The group exchanged wary glances, their expressions guarded as they regarded me with cautious curiosity. One of them, a weathered–looking wolf with piercing eyes, stepped forward, his voice cautious but polite.
“The Alpha’s residence is just beyond the central square,” he replied, gesturing in the direction of a grand structure nestled amidst the trees. “But 1 must ask what brings you to our pack territory“”
1 offered a friendly smile, hoping to put them at ease as I carefully chose my words.
“I’m simply passing through,” I replied smoothly, careful to keep my tone casual. But I heard wonderful things about Crescent Moon pack and couldn’t resist exploring for myself.

I wandered through the bustling marketplace, my mind raced with possibilities, each more daunting than the last. How could I hope to find Nesta in a pack as vast as Crescent Moon, especially when I couldn’t even show her picture withour rating suspicion?
Lost in my thoughts, I barely registered the passing faces and voices around me, my senses dulled by the weight of my own uncertainty.
Everywhere I looked, there were reminders of the life I once knew and the woman who had vanished without a trace.
With a heavy sigh, I continued to drift through the crowded streets my steps slow and aimless. The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the cobblestone paths, and still, there was no sign of Nesta.
The evening approached, I found myself growing increasingly restless, the gnawing ache of uncertainty twisting in my chest. With each passing moment, the realization sunk in deeper–I was no closer to finding Nesta than I had been when I first arrived.
With a heavy heart, I turned towards the Alpha’s residence, knowing that the day’s fruitless search had brought me no closer to the answers I sought
As the shadows lengthened and the night settled over Crescent Moon pack, I couldn’t shake the sinking feeling that time was running out, and Nestala fate remained shrouded in mystery.
I made my way through the bustling streets of Crescent Moon pack, my determination to find Nesta burning brighter with each step. The weight of my mission pressed heavily on my shoulders, driving me forward despite the uncertainty that lay ahead.
Finally, I arrived at the imposing structure that served as the Alpha’s residence. With a deep breath, I squared my shoulders and approached the entrance, sterling myself for the encounter that awaited me.
Inside, the grandeur of the Alpha’s domain took my breath away. The halls were adorned with intricate tapestries and gleaming silver accents, a lestament to the pack’s prosperity and power. As I navigated the labyrinthine corridors, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe at the sight of such opulence.
At last, I reached the Alpha’s chambers, where a pair of guards stood watch outside the ornate doors. With a nod of acknowledgment, I announced my presence, my voice steady despite the nervous fluttering in my chest.
Moments later, the doors swung open, revealing the Alpha himself. He stood tall and imposing his gaze piercing as he regarded me with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.
“I seek an audience with the Alpha,” I said, my voice firm as I met his gaze head–on. “My name is “I hesitated for a moment, weighing my words carefully. “My name is Nolan, and I come seeking your assistance.
The Alpha’s expression softened slightly at my words, and he motioned for me to enter his chambers. I stepped inside, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of trepidation at the thought of revealing my true intentions and identity.
Taking a deep breath, I squared my shoulders and met the Alpha’s gaze once more.
“I am searching for someone.” I began, my voice steady despite the turmoil raging within me. “A woman named Nesta. I believe she may be in danger, and I need your help to find her.”
The Alpha regarded me for a long moment, his eyes searching mine for any sign of deception. Then, to my surprise, he nodded, a flicker of understanding passing between us.
“I will do everything in my power to together, we will End her.”

you,” he said, his voice firm with determination “Tell me everything you know about this woman, and
I spoke, a sinking feeling settled in the pit of my stomach, a nagging suspicion that the Alpha knew more than he was letting on. His demeanor was guarded, his words carefully measured, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was withholding information,
Despite the doubts swirling in my mind. I pressed on, recounting everything 1 knew about News–her appearance, her habits, and the circumstances that had led to her diappearance.
With each word, I watched the Alpha’s reaction closely, searching for any sign that my words struck a chord with him.
But to my frustration, his expression remained unreadable, his features schooled into a mask of neutrality. It was as if he were hiding something. concealing the truth behind a facade of indifference.
The conversation wore on, I found myself growing increasingly uneasy, the gnawing sense of doubt gnawing at my resolve, Could I trust the Alpha to help me find Nesta, or was I merely grasping at straws, hoping against hope for a resolution that may never come!
Despite the uncertainty that clouded my mind, one thing remained clear. I would not rest until 1 uncovered the truth. Whether the Alpha chose to aid me in my quest or not, I would find Nesta, no matter the cost
With determination burning in my eyes, I informed Alpha Lara that I wouldn’t be leaving Crescent Moon pack until Nesta was found. His response was measured, a nod of acknowledgment that betrayed little emotion. Yet, beneath the surface, I sensed a subtle shift in his demeanor–a flicker of understanding, perhaps, or a hint of resignation.
Though he didn’t voice his thoughts aloud. I could tell that Alpha Luca was well aware of who I was and the significance of my presence in his pack The weight of my purpose hung heavy in the air between us, an unspoken agreement that bound us together in our shared quest
As the gravity of my words sented upon us, I euldn’t help but wonder what secrets lay hidden beneath the surface of Crescent Moon pack. Was Alpha Luca truly as forthcoming as he seemed, or was there more to his silence than met the eye!
Regardless of the answers that cluded me, one thing remained certain: I was prepared to do whatever it took to find Nesta and bring her back to safety. And with the Alpha’s reluctant agreement, I knew that my journey had only just begun.
