Rejected at Birth

The Prophecy is Discovered

As the sun rose higher, bathing the forest in warm light, the wolves congregated around their leader. Their breath mingled with the crisp morning air, carrying the scent of pine needles on their fur. Grace stood in the center, her silver eyes scanning each individual in the circle - fierce warriors, playful pups, and wise elders alike.

Sebastian's hand remained extended towards her, a silent promise of unwavering loyalty. His gaze held a mix of pride and vulnerability, as if he could sense the weight of their shared destiny. The bond between them pulsed like a living thread, connecting their hearts and souls. Grace locked eyes with each of her mates.

But beyond their pack, turmoil raged on in the world. Human-shifter conflicts continued to escalate, old rivalries simmered, and the moon goddess remained silent. They were left to make decisions on their own.

As days turned into weeks, Grace searched for answers. She delved into forgotten tomes and studied histories of different packs and prophecies from decades past. These prophecies spoke of a celestial convergence where the moon would align with the stars, and a chosen one would emerge. Was she meant to fulfill this prophecy? And if so, what was her role in the grand scheme of things? According to the prophecies, she was the daughter of the moon who would unite all pieces of her soul to give birth to the queen of shifters - someone who would bring peace and unification among all packs.

Grace couldn't wrap her head around all of this while struggling to remember simple tasks like eating. How was she expected to bring a child into this world knowing they would be used as a pawn? Her mates stood by her side though, offering unwavering loyalty and support. While Bryce, the Stoic beta, offered sage advice, Sebastian constantly second-guessed every decision until they were going around in circles for hours.

Grace had also discovered newfound abilities, like being able to read others' thoughts and emotions, sense and manipulate heavy emotions, and heal at an exceptional speed. These powers brought her to the pack's witch and healer, Nina, who helped her control them over the past few days. Nina taught her breathing techniques and meditation. These skills were to help ground her in times of stress or emotion.
