Rumors started harmless at first, then it became harsh enough to hurt. By the end of the week, they were everywhere.

People whispered when I entered the room. The students at school. The pack guards. Even some of the house staff. They didn’t say my name outright, but I heard enough“the Alpha’s wife”

“prophecy reborn.”

I tried to ignore it, but it followed me everywhere.

Brian called me in the afternoon. His tone was serious. council’s getting restless. They’re not just curious

anymore they’re scared.”

“You,” he said flatly. “They think your presence is triggering something. Don’t ask me what, but it’s spreading fast.”

I rubbed my forehead, pacing the room. “Let them think whatever they want.”

“Don’t underestimate them,” he warned. “You’re not dealing with gossip anymore, Amy. They’re calling for an inquiry.”

That word inquiry sent a strange chill through me. It wasn’t just a meeting. In pack law, it meant interrogation.

After the call, I couldn’t sit still. My mind kept circling back to Mrs. Carter. She had been quiet lately, too quiet. Every time our paths crossed, she looked like she was calculating something.

That evening, I went straight to her home office. I didn’t knock, I just walked in.

She was by the window with her reading glasses low on her nose, flipping through papers. When she saw me, she set them down carefully. “Amy,” she said, her voice calm. “You should have called first.”

“I didn’t come for small talk,” I said. “The council’s calling an inquiry. About me.”

Her eyes flickered, but she didn’t look surprised. “I know.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“Because I hoped it wouldn’t reach you so soon,” she said.

I folded my arms. “They think I’m hiding something. Are they right?”

She didn’t answer right away. Her silence said enough.

“I deserve the truth,” I pressed. “You said the council could teach me to use my powers but you never said

why I have them in the first place.”

She turned fully to me, the softness gone from her eyes. “Because you were never supposed to exist,” she said quietly.

I froze. “What?”

“You weren’t born by chance,” she continued. “You were chosen, summoned by forces older than any of us. Your mother was part of a sealed bloodline that was meant to end generations ago.”

“That doesn’t make sense,” I said. “My parents were ordinary. They weren’t-”

“They weren’t supposed to have you,” she interrupted, her tone sharp now. “When your mother conceived, the prophecy should have stayed buried. But something interfered.

You were born under a rare celestial alignment, the kind that only appears once every thousand years.”

I felt my stomach twist. “What prophecy?”

She hesitated, then exhaled. “The Moonstone Prophecy.”

The words made my skin prickle. I’d read them somewhere before, in Daniel’s old book, in the hidden letter. Guardians of the Moon. Sacred vows. Betrayal.

I whispered, “You mean the one that says a child of the Moon will rise and change the balan

and shadow?”

Her eyes flicked up to mine. “Yes. That child is you.”

I stared at her, searching her face for some hint of humor, but she wasn’t joking.

“You’re telling me I’m supposed to… what? Bring chaos?”

between light

“Not chaos,” she said softly. “But your bloodline carries power the council has feared for centuries. That’s why we hid you. Your mother’s lineage was sealed to keep the prophecy from awakening. And yet, somehow, it has.”

My pulse quickened. “So my wolf, my strength, even the council’s interest is all because of some ancient story?”

“It’s not a story,” she said firmly. “The Moonstone wolves were once guardians and keepers of divine energy. But when one of them broke the sacred vow, the balance shifted. It was said that the next to bear the Moonstone mark would decide whether to restore the light or destroy it.”

I sank into the chair across from her. “You’re saying I could destroy everything?”

Mrs. Carter looked at me sadly. “I’m saying you could change everything. And not everyone wants that change.”

I let out a shaky laugh, but it didn’t sound like me. “This is insane.”

“I wish it were,” she said. “But the inquiry isn’t just about your power, Amy. It’s about control. The council wants to know which side of the prophecy you’ll stand on. And if they can’t be sure, they’ll remove the risk.”
