ANMELDENThe Mark Beneath Her SkinThe forest did not feel the same anymore Raine stood at the edge of the territory long after Klaus spoke, his words lingering in the air like something that refused to fade “someone this world was not prepared for” she couldn’t take the work off her mind, laugh it off and dismissed it like everything else he said that didn’t make sense but she couldn’t because something inside her something new, something growing had begun to recognize the truth in his words.After awhile of both of them standing in silence watching the forest She exhaled slowly and turned back toward him “You say things like that,” she said, her voice quieter now, less defensive, “but you never actually explain anything which keep me more confuse each time.”Klaus didn’t move.“I explain what is necessary not whats unnecessary.”Raine frowned. “Necessary for who? You?”“For your survival.”That answer again Raine shook her head, frustrated.“You keep saying that like it’s the only thing that m
The Luna They Did Not ExpectThe pack watched her differently after the fight Raine felt it before she even saw the shift in the environment subtle but undeniable. Where before there had been curiosity, suspicion, even quiet judgment Now there was something else, attention and not the kind she wanted.She walked through the central grounds of Ice Moon Pack with her shoulders slightly stiff, head bowed down a little, walking fast like she was in a haste, aware of every glance that followed her. “They’re staring,” she muttered under her breath.Zane, walking beside her, didn’t even try to hide his amusement. “Well,” he said casually, “you did kind of throw a fully grown attacker across the field with energy no one’s seen before so everyone is surprised and most look.”Raine shot him a look. “I didn’t throw anyone, neither did I throw a fit, I couldn’t control my body at that time.”Zane raised a brow. “Right. The air just politely pushed him away while your hands where raised.”Raine
The Awakening of a LunaSilence fell over the battlefield, not complete silence, there were still distant clashes, the sound of bodies hitting ground, grunts of people falling, wailing, the low growls of wolves locked in combat but around Raine, around them, everything seemed to pause like the world itself was watching.Raine stood frozen, her hands still trembling faintly with the fading glow of silver light. Her breath came uneven. She looked at her hands, pushed them forward and spoke in a shaky voice. “What… Did I just do that?” she whispered again, barely able to recognize her own voice.No one answered immediately because no one had expected or seen it happening so soon, not even Klaus, he stepped toward her slowly, his gaze locked onto her hands monitoring her posture and body movements as if he were seeing something sacred or dangerous. “You responded to the bond,” he said at last.Raine shook her head quickly. “No, I reacted without thinking that’s not the same thing.”Klaus
The moment the shadow burst through the trees, everything stopped feeling like training, it became real.Raine’s breath caught in her throat as chaos erupted across the Ice Moon Pack training grounds. Warriors shifted instantly, bones cracking, bodies expanding, fur breaking through skin as wolves emerged in their full, terrifying forms.She stumbled backward. “What is that?!” she shouted, panic tightening her voice.Klaus didn’t answer immediately.His entire body had already shifted subtle, controlled, lethal. His stance alone changed the air around them.Danger became focused. “I told you not to move,” he said, voice low.Raine glared at him despite her fear. “That’s not helpful right now!” She shouted Zane appeared beside Klaus instantly, already half-shifted. “It’s not one,” Zane said sharply. “It’s a breach group.”Klaus’s eyes darkened.“How many of them?”Zane scanned the forest. “At least twenty. Maybe more.”Raine’s stomach dropped. “Twenty what?”Klaus turned slightly toward
CHAPTER 4 The moment Klaus touched Raine’s wrist, the world shifted. It wasn’t subtle this time. It was violent. A surge of energy cracked through the space between them silent, invisible, but powerful enough that Raine felt it in her bones. Her breath caught sharply as her body reacted before her mind could understand what was happening.Klaus froze completely. For the first time since she met him, he looked unsettled.Not weak. He never looked weak but this time affected.Raine pulled her hand back quickly, like she had been burned. “What… was that?” she whispered.Klaus didn’t answer immediately. His gaze stayed fixed on her wrist, where his fingers had just been. “The bond,” he said finally.Raine stepped back. “Stop saying that like it’s supposed to make sense, since I arrived you have told me about this bond over a million times .”Klaus’s eyes lifted slowly to hers. “It does not need to make sense, unless you will to understand” he replied. “It exists.”Raine shook her head. “
CHAPTER 3 Raine didn’t sleep that night. She sat on the edge of the fur-lined bed, staring at the stone walls as though they might suddenly shift and reveal an exit. Every sound outside the chamber made her tense. Every distant step reminded her she was not in her world anymore. And the worst part? No one seemed to be coming for her living all by herself had made unsafe this At dawn, the silver sky outside the narrow window slowly brightened. The light didn’t behave like sunlight in Hill Town it was softer, almost glowing, like the world itself was lit by the moon even in the morning.Raine pressed her palm against her chest.That strange pull was still there. Faint now… but alive. She hated that she could feel it.A knock came. She didn’t answer immediately.The door opened anyway. Klaus Romano stepped in.Raine stiffened instantly. “You don’t knock?” she snapped.Klaus looked at her briefly. “You are not imprisoned.”Raine gave a dry laugh. “That’s funny, because I didn’t choose to b
CHAPTER 2Raine woke up to silence, not the kind she knew. Not the quiet of Hill Town where distant cars hummed through the night. This silence was heavier.Alive.She tried to move but pain shot through her body, and she gasped softly.Her eyes fluttered open. Above her was not a cracked ceiling or
The streets of Hill Town were quieter than usual that night. Raine Sinclair pulled her jacket tighter around her body as she stepped out of the small office building where she worked. The summer air was warm, but a strange chill followed her every step, like something unseen had decided to walk bes
