Suddenly, we were surrounded by a ring of werewolves fully armed, their eyes were glowing in the dark. They had set up a powder barrier the wolvesbane, it was weakening Lyrien powers and made him weak. I recognized the uniform wore by them, it is the same those men wore that night when I was captured by my father.
Thy began shooting at our room, I was traumatized with the bullets piercing the nearly hit my bodies. Lyrien suddenly guarded me with his body, his eyes were so full of determination. he shown that he is ready to protect me even with his life on track.
Suddenly the shooting seized, we didn't heard any sign of movement again, we first thought they had left, then we suddenly heard the sound of something thrown inside, it was another powder, this one is even more potent than the first. I felt my strength waning, as my body were weakening. Lyrien tried hard to get me composed but he was also affected by the powerful potion.
Then we heard the sudden barging of the werewolves into our room, they dragged us out, I couldn't believe my eyes as I saw saw my father standing among the pack, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
We were tied by a rope filled with wolfsbane, we knelt at the middle, there were total silent, I saw the other packs gathered around, their faces filled with judgment. I knew I was in grave danger, and Lyrien was too. We were surrounded, outnumbered, and outpowered.
Lyrien's eyes with were filled with anger, but he was too weak to do anything. I knew he was trying to protect me, he was trying hard to protect me but he couldn't withstand the powerful wolf-resistant powder.
I looked upon the faces of each member of all the various pack standing, it was filled with nothing but anger and they are looking at me as a threat to them, Beacon Hill never tolerates Witch in the city, they believed it's a threat to them.
my father's strong eyes caught my attention. I knew he wasn't truly invested in this charade. He locked me up in the scary Seven Tower Gate, he hide my identity from the people,I remembered his words as he said, he want me to wait until I lost my wolf powers, promising to reveal my true identity to the world. But now, I don't think it will be possible anymore as I am expose to the entire pack.
The silence was pierced by the screech of tires, we looked in surprised as we saw three exotic cars drove in with heavy speed, the sleek of those cars designs were cutting through the night like a razor blade.
The second car in the middle , is a behemoth of black steel so gleamed with an ominous intensity, its tinted windows made it impossible to know who's inside. The security acted like a phalanx of warriors, as they came out of the flanking vehicles, their eyes scanning everyone present with a hawk's intensity they opened the door of a central car with a synchronized precision, and a towering figure emerged, his very presence caught the attention of us all. He dressed in a crimson suit that seemed to like a fire burning in the night, he came out of the car and walk like a dark phoenix. I noticed all of the pack watched with a focus attention, the way they conduct shown this unknown man might be the new master, he looked like a powerful person with an unyielding dominance.
Just then Lyrien saw Josh, his only friend standing alongside the other pack soldiers, his betrayal hurt Lyrien, as he said in weak and disappointed voice "You betrayed me," Lyrien accused him.
One of the security team brought in a chair it's looked like a royal chair, the man in the red suit sit on it with a regal grace, his eyes was focuse on Lyrien, Lyrien, still struggling against the effects of the wolfsbane,his body are totally weakened and his eyes sunken.
The suddenly start laughing his laughter consists of a cold and a mirthless sound that seemed to revel in Lyrien's misery.
"Brother, this is how you end up," he said, his voice consists of mocking."I've already searched every corner of the city, and finally, I've found you. Your unique power made it impossible for me to sniff you, but now...I won't let you leave alive".
His eyes were filled anger, "You killed our mother then, Lyrien. And now, you'll pay the price. This is the first thing I'll do as the new Alpha , I will repay you the tenfold of how you murdered her."Lyrien's voice was breaking from the effects of the wolfsbane but it was laced with defiance as he said out,
"Erin, can you please believe me now,I didn't kill our mother"Erin's face changed into anger as his eyes were full of rage.
"Howdare to address me by my name? You will address me as Lord Erin, "Then there was a total silent from everyone again.
