Chapter 10: A THE SPARK OF CHANGE
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-01-25 04:59:54The atmosphere in the room was thick with tension, as if the air itself was charged. Lycia and Morrigana stood motionless, their eyes wide, each of them unsure of what would happen next. The sound of Cove's powerful voice thundered through the room, loud enough to cut through the noise around them, sharp and commanding. His gaze shifted quickly from Morrigana to Lycia, his face a mix of rage, confusion, and an emotion that almost seemed like he was worried. It was as though he was trying to understand what was going on, torn between his anger and the deeper concern he felt.
"What do you think you're doing, Morrigana?" Cove shouted, his tone was sharp and commanding as he marched toward her.
His eyes locked onto Morrigana’s, burning with a mixture of fury and disbelief. The sight of Lycia, her face wet with tears, and the broken chains that was scattered on the floor only seemed to make him angrier. Instead of feeling sympathy or calming down, the scene only added fuel to the fire of his rage, doing little to soften his fury.
Morrigana tried to speak, but nothing came out. For the first time in years, she was speechless. The power Lycia had shown only moments before, had stunned her deeply. Her fingers were shaking unconsciously, almost as if they were remembering the strong energy that had pushed her away earlier. She couldn’t shake the that lycia could possess some sort of extraordinary power.
Morrigana finally spoke, her voice shaky at first.
"She...she attacked me," she said, trying to sound confident, though there was a hint of uncertainty, like she wasn’t sure of what happened. But she quickly pulled herself together, standing taller and brushing off any sign of weakness.
"I was merely defending myself," she added firmly, trying to make her actions seem justified.
"Defending yourself?" Cove's voice dropped, filled with disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe what she was saying. Like the idea was so far-fetched, so ridiculous, that it didn’t make sense. His eyes narrowed, locking onto Morrigana with an intense, piercing stare.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" he growled, his tone low and threatening. His tone making it clear that he found her explanation hard to believe, almost as if it were something out of a story that couldn’t possibly be true. "I have known you long enough to see when you've gone too far."
Morrigana’s jaw clenched tightly, her teeth tensed, but she didn’t say anything in return. Instead, she shot a hateful glare at Lycia.
Lycia stood there, still shaking but strong, her whole body holding a quiet power. The strength she had just discovered seemed to linger around her, a faint but undeniable force that radiated outward. It was as though the energy she had unleashed earlier was still surrounding her, making her appear unshakable despite the fear in her eyes.
Cove stood next to Lycia, his posture rigid as he fixed his gaze on her. His voice was still firm, but with a trace of concern beneath the sternness.
“Are you hurt?” he asked, his words sharp, yet carrying an underlying seriousness that made it clear he was focused on her well-being despite his frustration.
Lycia paused for a moment, her voice trembling as she tried to steady herself. "No, I’m fine. Just... startled," she said quietly, not meeting Cove’s eyes.
Her thoughts were racing, still trying to make sense of what had just happened. Her mind kept going over the overwhelming power that had surged inside her, wondering where it had come from. What had she just done? How had she been able to do something like that? The questions filled her head, but she couldn't find the answers.
“You should rest,” Cove said softly, guiding Lycia gently toward the bed and helping her sit down. He then turned back to Morrigana, his face hardening as his anger flared up again.
“Leave. Now!!,” he ordered, his voice cold and commanding, making it clear that he wanted no further argument.
For a moment, Morrigana looked like she might argue, her anger flaring as she opened her mouth to speak. But the sheer force of Cove’s authority was too much to ignore. She hesitated, then, with one last furious glare at Lycia, she spun around and marched toward the door. Her boots hit the floor with heavy steps, and as she threw the door open, it slammed shut behind her with a loud bang, echoing through the room.
Silence settled over the room, broken only by Lycia’s unsteady breaths. Cove sat beside her, his brow furrowed in thought.
“That wasn’t normal, was it?” Lycia finally asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Cove shook his head. “What wasn't?.” He hesitated before responding, his tone cautious.
“Get some rest,” he said curtly, his earlier gentleness replaced by his usual cold demeanor. Without waiting for a response, he turned and left the room, leaving Lycia alone with her swirling thoughts.
Meanwhile, Morrigana paced her chambers, her mind racing. The scene replayed in her head: the way Lycia had broken the chains as if they were nothing, the heat that had filled the room, the sheer force that had pushed her back. It wasn’t just surprising; it was terrifying.
But beneath her fear was a dangerous realization. After what she just witnessed, if Lycia did possesss powers, she was not just a threat, she was a looming danger that could easily overtake her. Morrigana's mind raced, knowing that if she didn’t act fast, Lycia could become a rival she couldn’t defeat. And Morrigana wasn’t about to let that happen; she would crush the threat before it had a chance to grow.
She stopped in front of her mirror, her reflection glaring back at her.
“If she thinks she can outmatch me, she’s gravely mistaken,” Morrigana muttered to herself. “I’ll find a way to turn this to my advantage. One way or another.
The night was restless for all three of them. Lycia lay awake, her mind plagued with questions about the incident. Cove sat in his quarters, staring blankly at the walls, his thoughts unreadable. And Morrigana schemed, her thoughts a tangle of anger, fear, and ambition.
As the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, one thing was certain: the events of the night had set something in motion. The balance of power was shifting, and none of them could predict what would come next.

