153 Nymeris II Lyla & Nymeris ( her wolf ) It was agony and ecstasy all at once .

My vision blurred , my senses sharpening as my surroundings came alive .

When the transformation was complete , I stood on all fours , my legs trembling beneath me .

I stood there momentarily , revelling in the sensation of being whole , feeling , hearing , and seeing everything .

So , this is what it means to have a wolf .

Youre so dramatic , Lyla , Nymeris chuckled , Now , you owe me a run .

Before I could formulate a coherent response , Nymeris was flying through the forest .

Her paws pounded the grass as she galloped through dense trees , and every muscle in my body worked harmoniously .

Her strides were long and fluid , pushing us forward with speed .

The wind was in her fur , and I revelled in the satisfaction of the run .

The scents of the forest , the wind rushing past my ears .

Gosh ! This is the best feeling fever .

Nymeris .

The name echoed in my mind like an ancient song , and for the first time since forever , calling her that felt like the best choice Ive ever made .

She ran , going deeper into the heart of the forest .

The path twisted severally and climbed , and soon she stopped .

This is my favourite spot , she murmured when we arrived at a waterfall nestled in between the White Mountains .

I gasped , staring at the beauty that greeted me .

Water cascaded over Jagged rocks , shining as clear as crystal , plus the moonlight made it look like a thousand silver drops .

Mist rose from the pool at its base , creating an ethereal veil that seemed to shimmer with hidden magic .

It was so beautiful that I stood there , gazing through Nymeriss eyes .

Then she pushed forward until we approached the waters edge and gazed into it .

For the first time , I truly saw myself .

The other night , in my dream , she had hidden in the shadows , and the only thing I had seen and remembered vividly was her two forked tail .

Now , she took my breath away for the second time .

153 Nymens Everything I thought I had seen that night in my dream paled compared to what I saw here in reality .

Nymeris was magnificent .

Her fur was a blend of silvery white a silver so pure it seemed to capture the moonlight itself- and golden hues that seemed to glow softly in the moonlight , as though somebody had weaved the light of the stars into her coat .

But it was her eyes that held the most magic .

I thought they were blue in my dream , but … They were mesmerizing one as white as freshly fallen snow , the other burning with the amber fire of the sun .

Both colors were a stark contrasty yet they merged in perfect harmony as I stared at her reflection .

Suddenly, a memory stirred in my mind .

This is an excerpt from what I had read in the library while researching Moonsingers centuries ago .

The night sky wept with stars , each tear a reminder of the losses that the Moon Goddess has endured .

She was the mother of all mythical creatures , the supreme watcher of the night sky , and the werewolves were beloved of all creations .

She watched over them for years , nurturing her children like little flowers .

But even a goddess can know pain ; hers came several years later when darkness threatened to consume all she held dear .

Centuries ago , the memories were as fresh as they were yesterday .

The werewolves , her proudest creation noble , fierce , and loyal , guardians of the balance between nature and the mystical forces that governed the world suddenly fell into the snares of the Dark one ! One day, she woke up , and everything changed .

A shadow had fallen over them , seducing them with power and freedom from the law that bound them .

Helpless , she watched as her beloved children fell to the claws and fangs of each other .

Those who listened to the seductive call of the Dark One became something twisted , forsaking her light for the wild , untamed wilderness … These rogue wolves , once noble creatures , became feral and unstoppable , leaving destruction in their wake .

They were stronger , faster and more brutal than ever before , cutting down even the mightiest packs .

Pack after pack her children fell , and the balance of the mythical world teetered on the brink .

Desperate , she created a gift The Moonsinger .

25 A werewolf born with the ability to calm Feral of wolves and heal with the power of its voice .

The Moonsinger would become a beacon of hope , a symbol of her love and mercy , sent to guide her children back to light , and the Moonsinger would appear once every thousand years .

Ten thousand years passed , and the Moonsinger was nowhere to be found .

The Dark Ones army grew spreading across the plain , their strength increasing like wildfire .

Slowly , the memories of the Moonsinger faded .

But a prophecy was given : When Silver Wolf and Golden Sun unite , A child of both worlds shall come to light .

In its veins , the goddesss power flows , To shape the future , for friend or foe .

This Moonsinger would be more than just a healer ; it would fulfil the ancient prophecy .

Depending on Moonsingers choices and those seeking to covet its power , the balance lost long ago will be restored or shattered .

The prophecy .

Id read it in the library .

It was a prophecy given 10,000 years ago after the last Moonsinger died .

Many had dismissed it as mere legend , but seeing myself now in Nymeriss form , the truth glared at me .

I was that prophecy .

It wasnt just about my wolf awakening ; it was something bigger , something ancient .

My existence was tied to a prophecy spoken ten thousand years ago -a destiny I had unknowingly carried all my life .

Im the child of both worlds , I murmured , trembling .

My mind reeled as I stood there , trying to get used to everything .

I could hear the faint rustle of leaves miles away , the scurry of every insect in the underbrush , the soft hum of the mountains and the forest itself .

It was as if the world had opened up to me , and I was no longer just a part of it … I was it .

This is me , I whispered internally , staring at Nymeris with awe .

Nymeriss voice filtered into my mind .

This is us .

Why me ? I whispered though I wasnt sure if I was asking Nymeris or myself .

Because you were chosen .

Nymeris answered .

Because you are strong enough to bear I dont feel strong .

I admitted , feeling the familiar anxious knot in my chest .

I feel ….

terrified .

Nymeris stepped forward , nudging our reflection with her paw .

Look at us , Lyla .

Do you see weakness ? I hesitated before lifting my head .

My reflection rippled , the proud wolf staring back at me , exuding strength and grace .

Nymeriss amber eye glinted with determination while the white one radiated calm .

No.

I whispered .

I see … something else .

You see what youre meant to be .

I sat down , my tail curling around me .

The forest seemed to grow quieter as I kept my gaze trained on my reflection in the water .

I dont know if I can do this , Nymeris .

What if I fail ? What if I cant live up to what Im supposed to be ? How can I be two things at once ? Nymeris let out a low , reassuring growl .

Youve already been fighting for this , even before you knew what you were .

Every choice youve made , and battle youve faced has led us here .

Youre ready , Lyla.

The confidence in Nymeriss voice stirred something profound within me .

I thought of every struggle , every loss , every moment of pain I had endured .

Somehow , I had survived it all .

I told you last time that I am more than just a wolf , youre not just a Moonsinger .

Youre both that and this .

Mortal yet divine .

This is our path , Lyla .

Together , we can face whatever comes .

I thought having a wolf meant doing many things except trying to fight , I chuckled dryly .

And youre stunning .

Wait until Lax or Ragnar sees us , her eyes twinkled with mischief .

Im sure whenever we go for runs , youll be the centre of attraction for good reasons that are not your pheromones .

Dont remind me , I cringed .

Also , can we keep this a secret in the meantime ? I dont want anyone … 153 Ny 153 Nymens Why ? She didnt allow me to finish .

Because one less of a trouble for me .

Well do everything together except show you whenever were with others .

I can control that much , right ? There was a slight pause before she drawled .

Yes .

Good .

Dont worry , in due time , well come out to everyone .

* Dont keep me waiting like before .

Patience has never been one of my virtues .

I took a deep , shuddering breath , my paws flexing against the earth .

I was still afraid , but there was something else now hope .

Determination .

Ill try .

I said , my voice firmer .

Ill do this … but not alone ! Nymeriss pride surged through me .

Youre never alone .

We are one .

And for the first time , I truly believed it .
