After ending the connection, Ronan’s gaze shifted to the cloth bag tossed aside earlier
He had previously flung it away like trash–but now, something had rolled halfway out of it. A dark, metallic edge peeked from the opening
Ronan hesitated for a few seconds before reaching over and picking it up.]
On his typically cold and handsome face, a rare flicker of complexity appeared.]
“Kane,” he called, uncertain, “What is this thing?–
In the front passenger seat, Kane turned to look.
He stared at the object in Ronan’s hand for several seconds, a vague suspicion forming in his mind.
To be sure, he snapped a photo, uploaded it to the Pack’s shared platform, and tuned the lunar frequency for fast recognition
“Alphat” Kane declared confidently. That’s a Moon Mirror Talisman Disc–a relic from the Eastern Wolf Clans old magic system. It can–||
“Shut up.”
Ronan cut him off coldly,
With a look of disgust, he tossed the artifact back into the bag]
Back at Moonshade Garden.[
Ronan had just stepped out of the car when he nearly collided with the badder, Gareth, who was rushing by in a panic
“Alpha–1”
Clearly not expecting Ronan to return at this hour, Gareth looked visibly red
Ronan’s dark, stormy gare landed on him like a weight. His thin lips parted coldly

Do the monitor, three massive snow in were moving silently through the underground passage, closing in on me completely unaware.]
There was still time. The gate could still be shut
But konan didn’t move.||
He lounged back in his chair lazily, tie a cigarette, and, through the pale swirl of smoke]]

My wolf soul surged, restless like crashing waves.
Instantly alert. I rose to my feet-
The tron chain around my ankle clanked loudly with my movement[]
Three enormous snow mastiffs emerged from the shadows, surrounding me.

The sound acted like a trigger.]
The mandis lunged
Massive jaws opened wide, and with thunderous roars, they launched at me
Intent on tearing me limb from limb.
In the surveillance room, Gareth named his face away, unable to bear the bloody scene that was about to unfold
Ronan, digarette between his lips, narrowed his black eyes.
Locked in on the monitor, expression unreadable ||

But I stood still.
Unmoving
In the very next second. I raised my left hand, fingers weaving through the air to form a Moon Sigil Seal
From the deep crimson mole at the corner of my eye, the Moon Goddess’s Mark surfaced-
A faint flash of bloodlight flickered, as though an ancient power buried deep in my soul had began to awaken.
Invisible spiritual energy pulsed outward like a tidal wave,
