Silver Light (ONC 2024) LONGLIST

Prompt #34: You wanted to go to the moon, see the silvery white glow of it for yourself. Instead, the moon came to you. One day, at your door.

Summary:
Ever since she was a little pup, Nevanthi has always been obsessed with the moon. Sneaking off in the middle of the night just so she could stare and converse with it in secret away from the pack. It was her personal connection to the bright glowing orb in the night sky.

However, when a strange new wolf enters the pack lands at the same time the moon seems to have hidden itself in the skies, it starts a series of events that can't be undone. There's a new unrest within the forest and strange phenomenons seem to be happening at every turn. If that wasn't bad enough, Nevanthi has this strange pull towards the new wolf that has entered her life.

Can she figure out what's going on in the forest before it's too late and the chaos becomes too much for anyone to quell? Is this all too much for one wolf to handle and why does Nevanthi suspect it has something to do with their new guest? This will be her greatest test yet of secrets, friendship and protecting that which means the most to her.
