Chapter 1 The Call to Enlightenment

In the bustling metropolis of Veridion, nestled amidst the grandeur of architectural marvels, the young and earnest scholar, Ethan, found solace within the vast confines of the esteemed library. Surrounded by an impressive collection of ancient tomes, his insatiable thirst for knowledge and understanding went beyond the mere acquisition of facts. An intangible longing for a deeper comprehension of life's profound mysteries stirred within him, urging him to seek an elusive wisdom that lay beyond the pages of books.

One fortuitous day, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the labyrinthine aisles of the library, an elderly librarian approached Ethan. The librarian's eyes, crinkled with age and wisdom, held a glint of something more-a secret perhaps, hidden within the depths of his being. In a hushed and reverent tone, he extended to Ethan a weathered tome, its title etched in an elegant script: "The Book of Wisdom."

"In this ancient book lies the keys to true enlightenment," the librarian murmured, his voice carrying an air of mystique. "It is said that those who earnestly seek wisdom may find the answers they seek within its sacred pages."

Intrigued and captivated by the mere mention of enlightenment, Ethan received the enigmatic gift with utmost reverence. This encounter marked the inception of a transformative journey that would alter the trajectory of his existence forever.

With the ancient tome cradled in his hands, Ethan retreated to the secluded corners of the library, where time seemed to stand still. Illuminated only by a flickering candle, he delved into the sacred verses inscribed within its worn pages. The words spoke of profound truths, philosophical inquiries, and the esoteric wisdom of ages past.

As the hours turned to days and the days to weeks, Ethan's fascination with the ancient teachings grew exponentially. Yet, amidst the vast repository of knowledge, he sensed that the true essence of wisdom eluded him still. The elusive nature of his quest became all too apparent-an invitation to venture beyond the boundaries of the familiar and into the realm of the intangible and the transcendent.

In his pursuit of understanding, Ethan sought the counsel of the venerable scholars within Veridion's esteemed academy. Eager to glean their insights, he immersed himself in intellectual discourse, absorbing the collective wisdom of the scholarly elite. Their sagacious teachings provided a foundation upon which he could build his own interpretations and contemplations.

It was during one such intellectual gathering that Ethan's path intersected with that of a sage whose renown extended far beyond the city's confines. Master Li, a figure revered for his profound wisdom and enigmatic presence, captivated the minds of scholars and commoners alike. Ethan seized the opportunity to engage the sage in conversation, hoping that this encounter would provide him with the clarity he sought.

Amidst the tranquil gardens of the academy, Ethan found himself engaged in a dialogue that transcended the boundaries of conventional discourse. Master Li, with a calm countenance that mirrored the stillness of a placid lake, probed Ethan's earnest intentions in his pursuit of wisdom.

"Seeking wisdom is a noble endeavor, young scholar," Master Li began, his voice resonating with an aura of profundity. "But true enlightenment does not come from the accumulation of knowledge alone. It arises from a deeper understanding of the self and the world around us-a realization that extends beyond the confines of the written word."

In the sage's words, Ethan discerned the essence of wisdom as an experiential journey, one that entailed a transformation of consciousness and a union with the interconnected fabric of existence.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see.
