Selena's POV

"I've seen the way some of the pack members look at us," I said, my voice barely above a whisper as though someone close by was listening to our conversation. "They're not all loyal to us, Zane. Some of them may be secretly working with Xaren. I'm... I'm sure of it."

Zane's expression turned grim, his eyes flashing with anger. "We'll investigate," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "And if we find out that anyone is working with Xaren, they'll be dealt with accordingly."

I nodded in agreement, my heart pounding with anticipation. We were in for a long and difficult fight, but I was ready. I was ready to defend our pack, our home, and our way of life.

As we sat there, discussing our plan of action, I couldn't help but feel a sense of determination and purpose. We would face whatever challenges lay ahead, and we would emerge victorious.

But as I looked into Zane's eyes, I saw something there that gave me pause. A flicker of doubt, a hint of uncertainty.

    Selena's POVThe sound of my footsteps were hushed by the lush carpet under me. I pulled the hood of my cloak over my face, hesitating a little as I held my mask in my hands. Sighing, I shoved it back into the cloak pockets.I walked through the hallway, my mind wandered, unable to shake the feeling that Zane's eyes were still on me. I found it almost impossible to resist him back in the room, but as I thought about him. my mind drifted to another person.Rowan.I had thought I was long over him, that my feelings for him had long faded away and was replaced by anger and revenge, but the more time that I spent with him- the more I set my eyes on him-the more I was proved wrong."I'll end this all tonight," I whispered under my breath, my fists clenching tightly. My revenge on him still stands, for the sake of my dead child.My steps slowed as another feeling hit me. I could t deny that I still felt a pang of guilt as I thought about Rowan. I had moved on, or so I thought. Zane was the

    Selena's POV"You said that the spell has to follow a certain pattern before the healing can be conjured perfectly," a student, Rayan, asked after I had pointed to him. "I once tried using a different pattern when using a spell on a rat that had a cut on its belly and it worked." "Just because it worked on an animal doesn't mean it would on a human," I explained as I walked towards the young boy. "Take for example, the doctor needed to treat an animal is not the same for treating a human. That goes for humans too." I muttered a spell under my breath and waved my hands in the air, causing an image to suddenly form m, suspended above us. Everyone awed and ooed at the sight, watching as I demonstrated to them what I meant with the image. "I once thought I could cut corners in using my spells one time when I was healing a fallen soldier during a battle," I said, waving my hand and causing the images floating image to play out in motion. It showed me kneeling beside a fallen wolf, his s

    Selena's POVI stood there, feeling a sense of frustration and disorientation. All my previous thoughts and tribulations flooded my mind again, making me wonder if I was in another trance."No, no, no," I muttered under my breath as I placed my hands on the walls by my hand. Just a minute ago, I couldn't even touch them both at the same time, but now I could. It wasn't just me... I wasn't just imagining it-the walls were closing in on me.I closed my eyes as beads of sweat rolled down my eyelids. I tried my best to hone in on the problem and not panic but no matter what I did, my mind drifted to the walls surrounding me. I muttered a spell under my breath as I tried to connect with the Aegis stone but I felt nothing. Suddenly, I realized that my arm was bent. I looked at my right hand and found it arched up. The walls had moved when my eyes were closed."Oh, no," I whispered under my breath as I turned and ran back down the passageway, taking as many turns and bends as possible. "Hel

    Selena’s POVI walked over to the window and looked out, trying to clear my head. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the landscape. It was beautiful, but I couldn't appreciate it. My mind was too busy, too caught up in thoughts and worries.I rested my arms on the windowsill and took in a deep breath. The cold afternoon breeze blew pass, ruffling my hair. I arranged it as my eyes traveled down to the garden the servants were working on. I sighted Kato amongst them, collecting some of the fruits and vegetables the workers gathered. Seeing him brought to mind the plans that I had conjured and I exhaled deeply. "What am I doing?" I muttered under my breath as I placed my face into my palm. I was going out of the moral conducts that I was to follow as a Seer for... revenge. If the students that I was teaching were to hear of this, what would they think of me?But still, the same wolf I was talking myself to spare was the same that castes I and his son out and left us to die.

