Marked by Moonlight: A Rejected Mate's Redemption CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINE : DEEP BENEATH
Lucius, Asher, and Orion rode through the dark, moonless night, their destination looming ahead - the Mirror caves. The trio rose along quietly as each man reminisced on the task that may ahead, it was a suicide mission of sorts and they all knew it. As they ride towards the caves, Xavier met up with them and the 4 men made their way to the cave.The journey had been arduous, but they had no choice; the fate of their pack and the safety of their realm depended on their success. As they rode, Lucius's mind was occupied with thoughts of the impending confrontation with the Lycans. The stakes were high, and the consequences of failure would be dire, he knew that his men were scared but he also knew that they were loyal and they didn't fear death. Their defiance had proven to be a thorn in the flash of the Lycans."We need to be cautious," Lucius cautioned the group. "The Mirror caves are a treacherous place. We cannot underestimate the Lycans nor the dangers within.""We are taking the r

As the cave continued to collapse around them, Lucius knew they were running out of time as water quickly rushed into the cave. “We need to find an opening as soon as possible", Asher shouted as he tried to catch a breath.“I see a light", Lucius said as he looked at his left. “Let’s go"The pack swam desperately through the underground waters, trying to find a way out, but each attempt only brought them back to the same spot. Panic and exhaustion threatened to overtake them.“We are going in circles", Orion noted. “And our energy is being drained"“I feel weaker", Asher said.“It is almost like the water is draining our life energy”, Xavier said as he had a mini epiphany.“That is because it is", Orion said. “we won’t last here for a long time"“What do we do?, we are trapped”, Asher said as he turned to Lucius. Drawing on his deep connection to nature's energy, Lucius closed his eyes and focused his mind. He could feel the pulse of the earth, the flow of energy through every livin

As the pack walked through the dense forest, their minds were filled with concern about the passage of time in their absence. Asher, with his practical nature, tried to reassure them."Perhaps time dilation in the cave caused the discrepancy," Asher suggested. "To us, it might have felt like hours, but for those outside, weeks might have passed. We should find a way to communicate with our realm and let them know we are safe."Lucius nodded, acknowledging the validity of Asher's point. "You're right. We need to find a way to reach our friends and inform them of our situation. Let's ask the villagers if they have any means of communication."The pack continued returned from their journey, making their way to the village's center. There, they met with the village elder, who welcomed them with both gratitude and curiosity. The elder, a wise and weathered figure, listened intently as the pack explained their situation."We come from a distant land, and we got trapped in a cave," Lucius ex

“We are home", Lucius said.“It is about time", Asher said as he sighed.The group walked a bit further down the trail when they heard a scream.“Lucius!!!!!!!!!!!”, yelled a figure as he approached them from he shadows, it was Deucalion. “You", Lucius sneered. The air crackled with tension as Lucius and Deucalion locked eyes, their gazes filled with animosity. Deucalion had been waiting for this moment, seeking vengeance for the defeats he had suffered at the hands of Lucius and his pack. He saw this as an opportunity to crush the pack's spirit and solidify his dominance over the realm."You're finally here, Lucius," Deucalion snarled, his voice laced with malice. "I've been waiting for this day, the day I end your pathetic existence once and for all."“What do you want?”, Lucius asked. “A duel, a duel to end all this once and for all", Deucalion replied. “A duel to put all this back and forth to bed and decide who gets to rule"Lucius took a step forward, undeterred by Deucalion’

Rey remained with Lucius as he struggled to heal, the rest of the pack had begun to convene on them. Luna returned and she happy to see Rey. Leina had also returned from her journey with Camilla and Styria, and the trio of Orion, Xavier and Asher were there too.“How is he?”, Leina asked Rey.“I’m not sure, some days are good and other are scary", Rey replied.As the pack gathered around Lucius, their hearts heavy with worry, they knew that time was of the essence. Xavier and Asher had rushed around the capital to gather medical supplies and any available healers, while the rest of the pack remained by Lucius's side.Rey was beside herself with fear and concern for her mate. She held Lucius's hand tightly, praying for his swift recovery. Orion tried his best to stabilize Lucius's condition, but it was clear that the poison from Deucalion's dagger was potent and insidious."I don't understand," Orion said, his brow furrowed with worry. "I've tried every remedy, every healing spell I kn

"What!!!!", exclaimed Asher. "You are his mother?", Orion asked as he moved his gaze between Rey and Cersei. "You knew about this Rey""I did, I and Luna have known about it for a while", Rey replied."So has Leina", Cersei said. "I charged them all to secrecy till the right time"As the pack members continued to exchange surprised glances, Rey turned to Cersei once more."How did you know that he was poisoned?", Rey asked.Cersei gave a blank smile and her eyes became distant. "Because he is my bloodline," she said softly. "This really is weird, you have been alive all this time?", Asher said, he was struggling to accept what he just heard. "I'm sorry but this seems like a dream""You left him all alone, why????", Orion questioned."There must have been a reason right? Because no mother would just do that", Camilla chimed in.The questions poured in as the pack continued to exchange confused glances. Rey, on the other hand, stayed quiet, listening to Cersei explain why she left Luc

