Oiamh's POV

How long has it been since I was last in the forest? Everything that's happened...I miss my home but I'm scared to go back...

When I woke up, I realised Zero was gone.

I heard a knock at the door then Skyla came in.

"How are you holding up sweetie?" Skyla asked me

"I've been better...physically I feel fine again but I'm scared to go home to the forest...what if I can't go home Lady Skyla? I'm also worried since Zero is missing.." I replied then Skyle sat on the bed next to me

"Regarding Zero, he's in surgery right now with Rowen and Esterra to have his heart re-inserted again. As for the forest, no one in your clan remembers what happened according to Esterra so I was going to take you and your mother down to see everyone again. Oísin and Niamh are meeting us as well since they're really worried about you and Naomi" Skyla explained to me

"Alright. I'll meet you and my mom in the lounge then" I said then Skyla kissed my forehead before leaving.

I got up and got changed into my outfit from the day of the attack. It got cleaned up entirely then Skyla fixed up all the tears.

I met up with my mom and Lady Skyla then we descended to the land again.

"Lady Oiamh and Lady Naomi! Thank the gods you're both alright!" Zachery shouted with tears in his eyes as he ran towards us.

He's our head guard and a close friend of my father's.

"We're alright Zachery, but can you round up every wolf in the clan please. We need to tell you all something.." Mom told him.

"Of course my lady" then not even 10 minutes later the entire clan was gathered together.

I've been keeping my twin tails on show now because it's who I am. I am the twin tailed Luna of the forest.

"Thank you all for gathering on such short notice. As you all might have guess Oiamh, Trodaí and I have been away for almost two weeks now. Five days of which, Oiamh was asleep. However, Trodaí..." mom started then began to cry so I gave her a massive hug

"Trodaí was murdered. By the very same wolves who attacked the clan two weeks ago. However things get worse, his body is missing and we have no clue where Leyla and Rose set up base. Naomi and Oiamh have been living with myself and Rowen for now as their wounds were being healed. I hope you all still care for Naomi and Oiamh though" Skyla added

"Of course we care for them. We're so sorry for what we did two weeks ago, our minds were clouded and our bodies not in our control." Someone said.

"Thank you all. I hope to be as good a leader as my father but right now we need to work together to rebuild our home and reach out to other clans. If anyone knows how to contact Shay of the undead clan then I urge you to reach out to him. I want to ask about my father and only he'll know the information I'm wanting" I explained then Oísin and Niamh arrived.

Niamh said nothing and just hugged me tightly.

"When Rowen informed us of your father's fate - we could scarce believe our ears but that clover on your cheek all but confirms things. Oiamh I know Trodaí meant the world to you. When he returned from battle not long after you were born, he asked permission for us to let him stand down. He stood down to protect you and Naomi as well as be there for you both." Oísin told us

"Your majesty..." Mom said with tears in her eyes

I just broke down crying in Queen Niamh's arms.

"Let it out my child. You are every inch your father's daughter and dear friends to myself and Oísin. We will aid you in whatever way we can Luna Oiamh. On that you have our word" Niamh explained then dried my eyes

I may only be 16 but my time to rule is now. I walked to the central podium then climbed onto the top of the clover statue in the centre of the clan with a calm breeze blowing my tails.

"Wolves of the forest - Rose and Leyla brought pain and suffering upon our home and we're the main cause of the great wolf flight 12 years ago. The time to act is now - I am only 16 years old and a Luna without her wings still, but I'm not going to sit back and let those two monsters cause anymore pain for our kind. I say we rally the clans together as the one great werewolf alliance and we fight for our home! LET EVERY WOLF KNOW THE FOREST CLAN ARE STILL AS STRONG AS EVER AND WE WILL NEVER GO DOWN WITHOUT A TRUE FIGHT! So who's with me?!" I announced to the clan then everyone cheered.

"Now that's our Luna. You'll have the armies of the sky clan supporting you as well" Lord Rowen said when he arrived.

"How's Zero?" I asked when I jumped down and ran to him then he gave me a hug.

"The surgery was a success - so Zero is just resting whilst the medicine wears off. I'll let you know when he awakens as I suspect you and Naomi are going to move back to your clan?" Rowen replied then I nodded

"As the Luna of the Forest I should stay close to my clan now. They're my responsibility - as is my duty as future guardian of nature." I responded then got a pat on the head from my mom.

"Lady Oiamh I know how to send word to Lord Shay, Alpha of the Undead clan, what do you wish for me to say?" Zachery asked me

"Ask him if he can come and meet me at the moon cliff in three days time. It's where the alliance meetings used to happen and so it would be a fitting place for leaders to meet" I told him.

Zachery bowed with the forest salute then left to send the message. Afterwards King Oísin and Queen Niamh went back to the palace, Ska and Rowen returned to their clan's territory whilst mom and I went back to our house. Which I was surprised to see was still fully intact.