    Selena's POVAs we continued deeper into the cave, the guard's demeanor began to change. He seemed tensed, walking and trembling. I noticed the sudden change but attributed it to the cold in the cave. Still, it felt really off that it had happened just after telling him about my suspicions. "Seer, can I ask you something?" he suddenly said, his voice low and cautious as he turned to face me. I could see a hint of fear in his eyes and it instantly caused me to stop in my steps. I nodded, feeling a sense of curiosity grow within me. "Go on," I muttered, my voice echoing against the stone walls, reverberating through the cave. Seeing how loud it was caused me to instantly reduce my tone. "What is it?" I asked, my voice now in a whisper. The guard seemed to hesitate, his eyes looking round the cave, as though searching for something before finally locking on mine. "What exactly did you see in the passage way?" he asked, a deliberate tone masked on his face.I suddenly felt a sense of u

    Selena's POV"Your attention, seer, is needed in the house of Gregory. His wolf needs healing. It's on the verge of death, " the guard informed me in his deep voice as he walked before me." I see, we would get there before dusk, but I have an urgent need to attend to," I replied, trying to maintain a neutral voice as he jolted me out of my thoughts. "Alright, my lady."The fading light of the day cast long shadows across the landscape as we emerged out of the cave, more like skeletal fingers reaching out to snatch at my ankles. My stomach churn at the smell of damp air and decaying leaves, a morbid perfume filled my nostrils, making me feel like a little teen werewolf again.But I still couldn't shake off the from that something was terribly wrong, something that would shake the authority defining moonstone pack.The Aeges stone itself, the grand and ancient artifact of protection in the pack seemed artificial, which means it's been stolen or something."Zane needs to hear about thi

They surely had increased in number, and this made me nervous to wonder what the occasion was.I could feel the weight of the gaze of other warriors upon me, a little whisper between two or more and the chanting of 'seer, seer," followed by their bowing in reverence.As we walked deeper and closer to the fire, the trees seemed to grow closer together, it's branches tangling overhead. I could feel tension build in me as I got closer to the fire.Finally, we got to the centre of the camp. I took a glance behind me and I saw the guard walking closely behind me."You said you .....""I know what I said Seer, but I just couldn't stand you walk around this sort of gathering alone," he replied, cutting my short as he looked around the place with profound irritation."Hey watch what you say," the warrior, who picked up an off

We mustn't keep your Alpha waiting, " he said, his lead warrior getting up too."Certainly we mustn't," I replied, taking a step backward and bumping on the guard that followed me."Are you alright, my lady?" he asked, jolting as he realized what he called me."My lady? Ha! the guard calls the seer a lady," one of the warrior standing close by mocked, the whole camping bursting into laughter."Enough! I won't have anyone of you make fun of the seer. Not now, not ever!" Raven roared, trying hard to top the laughter with her voice. She was successful as the laughter died almost immediately.Rowan just stared at me, almost expressionless as he watched what was going on. "You'd sit beside me in my chariot, if you wish. There's no much time left," he finally said, walking away from the fire."I think it's best to go with him," the guard w

Something just didn't feel right about all this, and I couldn't point it out.Rowan scoffed, a cloud of desperation hovering around his eyes. "What damn attack Karen? With the healing powers back we would rule the werewolf world and beyond!!" he roared, his claws sh

    Karen's POVHaving been in Redmoon pack for five days, hunting and eating with them, I was beginning to feel sick of it all.I waited, day after day and night after night for news from the party of packs that attacked Moonstone pack, but nothing was coming forth."Battles take days, sometimes weeks," Rowan would always say. " Give them time Karen. Moonstone pack would be in our palms in just a matter of days, Selena dead!!"I always felt relieved whenever he talked about the death of Selena, but on the morning of the fifth day, I couldn't take it anymore."We need to get to them Rowan!! I can't stand this anymore," I said to him as soon as I got to his chamber.Still with his pipe, he turned his attention to me and puffed."Tell me Karen. What chance does Moonstone pack have to win the war waged against them? " he asked, taking in some more from the pipe.I shot a gaze at him, trying all I could to restrict the joyful smile that tried to form on my face."They have no chance Rowan...

Never must you attack anyone here in Redmoon pack, " the voice repeated, louder than the last. I was still trying to open my eyes but I felt a surge of confusion as I did so.The voice was familiar, and as I struggled to make out who it was, I finally looked up.It was Rowan. What was he up to this time, I wondered within me.His face was twisted in a snarl and as he raised his hand, my eyes dilated."You!!!" he started to roar as his hand descended towards me.As if in cue, my wolf stirred almost immediately and before his hand could get to me, I had already grabbed it in a quick reflex.Fully awake, I roared at him. "Don't you dare!!" I got up from what I figured out to be a bed and stared at him, wondering where all that came from.My

    Chapter 206The battlefield was filled with chaos. The entire place was filled with the cry of my men as they fell to the ground, bloodied, bruised and some dead. Growls and the sound of flesh being cut tore through the thick air and the scent of blood and churned earth filled the entire atmosphere. My gaze swept over the field, my claws withdrawn from my hands as I watched the rest of Rowan's deserters close in on us, large swords, axes and arrows by their side, the sharp metal gleaming in the weak light of dawn. That was why they seemed endless. They were just dying, but more were diverging from the war with Zane go come here. A low growl escaped my lips, my face squeezing into a deep frown as I jumped down from my horse. One of the warriors rode towards me, a bow and arrow in their hand. The arrow was shot towards me but I quickly grabbed it midair and threw it back at him. Before he could register what was happening, the sharp metal sunk into his head and he dropped down dead.

