Beneath the Alpha's Moon

Mai’s P.O.V.

The room was pure chaos—a storm of confusion and panic. No one knew how they had ended up here, and the sheer disbelief hung thick in the air. My parents didn’t even notice me at first. Their gazes were locked onto the luminous woman who had pulled them all into this place as if by some divine force.

My arms instinctively tightened around Liam, his fragile frame trembling against me as I stared at the woman glowing like stardust. There was something otherworldly about her—an unshakable presence that demanded attention, that commanded reverence without a single word.

And my parents... my parents responded in kind.

The moment their eyes landed on her, their expressions froze. My father—Alpha Lucian Blackwood, the man whose very name sent people to their knees—dropped down first, sinking to the floor without hesitation. He bowed lower than I had ever seen anyone bow, as if he were kneeling before a force far greater than himself. My mother, the graceful Luna Teresa, followed, lowering herself so deeply that her long, curly hair nearly brushed the ground.

Then, one by one, the others followed suit.

The strange man and woman.

Then Elizabeth.

Except for me.

And Eldur.

And Ollie, who stood stiff and silent, still trying to process the impossible.
