* Moonlight Pack *
The first light of dawn spilled across the Moonlight Pack grounds, pale and cold but the air carried heat.,..a raw, primal power that made every wolf restless and wide-eyed.
Crystal stood at her window, bare feet on the chilled stone floor, the fading silver glow of her skin still shining faintly in the early light.
Her wolf was quiet now, no longer caged, no longer hidden. It prowled beneath her skin, awake and satisfied, watching the world its eyes
She touched her chest lightly.
I am whole now…
The weight of years of shame, the rejection and fear had fallen away overnight. No one in the pack could deny her now. No more whispers behind her back. No more pitying looks.
The Daughter of the Moon had risen. Unbound, unbroken.
Her gaze shifted to the forest beyond.
