The first sliver of dawn light speared through Randall's eyelids, dragging him reluctantly from the clutches of unconsciousness. A groan escaped his lips as his head throbbed with a dull ache. He blinked, trying to focus his blurry vision.

He found himself sprawled on a bed of damp grass, the familiar scent of pine needles and damp earth filling his nostrils.

Panic clawed at his throat. Where was he? How did he get here?

He sat up, wincing at the sharp pain that lanced through his skull.

His puzzled gaze scanned the environment, resting on the figures lying beside him - Aldric, Kellan, and Merikh.

They also stirred, their faces pale and drawn, as they sat up in confusion.

"What happened?" Kellan rasped, his voice hoarse, looking around the familiar environment, "How did we get here?"

Kellan shook his head, the world tilting slightly as he felt a light pain on his shoulder. "I... I don't remember either."

The injury on his shoulder was healing, but it was very gradual. It seemed those

    Visha worriedly paced her chamber. The events of the previous day came flooding her memory. She hadn't had the time to think about it. She'd been sliding in and out of consciousness.She needed to act fast. She would lose her game faster than she thought if she didn't get the Alpha to give her his mark.She hadn't thought that Reyana had any special powers. Her awakening has made the stakes too high, and her true identity as the chosen one might be revealed soon.Alpha Novak had promised to kill her if anything ever went wrong with the plan.The sound of her door opening forced her out of her thoughts."Aldric..." She breathed with an outstretched hand, her voice bearing relief and desperation, her painted lips curving into a welcoming smile, "I thought I'd lost you."He didn't move towards her outstretched hand. Instead, he stepped into the room, the door swinging shut behind him with a loud thud.He stopped a few paces away from her, his gaze as cold and hard as the steel of his swo

    Alpha Randall stirred lazily on his bed, a searing pain stabbing the side of his head as he blinked his eyes open.He didn't have the time to study his environment when he felt warm arms enveloping him in a desperate hug."Oh, Goddess! I thought I had lost you, Alpha!" Visha's sobbing voice rang in the quiet chamber as she buried her tear-filled face in his broad chest."Ah..." He winced."I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Are you fine? Where does it hurt?" She lifted herself off him, running her soft palms and curious eyes all over his body.Her hands rested on his wounded thigh, "Does it hurt so much?""Visha..." he called weakly, trying to sit up, "What... How did..." His throat felt dry.Visha quickly reached for the water on his table and handed it to him."A lot happened while you were away, Alpha. The pack... We... A lot of people died," she burst into fresh, uncontrollable tears.Fresh strength seemed to have seeped into Randall's bones as he jerked off the bed, trying to sit up at th

    Alpha Randall, his broad shoulders slacked due to the heavy weight of grief he felt, stood by the window. The fading tendrils of sunlight cast his face in a gloomy glow, highlighting the worry lines etched on his face by the recent events.He panicked, but he did well to hide it.Vulnerability was a luxury he couldn't afford, especially not in the presence of a woman as brave as Visha.He was proud of her. But he felt a nagging worry for Reyana, his mate. Klara's chamber would be his first stop as soon as Aldric arrived. The very thought of seeing Reyana sent a wave of longing through him.Visha, perched on the edge of the bed, observed him with a predator's keenness. Her theatrics were a masterpiece.She couldn't help the overwhelming surge of excitement running through her.She knew Randall was putty in her hands. She knew how much Randall believed every word that left her lips. She used the opportunity of being the first person to have seen him awake to her advantage.Right now, he

    "We would have lost even more people than we did if Reyana hadn't stepped in to save us all. She fought along with everyone else, defending her pack as the Luna she is," Klara began, making Randall turn around to face her."She..." Klara paused, contemplating if this was the best place and time to talk about Reyana's awakening. It might sound ridiculous to the Alpha since he had no prior knowledge about Reyana possessing any special abilities. He might scoff at the notion."Klara?" Alpha Randall called out, his voice laced with a hint of impatience, pulling her out of her thoughts."There is something you need to know, Alpha." She finally said."Isn't that why I gave you listening ears?" Randall countered, his brow furrowing in frustration. He needed clarity, not riddles."I'd like to discuss this with you in private," Klara said, briefly glancing at Aldric and Visha."They are no strangers. You can tell me right here," Randall pressed, curiosity hitting the roof.His attention was dr

    The inner court of the Black Moon pack seemed to hold cheer as Alpha Novak drank from his goblet.The sour taste of the wine tingled his throat.He sat at the head of the table on his unique chair with his Beta seated at the right side of the table.Alpha Torress of the Dark Silver pack sat at the left side of the table.They were all in cheerful spirits."Alpha Novak," Alpha Torress began, his gruff voice sounding cheerful, "I can't thank you enough. We owe you a debt of blood! Your warriors were like beasts unleashed, tearing down Randall's army with no mercy!" He drained his goblet in a gulp, a satisfied sigh escaping his lips as his bald head, which was polished to a shine, gave a slight nod of appreciation.Alpha Torress is a man in his early fifties. Still standing strong and running his pack perfectly.He was a man of greed, as people may say. But to him, he always does what's best for his pack. It doesn't matter how he gets it done, even if it means offering his mate to an Eas

