He growled. Astra pulled the two girls' hair and they screamed letting her go before she banged their heads together and flung them at Cassandra. She then took a metal hair stick from her hair and grabbed one of the girls, giving her a tear at the back of her neck. Kicking them in the shins, she grabbed the other two one by one and gave them a cut at the same place. She then stood straight as she looked down at them. "I, Tomasi Astra, Alpha Izan's mate and the Luna-in-Training of New Dawn pack, banish you three in the name of the moon goddess for the disrespect to her name and the Alpha of your pack."

Her thick fur, a seamless blend of obsidian and smokey grey, shifted with each graceful movement, as if the night itself draped around her. But it was her eyes that held the true enchantment—twin amethysts glowing with an inner fire, deep pools of wisdom and untamed spirit. They gleamed like fragments of a twilight sky, holding secrets whispered only to the wind. Ah, I never knew that she could turn me into a poet, but I guessed that was what true love made you do. As a Gamma, Esther was the perfect balance between strength and strategy; a silent storm capable of turning into a tempest in an instant. Her flexible yet powerful frame moved with effortless precision, each step a dance of calcul

But still… I’m the one left standing when the dust settled. And she’s the one who vanished. I hug my knees tighter, curling myself. Like I can unfeel this weight crawling under my skin. I wanted to be happy. I wanted this. So why do I feel like the villain in her story? Just then, a voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Hi, I'm Aria, the Alpha's sister. You must be Elena." I blinked, stunned. For a moment, I thought I hadn’t heard her correctly.

“You never truly severed it. He rejected you, but the Moon didn’t accept it.” Dax’s voice cut like steel. “Aria. Now.” I shoved Kieran into the tunnel and dropped after him, sliding on wet stone. The seam above us slammed shut with a final thud—sealing out Rowan’s voice, sealing out the tracker’s roar. For three heartbeats, there was only darkness and my own breathing. Then, from deeper in the tunnel, another voice spoke—female, amused, dangerously calm. “Welcome,” it said. “We’ve been waiting for the ashbound to fall into our hands.”

"I preferred it when you were nicer." Jane laughed. "I was never nice." Training ended shortly before lunch. Everyone began heading back toward the mansion. I was drinking water near the training field when someone approached. "Aria." I turned and found Daniel smiling at me. He was one of the younger warriors who lived at the mansion. He was friendly, easy to talk to and always seemed to be in a good mood. "Hi." "How's the ankle?" "Better." "Good." Daniel looked toward the stables. "I was actually looking for you."

I don't think I have ever seen anything quite as beautiful. The professor clears her throat as she scans the room. Her gaze falling on mine just along enough to make my skin crawl. Something flashing in her eyes that I don't quite recognize as she continues to scan the room. Weird. "I am Professor Cecillia Starling. This is my bonded, Aries," she says as she gestures to the moon serpent who has now taken place alongside where she stands. She continues, "Yes, I possess gifts granted to me by Aries. No, I will not be telling you my gifts. My job is to simply teach you everything you need to know about the bonds."

"I know, but Damon…" My mother had suddenly appeared at the door, attracted by the brewing noise; her eyes had grown wide as she spotted Damon and Cassandra half-naked. "What is the meaning of this, Damon? Annie, why are you sobbing?" Cassandra seized the opportunity. She pointed at the pizza I mistakenly spilled on the floor. "Look, Mrs. Scarlett! Your ‘precious’ daughter tried to sneak in and attack Damon! She's trying to get obsessed with him! She doesn't want to accept that the Alpha already chose me. Your daughter keeps doing crazy things even when I'm the true Luna. I have been waiting for this poor thing of yours to leave him for me!"

We get a little nod from her. We work back to back now with the little girl in the middle of us. We were fighting for so long that the light had now faded from the sky and night was upon us. Asher came running from the tree's towards us. Slashing beast after beast as he past them. He jumped on top of one of them and pulled his neck backwards until their was a loud crack and a now floppy headed beast lay on they floor. He reached me and Arizer. "Sorry I have only just been able to join the fight, I hate summer waiting for the night to come. I have been hearing the battle and hated not being able to help in anyway and not know if you were safe or not Keira."

What a very tantalizing choice and made Astrid's heart feel doubtful. Astrid bit her lip nervously. If she hadn't met Draco, Astrid wouldn't be this nervous. She would agree to the proposal steadily. But since Draco had filled her life, something had changed in Astrid. At this point, all she wanted was to get back to Draco's side. "I’m afraid I have to refuse the offer. I am currently Amicus from Draco Black. I want to go back and fight by his side. That's what I want the most right now,” Astrid answered earnestly without hesitation.

Tafari let out a pleased howl in my mind right after the voice was heard. ~”It’s mate…She wants to talk to us both”~ He said with a wag of his tail in my mind. I smiled and replied -“Hello there”.- There was silence for a few moments before I heard her reply. ~”It’s nice to meet you both. I am Arya. I am Artemis’s wolf.”~ She said with a soft voice and I could almost visualize her in my mind. “It’s nice to meet you Arya. I am Armand and my wolf is Tafari.”
