REMUS’ IN DILEMMA

The gathering of the council chambers to decide the fate of Tessy in the pack was successful but ended in chaos. The chaos arose when the hollow alpha declared Tessy, part of the hollow pack.

Even though Lenora rejected the declaration, she was forced to accept the final decision.

Tessy was not meant to be amongst wolves. Because humans existing in the same territory as wolves are considered an abomination. But for Tessy, she never thought about that and fate has brought her to the Hollow pack to fulfil the prophecy of the old man.

Tessy has come to reclaim her position, but she finds herself in the hollow pack where fate dedecides her existence in the pack. If she wasn't brought into the pack by the prophecy of the old man, she would long been dead and her flesh used as meat by the wolves. And her bones shattered on the divine hollow ground.

Saved by Elias, Tessy was given another chance of survival and to reclaim her position but she would prove herself to the entire members of the pack not to be a threat. She must show her true nature or be sent into exile, just like Remus stated during the debate session to determine her fate in the pack.

Despite her boldness, courage, and fearlessness earning her approval in answering questions about her true nature, doubts still lingered.

She was accused of pretense and must show her true nature. If they knew Tessy's arrival in the forest had been an adventure she had longed for, and her presence was fostered by the prophecy of reclaiming her position and strength, the pack. They would never accuse her of pretense or call her a threat. Before Tessy's transformation to a human, she had already existed as a wolf and ruled her pack for five full moons. When she died out of frustration in a battle, she transformed into a human and was adopted into a family that she never found comfort in.

Now, Tessy has fully been declared part of the hollow pack. She has been warned not to reveal secrets about the Hollow pack or associate with others in the enchanted forest except approved by the alpha. She was told to remain in the pack and never leave without anyone's consent.

She will be monitored by Lenora and Revanna while Elias guides her movements. If she is a threat, it will be figured out and her true nature must surface.

But one thing is left: Remus is in a dilemma when he finds himself loving two women. Revanna and Tessy. He had unexpectedly connected with Tessy but forgets she fought tirelessly to claim Revanna. It would be a disgrace to him and the entire pack members to have two Lunas in a pack. A wolf and a human.

Indeed, Remus had consistently been a protector, a leader of excellence, and a lover only when time allowed. The blood of his fallen queen still clung to his memories and the battles he had fought to shape the Hollow Pack into a pool of strength where rivals whose body parts touched the water have evoked an endless war.

But even as the strongest of the alphas, he was not immune to the unpredictable tides of the heart.

When he first saw Princess Tessy, it was not just love. It was curiosity, intrigue—a deviation that disrupted the balance of his world. She was human, softhearted in a way his kind had never been, yet there was a hidden fire within her that called to something deep within him.

Remus had always been drawn to strength, and Tessy, despite her unpredictable nature, was undeniably strong.

But love? Love had been a battle of its own. He had fought for love countlessly. He had fought tirelessly to bring Revanna into his pack, to make her his queen. She had been a force of nature, the queen of another pack, fierce and wild, a woman who could meet him step for step in war and strategy.

Remus had moved war to claim her, spilling blood in the name of unity and power. And yet, in the end, their bond had not been forged in love but in necessity.

Revanna had been taken, shaped by the laws of their world, bound to him by the customs of the werewolves rather than the pull of the heart.

Time had a way of eroding even the strongest convictions. As the days passed and his path intertwined with Tessy's, the edges of his past began to blur. He did not forget Revanna, but the weight of his struggle for her no longer felt as important.

Tessy's presence shifted the very foundation of his beliefs. She was not a warrior queen like Revanna; she was a spark of something new, something untarnished by the old ways of their world. Tessy gave him reasons to feel his struggle to adopt Revanna was a past.

Tessy turned to laughter in the face of darkness, rebellion against the fate that had been forced upon her. And Remus, who had always known his place, found himself questioning everything he had built.

At first, he fought against it. But his loyalty to his past, to Revanna, to the choices he had made, never allowed him to fully embrace what was growing between him and Tessy. But love does not yield to reason. It creeps in through the cracks, whispering truths that cannot be ignored.

Remus began to crave her presence, to seek her out in moments of quiet. The walls he had built for so long crumbled under the weight of something he had never truly allowed himself to feel.

Revanna had been a queen under a forced love; Tessy became the right one to his heart. He realized this too late, perhaps—realized that the battles he had fought for power meant nothing if love had not been a part of them. Once in a blue moon, she would embrace Revanna's presence and confess his love to her.

But now, He had bled for a woman who had never been his, and now he stood in the middle of something real, something that did not need war to be justified.

But fate is not kind to those who forget their past. The Shadow of his decisions lingered all day, waiting for the moment to remind him that love was never without consequence. The past had a way of resurfacing, and Remus knew that what he had fought to build with Revanna would not simply disappear because his heart had chosen another.

Tessy, for all her warm gestures, was still regarded as an outsider in their world. The Hollow Pack would not welcome her easily, not when she was human, not when she represented change. And Revanna's name was still carved into their history, a reminder of the war that had shaped them all.

The deeper Remus fell for Tessy, the more he realized the weight of his past mistakes. He had fought tirelessly to bring a queen into his pack, and now, he stood ready to let another take her place. Would the past allow him such peace? Or would it demand its due, as it always had?

For the first time in his life, Remus faced a battle he could not win with teeth and claws. It was a dilemma, a war of the heart, a war of choices that could not be undone. And in the quiet moments, as he watched Tessy laugh, as he felt the warmth of something real take root in his soul, he wondered.

Had he spent his life fighting for the wrong thing?

The answer, he feared, would come sooner than he was ready for.

Remus grows protective of Tessy despite the pack's distrust.

Would Remus' decision shatter the hollow pack's peace or would the love and affection unite them, despite his deep-rooted feelings for Tessy?
