Becoming Luna
Waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
But for now… for this moment… the pack was mine. Their respect, their loyalty, their prayers, their gratitude—they surrounded me like armor. And I let them fill me with strength, even as I kept one wary eye on Chester, who looked like a coiled serpent waiting for a chance to strike.
The contrast couldn’t have been sharper—the pack celebrating, offering thanks, full of life and hope. And Chester, silent, sharp, dangerous, and boiling beneath the surface.
I let a slow, subtle smile play across my face. Let him watch. Let him simmer. Because he would need more than envy and ambition to take what was mine.
