Allora's emerald green eyes, akin to the color of my own, brimmed with an overwhelming sadness that seemed to penetrate the depths of her soul. Every word she uttered was laced with immense effort, as though speaking required an extraordinary expenditure of her energy.

As I observed her distraught state, I could not help but feel a sense of bewilderment. When I had undergone similar experiences in the past, my emotional turmoil had not seemed as profound as what she was currently enduring.

Was this the true essence of motherhood?

Did the role of a mother encompass such a profound empathy that witnessing her child's suffering became unbearable to the point of suffocation?

Moved by her pain, I instinctively reached out and embraced Allora, seeking solace in the familiar warmth of her presence. I pressed my face against her neck, finding comfort in the scent that was uniquely hers. "It's alright," I whispered softly, my voice trembling with compassion. "I am finally back with you now, and from this moment onward, you no longer need to rely solely on faith for hope."

Overwhelmed with emotions, Allora choked back a sob and returned my embrace, her hold tightening around me with such force that I could feel the immense strength that belonged to an Alpha. It served as a reminder of the indomitable power she possessed, both as a mother and as the Alpha of our pack.

"I will let everyone know that you are the Alpha of the future and no one will dare to bully you like that from now on. As for that family and Miguel, I will make sure they get what they deserve." Allora said to me firmly.

Joseph's expression registered surprise when he discovered the truth about my lineage, my connection to Allora. He absentmindedly stroked his chin, a thoughtful gesture, before his words escaped his lips. "I can hardly fathom that I saved the future Alpha," he remarked, his voice tinged with a mix of awe and disbelief.

However, despite his words, I could not discern a genuine sense of joy radiating from Joseph. Something seemed to be weighing heavily on his mind, burdening his features with a trace of unease.

Not wanting to remain oblivious to his inner turmoil, I mustered the courage to inquire, my voice laced with hesitance. "You do not appear to be particularly elated," I ventured cautiously.

Joseph's lips curved into a reassuring smile, but his eyes held a hint of weariness as he responded. "No, it's nothing," he assured me, attempting to dismiss his concerns. "I am simply overwhelmed by the significance of this moment. You see, MoonWar hasn't witnessed the emergence of an alpha heir in a staggering eighteen years."

Accepting his explanation with a nod, I chose not to pursue the matter any further. Instead, I positioned myself beside Allora, my presence a silent reassurance as I listened to the multitude bestow their blessings and congratulations upon her.

Allora's countenance exuded sheer delight, her smile refusing to wane. In that moment, she appeared utterly content, as if the weight of the world had been lifted off her shoulders.

Lyssa was obviously very excited about this too, and she was screaming in my head, "Lya! You are going to be the Alpha? Oh my God! I never thought I'd be an alpha wolf, can you understand my excitement?"

"Of course, Lyssa, I never thought I'd be the Alpha either." I listened to Allora talking to the crowd and secretly answered Lyssa in my head.

After I said this, Lyssa suddenly became very silent, and I was keenly aware that her mood was somewhat low.

"What's wrong, Lyssa, why do I get the feeling you are not too happy?"

"No, I am happy." Lyssa's voice trailed off after she eagerly retorted, "I just suddenly felt guilty, if I had awakened a little later, maybe you would have ... been my fault, I did not protect you. If I had shown up earlier, you would not have been humiliated by Miguel at all."

I could not imagine that Lyssa was actually sad because of these things. I was touched in my heart, and I knew that this was a sign that Lyssa cared about me, and she was like Allora, my family.

"Lyssa, you do not have to feel bad about this, if you had not saved me, I probably never would have known in my life that I could be an Alpha."

I reassured Lyssa, "Before I turned eighteen, I lived alone in Kendall's house and felt like a small boat in a rough sea, no one cared about me and a single wave could tip me over. Under such difficult and dangerous conditions, I survived until I was eighteen, and then I had two family members, you and Allora, who truly loved me, and that was my greatest blessing."

Once the introductions with the MoonWar executives were complete, Allora guided me towards the heart of MoonWar's training ground. As we entered the expansive open space, the sheer magnitude of the area overwhelmed me. The atmosphere buzzed with an electric energy, charged with determination and raw physicality.

Stretching out before us, the training ground unveiled a vivid tableau of dedication and discipline. In every corner of the vast expanse, men and women, their torsos bared, their muscles rippling with exertion, engaged in rigorous training regimens. Their hair, meticulously tied up high to keep it out of their way, accentuated their focused and tenacious demeanor.

Amidst this captivating display of dedication, my attention was drawn to a fierce confrontation unfolding before my eyes. Two individuals, their bodies honed to perfection, engaged in a gripping sparring match.

The clash of their movements echoed with an almost bone-chilling clang, reverberating through the air and resonating with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine.

Each blow, delivered with calculated precision, elicited a primal reaction. The clash of their bodies reverberated through the training ground, a testament to their unyielding spirit and unwavering commitment. It was as if the very essence of their strength and determination collided, their resolute spirit manifesting in every resounding impact.

As I observed this mesmerizing display of athleticism, I could not help but feel a mix of awe and trepidation. The scene before me embodied the essence of MoonWar's unwavering dedication to physical prowess, a testament to the grit and determination that defined their pursuit of greatness.

I subconsciously took a step back, only to be stopped by Allora's large and broad hand, "Do not you want to try it, honey?"

"Me?" My shock was palpable in my tone.

After all, I'd only just awakened Lyssa. And to be honest, to wrestle with someone else was a giant challenge that I would definitely lose.

Allora reached out and lifted the red hair that was in front of my eyes, "Why do not you try? Did not you tell me you wanted to be powerful?"