Lycia sat on the cold stone floor of the dim room, her back pressed against the rough walls, her body trembling from exhaustion. Her muscles aching, and the bruises that Morrigana had left on her skin pulsed with pain, a constant reminder of the pain she had just endured. But the physical pain wasn’t what hurt the most. It was the emptiness she felt inside, the helplessness, and the overwhelming sense of failure. Her mind would not stop racing, pulling her back to the beginning. To the moments that led her here, locked away in this strange, dark world. How could she have been so blind? How could she have believed that this could work? Every lie, every betrayal, replayed in her mind, like a broken record that would not stop spinning.And then there was Morrigana, the one person responsible for the pain she was going through. Lycia’s breath broke as she thought about the bitter words, the cold eyes that had watched her, trapping her in this miserable place. Morrigana’s torture had bro

Raven’s voice had that same smooth, confident tone it always had, when she showed up at Lycia’s door that night. The moonlight outlined her figure, making her look as sharp and as imposing as ever. “Still living in this dump I see?" she sneered, her lips twisting into that smug, self-satisfied grin that made Lycia’s blood boil every time she saw it.Lycia’s breath caught in her throat, and her chest tightened as a wave of resentment started to build up inside of her. It was like a sharp, jagged pain, and it felt impossible for her to ignore. The anger and frustration that had built up, lingered just beneath the surface, threatening to break free. There she was, Raven. The woman who had once held her heart with such tender ease, only to crush it as if it had never mattered. Raven had always been like that; elegant, untouchable, and effortlessly in control, as if she moved in a world above Lycia’s understanding. Lycia had spent years trying to claw her way out of Raven’s dark and shado

And as Raven’s figure disappeared into the night, Lycia braced herself for what came next.They met the next night in an old, abandoned warehouse. The place smelled of rust and rot, and every step she took seemed to echo loudly, breaking the heavy, eerie stillness around her. A single bulb dangled from the ceiling, fluctuating, going on and off, and making the shadows on the cracked walls dance and shift. The atmosphere felt uneasy, as though the building itself held secrets of its own. Lycia stood by a worn out, unsteady table, carefully laying out the blueprints of Deveraux mansion. Her hands moved with surprising calmness, even though her mind was filled with lots doubt and worry.That morning, Jack had been in a much worse state. His coughs were sounding deeper and harsher, like they were coming from somewhere deep inside his chest, and his face was pale and tired, with dark circles under his eyes, a clear sign of exhaustion and sleepless nights.Lycia had stayed by his side for a

