Susan's POV

"What do we do?"Serafine said, her voice shaking.

"We stop him. But first, we have to find out just how far his influence goes. And we need to do it fast."

Serafine's face was a picture of shock and confusion as the weight of my words settled in.

I had barely wrapped my head around the full implications of it myself, much less Lucian using her as a conduit for his dark magic this whole time-manipulating her power, influencing her decisions.

It made so much sense, yet at the same time, it put us in a terrifyingly vulnerable position.

She's too weak to defend herself, too uncertain about her own magic. And now the pack was still reeling from the mysterious illness; we didn't have the time to sort this out.

We needed answers, and we needed them now. But Serafine… She's torn. I saw that in her eyes.

And now, war is coming.

The pack is beginning to recover; the warriors are slowly regaining their strength after being weakened by that terrible sickness.

    Serafine's POVWhat do we do?" Serafine asks, barely above a whisper."We prepare," Damien answered.There's silence as the battle draws near. The weight of all of it weighs upon me, a suffocating feeling. My powers are growing increasingly beyond my control, like some kind of stormy tempest brewing inside of me. Every day I wake up, I feel less and less like myself-less and less like a real person, more and more like a chess piece in some kind of game that I have absolutely no comprehension of.And Abigail… she's growing more unstable by the hour. Her magic surges at the worst times, sparking chaos around her, and I can barely keep her calm. The look of fear in her eyes every time she loses control, it rips me apart.I glance at her now, sitting near the window of the packhouse, staring out at the horizon. She is so small, so fragile, yet the power inside her is terrorizing. She doesn't understand it,hell I barely do it myself but I must protect her, even when I am not sure th

    Abigail's POV"Lucian is my father."Mom's words were heavy and suffocating. I don't know how to comprehend everything. Mom looks shaken and hurt but there's something else in her gaze which is determination. She's not going to let Lucian control her anymore, and neither am I. But as I watch her turn away, a strange tension fills the air. Something's off.I shifted in my seat as I was brushing the glass. The sun was beginning to set as it was casting long shadows across the yard. The warriors are training outside moving slower than usual. They're still recovering from the illness that tore through the pack. I can feel it deep in my bones. Mom thinks she can protect me, that she can keep everyone safe, but I see the way she looks at me sometimes. Like she's worried I might explode again, like my magic is a ticking bomb. And maybe she's right. Ever since I lost control last time, I have felt different. More powerful, yet more. dangerous."Abigail?I turn at the sound of Uncle David

    David's POV"One thing is for sure, time is running out."The only thing I hear in my mind is Abigail's words, as the pack gets increasingly under the grip of the sickness, rattling inside my skull. The warriors, the kids, the elders,everybody gets weaker by the hour. It's faster this time, until our pack will be nothing but a memory. Now, it spreads in a fast wildfire. We don't have much time left.Serafine talked of a place deep in the forest where she found it before, but we had dismissed her. Already the pack is too weak, and to head into the forest, considering the fact that Lucian's men are lurking, is suicide. "We'll find another way," he had said, and I knew his voice because of the resolve therein. "We can't afford to lose anyone else."I nodded along with the others, but in my mind, I wasn't that convinced. What if Serafine was right? What if the cure is once more out there, just waiting for us? What if this is our only chance?I watch Abigail pale and strain with her m

    David's POV"David!" Damien's voice slices through the fog as I stumble into the clearing, my body screaming in agony. Arms grapple for me,carrying me up from the ground. Everything is foggy, distant, yet I'm able to make out his concerned face as he tugs me upright, his arms sure, strong."Get him inside!" Serafine's voice echoes with desperation.My legs buckle, and the next thing I know, I am being carried into the packhouse as my body is heavy and limp. I can feel the blood swelling from the wound in my side, and all starts to blur together as the darkness pulls me under.Hours might have passed, even more. It was sometime later that I opened my eyes. My body felt like it had been dragged through a hell of torture. I lay on the bed, and the voices were mumbling around me. My room came into view rather slowly: Serafine, Damien, Daniel, and Abigail standing close and looking strained. "He's waking up," Daniel said in a hushed tone, and then they all pressed forward.David, are

    Daniel's POV "Lucian… he has cursed the land.” The thought weighs in my mind as I scan the perimeter, my eyes scouring the dark woods for any sign of movement. Everything that has happened, everything David went through with Lucian's curse.I just can't shake the feeling there are eyes on us out here. The pack remains in a recuperative state, still weak, and we can't afford any more surprises.Not long after,I sensed motion in the shadows, something quick and silent slipping between trees. My heart skips a beat as a surge of adrenaline runs through me as I narrow my focus.A rogue.I wasted no time calling backup but before they could move, I took off running, feet pounding against the forest floor as I chased the shadowy figure. My breath comes in quick bursts, muscles straining as I drive myself faster. This means one thing: a spy. Lucian has eyes on us, and if I lose this rogue, we might never know what they're planning next.The rogue is fast, dodging between the trees with

