Chapter 1:

Narrator POV:

Today was no different from any other day. The sun was shining as the adults trained, and the pups played together. Among the other pups stood a 5-year-old Mileena, who had transformed into a stunning young girl with fair skin and black hair. Her parents worship the blessing and express gratitude to the moon goddess daily. Her parents adore her and consider her their greatest treasure.

Every opportunity they had, Sapphire and Jedidiah expressed nothing but unconditional love for Mileena. Known for her popularity, Mileena had a wide circle of friends and was regarded as sweet and kind by others. People are naturally drawn to Mileena's presence because she gives off a unique warm sensation, unlike most other pups. No one can put the feeling into words.

While playing hide and seek, Mileena decided to hide in the forest. Surrounded by brushes, she stumbled upon a colossal tree. Without any thought, she took off running. Without delay, she scuttled and took cover beneath. She believed this would be the perfect hiding spot. She concealed her curiosity about whether the game was still ongoing for what felt like an eternity.

Mileena came out from the brush. As soon as she ventured out, she promptly retraced her steps towards the pack house. She let out a scream and collapsed after feeling a sharp pain in her abdomen. On the ground, Mileena had curled up into a ball. She could not help but scream again when the second pain struck. You could hear footsteps approaching this time. A crowd of children and adults gathered around Mileena. Mileena's parents were the last to show up, but as soon as they saw her on the ground, they ran to her immediately.

Panicked, her mother yelled for someone to call the doctor. Within seconds, the pack doctor arrived and examined Mileena. He couldn't believe his eyes at what he had discovered, and no one was prepared for what he was about to say.

“She is shifting”

Whispers filled the background, shocking everyone, including her parents. No one in their pack had ever shifted at such a young age before. Shifting ages usually fall within the range of 10 to 12.

“She is only five years old. Is it possible for her to be shifting so early?” Sapphire asks.

“Although I do not know warrior Holland, it's definitely occurring. Moving her is not possible at this stage of the process. Our only option is to be patient, and as her parents, you'll need to support her.” The doctor plans to inform the King and Queen about this.

Both of the Hollands nodded while standing next to Mileena, listening to the sound of bones cracking and her screams. Mileena's parents were hurt because they wanted to relieve her pain. They passionately believe the moon goddess had a purpose for doing this. What will be the nature of the question?

Three hours had passed; the shifting was ending with it completed one last bone crack it.  As the Hollands rose from the ground, they gazed at their daughter. Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they gazed at a beautiful white wolf with piercing blue eyes. The wolf glanced at her parents and let out a small bark. That interrupted her parents' train of thought. Kneeling, Sapphire caresses the top of her pup's head, tears welling up in her eyes. She then turns to Jedidiah and smiles warmly. "Come take a look at our adorable pup."

Jedidiah knelt beside Sapphire and nodded. The sight of Mileena made him tear up. One of the most joyous days of their lives has arrived.  The moment was interrupted when the King and Queen arrive. With just one glance, they were captivated by the white wolf. The crowd, unable to speak, begins to whisper once more. Never before in history has there been a white Lycan, especially not in the Nightingale pack. Mileena's status as the first white Lycan will be legendary.

Once Sapphire picks up her pup Mileena, she and Jedidiah head back to The King and Queen and join the crowd. The two majestic figures stood together, their attention focused on the white wolf, when a voice from the crowd interrupted them with the word "abomination."

Growls escaped from Sapphire and Jedidiah.

"Who dares to label my child as an abomination? Jedidiah demands, "Show yourself!"

One of the male warriors stepped forward. He kept his distance from the Hollands, gazing at the pup, and declared, "That pup is abomination; if we keep it, we are doomed."

"What proof do you possess to support your assertion about my child being an abomination? Sapphire retorted abruptly.

Throughout the centuries, I have never heard of a white Lycan, which suggests it is a cursed omen.-“

“You are talking about something you have no knowledge of. How the hell did you figure out that this is a curse? Shut the fuck up," Sapphire shouts, you don't know anything.”

The crowd starts to make a commotion due to the situation. While some agreed with the warrior, others sided with Sapphire. Things were spiraling out of control.

"SILENCE!" The King's voice echoes through the room.

To show submission, everyone follows and bares their neck. “We will not be discussing this matter at this time. It’s been a long, tiring day; we will discuss this another time. Sapphire and Jedidiah, it's been a tiring day for both of you, especially for Mileena. You are free to leave”

They nodded at each other as they walked past the crowd, then proceeded further. Turning her head towards a few pack members, Sapphire asserts, "Our daughter is not an abomination. “She’s a wolf of miracles," she declares before departing, leaving everyone lost in contemplation.
