When Seth and | arrived at the festival grounds, our breaths were heavy, and our muscles were taut with

anticipation. The path leading here had been eerily quiet, except for the distant hum of the festivals.

Overhead, the harvest moon hung low. It was half now..., but very soon, it would be full. The festival was in full

swing now. Laughs echoed through the night sky as families gathered around the towering bonfire at the centre

of the grounds. Children ran in circles, their shrieks of joy piercing the air, and couples danced to the rhythm of

the soft tune playing in the background. No one was running away from being attacked, neither were they

shouting like they had been a few minutes ago. If anything, the noise | had heard was from a group of preteens

playing in a

corner.

Everything was fine.

“I don’t understand,” | muttered, running a hand through my hair as | scanned the crowd, still trying to see if

they were distressed or if this was part of strick. “This doesn’t make sense,” | muttered again. “Didn't you

hear when she said she saw sformless creatures attacking people? Or was the mistake on my side? | heard

her clearly, | swear or did she say something

else, Seth?”

Seth adjusted the ceremonial dagger strapped to his waist as he sheathed it again, his brows were furrowed too.

I could tell he was as surprised as | was. “I don’t know, Alpha. | heard Cassidy say people were being attacked

and then the shouts and all and also something about the attack. being her fault. But there’s no sign of panic, no

commotion. If something happened, you'd think

we'd see it by now”

I nodded, listeless still looking around. “Something's not right, Seth. | don’t know what to make of all of these. |

just know that Cassidy sounded so certain. She's not that kind of person too. She wouldn't resort to playing

games like this, especially at this time. Plus | know the kind of person she is.

either with admiration or pride as they stared atbut most of them were from White Moon Pack. Since it was

just the Alphas from other packs that we had invited, | decided to invite everyone from my pack to make

my pack to make up for the scanty crowd we had.

| nodded absent-mindedly as | turned to walk away. Suddenly, Lenny’s voice called out. When | turned, | saw him

running towardstogether with three gammas. He had a surprised. expression on his face as he cto me.

“Alpha, | cas soon as | could. But...” he stopped and looked around. “Everything seems normal. Your

message was so urgent and we also heard screams too. | didn’t expect that it would

be this

“My thoughts exactly. Cassidy ran into my room, a few minutes ago and said they were being attacked.

Something about formless creatures doing the attacks but when we got here there was nothing except people

just having the best tof their lives and I just checked, is it possible to get CCTV footage from minutes ago

from the security department? I'm sure there's an explanation for this.”

“I already did that, Lenny replied. “Where is Cassidy? And Miss Lyla?”

One of the Gammas who had cwith Lenny was bending now, sniffing something on the ground. Gammas are

known for their excellent tracking skills and their abilities to tell almost any creature apart using their smell or

anything at all. All they needed was just something tiny from the creature and they would be able to identify it.

“No strange scents. No signs of struggle and everything seems normal.

“Maybe too normal,” Lenny muttered. “Alpha, where is Cassidy and Miss Lyla? | saw her a few. hours ago and she

mentioned helping the priestesses to prepare for the festival. Do you know if

she’s done?”

“She was withwhen Cassidy came...”

Lenny immediately, wiggled his eyebrow as if to question my motive but | shook my head. “She cfor

something else entirely. She soughtfirst to tellsomething when Cassidy came.”

“And you left both of them together?” Lenny asked, staring atas if | was a baby.

| froze as it dawned on me. Cassidy and Lyla, together in one room? Why didn’t | think of it? Without another

word, | turned and started hurrying towards the pack house. | heard Seth tell the Gammas to stay behind while

Lenny followed after me.

In a few strides, | reached the pack house and rushed to my room. My blood ran cold when the door was open.

Rushing forward, | barged into the room and was surprised to see Cassidy lying. lifelessly on the floor but there

was no sign of Lyla.

Lenny rushed at Cassidy, checking her vitals while | searched around the room. There was no single trace of Lyla.

| ran towards my closet, opening the drawers. | was frantic. | could feel Lax, panting with anxiety as if something

had just happened too.

| went around checking the bathroom, at the corners and at every other place that | felt someone could hide but

Lyla wasn’t there. | was looking for anything. Could it be that whatever Cassidy has seen, succeeded in tricking

“What are you doing?” Lenny’s voice called out to me.

When I looked up, he was at the entrance of my closet looking at me. He had a quiet expression

on his face.

“I'm trying to find her, | responded automatically, closing the drawer.

“Seriously/” Lenny scoffed. “Even if she can fit into your drawer, | don’t think she would be bold enough to hide

there besides, her scent is everywhere but here. | know you're panicking...”

“I am not!” | retorted, glaring at him. “I'm just worried.”

“Fine, you're just worried but you cannot show that you are worried. Your grandfather is heading here. | just got a

mindlink from Seth and it doesn’t look good. Listen, I also asked swarriors to take Cassidy to the pack

hospital. Her vitals are fine but you cannot mention Lyla. It'll be suspicious.”

“Well, I should do something, go find her or something...” | murmured. “I'm tired of...”

The words were barely out of my mouth when the door of my room was pushed open and my grandfather

stalked in shaking with anger. “Why are you still here?”

“Here?” | stared at him, confused at what he was raving about. “I don’t understand.”

“I just received an intelligence report that there's a two-tailed wolf in the pack house. An Omega rushed to tell

me. It attacked, Cassidy...

“Cassidy?” my eyes widened with more surprise. “She didn’t look like someone that was attacked by a werewolf.

More than anything, she seemed to have fainted and we already had her taken to the pack hospital.”

“And the two-tailed wolf?” My grandfather bristled, peering at his watch with impatience. “It’s almost tbefore

the full moon comes out, if it does with that thing on the prowl then we might as well seek mercy in the hands of

those Feral wolves.”

“No, Pop...” | shook my head. “If it's the stwo-tailed | saw then it’s cto save us...”

“You know the werewolf?” My grandfather stopped me, his tone was filled with disappointment as if | had

committed a heinous crime. “You've been in contact with it and you let it go?”

| shrugged. “Yes. A few days ago, our surveillance caught her fighting and killing a lot of Ferals on our behalf. It's

not dangerous, Pop. | saw it. | know...”

In a flash, my grandfather covered the distance between us and landed a slap on my cheek. He was vibrating

with pure, intense rage and hatred, such that | had never seen before. | didn’t even think he was capable of that

sort of violence tomore than anyone.

“It’s not dangerous?” he shouted “Do you know what it did? I lost everything because of it. | lost my son my

perfect son, right here in this packhouse and you have the guts to sit there and tellit's not dangerous?”

“Elder Eldric, Lenny cto stand in between us, | think you should walk away, you're too angry

to hold this conversation.”

“They've been dead for years, Pop,” | gritted my teeth, meeting his gaze coolly “It's tyou get over it and

accept it and they died of a rogue attack. You cannot blit...”

He moved forward, probably to hitagain but thankfully Lenny intercepted it.

“You foolish child!” My grandfather shouted. His voice was thundering through the room now. “Your father and

mother were murdered in their sleep by a two-tailed wolf they had rescued from execution. They took pity on it

and brought it here, nursed it back to life and what did they
