Anna’s pov

I laughed while pacing around her little hut as I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

“No. This is bullshit,” I said with a laugh. “I don’t believe this.”

Fate. Chosen. Not everything is planned.

“That’s enough. I’m not one to believe in such nonsense. And I definitely don’t believe some weak little human was chosen over me.”

Marella sat still, holding her cup of tea calmly like nothing I said mattered. She simply looked at me with those old eyes. Eyes that had seen too much.

I pointed at her, shaking with anger. “You sit here in this dusty house talking about stars and magic. But I know what this really is. Selene is just lucky. Or maybe she tricked someone. Maybe she used some spell I don’t know about.”

She said nothing. Just took another slow sip of her tea.

“I will not,” I said louder now, “sit back and let some random idiot take my place. I was born to be Luna of this pack. Everyone knows it. Dante and I—” I stopped myself, my chest tightening.

    Dante’s pov“I have a question to ask you,” I said.“Shoot,” Jackson replied.“Do you know anyone,” I said slowly, “anyone who has a crescent moon tattooed on them?”There was a pause for a second. Then Jackson started laughing.“What’s so funny?” I said.He only kept on laughing. “You of all people should know no one is stupid enough to tattoo that on their body.”Now I was confused. “Why do you say that?”He laughed again, then grew quiet. “Because that mark is not a normal symbol. It’s not for style or decoration. It belongs to something… bigger.”I turned away from the window and dropped down onto the edge of the bed beside him. “Tell me, Jackson,” I said softly. “What does it mean?”He was thoughtful for a minute or so before he replied. “Can you remember, Dante… eight or nine years ago, when that bunch of rogues started wintering around those old logging cabins in the Bear’s Hump country?”I nodded. “Yes. I remember. They were strong. Too strong. We couldn’t take them down easil

    Dante’s povSara smiled a weak smile. “You worry like a dad already.”I looked up at the sky, watched the slow drifting clouds full of rain not yet fallen. “She’s fragile,” I told her.“She’s strong,” Sara corrected. “I can tell you that she’s taking this like a champ. So many wolves would have fallen apart. Trust me,”I couldn’t say anything as I stated ahead.“Have you seen the birthmark on her neck?” She said after a moment of silence as I frowned.I looked back at her. “What birthmark?”Sara looked shocked. “You’ve never seen it?”I shook my head. “No. Where?”“Just under her ear. On the side of her neck.”“I haven’t actually looked there.” Sara let out a slow breath. “How are we all this blind?”I didn’t say anything. She looked mad.She took a step closer. “That mark… I’ve seen it somewhere. I don’t know when or where, but that symbol means something.”I raised a brow. “What?”“I can’t tell,” she sighed.“But you said it means something.”“I don’t know yet. But I will find out.

    Selene’s pov Sara looked at me and smiled. “I knew this would happen.” I made a small frown. “What would happen?” She walked slowly to the bed. “Eventually,” she said, her voice heavy with weary resignation, “your body would start feeling them too.” Dante stood up and stepped aside to let her have room. “Don’t worry," said Sara. "It is not a bad case. You have just begun the–er–’critical’ stage." I looked at her. “What does that mean?” “It means,” she said slowly, “your body is just adjusting. You’re carrying something special. The baby inside you is wolf. That kind of child needs strength. Your body is just waking up to that truth.” “So this is normal?” I asked. She nodded. “Perfectly normal. Pain, pressure, small shocks. It’s all part of the start.” I let out a soft breath. “Thank goodness.” Dante moved closer again and touched my arm. “You hear that? You’re strong.” A knock on the door. A guard stepped in. “Alpha, you are needed.” His eyes were filled wit

    Selene’s pov “Come,” he said. “Let’s eat breakfast together.” I rose and joined him. He smiled and waited for me to move beside him. White walls were around us as we walked through the pack house, a beautiful day overseeing the windows. Some guards bowed their heads as he passed them, nodding back at them but still keeping his eyes on me. Once we reached the dining, I gasped softly. The table was full. Eggs, meats, fruits, fresh bread, cheese, sweet cakes; it looked like a feast for ten people; not two. “Is this… all for breakfast?” I asked, my eyes nearly popping out of my head. He laughed and held a chair out for me. “Yes, that’s it. A typical wolf feast.” I lowered myself into the chair and continued to gape at all the food. I watched him start to eat like he hadn’t eaten in days while i ate the meals i could contain in my belly. “I don’t think I can eat this much,” I said as he laughed. “Humans… we get full easily.” He looked at me and laughed. “I forgot how

    Sara’s povI started to get back to my abode as the wind flapped my cloak behind me.My feet made loud thumps on the ground. Not because I was tired but because I had too much in my head. That mark on Selene’s neck… it plagued me. I know I’d seen it somewhere before.I opened the wooden door and stepped into a room filled with herbs and dried flowers’ smell. Books were scattered across a table, bottles of various sizes lined up neatly beside those books and to the corner of the room, my maid was sweeping the floor with a broom in her hands. She looked up when she heard me coming in.“Welcome back, Miss Sara,” she said softly.I waved my hand at her. “No need to bow. I’m not the moon goddess.”She smiled a little and kept sweeping. I went over to the chair by the fire and sat down. My bones creaked as I settled. I wasn’t all that old but some days I felt like I was lugging around a century or two.“Fix me some tea, will you?” I asked.“Sure thing,” she said as she rushed around to make

    Sara’s povI walked into the packhouse, my steps slow and firm. I could feel the floor under me was smooth and clean. These wolves really knew how to get their chores done.The maids saw me and quickly moved out of my way. One dropped her tray and bent fast to pick it up. Sometimes I liked the attention they gave me. Other times I felt like maybe they were overreacting. But either way, I was glad they were not in my way.One of them opened a door and ran back as they were scared of me but I didn’t smile to anyone. I was living up to my name of the pack witch.I kept walking. My long black dress flowed behind me. My eyes were sharp. I could feel something today. Something strange. The wind told me something was different. I followed the scent and made my way outside, toward the garden.When I stepped into the garden, I stopped.There she was.Selene.She stood in the sun, laughing softly. A guard stood beside her. He was showing her something—his weapon, a sharp silver blade. Selene
