The Wolfless Luna Chosen by the Sacred Wolf

'Are you okay?' Serenity was curious. She undoubtedly witnessed the battle I just won against the rogues.

As I stood at the edge of the Nightcrawler Pack, I could feel the border, the dividing line between the pack's beginning and end. I now enter the same land to train them as different and better werewolves, the same land where I used to flee the pain and nightmares—my old and the pack that I abandoned a long time ago.

As I returned to my thoughts, I replied to Serenity's question, "Yes, I'm fine." To be honest, I stopped caring about them for a long time. Everyone in here was just a sliver of my memory. They no longer mattered to me, and you can't hate someone you've never cared about. I sighed and moved the unconscious—almost-dead rouge on my shoulder, expecting to be surrounded by pests as a result.

I ran into Leonard and many recognizable faces after a thirty-minute walk to the packhouse, including members of my blood family, my ex-mate and his family, old friends, even enemies, and some former pack members.

It's been a long time, As I stared at them, I reflected. Yes, I didn't show up right away.

As I approached the meeting spot where the Nightcrawler Pack greeted Elder Ruby and the other pack members, I concentrated on their conversation.

"Are you the commander and trainer of the pack?" Samson asked my brother, Leonard. He was about to say something when he jerked back. He seemed to have a lot of words to say that he didn't get around to saying.

'Oh shit,' I muttered under my breath in response to Leonard's response. 'Not ever again.'

Finally, he musters the courage to speak up "Alpha, you're mistaken. I am not the pack's commander or trainer. The Sanguinex is the one to go with."

When he sensed me, Elder Ruby scowled at the alpha, "That's right, he's not the commander, Alpha." Samson appeared perplexed by what Leonard and Elder Ruby were saying.

"It was the Sanguinex, as he previously stated. And it was I who invited her." Elder Ruby elaborated further. Samson's eyes widened unexpectedly at the remark. And he wasn't the only one in the Nightcrawler Pack who had that reaction.

"Wait, you invited the Sanguinex?" Samson asked again. I'm still perplexed.

Elder Ruby stated: "That's correct, Alpha. The strongest and sole survivor." Samson and the elder both expressed their displeasure upon hearing this.

"And she is right here, just behind me," Elder Ruby added. She directed her gaze in my direction, causing the others to turn to face me.

'What a fantastic introduction from you, Elder Ruby,' I thought as I moved forward to take Leonard's place. I keep my head up and my movements smooth. Then I turn around to face everyone. I left the nearly lifeless rogue to lie on the hard ground.

"I am the Sanguinex," I stated emphatically. The Nightcrawler Pack members were terrified and surprised, but fear was the most visible expression in their eyes.

I looked at Samson and said, "I am the rumored Sanguinex, and I will train your pack. I looked like this because I had just fought a quick battle with the rogues. Sorry if I appeared disorganized. Don't worry, I killed every single one of them. With the exception of this one." When I was done speaking, I turned to Elder Ruby, who nodded in agreement.

That's right, I'm bringing in another rogue to question him further.

"Nikky…"

Samson gave me a familiar expression as I turned in response to the sound of my name. The crowd erupted in gasps as soon as my name was mentioned.

"That's correct, Alpha. I'm Nikky, and I'm the Sanguinex. I'm glad you're already aware." I stated unequivocally.

My tearful ex-mother quickly approached me after I finished speaking, holding out her arms and saying, "Nikky… I can't believe it's you..." My ex-father also pursued me.

I yelled, "Leonard!" My brother intervened immediately to prevent the woman from touching me. He knows exactly what he should have done.

She screamed, "Move out of my way and don't touch me! This young lady is my long-lost daughter! We've been looking for you for a long time, Nikky!" Her eyes were filled with tears this time.

"Your daughter," I muttered, giving her a blank stare. This woman has got to be kidding me. Where did she get the courage to refer to me as her daughter? Where are they when they never treat me like one? That's hilarious, daughter. When the abuse began years ago, that word was on my wish list. But I don't need to hear it from her or anyone else right now.

"I hope you're not mistaking me for someone else," I inquired.

"Nikky, of course not! You are my child, and I am your mother! Oh, if you only knew how much I missed you!" She said this as if she was forcing me to believe her words. This is becoming so irritating that I wanted to slap her across the face.

"Sanguinex or Ms. Knight are better names for me—not as your daughter, but as a pack trainer, a commande. Please refrain from bothering me. I already have a mother at the Mountain Black Pack who isn't you "I stated calmly.

I looked at Samson and said, "Is this how your pack members greet visitors, Alpha? It appears to be strange." The tone of my voice was sarcastic. "Even so, I doubt you'd want your pack to face my wrath," I remarked.

I then turned to Elder. Ruby was agitated and completely ignored Samson's presence. The elder appeared to be irritated. "Why did you come if you weren't going to be patient?" I paused.

"He might die if you don't hurry," I said, pointing to the unconscious rogue.

Elder Ruby frowned "I assumed you'd conduct the interrogation here. Why not start right away?"

"I'm sure you don't want him to die right after his confession, Elder Ruby. It's best to cure him so he can respond more effectively." With my brow furrowed, I stated.

"When you find something, anything, please let me know," she just nodded, getting my point. That was something I agreed on. "And please allow me to remind you once more. Nikky, look me in the eyes. Please do not murder anyone. I truly meant it. Just don't murder "Elder Ruby gave a solemn expression.

"Elder Ruby, I despise promises. I cannot make that promise to you." With a chilly smile and my lips pulled up, I said.
