But it was not over, Loki stood up again ,There was raw, crackling energy between Gemini and Loki as their duel approached a fever pitch. The sheer ferocity of their conflict forced others in close proximity to flee as each collision of steel and magic shook the entire battlefield. Yet Gemini could not afford to make a mistake. She had been preparing for this moment her entire life; it was the result of every struggle that had made her the warrior she was today.With his sly smile and ruthless gaze, Loki exuded confidence. His blows were brutal, designed to inflict psychological as well as physical harm by feeding Gemini's uncertainties and anxieties. He struck with shadow magic's dark tendrils, each one bearing the weight of the warped might he had developed through the years. As he talked, his tone was laced with hatred."Is this all you’ve got, Gemini?" A column of dark fire spiraled toward her as he mockingly conjured it up. "To fail now after coming this far . Disgusting."Howeve
The battlefield fell silent, eerie and heavy as Loki's body collapsed to the ground. After the final strike, the once-deafening noise of magic and steel seemed muted and distant, as if the world itself was holding its breath. Standing over Loki's lifeless body, Gemini's chest heaved as her thoughts continued to digest the realization that Loki had lost. At last, the darkness that had threatened to devour MoonCreek and everything she cared about was gone.She had long anticipated this victory, but it did not seem victorious. The weight of the conflict had hollowed it out. The aftermath of their battle was all over the ground around her: the bodies of allies and fallen companions who had battled with her lay lifeless in the earth. Every setback was a sharp reminder to Gemini that there were always going to be costs associated with success.She collapsed to her knees, sadness and tiredness taking hold of her. Her thoughts quickly returned to the pivotal moments of the conflict—the intens
In stark contrast to the loud roar of combat that had filled the skies just hours before, the air in MoonCreek was thick with the heavy weight of calm. With its towering trees and rich sceneries, the once-vibrant town was now reduced to rubble. The streets, which had once been alive, were littered with the bodies of the dead and the wreckage of the conflict, as smoke billowed from burnt homes. It served as a sobering reminder of what they had given up.At the center of it all, Gemini stood, her chest constricted as she surveyed the devastation. Her mind was reeling from all that had transpired, and her body ached from weariness. Now that Loki was vanquished, his horror had come to an end, but the victory was not satisfying. She could see their lost loved ones' faces everywhere she looked. Battle had destroyed their house, taking with it warriors, friends, and defenseless bystanders.The survivors' robotic and eerie gaits as they made their way through the rubble. While some attended t
MoonCreek saw the break of morning, illuminating the ruins of the once-vibrant town with gentle light. There was a faint glow of new beginnings amid the ruins, albeit they were still blazing in some places. Gemini stood amidst the rubble, her heart heavy but hopeful at the same time as the sun rose higher in the sky.There was a strong smell of earth and ash in the air, yet underneath there was also the new taste of possibility. Driven by a common goal to rebuild their home, survivors were already congregating. They painstakingly cleared debris and salvaged all they could, despite the looming shadow of loss above them. Every crumbling block and broken window was a reminder of their hardship, but also of their tenacity.Together with her allies, Gemini helped raise a fallen beam that had been the town square's support. As they pulled it up, she caught sight of familiar faces—some haggard with tiredness, others brightened by determination. They had an unwritten agreement that brought th
Gemini stood on the edge of MoonCreek, staring at the horizon where the sun was rising, the memories of the struggle still raw. In sharp contrast to the ashes and debris all around her, the blazing hues adorned the sky. Even though Loki had been vanquished, it was a bittersweet victory. The real reconstruction, psychologically and physically, was only getting started.Gemini studied the terrain, well aware of the difficulties that awaited. Every building and nook in the town that had once been a hive of activity bore the marks of battle. However, she sensed a glimmer of optimism at this precise moment when the first light of day broke through the shadows. It was time to think about MoonCreek in a new light.A voice yelled out to her, yanking her from her reverie, "Gemini!" It was Nate and Jace , their dust-caked yet determined visage shining through. They moved toward her, their presence providing stability in the midst of the mayhem. "We are beginning to gather materials for the reco
Shame , toe curling shame, the kind of shame that will make you pray for the ground to open. When you feel like dying or just disappearing from sight, that’s what I felt when I was standing in the clearing under the full moon, stark naked with my demon horns on full display but with my body covered in beautiful white fur mid change, But change to what? A werewolf?.I forced my eyes open and looked around , I saw everyone who once were my family look at me like a freak.I felt my feet moving and I started running with Thier laughter preceding me. My feet pound on the wet grass, I was running away, very fast . I skid to a stop before I could slam into a fallen tree, wait was I running on all fours?, but the stop was still late enough to stub my toe hard which hurt really really bad.“Gemini! Gemini!” His voice rang in my head through the forest as I ran, but I did not wait , I just kept running.I turned a corner into a beautiful clearing with clear brooks and a wooden Mansion, Like w

Chapter TwoNate’s POVHaving just returned from closing a major deal in California, I was totally exhausted, being an Alpha and also a business man meant handling the pack business and the money business without fail , I am only grateful for one thing , the fact that atleast we are two , because Jace too is probably on his way back from Newyork city.Jordan our pack Omega came to pick me up from the Airport , I just needed to pick up my bag from baggage claim, I loved flying commercial while Jace loved prancing about in our private jet, I chuckled lightly anytime I remember how different I and my twin brother Jace truly are from each other.For one I loved the nature and people but he preferred to sit in his lab for years than interact with the normal people, so he is brooding and dark and I am all sunshine and rainbows.

