Chapter 1: Full Moon (Ava's POV)
The full moon hung low in the sky, casting a silver glow over our pack's land. The air vibrated with an otherworldly energy, drawing me outside. I danced under the moon's light, feeling its wild power course through my veins.
My family joined me, our laughter and joyful howls echoing through the forest. Mom spun around me, her eyes shining with happiness. Dad lifted Max onto his shoulders, and my little brother giggled, waving at the moon.
As the night wore on, we settled around a roaring fire. Dad told stories of our ancestors' bravery, and Mom shared tales of the ancient magic that flowed through our blood. I snuggled close to Max, feeling grateful for this life.
The pack's elders approached, their faces aglow with warmth. They spoke of the upcoming Gathering, a time for our pack to unite with others. I listened intently, eager to learn more about our world.
The evening ended with a group run, our pack bounding through the forest under the moon's watchful eye. I felt free, my heart filled with love for my family and our pack.
Chaos erupted as rogues descended upon our pack. Snarls and growls filled the air. I watched in horror as our home was destroyed.
Mom screamed, and I saw Dad fall. Max was torn from my side. I tried to shift, but fear and panic crippled me.
A rough hand grabbed me, and I was dragged away. I caught a glimpse of Kael, the rogue alpha, his eyes cold and calculating.
The world blurred as I was tossed into a dark vehicle. I trembled, unsure what lay ahead.Chaos erupted as rogues descended upon our pack. Snarls and growls filled the air. I watched in horror as our home was destroyed.
