"Atlas?" Atlene calls out, and Atlas turns abruptly, almost falling down in his haste.  "What is wrong with you, man? What are you acting all strange about? You straight?" Atlas's only surviving companion, Cameron calls out in a fake brave tone. But he is looking around in fear.  "You really need to chill out, bro. I am trying here. I thought I heard someone call my name, which is why I turned so abruptly. Sorry." Atlas apologizes, still looking around for a person.  "Atlas, it is me… ImI'm right here by this window…" Atlene says, waving wildly as it dawns on him finally.  "They can't see us right?" Ringan says tiredly, sighing in frustration as Atlene looks back through the window.  "Did you hear that?" Atlas asks, turning again in the dark. I definitely heard my brother's voice… Atlene, are you out there?

  **NOELLE'S POV** I feel like I deserve most of what she is experiencing at the hands of the dwarfs. But after accepting to take them to where I hid the moon, they became a wee bit nicer.   I am still not happy about being kidnapped by a bunch of tiny beings, but I will take my chances and hope that when we reach my home, the dwarves will be more willing to help me out than I expect they are now. I think I might have misjudged this place. It is definitely dwarf sized, just not as much as it was in our old world. It had been around the size of a small village. A lot bigger than I thought. I have only been here a short time, but my stomach keeps growling and I feel like I can not get enough air and it hurts so bad.  And there are not many regular sized humans around. Which probably has something to do with why I have not been able to see any other normal sized

"I deeply apologize for that. I thought it was the best thing to do at the time, but I know better now. I am so sorry." Atlas apologizes to Atlene and he nods finally, smiling as he reaches out to hold Atlas's hand. "Oh well, I guess now that all of that is resolved, I can tell Atlene everything that actually happened." Scarlett says happily. The moon goddess eventually grants them leave and bids them farewell after promising that they would return to meet everything right as it was before everything went to the fire. She called it her own little gift to her friends for saving her. The moon goddess assures Atlene that Ringan is home safely and cannot stop talking about her adventures, even though no one exactly believes her. She too has been rewarded by the moon goddess. "By the way, Scarlett." The moon goddess says just as Scarlett is walking away. Scarlett stops and bows in humility. "I just want to tell you that Sam is alright, and that her baby is fine too. Her name is Scarlet

SCARLETT'S POV As I approach another crowd, I notice that the blonde female from before is talking. "Well, you're welcome to come to the party, but I don't think you're going to like it." The shorter person in the blue outfit seems to be frowning. "What do you mean? Why wouldn't I like it?" she asks. "It's a wolf party. You know, with werewolves," the blonde responds. "I know what a wolf party is. I'm not stupid," the shorter person retorts. "Fine. You're not stupid. But I don't think you understand what you're getting into," the blonde says, crossing her arms. "Hey, what's going on here?" I interrupt, stepping forward. The blonde turns to face me. "Oh, Alpha. I didn't realize you were here." "Who is this?" I ask, gesturing to the shorter person. "This is Amelia. She's new in town," the blonde says. "Hello, Amelia. Welcome to our pack," I say, extending my hand. Amelia looks at my hand skeptically before reluctantly shaking it. "Hi." "So, what brings you to our town?" I ask

  Annabel smiles weakly, grateful for Luke's forgiveness and kindness. She knows she has a lot of making up to do, but she's determined to do better and be a better team member from then on. Luke sets about trying to help Annabel clean up and get some food, even as he is lost in thoughts of how to make her pay for hurting him like she did. A part of him felt so much pity for her because she had been thrown into the dungeon and starved from day ten by the very Alpha she had been frolicking with.  The more he thinks about it, the more it hurts Luke, until he throws a punch and lands his fist in the wall, and instantly regrets it as the hard wall leaves a gashing wound across his four knuckles.  He just has to get back at Annabel. He tries to explore the forgive and forget option but it makes him so unhappy that he just accepts that he simply cannot get over her infidelity. &
