LYRA'S POV.
when I Lyra looked up.
I saw Linda, Katherine, and Annabelle standing right in front of me like they meant war.
Linda's voice echoed.
"How dare you talk to Damien?" Linda leaned down; her claws slid out gently, then she grabbed my throat, her claws piercing deeper into my skin.
"Why are you doing this?" Lyra let those words out in pain.
"You think I didn't see you with Damien that night, when you were seducing him? Didn't you know I'm his luna_elect?
Katherine and Annabelle stood laughing loudly.
Katherine pulled my hair, yanking it, and I screamed with pain.
Annabelle spat at her face.
" You f*****g runt, a lone wolf,
The two burst into laughter.
Binge noticed; he flew in a hurry to release his boss.
"Stop, you bitches, you only stink on the weak. Go find your mate," Binge screamed out.
One punch it took, and Binge flew away.
" Lyra, you just pulled the donkey back, and you aren't getting away with it; this is just the beginning of your torment."
The Three laughed; Linda's claws left Lyra's throat.
And the Three left, marching majestically.
I stood up, body raging and vowed to take revenge on them.
Some wolves were already on the ground, unconscious, due to the noise hardening and heavy scent.
While some were still wavering, hands on their ears, howling.
A few minutes later, all the wolves were unconscious on the ground, but I stood firm.
Then Miss Aria clapped her hands. The noise and scent stopped.
Miss Aria's eyes widened in shock to see only me standing.
Confusion was etched on every staff member's face as they stared in disbelief at Lyra standing before them, unable to comprehend how she defied the deafening noise and overwhelming scent they escalated to the maximum.
Miss Aria's eyes were still wide in utter disbelief; she moved from the middle of the courtyard to confirm she wasn't actually imagining things.
" Lyra, how is this possible? You need to test your abilities again."
All wolves stood up, pale and weak, each surprised to see Lyra still standing strong.
As Kaia stood up, unsteady on her feet and weak, she saw that only Lyra was standing; she felt a furious rage boiling within her.
Binge flew forward towards Miss Aria.
"I told you, my Boss, Lyra, was more powerful than you all".
All wolves started whispering among themselves, confused about how Lyra was the only one standing.
Miss Aria's gaze swept over the courtyard.
"Lyra, powers are still emerging and shrouded in mystery; Lyra's power might exceed all of you.
" I told you ", he laughed.
"I am human; what are you guys expecting?" This thought ran through my head.
The WOLVES murmured.
"She is still a wolf-less _ wolf. "
"Class is dismissed. Miss Aria's voice was firm and clear.
Each werewolves were dispatched.
A voice rang out loud and clear.
ATTENTION, STUDENTS OF THE MOON, IN TWO DAYS, THERE IS GOING TO BE THE BINDING UNDER THE MOON.
All were cheering.
Binge flew towards me, cheering
"What is the binding under the moon?"
I asked Binge, confused.
" Binding under the moon is when you meet your lifetime wolf partner; the moon goddess is going to link the fated pairs," Binge said happily. He told me, I was going to find my mate also.
The second class commenced.
An elderly wolf in his late 50's with a popular and professional hairstyle for people in his age range.
He had the classic taper.
His clothes were a pair of well-fitted chino trousers, paired with a button-down shirt.
"Hi, I'm Mr Smith, your wolf biology teacher.
Today's core topic: Healing ability. We are going to discuss how a wolf's body can heal by how your cells divide fast so you can heal. Mr Smith was pacing all over the courtyard, his gaze fixed on his student.
A wolf's immune system consists of white blood cells, which help fight against infection and generate healing ability. The metabolism in a wolf's digestive system assists a wolf in turning food into energy.
Let's first of all dive into the Metabolism of a wolf.
Imagine our body as a supercharged engine. When you transform or heal, your body kicks into overdrive, burning through stored energy at an incredible rate. This part allows your cells to divide and multiply rapidly, rebuilding bones, muscles, and skin in a matter of seconds.
The next part is your immune system. It works magically, like a fireball, instead of identifying a threat. It instantly neutralizes and poisons.
The moment it enters the body, it prevents the poison from causing harm by breaking it down or expelling it before it spreads.
Mr Smith stopped mid-sentence.
Is there anyone of you who would like to ask a question?
A wolf raised his hands.
"If a werewolf lacks this metabolism, what are the effects?"
That's a nice question. If a wolf loses its metabolism, the consequences would be severe.
The wolf struggles to regenerate from injuries, taking weeks to heal like normal humans. Within a pack, it will disrupt the hierarchy.
This is the end of today's class.
Mr Smith walked out of the courtyard.
2 days later.
A voice rang out loud and clear.
ALL WOLVES, OLD AND NEW, REPORT TO THE COURTYARD FOR THE BINDING UNDER THE MOONLIGHT CEREMONY.
I REPEAT, ALL WEREWOLVES REPORT TO THE COURTYARD NOW FOR THE BINDING UNDER THE MOON CEREMONY AND DON'T FORGET TO DRESS BEAUTIFULLY.
The Air feels heavy for me, i was seated at the edge of the bed. My roommates were all busy, rushing for the ceremony.
Then one of the roommates stepped forward
"Are you showing your face at the moon binding ceremony, or do you already know where the shadow's where you belong?"
Binge became furious and turned to Lyra" have a dress I prepared for you." Binge brought out a beautiful dress.
I was shocked.
"You're going to find your mate, Lyra. Even though you haven't awakened your powers, I know the moon goddess will be preparing something special for you."
"I'm not going ", I said in a low voice.
"What?" Binge screamed. You don't want what happened the last time to happen again.
" ok, ok, I will go, but not to go look for a mate," I said.
AT THE BINDING UNDER THE MOON CEREMONY.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was heavy, with hope hanging in the Air as the moonlight reached its peak.
My arrival stopped conversation; my dress shimmered under the stars, and the moonlight seemed to single me out as the most beautiful in the courtyard.
The crowd turned and glanced at me filled with envy.
But immediately, excitement and screams broke the courtyard.
As the k4 made their way, the G_3 tagged alongside.
Linda held Damien's arm, head high, proudly asserting her position. As his Luna elect.
The clouds tore open, and a celestial light pierced the clouds; the moon goddess appeared.
"Today, each of you wolves will meet your life long partner, any wolf the moonlight shifts to will illuminate a destined pair, binding them in a thread. The moon goddess spoke out, her voice heavy.
I stood apart, watching the light.
Then wolves started seeing their mate as the moonlight shifted towards them.
In the courtyard, the atmosphere was filled with chaos. Some wolves were desperate, breaking their bond, harshly rejecting their mate whom they didn't like, while some were waiting patiently for the Moon to shift towards them.
I stood unbothered, but then the moonlight shifted towards me.
The crowd turned immediately, staring at me as the moonlight shifted towards me.
The moonlight didn't just illuminate me; it wrapped around me, completely taking control over my body, leading me step by step, so that I didn't know where I was going.
As the moonlight guided me, I came to a halt.
As soon as I raised my face, I saw Damien, Ethan, Damon, and Kelvin, and an illumious thread immediately tied us together.
When the crowd saw this, they gasped, surprised.