My father broke the silence, "I'll take the witch and leave now." He said as he brought out a chainBut Erin refused, "No, you can't leave yet. The full moon is coming, and I've heard alot of things,I heard about a particular witch which killed a whole town overnight, I heard she do transforms once in a full moon, and when she does, her power always surpass Alpha power, no one can catch her when she transforms. I would love to witness it." He said.
"My apologies, I didn't mean to be rude," my father said, his voice filled with respect and defiance. "But it's been a rule that only our pack is to be dealing in any matter relating to witches. And according to our rules, we don't interfere in other packs' business."
Erin gave out a smirk, his eyes were gleaming with power. "That was then, old man. I am the new Alpha now, the supreme ruler of all packs in this city. I made the rule and you will all obey my rules." He flicked his finger, the security moved heavily to restrain me, they binded me to the tree with heavy chains. I struggled against them, but they were too strong. I was scared, to them I am a threat but deep inside, I am just a girl that want to live this life in peace and with my mate, Lyrien But can I really achieve this.?"Make yourselves comfortable, everyone," Erin said, he sit down on his throne-like chair "We'll wait for the full moon together." The atmosphere was tense,his men held my father captives. I could still feel see the sense of fear in people standing, they are afraid of what I might do, but they all want to witness if the tale is true or not. I was tied there totally exhausted, I never want all this that is happening, then suddenly the full moon was rising, and with it I could feel my powers has started growing stronger. Would I still kill everyone again?, I should have stayed back in the dark seven tower gate, maybe all this wouldn't have happened.As the full moon rose high in the sky, I felt my body begin to transform, my senses were intensifying, I could felt my strength multiplying as well. The pain I felt from been tied was nothing compared to the power coursing through my veins. The storm raged on and its fury mirroring the turmoil inside me My body began to grow tall, my limbs
The silence was so oppressive, we all felt a physical force that that keep us all on ground. I couldn't control my heart as it continue pounding heavily in my chest, the sound from their steps echoing in my mind like a drumbeat. The witches moved so closer to me, their veils rustling softly, As they reached at my side one of them raised a hand, she pointed ber finger towards me."Aria," she said, her voice felt like a sigh. "You have been chosen."I felt scared as they moved closer to me, their eyes were so fixed on me with an unnerving intensity."What.... do you want from me?" I asked, my voice were breakingThe leader from the witch grasped my arm, her grip was like an ice. "We are taking you away, Aria. The Goddess has requested for you."And with that, they carried me away,none of those sitting even my father could sense while I was dragging away. I was dragged into a darkness so complete, it was as if the very light itself had been extinguished. I was at the hand of the gh
Aria's PovI saw Lyrien's eyes, but they weren't welcoming. They were filled with rage and anger, a burning intensity that made my heart skip a beat. I tried to speak, to ask him what he was doing, but before I could even form the words, I heard the sound of a gun firing.I felt a searing pain as the bullet penetrated my chest, and I fell to the floor, my vision blurring. As I looked up, I saw the smile of an old woman, the same woman from my dreams. But this time, her smile was not benevolent. It was a mockery, a twisted grin that filled me with horror."Didn't I tell you, child?" the woman's voice echoed in my mind. "Didn't I tell you that no one would ever truly accept you? You're a witch, Aria. And witches are always alone."I tried to speak, to defend myself, but my voice was barely a whisper. The woman's laughter grew louder, a cackling sound that filled my ears and made my blood run cold.As the darkness consumed me, I saw Lyrien leaving, his back turned to me without a glance.
