“Please…” I begged, feeling the weight of hopelessness settle in my chest as I realized there was nothing more that could be done. “I’m so sorry, I can’t...” Sarah whispered, her eyes filled with empathy and sadness. “But maybe you can...” she said, her voice trailing off as she hesitated to offer false hope.Sarah’s words lingered in the air, leaving me with a sliver of uncertainty and a glimmer of possibility.Sarah shook her head; her expression hurt as she turned away. “I can’t allow you that, Luna. It’s too risky.” I turned her face toward me and saw tears glistening in her eyes. “Saving my dad is now more important than anything else,” I pleaded, desperation creeping into my voice. Sarah’s resolve wavered, her eyes meeting mine with a mixture of compassion and fear.“Look at him, Sarah,” I begged, making her turn to face my father, lying on the cold, damp floor with his head resting on my lap, eyes closed, clothes torn as thin as a twig, and his breathing shallow and labored. “H
ANDREW“Do you really have to do it?” Lucas, as I tried to stretch my muscles before the big fight that would decide the course of all our lives, I could see the concern in his eyes, knowing the weight of the situation we were facing. But I knew that it was necessary for me to make this sacrifice if I wanted to save Luna and my pack from Roman’s wrath. “Yes, I have to do it,” I replied with determination, feeling the adrenaline coursing through my veins as I prepared myself for the battle ahead.“It can kill you,” Lucas whispered, his voice filled with worry. I took a deep breath and reassured him, “I know, but this is the only way to protect our pack and Luna. I have to take this risk for the greater good.”I turned my head toward him and saw the fear in his eyes, but also the unwavering support. “Lucas, you are beta, my strong right-hand man. If you keep talking like that, then who will support me in this crucial moment?” Lucas nodded, his expression firm with determination. “I’ll a
Luna…Luna…Luna, I groaned as a heart-wrenching pain shot through my body as my eyes jolted open, only to find myself in my bedroom alone, with no sign of Luna.How much time has passed since Ramon took her with him? My mind races with worry and fear as I try to piece together the plan Ramon must have had for taking Luna.I quickly stood up from the bed, my body still aching from the pain. The pain left my system, but the effect that it had on me was still lingering. I needed to find Luna before it was too late and before Ramon’s plan could fully unfold.The door of the room opened as Lucas and Sarah walked in, concern etched on their faces. Lucas spoke first. “You are awake; thank God,” he said, relief evident in his voice. “We need to act fast to retrieve Luna before it’s too late,” Sarah added, her eyes reflecting the same urgency. “I sense her aura being diminished; we must hurry.” Sarah has the power to sense auras in someone with whom she has a strong emotional connection or if th
“How dare you betray me, you bastard?” Ramon growled, his fists clenched at his sides.Lucas stood tall, unwavering in his loyalty, and replied firmly, “I am loyal to the one who deserves it.” My smirk widened as I watched the tension between father and son unfold before me.“You….,” Ramon caught Lucas by the neck and squeezed tightly, his eyes burning with rage. Lucas remained calm, his gaze steady, as he met Ramon’s furious stare. “I raised you; I feed you. I gave you everything, and this is how you repay me?” Ramon seethed, his grip tightening on Lucas’s neck. Lucas managed to choke out, “You taught me to be loyal to those who deserve it, Father.” The room fell silent as the two men stared each other down, the air thick with tension.I stood aside, watching as the tension between father and son escalated, unsure how to intervene in their heated confrontation.“You raised me, yes, but only to be your puppet,” Lucas continued, his voice strained. “You feed me, yes, but only to be you
Lucas and I stare at Roman in disbelief, wondering how we ended up in this dangerous situation. We have everything planned down to the last detail, but we never anticipated Roman being one step ahead of us.“You must be thinking, How am I always one step ahead?” Roman taunted, his voice dripping with arrogance. “But that’s the fun of the game, isn’t it?”“If you have everything planned ahead, then why have you waited all these years to make your move?” I asked, trying to buy us some time to come up with a new strategy. Roman just smirked, clearly enjoying the power he held over us.“You see, Andrew, you are still a child in this game,” Roman chuckled. “Patience is a virtue, and I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to strike.”I could tell that Roman had something up his sleeve. Something big and unexpected that he was about to unleash on us. But what I didn’t know was just how cunning and strategic he truly was and why he was doing all these things. Is it only because of his hatred
No one can bring back the dead, and seeking revenge will only lead to more pain and suffering.“You must be thinking that I am insane for even considering such a thing,” Ramon said, breaking me from my thoughts. “But you don’t know what I know.” I could see the desperation in his eyes, a mix of anger and sadness that told me there was more to his story than he was letting on.“And what is that we don’t know?” Lucas asked cautiously, sensing the weight of Ramon’s words. Ramon took a deep breath before taking out a book from under his shirt and showing it to us. “You know what this is? This is the key to bringing my Serena back to life,” Ramon said, his voice cracking with emotion.Both Lucas and I exchange glances and then direct our gaze toward the book in Ramon’s hand, the book that we have only heard about in legends and myths but never considered real. The book of Eklepō is said to have the power to resurrect the dead, a dark magic that could potentially change everything we though
“No.” Ramon’s voice cracked with emotion as he struggled to comprehend the depth of Leonardo’s action. The crackling of the flames drowned out any other sound, leaving a heavy silence in its wake.I can finally feel my body move again as the spell breaks, with the book falling from Ramon’s hands and crashing to the ground. “Serena...” Ramon whispered, his heart heavy with sorrow and regret. The flames continued to dance before him, casting eerie shadows on the walls of the abandoned cabin. He moves his hands, trying to save Leonardo and Serena from the inferno that consumed them both, but it is too late. The weight of his failure settled heavily on his shoulders as he watched helplessly, knowing there was nothing more he could do.“That bastard, even in death, he didn’t let you go,” Ramon muttered, his voice filled with bitterness and his hands burning as he tried to reach out to the charred remains of his loved ones. Burning Serena was the right thing to do, but why did Leonardo have
I ran as fast as I could to Ramon and saved Luna from him, but it was too late.“Stop,” Ramon said, changing in his human form before my eyes. His grasp on Luna is still as tight as ever. “Go away; I have nothing to do with you,” he growled, his eyes filled with anger and grief.“Leave her, and I will let you live,” I pleaded, trying to reason with him. But his eyes darkened, and he tightened his grip on Luna, refusing to let her go. “Leave her. Never. She is the one who took my Serena life. I was a fool to have waited all these years for her powers to awaken. I should have killed her when I had the chance.” Ramon finished, his voice dripping with malice.“Why did you wait so long, then? If you truly wanted revenge, you would have acted sooner,” I retorted, trying to engage him in conversation and distract him so I could free my Luna from his grasp.“You know nothing; I have tried to kill her many times before, but she is always protected by Leonardo or one of his men,” he sneered. “B
