Bayle was finally dragged before everyone. The entire Werewolf Council stood assembled in formal robes, their faces carved in stone. At the head of the chamber sat Alpha Leo, his eyes storm-dark as he watched the traitor being brought in.

Bayle stood in chains, blood crusted at the corner of his mouth, yet defiance still flickered in his eyes.

“Bring the prisoner forward,” Leo commanded, his voice as sharp as steel drawn in silence.

Bayle was shoved to the center of the chamber, where the ancient seal of judgment burned faintly beneath his feet, etched into the stone floor, pulsing with old magic.

Leo's gaze swept over the council. “He betrayed his kind,” he said. “Now speak what punishment befits such a crime?”

An elder moved to the forefront and declared, “Use the ancient runes to bind him. Cut his connection to the moon and make him bear the burden of his betrayal.”

One of the council members then suggested, “Or we could banish him. Drive him away from our territory and let him roa

    Weeks had passed. Peace wrapped around the pack like a warm cloak. Leo and Aliyah ruled side by side, strong, united, and deeply in love. The pack had never known such balance.But peace does not grow in every heart.Hidden away in her chambers, Luna Rosetta stood by the window, staring into the forest beyond. Her face was calm, but her eyes burned with old wounds and buried rage.An elderly man, one of her loyal followers, bowed low behind her."My Luna... you truly believe sending her back to the Lycan community is the best solution?"Rosetta didn’t turn. Her voice was sharp and cold."Yes. I won’t have her near my son any longer."The elderly man hesitated."But… this hatred you carry, how sure are you that she’s truly the daughter of your enemy?"Rosetta’s voice was steady but laced with old pain."The very first day she stepped foot into this pack as a child, I knew. She looked exactly like her mother did when we were young. The same eyes. The same face. The only thing that’s dif

    The arena pulsed with anticipation as the final trial came to its end.At the center stood Aliyah, her breath steady while the silver runes beneath her feet glowed with quiet power.One by one, Beta Rylan and the Elders descended from their elevated seats. The crowd parted in silence, awe in their eyes. From above, Alpha Leo and Luna Rosetta observed, their expressions unreadable.The Head Elder stepped forward, his voice rich with age and power, echoing across the space.“Aliyah, daughter of moon and fang. You have fought with courage, led with instinct, and risen where others have fallen. Before the pack and the ancient spirits, we name you Luna.”He lifted a pendant—curved, carved of moonstone and bone—and placed it gently around her neck. As it settled against her skin, a single howl rang out from the Elders. Then another. And another.Soon the entire pack joined in, their voices weaving into a deep, unified cry—a song of welcome and recognition.Aliyah closed her eyes, letting th

    The much-anticipated day of the final Trial of the Luna Contest had finally arrived, and the entire pack thrummed with excitement, eager to find out who would be crowned the new Luna. Aliyah, Zaya, and Belinda stood poised and ready, their nerves tight yet their hearts unwavering, bracing themselves for the challenge that lay ahead. As the sky turned purple with twilight, the pack gathered around the stone arena. Glowing symbols lit up around the edges, giving off a strong, calm feeling. Alpha Leo and Luna Rosetta sat together, looking serious and hopeful for the one they supported. High above, the Elders sat quietly, their faces hard to read. This was the ultimate trial, an experience unlike any that had ever been documented or prepared for. With an air of authority, the Head Elder rose, his long robes sweeping across the stone floor as he lifted a curved staff adorned with brilliant silver symbols. “For the final challenge,” the Head Elder declared, his voice booming across the

    Leo hadn’t seen Aliyah in days. The competitions had kept them apart, and with the final one just two days away, he could hardly contain himself any longer. He’d requested Rylan to discreetly bring her to his chamber.A few moments later, the chamber door creaked open. Rylan entered, glancing around anxiously, with Aliyah following closely behind him.Leo sprang to his feet the instant he spotted her.She dashed toward him silently, and he met her halfway. They collided in a tight embrace, relief, tension, and desire enveloping them as if it were their second skin.They held each other for what felt like an eternity, savoring each other's presence.“I missed you,” she murmured, her voice muffled against his chest.“I thought I’d lose my mind without you,” he replied softly, his breath brushing through her hair.When they finally separated, their eyes locked. Time seemed to stand still. The last time they’d looked at each other like this was prior to the first trial.“You made it this

    Next was Zaya. She entered the chamber with elegance and quiet pride. Throughout the contest, she had remained distant, speaking to no one, always observing, always alone.Meanwhile, Aliyah sat nearby, struggling to steady herself. Her vision blurred, and her thoughts felt sluggish. She clenched her hands in her lap, trying to will the dizziness away before her name would be called.Moments later, as Zaya exited the chamber with her usual grace, Belinda returned, this time holding a small cup of herbal tea. Without hesitation, she offered it to Aliyah.“Drink this,” she said gently. “It should help.”Aliyah took a sip, the warmth spreading through her as she tried to calm her nerves.Just then, Rylan’s voice echoed across the chamber.“Aliyah.”Belinda gave her a reassuring tap on the shoulder. “You’ll be fine. The tea will kick in soon.”Aliyah nodded, took a deep breath, and stood walking slowly, but determinedly, into the trial chamber.---Aliyah's Trial – The Illusion of Fulfillm

    Later that night, all the female contestants were summoned as Beta Rylan addressed them.“You were each given two questions,” Rylan began, his voice steady and firm. “Some answered with clarity. Others faltered, either through silence, deceit, or fear.”He paused, scanning the group carefully.“Of the thirteen who stood before the elders, four have failed. The rest have proven themselves worthy.”Rylan raised his hand, eyes sharp.“If you hear your name, you advance to the third trial.”A tense murmur rippled through the group as hearts pounded in anticipation.Rylan called out the names: “Tania, Zaya, Aliyah, Belinda, Jasmine…” and continued until he reached the ninth name.Those whose names were not called bowed their heads quietly and left.Aliyah felt a rush of relief, a heavy weight lifting from her chest.Belinda, however, showed little emotion about her success. Instead, she approached Aliyah and congratulated her. But Aliyah noticed something in her expression, an unreadable e
