The group pressed onward, the atmosphere tense as Lena’s light continued to pulse, dim and bright in unsteady rhythms. The weight of the cryptic message from the carvings haunted each step they took.

Lucan led the way, his eyes scanning the faint markings on the walls. “There’s something familiar about these patterns,” he muttered, half to himself.

“Familiar how?” Kaden asked, keeping a protective arm around Lena.

“They match the oldest texts from the archives,” Lucan said, his voice tinged with both excitement and concern. “I always thought they were theoretical, never tied to a real location. But if I’m right…”

“Then what?” Lena pressed, her voice steady despite her exhaustion.

Lucan hesitated. “Then we’re heading toward the Altar of Baltaen. It’s said to hold the power to restore balance, but no one knows how it works or the cost.”

Erin scoffed, her tone sharp. “Another mysterious altar with an ominous cost. Just what we need.”

Lena tightened her grip on her pendant, feeling its co

    The group retraced their steps cautiously, with Lena clutching the glowing pendant, now tethered to the light’s energy. The tremors from the altar had ceased, but an eerie silence lingered. Kaden’s gaze never left Lena, his worry evident.“We’re not safe yet,” Lucan said, scanning the path ahead. “The symbols... they’re changing again. It’s like the chamber is alive.”“It feels like something is watching us,” Erin muttered, her hand resting on her dagger.Lena tightened her grip on Kaden’s hand, her voice steady despite the weight she carried. “Whatever comes, we’ll face it together.”---The corridor led to an open cavern bathed in golden light. In the center stood a crystalline obelisk, emitting a hum that seemed to resonate with the pendant. As Lena stepped forward, the light from the obelisk pulsed in response.“This must be the next step,” Lucan said, his tone cautious.Before anyone could respond, the air grew heavy, and a figure cloaked in shimmering black armor emerged from th

    They were all forced to make a desperate run for the only visible escape as the rumbling grew louder and pieces of stone plummeted from the cavern roof. With every step, the luminous mark on Lena's chest pulsed, causing her heart to race. The energy was both thrilling and terrifying."Faster!" Kaden yelled while holding Lena's hand as they made their way through the perilous road. Erin and Lucan brought up the rear, dodging falling debris with precision.“This place isn’t just collapsing, it’s being destroyed from within,” Lucan observed, his voice strained.Lena stopped as the group arrived at the cavern's entrance, looking back at the broken obelisk. She experienced a momentary pull, like though someone or something were calling to her."Lena, hurry up!" Kaden's anxious voice jolted her out of her reverie. She pushed forward, guided by the light from her mark, afterwards.---The gang entered a twilight-dappled forest, the eerie quiet a sharp contrast to the mayhem they had just fle

    Lena looked at the woman in front of her, astonishment coursing through her. The similarity was unmistakable; those striking eyes, the defined jawline, and the manner in which she carried herself exuded an eerie recognition."Sister?" Lena murmured, her voice hardly distinguishable.The woman’s smile deepened, though it held no warmth. “Yes. Though we’ve never met until now, have we? Strange how fate works.”Kaden stepped in front of Lena, his protective instincts kicking in. “Who are you, really? And what do you want with her?”The woman tilted her head, amusement flickering in her expression. “I’m Rielle. And what I want... is what Lena wants, the truth. Only I’ve had to live with it longer.”“What truth?” Lena demanded, stepping forward despite Kaden’s silent protest. Her chest burned where the mark pulsed, almost as if it recognized Rielle.Rielle’s gaze softened, but it was laced with bitterness. “The truth of our lineage, of the curse. It didn’t start with you, Lena. It didn’t e

    The summit’s silence was deafening, broken only by the echo of the orb’s hum as Rielle stood frozen, her hands trembling. Lena took a tentative step forward, her chest constricted. The air between them was twisted by the orb's power, which pulsed like a heartbeat.“Rielle,” Lena called out, her voice laced with urgency. “Put it down. You've no clue how it affects you!"I never intended for this to occur," Rielle murmured while gazing at the orb as if she were captivated. “It’s... calling me.”Kaden appeared at Lena’s side, his presence steadying her wavering resolve. “She’s not in control,” he said. “We need to act now before it consumes her.”Lucan stepped forward, his voice cold and calculating. “If that orb is the key to breaking the curse, we can’t afford hesitation. Rielle may not survive this.”“No!” Lena’s voice rang out, sharp and unwavering. “There has to be another way. She’s my sister.”For a moment, silence returned as the group wrestled with the weight of Lena’s declarati

    The moon was a silver blade cutting through the night sky, casting an ethereal glow over the Grey Hollow pack lands. Deep in the forest, Lena stood on the sacred ground, her heart pounding as the pack surrounded her in a tight circle. Every wolf’s eyes were on her, expectant, eager. This was her moment, her first shift.It was meant to be the most proudest night of her life. She was meant to become the Luna of the Grey Hollow pack because she was the heir to a very powerful bloodline, fated to become the Luna of the Grey Hollow pack. Her parents, Alphas of great strength and repute, had groomed her for this moment. Their legacy ran in her veins, and tonight, it would show itself.Lena could feel the weight of her bloodline in her bones, the pull of the wolf that was supposed to be waiting just beneath her skin. Yet, as the minutes stretched and the tension in the air thickened, nothing came.Her breath hitched, fear creeping into her chest. She concentrated harder, willing the shift t