    Selena's POVBefore the sun had even begun to rise, I had already rounded up the warriors who had pledged to fight with me. The morning air held a stale scent that seemed fresh of combat and blood, a harsh reminder of the war that still laid ahead of us. I stood at the center of the packs training fields, and with me were the warriors—men and women who had previously been divided but now were with me. They had a mixture of determination and skepticism in their eyes. I knew there were those who still doubted, but I could not allow skepticism to take root among us."Mount your horses," I commanded, my voice firm. "We ride out now."They took their places, marching to the stables where our horses already waited saddled and prepared. I had ordered the stable lads to ensure that each horse was in prime order for the forthcoming long ride and they had toiled all through the night to do so. Fresh hay mixed with morning due, the sound of waiting hooves, and the sweat of warriors fastening

    Selena’s POVAs we approached, the guards stationed at the gates of Mysticshadow Pack immediately tensed, their hands tightening around the weapons they held by their side. The lit torches hung on the wall flickered in the night, casting ominous shadows on their stern faces. I could see the hesitation in their eyes. They seemed like new guards as I didn't recognize them, but from their scent, I knew they were one of us.I knew they recognized me, but there was some underlying tension in their gazes as they stared at me. I knew something had happened since I had last stepped foot here.But they still knew better than make a move. “Halt!” one of them commanded, stepping forward, his claws half drawn. His sharp gaze scanned me from head to toe. “State your business.”“Are you dumb?” I muttered through clenched teeth as I walked towards the guard. “I came to gather alliances. The Moonstone Pack is under siege, and we must unite to stop the war.”The guard hesitated for a moment when he

    Zane's POVIt was a scene from a battlefield, the packhouse transformed into a killing ground. And I, Zane, was powerless to stop it. All I could do was watch in horror as my pack, my friends, and my family were slaughtered before my very eyes.The flaming arrows seemed to come from everywhere, a relentless barrage of fire that seemed to never end. It was as if the very stars themselves were falling from the sky, each one a deadly missile aimed straight at our hearts.And I, Zane, was the only one who could stop it. But how? The question echoed through my mind, a desperate cry for help that seemed to go unanswered.I wished at that point that Selena would just walk in with her warriors.We desperately needed them. I sighted a flaming arrow travelling towards an elderly werewolf who used his back to protect his offsprings. It was travelling towards him with speed."Look out!!" I roared, but he was too old to move, to weak to. Rushing towards him, I stretched my hand and grabbed the ar

    Zane's POVI took a step forward, my eyes burning with intensity. "We will not go quietly into the night. We will not roll over and surrender to our enemies. We will fight, with every ounce of strength we possess. We will fight for our pack, for our families, and for our very lives."The crowd erupted into a chorus of cheers and applause, their faces set with determination and their eyes burning with a fierce hunger for battle. I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and purpose wash over me.We would fight, and we would win. We would defend our pack, and our way of life. We would emerge victorious, or we would die trying.I was still filled with such encouragment and purposeful passion that I hadn't felt since I was a young child when a warrior from the borders ran up to one of the elders.I knew that something wasn't right, and as I waited for words to reach me, I looked up to the sky. My mind suddenly drifted to a distant past,very distant."You can tell it all by looking up in the nigh

Karen was no longer considered as a sister, and she would dearly pay for all these,but first, I have several battles to win.I walked back to the large hall, and I watched as the healers tried all they could to revive the fallen warriors."We're nothing without the seer," one of the healers said softly as I approached her, her eyes fixed pleadingly on me."What's the situation?" I asked, squatting beside her and paying a dead ear to her earlier complaint."I've found his pulse Alpha," she said in a whisper, placing her hand on the guard's wrist and shutting her eyes slowly. "His wolf is fully alive!!""So?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows as I stared at her. " What stops you then?"She looked down dejectedly, her face long. "We all have tried, but it just doesn't work!! It's a strange art of healing to trigger his wolf to charge a pulse in his heart. "I let out a breath, glancing at the guard and
