Lyra: Eyes dart around, whispering Damn, he found out. Wants me as his mate. I can't... I won't.
Stranger
Look at you, trying to be all badass in the face of power.
narrows her eyes, fists clenched I've always been badass, Stranger. Don't forget it.
Stranger
You are, but with power... there's a difference.
steps forward, voice low and dangerous Power doesn't change me, Stranger. It just gives me a chance to be even more badass than before.
Stranger
Heh, that's the spirit! But don't forget, power also comes with responsibilities.
snorts, rolling her eyes Responsibilities be damned. I'll deal with the consequences later. Right now, I need to focus on getting out of here.
Stranger
Alright, alright. Run off then. But remember, you don't run from power, you use it.
smirks, adrenaline pumping through her veins Don't worry, Stranger. I know exactly how to use my power.
Stranger
That's what I like to hear. Now get going before he changes his mind about you.
grits her teeth, glancing back at the alpha I don't need his permission to do what I want. takes a deep breath, summoning her inner strength
Stranger
And off you go, the rogue queen.
runs towards the densest part of the forest, her movements swift and determined Watch me, Stranger.
Stranger
laughs If anyone can make it, it's you. Just remember, if you come back, we got a lot to talk about.
pauses, looking back at Stranger with a mischievous glint in her eyes Talk about what? Are you finally ready to reveal your true nature, Stranger?
Stranger
laughs Me? True nature? Honey, I'm more wolf than you'll ever know.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Is that so, Stranger? Well, let's see if you can keep up then. shifts into her werewolf form, bones cracking and fur sprouting
Stranger
laughs You're really going to shift? Show me what you got, rogue queen.
As Lyra runs through the forest in her werewolf form, she hears the howl of other wolves echoing around her, signaling danger.
Stranger
laughs Looks like you've got company, rogue queen. Bet they're after what you stole from them.
snarls, baring her sharp teeth They can try, Stranger. I won't let them take what's mine. dashes towards a hidden cave, her senses heightened
Stranger
laughs Oh, this is gonna be good. Got any tricks up your fur, Lyra?
enters the dark cave, her eyes glowing with a menacing intensity You have no idea, Stranger. This cave holds ancient secrets, powerful spells woven by long-forgotten witches.
Stranger
Witches, huh? I wouldn't be surprised. What are you planning, Lyra?
grins wickedly Oh, Stranger, you'll see soon enough. But first, we need to make sure no one follows us here. whispers an incantation, causing the entrance of the cave to glow brightly and cast a protective spell around it
Stranger
laughs This just keeps getting better. So, what's next, witch princess?
eyes flash with determination Next, we find the heart of the cave. The source of its power.
Stranger
laughs Power, huh? Sounds like fun. Lead the way, princess.
moves deeper into the cave, her steps echoing off the walls Brace yourself, Stranger. The power we're about to unleash is unlike anything you've ever felt.
Stranger
laughs Alright, princess. Let's see if you can deliver on that promise. Lead on.
pauses, her eyes narrowing as she senses something lurking in the shadows Wait... someone's coming. We're not alone in here.
Stranger
Of course you're not. There's probably a whole damn pack waiting to ambush us.
grits her teeth, her voice low and determined We need to get rid of them if we want to reach the heart of the cave.
Stranger
laughs Well, don't just stand there, princess. Show me what you got.
lets out a fierce howl, her voice echoing through the cave and sending vibrations through the walls Back off, you damn mutts! This is my territory!
Stranger
laughs That's the spirit! Now let's see some of that magic you're made of, witch princess.
summons swirling vortex of dark energy, pointing it at the approaching pack You think you can stop me? Think again!
