Rosa's POV

"Who is she? Why keep an exiled wolf?"

"Keep it down! Alpha Rylan brought her back himself."

I lay in the Sunstone pack’s medical den, weak but awake. Four days had passed. My wounds were starting to heal, but the whispers around me never stopped.

"I don't need your pity," I told the female wolf who came in to change my dressings.

Lyra, the Sunstone pack's head healer, paused. "We don't give pity to outsiders, only treatment to the injured."

"Then thank you for your professionalism," I said quietly.

"Why would the Shadowmoon pack banish their own Luna?" Lyra couldn't help asking. "Even the worst Lunas are rarely stripped of their title."

"Because some people matter more than the truth."

Our conversation was cut short by a tall figure appearing at the cave entrance. Rylan walked in, bringing the morning chill with him.

"You look much better today, Rosa," he said with a slight smile.

I nodded in acknowledgment. Rylan’s smile was warm but respectful, completely different from C

    Rosa's POVThree days later, an exhausted messenger arrived from Shadowmoon territory."Luna!" He fell to his knees before me. "Disaster has struck the Shadowmoon pack! Please, you have to help us!""What happened?" Rylan asked.The messenger looked up, his eyes wide with terror. "The Greymountain pack teamed up with rogues and launched an all-out attack while we were weak. The Alpha is badly wounded, and the pack is scattered. Without your help, the Shadowmoon pack will be wiped out!"I looked at Rylan, torn. This was my former pack, people I once cared for."You want to go, don't you?" Rylan asked softly."Not for Carlo," I said. "For the innocent pack members."Rylan nodded. "Then the Sunstone pack will go with you."We reached Shadowmoon territory. The sight before me was heartbreaking.The once-thriving pack lands were devastated. Dens were destroyed, campfires were out, and the air was thick with the smell of blood and fear."Split up and search for survivors," Rylan ordered the

    Rosa's POV"What are you thinking about?" Rylan asked, gently stroking my hair.Two months had passed. The Sunstone pack had completely accepted me. And the feelings between Rylan and me had grown stronger every day."Thinking about things I shouldn't," I answered softly."Memories from your past life?""Lessons from my past life," I said with a wry smile. "Trusted too easily, got hurt too deeply."Rylan took my hand. "Rosa, I'm not Carlo."His directness startled me."You never say his name," Rylan said. "But I can feel his shadow still hanging over you.""I thought I’d let it go.""Letting go isn't the same as forgetting," Rylan said. "Scars heal, but they don't disappear."I looked into his sincere eyes. There was none of Carlo's bossiness, only equality and respect."The moon will wane, the sun will set, but my heart will always be for you," Rylan said suddenly, his voice solemn.My heart sped up. This was the ancient vow of the Sunstone pack for declaring love."Rylan, I—""Don't

    Carlo's POVCarlo led his best trackers, following the blood trail."Alpha, the trail stops here," one tracker reported. "But there's the scent of the Sunstone pack."Carlo sniffed the air, catching the faint scent of Rosa, fighting the urge to cross into Sunstone territory."Go back," he finally ordered. "Send scouts to keep watching."Three days later, a scout returned in a hurry."Alpha, we found her!" the scout reported excitedly. "Rosa's alive! She's with the Sunstone pack!"Carlo’s heart skipped a beat. "How… how is she?""She looks… good," the scout said, hesitating. "The Sunstone pack seems to respect her a lot. She healed their pups.""Rylan and her…?" Carlo couldn't finish the question."Alpha," the scout reported in a low voice, "Rosa performed some kind of powerful ritual during a border fight. She helped the Sunstone pack beat back the Greymountain invaders. The whole pack sees her as a hero.""And?" Carlo's voice was hoarse."She and Alpha Rylan… they’re very close. After

    Rosa's POVI felt what Rylan was hinting at in his words but said nothing.The next day, I was heading out with some herbs to treat an injured wolf, not noticing a female wolf with a knife coming up behind me.In a flash, a dark shape shot past me. It was Rylan.He grabbed the attacker’s wrist with incredible speed, and the dagger clattered to the ground."Nina! What do you think you're doing?" Rylan practically roared.The young she-wolf struggled, her eyes full of hatred. "Outsiders don't belong in our pack! She'll bring bad luck!""Enough!" Rylan snarled, his voice carrying a fearsome authority.I bent down, picked up the dagger, and sniffed the blade. "Dragon's Tongue toxin. Enough to kill three adult wolves."The pack members around us gasped and stepped back."Lock her up," Rylan ordered, and a couple of warriors immediately dragged Nina away."The Sunstone pack never disrespects a guest." Rylan turned to me, his eyes apologetic. "I will deal with this seriously.""You saved my l

    Carol's POVOlivia froze. "I just became Luna, and you're treating me like this because of your ex! Don't you forget, you chose me!""Get out! All of you, get out of my way!" Carlo roared, shoving pack members aside as he stormed into his private den.The chaos of the last three days had worn him out. Olivia’s incompetence was glaring, and the pack's simmering discontent was spreading like wildfire. That morning, a pup she’d treated was still feverish, almost didn't make it."Why is this happening?" Carlo whispered, slamming his fist against the stone wall. The pain of his knuckles cracking actually cleared his head a bit.Rosa would never have made a mistake like that.He rummaged through a chest, looking for any healing notes he might have missed. At the bottom, there was a small, hidden compartment he’d never noticed. Inside lay a small, worn leather-bound booklet.He opened the first page. Rosa’s neat handwriting met his eyes: Forbidden Rituals – Personal Notes, Do Not Read.Carlo
