The blue light radiating from Tala grew brighter, fighting against the Blood Moon's crimson glow. The Mother serpent hissed in surprise, her massive coils tightening around Tala.
"What is happening?" Elias whispered, his strength still returning from his transformation.
Aurora felt something stir inside her—a power she'd never felt before. The Blood Moon called to her wolf, and for the first time in her life, her wolf answered with a roar instead of a whimper.
"I can feel her," Aurora gasped, clutching her chest. "My wolf—she's waking up completely."
Elias's eyes widened. "Aurora, your eyes!"
The pack members stepped back in awe. Aurora's eyes weren't just glowing with the normal gold of a shifted wolf. They shimmered with swirls of silver and blue, casting light like twin moons.
"IMPOSSIBLE," the Mother serpent boomed, her massive head swinging toward Aurora. "THE MOONBORN LINEAGE WAS DESTROYED CENTURIES AGO."
