Luna ran for what felt like hours, her heart pounding in her chest, her legs burning with fatigue. She had no idea where she was going, only that she had to get as far away from her pack as possible.
As the moon began to rise, casting a pale glow over the forest, she could feel the sedative clouding her senses and weighing her down. When she felt she had put enough distance between them, she gave in to darkness.
Luna slept for what felt like an eternity. The world around her was silent, save for the occasional rustle of leaves in the wind. But then, she was woken by a sound she couldn't place. It was faint at first, but it grew louder and more persistent.
She sat up, her senses on high alert. Her heart raced as she tried to determine where the sound was coming from. It was like nothing she had ever heard before, a strange mix of a howl and a growl. It was unlike any animal she had encountered in her years in the pack.