Luna walked up to Asher who was sitting alone by a corner, he was clearly lost in thought and she could tell that the recent events were bothering him."Mind if I join you?", Luna asked."Well, I don't have a say.", Asher said as he shifted."No, you don't.", Luna said as she sat next to him, "Why do you feel so uncomfortable with this place? I can tell that something is troubling you.""It's just...", Asher begun. "Lucius getting poisoned, his mother showing up, finding out that you knew about it and said nothing""I was charged to Secrecy. I had to keep my word. Doesn't change how I feel about you", Luna said as she placed her hands on Asher's. "I am just so glad that I can finally hold you once more""We had no idea that we had been gone for that long, the lakes have powerful time Dilation magic", Asher said."Time Dilation?", Luna asked."The longer you stay in the lake, the more time passes in the outside world", Asher said."How does that work? How could there be a lake with pow

"Really", Luna said. "I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I think it's something that I want for us. I want us to have a family. A family with you""That's a huge decision. Do you think we are ready?", Asher asked."We won't know until we try..... if I'm going to do this then I might as well do it with you""I love you, Luna. I want to make a family with you too"Luna's face broke into a wide smile. She leaned forward and kissed him hard on the lips. She could feel his heart beating rapidly inside of his chest and she knew that he was nervous. She could feel his hesitation."Don't worry, my love. We'll figure it out. Together, we can do anything", Luna said as she held him tight. "You're not alone anymore, Asher"Asher had never felt so loved. He wanted to be a part of Luna's life, he wanted to spend the rest of his days with her.*** Rey and Cersei had been in Lucius' room for hours, Leina walked in to find them both asleep."You both can rest, I'll be here for a while", Le

Lycaon, his form oozing with the shadows that surrounded him, approached Deucalion with an air of sinister satisfaction. "Deucalion, your schemes are inconsequential. I've spent eons in the dark realms, and my powers have grown beyond your feeble comprehension."Deucalion, maintaining a facade of defiance, questioned, "What dark realms have you ventured into, and what did you see in the dark realm?""This world is but only a fraction of existence. There are realms of gods, demons, beasts and all sorts of monsters that defy your imagination. I have seen the truth of it all and I know that this is all a waste of time.", Lycaon replied. "Welcome back, we have eagerly awaited you", Deucalion said.Lycaon chuckled, a sound that echoed through the chamber. "Time, Deucalion, time has been my ally. In the void between realms, I tapped into the very essence of the shadows. The power that courses through me is ancient, unfathomable, and all-encompassing."As the truth of Lycaon's ascent to dar

"You need to stop Jade. We can't keep doing this. Please", Seraphina said to Jade."Please?Isn't it a bit too late for that? This is such a wrong time for this and here you are in my way again like old times. You relish these opportunities don't you?", Jade taunted. She was was so visibly taken over by the darkness that it distorted her face."I never stood in your way", Seraphina calmly replied. "YesYou can't stand in my way. I have always been more powerful than you and you can't do anything about that. You can't stop me!!!!!I am stronger than you and I will kill you", Jade said."When did we come to this?We used to be a whole", Seraphina said as she brought out her pendant. "Deep down we never stopped being a whole"Jade looked at the Pendant and she paused, she remembered Jade, in a momentary lapse of the darkness that consumed her, looked at the pendant that Seraphina held aloft. The memories of their shared past, of a time when their father, Herod, had given them identical

Rey and Deucalion battled on and Rey struggled on but Rey found herself loosing the duel. Deucalion used his chains to keep her away and she struggled to get in."You are no challenge to me, little one", Deucalion said. "You are way in above your head and you came alone""What do you think imthe fate of a lone wolf is?That omega that moves alone, what do you think it's fate is", Deucalion asked."That would be accurate, but haven't you heard? I am no no omega. I am an Alpha and one thing about an Alpha is that he always has his pack", Rey said as Luna charged in with a deop kick on Deucalion, he staggered back as he grunted in pain as Hyperion and Seraphina rushed in too. "I am not alone", Rey said."You??An Alpha??, what sorcery is this?", Deucalion asked.Deucalion, seething with anger, turned his gaze toward Hyperion, his former ally. "Hyperion, you dare betray me? A coward's move," he sneered, chains crackling as he prepared for another assault. "Or maybe this has always been

