Mia's POV

A 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. The flames on his hair were hot but they were not unbearable and they died down as he held me and kissed me back. It took all my willpower to break free from him and let us breath. Strands of sticky saliva trailed our lips as we parted and I was flushed up to my ears, breathless.

"Mia?" 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. "But I guess could say that an eyeball helped me

    Mia's POVI came back from one of the neighbor's gardens that I was asked to work on, only to meet my parents and my sister sitting in the little courtyard. They were too busy having a family timeout that my presence was unrecognized. "Mum, Dad, I'm home!" I said happily as I skipped towards them only to meet the shock of my eye. All my boxes of gifts were outside and my mother was selecting stuff from them carefully.I stood in front of my parents and tried to fight back my tears as I watched them take everything that belongs to me and hand it over to my little sister."What's going on mother?" I asked but she only glared at me and didn't utter a word.The pain I felt from being mocked by others for the mere fact that all my mates have wolfed out and I still haven't, was nothing compared to the pain I felt when my parents constantly reminded me of how I am so much of a disappointment to them."But Mum, I really loved that dress…"I whispered in tears as I clenched my fists and sobbe

    Mia's POV"Xavier, come on, let's go to the lake." I said gleefully as I approached his courtyard. He lives alone in his not so big house, ever since his parents died."I'm not sure I can make it today Pixie, I have a lot on my plate right now. I'm so sorry" I hung my head in disappointment and sat on one of the benches for some time."My mother caught me sneaking in last night" I said and smiled to cover my pain."What! What did she do?" He asked."Well, nothing new. She just gave me some extra work and she wanted to seize the box but someone came looking for her.By the time she got back I already exchanged the contents in the box" I replied."That was very close! I'm really sorry I can't go to the lake with you today. You'll just have to go without me…" he said and I shrugged my shoulders and left.The path to the lake was cold and lonely. I barely came here alone and the last time I did, it's been a long time now.I skipped and twirled around as I got to the lake and splashed wat

    Xavier's povI finally summoned up the courage to confront my lover, Mia. Brushing my hair to one side and making sure to straighten out my clothes, I grabbed the bunch of flowers I picked out yesterday and headed to her house.I decided to go to her when nobody else was at home, so I could have all of her attention to myself."Hey Miaaa…." I said smiling as I walked up to her in the garden and leaned over to kiss her forehead."Hey Xavy, come sit. I have so much to tell you…" she said happily and I tried to guess what could be so exciting but I couldn't so I just decided to let her speak."Well I have exciting news too, but I'll let you go first" I replied and took a seat beside her."Guess what happened at the lake yesterday?" She asked and clasped her palms together."If I could guess then, I won't be waiting for you to finish your sentence now, would I?" I asked and placed my hand on her shoulder."I met Hazel!" I paused for some time and tried to recall who else could be bearing

I said to myself and rode even faster."Where have you been, my child?" My mother asked as I walked into the enormous ball room."I just took a little walk outside, nothing important.." I replied and leaned over to kiss her cheek."Well your father has been looking everywhere for you. The elders came in today, in search of you" she said and I rolled my eyes.All these meetings were already beginning to tire me but I have no other choice. It's what I signed up for. "Where are they?"

    Mia's POVI wrung my hands in despair and paced around my room. On my bed were scattered assorted articles of clothing. I didn't know which to wear. All of them seemed too shabby to wear to the palace. However, the clothes were only part of the problem. I was very excited yesterday when Hazel invited me to the palace. But after my visit to Xavier, I couldn't help but get nervous. It suddenly dawned on me who Hazel really was. Of course, I had known he was the successor to the alpha, and the prince of our kingdom. But meeting him away from the palace, in my own environment, had somehow made it a distant knowledge. It was somewhere in the back of my mind, but never acknowledged. And now I got the invitation and I'm forced to acknowledge it, I have lost my confidence. Was I worthy to be in the palace? Do I know how to act? Would the nobility there like me?Such questions continued running through my mind throughout yesterday, which was the reason I didn't honor the invitation till tod

    Mia's POVThe castle loomed ahead. I almost felt like telling Hazel to stop, but I didn't want to risk his ire. Not after he saw me with Xavier in that position. For some reason, I was feeling very awkward because he caught me crying on Xavier's shoulder. He hadn't even reacted. Just raised an eyebrow and asked me who my friend was. I introduced them, and they seemed pretty friendly with each other. And Hazel has been nothing but nice and sweet ever since. But it only made me all the more awkward, with the result that our conversation was a little strained. I sighed internally. I wished I could just play my flute, it always calms me. And I was with it, because Hazel had requested I bring it along. So, obviously, I was going to play sometime today. Maybe in front of an audience. "Hey, relax, Mia. You're biting your lips again," Hazel told me, smiling gently. I smiled nervously and tried to relax, taking a deep breath to help me. Okay, Mia. You got this, calm down. I told myself.

