The pack formed a defensive line, Alpha-level warriors at the forefront. I stood on the central platform, able to observe the entire situation.Soon, the first wave of attackers appeared. Marcus's description was accurate – they were indeed 'neither human nor wolf.' Half-human, half-wolf forms, but not like a normal shift, more like they had been forcibly twisted and deformed. The most unsettling thing was their eyes – entirely black, without a trace of white or pupil."Moon Goddess preserve us," an elder whispered. "They are cursed."The attack began suddenly and violently. These creatures charged our lines, their movements surprisingly fast, their strength extraordinary.Battle erupted instantly, screams and roars filling the night sky. The pack fought bravely, but soon discovered these creatures had a terrifying trait – they seemed to feel no pain, continuing to attack even with fatal wounds."You have to destroy their heads!" Marcus yelled in the midst of battle. "Otherwise, they w

A massive rift appeared in the sky, the Blood Moon's red light becoming even more eerie as it shone through. A colossal figure leaped from the rift – it was a black wolf, but its size was more than triple that of a normal werewolf, its entire body radiating black-red energy.When it landed, the entire ground shook. All fighting paused at its appearance; friend and foe alike stared in terror at this behemoth."Kaelen..." I whispered in disbelief.Because even though it had become so strange, so terrifying, I would never mistake those eyes – golden yellow, now mixed with blood red, but still Kaelen's eyes."Once Kaelen, to be precise," Lyra explained, a hint of fear in her tone. "Now, he is the Shadow Lord's herald, the perfect warrior, reformed by the Fissure."The giant wolf – Kaelen – looked around, its golden-red eyes scanning everyone. When its gaze fell on me, I felt my heart skip a beat.Was that Kaelen? Was the man I knew still in those eyes?"Master..." Lyra stepped forward, her

One year later.The setting sun painted Nightfang territory in shades of gold and red. I sat on a high lookout, watching Orion play with the other cubs on the grass. He was a little boy now, his development astonishingly fast – a trait of pure Alpha blood."He won again," Marcus walked over to me, smiling and pointing at the field. "Third time. The other kids are no match for him."I nodded, watching Orion once again take the lead in a small hunting game. He was only a year and a half old, yet already displayed a natural leader's charisma. Dark hair, golden eyes, a determined little chin – Kaelen's spitting image."He's becoming more like his father every day," I said softly.Marcus was silent for a moment. "Today's the anniversary."I nodded. A year ago today, Kaelen had disappeared before our eyes again, to seal the Fissure."Preparations for the Moon Trace Ritual are complete," Marcus continued. "The pack is very much looking forward to it. This is the first time we're holding such

"We miss you every day," I said to the figure in the water, tears welling in my eyes. "Orion has grown so much, he… he's a lot like you."The figure in the water extended a blurry hand, as if wanting to touch us, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.Just then, Orion suddenly spoke, his voice clear and firm. "Daddy says he's finding a way back."I looked at my son in surprise. "You… you can hear him speak?"Orion nodded. "In my head. He says he loves us and has been looking for a way home. But it's very dark over there, and it's hard to find an exit."The pack members whispered in amazement. Such direct soul-to-soul communication was extremely rare, only possible between relatives with an incredibly strong blood connection."Ask him… how much longer?" I asked carefully.Orion closed his eyes, seeming to listen. "He says… time is strange over there. It could be a few days, or it could be a few years. But he will definitely come back."The figure in the water became unstable, the ligh
