Chapter 4 - The Reckoning

The air hung heavy with silence, broken only by the soft groans of those knocked to the ground by Selena's overwhelming power. Even Damien struggled to stand, his usual arrogance replaced by disbelief.

Selena's silver eyes swept over the pack. Their fear, their doubt, it no longer mattered.

From the shadows, a figure stepped forward tall and commanding, his fur a deep charcoal gray with streaks of silver. The Elder of Bloodfang pack.

"Selena," his voice was calm but firm. "Your return is unexpected, and your power undeniable. But strength alone will not restore what you have lost."

Selena's gaze locked with his, unwavering. "I don't seek restoration. I seek justice."

Damien spat on the ground, struggling to rise. "You're nothing but a broken mate playing at power. You'll never be Luna."

Her lips curled into a cold smile. "I am no longer your Luna."

The Elder nodded thoughtfully. "If you truly wish to claim your place, you must prove your loyalty to the pack and the strength of your heart."

Selena stepped forward, light radiating from her like a beacon. "Then let this be the beginning. I am not the girl you cast aside, I am the Moon's Chosen, and I will lead this pack into a new era."

A hush fell over the training yard as the pack absorbed her words.

Damien's eyes burned with fury, but Selena was already turning away, ready to face whatever

trials awaited her.
