************************Zane's POV "Adrian you can't hide from me forever, come out now and who knows I might just decide to be nicer to you this time around" I said out loud My minions and I had been searching and looking for him for a while now, but he was nowhere to be found. I could sense his presence was still around, but I could still tell Adrian was around here. As I continued to extend my magic through the shadows surrounding the fortress, I felt a sudden disturbance coming like a wave, and it caught my attention.I sensed a presence, something unfamiliar; it felt strong and distinctly opposite to the dark energy I wielded. At first,t I dismissed it,t thinking I might it might be the result of his overextended power. But the presence grows stronger, closer and more irritating, like a beacon of light trying to pierce through the heavy blanket of my dark magic.I paused, my thoughts shifting from Adrian to the new presence. As we focused on it, a realisation hit me: this is
*************************Zane's POV I continued to search for Adrian vehemently, not minding the presence of light.t I was feelin. Myy mind grew restless as Adrian's escape had jeopardised my entire pla.n I used my dark magic to track Adrian's energy trail,l and he seemed to be slipping away from my fingers, Moving unpredictably. Zane's frustration mounted as my fortress became a maze of shadow, and elusive traces continued to haunt Adrian. The unsettling presence of the light magic gnawed at me. The se station was becoming more stronger, more pronounced and impossible to ignore.What was once a faint glimmer was now becoming am irritating light. I decided to tighten my grip on the fortress, sending in more darkness. My dark magic was swelling in response to this foreign power that dares to approach. My thoughtsweret consumed by the sensation of light magic. I hadn't sensed such a force since the days I destroyed the last of the light-wielding lineage, the ones with the healing po
*************************Zane's POV I watched from my fortress as my minions spread out in search of Lena.an I was carefully checking and overseeing everywhere around the fortress that my dark magic covered.d I searched to see if I could spot the exact location of Lenaa Adrian and whoever she was withered. Despite my growing obsession, I knew patience was the only key. If I rushed into action, I might end up losing Lena's power or, worse,e allowing her to escape. I pondered over how best I could approach the coming battle. e I calculated every possible outcome. I shifted my strategy to ensure that I had prepared enough for anything that might want to take me unawares with Lena’s light magic and Adrian's eventual capture. Though I had sensed that her powers had not gotten to the stage where she could challenge me,e If there was one thing I had come to understand, it was never to underestimate anyone,e just as I have come to understand the hard way with Adrian. Despite my confiden
***********************Adrian's POV I stood at the entrance where the hole in the walls was, and the light was pouring through. I debated with myself whether it was truly a way I could go out of just some cheap tricks made by Zane. My heartbeat quickened as Zane's voice echoed louder, making me second-guess my decision. I reflected on how far I had come. I realised that I could not afford to hesitate anymore, especially knowing that Zane might be onto me. Despite the uncertainty I felt I tried to convince myself that the only way forward was through the light. But I still couldn't help the thought that this could also be a bad choice and a trap by Zane As I stepped into the I was momentarily blinded by the intensity. The shift from the dark corridors of the fortress to the brightness made me unsettled. My senses were on high alert, expecting an attack at any moment. I found myself in a vast chamber with high ceilings unlike anything, and for a brief moment, I dared to hope that th
*********************Adrian's POV I began to wonder how I was going to find Lena here in this tunnel. I was worried about Lena now. She was somewhere around there.e I didn't know where she was the thought that Lena might be in danger was killing me. I had a new resolve,e and it was to find Lena and make sure she was safe.I continued to move around, trying to find my w. ay, I was greatly controlling the urge to shout out her name just so I could probably get her location. I felt like maybe if she heard my voice, she might come in my direction.Just as I was going, I came across another minion; this time around, this minion was quite different from me. The last two he Was a vampire. Vampires are our sworn enemies right from the days of our ancestors, so apart from the dark magic controlling him m, he would definitely be someone who would want me dead.I could feel the tension in the air as he strolled closer I was surprised he wasn't using his vamp speed. Darkness oozed from his eyes
***************************Adrian's POV I tried removing my hands, but he held on tight his grip was strong. He twisted my hands. I groaned in pain. I could hear my bones crack and the sound of my muscles tearing. He used his other hand to give me a hard blow on my belle. It sent me flying over and falling to the ground. He rushed at me on the ground with his vamp speed, hitting me on the ground and brushing me against the wall of the tunnel. I could sense my soul almost slipping away from my body I felt like I was going to die but my mind flashed back to LenaImmediately I felt a sudden wave of strength flow through me it was like the thought of Lena had just sparked new strength within me as I was being dragged around the walls of the tunnel in a circle I managed to bring out my claws using then them to forcefully hit the vampire making sure my claws passed through his skin.The pain he felt made him throw me down forcefully. But he was a vampire. They heal faster than werewolves
****************************Lena's POV I and Ethan carefully moved through the darkness, sticking to the shadows to avoid detection. The tension became more heightened as we began to hear the sound of footsteps and the constant growling of Zaes minions. My heart pounded, and I tried to keep myself composed, knowing Adrian was somewhere nearby. There was a serious debate in my mind. I was wondering if I could use my magic to cloak my presence, but I feared I might alert Zane if I couldn't get it right. I knew that every step we took brought us closer to the danger we would eventually have to face. I still had a deep contemplation of the matter, wondering if there was a way I could avoid Zane and not fight him. The whole fortress seemed to be fortified with his dark magic. I could feel the weight of its presence weighing strongly on me.As we continued deeper into the fortress, we began to see more groups of Zane's minions. Now it was really obvious that Zane had already felt my pre
*********************Lena's POV As we navigated our way through the forest, trying to locate where I had seen Adrian while I was scanning the maze with my powers, the fortress became serious and dead quiet. It was a dangerous sign that we were entering a heavily guarded area, but I was slightly confused. I didn't see this place where I was scanning. Getting closer, I got to understand that it was because the dark magic covering this particular area was a very thick and strong one that my light couldn't penetrate through, probably because I didn't tap into the right amount of light magic. I just felt like I didn't need much of it to scan through it's why I didn't tap into much light. But I then understood that I was supposed to tap into as much as I could. We were fixed to confront a smaller group of minions in a very brief but intense fight.Ethan was the one who handled most of the combat combining his wolf strength with his skills of handling a weapon. I used my magical powers t
