Ravena, now Selene, smiled cruelly as she left the pack house. The arrow wasn't laced with poison but a substance that would make him weak for a period of time.By the time he wakes up, she will be long gone. And the effects will wear off eventually.With a hint of resentment in her voice, she muttered to herself. “ So. . . my death was staged… Just to give Vulcan more power? Whoa. Wow just.” She could still hear Kieran's words: ‘The Book of Dark Shadows’, which was kept secret in the elders’ quarters, the old library. Although she once heard of it, she had never dared to visit. It was a sanctum that only Vulcan and the selected elders were allowed to enter, making it forbidden territory. It was a death sentence to be caught trespassing. However, she no longer feared death. Under her boots, the ground crunched as she trudged forward. Next came a rustling noise. Her body tensed. Her eyes darted into the shadows as her hand automatically grasped the hilt of her sword. The forest

With each step, the bells toll faded in the background. They trudged along a narrow forest path, breathing heavily and there was silence between them. The smell of leaves and damp earth permeated the cool air. Every few minutes, a dry twig would break beneath their boots making an unusually loud noise in the silent forest. Selene occasionally winced, as the dull pain in her knees brought back memories of the blow Vulcan had delivered. Every time she took a step, the throbbing pain continued to travel up her legs. Gritting her teeth and using the pain as motivation, she pushed forward. The raging fire within her was far worse than the pain. Her senses were heightened, and her fatigue was pushed aside by the controlled burn and concentrated energy. She was now closer to the answers she had been denied for so long, closer to the truth.The book brushed against her side, reminding her of her mission. Vulcan and everyone involved in her death would soon pay for their actions. Justice

Inside the great council hall, the air was filled with tension.Every Alpha, the leader of each pack, had been called to this secret meeting. The reason was not disclosed to them.Rylan took a seat at the far end of the long table made of dark wood. He had his hands clasped together on the table before him. His gaze was fixed on his hands. The other Alphas were whispering to one another but he didn't notice them. A loud creak came from the enormous doors at the front of the hall. Everyone paused the conversation to look. Kieran came in.It had been two days since Selene’s attack. It seemed like a lifetime ago. He had feared death for two days. He believed that his eyes would never open again. However, his severe wound healed to his surprise. There was no scar on his skin. But there was a heavy burden inside his heart. This burden was far greater than any physical pain.As he entered the hall, he looked around the room. The entire world appeared to stop moving when his eyes met Ryl

Two months later. The war was over. The twelve wolf packs were at peace for the first time in centuries. Packs who had once disagreed with each other were allies now.By fighting together, they had won the war. All of the packs came together that evening for the celebration of the moon festival.Their newfound peace was celebrated with a very special party in Ridgewood. Lights hung from the large trees. The stars were sparked by large fires that blazed far into the sky. The sound of drums, flute, music, and the joyful laughter of kids and friends filled the air. Both the delicious aroma of meat and a well-cooked meal filled the air.Selene stood on a tall wooden stage, her gleaming silver attire looking like moonlight. She raised a cup filled with wine. And spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear. “You are all welcome,” she said, her gaze sweeping over every face in the crowd. “We are gathered here to commemorate our victory against Vulcan. And to celebrate our alliance. We ha

Early in the morning, the compound was filled with low murmuring sounds. Selene stood in the centre of the compound. She was fully prepared for the trip but her heart was racing.This was the most difficult trip she had ever taken. She stood with Kieran, Ethan, and Rylan. All of them were prepared and armed. Their friends and some pack members gathered to bid them farewell. Bethar was the first to stand up. He looked at Selene with gentle eyes. And gave her a tight hug. “My Luna, I hope you travel safely,” he muttered. “Return to us in one piece. The pack needs you.” With a slight smile, Selene hugged him again before withdrawing gently. “Thank you Bethar. Watch over the pack in my absence.”“I will,” he promised. With a respectful nod, he took a step back. Fea came next. She had a very anxious expression. And refused to let go of Selene. “Please, you have to be careful out there. It's not safe anymore,” she said in a hushed tone.Selene smiled at her. “I will be alright and I wil
