Chapter 38: Vision of the First Pack
Kael stood at the lake's edge, the Moonsteel Shard pulsing in his palm like a fragment of the moon itself. It wasn't just metal—it was alive with something ancient, something that recognized the blood in his veins and called to it.

Kael's eyes flared crimson for a moment—then the world around him vanished.

He stood in another world.
The skies were gold, the ground cracked and scorched. Massive obsidian trees swayed without wind, their leaves whispering forgotten names. Across a vast cliffside stood a formation of thousands—werewolves larger than any Kael had seen, their fur a mix of silver, midnight, and storm-blue.
At their center stood a beast unlike any other.
A wolf with six eyes, fur made of living flame and shadow, a spiral rune burning on its chest.
Its voice thundered across the sky.
"We are Chaos. We are Order's End. We are the Pack that was never bound by Law."
Kael's heart pounded. Was this... the First Pack?
The vision shifted.
He saw them raze entire kingdoms, not out of malice—but to free enslaved clans. Their fury was righteous, their strength unmatched. No pack dared challenge them until the Moon-Sworn descended like stars falling from heaven.
And when the final war came... the Chaos Pack vanished.
Sealed. Forgotten. Buried beneath rules and rituals.
The vision faded with one final whisper:
"Only the True Alpha, marked by blood and chosen by system, may restore what was lost."

Kael gasped and dropped to one knee.
Tamir caught his shoulder. "Kael! Are you—?"
"I saw them…" Kael breathed, trembling. "I saw where we come from."
Flam raised a brow. "We?"
Kael looked up. His eyes were glowing faintly still. "Our bloodline—it's not just about power. It's rebellion. It's freedom. The Chaos Bloodline wasn't a curse… it was a war cry."

Kael stood slowly, heart steady now. His voice was calm, but carried weight.
"We're no longer just rebuilding a fallen pack. We're reviving a legacy."
He turned to his warriors—bloody, bruised, breathing.
"The world forgot what Chaos was. Let's remind them."