The room was dimly lit, with a single candle flickering on a nearby table, its unsteady glow created dancing shadows on the rough stone walls. Morrigana stood by the tall, arched window, her arms folded tightly across her chest, as if she was trying to contain the storm of emotions brewing inside of her. The moonlight filtered through the glass window, softly illuminating her sharp features, making her expression seem even colder.Outside, the pack’s territory stretched out before her, quiet and still, but it was a false sense of peace. The day had been full of chaos, and though everything now seemed calm, she knew it wouldn’t last. Something about that calm felt wrong, like the silence before a storm.Her fingers were tapping steadily against her arm, the sound soft but constant, a reflection of the storm that was raging in her mind. Thoughts twisted and turned, spiraling endlessly like a wheel she couldn’t stop. She hated this particular feeling, like this growing unease that clung

Leaving Lycia alone, Cove goes to his study for a quiet moment, to think. Cove sat alone in his study, the only light illuminating his study was from the low burning lantern on his desk. The room was silent except for the steady ticking of the clock that hung on his wall. He leaned back in his chair, exhaling slowly as he scraped the chair handle with the claw from his index finger, staring deeply at the dim light.His thoughts were restless.This girl.Lycia.A thief, one who had somehow slipped past his guards, maneuvered through his estate; and her accomplice, who had succeeded in taking the key to the most powerful relic ever known to his kind, was nowhere to be found. That alone was infuriating. But what troubled him more was how they had bypassed his security so effortlessly and how much they knew about his mansion enough to head straight for the map without hesitation. Someone had fed them information. Someone had helped them.Someone closed. An imposter; so Cove believes.Cove’

"My security had been compromised," Cove announced, his voice deep and edged with fury. "Thieves had entered into my territory, past my guards, past our defenses, and yet, not a single guard had noticed the intrusion. His words were like a blade, cutting through the tense air. Some of the warriors flinched. Others tightened their jaws, their muscles tightening as they felt a never before experienced force of their Alpha’s anger. Their instincts screamed submission, but even that might not be enough to quell the storm brewing in his eyes. Cove took a slow step forward, his boots pressing into the dirt with a quiet, deliberate force. The movement sent a ripple of tension through the group. "How!" he demanded, his voice a dangerous growl. "How did two girls, two filthy street thieves slip past all of you?" Silence; heavy and unforgiving. The warriors stood frozen, their glowing eyes darting toward one another, searching for an answer; praying someone else would be the first to speak.

……..The tension in the battle training ground seemed to solidify as every Lycan warrior understood the weight of the moment, understanding that they could be facing no ordinary opponent; a force that would stop at nothing to crush them if they failed.The warriors moved into action, a single unified thought running through their minds: there would be no room for mistakes. Not now that their Alpha wasn’t happy with them; not anymore. Every move was calculated, their instincts razor-sharp, not just for the battle that loomed ahead, but for the traitor that was lurking amongst them, an imposter who had betrayed their trust. They were on high alert, knowing that one wrong step could cause the reveal of the enemy hiding in plain sight.……..Cove had returned to his study, his mind still storming with the weight of different possiibilities and the unsettling truths that lurked beneath it.

Lycia found herself slung over Cove’s warrior’s back, her wrists tied behind her. The proud defiance she once had was reduced to trembling limbs and labored breaths. A fresh cut on her cheek bled down her jaw, staining her skin as it slowly dripped down towards her chin; a wound she got from the sharp nail of the warrior who had thrown her over his shoulder like a sack of grain.The heavy doors to the throne room swung open with a deafening crash. The warrior stepped forward and dropped Lycia onto the cold stone floor. She hit the ground with a thud, the impact jarring through her bones. But even then, she didn’t look away from Cove, even as they forced her to her knees before him.Cove leaned forward, resting his elbow on the armrest of his throne, he stared into the room. When he finally spoke, his voice was low and deliberate.“You’ve tested my patience long enough.”Lycia swallowed hard, but she didn’t speak. Her silence only fueled the storm brewing in his eyes.With an almost la

