*******************Zane's POV 'Something is wrong, something Is not right' I said to myself I was beginning to feel a disturbance in the room, a shift in the energy. It felt like a hole in the darkness. I didn't know in time that it was Adrian manipulating the weak point in the wall. "How did I miss this?" I said, looking at the hole Adrian had squeezed through. I was so confident in the strength of my dark magic that I didn't know when Adrian was plotting. Though I sensed his defeat, once I sensed his unyielding spirit, i,t but I didn't sense this. "The little wolf outplayed me" My mind was flickering between overconfidence and paranoia; I was certain that Adrian was powerless,s ye,t and I was growing uneasy with his si. lence I didn't know he was plotting behind my back.My patience was wearing thin as I noticed that Adrian was still refusing to engage with my taunts, my calm facade slightly cracke,d and my frustration intensified. I was there pacing the room hurling more an
*************************Zane's POV "I must find you, little wolf I must" I murmured The thought of letting go of this power wasn't sitting well with me I needed Adrian oh no not really I needed his power if not for his power I would have destroyed him long ago I could destroy him with just a flip of my fingers and boom he's gone'Or should I just destroy him' If I wanted to kill him I could kill him right now before he ever finds a way out of this cave. But even if I wanted to kill him, I needed to be sure about his exact location before I could do that. Right now, I don't know about his whereabouts. My minions haven't brought any news of even mere sighting him. If any of them could just come to me and say they had found him, I could use my dark magic to trace where he was and kill him right at the spot.Sending a psyche message would be better; when I was turning my minions into my dark followers, I made it so that I was connected to them and them to me so I could easily dispa
*************************Ethan's POV I watched Lena carefully with pride, seeing how she was pushing herself to master her powers. I reflected on how far he had come since we first met again During the attack on Adrian's pack and her rescue mission. I was impressed by how she continued steadfastly paying attention to every instruction given to her by Lyla.Even when she seemed to have a lot of doubts about herself, I believed do much in her potentials I was rooting for her silently from across the ground where she trained. I had a very strong sense of responsibility to help her succeed and I was going to do just that. I would stand by her; at every step of the way, I promised myself to be there with her, holding her hands and reassuring her that she could do this., Yes, I never ceased to encourage her, but in war, the day I was grappling with my impatience. I knew we were running out of time, and every moment we spent training could be precious. Did I let this feelings show?Not,
*******************Ethan's POV I observed as Lena completed her final set of transformation training. I marvelled at how far she had come since we started training; I thought back to her initial struggles and doubts about herself. My heart swelled with pride, knowing that Lena had not only grown in power but also grew in confidence. I reflected on my role in her journey and how much it had impacted me as well. Despite the pride I felt. I couldn't shake the growing sense of urgency I was feeling. Time seemed to be running out faster than ever. I could sense that Adrian's situation was getting more critical with every single passing day. I knew we needed to act sooner. I couldn't help but wonder that if it was different circumstances or different times, Adrian and I could have been good friends and comrades. He looked like someone I would love to be friends with. Come to think of it, I didn't even have an alpha friend. The only alpha I know that's not me is Sophia, my sister. I hop
************************Ethan's POV "Does this mean this is where he is?" I asked "Lyla said Yes" Lena replied "Does this mean that nothing can go wrong in this spell, is there a possibility that it might be a wrong destination?" I asked Deep down, something in Me was hoping that it was the wrong location because finding Adrian would only mean that my chances of getting Lena back would be very slim, so I was really hoping that it was the wrong location. "Lyla said nothing can go wrong with a locator spell that was cast with the blood of the person to be found or a relative blood," Lena said Disappointment flusheded through my bo,dy, but I couldn't afford to make it obvious that I was disappointed. I knew I couldn't afford to get emotional right now; I couldn't afford to let my disappointment weigh me down. "We can't just go like that. We need to plan, prepare and strategise,z,e," I said, I'm trying to shift my thoughts and mind in another direction. I was hit by the emotional
**************************Lena's POVThe further we travelled into the forest, the more the atmosphere appeared to shift. Despite the time of year, a chilly, sharp breeze snuck in. It seemed like the forest was aware of our destination and goals. Each tree and shadow appeared to surround us, murmuring about hidden dangers nearby. The heaviness of our mission burdened me as I continued walking, yet I refused to succumb to fear.I looked at Ethan, who was walking next to me with a determined silence. His hand sometimes moved towards the sword hilt on his belt, indicating his instincts were becoming more acute. I could feel his stress, his instinct to protect in full force. I was curious if he had doubts about our choice to depart early. We had spent days preparing, but did we adequately prepare? There was no going back at this point. Adrian was waiting for us out there, and every minute we postponed gave Zane more opportunity to strengthen his hold.The idea of Adrian being confined b
***********************Lena’s PoVAs we began to get close to Zane's fortress, the landscape began to change extremely. The trees were gradually thinned out. It was as if the deeper into the woods we got, the thinner the trees appeared, revealing unevenly cut twisted rocks that seemed to have been damaged by dark magic. I knew instantly that we were getting closer to this ominous darkness.The air became very heavy and suffocating. It was getting really hard to breathe. Each breath we took felt more. It was as if the magic itself was trying to choke us. My heart began to beat a lot faster than usual. My heightened senses told me that we were dangerously close to our goal.But I couldn't shake the feeling that we might also be entering into our doom and our end. As we continued onward, I noticed how the darkness that was around us had taken a new turn. It was like the quality had been enhanced or fortified,d or maybe more darkness had been added to it.It wasn't just lacking light, no
***************************Lena's POV "A witch's haunch?" I asked surprisingly "Yes, Lena, a witch's hunch", she repeated."What's Lena saying," Ethan asked "She says you might be right," I said "Really if that's the case then let us start moving there not enough time to waste Lena" he said "Okay let's go get Adrian "I felt a surge of fear and dread as we got closer to the Fortress; I was thinking about what Ethan and Lyla had said about Adrian's possible escape from Zane's hold. I was silently praying to the Moon goddess to make sure he wasn't caught again. The Fortress seemed to breathe in dark magic and breathe our dark magic as well and my stomach tumbled at the intensity of it. I could sense Zane's power at its peak here, here, but I could also sense something off about it. Its powers seemed to flicker at some point. I wondered if it was really because Adrian had escaped. Ethan was walking protectively in front of Me. The sight of him made me want to laugh, but I couldn'
