Leo's encounter with Ethan was unexpected. He caught him snooping around the rumbles of the coven. At first glance, he looked like one of his loyal followers. However, as Leo looked closer, he noticed a hint of hesitation in Ethan's eyes. He knew what that look was as he'd seen it one too many times, but he never thought he would see it in someone like Ethan.That flicker of uncertainty in Ethan's eyes immediately raised Leo's suspicion."Hey, Ethan!" Leo got Ethan's attention, "What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be with the others?"Ethan tried to maintain his facade, but the guilt was evident in his response. He ran to Leo's front. "Uh, yeah, I was just... checking the perimeter. You know, making sure everything is secure."Leo narrowed his eyes, sensing something was off. "Checking the perimeter? We have enough men to handle that. Why aren't you with the others?"Caught in a lie, Ethan's shoulders slumped slightly. He knew he couldn't deceive Leo any longer. "Okay, fi
As the days passed, the tension in the grove seemed to remain at a certain state. Tyler was always training with the warriors whilst my father and the elders planned how the impending war would play out to our favour. All in all, our unity grew stronger as we worked together to face the impending threat. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there was one thing that remained constant - the growing bond between Sarah and Theo.I often found myself stealing glances at them when they thought no one was looking. They had a unique connection that seemed to transcend the chaos surrounding us. Sarah and Theo made a great match. Sarah's fiery and bubbly nature matched Theo's calm and thoughtful nature. When they were together, it felt like they brought comfort and hope in the midst of the difficulties we were facing, not just to themselves but the people around them also.One evening, as the sun set, I saw Sarah and Theo sitting in the garden. They seemed to be having a serious conversation the
She sat beside me, "Why were you talking to yourself?""No, no, I wasn't…just trying to remember something." I said nervously."Trying to remember what?" She raised an eyebrow."Something."She laughed, "You're funny sometimes."The moon hung overhead like a shimmering pearl in the dark sky, reflecting a soft glow on Sarah's radiant face. She looked even prettier. This was going to be harder than I thought.Trying to calm my nerves, I breathed out. Think, be calm, think.We had been through so much together and faced dangers that had brought us closer than ever before. Our bond had grown stronger with each passing day. I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of admiration and affection for Sarah. I was bound to fall for her.She turned to me, her eyes sparkling like stars, and a faint smile played on her lips. "Theo," she whispered, "It's so crazy.""What?"Pink blots of blush appeared on her cheeks, "That we're having war romance,"I raised an eyebrow up, "War romance? What's
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