    Serafine's POV"We can't take his word for it," I say, pacing back and forth in the packhouse. My nerves are shot, my mind racing from the rogue's offer: betrayal or sacrifice. It all seems a trap, and yet, this sickness keeps spreading. Time has run out on us. We have no answers, and the pack grows weaker with every passing day.The others huddle around the table, this weight hanging over us, like a cloud in thickness. Damien, Daniel, and David say not a word; each of them lost to his own thoughts, faces worn by lack of sleep. There's just so much tension in the room that no one seems to know what to do next."We must consider it," Daniel says finally, breaking the silence. "We have little other choice. This curse will eventually spread too far, to the point that by the time Lucian makes his move, we will be too weak to push back."Damien shakes his head, clenching his jaw in frustration. "What if this is a trap? What if the rogue is just lying, to break us from within? We can't

    Serafine's POV"What if there is no winning this without losing something or someone close to me?It still does now as I sit beside Daniel, my hands shaking while channeling what's left of my energy into his healing process. His wounds are deep, but he is strong,much stronger than I had been aware of. I feel his body respond to my magic, the edges of his cuts knitting back together, though it is far too slow.The fight outdoors had subsided, and to the surprise of all, the forces of Lucian fell back, melting into the trees without delivering the coup de grâce. Damien, David, and the rest of the pack prepared themselves for one last charge, but instead, the rogues simply… vanished.It's Lucian's game. Weaken them. Strike at them bit by bit till they fall. He's just playing with us, breaking us bit by bit.I let out a heavy breath as my body sags, worn out by the exhaustion of the healing magic. Daniel's breathing slows and evens out; his chest rises and falls gently. Hе is gоing t

    Daniel's POV"Okay. We wait."Serafine's words echo in her mind but one can see the strain on her face, the frustration in her. As we all walk out of the room, the tension is still in the air and I know we need a break. The pack has been through too much and it feels like there's much more coming.But I've always believed sometimes that laughter is the best medicine.I watch David as he walks down the hall, exhausted and spent, and then one silly notion enters my head. It has been quite a while since any of us laughed good and proper. Maybe it's kinda time to remind everyone that we're still family even with all this sickness and despair.I snuck up behind him trying my best to make as little noise as possible. Right when I am behind him, I try my best to put on the most serious tone of voice."David," I say in a low, no-nonsense tone, "it would appear that Lucian has sent a spy, and I'm afraid I am going to have to take you into custody based on suspicion of suspicious behavior.

    "You are free to choose your path, Abigail. You are stronger than his lies."The voice of Serafine sounded in my head-a small beacon of light tearing through the darkness that had consumed my mind for far too long. I felt the magic of Lucian clutching at my throat, seeking to snuff out the light, but something buried deep within me had started to stir-a truth hidden even from myself.The visions that had wracked my mind finally dissipated, and I saw Lucian's face, twisted in anticipation. He thought he had me, that he'd won, but he had no idea yet.I drew a deep breath and let the tumult of what was happening around us fade to a silent hush. Now or never. "You're right, Lucian," I said, willing my tone to stay even. "I do know what I must do."His face twisted in a triumphing leer. "Then fulfill your destiny," he hissed, reptilian.I met his stare, eyes slitting. "I already have."Before Lucian could even react, I harnessed a surge of magic deep within me and let it explode, shatteri

    As we entered deep into the tunnel , the walls seemed to close in on us. Every step that we took resounded against the blackness.With every minute, the air grew heavier as we re-approached the stronghold of Lucian, taut with tension, as every step weighed upon me. I wasn't sure if I was ready to face him; there was just no more time left for doubts. The course of events that would ensue would seal my family's fate. and maybe even my own.As we emerged from the final tunnel, the entrance to Lucian's lair loomed ahead: a dark fortress built into the side of the cavern wall. Shadows seemed to gather around it, twisting and curling like smoke. A shiver crawled down my spine as we approached, but I forced myself to stay calm. We had a plan, even if it was full of risks.We burst through the main entrance, our magic flaring to life as we fought our way inside. The clash of spells and clash of swords was heavy in the air as Lucian's forces swarmed us. I fought beside Damien, my heart r

    "We have to go after them!"Still, the last words of Damien were echoing in my ears when I finally found a moment to slip from the crowd. I pounded inside my chest, not just from the fight, but from the turmoil inside me-from Owen's betrayal-but something clanged furiously in my head. The storm at my center tore me asunder.Down a catwalk, I came to a small alcove where the darkness just about ate up any light. The cool stone walls bit into my back as I leaned against them trying to calm my breathing and the thoughts that raced through my mind. Just as I closed my eyes, a voice whispered from behind me in the dark."You look troubled, Abigail."My eyes flew open, and in that instant, my pulse shot up as finally the man stepped out of the shadows. The air seemed to have grown cold with his presence, his eyes shining with both mirth and something darker."What do you want?" I asked, trying not to let my voice show the shaking inside me.He leaned his head, lips curling into a thin s

