Chapter 99Adrien rubbed his nose tiredly. He was sick of his entire team. He was the only single one on the team now! He should protest! The injustice was horrible.There was no one he could team up with separately, not Zack and Isabella, they would probably be doing unspeakable things.Not Noah and Myla, he would die from the tooth rotting fluff surrounding them, or the glare from Noah. And finally, not Alex and Kollie. As it stood, he was the only one in the way of them actually finally getting together, and he was paying for that because with every glare Alex sent his way, he felt a piece of his skin singed away. He suddenly felt bone deep grievance, at this point it was like everyone was shoving his lack of luck in romance in his face. Even the ones that got off on the worst foot ever. "Let's move up, I think I saw a sigil in the trees", he said to the two of them, leading and leaving them behind. He wasn't ready to survive another one of Alex's special glares. "They inscribe
Chapter 100Noah sat reclined in his seat, eyes piercing through the digital map of Costa starry, which was also known as the hill of stars."So, we move in three days", he said resolutely. All the team leaders nodded in unison, his own team mates standing at the corners of the room. The information they had gotten was probably single-handedly the best and worst thing Noah would ever hear. It was the best because they could bring the fight to their unprepared enemies. It was the worst because if they hadn't gotten it, they would have waited, and died, unprepared."You already have your teams, everyone is to keep at least twelve vials of the antidote on their person at all times. Reducing the amount of rogues you have to fight is paramount to the cause", Zack bellowed, making sure they understood. Some of these people had personal grudges against rogues as a whole, he wasn't willing to sacrifice any innocents on their behalf.Noah dismissed the room, sighing before strutting out. "He
Chapter 101In a secluded training area hidden amidst the towering trees of a dense forest, Alex and Kollie stood side by side, their faces etched with determination. The air was thick with anticipation as they prepared for the impending battle that would test their skills and their resolve.Kollie, her fierce determination shining in her eyes, brandished a gleaming sword, the blade catching the dappled sunlight that filtered through the leaves. She had trained tirelessly in the art of combat, and her movements were fluid and precise, a testament to her dedication.Alex, not to be outdone, gripped a pair of sleek, custom-made pistols, his fingers caressing the cool metal as he checked the chambers with a practiced ease. He had honed his marksmanship skills to perfection, and his unwavering focus radiated an air of quiet confidence.They began their training, moving in perfect synchronization as they practiced various combat techniques. Kollie's sword danced through the air, her strik
Chapter 102The team of eight gathered round the base of Costa starry. "Aren't we supposed to attack tomorrow night? What are we doing here now?", Alex bumbled, annoyed and rubbing his eyes fervently. Myla had woken he and Kollie up at midnight. Alex's first thought was that it was karma for what he did a while back, it turned out it was urgent, and she asked them to gather here."There are several moles, they've informed them, they're already recharging their powers", Myla said angrily, hurriedly wearing fingerless gloves and grabbing a tranquilizer gun."It takes at least three days to recharge after staying dormant, I think we'll be fine", Hailey said tiredly, yawning and eying the soft patch of grass in front of her."Well, the moles told them the minute we announced it. There were only 18 members in the meeting that knew about the ambush. When we get back, find the traitors", Noah said to Adrien, strapping his own gun to his belt."Uh, how many times can we shoot this?", Adrie
Chapter 103Isabella raised her head."Why is the moon bleeding?", She shrieked as she scowled at the rapidly reddening moon. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the moon."The air feels wrong", Alex frowned, trying not to sniff in the scent of death and blood in the air."It's a red moon! Attack already!", Someone yelled in front of them. Suddenly, several hundreds of people ran out to them. Kollie was the first to go down. She was hit in the arm with a fiery substance and when she checked it out the arm was useless. She bit back a groan, she couldn't afford to distract everybody now."Why are you even doing this?!", Isabella yelled at the people surrounding and attacking her from all sides. They weren't supposed to be this many, Myla should've used her sleep thing, why wasn't she using her sleep thing?"Well, I'll enlighten you", a woman in a clean cut white gown strutted front and center into the field."The orchestrators owe witches a huge deal, they get rid o
Chapter 104Noah's hazel eyes gleamed with an unsettling rage as he charged forward, leaving his companions stunned and wary.As the moon bathed Starry Hill in its eerie, blood-red glow, Noah's world narrowed down to a singular, burning desire for vengeance. His heart ached with the unbearable loss of Myla, and the memories of innocent lives taken by these malevolent witches and vampires fueled an unquenchable anger within him.He was in the midst of tranquilizing his parents. They deserved the death sentence, but he wouldn't be the one to kill them, he couldn't. They had taken so many innocent lives, they didn't deserve to live. His heart was pounding with the determination to protect Myla and the others.And then, in one moment, the bond he shared with Myla, a bond forged through countless shared experiences and a deep, unbreakable connection, was violently severed. It was as if a part of his own being had been torn away, leaving behind an agonizing void. A sharp, searing pain lance
Chapter 105The weight of grief bore down on Noah, his heart shattered by the loss of Myla, his beloved mate. The echoes of pain reverberated through his very soul, leaving him in a state of despair and emptiness that he thought he might never escape. Yet, amidst the shadows of hopelessness, a flicker of desperate determination glimmered in the eyes of Hailey.Hailey stepped forward, her hands trembling ever so slightly as she first carefully collected the small, black, pulsating heart in her outstretched palms. It was a heart torn from the one that cast the incante. Its rhythmic beat pulsed in her hands, a testament to the life that had once flowed through it.It wasn't at all what she meant, but spells were fickle like that, so long as it was a heart, it could work.With a deep, shuddering breath, Hailey's gaze fixed upon the heart, her eyes reflecting a potent mixture of fear, hope, and determination. She knew the risks involved in the spell she was about to perform – the perilous
Chapter 106Before any of them could break down, Celia hushed them with a wave of her hand."You can't ever wake her up, you can only wake mortals up", the woman smiled ethereally."She's a mortal! She can't die, not yet. Please mother!", Noah begged desperately."You're feeding her life, when she's life herself", a new voice said, the air shimmering again. A woman stood floating beside the moon goddess. A man appeared, and another, and another, till the area that surrounded the eight of them were filled with shimmering people.Myla also began to shimmer, alongside Noah."W-what do you mean by life herself?", Zack asked, the only person other than Noah bold enough to talk to someone that seemed celestial."You'll see", Celia winked.As the night sky blanketed the world in darkness, the moon hung low, casting an eerie red glow across the landscape. Myla who was once lifeless, lay beneath the shimmering canopy of stars, her body bathed in the crimson hue of the bleeding moon. It was a
