The preparations for war begun almost immediately. The various alphas and nobles begun gathering supplies and messengers were sent out to every corner of the realm.The preparations went on into the midnight. Asher stood at the entrance to the Royal Hall with Lucius when Luna came to him."I'll leave you two now", Lucius said as he winked at Asher and walked away."Hey Luna", Asher said tenderly."I have been searching for you for some time now", Luna said."We have been trying to ensure that the presentations go smoothly""I can see that", Luna replied. "Come on", Asher said as he took Luna's hands and led her out of the Royal Hall. They made their way to the tower which was situated at the middle of the city."Quite the view, isn't it?", Asher said."It is...", Luna replied. "I've missed you""I missed you too", Asher said."You could have come looking for me", Luna said. "I thought you would be in the capital, I hoped you would be in the capital. There hasn't been a day that went
Boom!!!A large explosion rippled through the capital as confusion and panic swept through like wildfire.Rey and Lucius had just discovered that Silverwood forest was destroyed and so they rushed back to the Capital sensing that the capital would be next. The King, who had organised a banquet, was still in a festive mood, but his happiness was cut short by a sudden attack.Boom!!!Boom!!!Explosions continued to ripple through the Capital as screams and wails of despair and agony continued to resound through the sky.The wolf packs and noble houses quickly mobilised their best warriors and Alphas to face an unknown foe and the Royal guards were dispatched around the capital.Boom! Boom! Boom!But it was useless, the attacks continued to happen in quick succession and no matter how much they looked for the culprits, they couldn't find them.The Capital was quickly thrown into a panic.Rey and Lucius rode into the city gates just in time to witness the explosions."You go and rendezvous
As the first rays of dawn painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, Lucius and Asher sat in quiet contemplation, their minds heavy with the events of the previous night. The Capital still bore the scars of the explosive onslaught, with buildings damaged and the streets littered with debris. But there was no time for mourning; a gathering storm of darkness loomed, and the fate of their pack hung in the balance.Lucius turned his gaze toward the horizon, where the silhouette of the castle stood as a stark reminder of the Alpha King's tragic demise. "We can't let Deucalion's reign of terror continue," he whispered, more to himself than to Asher."You're right," Asher agreed, his eyes filled with determination. "We must rally our pack, gather our allies, and prepare for the battle ahead. Our only chance at stopping Deucalion is to unite our forces."Lucius nodded in agreement, the weight of responsibility settling squarely on his shoulders. "We need to find Rey and the mages of light. Th
A few days went by and the News of Lucius's return to the capital and official declaration of war by the Royal Court and Noble Houses had spread like wildfire.The Kingdom was in a frenzy as it readied for the upcoming war. The King had made an announcement on the matter, but the citizens of the Capital were more interested in the return of the missing Alpha and his pack. News that Rey's magic could undo the effects of the Dark spells on the people and treat all manner of ailments also spread throughout the Realm.In order to deal with the influx of patients, Rey and the rest of the group had relocated to the palace and were given access to the King's personal clinic.It had been three days since then, and Rey's days were spent treating the patients in the clinic tending to affected humans and werewolves alike, this news spread to the farthest edge of the realms and had resulted in all manner of packs, groups and individuals flocking the capital city in hopes of a cure.At first, the s
Hyperion's boots crunched against the fallen leaves as he stepped into the heart of Silverwood forest. The ancient trees rose around him seemed alive, it was almost like they were looking at him, their towering branches woven together to form an intricate canopy. He always felt so uneasy whenever he was in Silverwood. He knew that the traces of dark magic within him made the forest spirits unwilling to welcome him,he however liked the ambiance of the Forest, It was a place of enchantment, he made his way to the centre of the forest where he found Seraphina.She stood there, her silver hair shimmering in the dappled sunlight that filtered through the leaves and a wry smile played on her lips. "Hyperion, you've arrived just in time," she said, Hyperion could tell that She had been expecting him.Hyperion took a moment to absorb the surroundings, then turned his attention back to Seraphina. "You've done something extraordinary here.News of the Crimson Pack's re-emergence and return to th
Deucalion rode Into a fortress deep within the woods. The Lycans now had a stronghold far enough from the capital to escape being noticed.The castle had become ground zero for all their plans and and schemes. The Lycans had decided to meet in light of recent events. As Deucalion walked in, he saw that they were already seated."Welcome everyone", he begun with a hollow smile. "We have a problem...""Problems", Interrupted Argon. "Silverwood is somehow intact again and Lucius amasses a massive army against us as we speak""They all pale in comparison to our much bigger problem", Deucalion said as he gently and calmly sat on his seat. "Hyperion betrayed us""I never trusted him", Argon replied. "But you gave him free reign and now he turns out to be a traitor""Yes, yes I know""It doesn't matter much", Jade said.Jade leaned forward, her eyes glinting with a sinister intent. "You see, Deucalion, while Silverwood was temporarily destroyed, it unleashed a surge of dark magic that I mana
Argon immediately set off for the capital before nightfall. Deucalion remained in the cabinet room reviewing plans for war till almost Midnight. "You work too hard", Jade said as she came in. "Are you worried?" "I am cautious", he answered. "Good, caution is healthy but you should also sleep. You need to be fresh in the morning, we have a long day ahead of us" "You care about me...", Deucalion teased as he pulled her closer to himself. Jade smiled, "Don't flatter yourself..." They both smiled as the tension slowly piqued. "I want you", Jade whispered to Deucalion. "You have me", Deucalion said. "Then kiss me", Jade said naughtily. They both begun to kiss very passionately and intensely. Jade quickly made her way to the table and pushed all the paperwork to the floor. She sat on the table and spread her legs as Deucalion slowly ran his tongue around her pussy lips. She moaned as she felt the sensations course through her body. He started by kissing the outer folds and then
Argon crouched in the shadows of an alleyway just beyond the towering walls of the capital city. Clad in dark, hooded attire, he blended seamlessly with the dimly lit surroundings, his heart pounding in anticipation. Beside him was a mage from the veiled serpents, her robe concealing her identity, ready to lend her magical skills to the mission.Argon's target was the Prince, the last remaining pure-blooded wolf in the capital, and the key to the Lycans' plans. The Royal Palace lay just beyond the city's main gate, a formidable structure guarded by the elite Royal Guards. But Jade had assured them that the Prince's security was not as tight as the rest of the Royal family.Argon's plan was to infiltrate the palace quietly, avoid detection by the guards, and extract the Prince alive. He knew that any harm done to the Prince would alert the Crimson Pack and potentially disrupt their grand strategy, the last thing he wanted was to face off the Crimson pack in the Castle.With a nod to the
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
