Bella
I gripped the rare newspaper, the rough paper rubbing my callused
fingers. The headline blared from the paper written in the sun goddess’s
territory. I clutched it tightly as if it would disintegrate if I let go.
Anything written outside our territory, much less from the rival clan, was
hard to find, forbidden even.
Horrific Discovery: Six Sun Goddess Shifters Found
Mutilated in Cursed Lands of Moon Goddess!
Six bodies were found outside the village, torn apart and
gnawed on. All shifters that belonged to the Sun
goddess were unfortunate enough to find themselves in
the cursed lands of the moon goddess…
I quickly skimmed the article.
The bite marks indicated it was a wolf attack. The only shifters that
belonged to the moon territory are now fighting and attacking the
brothers and sisters it left behind.
A howl pulled my gaze from the words of the article I clutched. I’d
found it discarded in a bin as I walked the chilly way to the bookstore.
Someone was smuggling outside paraphernalia in. If they saw me with it,
I’d be the next victim found in a field, dead and covered in bite marks, if I
was lucky. There were worse things than death.
My breath hitched, and a plum of white formed as I exhaled sharply. I
didn’t remember it being this cold this early into spring. Everything seemed
stuck in winter’s embrace, as if she were reluctant to release her hold and let
spring take over. The seasons were fickle like that.
Six was an ungodly number of bodies, but how they were found meant
they had made a terrible decision. One that brought them directly into the
forbidden forest. Legend had it that was the most straightforward path back
to the sun goddess’s lands.
Rumors also said that these lands were technically a part of her territory,
but the moon goddess had claimed them long ago. The wolf shifter beside
me bumped my shoulder and snarled as if it were my fault. His teeth flashed
as they elongated slightly, a growl reverberating deep from his chest. I
wanted to glare and shout, but it would only worsen things. So I did what I
knew I was supposed to do. I averted my eyes until he passed.
The wolves were once on the side of the sun, but centuries ago, they
willingly let themselves be bound to the moon. Leaving the wolves no
choice but to shift under her gaze when she reached her highest in the night
sky. Though they still had the power to transform at all times, the full moon
brought out an undeniable urge within them. As if it were a command from
a higher power – and only then could their human forms be left behind.
The nearer the full moon, the more agitated they became, their
suppressed rage boiling over until it was impossible to contain. They shed
their human skin, transforming into a feral and relentless version of
themselves, driven by instinct and hunger for power.
I prayed we didn’t have any incidents today.
