Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 220

The first howl came just as the last rays of sunlight disappeared over the horizon. Elyra froze, her spoon halfway to her mouth as the haunting sound echoed through the forest.

Dain set his fork down, his muscles coiled like a predator ready to pounce. “Did you hear that?”

Elyra nodded slowly, her golden eyes darting to the window. “It sounded… close.”

Matthew glanced between them, his brow furrowed. “It’s probably just wolves. They’ve been coming down from the higher mountains lately.”

Elyra and Dain exchanged a look. This was no ordinary wolf.

That night, Elyra couldn’t sleep. She lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her heart racing every time the howl echoed through the forest.

“You’re not going out there,” she said firmly, closing the door behind her.

“I wasn’t planning to,” Dain shot back, but his tone betrayed him.

Elyra crossed her arms. “It’s dangerous, Dain. We don’t even know what’s out there.”

“That’s exactly why I need to see,” he argued, his orange eyes flashing. “What if it’s something connected to us? What if it knows what we are?”