"What do you mean by I am the leader now?", Rey asked."It is all about you, you are the key to all of this and you have become the alpha. You have become the true reason that we have a fighting chance and you have made tjing such different for us. You have been the difference between the two sides", Lucius said.Rey tried protesting further as she looked around but she saw that everyone seemed to approve. "I can't lead, I am not a leader""But you have been subconsciously doing it, you have been leading for a long time now without realising it", Seraphina said."I don't know", Rey replied."Just accept it, we don't have much time for uncertainties. I will need you to trust me", Lucius said."I trust you", Rey replied. Although she was still visibly confused and didn't quite accept."Then you shall lead us into battlefield", Seraphina said.Rey nodded and looked at the map, she decided to trust Seraphina's words. She decided to let go of everything. All her worries and all her doubts

Jade looked at the Prince who had finally woken up from his sleep."Your highness, you are awake.Just in time for the grand finale. You are gonna be part of the climax to a two thousand year old story. Isn't that fantastic?", Jade said as she laughed.The prince looked around as he tried to process where he was. His vision was still a bit blurry and his head spun like he had a hangover."Don't worry about it, you have no idea where you are because enough have never been here. As a matter of fact, you are very far from home. You are where it all ends and today shall mark the beginning of the end for the world as you know it", Jade said in a corny voice."Jade...Stop monologuing to the prince", Deucalion said. "What is the status report Argon and his forces?""They have been thoroughly defeated and Argon is dead", Jade said non challantly."What did you just say?",Hyperion said as he tried to understand what Jade was saying. "Argon was killed in battle?.That is impossible", Hyperion r

Meanwhile Rey, Seraphina and Lucius made their way through the Iron Castle as they searched for the prince but to no avail. They went through several guards and still there were no important leads."Something is wrong", Hyperion said."How?, are we missing something?", Rey asked."Most likely, the castle isnr guarded enough. Are you saying that the prince isn't here?", Seraphina asked. "I'm saying that i doubt he was ever here to begin with, they wouldn't even perform the ritual here. The ritual will be done at world's edge", Hyperion said."Are you sure about this?", Seraphina asked. "It is the only place .....World's edge also happens to be the focal point in this realm during the convergence, it is the point where the main portal will appear and based on Legend, it is the only point with enough energy to pull something Into this realm", Hyperion replied. "Where is world's edge?", Rey asked visibly confused."It is an ancient structure. It was where Elara and Lucian sacrificed

"A hunch?'", Argon said. "You making fun of me?""No I really did follow my hunch because the force that awaited my company at the black sea was too small.They also didn't put up a proper resistance and it didn't help that their leader withdrew early from the battlefield. So I figured that the most plausible reason In such a case was that this location will become ground zero for a major conflict so I decided to mount the corpses of the dead and send them after Deucalion. By now Deucalion would have figured out that he got played and he would have realised that your forces are going to be decimated.", Lucius replied. "You are indeed full of surprises, I would never have imagined such an outcome to this battle. You both are truly impressive and have my commendation. ", Argon said."Well, I'm flattered but it is futile to thank me because you are already dead", Lucius said as he drew his sword."I won't go down easily", Argon said. "You may be part Lycan but you will need more than t

"So my question to you really is what kind of man are you?", Lucius asked."Well, there is only one way to find out Lucius. When I have to lay it all down then that is when I will have an answer", Magnus laughed. As he charged towards the incoming army, Magnus couldn't help but smile as he remembered his discussion with Lucius. He had always thought that Lucius was the mad and suicidal one and he never imagined himself making such a decision but now that he was In the moment, he didn't seem to mind. He felt an unusual feeling of Satisfaction. The two armies collided and the battle was intense, but the advance of Argon's forces was greatly slowed down by the presence of all the traps and trenches that the first company had laued down. Magnus's tactics was working well but the disparity in numbers was too great. The first company had a total force of twenty thousand men while Argons army had a force of nearly a hundred thousand. Slowly but steadily Argon's forces relentlessly threw t

Magnus and his company had arrived at the kesk region, it was a relatively poor area with a massive amount of humans and low bloods."What do you think?", Genos asked Magnus."We shall stay here until further notice. Lucius and his company should have already begun engaging the enemy or they would begin anytime soon. We should be ready in case we need to be backup.", Magnus said. "But something feels off""Most of the inhabitants in these regions have fled", Genos said. "No...Something else is wrong but I can't place my hands on it. Keep the company alert.", Magnus said. Magnus patrolled the area with Genos who was confused as to why Magnus was so worked up."What exactly are you looking for?", Genos asked curiously."This place...Everything about is wrong. What is west of this place?", Magnus asked."The Sleep mountains", Genos replied as he looked at the map. "It is extremely rocky and difficult to navigate""And the East?", Magnus asked again as he listened intently. "The Cas
