Lycidas' POV

As I faced off against the first bear, its massive form looming over me with bared teeth and a predatory gleam in its eyes, I braced myself for the battle ahead.

I answer to Alpha Phelan only and you would not dare cross him," he said."Oh, is the fool now eager to establish his relationship with the Silver Hands?""I answer to Alpha Phelan," he repeated."No, fool. You answer to me."I stood before the iron bars of the cell, and the prisoner's gaze locked onto mine with a mixture of defiance and disdain.

    Hazel's POVThe tavern's wooden door creaked open, allowing a sliver of dim light to spill into the smoky interior. I stepped inside, my heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. The air was thick with the scent of ale and the murmurs of patrons, their voices blending together in a cacophony of noise.I scanned the room discreetly, my eyes searching for any sign of the man I had come here to find. As my gaze swept across the room, I spotted him - an old man seated alone at a table in the corner, his weathered features illuminated by the flickering glow of candlelight. There was an aura of wisdom about him, a quiet confidence that marked him as someone of significance.I had received information about Zion's whereabouts from Kalis, a man whose loyalty to Alpha Phelan had once been - and kind of still was - unwavering.

    Hazel's POVI chuckled, leaning back in my chair as I adopted an air of nonchalance. "No game, just looking for a capable person to do some thing," I replied with a shrug. The old man's lips quirked in a semblance of a smile, though his eyes remained guarded. "You think I would buy that? Who sent you? The Sulfur Hands? Well, whoever it is, tell them that they can shove whatever they want to tell me in a place where light does not reach.""No one sent me," I grinned, taking a sip of my drink as I considered my next move. "Well, truth be told, I've heard some rather interesting things about you, Zion," I began, my voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "They say you're a man of considerable talent, with a knack for the unnatural arts. And I must admit, I find myself rather intrigued."Zion's eyes narrowed, a flicker of suspicion crossing his weathered features. "And what exactly do you want from me, boy?" he asked, his tone sharp.I leaned in closer, lowering my voice to a hushed

    Mia's POVA stone struck true, pulverizing the creature's eye with a sickening crunch. With a howl of agony, the wolf collapsed to the ground, its lifeblood staining the earth beneath it. As the last vestiges of life faded from its eyes, I breathed evenly and transformed back. Running up quickly, I jumped and kissed my mate.

He breathed, looking at me in surprise.I would have grinned at him if I were not too busy being stunned."Xavier?!" I exclaimed. "What in the world?! How? I thought...""You never did see me without my turban," he teased. And he was right come to think of it."So the memory loss...""I did lose my memory," he said, shaking his head.

How did everyone get here?""There is little time for that," Amelia said, a scary amount of hope alight in her eyes. "Alpha King Hazel has gone mad and he is turning people left and right corrupted." I could see that everyone was surprised to hear this. But the forest itself whispered to me that she spoke the truth. "But he also has a way to cure the corruption.

    Hazel's POVAs I stand in the dimly lit chamber, the vial of corrupted blood held delicately between my fingers, I can feel the weight of expectation bearing down upon me. Zion's eyes bore into me with a pensive gaze, his expression unreadable as he observes my every move. The air is heavy with anticipation, charged with the possibility of what is to come.With a steady hand, I bring the vial to my lips and drink deeply, allowing the thick, viscous liquid to slide down my throat. The taste is metallic, tinged with a hint of something dark and otherworldly. But as the last drop passes my lips, I feel no surge of power, no sudden transformation. I am not surprised.I never expected the corrupted blood to grant me any sort of supernatural abilities. My purpose in drinking it was not to gain power, but to align myself with the prophecy, to force my way into its narrative. And in that regard, I believe I have succeeded.As I lower the vial, I meet Zion's gaze with a sense of calm resolve.

    ???'s POV Amidst the vast expanse of the celestial realm, I found myself floating among the stars, my consciousness adrift in a sea of cosmic wonders. Suddenly, a commanding voice reverberated through the void, pulling me from my reverie with its otherworldly resonance."Little thing," the voice called out, its words echoing through the cosmos like the distant rumble of thunder. Startled, I responded tentatively, my voice barely a whisper in the vastness of space. "Who... who's there?"I was ignored as the voice continued to speak. I listened intently as the voice spoke of the troubles that plagued mortals, of the ebb and flow of life, and of the chaos that reigned in the mortal realm. The voice seemed to ramble on for a while, its words swirling around me like a whirlwind of cosmic energy. It spoke of mortals and their endless troubles, of how they always seemed to find new ways to bring chaos and destruction upon themselves. It seemed rather easy to notice that it was the 'eyeball'

    ???'s POVI opened my mouth to protest, to demand answers to the questions that burned within me, but she cut me off with a dismissive wave of her hand. "I don't want to hear it," she said coldly, her gaze hardening as she turned away from me. "Just go. Leave me alone. Go do whatever you want to. I don't care. My Lycidas is not here. Please, just... Stop. You truly are not Lycidas. I do not know who you are, but you are not my beloved."I stood there in stunned silence, the weight of her words hanging heavy in the air between us. Part of me wanted to press her for answers, to demand to know what she meant by all of this. But another part of me knew that it was futile – that she would not deign to repeat herself. And even though I could not claim to know much else, I knew somehow that she was hundred percent certain that I was not Lycidas. And not in a character or behavioural kind of way. As in, I was fundamentally not Lycidas.With a heavy heart, I turned and walked away, the sound o

    Lycidas' POVThe soft glow of moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle illumination over Mia's room as I sat by her bedside, my fingers intertwined with hers as if holding onto a lifeline. The rhythmic rise and fall of her chest was the only indication of life, her face serene in slumber as she lay unconscious before me.I never realized how much I would miss her until now – the absence of her laughter, her vibrant energy, leaving a gaping hole in my heart that seemed impossible to fill. And yet, here she lay, so close yet so far, trapped in the grasp of an unknown darkness that threatened to consume her whole.I squeezed her hand gently, willing her to wake up, to return to me so that I could see the light in her eyes once more. But no matter how fervently I wished for her recovery, she remained still, her breathing steady but shallow, a silent reminder of the fragility of life.My mind drifted back to that fateful night when the ritual had gone awry, the memory of t
