**Prologue**
In the early days of Earth's formation, the moon goddess created a sacred garden as her tranquil sanctuary. Within this enchanting haven, she cultivated a myriad of extraordinary medicinal herbs and exquisite moon flowers renowned for their miraculous healing properties. The goddess would bestow these precious remedies upon deserving packs or those who undertook missions on her behalf.
One fateful night, while the moon goddess was bestowing a new gift upon the packs known as a mate bond, an intruder violated the sanctity of her garden. Upon her return, she was met with an overwhelming sense of disbelief. Herbs were trampled, stems broken, leaves bruised and torn, ruthlessly plucked by the intruder's hands. A profound sadness engulfed her, quickly followed by shock and worry as she rushed to the heart of her garden, witnessing the man's ruthless destruction of her beloved moonflowers. With a trembling voice filled with sorrow, she called out his name.
In that moment, the moon goddess made a decision. She declared that he would henceforth be known as the first rogue, forever banished and condemned to wander alone, descending into madness. Stripping him of the stolen herbs and moon flowers, she sent him on his way.
From that point forward, the moon goddess appointed an alpha heir to serve as the guardian of her sacred garden during her absence. These chosen protectors would undergo a sacred initiation upon first shift, where their wolves would be gifted with a single trait reminiscent of the moon goddess herself. This esteemed tradition persisted even long after the moon goddess had departed from this earthly plane.
