Chapter 1 MOONLIGHT GATHERING
Lyra stood atop the hill, her piercing gaze scanning the moonlight gathering below. The pack Alpha females had come together to discuss the recent strange occurrence in their territory. Whispers of dark magic and rogue wolves has been circulating, and Lyra aimed to get to the bottom of it.
As she descended into the circle, her pack member parted, their eyes locked on her with a mix of respect and concern, Lyra’s presence commanded attention, And everyone was quiet while putting all their focus on her.
“Greetings, Sisters” Lyra said, her voice clear and authoritative. “We’ve gathered to address the unease in our land, report of dark rituals and unexplained markings have made me worried”, just then, a figure emerged from the shadows. Kael, a ruggedly handsome stranger with piercing blue eyes, stepped forward. “Alpa Lyra, I’ve been tracking a lead on these dark rituals, May I speak?”.
Lyra’s gaze narrowed,intrigued by the mysterious stranger. “You’re new to our land, what make you think you can help?”, she asked,
“I believe our path has crossed for a reason, I’ve been investigating similar occurrences in neighboring territories and trust me this situation isn’t something to handle slightly” kael said.
Lyra raised her eyebrow,She became interested “very well, Kael. Share your feelings”.
Kael began to speak,his deep voice weaving a spell of intrigue “ The markings are symbols of an ancient language, used to summon dark energies. I’ve seen similar rituals in territories to the east, where a mysterious figure has been gathering forces”.
Lyra’s pack members exchange worried glances, their whispers growing louder. Lyra raising a hand, silence them. “What makes you think this is connected to our territory?”. She asked
Kael’s eyes locked onto Lyra’s, his gaze burning with intensity. “The symbols are identical, and the timing coincides with the strange occurrence here, Trust me this is no coincidence, I believe we’re dealing with a larger threat, one that cleared multiple territories”.
Lyra’s mind started racing, she considered kael’s words. The possibility of a larger threat was unsettling, but she couldn’t deny the evidence. “Very well Kael. I want you to work with our pack’s Beta, Ryker, to investigate further.Lets uncover the truth behind this dark rituals.
As Lyra assigned Kael a task, their hands brushed, sending a spark of electricity through both of them. Lyra’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pulled her hand back trying to brush off the sensation.