The air was still thick with tension.Lycia’s breaths came fast and sharp, her body still burning from the brutal fight she just had with Morrigana. She had dirt clinging to her skin, mixing with sweat and she was clearly too exhausted to care about her looks. The training grounds had fallen into stunned silence, all eyes locked onto her and him.Cove.The Alpha.Cove stood tall before her, his silver eyes looking into hers, unreadable and unwavering. He extended his hand to help her stand up; a help Lycia thought to be a silent command and unspoken order.Lycia didn’t move.Her fingers curled into fists at her sides, jaw tight. Every muscle in her body screamed for rest, but she refused to show weakness. When she finally spoke, her voice was like steel.“I don’t need your help.”Cove’s thoughts didn’t change, but the look on his face showed he clearly was not up for games. For a moment, he simply watched her, as if weighing whether she was worth the patience.Then he exhaled, slow an
The Alpha’s Luna and the Bloodmoon Amulet Chapter 38: Clash of Beasts
The warriors' cheers echo through the training grounds, their roars of excitement vibrate through the earth, a clash of approval and bloodlust that fuels the battle unfolding before them. The sound is deafening, howls growing louder with every second, yet beneath it all, a different kind of weight settles over the onlookers.Lycia’s chest rose and fell, the heat still pulsing through her veins, but something deeper; was stirring inside her.The training ground was no longer just a battlefield. It had become an altar, and she was standing at its center, something sacred and cursed in the same breath. The whispers of the Lycans had died out, replaced by stunned silence, their bodies tense, and their instincts screaming at them to recognize the shift in power.Then Morrigana moved.With a wild snarl, Morrigana charged. No tricks, no games; just pure rage.Lycia barely had time to react before they crashed into each ot

Lycia felt the shift in the moment she walked into the training ground. The air was thick with unspoken tension, pressing down on her like a weight. Conversations quieted as she entered, but the stares remained; lingering, calculating.Raven’s presence still clung to her like a ghost, her touch, her voice, the unsettling promises she had whispered. She could hear the hushed whispers, see the way people turned to each other, speaking just low enough that she couldn’t catch the words. But she didn’t need to. The cautious glances, the wariness in their eyes, told her everything.Raven’s words had already spread like wildfire, poisoning the air around her. Lycia forced herself to move forward, head high, steps steady. She had survived Raven’s games. Now, she had to survive this.“She doesn’t belong here.” The words slithered through the air, hushed yet sharp, spoken by a woman with narrowed eyes and lips pressed into a thin, disapproving line. Her fingers curled around the edge of her cloa
The Alpha’s Luna and the Bloodmoon Amulet Chapter 36: A Dangerous Bargain
A few weeks had gone by, yet the memory of what she had experienced with Maya still lingered in Lycia’s mind. It wasn’t just a warning; it was a certainty, and she was sure of it. Something was coming, something far greater than she could comprehend. And if she wasn’t ready, if she couldn’t control the storm brewing inside her, the consequences would be disastrous.But she couldn’t share it. Not with anyone, as of that moment she couldn’t trust anyone.The weight of it pressed down on her, a secret she had to bear alone. No one would understand, not truly. And even if they did, what could they do? This was her fight, her burden as Maya had said.She found herself walking through the vast estate, wandering into the forest. It was much more silent, all she could hear was the rustling of leaves beneath her boots. The moon’s light filtered through the flora canopy, casting silver streaks across the clearing where she trained alone. Every night, she came here, pushing herself, trying to co

Lycia stiffened. “A prophecy? I think you have me mistaken. You see, I am only but a prisoner here. I don’t think I’m the one.”Maya’s gaze darkened, the weight of centuries pressing into her voice. She reached out, gripping Lycia’s shoulders with a quiet urgency that sent a shiver down her spine. “Listen to me, child,” she whispered, her tone raw with unshaken certainty. “You are more than you know; more than what they have told you, more than the blood that runs through your veins. You are destiny woven into flesh, a force the world has tried to silence, but it cannot. It will not.”Her fingers tightened, her eyes burning with an intensity that sent Lycia’s heart pounding. “You were never meant to be ordinary. You were never meant to bow. They will come for you, they will try to break you, but you….” Maya’s voice trembled with a fierce tenderness. “You will rise, child. You will burn brighter than the night they have tried to drown you in.”Lycia swallowed hard, her breath unsteady.

