Lyra's family had hit rock bottom. Her father, John, had lost his job due to company restructuring, and her mother, Sarah, was struggling to make ends meet with her part-time job.

Lyra, who was 7 years old, felt like her whole world had been turned upside down. She missed her old home, her friends, and the life they used to have. But she was determined to make the best of their new situation.

She loved to explore the woods. It was on one of these lonely afternoons, while exploring the woods, that Lyra stumbled upon something that would change her life forever...

The flickering light from the bonfire and lanterns cast a warm, welcoming glow over the vast expanse of land where the party was being held. The scent of wood smoke and pine wafted through the air, mingling with the sound of laughter and music. Sky stood before Alpha Enzo, his expression a careful blend of concern and respect. Enzo, seated in a sturdy outdoor chair made of pine wood, leaned back, the chair creaking softly beneath his weight. The full moon celebration looked more lively than the any other the village has had it made Enzo feel almost at peace. Almost. 


"Alpha," Sky began, his voice low and measured, "Lyra mentioned something that might be worth looking into. She said she saw a shadowy figure lurking between your house and the pine tree nearby." Enzo's sharp, intelligent eyes narrowed slightly as he regarded Sky, his gaze piercing in the dim light.
