A light burst out from Diana’s chest. It blinded both parties even Diana itself but only the latter could feel the surging warm current of her magic coursing through her veins—as if the Moon Goddess answered her desperate plea.The array of formations in the Werewolf Committee’s most guarded area shattered.The wolves of the Alliance felt the breath as the boundary that obstructed their sharp sense of direction disappeared along with the harsh howl of the wind.Dylan’s howl awakened the dazed wolves of the Alliance.All wolves of different colors, sizes, and ranks rushed forward. Charging with their last bit of strength after days of exhaustion, their drive to win the battle did not diminish—not even the slightest.Diana, who staggered after the desperate attempt and after barely keeping her life, found herself in the embrace of the powerful yet warm arms of Dylan. Looking up, the corners of her lips bent.&ldqu
The Alliance werewolves resumed the array of echelons as they prodded deeper into the Werewolf Committee’s Territory. Carcasses of Skinwalkers were left on their trail as the attack never seized the moment the flock of northern monsters started to attack their group. But the absence of a strategic and sane leader affected the mindless abomination since Merlin retreated the moment it caught the image of Talia as if it recognized the intent of the latter– something akin to a deep-rooted obsession that would only be sated when she got his head.Magic versus magic. Spell against spell. Arrays clashed arrays.Talia pulled Merlin into her domain which she had created specially for him. Before closing the domain’s portal amid the war, she made sure to cast a spell onto Diana lest Dylan would come to hack her if something happened to the former. While Talia was busy battling against the wretched Merlin, the final battle—which would later be known in the Anals of History as the Battle of the
Carcasses littered the bleak meadow. The shining calm light from the northern sun revealed the horrors that the captured werewolves experienced with the flock of Skinwalkers and the Werewolf Committee. The corpses were not fully intact as if they were torn alive. Guts spilled on the red-dyed snow. Flies and crows flocked around the rotten flesh as they had their feast.‘The Werewolf Committee is too much! How could they do this to their own race,’ said the beta of the Crimson Moon Pack at the back of Diana’s mind through mind link.Diana’s wolf grunted, an act of affirmation from her wolf, from what the beta stated through the temporary connection.‘This is a solid proof why the Werewolf Committee should be reformed inside out.’ Diana thought. She reckoned that if the Alliance would lose, a bloodier scene would occur. Though it was not as bloody as this one, the image of that sad future overlapped with the scene in front of her.Looking beyond dead, Diana stared at the death image in
“Oh, you’re one of the subsidiary alphas from the other continents,” Diana mumbled to herself before she withdrew the giant sword from the withering man who was now slumped on the murky ground.‘What are you waiting for? Finish them and get done with this dragging war,’ Diana’s wolf admonished her as it paced listlessly at the back of their connection. Her wolf was agitated—both from the pregnancy and from the fact that Dylan was not with them.Diana sidestepped to give way to the werewolves of the Alliance who surrounded and bombarded questions onto the staggering werewolf. In her peripheral vision, as she remained on guard while the others were gathering information from the surviving enemy, Diana could tell the horrors that the subsidiary alpha overcame just to stay alive. Wounds littered his body and his cheeks and fingers were frostbitten due to the heavy blizzard and his black hair was disheveled.‘How horrible for Dylan to leave them in this state. With these alphas' pride, the
Diana and Alpha Alexander were the last ones to go down as the Crimson Moon Pack’s alpha made sure that nothing was left unscathed in tower while Diana remained on the lookout for any incoming danger—like hidden trap arrays. Though they were both wolves with high-ranking bloodlines, Diana was way above the chart than Alpha Alexander since she held dominion over the nature.Without food or water, the party proceeded to make haste of the time. They had a feeling that if the darkness came again, it would be hard for them to win without adding more casualties.“Let us go, Luna Diana.” Alpha Alexander made way for Diana. They were the last ones to go down so Alpha Alexander planned to carry her as he would jump down onto the surface which was a few meters away from the balcony they were standing on—considering that she was sporting a big belly.A knot lodged in between Diana’s well-carved eyebrows before she walked past him. Her shoulders were stiff when she answered with equally stiff wor
Alpha Alexander frowned while staring at her, his sharp eyes were reading her, but his beta—who was flustered to save his comrades—quickly nodded his head. The latter almost grasped her shoulders. “Let’s do choice two! What will be the – o-ouch!”The Crimson Moon Pack’s beta briskly stopped when Alpha Alexander clamped the flustered beta’s arm rather painfully; cutting the latter’s words in the process. He was about to protest when he was welcomed with his alpha’s warning gaze. He was stumped and slowly realized how he almost brushed with death. Cold sweat immediately gathered on his forehead.“Do you want the Blood Alpha to clean you up?” Alpha Alexander asked.His beta immediately shook his head in a frenzy. What a joke! He was flustered because he wanted to survive and find himself a mate after this war; why would he provoke that sinister alpha who was more lunatic than his alpha? Thank goodness that Alpha Alexander was able to save him on time!Diana cleared her throat for the nth
After destroying the illusion array, a thunderous noise of stones and iron being forced open resonated. Crows screeched as the centuries-old tower wall was revealed foot by foot followed by the unopened gate being moved. The enormous chains grunted like a roaring giant in the dead of midnight. Piles of dead branches from the mountain-high wall that the werewolves right below had to move a meter away from the opening part of the wall.The Crimson Moon Pack’s beta, who saw his alpha still looking at the pregnant luna of the Blood Claws Pack, pulled the alpha’s arms forcibly so that they ended up stumbling upon the frosty forest floor. With the way the alpha shifted his solemn eyes at him, the beta knew that he was in deep trouble—but the plan would be nothing without their alpha’s lead. For the Crimson Moon Pack’s beta, they could unite with Alpha Soleyah’s team and then rescue the luna.Little did the beta know that Alpha Alexander was solemn because he was worried about implicating hi
‘Something is definitely up with Alpha Alexander. He is acting weird ever since going out from the wall. Is the adjustment too much for him?’ Diana could not help but ponder in which her wolf answered with a scoffing sound.“What?” she yelled back. Diana tilted her head. She was thinking things while her body moved on its own accord. Leaping from one Skinwalker to another, Diana did not give the enemy any chance for respite.The two of them met when Alpha Alexander leaped at the same body of the Skinwalker that Diana was standing on. “You got my back, right?”Before Diana could answer him, Diana had to jump from the Skinwalker’s still body and throw her blade towards a Skinwalker who was about to attack the Skinwalker that was busy crawling its way to the opened wall while casting a safety spell to her body to ensure the baby’s safety amid the chaos.‘Kuchak!’The sound of the Skinwalker being pinned onto the slow-moving gates of the tower startled the werewolves who still remained at
