LYRA'S POV.
The Elder put my hands into the Ancestral water.
The crowd stood silent.
A few minutes passed; I didn't change into a Wolf. My powers were not awakened.
The crowd began whispering among themselves, confused about what was happening.
Binge was so shocked he couldn't believe what was happening.
"It can't be". Binge said.
BINGE FLASHES BACK
Binge was released with the others, soul-bound to seek out his spirit - link. he was eager to meet the new wolves. The soul-bound ventured into a field filled with new alphas.
That was when he felt it, a presence different from anything he had seen. Although he had worked with S_LEVELS before, that was a long time ago.
Binge immediately recognized that great, powerful signature; it felt higher than the S_ LEVELS that he ever worked with. Lyra's energy was different.... or was Binge wrong?.
Mrs Morgan stood transfixed in shock.
The elder who was incantating stopped midway.
The crowd whispered.
"If she doesn't transform into a Wolf, that means one thing: Lyra is human."
"Human", the crowd screamed.
My heart began racing.
Binge flew forward, trying to protect Lyra.
Then the sky opened; immediately, a mighty force flew fast. A celestial light shone, with the crackling of divine energy.
"The moon goddess shone above the sky.
Her presence was felt by everyone.
All werewolves present, from powerful Alphas to betas and Omegas, and elders, instinctively dropped to their knees.
But Lyra, confused about what was happening, stood rooted to the spot, unaware of the sacred power before her.
Binge gestured for me to bow.
I immediately bowed
The moon goddess spoke.
"Look to her; she is a Wolf, but has weak energy, and she requires your patience and care, not your strength."
Binge's heart stopped beating; he couldn't believe what the Moon goddess had said.
I got confused. Why had this woman come to cover up for me?
I know I'm human.
Then the moon goddess vanished into thin air, like she never was there.
Everyone stood up in shock.
Mrs Morgan walked forward and held Lyra's shoulders.
"We will always be there for you, Lyra. Nexus is going to make you who you are".
The crowd erupted in laughter.
"She is a weak wolf"
I never knew what was waiting for me.
MRS Morgan's stood tall and elegant at the edge of the full moonlight. She cleared her throat and announced that the moon rising ascension had come to an end.
THE MOON RISING ASCENSION HAS COME TO AN END. TOMORROW YOU COME BACK TO THE COURTYARD FOR YOUR TRAINING.
Mrs Morgan said. ALL WOLVES TO YOUR DORM. " LYRA" Her voice was firm and steady.
"YOU MUST STAY, I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU."
"Lyra, what's wrong? Why didn't you transform?" Binge said, unhappy.
EVERY WOLF LEFT TO THEIR DORMS.
I moved to Mrs Morgan and stood in front of her.
"Lyra, don't let this incident get in your head. With good training and perfection, you will awaken that wolf as the moon goddess said." Mrs Morgan assured Lyra
I nodded faintly.
"You can leave, Lyra, for your dorm. Mrs. Morgan gestured with her hand for Lyra to leave.
As I was moving, Binge kept screaming in fear.
" Lyra, we are the weakest wolf here in Nexus; we are not even a wolf".
" Why do I care about being a wolf? I don't need it".I said.
" What?" Binge screamed. "Don't you know what that is, Lyra? You're gonna be dead."
I didn't say a word; I didn't care about being a wolf. I was only here to kill all of them. Why would I want to be one?
Binge kept screaming as they kept moving; Lyra didn't even say a word.
Binge and I got to the dorm building.
I fell flat on the soft bed, asleep, with Binge still screaming at my side.
"Don't you care about awakening your powers, Lyra?"
Lyra was already asleep.
The next morning, a voice rang out loud and clear.
ALL NEW WOLVES, OLD WOLVES REPORT TO THE COURTYARD FOR YOUR TRAINING.
I was still fast asleep, tumbling on my bed, my hair in a mess.
"Lyra, wake up; it's time to show what you've got", Binge kept pushing Lyra's body slightly to wake her up.
The voice rang out again.
ANY WOLF FOUND IN THE DOWN, IN FIFTEEN MINUTES, WILL BE PUNISHED.
Binge kept waking Lyra up, but she kept shoving him off.
15 minutes passed. A huge, tall, six-foot-tall man slammed Lyra's dorm door open.
Binge was fidgeting already, screaming Lyra's name to wake up.
I immediately swung up from the bed, frightened, my hands shaking.
"Who are you? Why are you in my room?"
The man's's voice was loud and sharp.
"Get dressed and move to the courtyard." The man stormed off, but I could see this was a warning; if I didn't move, I might get killed.
AT THE COURTYARD.
I walked into the courtyard, which was already packed with wolves. As I entered, every gaze directed at me was filled with ridicule and shame.
" She is a runt", A wolf said.
A lone wolf, blank slate. The crowd kept laughing and screaming.
Then a tall, slim woman appeared, dressed in a suit, standing in the middle of the courtyard; a microphone was clipped to her left ear. When she cleared her throat.
And the crowd stopped laughing at me for that moment.
She spoke out, Hi, I'm Miss Aria Peterson, and I'm your new teacher. Today, one of the elements of our core training is sensory deprivation and overload.
Several staff walked towards the new wolves and handed them blindfolds.
The new wolves looked at the blind folds and grew confused about what to do with them.
"Put them on, Miss Aria's voice was firm and steady.
She clapped her hands, and a loud noise and a sharp scent instantly filled the courtyard.
A true wolf will be able to navigate the labyrinth with each of her senses while blindfolded
The noise was deafening, and the scent was heavy.
The new wolves started howling, holding their ears.
I stood in the midst, confused about what was happening.
Amidst the chaos.
Before I could register what was happening, a sharp slap tore across my face, leaving my ears ringing.
"How dare you, a furious voice echoed.
I didn't have time to look up for a second; another strike landed on my face.
I fell to the ground; her world tilted.
