The moon hung low in the sky, its silver glow bathing the werewolf community in ethereal light. The air buzzed with energy as wolves of all ages gathered for their nightly training. For most, this was a chance to showcase their strength and bond with their pack. For Elena, it was another reminder of her inadequacy.
Elena stood at the edge of the training ground, watching as her peers transformed effortlessly. Their wolves were sleek, powerful, and majestic, each reflecting the pride of their bloodlines. But when Elena tried, there was nothing. No shift, no connection to her wolf. Just emptiness.
"Still nothing, huh?" sneered Darren, one of the alpha's sons. His words cut deep, but Elena refused to show it. "Maybe you're not even a real wolf," he added, laughing as others joined in.
Elena clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. She had heard the insults a thousand times before, but they still stung. She turned away, heading deeper into the forest to escape their jeers.
As she wandered, her mind raced. Why hadn't her wolf emerged? She had trained tirelessly, meditated, and followed every ritual, but nothing worked. The elders whispered behind her back, calling her an anomaly, a disgrace to the pack's lineage.
A rustle in the bushes made her freeze. Her heightened senses picked up a presence-something or someone was watching her. She spun around, heart pounding, but saw nothing.
"Show yourself!" she demanded, her voice trembling.
For a moment, the forest was silent, save for the rustling leaves. Then, a pair of glowing golden eyes emerged from the darkness. Elena's breath hitched as a massive wolf stepped into the moonlight. It wasn't like any wolf she had seen before-its aura was ancient, almost regal.
Before she could react, the wolf let out a low growl and disappeared into the shadows, leaving Elena shaken. Who-or what-was that?
She returned to the pack, her mind racing. She didn't know it yet, but this encounter would change her life forever.