    A frown creased Reyana's brow as she shook her head, her ebony hair shimmering in the dappled sunlight, "But Father, I have already told you, I don't know any Shota."Her father offered a patient smile, "Think, my princess. Think."Reyana's eyes narrowed in deep thought as she tried hard to recall."Ah... Yes... I have heard the name before now. I recall..." She stated, still trying to remember more details, "It was during the council meeting. She was the witch who hid the four necro keys hundreds of years ago... Isn't she?" Reyana finally remembered.Relief momentarily crossed her father's face."Indeed, my princess. She was the one who hid the keys," at the mention of the keys, a flicker of something Reyana couldn't quite place danced in his eyes, but she waved it off.Reyana's brow furrowed in deeper concentration. "But… but it was said that she mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again. Hundreds of years have passed."Unease settled in her stomach. Why did her father seem s

    Reagan sat on a stool beside Reyana's bed, watching over her. From the day he met her, he felt a certain warmth towards her.He felt the need to protect her. Watch over her. He couldn't tell why.Klara had made them both promise not to tell a single soul about what they had just witnessed on Reyana, and they made the promise.She had also assured them that she'd look for answers about what was truly happening. Reagan was okay with not telling anyone, and since Ria was Reyana's best friend, they were sure she'd keep her mouth shut.Klara had gone out to attend the council meeting Randall had called for. Reagan couldn't bring himself to leave Reyana just yet.After almost an eternity of staring at Reyana and making sure she was sound asleep, his gaze drifted toward Ria, who also sat on the other bed, keeping her gaze on Reyana, too."How are you doing?" He asked just before he could stop himself.Ria slowly peeled her gaze from Reyana's sleeping frame, focusing her soft gaze on Reagan,

    The Alpha felt a slight discomfort at the mention of Reagan. They still hadn't settled their differences yet, especially their most recent clash before he embarked on this cursed war, but that wasn't important now.Personal grievances could wait. They had other pressing threats at hand."How so?" He asked Gwyneth, who stood, waiting for approval to continue speaking."He had examined the attackers," she began, "their armor, their weaponry - none of it belonged to any pack we recognize." Her gaze swept across the room, "It was unlike anything we've ever seen, far more lethal.""And, logically, the Dark Silver pack is a small pack. They wouldn't dare attack us in this manner with their limited forces. They can't afford the luxury of extra warriors to carry out an attack on our pack while the rest of them face our army out there," Gwyneth explained vividly her observations with Reagan.The hall went silent, reasoning out all she had said."They could be from Novak's pack, since he helped

    Alpha Randall was proud of his warriors. At the same time, he was thankful for Alpha Parthe's warriors. But at this point, he saw a very difficult situation facing them. The war seemed impossible to win.His warriors were totally outnumbered, and Alpha Parthe's warriors, despite their skills, were acting based on their Alpha's order: 'Leave the battle the moment one hundred of his men are down.' Alpha Parthe likes his warriors the same way he likes his women. He doesn't tolerate losses. And if it isn't his own battle, he doesn't see why his men should risk their lives saving another pack, no matter what the deal was.A cold dread washed over Randall as he watched Alpha Parthe's warriors begin their retreat. The signal was clear: one hundred of their men had fallen, and as per their agreement, they were withdrawing.Randall's heart raced, and his mind scrambled for a solution. He couldn't blame Parthe for protecting his forces under his stringent rules of engagement, yet the sting of

    Randall's vision blurred with pain and anger. He could barely process Rashka's words, his mind struggling to reconcile the reality before him. "Reyana," he called out, his voice strained. "What has he done to you?"Reyana's eyes glinted with mischief and darkness, "This is who I am, Randall," she replied, her voice devoid of emotion. "Rashka has shown me the truth. Our destiny is to rule, not to serve."Randall's heart shattered at her words, but he knew he couldn't afford to lose himself in grief. He gritted his teeth against the pain and forced himself to stand. The wound in his side burned, but he refused to let it weaken him further.Randall tightened his grip on his sword, his resolve hardening. "I won't let you destroy everything we've built," he declared. "I will fight until my last breath.""Your last breath is all I desire, brother," Rashka said with a cruel smile and walked back to the warriors he had come with.Reyana followed him behind.Randall's vision blurred with a mix

    The war was a maelstrom of steel and blood, tearing through the heart of the Blood Crescent pack.The war had begun in full force. The chaos was heart-wrenching. It seemed Rashka's army had one assignment - destroy everything that made up the Blood Crescent pack.They were not soldiers fighting for honor or glory; they were instruments of destruction, their eyes burning with a cold, inhuman light. They tore down buildings with savage glee, their laughter echoing through the chaos.Women and children screamed, fear consuming them.The Ashkais barely had the time to fight. It was almost like they weren't scared to die.Of course, they weren't. Not that they were actual wolves. They were just Rashka's twisted creations."Protect whatever you can! We can't lose all our homes!" Randall yelled into the air as he lounged at one of the Ashkais who was headed toward the homes for the elderly.Alpha Parthe had sent about a thousand warriors. His armies could never be killed by mere blades, which

