The dungeon was as cold as it was meant to be. Cold and deathly. The smell of acrid blood filled the premises.

A single flickering torch danced manically, casting ugly shadows that writhed across the uneven floor.

Curled on the damp flagstones, Ria looked like a lost child. She looked pale and weak.

She sat helplessly on the floor before Alpha Randall with her head bowed.

The dungeon was huge. It was the Blood Crescent pack dungeon. No one ever prayed to find themselves there. It also had a small section for torture. That's where Ria found herself.

The Alpha sat on his semi-throne as his gaze narrowed down on her.

Kellan stood beside the Alpha like a statue. Guilt gnawed at him, while shame clouded his sight. He felt utterly ashamed of himself that the woman he loved was in such a situation and he couldn't even put in a good word to save her.

Enforcers surrounded her with long silver whips that gleamed wickedly in the flickering light.

The whips had signs of torn flesh and fresh blood

    Alpha Randall barged into Reyana's chamber, the wooden door slamming shut with a bang behind him. Fury pulsed through his veins at the way she has spoken to him. He came to confront her about it.He was the Alpha, the leader of the Blood Crescent pack, and to be questioned in such a manner, especially by a woman, was an insult that demanded a reckoning.Just as he stepped in, the sight that greeted him stole the breath from his lungs, a certain wave of calmness washed over him and he felt a little bit of remorse for the first time in a long time.She was curled in her bed, her unbound hair spilled across her shoulders. She was crying uncontrollably. Her sobs were muffled by the thick furs covering the bed.A wave of unexpected remorse washed over Randall, momentarily extinguishing the flames of his anger. He hadn't meant to hurt her. He knew he'd broken his promise, at least in her eyes.True, the interrogation of Ria had been brutal, perhaps more so than necessary. But that was the w

    Keir staggered back, still looking at her confused.Everyone in the room was both relieved and shocked at the turn of events. They never expected him to have let her go that easily. It was a big relief as they thought he was going to kill his mate.The big black wolf stormed out of the chamber, running faster than the speed of light, knocking down everything in his way as he made his way deep into the woods."What happened?" Klara stammered, her voice barely a whisper. She reached out a tentative hand, gently brushing a stray strand of hair from Reyana's tear-stained cheek.Kellan and Aldric ran after Keir. They feared he might do something stupid to himself. Whatever Reyana did to get him to this point definitely wasn't good.Reyana could only manage a choked sob, her voice thick with emotion. "I don't know, Klara..." she stammered, clinging to Klara's hand like a lifeline. "I... I just..." The words wouldn't come,Klara wrapped her arms around Reyana, offering the comfort and solace

    The oppressive cloak of night clung to the ancient woods, amplifying the rustle of leaves and the hooting of owls.Kier, stained with mud and exhaustion, finally came to a halt at a familiar clearing bathed in an eerie, moonlit glow. A wave of nausea washed over him at the haunting memories this place held."Could the night possibly become any worse?" he rasped, barely containing the growl that left his throat.With a shudder that racked his entire body, Kier shifted. Human skin stretched taut over his muscles, his broad chest heaving with ragged breaths.Alpha Randall, his midnight black hair plastered to his forehead with sweat, felt his heart hammering against his ribs.He'd been running for what felt like an eternity, the taste of metallic fear clinging to his throat.Escape from the world that crumbled behind him led him right back to another world he desperately tried to bury.His gaze dropped to the cliff below the hill where he stood.Images flooded his mind, vivid and horrify

    Randall sat lost in his own thoughts, alone in his chamber, as Reagan's words replayed repeatedly in his head.'you have to guard your pack and everything you love, Randall. Rashka is alive. He will come for you and everything you care about.'Those words hunted him. He clutched the arms of his ornately carved oak chair, his deep green eyes mirroring dawning terror.Randall shot up from his chair and began pacing the confines of the chamber like a caged wolf. His potion lay untouched on his study table. Now wasn't the time to sleep. It was a crucial time.'he might have already returned. Perhaps, he killed your warriors... Just a wild guess,' Reagan's words kept coming up.Alpha Randall found it hard to believe. He had made sure to stick the stake right through Rashka's heart. There was no way he was alive.He slammed his fist on his table in frustration. Goblets and scrolls flew scattering across the floor, the resounding crash echoing in the tense silence.He was visibly trembling.

    "We've all been summoned so urgently because we have some crucial matters at hand." Alpha Randall began, "What we feared most is already upon us."There was silence in the courtroom. The council members exchanged curious glances."We're under attack," Alpha Randall announced.Surprise flashed across their faces."Who dared to attack the Blood Crescent pack?" Anol, one of the council members asked."Do they have a death wish?" Ryker, a hot-blooded man asked, seething with rage.Alpha Randall was silent. Announcing the actual source of the attack felt heavy on his lips. How does he tell them that the evil they feared - the evil they thought he defeated - was alive and back to take everyone down?Even though the rest of the pack members knew nothing about the prophecy, they knew Rashka was a dark evil who shouldn't be amongst their kind.The hall erupted in angry murmurs amongst the council members.Just as Randall was about to break the shameful news, Aldric hurried into the hall.

