Under the watchful eye of the Moon Warriors, Ciara and Scott walked into an area hidden behind a cliff. The entrance to the place was in a cave covered by thick trees. No one would know the way in if there was no one guided.The well-built man who had spoken to Ciara earlier walked in the front row. He occasionally looked back, maybe to make sure Ciara and Scott didn’t cause trouble.Torches were set every few meters along the passage walls, illuminating their way. When they came to the other side of the cliff, a village stretched out in the valley, so beautiful with grassy fields, a blue river running through the middle of the village, and the snowcapped peaks of the mountains in the distance.This place reminded her a bit of the Black Stellar territory but with a unique beauty.They continued walking towards the center of the village, becoming a spectacle for the villagers, who never seemed to see anyone other than their own kind.The group turned into a large dull white stilt house

“Yes, of course.” Ciara nodded confidently. “This isn’t my home… and even though they are my birth parents… I don’t feel the kinship that I did at Silvercrest.”Scott smiled at her words. “You won’t regret your decision?”“Absolutely not.” She pressed her hand to his cheek. “My home is where you are, Scott.”*After the conversation, they returned to the welcoming party and Scott kept a close eye on Ciara, so she didn’t drink anything but water.The night came unnoticed; the party continued and now it has moved to a square in the middle of the village. More and more people came. It was as if during the night the population of the Moon Warriors multiplied.Dendra insisted on forcing Ciara to wear one of the village’s signature clothes, a straight-cut dress made of silk decorated with beads and colorful stones on the neck and cuffs.The two of them were in Dendra’s room, preparing Ciara’s appearance to be exhibited in front of the residents. Dendra put on make-up on her face and styled

Everyone at Moon Warriors sent Ciara and Scott off with joy.Dendra brought Ciara lots of food and wine, and Scott warned her to only drink the wine when she was with him. Dendra, who heard this, narrowed her eyes and said, “I think I know why you forbade her to drink alcohol.”Rai embraced Dendra gently, then looked at his wife’s face. “She really is your descendant, yes? Even her behavior when drunk is the same as yours.”“If I’m not drunk, maybe we couldn’t have Ciara,” said Dendra.And they both burst out laughing, but Ciara could only lower her head in embarrassment with a red face.Scott’s car had been repaired as if it had never broken in the first place. He looked amazed and asked Cail how he could repair the driver’s door of the car that was badly damaged yesterday.“A bit of magic here and there,” Cail said lightly, followed by a mysterious crooked smile.At that point, Ciara believed that the Moon Warriors did have special things over other werewolves, and it wasn’t just ab

And imperceptibly, days had passed. Ciara had fallen under Nova’s charm, and for the first time, she listened to and obeyed someone in that place.Ciara didn’t interact much with people here, and none of them caught her interest. They seemed gloomy with stern faces and rough behavior. But Nova was different.Her heart raced every time he appeared. There was a fresh and calming scent about him that could mask the unpleasant smell of the cleaning fluids she despised. He always smiled whenever he entered her room, bringing new things to show her every day.Today, he brought some new items she had never seen before. She thought they might be tools for a series of tests.But it turned out they were called a television and a VCD player.“We’re going to watch a movie,” Nova said, followed by his usual sweet smile. “Have you ever watched a movie?”“Are you mocking me?” Ciara replied curtly.Nova laughed. “Sorry.”A few minutes passed, and Ciara sat quietly on the bed, observing Nova setting u

Ciara concluded her story with a smile. She wiped away her last tears that evening and stroked the grave marker of Nova, bidding him farewell.“We’ll visit her occasionally,” Scott said.They walked side by side, Scott embracing Ciara, and Ciara hugging Scott around the waist as they headed towards the car.“That day... I don’t know what would have happened to me if it weren’t for you finding me,” Ciara reminisced, as the car drove away from the cemetery.“You would have become a captive for sure. They would have tortured you or even killed you. A rogue is one of the pack’s archenemies, and there is no mercy for those who dare to trespass into our territory.”“But you spared me.”“Because my wolf forbade me to harm you.” He glanced through the corner of his eye. “I guess our wolves have a strong instinct about each other.”When they arrived at Silvercrest, a stack of tasks awaited them.For the next few weeks, Ciara and Scott were occupied with their respective activities. Scott was p
