The pack territory was still restless after the battle.
Everyone kept whispering about the strange event that had happened.
Ariana stood near the edge of the forest, trying to process everything.
"Alpha's mate… Moon Bloodline…" she whispered.
None of it made sense to her.
She had lived her whole life believing she was just a normal girl.
But now everything felt different.
Suddenly, a strange warmth spread through her chest.
Ariana frowned.
"What is this…?"
The air around her began to change.
A soft silver light slowly started glowing around her hands.
Nearby pack wolves noticed it immediately.
"What's happening?"
Jayden turned quickly when he felt the sudden surge of energy.
His eyes widened.
"Ariana!"
The silver glow became stronger.
The wind around her started swirling.
Ariana looked scared.
"I can't control it!"
Kayden ran toward her.
"Easy, don't panic."
But the energy continued growing.
The moonlight shining through the trees suddenly became brighter.
The silver light around Ariana exploded outward like a wave.
A powerful shock of energy spread across the clearing.
Several wolves stumbled back.
Jayden stepped forward quickly and grabbed Ariana's shoulders.
"Look at me," he said firmly.
Ariana's glowing eyes met his.
"Breathe slowly."
Kayden stood beside them, watching carefully.
"Looks like the Moon Bloodline is waking up."
The elders arrived moments later.
One of them looked at Ariana with deep seriousness.
"This confirms it."
Jayden frowned.
"Confirms what?"
The elder spoke slowly.
"She is not just from the Moon Bloodline…"
"She may be the Moon Heir."
The entire pack fell silent.
Kayden raised an eyebrow.
"Moon Heir?"
The elder nodded.
"The rarest bloodline in werewolf history."
Jayden looked at Ariana again.
Now things had become far more dangerous.
Because if Ariana truly carried that power…
She would become the most wanted target for hunters.
And protecting her would not only start a war with hunters…
It might even start a war between packs.
