"After Damon rejected and banished me from his pack, he sent a beast to track and kill me. It was a terrifying ordeal, and I barely escaped with my life. Furthermore, I think he may have ties to black magic and a terrifying conspiracy"“Conspiracy?”, Aurora asked.“Ever heard of the black beast and the…”, Rey begun.“Alpha pack of Lycans?”, Aurora replied.Rey paused and looked at Aurora, Aurora had listened intently, her expression remaining unchanged. It seemed as though she had expected such revelations.“I am telling you things you already know, aren’t I?”, Rey asked.“I only know a minuscule of the truth”, Aurora

The air was swarmed with hostility as Damon presented himself before the king, he was obviously determined to counter Lucius at every possible turn.Damon had risen in ranks among the alphas in resent times and was now respected and feared in the realm, He stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Lucius with disdain."Beware, Your Majesty," Damon began, his tone dripping with skepticism. "These are bold claims from a pack that has thrived in secrecy, shrouded by the enchantment of Silverwood. Should we blindly trust them and risk destabilizing the power hierarchy that has been established in our realm?"The room grew tense, the atmosphere thick with tension. Damon's words resonated with some alphas who valued the existing power structure, while others awaited Lucius's response with keen interest. Damon was also obviously trying to pitch as many alphas as possible the Crimson pack by painting them as disruptors who had no regard for the power structure and he was already showing signs of succ

"Rey has nothing to discuss with you in private. Whatever you have to say, you can say in front of me.""So you are her little guard dog now",

Lucius and Rey exchanged a concerned look, their minds racing to comprehend the implications of the Alpha King's words. The corruption spreading in the realm was a grave threat, and the emergence of the Lycans only heightened the urgency of the situation."What do we know about this corruption, Your Majesty?" Lucius asked, his voice filled with determination. "And how do the Lycans fit into the equation?"The Alpha King sighed heavily, weariness evident in his eyes. "The corruption appears to be emanating from a dark force, an ancient magic that feeds on chaos and despair. It's infecting both humans and supernatural beings, spreading like a plague. As for the Lycans, they are being manipulated by this force, their instincts distorted and turned into a destructive force."Rey's brows furrowed as she processed the information. "We need to find the source of this corruption and put an end to it. We can't allow innocent lives to suffer."Rey and Lucius quickly exchanged glances, they knew
Marked by Moonlight: A Rejected Mate's Redemption CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO : HYPERION
Leina, Asher, and Luna stood outside the gates of the abandoned Blackthorn estate, their breath visible in the chilly air. They had been summoned by Lucius, who believed that exploring the estate might yield crucial information about the Lycans and their connection to the corruption.As they cautiously entered the overgrown grounds, the atmosphere seemed to thicken with an eerie stillness. Shadows danced through the decaying hallways as they made their way deeper into the estate, their footsteps echoing in the silence.Suddenly, a figure emerged from the darkness, causing the trio to tense in anticipation. It was Hyperion, the enigmatic Lycan they had encountered before. He stood before them, his piercing eyes glowing with an otherworldly intensity. Leina, ever vigilant, spoke up. "Hyperion, we meet again. What brings you here?"Hyperion's voice was low and measured. "You have stumbled upon something much greater than you can fathom. You are vital to the plan, and I have been instruct

"What just happened?", Leina asked as she looked at Luna and Asher."I think you just got yourself a new admirer", Luna replied."Nooo... that's ridiculous ", Asher replied obviously trying to hide her shyness. "Sounds about right ", Asher said as he looked at Luna. In that moment, Leina noticed the way that the two looked at each other but she decided keep quiet about it."Well what do we do about these texts?", Leina asked as she tried to gather the attention of her comrades. Leina's question hung in the air, momentarily diverting their thoughts from the subtle undercurrents between Asher and Luna. They refocused their attention on the texts laid out before them, recognizing the significance of their findings.Luna leaned closer, her eyes scanning the ancient script. "According to this text, the Blackthorn family has a deep connection to the Black Beast. It says here that they are descendants of the very creature we seek to understand."Asher's gaze narrowed, his voice tinged with

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.

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 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.

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