A tight silence descended across the battlefield as Gemini moved forward, her heart thumping fiercely inside her chest. Even before she saw Loki, she could feel his presence; the atmosphere was eerie and thick with evil power. It appeared as though the planet itself was holding its breath for what was about to happen, as the forces that had been engaged in combat just seconds before receded into the distance.And lo and behold, Loki was there. He was positioned at the edge of the battleground, his form obscured by shadows that appeared to throb and squirm with hatred. His eyes latched on Gemini, glinting with a lethal mixture of delight and cruelty. Like her, he had been waiting for this moment as well.Loki snarled, his voice low and nasty, "It seems the prodigy finally steps into the light." "I’ve been waiting for you, Gemini."Gemini inhaled deeply and clenched her sword grip. It was finally here: the encounter she had been waiting for, the turning point that would determine not ju
The battleground was a flurry of activity, with magic crackling through the atmosphere and distant sounds of steel clashing. As the troops of MoonCreek bravely fought to preserve their land, smoke and ash obscured the horizon. Gemini remained unwavering in the middle of the combat, her eyes searching the battlefield for any indication that her forces were failing, even in the face of the terrible treachery. She knew the men were tired and the line was getting thinner, but quitting up was not an option.They were all shaken by the betrayal. Their spirits were severely damaged by Kayla's abrupt change of heart, which was caused by Loki's influence. Formerly allied warriors now regarded one another with suspicion, leery of potential foes lurking within their own ranks. Fear was a contagious emotion that Gemini could sense seeping into her warriors' hearts.They were tormented not just by their fear of Loki's strength but also by the knowledge that anyone could betray them, even people th
The fragrance of magic and blood filled the air, and the frenzy of war consumed everyone. Just barely, Gemini's men were maintaining their ground. It appeared as though Loki's army would never stop as dark creatures crashed into their ranks. As the conflict dragged on, the tension was evident as waves of adversaries responded to every attack from her teammates.But something felt off in the middle of the chaos. Gemini felt something creep up her spine, something she wasn't sure what it was at first. It resembled a storm that was approaching, barely visible but definitely close. Her instincts told her that danger was approaching faster than she thought, not from Loki's army but from within herself. She had learned to trust her gut.“Gemini!”She was startled to her right by a voice calling out. One of her closest confidants, Kayla, was there. Her arm shaking from the sword, her face pale beneath her helmet. On the eastern flank, you are needed. They're succeeding!Gemini nodded, but the
Reflecting the mayhem below, the sky above MoonCreek was a seething mass of dark clouds. With the sounds of clashing steel and the roar of magic all around her, Gemini stood at the center of the battlefield, her senses sharpened. It was official—the war was on, and there was no going back.Her warriors were dispersed over the battlefield, engaging Loki's ruthless army of gloomy monsters in small-group combat. Magic crackled in the air, bursts of energy and light illuminating the battlefield as spells met. With their power already strained, her friends battled to hold their lines while orders were shouted. The black army threatened to overpower them with their sheer numbers as they poured in all directions.Heart pounding, Gemini forced herself to stay focused. They couldn't afford any mistakes because the fight was as much about strategy as it was about strength. That was something she had to learn the hard way during her arduous training. Every choice was important, and every action