    "What are you doing here?" Reyana panicked, "What do you want?" She sat up immediately."There is nothing to panic about," a small chuckle left his throat, "I was passing by and heard some noise coming from your chamber. I thought you were in danger." Reagan added.Reyana regarded him suspiciously."I mean no harm," he added.She was silent."I'll take my leave now. Sorry for coming in uninvited," a small smile tugged the corner of his lips as he made to leave."What were you doing snooping around at this odd hour?" She finally broke the silence, making him stop walking, "Are you a spy?"Reagan slowly turned around to face her. "A spy doesn't risk being caught, Luna. If I were a spy, you think I would have come in here to make sure you were fine?" He lifted his brows, staring at her in amusement."So? Why aren't you sleeping?" She asked, a bit more at ease."Not when there is so much going on around. I couldn't help but worry." He shrugged.She cast a quizzical gaze at him, "A lot goi

    400 YEARS AGOGloom hung heavily over the entire North. Their world was trying to get over the chaos that was caused by the power-hungry Codegan, who had taken the four necro keys and harnessed their powers.He sought to lord over every creature in their world - wolves, witches, and the peace-loving fairies, who were the sustainers of life and nature.The combination of these keys gave him so much power that corrupted his already corrupt mind.Codegen became the terror that they all feared. As a result of this, everyone came together to put an end to his reign. This came at a very expensive cost.A great sacrifice had to be made which was meant to wipe off the entire existence of all fairies.

They had to sacrifice their existence for their world to have peace.The sacrifice was carried out and Codegen was defeated during a heated war that involved the witches and werewolves. Together, they killed him an

    "What do you mean, Shota?" Randall asked, his quizzical gaze narrowing down on her."A lot happened 400 years ago, Alpha Randall, just before the prophecy was given by the Moon Goddess. This prophesy was meant to warn us against a great evil that would befall our kind." Shota's demeanor changed, for the first time since Randall knew her. Her eyes shone with rage."What do you mean?" He inquired."Your forefathers thought they could change destiny?" A wry smile crossed her lips. "Unfortunately, fate can never be tricked.""You keep speaking in riddles," Randall said, running his palms over his face in frustration."Power was one thing your forefathers had. But intuition was a major element they lacked. The same blood flows through your veins, after all."Randall glared at her with fury. He was becoming impatient with her and he didn't know how long he'd go on with it.Shota had always spoken in riddles, being of almost no help to the pack in desperate times like this."You better hurry

    "Reyana. Please. Don't go. You can go another time. Please," Randall had to bring down his ego and plead. He couldn't afford to lose her. He felt like if she ever left with Novak, he'd lose her forever.Seeing the look on Randall's face touched a part of her heart she never knew was still alive. Reyana thought all that was left in her heart for Randall was pure hate. But now she was wrong."I want to spend some time with my family. At least, you owe me that," Reyana said calmly."You will. But not just yet. I need you around, Reyana. The pack needs you. Please, don't go." Randall pleaded.She was conflicted. Randall was speaking to her heart."Novak. I'd send her over in a few days. But for now, I really do need her around," he said in a calmer tone, surprising everyone around, including Novak."Maya won't be happy with this. Besides, you brought us to this point. I've tried to see her for days, but you prevented it." Alpha Novak protested, but his anger was subsiding."You wouldn't b

    Reyana drawled, her voice echoing in the confined space. "The Alpha's most precious jewel, reduced to this."'Visha quickly sat up; her eyes, which were once filled with arrogance and malice, went wide with shock. "Reyana? How?" She had expected that since Aldric hadn't had the audacity to kill her, then the master would have laid hands on her and killed her already."Funny question, I must say, Visha."Visha's lips curved into a bitter smile. "You look well, Reyana. Almost radiant."Reyana laughed, "Thank you. Being a prisoner of my mate has its perks." She said, her eyes slowly raking over the pathetic state of the woman who had made her life a living hell.Visha's face contorted into a mask of rage. "You dare mock me?""Why not? What would you do? Run to the Alpha and cry to him?" Reyana scoffed, "Only this time, the Alpha is slightly out of your reach.""What do you want? I had my peace before you showed up," Visha said, looking away in shame."Is there any peace for the wicked? R

    "Alpha Randall isn't entirely to blame here," Reyana began, stepping forward to stand before everyone, "He never knew I was the fourth Necro key. He was blind and foolish. Selfish and ignorant. I also never knew what I was until it was already too late." She paused, letting it sink in before she continued."You relaxed, thinking everything was fine when you were meant to find a solution before the problem became such a concern." She added with a scoff. "I guess it's too late for you all now. Rashka can't be stopped anymore. He's gotten what he wants, and now he is coming for all those who betrayed him," she said and turned to look at Randall.Randall wondered what Rashka had told Reyana. She seemed to know so much but let out a little."What do we do to stop him now? He is a monster that needs to be stopped. According to the prophecy. And you are the only one who can stop him." Elder Tad asked."It is a little too late now, Elders. Rashka can't be stopped. Neither do I want to stop hi