    "Make sure every able-bodied warrior is armed and ready. We can't let them breach our borders." He ordered Xular, the new Head of his warriors, as he dished out orders to his men."Alpha! Xular!" Two men ran breathlessly toward the warriors who were warming up for the war ahead. They looked troubled."What happened?" Xular stepped forward."The armory! The armory is on fire! It's been set ablaze!" One of the men said almost breathlessly."What?" Randall asked, "Armory ablaze?" he repeated, disbelief and a growing sense of dread washing over him. The armory was their lifeline, their teeth against the world. Without it, they were defenseless pups facing a hungry wolf pack. His eyes widened in shock as his legs propelled him towards the armory without a second thought.As they hurried toward the armory, they saw the women and children coming from the direction of the Shelter."Where are you all going? You should be at the Shelter..." Randall began, but his voice was drowned out by the ch

    "What?" Randall said, holding her by both arms, "How did you know?""He told me. Last night." She replied, getting Randall even more confused."How? Did he come here? How did no one see him?" Randall almost panicked, but he had to be calm."No, Randall. The Sigil. With the Sigil of possession, I am never far from Rashka. Prepare for what's to come, Randall." Reyana said, walking away into her chamber.Since she woke up that morning, she had been feeling strange. The feeling of hatred and pain she felt while at the Oasis seemed to intensify after her encounter with Rashka last night.As Reyana moved through the dimly lit corridors of the fortress, a wave of nausea washed over her. The Sigil on her back throbbed with a dull, insistent pain, its faint glow pulsing in rhythm with her heartbeat.She stumbled into her chambers, closing the door behind her with trembling hands. The room seemed to close in around her, the shadows elongating and shifting as if they were alive.She felt utmost

    Visha was dragged from the dungeon, her wrists bound in iron shackles that rattled with every step. Her heart raced. She knew this was the end for her.Memories of how she had lived her life and how she was meant to live came flooding her. Regrets had become her best companion throughout her stay in the dungeon, but there was nothing she could do to save herself.Her sister had warned her. But she was blinded by stupid feelings. Feelings that they had been taught never to let get in their way.No one is coming to her aid. Not Novak. Not the Master. Not even her sister. Because she had gone against everyone just to be with Randall. The same Randall who was going to be her executioner today.Reyana stood beside Randall in the middle of the crowd, her gaze fixed on Visha. A cold satisfaction crept into her heart as she watched her former tormentor face her ultimate fate. The woman who had caused her so much pain was finally going to pay the price.A cruel smirk played on her lips.Randal

    "So, what's your condition?" Alpha Randall asked Reyana as soon as they were inside his chamber."Tell me, Randall. Visha is guilty of all the crimes she confessed to, right?" Reyana asked, sitting at the edge of the bed."Yes. She is. She confessed to it all, including being responsible for the death of Valerie." Randall admitted, wondering where this was all headed."Why haven't you executed her yet?" Reyana asked, searching his face for any expressions. "Are you still in love with her?""The Goddess forbid! I have nothing to do with that wicked, cunning witch anymore!" Randall said in fury. The thought or mention of Visha made him enraged."Then what's taking so long? Were you waiting for me to grace the occasion?" Reyana asked.Randall gave it a thought. He realized that he couldn't tell why he hadn't executed her yet."I don't know... I've been very occupied with bringing you back. She was not a priority. You were." He replied, leaning on his study table."Okay, then. Now that I'

    "Reyana. Please. Don't go. You can go another time. Please," Randall had to bring down his ego and plead. He couldn't afford to lose her. He felt like if she ever left with Novak, he'd lose her forever.Seeing the look on Randall's face touched a part of her heart she never knew was still alive. Reyana thought all that was left in her heart for Randall was pure hate. But now she was wrong."I want to spend some time with my family. At least, you owe me that," Reyana said calmly."You will. But not just yet. I need you around, Reyana. The pack needs you. Please, don't go." Randall pleaded.She was conflicted. Randall was speaking to her heart."Novak. I'd send her over in a few days. But for now, I really do need her around," he said in a calmer tone, surprising everyone around, including Novak."Maya won't be happy with this. Besides, you brought us to this point. I've tried to see her for days, but you prevented it." Alpha Novak protested, but his anger was subsiding."You wouldn't b

    Reyana drawled, her voice echoing in the confined space. "The Alpha's most precious jewel, reduced to this."'Visha quickly sat up; her eyes, which were once filled with arrogance and malice, went wide with shock. "Reyana? How?" She had expected that since Aldric hadn't had the audacity to kill her, then the master would have laid hands on her and killed her already."Funny question, I must say, Visha."Visha's lips curved into a bitter smile. "You look well, Reyana. Almost radiant."Reyana laughed, "Thank you. Being a prisoner of my mate has its perks." She said, her eyes slowly raking over the pathetic state of the woman who had made her life a living hell.Visha's face contorted into a mask of rage. "You dare mock me?""Why not? What would you do? Run to the Alpha and cry to him?" Reyana scoffed, "Only this time, the Alpha is slightly out of your reach.""What do you want? I had my peace before you showed up," Visha said, looking away in shame."Is there any peace for the wicked? R