    The chilly air stunged Lena's skin even as she followed Kaden farther into the forest, the sound of their steps muted by the thick underbrush. The weight of the night was pressing down on her shoulders, and every stride felt heavier than the one before. She didn't even know why she had agreed to follow him, less alone where they were heading. She only knew that she couldn't return to the shame she had left behind or to the pack that had rejected her.Kaden's broad frame cut through the darkness like a stealth predator as he moved forward. He moved with a grace that belied his stature. His senses were acutely aware of their environment. Oftentimes he would turn back to look at Lena's face, his expression neutral, but there was a hint of evil in his eyes.Lena had several questions, but the one that was burning inside of her was the most important: Why was he helping her? The Alpha of a rival pack had no reason to involve himself in her cursed fate. But here he was by her side, guiding

    Lena sat at the hilltop of the pack, gazing down at the swarm of wolves below, the sky still flecked with blue and purple hue. The mist in the forest enveloped the trees at dawn, shielding the world from the harsh reality that awaited them.Lena wrapped her arms around herself in a bid to protect herself from the fear that was consuming her. Her destiny as the Luna of the future was to be sealed on this day. Standing by Damon's side, the pack would see her power as she transitioned into her wolf for the first time. For as long as she could remember, she had dreamed of this moment because she thought it would confirm her position and worth.But now, all those dreams suddenly appeared brittle, like glass perched on the edge of a cliff. Her thoughts were all over her head.She had spent the last week in the company of Kaden, facing threats she could never have imagined. Yet, despite the danger and fear, there had been a strange solace in their growing bond. Kaden had become someone she r

    Lena's mind was racing as they rushed through the woodland. She was aware that Damon was after her and would not give up until he got her. In addition to being a slight to his feelings, his rejection had been a power move. By casting her aside, he had positioned himself to take control of the pack without her.But there was something more to it. The hatred in Damon’s eyes when he had rejected her… it had been personal. He didn’t just want to rule, he wanted to see her broken, destroyed. And now, as the wolves continued to pursue them, Lena knew that Damon’s obsession had grown into something darker.“Why would Damon do this?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. “He rejected me and now, he wants me dead.”Kaden glanced at her, his expression grim. “Damon’s not acting alone. He’s working with Zara.”The name sent a chill down Lena’s spine. Zara, the sorceress responsible for her family’s curse. The one who had manipulated their bloodline for centuries. If Damon had allied himse

    The words of the stranger echoed off the walls of the cavern and lingered heavy in the air. Kaden's eyes narrowed as he gripped his sword more tightly. “Start explaining,” he demanded, his voice cold. “Who are you, and what do you mean the light belongs to you?”The man’s smirk didn’t falter. “I have many names, but you can call me Caius. And the light inside her,” he nodded toward Lena, “is part of an ancient bond. One that was never supposed to be broken.”Lena stepped forward, her unease growing with every word. With a trembling but forceful voice, "I didn't ask for this bond," she stated. "I asked for none of this."“No,” Caius said, his green eyes glowing faintly. “But you accepted it when you shattered the heartstone. You’ve awakened something far older than your curse, something tied to me.”Lucan, still gripping the stranger’s arm, interjected. “If you’re tied to the heartstone, then you know how we can break the curse completely. Tell us, or…”“Or what?” Caius sneered, pullin

    The forest surrounding them seemed eerily still as Kaden, Lena, Erin, and Lucan reemerged into their familiar world. The dense canopy above filtered sunlight in delicate patterns, a stark contrast to the surreal starfield they had left behind. For a moment, it felt as though time itself had paused.Kaden’s arms remained around Lena, his grip firm as if letting go might pull her away again. She clung to him, her breathing uneven, her body trembling from the ordeal. Despite her apparent exhaustion, there was a strange vitality in her eyes, a faint, glowing flicker that neither Kaden nor the others could ignore.“Are you okay?” Kaden asked softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“I think so,” Lena murmured, though her voice lacked conviction. “But something feels… different.”Before Kaden could press further, Lucan stepped forward, his sharp gaze locked on Lena’s chest where the remnants of the heartstone had fused. “That light,” he said, his voice laced with both awe and concer

    The glow of the heartstone bathed the room in a calming light, though its stillness offered no comfort. Kaden’s fingers brushed against its surface, and for a moment, the air grew dense, charged with an unseen energy. Lucan and Erin stood behind him, their eyes filled with equal parts curiosity and apprehension.“What does it mean?” Erin asked, her voice cutting through the heavy silence.Lucan examined the heartstone closer, his brow furrowed in concentration. “It’s not just a relic. It’s a guide. It’s showing us the way to Lena.”Kaden’s jaw tightened as his gaze remained locked on the faint image of Lena in the starry field within the stone. “Then what are we waiting for? We can’t leave her there.”Lucan held up a hand. “It’s not that simple. She's connected to the heartstone, yes, but it’s also bound to us now. It needs more than determination to activate. We have to understand its purpose fully, or we risk losing her.”Erin crossed her arms, frustration bubbling to the surface. “

    The landscape's shimmering haze, which alternated between vivid shades of blue and gold, went on forever. The weight of their displacement weighed heavily on Lena, Kaden, Erin, and Lucan as they stood in startled stillness. There was no water to be seen, yet the air had a slight salty smell. Beneath their boots, the ground pulsed softly like a heartbeat, a mixture of glowing crystals and soft sand."Where are we?" Erin asked, her voice breaking the stillness.Lucan crouched down, running his fingers through the crystalline sand. “Not Vorellis, that’s for sure. This place feels...alive.”Kaden's protective instincts kicked in as he looked beyond the horizon. "We must find out what's happening. And fast. Something about this place feels...wrong.”Before Lena could respond, the ground beneath her feet began to shift. She stumbled, and Kaden grabbed her arm, steadying her. The shifting sands formed what appeared to be a pathway, glowing faintly as if beckoning them forward.“It wants us t
