Hyperion's voice was laced with a hint of satisfaction. "the plan is proceeding as intended. The trio of Leina, Asher, and Luna has stumbled upon the ancient texts, unearthing fragments of the truth we carefully planted. They are on the path we want them to tread."Deucalion's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Excellent. The pieces are falling into place. Soon the great beast will walk amongst us again"A low growl rumbled through the gathered Lycans, their eyes blazing with a mix of anticipation and bloodlust. They were united in their desire to see their Alpha return."It has been ages easing up this", Baratheon said as the others nodded in agreement.Hyperion stepped forward, his voice filled with conviction. "But we must proceed with caution, Deucalion. Leina, Asher, and Luna are not to be underestimated, the Crimson pack can not be underestimated. They possess a determination and resilience that can pose a threat to our plans. Also, Lucius may not yet be a Lycan but he matched

"I am almost scared of what answers might await us", Rey said to Luna as she tested on her."We still need to try", Luna insisted as she begun to pat and stroke Rey's hair. She partly felt the same way that Rey felt and she knew that the answers to the questions they were asking were going to uncover a history of pain. "Do you know what Damnatio Memoriae is?", Luna asked Rey."I have heard of it; it is some sort of punishment where offenders are forgotten and any trace of them is totally abandoned and erased", Rey replied while trying to recollect any detail she may have missed out."It is more like a ritual. A binding vow, it even erases memories", Luna replied.Rey looked at Luna as she sat up, she was obviously trying to understand Luna's point. Luna returned her gaze and sighed."It is almost like someone did it to the events and people that were involved in this story. Someone really didn't want anyone digging into the past", Luna said."That might be true", Rey said. " We may b
Marked by Moonlight: A Rejected Mate's Redemption CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX : THE LIVING ARTIFACT
The Elder Seeker's words hung in the air, sending a shiver down the spines of Lucius and his pack. It was clear that the Seekers would not easily divulge their knowledge to just anyone. They demanded a test, a challenge that would prove the worthiness of those seeking their wisdom.Lucius, impulsively stepped forward, he wasted no time to deliberate. "We accept your challenge," he declared, his voice steady. "We will do whatever it takes, we have come this far and we won't back down now, we can't back down now. I have no plans of letting anyone in my pack get hurt or die"The Elder Seeker studied Lucius, his eyes glanced around Lucius as if his gaze pierced into Lucius. "Very well," he said, his voice carrying a mixture of wonder and anticipation. "There is a sacred artifact, lost to time, hidden deep within the Forbidden Catacombs. It is said to hold the key to unlocking the darkest secrets of our realm."The Betas exchanged wary glances, aware of the treacherous reputation of the Fo
Marked by Moonlight: A Rejected Mate's Redemption CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN : THE LIVING ARTIFACT 2
The being, realizing that Rey had recognized its true nature, chuckled softly. "Indeed, I am the artifact you seek," it admitted, its voice resonating within the chamber. "I am known as Astorion, the Keeper of Wisdom and Guardian of the Eternal Light."Lucius and Rey exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued by Astorion's revelation. They had anticipated encountering challenges and adversaries within the catacombs, but they never expected to encounter a sentient artifact that held the knowledge they sought."We have come seeking the wisdom and knowledge that lies within you, Astorion," Lucius spoke, his voice filled with a mix of reverence and determination. "We aim to bring light to the darkness that plagues our realm and restore balance. We are willing to prove ourselves worthy of your guidance."Astorion's ethereal form glowed brighter, seemingly acknowledging Lucius's words. "The path you have chosen is fraught with peril," it warned. "The challenges you will face are not only phy

Rey nodded, her eyes reflecting her unwavering support. "Of course, Lucius. We will face this together, just as we always have," she affirmed, her voice filled with determination.Astorion sensed their resolve and nodded in approval. "Very well, prepare yourselves," it said, its ethereal form pulsating with energy. "Close your eyes, clear your minds, and let the memories of your past selves wash over you."As Lucius and Rey followed Astorion's instructions, a wave of vivid images and emotions began to flood their consciousness. They felt the sensation of fur against their skin, the rush of the wind as they sprinted through moonlit forests, and the raw power surging through their veins.The memories revealed a tale of two souls destined to bring balance to their realm but bound by a tragic flaw. Lucian, a valiant and noble Lycan, and his beta, a Moon Alpha named Elara, had joined forces in their quest to vanquish the black beast that threatened their land. However, their true bond had

Asher and Luna waited outside the Catacombs for Lucius and Rey. It was well past midnight and the pair has yet to re emerge. Asher could see that Luna was getting worried and he begun trying to calm her down, "They'll be back. They've probably just ran into something that caught their attention.""But it's been hours." Luna said. "If I wasn't a Catalyst I'd go looking for them, they could have gotten hurt or worse!""I'm sure Lucius is fine. He's had his fair share of adventures back in the day. I'm sure Rey will have a good reason for taking so long.", replied Asher. "Besides, their medals are still glowing which means that they are fine ""True", Luna sighed. She felt a sense of relief flood her. "Thanks Asher""Come here", Asher said as he pulled Luna to himself. They both smiled briefly and remained mute for a moment, Luna suddenly looked at Asher and they begun to kiss.Luna quickly placed her hands inside Asher's Trousers as his hardness intensified.Asher groaned as Luna's war
Marked by Moonlight: A Rejected Mate's Redemption CHAPTER FORTY : NEW PERSPECTIVE
Rey and Lucius looked at each other as they tried to make sense of all they had discovered. It made little sense to Rey; Past Lives, prophecies and mages of dark magic. It all sounded like a dream to Rey, one that she really wanted to wake up from. She had not signed up for any of this and she felt overwhelmed. But she somehow felt that she was where she needed to be."What if I can't do this", Rey asked.Lucius turned to her as he very quickly sensed her self doubt. He walked up to her and smiled. "I am sure that you can, you are strong and powerful and you have me""I know, but sometimes all this feels so weird like I am in a dream", Rey replied with a sigh."You have to hang in there for me, for Luna and for all who have no choice", Lucius said as he reassured her."Okay", Rey said as she nodded. Lucius always has a strong influence on her and it was proving to be important.Rey couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more, something deeper connecting her to this journe

As Lucius held Rey's hand, he could sense her growing unease. Her words about the temple and the voice she had heard stirred something within him. He could see the fear in her eyes, and in that moment, he knew what he had to do."I feel overwhelmed", Rey begun as her eyes teared up.Gently, Lucius pulled Rey into an embrace, wrapping his arms around her as he pressed a tender kiss on her forehead. He whispered soothing words, trying to calm her racing thoughts and ease her panic attack. Rey's tense body gradually relaxed in his embrace, finding solace in his comforting presence.After a few moments, Rey's breathing steadied, and she looked up at Lucius with gratitude in her eyes. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice still filled with traces of anxiety. "I don't know what came over me."Lucius gave her a reassuring smile. "It's alright, Rey. Sometimes, the weight of destiny can feel overwhelming. But we're in this together, and I believe in us."Rey nodded, finding solace in Lucius' u

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.

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.

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
