As the pack faced the threat of the vampire coven, I knew we had to act quickly. The elders gathered in the council chamber. It was obvious they were worried about our safety as much as I was.With resolve, I approached the council. As the new head general and semi Alpha, I felt responsible for protecting our pack. We needed to strengthen our defenses and prepare for the upcoming attack. I was determined to do whatever it took to keep everyone safe."Brothers and sisters, Elders and generals," I addressed the council, "we cannot afford to be complacent. The vampires are growing bolder with each passing day, and we must be prepared to defend our home and our people. Theo, one of the pack hunters alerted me a few days ago about some vampires conspiring to attack the grove days before the war finally happens as a means to weaken our stronghold and will before the battle. We need to show them that we're prepared for their advance, but with the use of old devices and weapons, we may sadly

Flashback ~ETHAN'S POV~"What did you just say?" Pablo's eyes narrowed."I am not doing anything you ask of me until you tell me what you did to Jaxon."My heart pounded in my chest as I stood in front of Pablo. I couldn't hold back any longer as anger and frustration boiled through me. I needed answers, and I deserved to know the truth."I taught him a lesson…a lesson he would never forget." He said and licked the edge of his blade. He went on to say more but I could barely listen with a straight face."Pablo, how could you do that to Jaxon?" My face contorted in disgust. "He did everything for you yet you hurt him.""Apparently not everything…" Pablo's expression remained stoic, and he spoke in a calm, detached tone. "I did what was necessary for the greater good of our mission," he replied, his words echoing with an unsettling sense of righteousness."The greater good?" I spat, unable to contain my anger any longer. "You manipulated Jaxon, you didn't value him. You used him.""He
The evening was spooky, with fog all around as Leo and Ethan arrived in the caves. They had to find that medallion so they could be given another chance at summoning their demon lord.Ethan who was also confused as to why their search had changed its course asked Leo, "I didn't want to seem too inquisitive but I feel I should ask why we're no longer looking for the journal and ring but now…a medallion.""You're so simple minded, Ethan. It is not just any medallion. It is the Bodessa medallion, forged from the breasts of the goddess Odessa herself, the same breasts the demon lord rested on and slept with. It is the only artifact that can immediately summon the demon Lord upon calling from it, without waiting for centuries to get a single chance which one may likely flop at, which we have flopped at."Ethan decided not to ask any more questions but just follow and wait. It was pretty obvious their alliance wasn't strong, and they both had their own plans.When they reached where the med
In the dream, Lily, Sarah, Theo and I were discussing our next steps to finding a way to stop more vampires from entering our boundary. We were in the main room. Suddenly, darkness loomed over the grove and I saw through the window, Audrey walking towards the pack with an eerie black fog enveloping her every step.The dark fog surrounded her, and her eyes glowed with an unnatural intensity. "Well, well, well, look who decided to show up," she sneered.We all immediately became alarmed and ran outside.Lily stepped forward, "What do you want, Audrey?" she demanded."Oh, just to have a little chat with my former friends," Audrey replied, her voice dripping with venom. "You see, I've come to realize that I am truly better off without all of you."I felt a surge of anger rise within me. "You betrayed us, Audrey," I said, "We trusted you, and you turned your back on us."Audrey laughed mockingly. "Trust is such a naive concept, Tyler," she said. "You should have known better than to put yo
In the dark cave, Adrian lay still on the cold floor, unconscious. Inside his mind, memories and dreams swirled. But in the darkness, Lily's image appeared. His consciousness had left him for about a month but suddenly seeing Lily call out to him after so long being trapped in nothingness, gave him all the power he needed to fight through.He needed to fight through the darkness. He needed to break through the nothingness. She had been so loyal to him. She had sacrificed so much for him. He needed to be by her side.As he lay there, his inner hybrid power started to awaken. Half of his body slowly transformed, showing the vigour within him coming back to life. The upper part of his body was fully hybrid while his abdomen to his toe remained as they were.His chest bore a pattern of iridescent scales that shimmered, reminiscent of a dragon's hide. These scales extended from his broad shoulders, down his powerful arms, and across his well-defined pectoral muscles. His arms appeared mor
Adrian's hybrid form receded, and he stood there, breathing heavily, struggling to regain control over his emotions. "You don't deserve a quick death," he said with a cold and emotionless voice. "Live with the knowledge that you failed, and that I spared your life."He immediately snapped his neck. Leo's eyes went white and foam mixed with blood started coming out of his mouth. Leo was unable to defend himself against Adrian and Ethan watched in horror.Yet, even in his anger, Adrian still had some humanity left. He looked up at Ethan who was already begging for his life with his eyes, "I didn't kill him….not yet. Neither will I personally kill you, Ethan. Your actions will catch up to you sooner or later." Despite his desire for revenge, he refused to become the monster they wanted him to be.After those words, he walked away from Leo, who was left convulsing on the ground. Ethan, who had been watching, decided to run away, afraid of the sight of Leo and what Adrian would do to him.
My father was the first person Adrian wanted to see. I didn't know why but I took him to my dad without questions. My father's reaction was as expected. Shock, disbelief and a hint of fear."Adrian … you're not dead?" The way he said it as if he was asking a question almost made me giggle but I knew better and kept a straight face. Seeing my dad walk to Adrian and put a hand over his shoulder made me recall the visions I had about both of them. I had already planned to ask Adrian about them when he was fully settled in.Next, we went to my mom's room. Adrian felt worse than I did when he saw my mom's condition. I sat beside her, holding her hands, while Adrian stood beside me.She saw him and simply smiled. Then with a frail voice she said, "I knew you were also alive. " She paused then talked again, "I know how both of you feel for eachother. I can't speak for your father but I know anyone who can take care of my daughter and make her smile so brightly as she is now is the right one
