Luna Aurora (Alpha Fenrir)

Chapter

210

The moon hung high and full in the night sky, its silvery glow bathing the forest in an otherworldly light. Dain tossed and turned in his bed, his fiery orange eyes moving restlessly beneath his lids.

In his dream, he stood in a clearing, surrounded by towering trees that seemed to stretch endlessly into the sky. The air was thick and heavy, and the ground beneath him glowed red, as if the earth itself was bleeding.

A deep growl rumbled through the forest, shaking the ground. Dain spun around, his breath catching as a massive wolf emerged from the shadows. Its fur was dark as midnight, and its eyes glowed with an eerie crimson light. "Dain," it growled, its voice a deep, resonant snarl. "You cannot hide."

The wolf lunged, and Dain woke with a gasp, his chest heaving and his sheets soaked with sweat. His room was dark, but the dream felt so real that he half-expected the wolf to be standing there, watching him. Across the hall, Elyra sat up in bed, her golden eyes wide. She'd had the same dream again the red moon, the massive wolf, its voice echoing in her ears. She shivered, pulling the blanket around her shoulders.