    "Make your choice."The lieutenant's voice continued to ring in my mind, even as I ran wildly through the tunnels, my breathing rough. My heart pounded in my chest, and for one wild moment, the dark temptation of his offer pressed upon me. Betray Serafine and the pack… save myself. It was a coward's choice, a traitor's path. But a small part of me, the part of me that had doubted whether I was strong enough to protect them-whispered that maybe it could be our chance. No, I told myself sharply. I couldn't let my mind go there. I pushed it away and refocused on finding the others. I would never betray my family no matter how bad things got.Rounding a corner, I nearly collided with Damien. Relief danced across his face to see me, yet was speckled with urgency. "Daniel, thank the Moon you're here. We need to regroup—Lucian's forces are closing in fast."I nodded and fell into step beside him as we sprinted down the tunnel. The sounds of far-off fighting got louder with every step.

    The earth around me opened with so much fierceness, a low rumbling that seemed to tear the very earth asunder.Before I could even turn, the ground had split, and I was tumbling into chaos. I landed on hard earth, the impact knocking the air from my lungs. It was all chaos, dust, falling rocks, the sound of distant shouting echoing off cavern walls. As I struggled to my feet, the dust began to settle and my eyes adjusted to the dim light filtering down from above.I froze, the image around me blurring as my mind tried to wrap itself around what was happening. We fell into some sort of large underground chamber, ancient and hauntingly beautiful. Strange symbols carved into the stone walls glowed with a silvery tint of light, unlike anything I had ever seen before. It was a relic left behind by some lost, magical civilization, long forgotten by the world above.But it was what was at the center of the room that took my breath away, there was some sort of pedestal, and on top of th

    "Mom!"My own voice is returned in the darkness and the storm pounds until I feel the edge of exhaustion. The darkness courses through my body, shaking me to the core, threatening to swallow me whole in its depths. I pulled myself together, trying until I was suddenly aware that the air had shifted. The temperature drops, a coldness running down my spine. I sense him before I see him-Lucian.Lucian emerges from whirling shadows, stepping forward. Something authoritative in his figure, something coldly calm about the manner in which he advances through the chaos erupting in the air around us, draws my gaze irresistibly his way. Gleaming dark eyes fasten on me, a cold dread rising up in my chest. He raises a hand, and in but a gesture, the whirling storm around me begins to settle, as if even magic I struggle to grasp bends to his will."Enough of this, Abigail," he says smoothly, tone laced with a command. "Stop struggling with the man. You waste your breath on one not even worth

    "This is my fight now."I can feel the weight of those words as I unleash the magic inside me, channeling everything I have into this strange man who surprisingly was as strong or perhaps stronger than I am. The air crackles and hums, vibrating with energy that seems to move with time to my heartbeat. I watch as his expression changes, his eyes widening in surprise. Then I feel something else, a shift deep inside, a change that isn't altogether my own.I feel some strength gathering within me, and in an instant, it runs hard through my veins. The energy suddenly surges and explodes inside me like a continuing storm ready to tear me apart. With each surge, it becomes so much stronger than the one before and I am fighting hard to keep it inside me. My hands are shaking terribly, and my breathing is reduced. With a sense of anticipation, I realize that I could be losing this battle not to this man in front of me but to myself.Stay back!" I scream, but it sounds more like I'm plea

    "Do you feel that? What is this?"The words echo in my mind as I step into the clearing,the chaotic power, like a hurricane, surrounds me. I followed my mother for quite a long time when the air changed, it tugged at me begging me to follow her to this place before it was too late.Now, from behind the scenes, I finally see before me the scene of Serafine standing in front of the mysterious man who had set into action so much pain and manipulation, The air is really crackling with tension, and the dark magic wraps them like a cover."Let her go!" I scream, my voice carrying across the clearing. The weight of my power surges forward inside me, tightening against the reins of my control. I don't think, I act.They both turn to me then, surprised across the man's face. "You!" he exclaims, his composure cracking for a moment.

    "We have to keep running until there's no other choice but to fight."With every step, it beats in my chest, fighting my way through the thick underbrush of the forest, placing distance between myself and chaos at the stronghold. The darkness wraps around me. My mind races with thoughts of all that has brought me to this moment in life. The weight of the world is held on my shoulders and with it, the balance of my family's fate.Before me, I see the bush he told me to meet him at, with every step my pulse quickens. The thought of his wicked grin seems to flash before my mind a chilling reminder of my bargain struck. A deep breath is taken and in it, I steady myself for what is about to be. Strong, though frightened, I must be.Finally reaching the place, it is bathed in moonlight, the tall grass gently swaying with the wind of the night. There he was, waiting to see me with that annoying smirk, arms folded at his chest, as if the world belongs to him. "Serafine," he calls, with
