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

    As Lena, Kaden, Rielle, and the others gazed at the figure that was coming from the crack, tension was in the air. Shrouded in darkness, it radiated a tangible threat that chilled the surroundings."What is that?" Over the low rumbling of the fissure, the voice of Rielle could almost be heard as she muttered.The sound of the shadowed figure's laughter was a menacing mix of sarcastic laughter and unbridled might. “You thought breaking the curse would bring salvation,” it said. “But you have merely shifted the balance. Now, the true reckoning begins.”Lena stepped forward, her hands clenched into fists despite the trembling in her legs. “Who are you? What do you want?”The figure’s fiery eyes fixed on her, and it tilted its head. “I am the consequence of your choices, child. The light you have unleashed has awakened me, a power that even your mother dared not confront.”Kaden drew his blade, its steel glinting in the fading sunlight. “Whatever you are, you won’t harm them,” he said, st

    Lena froze as the shadow’s clawed hand hovered inches from her face, it's dark aura thrumming with ancient energy. Time seemed to slow as Kaden’s voice echoed behind her.“Lena, stop! There’s another way!”Despite her tense heart, she didn't turn around. With a shaky but determined voice, she declared, "I can't let it take you."The air rumbled with the shadow's laughter. “Your willingness is admirable, child, but I need more than your surrender. I need your essence.”“What does that mean?” Lena demanded, her voice steadying despite the fear clawing at her chest.“It means you will cease to be,” the shadow replied, its tone almost gentle, as though explaining a fact. “You will be the vessel of my power, and in doing so, you will save them.”Kaden rushed forward, his sword gleaming as he slashed at the shadow’s outstretched arm. The blade struck true, and the shadow recoiled with a hiss, its form momentarily flickering.“Lena, don’t listen to it!” Kaden shouted, grabbing her arm. “We’l

    The aftermath of the blinding light left an eerie stillness in the clearing. Lena sat in Kaden’s arms, her breaths shallow, her heart pounding in disbelief. Rielle stood frozen, her mind racing to process Lucan’s betrayal.“He planned this,” Rielle whispered, her voice trembling. “Lucan knew exactly what he was doing.”Kaden’s jaw clenched, his anger barely restrained. “He betrayed us, Lena. He used you.”Lena struggled to sit up, her hands clutching her chest where the mark pulsed faintly. “No,” she said, her voice cracking. “Lucan wouldn’t… there has to be more to this.”Rielle spun toward her, her eyes blazing. “More? He handed us over to that thing! You can’t defend him now!”Lena’s tears welled up, but she shook her head. “He said balance demands correction. Maybe he believed he was fixing something we couldn’t see.”“Or maybe he was working with the shadow all along,” Kaden growled. “We can’t keep making excuses for him.”As tensions flared, the ground beneath the altar rumbled,

    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

    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

    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

    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 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
