I head out, nked by my courtdies and guards. Jurrek bows in greeting, and I bypass him in silence.
The doors to the long hall swing wide open, and I step inside, pausing. There she stands. The great Priestess of Ash Pack. She had once worked alongside Dessyn’s mother, but now Morwen’s presence is no longer needed. This one is enough.
I make my way to the seat. Heads bow around me, but I ignore them all, taking my ce with eyes fixed on the priestess ahead. She remains bowed, even as the others straighten, at ease.
I’ve received the information that the Moon Goddess has given a sign, supporting my ascension but there is a condition. A date, a time has been assigned. My visit to the holy chamber is ordained, and I am here to hear her message of light. The condition.
“Zephyrine Ashmere. You will be the first ever Female Alpha,” the Priestess finally speaks, her voice echoing through the hall. “Your great white wolf will undergo the transformation from a mere werewolf to an Alpha but there is a use.”
I swallow hard, eyes fixed ahead. She straightens fully, gaze unwavering.
“The Moon Goddess requests your presence in the holy chamber tonight. This is a journey you must take alone.” Silence falls, goosebumps rising across my skin. “Rituals will be performed to pray for your safe return. Preparation awaits you, but once you step into the holy chamber, you will emerge as an Alpha.”
I heave a breath as she drops the next revtion.
“And once you be an Alpha, you will belong to no man except the one you are fated to be mated with.”
Everything shatters. Coldness surges through me. Did I hear that correctly?
“No man may im you, nor may youy with any, unless you seek the Moon Goddess‘ wrath,” she continues, walking toward me. “No creature may bind you except the one she has destined for you.”
She stops before me, holding my gaze.
“Once the Moon Goddess blesses you as Alpha, you will not be involved with any creature, any man, any Alpha, or any King unless you are mates. Failure to obey… Ash Pack will fall.”
Lay with no man? Such a cruel condition. My chest heaves under the weight of the task. My mind twists toward Lycannar, and I know he will go mad if I do not return at the time I promised him,
Slowly, my gaze drops to the ring on my finger. Coldness surges through my veins. The Moon Goddess surely hates Lycannar enough to issue this decree. She wants to take me from him, to make sure he is not happy. No wonder her statue weakens him. But why?
***
Under the night sky, I make my way toward the holy chamber. There are many things I can overlook, many people I will never stand against but if the Moon Goddess chooses to act unfairly, perhaps it is time to meet her gaze and never bow.

The pack is cloaked in silence, thick with tension. This is the moment when an Alpha candidate faces trials.
I stop before the holy chamber door. I’ve heard the tales from my father, who entered and returned with blessings from the Moon Goddess. He imed it took no more than an hour, though time runs differently in the empire. He had spent an entire week, believing it was only one hour.
Now, standing before the door, I pray it takes no longer than necessary. There is much to do, and many awaiting me.
I take a step forward, then stop again. Every Alpha who crosses this threshold returns with a gift, alongside the Goddess‘ blessing. My father returned with a great sword, one that conquered all battles except thest, which defied all reason.
I wonder what I will bring back. Slowly, I turn my gaze to Jurrek. He alone earns my trust among the Ash Pack members for now. We exchange a look, an understanding passing between us.
Blue nods gently when I looked at her. Everything is in motion. It is time for me to rise to glory.<fn805f> Latest content published on f?ndnovel</fn805f>
I turn from everyone who has apanied me and walk forward, pushing the door open.
The moment I step in, it ms shut behind me and Darkness, thick, suffocating darkness swallows me whole.