    Mia's POVI watched with some trepidation as the lady marched right up to me so that the tip of our noses almost touched."Do you hear me?" she growled. Her eyes turned dark with rage, and I could see her wolf was so close to the surface, which sent me from trepidation to downright fear. "You stay away from my boyfriend. Who are you anyway?" She repeated, jabbing a finger at my chest. I took some steps back when the aura of her wolf's aggression washed over me in waves that had me suppressing a shudder. I knew a wolf protecting her territory when I saw one, and this one was doing so. Viciously. Why hadn't Hazel told me he has a girlfriend? Or was he just playing with me? Was I just some amusement to him? I felt my heartbreak at the thought. Lumps rose in my throat and tears sprang to my eyes. Through the corner of my eyes, I saw Hazel stand up. There was rage on his handsome face, rage I never thought could be there. "I…I…I didn't know he's your boyfriend —" I stuttered. "Of co

    Hazel's POVI was literally walking on clouds as I strolled down the hallway. Everything was suddenly much more beautiful. The tapestries, the paintings, the ornaments, the chandeliers. Everywhere was full of vibrant colors and exhilarating scents. I suddenly found myself humming a tune. Formerly, I wouldn't have dared to hum in the hallway, as it wasn't befitting of a prince if a maid or servant should see him. But at the moment, I didn't care. I felt I would burst if I didn't let out the joy in some way. I was looking out from an arrow slit, savoring the beauty of the evening sky when I heard horse hooves, followed shortly by the sound of the portcullis being raised. I knew it was my parents, back from the wild goose chase I had sent them. But I don't care, even though I knew it was likely my father would flay me. Nothing could dampen the joy in my heart. As a matter of fact, I thought I had better meet them head on and break the news. Perhaps, that way, I may be able to diffuse

    Mia's POV"Yeah," I grinned at her. "Now please someone tell me what is going on? 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. It is a wand in beneath his throne."I smiled at her and gazed out at the Sulfur Hands gathered. I did not see Lycidas but that was not a problem. I was certain he was alright."Well guys, it is the night of the blood moon. I have to tell you that I've got a castle to storm so come on out all of you and get away already.

The blade sank deep into its flesh, eliciting a guttural roar of pain as the creature thrashed and writhed beneath me. Each movement was a dance of desperation, a desperate bid for survival against an opponent that seemed unstoppable.But even as I fought with all the strength and skill I could muster, I could feel the tendrils of exhaustion creeping into my limbs, sapping my strength and clouding my thoughts. How many times had I faced this creature? How many times had I died, only to wake and face it once again?The creature's death throes were violent and chaotic, its massive form convulsing with the last vestiges of life as it fought against the inevitable. But I was relentless, my resolve unshakeable as I drove the knife deeper and deeper into its flesh, refusing to let up until the creature lay still and silent beneath me.With a final, ragg

    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

    Amelia's POVI sat in the room with Alpha Gonzales and the injured Alpha Fenrir, my mind consumed by a whirlwind of thoughts and worries. The conversation between the two Alphas drifted in and out of my consciousness, the words fading into the background as I struggled to focus on the present moment.My thoughts kept returning to the letter I had received just before setting off with Alpha Gonzales—a missive that had filled me with a sense of foreboding unlike anything I had ever experienced before. The words were etched into my mind, haunting me with their ominous implications.In my mind's eye, I saw the image of the small mouse, my faithful messenger, as it hurried into my room with urgent purpose. Its tiny paws had trembled as it presented me with the letter, a sense of urgency emanating from its very being. With trembling hands, I had broken the seal and unfolded the parchment, my heart sinking as I read the words inscribed upon it.The once cryptic message had become alarmingly