The whispers began before sleep had fully claimed her.Soft. Insidious. A voice neither of this world nor the next.Lycia stirred, but her body was no longer her own. Her feet moved, silent as the shadows, drawn to the unseen call.After what seemed like a long discussion with Cove, she finally retired to what used to be her prison. Sleep pulled her under like an unseen tide, dragging her into darkness.But this was no ordinary slumber.A whisper floated through the air; soft, ethereal, curling around her ears like a lover’s breath. A chill ran down her spine. Then another, layered upon the first, overlapping and weaving together like ghostly fingers brushing against her skin.She shuddered.Lycia’s breath hitched. Something felt wrong. The room seemed colder than before, the silence too absolute. Was she dreaming? Or awake?Then, the whisper changed.More insistent. More urgent.“Move!.” It whispered.Her fingers twitched. Her heart pounded. The air around her felt thick, heavy, char

Taking a shaky breath, she decided to tell him the truth; at least part of it."I needed the money," she admitted, her voice quieter now. "I didn’t care about the map or what it meant. I only took the job because Raven said it would pay well. I was desperate."Cove’s expression remained unreadable, but he didn’t interrupt, so she continued."I wanted to get out of Crimson City. I’ve spent my whole life scraping by, running from one bad situation to another. And I had someone to take care of; Jack. He’s sick, dying. I needed the money to help him too."That statement shocked Cove, but it was gone before she could place it."So you risked everything for a man who’s dying?" he asked, his voice lacking its usual sharpness.Lycia nodded. "I couldn’t just leave him to suffer. He’s the only family I have left. I never knew anything about the Bloodmoon Amulet, or why the map was so important. I just needed enough to disappear, to take Jack somewhere safe before it was too late."She met Cove’

Lycia’s breath was shallow as she pressed against the cold stone walls of her prison, her mind racing. Cove stood before her, the dim torchlight flickering across his sharp features, casting shadows that made him look even more menacing. He was too close—too still. And his silence was far worse than any words.Her heartbeat pounded in her ears as she forced herself to hold his gaze. "What do you want from me?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Cove tilted his head slightly, studying her like a puzzle he was slowly piecing together. Then, in one fluid motion, he closed the distance between them, his hand pressing against the wall beside her head. The air shifted, charged, and for a moment, it wasn’t just fear that made her breath hitch."You tell me, thief," he murmured, his voice smooth, dangerous. "Why would someone like you risk everything for a map you claim to know nothing about?"She swallowed hard, her body betraying her with a shiver. "I… I didn’t know its worth. It
The Alpha’s Luna and the Bloodmoon Amulet Chapter 31: RUN, LYCIA, RUN
Her lungs burned as she pushed forward, every instinct screaming at her to run faster. But she could hear them behind her. The snarls, the pounding of paws against the earth. Panic shot through her veins like fire. Her lungs burned as she sprinted through the trees, her legs screaming in protest. She had no plan, just blind, desperate instinct gushing through her."Run, Lycia! Just run!" she choked out, her voice breaking with desperation.Behind her, the heavy pounding of boots and paws tore through the ground. They were closing in. They were faster. Stronger. They would catch her.No. No, she couldn’t let them.Lycia’s foot caught on an exposed root, twisting violently beneath her. A sharp burst of pain shot up her leg as she crashed to the ground, her palms scraping against the rough earth. The impact knocked the breath from her lungs, leaving her gasping, her body trembling from exhaustion and fear.She forced herself up, her vision blurring as she stumbled forward. But it was to
