It has just been two days after Rylan attacked Lyra. Lyra’s wound healed quicker than the others; she was extraordinary, of course. She possesses healing powers. Since the incident, Lyra had been training; she was angry that she couldn't defeat Rylan.She smacked harder and pushed with frustration. “If I can't protect them, who will? I was saved for a purpose, and I couldn't achieve that.” Lyra cursed at herself.“Take it slow; you will overcome it. You just have to unlock your inner strength.” Crystal, her wolf, advised.“I've tried several times, but nothing, nothing is working.” Lyra screamed in her head, a whirlwind of emotions heaving her chest.“Lyra! Lyra!” Lily, Lyra’s closest friend, called out, bringing Lyra back from her thoughts.“Hey, don't be too hard on yourself.” Lily said, patting Lyra’s back. “You haven't had breakfast, and it's lunchtime already; come and eat something.” Lily said, more like a command, leaving Lyra with no form of refusal.The village was in eeri
Chapter Thirty It's been a week since Rylan stalked the village borders. Though he hadn't struck yet, the villagers were still on high alert.The forest has been a place of fear since Rylan stalked. Lyra, stubborn yet obedient, still went to the forest for a run.“I really want to run in the forest, and besides, there's no sign of the rogue coming back now.” Lyra said with pleading eyes.“Lyra, it's still not safe. What if something happens to you?” Patrick asked with concern.“Don't worry, I'll be back quickly.” Lyra promised a quiet smile.Her smile was a little contagious; Patrick chuckled and said, “Go ahead. I'll cover so that Elder Owen doesn't find out.” “Thanks a lot.” Lyra appreciated it, her gaze full of gratitude.The forest was full of life and vitality; everywhere was calm. After taking a deep breath, she began to run fiercely, her speed increasing.Exhausted Lyra didn't head home; walking through the forest with green lush trees, Lyra felt a presence, a presence simila
The darkness was peaceful and quiet except for the rustling of leaves, movement of small creatures, and the wind that blew steadily. But this silence carried a hint of menace. It was a warning-like feeling that tingled through the surface of many yet was veiled. In this darkness stood Rylan, his wide physique mystic in the dark. His deep blue eyes, like the ocean, glowing in the forest. He was handsome; his profound jaw tightened. But his presence wasn't ordinary anymore; he had changed. This world had grooved him into what they call a rogue, a castaway, a betrayer, and a beast. Under all of these were flaws that no one dared to disclose. Rylan once belonged to a pack; he was the beta of the pack. Working alongside the Alpha, he was completely loyal to the pack, but the pack feared him, even the Alpha. He was quite powerful, his strength surpassing any other wolf. He was held accountable for treachery and accused of other crimes he never committed. The wolves he fought for shed
It was another bright morning in the village Lyra resides in. Lyra the young girl, banished, rejected and unwanted was now reborn, not only that she could heal people, she possessed special ability others didn't possess, her fighting skills were top notch, she could speak with nature. Little by little Lyra was building herself training on the grounds. As her mind swirled past all she had suffered, she added more strength. “Stop! ”Elder Owen ordered, noticing how fierce she looked. Lyra inhaled deeply, calming herself down. She struck again, this time with agility, strength, and focus. Sweat was running down her back, evidence of how much effort she was putting in. “Child, you're getting better, but your reflexes are slow. You need to think faster than your opponent. Study your movement precisely as you act.” Elder Owen lectured, a sly smile on his lips; he is proud of Lyra. Lyra, exhausted and tired, sighed. “I'll retire now and continue tomorrow.” “Of course, go ahead
He stretched out his hands to reach for hers; Diana's body was weak, but she leaned on him. She looked at the man, his calm demeanor and chiseled jaw, and then his unfamiliar scent hit her, although it was soothing.“You're a member of the Silver Moon pack, right?” He inquired.“I'm not a member anymore; I've been exiled.” Diana replied with the little strength she had.“Oh, so that's the case.” The man responded.“You must be thirsty; drink this water.” She suggested offering her a bottle of water.Diana hesitated, but considering her current situation, she had to trust the stranger and drink the water. Immediately her tongue tasted the water; it rejoiced as her once dry throat had water flowing through it. Her thirst was high, so she finished the whole bottle.“Thank you; I'm grateful for your help.” Diana said, expressing her gratitude towards the man.“No need to worry; you’re in safe hands.” The man reassured her, holding onto her as they roamed the forest.“How much longer do w
ONE WEEK LATER Diana has been in a state of unrest, pacing around her room. Her mind has refused to remain calm. What her eyes had seen was tormenting, and she was stuck with what to do. Well, Kael and Natasha were back from their vacation. “Alpha, welcome back.” Liam said with a welcome gesture, shaking Kael's hand. “I'm glad to be back.” Kael replied. “Welcome back, Luna.” Liam greeted Natasha. She smiled and then walked in, heading to the Alpha's quarters. “Everything has been in control since you left, but there's one thing.” Liam said, lowering his voice. “The woman Diana has been doing some dirty business I believe might be of harm to the pack.” “I'm not so sure, but her communication with those outside the pack is alarming.” Liam reported to Kael. “We will look into that soon. I'll be in my quarters.” Kael said and left. Diana stood up from her bed sweating bullets, her heart beating rapidly, her lips pale, and her head aching. She paced in her room. Then decided in
