Chapter 36
Sacred Ground
Olivia’s POV
Morning came quickly, pushing away the darkness of the night.
Soft golden light spread across the sky, slowly lighting up the wide land around us.
By the time I fully woke up, everyone from Alpha Kingsley’s pack traveling with us had already settled into their carriages.
We were already on the move again.
The wheels rolled along the rough path as the horses pulled us forward, picking up speed as we entered deeper into the wild.
Inside the royal carriage, I sat quietly beside Alpha Kingsley.
As always, my attention drifted outside.
I watched everything.
The long stretch of trees.
The branches moving gently with the wind.
The sunlight slipping through the leaves above.
It was beautiful.
Peaceful.
For a moment, it made me forget everything else.
Beside me, Alpha Kingsley didn’t move.
His eyes were closed.
His posture relaxed.
But something about him felt far away.
He had been like that since last night.
Quiet. 1
Hard to read.
Like something was weighing on his mind.
I glanced at him for a moment.
Part of me wanted to ask what was wrong
But since he hadn’t said anything, I stayed quiet
The sound of the carriage wheels and the steady movement of the horses filled the space between us
Time passed and the sun rose higher.
By midday, the light was brighter and warmer
Then suddenly
The carriage began to slow down.
The movement became gentle until it finally stopped completely.
“We are here,” Alpha Kingsley said.
His voice broke the silence.
It was the first time he had spoken since morning.
“Hmm,” I replied softly as I stepped out of the carriage.
But the moment my feet touched the ground, confusion hit me.
I looked around and frowned.
There was nothing here. Nothing like I had imagined.
Just trees and bushes.
And endless wilderness stretching in every direction.
No buildings, no structures.
No signs of life.
Nothing like what I had imagined.
“Are you sure we didn’t miss the way?” I asked, unsure.
“This just looks like a dead end…”
It felt too normal.
Too empty.
But then again, the world of werewolves was never simple.
“Just wait and see.”
A deep voice spoke from behind me.
I turned quickly.
My eyes widened.
“David…!”
Excitement filled my voice before I could stop it.
I quickly tried to calm myself, but I couldn’t hide the happiness in my eyes.
It had been a while since I last saw him since what happened at the gym.
I didn’t even know he was part of this journey
David siniled warmly and gave me a small wave
Before I could say anything else
A low growl sounded beside me.
I froze slightly.
Alpha Kingsley.
+15 Bonus
Not wanting any trouble, I simply gave David a small nod. Polite and careful.
Alpha Kingsley stepped forward right away, cutting the moment short.
As he passed David, he gave him a quick look.
It was quiet.
But clear.
A warning.
The mood shifted slightly.
Without speaking again, Alpha Kingsley walked toward a small open space ahead.
Everyone followed behind him at a distance.
He stopped at the center of the clearing.
The air around him changed.
It felt heavier.
Stronger.
Then.
He raised his hand slightly.
“Ancient spirit of the moon…” he began.
His voice sounded deeper now.
Stronger.
“Hear my call…”
“And grant us passage into the sacred land.”
The words felt old.
Strange. 1
Like something from a forgotten time.
Then suddenly
A strong wind rushed through the clearing.
Leaves lifted from the ground and spun into the air.
The trees shook.
The ground seemed to vibrate faintly beneath my feet
Then
Light appeared.
A bright, pure light formed in front of us.
At first, it was soft.
+15 Bonus
They it grew stronger.
Brighter.
Until it lit up the entire area.
The air shimmered.
The space in front of us began to twist.
Like something unseen was being opened.
My breath caught.
Slowly…
A path appeared.
A glowing entrance leading somewhere unknown.
It pulsed with energy.
Old.
Powerful.
Alive.
Something moved inside me.
A strange feeling.
I didn’t understand it.
But it felt… familiar.
Like something inside me was reacting to it.
Calling out to it.
My heart began to beat faster.
“What… is this…” I whispered.
No one answered me.
“Let’s go,” Alpha Kingsley said.
His voice was firm.
Cold.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and entered the glowing path
The others followed.
One after another.
Quietly.
As if stepping into that place meant something more than just walking forward
I stood still for a moment.
+15 Bonus
My eyes fixed on the glowing entrance.
A strange feeling settled inside ine.
Like once I stepped through…
Something would change.
Something I couldn’t take back.
Then
I took a breath.
Stepped forward.
And followed them into the unknown.
