Moonlit Betrayal: Lone Wolf 36
ArianaToday is the night of the full moon.The moon hung high in the sky, casting its ethereal light upon the forest as Lucas and I continued our training. The connection with our wolf forms had grown stronger over time, allowing us to navigate the dense underbrush with grace and agility. The night air was cool against my skin, and the rustling leaves provided a soothing backdrop to our movements.As we practiced our combat techniques, the distant howling of wolves reached our ears. My head tilted, and Lucas and I exchanged curious glances. "Did you hear that?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Lucas nodded, his eyes scanning the area. "It sounds like wolves. Let's check it out."We followed the sound deeper into the forest, our senses heightened. The howling grew louder, yet something about it seemed off—unnatural. It was as if the howls were a twisted melody, haunting and otherworldly.Then, abruptly, the howling ceased, leaving an eerie silence in its wake. We exchanged pu

ArianaFinding Estella's bracelet in the forest yesterday always worries me, and a small voice interrupts my thoughts. Elara tugged at my hand with a pout on her face. "Mommy, Daddy, you've been so busy lately. You never have time to play with me."I crouched down to her level, my heart melting at her adorable expression. "I'm sorry, sweetheart. Mommy and Daddy have had a lot on our plates recently. But we promise to spend more time with you, okay?"Elara's pout turned into a bright smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "It's okay, Mommy. I have a new friend to play with now."I raised an eyebrow, curious. "A new friend?"Elara nodded eagerly. "Yes! His name is Ethan, and he's really nice. He's the grandson of Elder Dawson from the Blood Moon Clan."Lucas chuckled, his eyes twinkling. "Oh, really? And what do you and Ethan do together?"Elara's face lit up as she recounted her adventures with Ethan. They would explore the woods, play hide and seek, and even have picnics. But what c

ArianaMy victory had left Seraphina bitter and furious, her eyes seething with jealousy and resentment. As I walked through the clan grounds, I could feel her gaze burning into my back.My father's change in attitude towards me was both surprising and unsettling. Gone were the days of his indifference; now, he treated me with an air of respect and reverence. I couldn't help but feel conflicted, wondering if his newfound support was genuine or merely a result of my recent triumph."You think you've won, don't you?" she sneered. "But I know your true intentions. You've conspired with the Blood Moon Clan to steal my birthright!""Father, she must be cheating, her wolf is fake, all this is a conspiracy between her and Lucas!"I met her gaze, my own eyes steady and resolute. "Sister, you know that's not true," I replied, my voice calm. "My only goal was to prove my worth and protect our clan."She scoffed, her laughter bitter and mocking. "Protect the clan? More like steal the Alpha posit

ArianaMy heart pounded in my chest as I stood at the heart of the turmoil, watching my mother's once graceful form contort and shift into a twisted reflection of herself. The moon mark on her back glowed with an unnatural light, a silver beacon against her silvery hair. My father, usually strong and resolute, knelt beside her, his eyes brimming with anguish and helplessness. He was trying to contain her, to protect her, but the toxins were stronger than anything he could do."Father, stay away from her, mother has lost her mind, she will attack you!""No, I can't, it's all my fault."My father tried to hug my mother, but my mother's eyes were red, her teeth were bared, and the wolf's claws scratched my father's face with blood."Father!" I yelled.The father was helpless, held back his grief and knocked his mother down with his backhand.I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists, my body quivering with a mixture of fear and determination. My mother's transformation wasn't an isolated

Ariana"Ariana, I'm back!"Hearing Lucas' voice, I breathed a sigh of relief.“Alpha Andrew, this is the antidote. “Lucas handed the medicine to my father.My father's expression showed a touch of emotion, “Thank you, Alpha Lucas.”“And there is one problem, this medicine is only an experimental product, and it can only last for a week. We need to find the real antidote as soon as possible."After feeding his mother the medicine, the father asked, "Where can I find the antidote?"Black Moon Clan." Lucas replied with a serious expression, "You should know that the Black Moon Clan is making a medicine that can control werewolves. The reason why many of our Blood Moon Clan werewolves disappeared is because of this experiment."“Yes... I used to turn a blind eye to their experiments, and now, it's setting fire to our pack.”The werewolves had regained their sanity, the wildness that had consumed them finally abating. My father, once a proud and strong Alpha, stood amidst his people with a

ArianaLeaving the crowd, I encountered a man. Although his skin had darkened significantly, I recognized his face at a glance. He stood before Lucas and me, causing me to involuntarily halt my steps. I don't want to meet him with Lucas at this time."Ariana, it's been a long time," the man said. He smiled, his tone carrying a hint of sadness. "You've grown beautifully confident. I almost didn't recognize you. And congratulations."Familiar yet unfamiliar, Rennes, the person I used to have a secret crush on. He was the son of a friend of my father. In our childhood, we used to play together. Back then, I thought we'd always be together. But later, I found out he had slept with my sister, and my innocent crush came to an abrupt end."Thank you, Rennes. When did you come back?" I looked at him calmly, and the sense of distance in my tone stunned him for a moment."About two years ago. I heard recently that you got married to…""Ariana, who is he?" Lucas interrupted our conversation, st

Ariana’s POVThe next morning, I groggily opened my eyes, the soft rays of sunlight filtering through the curtains casting a warm glow on the room. Beside me, Lucas, my beloved, stirred awake. We exchanged sleepy smiles, reveling in the intimacy of our shared morning. But that serene moment was shattered as I noticed my parents standing at the bedroom door, their expressions oddly peculiar.My heart raced, and embarrassment washed over me like a tidal wave. I quickly pulled the sheets closer to my body, feeling my cheeks flush with heat. I exchanged a swift, alarmed glance with my partner, who, unlike me, seemed rather unfazed by the intrusion.My father, a man of few words but a formidable presence, cleared his throat, breaking the awkward silence that hung in the room. "I see you two are finally awake," he said, his tone stern yet tinged with amusement. I wished the floor would swallow me whole.My mother, sensing the tension, coughed lightly and gave my father an encouraging pat on

My father had a solemn expression on his face, and my heart clenched with anticipation as he reached for a small, ornate box placed on the antique desk.With a deep breath, my father opened the box, revealing a breathtaking sight—the Silvermoon Clan Alpha's insignia. It was a piece of remarkable craftsmanship, made of pure silver, intricately designed to showcase the clan's symbol—the moon, with every detail etched with precision and care. The insignia held immense significance within our clan, a symbol of honor, authority, and responsibility.My father looked at me with a mixture of sadness and guilt in his eyes.
