CARLISLEAs I watch Elijah kick Dory, a surge of anger and protectiveness floods through me. Without thinking, I step in to shield her from his attack. I throw a powerful punch at Elijah, but he's stronger. He grabs my wrists and throws me to the floor, sending me flying across the room. As I lie on the ground, I feel a strange tingling sensation, a warmth spreading through my body.Is it because of that magic that was put on me? No, it does not seem like it. The energy that pulsates through my veins makes me sweat. It's like a wave of fire that courses through me, traveling from one vein branch to the next. The sensation grows stronger, overwhelming me. I feel as if I'm being consumed by a force beyond my control. My vision blurs, and I collapse to the ground, my consciousness fading.It is all black for a moment until the darkness fades and a ray of light pierces through the dark screen. The light grows and grows until it has enveloped the space around me. For a moment, my body is
VERENA"I had a strange dream," Carlisle begins, his voice hesitant. "I was in a fiery world, riding a chariot made of flames."Dory's eyes widen in concern as she listens to Carlisle's words. I can't help but notice the way her gaze lingers on him, filled with a mixture of worry and hope. He also seems to stare at her but avert his gaze quickly. What’s going on? "I felt a power within me, a force that I didn't know existed," Carlisle continues, his voice trembling slightly. "I was fighting shadows, destroying them with a fiery weapon."“A fiery weapon?” Irene asks and he nods. “Yeah, it was made out of fire. I was holding it but strangely my hand did not burn.” Carlisle responds. Joshua scoffs while his hands are shoved in his pant pockets. “That’s because it's a damn dream.” “Dreams can feel real,” Dory retorts, “Sometimes they work as signs to guide us.” She adds and Ruth nods. I wonder what the dream means, what it signifies. Is it a premonition, a glimpse into the future? Or
VERENA“What the hell is a solar wolf now? How many types of wolf are there?” Joshua asks, looking frustrated with the new found information about Carlisle. Celine's eyes sparkle with excitement as she explains the intricate tapestry of the werewolf world. "There is a vast ecosystem of powerful wolves, each with their own unique abilities," she says. "Those blessed by the Moon Goddess are known as Celestial wolves."Ruth hums, “We know that. But I didn’t know that celestial wolves can go beyond healers and guardians. Carlisle never showed the signs of a celestial wolf. Though…” she looks down at the floor as if contemplating something. “I did lose my healing powers when he was born. Does that mean something?” Celine frowns. “I can’t tell why that happened. It's strange for a healer to lose their abilities after another celestial wolf is born. Solar wolves usually don’t take away the ability of other wolves.” She mutters and I feel like she’s hiding something. Why does it seem like C
VERENAThe revelation that Celine is the Moon Goddess hits me like a bolt of lightning. I stand there, stunned and speechless, my mind reeling from the shock. How could someone so ordinary, so human, be a celestial being?I look at Celine, my eyes filled with a mixture of awe and confusion. "Are you really the Moon Goddess?" I ask, my voice barely a whisper.Celine nods, her expression solemn. "I was," she replies, her voice filled with a hint of sadness. "But I was banished from the heavens.""Banished?" I echo, my mind racing. "How could that be?"Celine sighs. "Umbra played his cards right," she explains. "He managed to sow seeds of doubt among the other gods, convincing them that I had betrayed my duties.""What did he say?" I ask, my curiosity piqued."He accused me of conspiring with the forces of darkness, of using my powers for evil," Celine replies. "They believed him, and I was stripped of my divine powers. I was banished from the heavens, forced to live among mortals."“Wai
VERENACeline's words send a shiver down my spine. "Your bond with Elijah is highly divine," she says, her voice filled with awe. "Even if I were to mate you with others, you would find your way back to each other."A wave of relief washes over me. Despite the challenges we face, our love is strong, unbreakable. It's a bond that transcends time and space, a connection forged in the stars. I have always felt that, maybe that’s why I couldn’t let go of him even when we were separated. But even as joy fills my heart, a pang of sadness creeps in. We're still separated, torn apart by the forces of darkness. Elijah has become the leader of the Shadow Wolves, a ruthless and dangerous faction. He would never allow me to be with him, not as long as I stand against his dark agenda.And I can’t be with him as I need to protect my people and our kids. I think back to the time we spent together in the prison. I can still feel the pain of his attacks, the bruises and cuts that marred my body. But
VERENAMy heart pounds in my chest as I approach the safe, my fingers trembling slightly. Inside, nestled on a bed of velvet, is the Goddess Gem, a relic of ancient power that holds the key to our survival. Celine or Selene the Goddess said that her powers are stored in this gem. I wonder what this gem’s history is. Joshua and Irene stand beside me, their faces etched with a mixture of hope and fear. Irene bites her nails as she watches the gem keenly. They know as well as I do that the fate of the werewolves rests on this small, unassuming stone.I reach into the safe, my fingers gently brushing against the cool surface of the gem. With a deep breath, I pull it out, holding it in the palm of my hand. The gem is like a red sphere, pulsating with an ethereal light whenever I hold it in my palm."This is it," I say, my voice barely a whisper. "This is what will lead us to the other Celestial wolves."Irene raises an eyebrow. "How exactly are we going to use this to track down wolves s
VERENAI get up to place the gem back into the safe. Now that its work is done, I hope we’ll get to the other guardian celestial wolves sooner. As I reach for the safe, a wave of dizziness washes over me. My head spins, and my vision blurs. A sharp pain lanced through my spine, intensifying with each passing second. I clutch at my chest, gasping for air.Joshua and Irene rush to my side, their faces etched with concern. "Rena, are you okay?" Irene asks, her voice filled with worry.I try to respond, but the pain is too intense. My vision darkens, and I collapse to the ground, unconscious.In the depths of my mind, I find myself in a strange, unfamiliar place. It's a realm of darkness, a void where light cannot penetrate. The air is thick and heavy, filled with a suffocating sense of emptiness.My feet are submerged in a black, tar-like substance, my movements hindered by its viscous grip. I look around, my eyes wide with fear. The place is barren, devoid of any signs of life.And then
VERENA"The Luna Guardian is the leader of the celestial wolves. Just like Elijah is the Alpha Shadow, leader of the shadow wolves," Celine replies. "It's a powerful position, one that requires great strength and courage."My heart races. I've never heard of the Luna Guardian before."I don't understand," I say. "I'm just a celestial wolf. How can I be the Luna Guardian?""Because you are special, Rena," Celine replies. "You have a unique connection to Elijah, a bond that is stronger than any other. And now, that bond has been reinforced."I frown. "What do you mean?" I ask."The vision was meant to reconnect you to Elijah," Celine replies. "When Elijah was consumed by darkness, your bond with him was weakened. But now, you are connected again, stronger than ever before."My eyes fill with tears. I'm so grateful to be connected to Elijah again."And because of this connection," Celine continues, "your true powers have come to the surface."My heart skips a beat. "What true powers?" I a