Lyrien eyes flashing red as he coughed out the wolvesbane's poison. Aria's face contorted in worry, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Lyrien, no! Oh, please...".Lyrien's gaze locked onto hers, his voice was weak but still reassuring. "Aria, I'm...I'm okay. Are you alright?", he still sounded worried for Aria.Aria's expression turned incredulous. "Me? You're the one who's...who's dying! How can you ask if I'm okay?"Lyrien's chuckle was faint, but it still held a hint of his usual arrogance. "Have you forgotten who I am, Aria? My power surpasses even the Alpha's. A mere wolvesbane can't affect my inner wolf."Aria's lips curled into a small smile, despite her tears. "You're still proud, even now."Lyrien's gaze softened. "Is the chain draining your energy again?"Aria nodded, with her voice which is barely above a whisper. "Your lost consciousness drained my life away more than the Seven Tower Chain ever could."With newfound determination, Lyrien tried to rise, his movements were sh
Aria's voice suddenly cut through the air, it shattered the tense silence. "Everybody should stop!" she exclaimed, her words was hanging in the air like a challenge. The room fell silent, all eyes fixed on her in awe.With a resolute gaze, Aria continued, "There shouldn't be a war because of me. I'm willing to surrender myself." The statement sent shockwaves through the assembly.Lord Edgard, her father, stepped forward, his face was etched with concern. "Aria, what are you doing? This is madness!"Lyrien, his eyes was blazing with fury, he unsheathed his claws. "No one takes her without going through me first!" he growled, his voice low and menacing.Despite the chains which were binding her, Aria stood tall, her eyes still locked on Lyrien. Tears streamed down on her face as she spoke, her voice were trembling. "I'm sorry, Lyrien. I never meant to be a burden to you. I'm been greedy because I've never felt love like this before. In death, I'll never forget our love."Lyrien's expre
As they sped towards the burstling city of Beachon, Lyrien's face were contorted in pain. He coughed out in pain, and Aria's eyes suddenly widened in horror as he lifted his hand up, revealing a crimson stain spreading across his shirt."Blood!" Aria screamed out, with her voice piercing the night air. " Oh my god, Lyrien, when did you get shot? Why didn't you tell me?"Lyrien's eyes clenched , his face was pale. "I...I didn't want to worry you," he gasped.Aria's gaze locked onto the driver at the front. "Faster! Please, you have to hurry! He's been shot, we need to get him to a hospital, now!"The driver's eyes flicked to the rearview mirror, his expression grim. "Hold on there my Alpha, I'll get you there as fast as I can."Aria's voice rose to a frantic pitch. "Faster! Please, don't do this to me! please Lyrien, stay with me, please!"Lyrien's eyes fluttered, his voice barely audible. "Aria...I'm sorry..."Aria's screams fill in the car, her world was unraveling as she begged the
The darkness suddenly closed in around Lyrien again, it was ike a suffocating shroud. He stumbled as his world spinning out of control. When his vision became cleared, he found himself in a twisted and nightmarish realm. The air were reeked of decay and death. there was a twisted, ancient trees which loomed above, with their branches like a skeletal fingers wreaching for the sky.Suddenly, an old woman emerged from the shadows, her gnarled stick thumping against the ground. Lyrien tried to speak but couldn't, as his voice was caught in his throat. The woman's eyes glowed with an otherworldly light as she turned to face him."Witch!" Lyrien spat, his heart was racing.He unsheathed his claws suddenly, ready to defend himself. But the old woman merely laughed, her voice was like a rusty gate. "The Moonwhisper," she croaked, her eyes were glinting with malevolence.Lyrien called out the name the woman called him "Moonwhisper."'' Who are you and why did you refer me as that?'' He deman
The man suddenly slammed on the brakes, and Aria's heart skipped a beat. "We have to leave, now!" he urged, his eyes were scanning the surrounding area.The two hastily carried Lyrien out of the car and into the nearby forest, the trees are looming above them like sentinels. The man moved so swiftly, his knowledge of the terrain was evident as he navigated at the dense underbrush.Not long after, they reached a small clearing, and in the center of it stood a cozy cottage, smoke was drifting lazily from the chimney. The man pushed the door open, and they entered, Lyrien's limp form carried between them.The man placed Lyrien on a bed inside the small room, his movements were gentle despite the urgency of the situation. Aria looked around them, she was taking in the simple furnishings and the warm fire crackling in the hearth.Just then, a little girl appeared to them in the doorway, her eyes were fixed on Aria. She was so young, no more than ten years old in age, but her hair was strea
