Aries finally stepped inside the old building after staring at the door silently for a few moments. The room smelled of old paper and burnt herbs. Candles flickered softly around shelves crowded with scrolls and strange celestial charts. An old wolf sat behind a wooden desk quietly writing something until the moment Aries entered. “...” The old man slowly lifted his gaze. And froze. Those eyes. That pressure. For the briefest moment, genuine fear crossed the old wolf’s face before it disappeared…-

The next morning arrived quietly beneath pale sunlight spilling through the windows of the chapel. Dust floated softly through the air while Ezrina sat near the old wooden table fixing the strap around one of her training gloves. The chapel remained unusually silent. No heavy paws lazily dragging across the floor. No silver fur occupying half the blankets. No annoyed growling whenever she moved too much in the morning. Ezrina tied the strap tightly afterward before standing up casually. Then without…

“It’s much easier to die when nobody expects anything from you.” Rain poured heavily beyond the wooden porch while a younger Ezrina stood silently beneath dim lantern light. Across from her stood one of the older girls from the pack. Beautiful. Admired. Strong. Everything Ezrina was not. “You don’t have a wolf,” the girl continued casually while folding her arms. “So you don’t have responsibilities, no one depends on you, no one expects you to protect anyone.” A soft laugh escaped her…

Aries had not been born into power. His family stood near the bottom of the Vale pack hierarchy for generations. Weak influence. Little authority. The kind of bloodline noble wolves barely acknowledged during gatherings. Perhaps that was why the sudden birth of a monster terrified everyone so deeply. Because power was only admired when it belonged to the right people. And Aries had been born in the wrong family. The moment his wolf awakened too early, fear spread through the pack like poison. Not because…

Night settled quietly over the abandoned chapel. Ezrina lay stretched across the blankets silently, one arm beneath her head while the other traced absent circles against the fabric beside her. The empty space next to her felt strangely large tonight. Too quiet. Too cold. Without realizing it, soft humming slowly slipped past her lips afterward. The same lullaby she had hummed years ago beneath a storm. Gentle. Sleepy. Warm. The melody echoed faintly through the ruined chapel while her reddish-brown…

The decision was made sometime during the evening. Aries stood near the outside the worn out chapel, as the folded paper remained held loosely between his fingers. Old. Worn. Yet preserved carefully for years. The address his brother had given him. A way to disappear. A way to finally bury the Vale name completely. Blue eyes lingered on the paper for several long moments afterward. 'If I’m going to enter Moonveil…' 'I need a proper identity first.' A quiet sigh escaped him. The journey itself…

Silence settled heavily through the abandoned chapel after Ezrina left. Only the distant sound of rainwater dripping through broken ceilings echoed softly through the old stone building. A large figure lay stretched lazily across the blankets near the altar. Aries. In human form. Long black hair spilled messily across the blankets beneath him, soft strands falling over sharp blue eyes that remained half-lidded in thought. The same terrifying wolf that towered over Ezrina in his beast form now looked…

The moment Ezrina stepped through the gates of Moonveil Academy, she felt the attention shift toward her almost instantly. Whispers spread quietly through the courtyard. Not loud enough to be considered rude. But loud enough to be heard. “That’s her?” “The wolfless girl?” “She’s smaller than I expected.” “No wolf and still got invited here…” “I heard she killed a rogue alone.” “That has to be exaggerated.” “Maybe the academy accepted her out of pity.” “Pity…

“Hey, you wolf… let me up already. I’ll be late for academy.” Aries refused to move. Instead, the massive silver wolf pressed himself more heavily across Ezrina’s legs, pretending to sleep while cold morning rain echoed softly through the abandoned chapel. The ruined stained-glass windows above them allowed pale morning light to spill across old blankets scattered over the stone floor. Ezrina groaned weakly beneath him, fingers pushing uselessly against thick silver…

ARIES'S POV Everything about Ezrina had changed over the years. The tiny frightened child who once hid beneath a torn hood deep within the forest no longer existed. Reddish-brown hair now spilled across the old blankets beneath her in messy waves, carrying the scent of rain, smoke, and wild forest winds no matter how much time passed. Whenever pale morning light slipped through the shattered stained-glass windows of the abandoned chapel, warm copper tones flickered softly through those strands. She had…

“Oh, the starry nights and the princess of the moon Could you chase away the fears? The little one is waiting to see the light Oh, The starry nights and the princess of the moon Could you teach us to be brave like you The little one’s ready to run away from the dark...” ... The rain that night felt endless. Cold drops slipped through the trees as a little girl ran barefoot deeper into the forest, struggling to keep her hood from falling over her face. Ezrina could still hear their voices behind…
