurried ascent. It was slower, measured, filled with the quiet murmur of weary warriors and the rhythmic tread of paws on the healing earth. The air, once heavy with the stench of corruption, now carried the clean, sharp scent of pine and fresh snowmelt, a promise of renewal. The mountains themselves seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, shedding the lingering shadows of the Shadow Wielders.My own recovery was gradual. For the first day, I mostly slept, nestled against Ronanโs side in a makeshift camp, the profound exhaustion from channeling the Heartstoneโs power keeping me in a deep slumber. But each waking moment brought renewed strength. The immense, pure elemental energy the Heartstone had imparted flowed through me, a constant, invigorating current. My senses felt sharper, my connection to the elements deeper than ever before. I could feel the earth breathing beneath my paws, the subtle c
โ ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐The silence that descended upon the ravaged ravine was more profound than any battle cry. It wasn't the silence of peace, not yet, but the stunned quiet after a deafening storm. The air still carried the acrid scent of burned magic and displaced earth, but the overwhelming stench of corruption was gone, replaced by something clean, almost sterile. The twisted stronghold of the Shadow Wielders was now a ruin, a heap of shattered rock and dust, a testament to Oliviaโs raw, purifying power.I held Olivia close, her body trembling with exhaustion. She was utterly spent, a feather-light weight against my strength, but her eyes, though heavy-lidded, shimmered with a profound triumph. Her breathing was ragged, but steady. The constant hum of the Heartstoneโs purified energy now flowed through her, a vibrant undercurrent that settled my own wolf."Are you alright, Liv?" I murmured, tucking her head against my shoulder."Justโฆ tired," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "So
โ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐The enemy's retreat became a desperate rout. Ronanโs tactical brilliance, combined with our unified strength, was overwhelming. We surged through the Blackwood Peaks, the land itself seeming to shed its oppressive cloak as we advanced. The weakened illusions flickered and died easily under my sharpened senses, and the few essence-draining attacks that reached us were like faint static against the vibrant hum of my Heartstone-infused power.The air grew heavy once more, but this time with a different kind of oppressive force. It wasn't the pervasive sickness of their passive corruption, but the concentrated, malevolent power of a cornered beast. Ahead, nestled in a deep, jagged ravine, stood their stronghold. It wasn't a fortress of stone, but a grotesque tangle of blackened, warped trees and jagged obsidian-like rock, all woven together by thick, shadowy vines that pulsed with dark energy. At its heart, a swirling vortex of deep purple and sickly green light churned,
โ ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐The dawn broke cold and clear over Silvermoon territory, but the air thrummed not with the usual tranquility, but with the raw, potent energy of a united wolf army. Thousands of wolves; Silvermoon, Crescent Moon, Starfall, and others who had heard our plea, stood ready. Their fur ruffled in the brisk wind, their eyes gleaming with grim determination. They were battered, weary from the constant skirmishes and the psychological warfare, but hope, now a tangible force, burned in their gazes. The Heartstoneโs purification had ignited it.I stood before them, my Alpha voice resonating with power drawn from every wolf gathered. "Today, we take back what is ours! Today, we end the blight that seeks to consume us all! They have weakened, their source of corruption severed. We strike now, with the purity of our elements and the strength of our unity!"A thunderous roar answered me, shaking the very foundations of the mountains.Olivia was at my side, her presence a potent counter
