LucasShe managed a weak smile, her gratitude evident in her eyes. "Thank you," she said softly.Curiosity sparked within her, and she tilted her head, looking at me intently. "Tell me about your wolf," she requested. "What's its personality like?"I chuckled at the question, finding it amusing that she was curious about my wolf's personality. "Well," I began, "my wolf is a bit of a mystery. It's not easy to pin down. It's like a rebellious teenager, always doing its own thing."As I spoke, I couldn't help but feel a shift within me. The wolf within me seemed to stir, as if it had been listening to our conversation. It had a mischievous streak, and at this moment, it couldn't resist making itself known.Suddenly, the wolf within me surged forward, taking control of my body for a brief moment. My eyes glowed with an otherworldly light, and a mischievous grin spread across my face. "Why are you talking about me like I'm not here?" the wolf demanded, its voice filled with playfulness and
Ariana’s POVThe wind howled through the narrow alleyways of the Black Moon Clan's hidden village as I clung to the arm of Lucas. We were both disguised as an ordinary couple, our faces concealed by cloaks and hoods, our steps cautious and calculated. The Black Moon Clan was a place shrouded in darkness, a stark contrast to the shimmering beauty of the Silver Moon Clan where we had grown up.The uneasy atmosphere weighed heavily on my heart as we crept past guard posts, our hearts pounding with each step. The key to our infiltration was Beta Marcus, with connections to a peasant couple within the Black Moon Clan. He had provided us with the information and identities we needed to enter unnoticed.Our destination was a vacant house, one where we would assume the roles of the peasant couple Marcus had arranged for us. We had to be convincing, for any slip-up could lead to our discovery and capture. The stakes were high, but we had no choice. My sister, Seraphina, was somewhere within th
Ariana’s POVThe woman's voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper. "The alchemist betrayed us. The potion he created was not what he promised. It brought chaos and destruction upon our clan. Many wolves were afflicted by a terrible curse, and the Alpha was gravely injured. It was during this crisis that the Alpha began wearing a mask."My heart sank as I connected the dots. "So, the Alpha's mask is related to the curse caused by the alchemist's potion?"The woman nodded solemnly. "Yes, dear. It was a symbol of the Alpha's shame and the reminder of our clan's darkest hour. But something else changed within the Alpha. They became intelligent, decisive, ruthless even. It was as if a new personality had taken over."The revelation sent shivers down my spine. A masked Alpha with a hidden agenda, a clan transformed by a disastrous potion, and a leader who had undergone a mysterious personality change—it was all too much to process."Why hasn't anyone in the Black Moon Clan questioned this
Ariana’s POVLucas quickly worked on picking the lock of her cell, his hands steady despite the urgency of the situation. After what felt like an eternity, the lock clicked open.When Lucas swung open the heavy, creaking door to Seraphina's cell, I couldn't help but gasp. The sight that greeted me was shocking and heart-wrenching. There, before me, stood my once-beautiful sister, Seraphina, her face marred by a gruesome scar that cut across her forehead. The scar was a brutal reminder of the horrors she had endured at the hands of the Black Moon Clan.My breath caught in my throat as I took in the transformation that had overtaken Seraphina. She had always been strong-willed and pride, but now she looked broken and defeated. Her eyes, once filled with light and laughter, were dull and haunted. It was as if the very essence of her being had been drained away.Tears welled up in my eyes as I rushed forward, disregarding the danger of the situation. "Seraphina," I whispered, my voice tre
Ariana’s POVI couldn't help but feel a strange sense of familiarity when I looked at the Alpha, even though his mask concealed his features. It was as if I had glimpsed something in his eyes, a hint of recognition that sent a shiver down my spine. But I couldn't dwell on it; there were more pressing matters at hand.The Alpha, his voice dripping with sarcasm, turned his attention to Seraphina. "And as for you, my dear," he said, "it's a shame that you chose to betray your own kind and your own family. But in the end, you belong to the Black Moon Clan now."Seraphina's eyes filled with tears, but she held her head high, her spirit unbroken. "I may have made a mistake," she said, her voice trembling with emotion, "but I'll find a way to make amends."The Alpha's amusement seemed to grow as he continued to toy with us. "Make amends?" he mused. "Oh, my dear, you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into. You're in the lion's den now, and there's no escape."I couldn't bear to see my

The cell became a chaotic battleground as Lucas transformed into a massive red wolf to defend us, outnumbered ten to one.I, too, called upon my magic, the energy within me surging as I defended against and attacked our enemies. My powers crackled in the air as I conjured protective barriers and sent bolts of energy toward the encroaching werewolves. My primary concern was keeping Seraphina safe, and I would do whatever it took to ensure her survival.The battle was fierce and unrelenting. Lucas's red wolf form was a formidable force, his powerful jaws and razor-sharp claws tearing through the ranks of Black Moon Clan werewolves. But they kept coming, their relentless attacks testing his strength and endurance.Seraphina, her fury undiminished by Rennes's betrayal, fought with a ferocity that was awe-inspiring. She unleashed her w
Ariana’s POV"Estella!" I called out, my voice filled with hope as I recognized her.But there was no response. Estella's eyes were empty, devoid of recognition or emotion. She moved towards us like a puppet on strings, her body tense and ready to attack. My joy quickly turned to dread."Estella, it's me! It's Ariana!" I pleaded, desperate for some sign that she recognized me.But there was no mercy in her eyes. She lunged at us, and I had no choice but to defend myself. My instincts as a wolf kicked in, and I fought back, fending off Estella's attacks while trying to keep Seraphina safe on my back.The battle raged on, and it soon became clear that the Black Moon Clan's wolf people were closing in on us as well. We were outnumbered and surrounded, and the odds were stacked against us.

Ariana’s POV"Silver," I whispered softly, my voice trembling with urgency. "I need your help. Lucas is in danger, and I don't know how to save him. Please, guide me."For a moment, there was silence, and I feared that my plea had gone unanswered. But then, a deep and resonant voice echoed in my mind, filled with a sense of purpose."Ariana," the voice said, "I have been waiting for this moment. I am ready to take control and show them our true power."I gasped as I realized that the wolf within me, Silver, was responding to my call. It was eager to help, to take control of my body and use its power to save Lucas.I hesitated for only a moment, understanding the risks involved. But there was no other choice. "Alright, Silver," I said, my voice filled with determination. "Take control. Help Lucas."As I surrendered control to my wolf, I felt a surge of power unlike anything I had ever experienced before. My blood seemed to boil in my veins, and a searing pain shot through my forehead.