    Reyana lay crumpled on the bed, her sobs filling the chamber. The silky sheets wrapped around her naked body were covered in sweat and tears.Randall had taken her against her will. It was a sin to her. She no longer bore Randall's mark; therefore, she couldn't feel okay letting him touch her the way he used to.He lay beside her, feeling victorious, reveling in the thought of Rashka being in severe pain, knowing that his 'mate' just got fucked by another man.Reyana felt movement behind her. She knew it was Randall leaving the bed. She didn't make any effort to look in his direction."Prepare. Tomorrow night, that cursed mark will be taken off you. You belong to me. Not Rashka." Randall said in an icy tone as he put on his tunic."I will never be yours, you monster!" Reyana spat, bolting to a sitting position. "You think you can just seize your way into my life without as much as making a move for redemption? Are you even sorry about all you did?""Look, Reyana. I have been paying fo

    "There are some people here to see you, Alpha," a guard reported to Alpha Randall while he was trying to cool off after the heated argument he had for the fifth time with Reyana since she arrived at the pack."Who are they?" He asked. The guard hesitated for a moment before replying."They said they are from the Green Oasis."Randall's gaze snapped in the direction of the guard, "What?" he sat up from his relaxed position."Yes, Alpha. They are from the Green Oasis. And they want to speak with you. They said it's urgent," he reported.Alpha Randall strode into his courtroom, his face set in a grim expression. Kellan and two other guards walked behind him, with Klara trailing behind."What the fuck are you doing here?" He demanded when he entered the courtroom.He saw three men and a woman standing, waiting patiently for him."Greetings, Alpha Randall. My name is Kaito. We come in peace." Kaito spoke with a small bow."Speak. What do you want within my pack?" Randall asked, ignoring th

    "The dungeon? How? What did she do?" Reyana asked with furrowed brows. If anyone had ever told her that Randall would ever throw Visha into the dungeon, she'd never have believed it."Let's go inside. I'll tell you all about it," Randall said, attempting to lead her toward the fortress but she resisted."No. I don't care about you or Visha." She raved, turning around to leave but Randall's strong hand grabbed her arm, pulling her harshly."Stop this madness!" He yelled, lifting her off the floor onto his shoulder. "You will do as I say!" He warned, walking into the fortress."Let me go!" She struggled against his firm grip but it was all futile.*"Shota!" Odessa's worried voice rang with panic as she ran into Shota's chamber. "Reyana... She is gone," she announced, trying to catch her breath.Shota bolted upright, sleep instantly banished. "Gone? Where? How?" she demanded, her voice a rasp from disuse. Panic clawed at her throat."We don't know," Odessa stammered, her hand flying to

    "No, Randall, you can't do that. I have to go. Rashka..." Reyana was trying to say when Randall cut her mid-sentence."This is about Rashka? You now choose him over me? Is that it?" Randall's tone bore hurt and anger at the same time.Reyana shot him a quick glare but maintained her composure. She didn't want to confront him in front of everyone.She couldn't bear to leave just yet. Not after she hadn't seen Rashka for days now. It'd kill her. No matter what happens, she is now his mate, and the bond she feels with him is stronger than whatever she feels for Randall at this point. She only feels empathy for Randall and his people right now. Nothing more."I now belong to another, Randall. You can't take me against my will. You have to let go! I only came to warn you of the impending danger," she said hastily when she saw that the barrier was almost closed.She tried to wriggle her wrist out of his firm grip, but he held her firmly. So firm that it hurt."Reyana," Alpha Novak finally sp

    Mud caked her clothes. She looked weak and exhausted.Novak rushed toward her, but Randall let out a loud growl of possessiveness, hurrying to where she stood in shock at the sight before her.Randall reached Reyana first, scooping her into his arms with a tenderness that surprised everyone. Relief, raw and unadulterated, washed over him. Yet, shame painted the edges of his joy. Shame at how he had treated her all along because of Visha."Reyana, he breathed, his voice thick with a mix of emotions. "What happened? How did you..." he was at a loss for words as he enveloped her again in his strong arms.Reyana blinked, her gaze flitting across the assembled crowd. She was confused. What were they all doing there?There was Novak, standing beside her, and Maya, rushing forward with tears welling in her eyes.There was Klara, a relieved smile breaking through her worried face. And then there was Aldric, his head hung low, shame radiating from him like heat waves. "W-what are you all doin

    Chantings rose, the witches' voices sounded in a powerful, ancient tongue. The leaves and branches writhed and twisted, forming a swirling light pattern resembling a celestial constellation.Just as the light reached its peak, and they were ready for the next phase of the spell, a sharp snap of a twig snapped through the tense atmosphere. All heads whipped around as the unmistakable sounds of pounding hooves grew steadily close to them.The witches continued with their chanting, not minding the disturbance that threatened them.Novak's hand instinctively went to the hilt of his sword, "Ready yourselves," he growled, his gaze scanning the dense foliage behind them, "we need to prepare for whatever is coming."Maya moved forward, too, her hand gripping the dagger strapped to her thigh.Suddenly, the trees parted, revealing a sight that brought a jolt of surprise to Novak.Alpha Randall rode at the forefront of a battalion of warriors.A tense silence descended upon them as they drew clo