"Yes, but I think this is too fast for me, but I just awakened the wolf ..." I looked at the training ground, the two men just now have transformed into wolves wrestling together, sharp teeth cutting each other's flesh, unlike that they were just training .

Allora also noticed the situation on the training field. After all, almost everyone had stopped and focused on the two wolves in the center of the training field.

"Hey! What are you guys doing!"

With a gentle but determined push, Allora guided me towards Joseph, her voice filled with a mixture of urgency and trust as she entrusted my well-being to him. A bittersweet knot formed in my chest as I watched her retreat, her form gracefully darting towards a mesmerizing spectacle unfolding in the distance.

My gaze fixed on the entangled figures of the wrestling wolves, their snarls and growls reverberating through the air, a symphony of untamed power.

As Allora closed the distance between herself and the wolves, a profound transformation began to take place before my eyes.

In a breathtaking display of mysticism, Allora's body underwent a stunning metamorphosis. Her once-human form dissolved into a shimmering aura of ethereal light, which coalesced into the magnificent shape of a pure white wolf. The moonlight danced upon her fur, casting an otherworldly glow that mirrored the MoonWar totem adorning my shirt.

In that awe-inspiring moment, the realization dawned upon me. The embroidered totem on my shirt, a symbol I had previously dismissed as mere decoration, now revealed its true significance. It was intricately woven to depict Allora's majestic wolf form, a representation of her primal connection to the MoonWar legacy.

As Allora embraced her lupine essence, her newfound form radiated with an indomitable spirit, embodying the raw power and grace that defined the MoonWar lineage.

The realization left me in a state of awe, a profound appreciation for the deep-rooted bond between Allora, her wolf form, and the legacy we both were now a part of.

"Be careful." Allora's strength was so great that it pushed me straight into Joseph's arms, and he held me up, then smiled tenderly at me.

"Thank you." I broke away from Joseph's embrace, embarrassed to be held by a man I had only known for a day.

Allora quickly took control of the two wolves, pressing one side of their heads with her front paws, and rushing the two of them with a low hissing sound, warning them not to go too far.

The two men had by now reverted to human beings and were begging Allora for forgiveness at her paws, their voices sincere.

"I think you should know that MoonWar's sharp teeth and claws will never attack on their companions." Allora turned back to human as well, her voice cold and looking disappointed in the two of them, "Collect your punishment yourselves, and next time you do this, I will clean you up myself."

The two men looked at each other and I saw a deep fear in their eyes. They nodded and ran away, probably to collect their punishment.

"Receiving punishment?" I asked Joseph beside me, "What does that mean?"

"MoonWar has strict discipline and rules, those who make mistakes will be punished according to the rules and need to go to the punishment room by themselves where someone will come to make them remember." Joseph's eyes were firmly fixed on the two men while answering my question.

"Are you okay? They did not scare you, did they?" Allora walked back and asked me in a soft voice. Her tone was careful and sounded like she was worried I would be scared by the scene.

I took a look at Allora, just now when the two wolves were fighting, there was no effort to see who was persuading, and even two men attacked Allora together. However, those two men were quickly defeated by Allora, and Allora was not tired at all, but the two men looked very tired.

Was this the power of the Alpha? I looked at Allora, and at this point there was no longer any fear in my heart from earlier.

"I want to be as strong as you are," I declared, my voice infused with an unwavering determination.

With resolute determination, I clenched my fist tightly, my knuckles turning white as my resolve solidified. The weight of past indignities fueled the fire within me, igniting a fierce desire to prove my worth and silence those who had doubted me.

Every word carried a tangible force, an unyielding conviction that resonated through the air. I was determined to rise above the limitations imposed upon me, to shed the shackles of doubt and insecurity.

My gaze locked with Allora's, seeking validation and understanding, yearning for her guidance in this transformative journey.

Allora's face lit up with a proud smile, her eyes sparkling with a mix of admiration and shared resolve. She embraced my fiery spirit, recognizing the fire burning within me.

Her words, laced with a hint of playful rebellion, held a deeper truth. "That's my girl! Sometimes, my dear, you have to use your fists to assert your authority and show the world who truly holds power."

Her approval bolstered my determination, reinforcing my belief in the strength that lay within me. Allora's words were a reminder that strength is not solely measured by physical prowess but also by the unwavering spirit and resilience that resides within.

Together, we would forge a path that defied expectations, leaving a lasting impact on those who had dismissed us.

In that moment, our bond grew stronger, united by a shared goal and an unspoken understanding. With Allora as my guide, I knew I would face the challenges ahead with unwavering courage, ready to prove the naysayers wrong and unveil the depths of my untapped potential.

Allora's eyes flicked over Joseph and me, then she patted me and Joseph on the shoulders with two separate hands, "Joseph, my good boy, how about I give you Lya and you teach her for me?"

I was a little disappointed that I wanted Allora to be my mentor, because we had only just met and I wanted to spend some more time with her.

But I did not say anything, because I knew that for an Alpha, Allora had countless things to do every day and it was impossible to keep her around me all day.

"Of course, it would be my honor to teach the future Alpha." Joseph looked happy, which made the disappointment in my heart a little less.

Joseph was a beta, and having a beta from a wolf pack teach me was a testament to how much Allora valued me as a daughter.

Joseph proved to be a worthy beta of the MoonWar, he was an excellent mentor and I learned a lot under his tutelage.

The only regret was that I had no way to transform again. If Lyssa had not been encouraging me, I would have even thought that Awakening Wolf was just a dream of mine.
