Chapter 34 Chapter Thiryt For The moon hung high in the sky, a radiant orb casting its silvery glow over the gathered pack. Its light illuminated every face in the crowd, shimmering on the soft rustle of leaves and the warmth of the bonfire crackling at the heart of the clearing. The rhythmic beating of drums echoed through the night, blending with the hum of whispers and the occasional human bowls.
I stood between Elijah and Isaiah, their presence like an anchor as I canned the scene. The Alpha and Luna stepped onto the raised platform, their commanding auras drawing every eye. The clearing grew quiet, anticipation thick in the air as the pack prepared to offer their prayers to the Moon Goddess.
Elijah leaned down, his voice a soft murmur against my ear. "One day, that'll be us standing there.
I turned my head sharply, staring at him in disbelief. His face was serious, no trace of the teasing smile I expected. I opened my mouth to argue, to tell him how absurd that sounded, but the weight of his words stopped me.

"Stormi?" Alex's voice was tight, laced with concern.
"I'm fine," I managed, though my voice wavered.
But I wasn't fine. My feet felt unsteady, the ground beneathswaying. Then, without warning, my body lifted into the air, an invisible force pullingupward.
Gasps and cries of surprise filled the clearing as I floated above the crowd, my arms hanging limply at my sides. Panic surged through me, but it was drowned out by a strange, calming presence that enveloped me.
A glow appeared around me, soft and shimmering, and within it, the outline of a massive wolf took shape. It wasn't just any wolf-it was ancient, and majestic, its eyes glowing with a wisdom that seemed to pierce my soul. Then cthe whispers, soft and melodic, like a lullaby carried on the wind.

The words resonated deep within me, their cadence reverberating in my ΟΜΙ bones. Now I knew what I have been I I hearing wasn't just a riddle-it was a summons, a call to something greater.
The glowing wolf let out a mournful howl, its eyes meeting mine with an intensity that made my breath catch. Then, as suddenly as it had appeared, the wolf disappeared, its light fading into the night.
My body felt heavy, the invisible force holdingreleasing its grip. The world titted, and everything went dark. Chapter Comments 1 POST COMMENT NOW SHARE
