**************************************************
The full moon hung high over the Moon Treasure Pack, its silvery light illuminating the crumbling ruins of what had once been sacred ground—a place where rituals of old had echoed beneath the celestial sky. The aftermath of the brutal attack still lingered, heavy in the air; broken doors swung on their hinges, scorched earth lay strewn with the remnants of hope, and the palpable weight of loss suffocated the spirit of the pack.
Eila stood in solitude at the edge of the ancient forest, her bare feet sinking into the cool, soft soil that connected her to the land. Her gown, once a flowing white symbol of purity and innocence, was now a grim tapestry of soot and blood, each stain a testament to the horrors she had witnessed. Her golden-brown eyes sparkled with fierce determination—not glistening with tears but ignited with a fiery resolve to protect her people.
She had healed countless wounded souls, using her nascent abilities to mend both flesh and spirit. She had mourned deeply for her parents, broken and bruised beyond recognition, their once-lively laughter silenced forever in the infirmary. She had watched with a heavy heart as mighty warriors, those she admired and revered, fell one by one before the ferocious claws of shadowed beasts—creatures so dark and twisted that their very names were whispered only in fearful tones.
But despite it all, she had not broken. Not yet.
As a chilling wind whipped through the trees, it carried with it the familiar voice of her wolf spirit, Sera, a presence she had come to know as intimately as her heartbeat. "You're stronger than this," Sera urged her voice a blend of warmth and steel. "But strength alone will not save them."
Eila closed her eyes, seeking solace in the whispers of the wind. "Then what will?" she implored, desperation tinging her voice.
"Knowledge. Magic. Power. Allies. And the will to go further than anyone dares to venture," Sera responded each word echoing with the weight of prophecy.
Behind her, the world of her pack stirred slowly back to life. Leonard Blackwell, cold and enigmatic, lurked in the shadows, his piercing icy blue eyes unreadable, holding secrets of their own. The twin heirs—Zois and Lukas—hovered like phantom sentinels in the distance, their gazes intense and conflicted, bound by protectiveness, desire, and darkness that lingered just beneath the surface.
And then there was Nina—the witch enveloped in layers of black lace, an ethereal figure as ancient as time and twice as dangerous—who had inexplicably chosen Eila as her focal point for unknown reasons that lurked in the depths of fate.
Eila was no longer just a daughter of servants; she had been transformed. She was marked. She was mated. She was chosen.
The trials that lay ahead—Moonshine University, unravelling the secrets of her elusive bloodline, and confronting the dark force that threatened to corrupt the very heart of the world's magic—would either forge her into a legendary figure or shatter her completely.
"I will not lose anyone else," she whispered fiercely into the swirling wind, her voice resolute.
"Then become the one they cannot take from," Sera answered her words both a challenge and a promise, igniting the fire within Eila's soul.
