Marked by a Forbidden Moon

Kael Veridian - Alpha of the Nightfall Pack - Known for being ruthless, controlled, and unyielding - Commands respect through fear and strength - Rejects emotional weakness, especially the idea of “mates” - Instinctively drawn to her despite knowing she’s a risk Lyra (temporary name) - Found near death with no memory of her past - Appears human but carries something unnatural within her - Physically fragile at first, but her instincts say otherwise - Her eyes glow in a way no wolf’s ever has - Her presence causes unease—even among the strongest Darius Vance (Beta) - Kael’s right-hand man - Logical, cautious, and fiercely protective of the pack - Immediately distrusts Lyra - Represents reason over instinct Selene Arkwright - A mysterious figure tied to ancient werewolf lore - Knows more about Lyra than she reveals - Speaks in half-truths and warnings - Morally gray—her intentions are unclear (Shadows) – They do not move like ordinary enemies. No names, no clear faces—only fragments of presence felt in places they were never seen entering. Whispers travel faster than footsteps, and by the time anyone notices, they are already gone, leaving behind signs that feel more like warnings than traces. – They have been watching long before Lyra was found. Patient. Calculated. As if her survival was not an accident—but a delay in something inevitable. They do not search blindly; they know exactly what they are looking for, and more unsettling than that… they know what she will become. – To them, Lyra is not a person. Not a mate. Not even a threat—yet. She is something unfinished, something that was never meant to awaken on its own. A key, yes—but to what remains unknown. Power? Control? Or something far worse that even the oldest packs have forgotten. – There are hints that they are older than the current order of werewolves, older than the laws that govern the packs. Some believe they are a myth meant to frighten disobedient wolves. Others know better—but refuse to speak of it. Because saying their existence out loud feels like inviting them closer. – And now that Lyra has been found… they are no longer waiting.
