เข้าสู่ระบบJhoanna's POVThe dawn of the lunar eclipse felt heavy, as if the weight of the universe had settled over the Crescent Moon Pack. The air was thick with worry, each breath I took seemed harder than the last. My hand instinctively rested on my belly as if shielding the life growing within me from the chaos around us. Luna Tilly came back when she was found that day when she ran away, but her condition hadn’t improved. And, to add gas to the flame, her words haunted everyone who had heard them.“It’s not just the curse… something else is coming. Something worse.”The memory of her trembling voice sent goosebumps all over my body. I glanced out the window where the moon lingered, pale and distant, as though waiting for its moment to strike.I couldn’t sit still. Who would?The packhouse was bustling with healers and warriors preparing for what felt like an inevitable battle, yet I felt useless. Hans had tried to reassure me last night, but I saw the fear in his eyes. He’d buried it bene
Hans’ POVThe forest was cloaked in darkness, the only light coming from the slivers of moonlight breaking through the dense canopy above. The air was thick with tension, every sound amplified as we tracked Luna Tilly’s faint trail through the eastern woods. My wolf strained against me, his instincts screaming to run faster, to find her before it was too late. And to come back to our Luna as soon as possible.I’m slightly beginning to regret this now. I should be by her side as she is pregnant, but knowing her, she will hate me for it. Well, I’m also concerned with Crescent Moon’s issues and wanted to help, so the only right thing to do is to find Luna Tilly as quickly as we can.Alpha Jayden led the way, his movements quick and precise, his anger fueling his determination. Alpha Aidan followed close behind, his usually calm demeanor replaced by a sharp focus that sent shivers down my spine. They were two sides of the same coin—Jayden, the storm, and Aidan, the eye. Together, they wer
Jhoanna’s POVThe moment Uncle Aidan and Uncle Jayden learned of Luna Tilly’s disappearance, their reactions were as different as night and day, but the pain and fury they felt were equally intense. Beta Trent had barely finished explaining the situation when the air around us grew heavy with the weight of their emotions. They both released their pheromones and my mate instinctively emits his pheromones as well to shield me.Uncle Aidan stood frozen, his usually sharp gaze clouded with disbelief. His lips parted as if to say something, but no words came out. For a man known for his unyielding composure, the sight of him so utterly lost was jarring. He clutched the crumpled note Trent had handed him, his knuckles whitening as his grip tightened. “She—she used her pheromones on us.” His voice cracked, barely above a whisper. “She put us to sleep... to leave us?”Uncle Jayden, on the other hand, exploded like a storm. His roar echoed through the hall, vibrating against the stone walls an
Jhoanna’s POV“The sacrifice must be freely given, a bond of blood and moonlight, offered in complete trust,” it read. “The Goddess’s judgment will fall on the bloodline, sparing only those who prove their devotion through unity.”“Unity,” I whispered aloud, drawing the room’s attention.“What is it, Jhoanna?” Hans asked, his hand brushing my arm.I pointed to the passage, my heart racing. “It’s not just about the individual sacrifice. The Goddess is testing the bloodline itself. This isn’t just about Luna Tilly, or Uncle Aidan and Jayden—it is about Crescent Moon as a whole. The sacrifice must reflect their unity as a pack, their willingness to stand together no matter the cost.”Luna Tilly’s eyes widened, hope flickering in their depths. “You mean... it doesn’t have to be just me?”I nodded. “If the pack offers something together—something symbolic of their unity and devotion—it might be enough to break the curse without requiring a single life.”The room buzzed with renewed energy,
Jhoanna’s POVThe journey to Crescent Moon Pack was filled with tension. Hans had been quiet, his usual calm demeanor masking the storm beneath. I could feel the worry radiating off him, his protective instincts clashing with the knowledge that this curse needed to be addressed, no matter the cost.As we arrived at the Crescent Moon Pack's territory, the air was charged with unease. Uncle Jayden, Uncle Aidan, and Luna Tilly were already waiting in the grand meeting hall, their expressions a mix of curiosity and apprehension. Beside them stood Beta Trent, his arms crossed as he exchanged quiet words with mom. Luna Tilly’s gaze flickered to me, filled with hope and desperation.Hans and I stepped into the room, the ancient manuscript clutched in my hands. The moment I entered, the room fell silent, all eyes on me. It was as though they could sense the weight of what I carried.“What have you found, Jho?” Uncle Jayden asked, his voice steady but lined with tension.I stepped forward, unf
Jhoanna’s POV The days that followed were a blur of research and restless determination. Between morning sickness and the heavy weight of wanting to help Luna Tilly, I barely had time to catch my breath. But I couldn’t stop—I wouldn’t stop.Luna Tilly deserved better than whispers of failure and the crushing weight of an unknown curse that we aren't even sure is real and it is something she couldn’t control.While Uncle Jayden, Dad and Hans focused on their respective pack's immediate needs, I found myself drawn to the dusty, forgotten corners of our Midnight pack's library.Hans wasn’t thrilled about me being here alone of course, but with Samuel and Beta Trent busy combing through Blood Moon Pack's records, and Mom and Uncle Aidan deep in Crescent Moon’s archives, I convinced him to let me take this task on. More like compromised because I am surrounded by some of our pack members.The library smelled of old paper and aged leather—a comforting scent despite the daunting task ahead.
