Chapter 49: Off to Battle

*TRAE’S POV*

I stood beside Mira, my heart swelling with profound pride. My bite mark on her shoulder was already beginning to heal. She had actually done it. She had released her inner wolf by fearlessly putting herself in harm’s way and listening to her instincts.

As I glanced down at the broken bracelet in my palm and noticed that the crest on my arm, once bearing the solitary image of a wolf, it now depicted two wolves seated side by side, symbolizing our unity and shared strength.

"Mira," I whispered. "Look at my arm."

She gazed at the crest, her eyes shimmering with wonder and concern.

"Two wolves, side by side!” she gasped.

“And the Moon is full now,” I added in awe.

“We actually did it!” she exclaimed. “We are one step closer to fulfilling the prophecy. But I’m not sure whether I am excited or scared… I still have no idea how to hone my wolf.”
