Chapter 67: A Pack Divided
Luna POV
The sound of screaming woke me up.
I bolted upright in my bed, heart pounding against my chest. The screams were coming from outside, near the pack houses. Multiple voices, all screaming at once. Something was badly wrong.
I threw on my robe and ran barefoot into the cold morning air. Other pack members were walking out of their homes too, looking confused and scared. The yelling was getting louder.
"What’s happening?" someone yelled.
That’s when I saw them.
A group of our strongest warriors were backing away from the tree line, their faces white with fear. They were looking at something in the shadows between the trees. Something that made big wolves whimper like puppies.
"Shadow creatures," one of them gasped. "Dozens of them. Just standing there, watching us."
My blood turned to ice. I’d heard the stories about what happened at the event, but seeing those things in real life was different. They looked like dogs made of living darkness, with eyes that glowed red like burning coals.
But that wasn’t the worst part.
The worst part was seeing Lily standing among them like she belonged there.
