Chapter 186 Echoes Of The Past

• LINDA
• I smile sadly as memories of the old Moonveil packhouse library drift through my mind. I used to spend countless hours there, reading about the pack’s long history and the many alphas who ruled it for over a thousand years. Every story followed the same pattern—alphas who ruled with iron fists, putting their own needs above the pack’s. In the early years, a few brave wolves protested such treatment, but their defiance was met with brutal punishment. Eventually, everyone learned that the alpha’s word was absolute law.
• Things only began to change about three hundred years later, when Luna Abigail rose to prominence. She didn’t challenge the alpha’s authority directly, but she reshaped what it meant to lead beside one. While the alphas focused on power, she worked to build something lasting—fields for crops, full storerooms, and a future where no pup went hungry. Under her influence, the pack flourished. Even executions, once a common way to enforce loyalty, became rare. The next generations of leaders carried her influence forward, and life in Moonveil slowly grew less cruel.
