The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 24
Mia's POVGradually, I calmed down and the hand left me. I realized it wouldn't do for them to realize I was aware of their plans. If they realize it, then escaping may be too hard. Just then, I thought of something and fear rose in me again. If they were in my head, does that mean they could hear my thoughts? If so, that means they already knew of my plan to escape. 'Think!' I thought to myself. 'You have a fever, the girl said so. You're probably hallucinating,' But the girl, she was a rogue, wasn't she? What if she was lying? I had heard of rogues and their evil practices, trying to use people's wolves to get unnatural powers. So, talking in my head wouldn't be far-fetched.My thoughts swirled in a chaotic mess. I attempted to convince myself that it was all a fever-induced delusion, but the fragments of coherent thought eluded me."They can't be real. It's just a fever dream," I mumbled to myself, but the words lacked conviction.As I lay on the bed, the room seemed to spin, an
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 25
Chapter 25Mia's POVThe bear growled as it prowled towards me, totally ignoring the girl that lay bleeding some distance away. There was a deep gash on her shoulder blade from which blood flowed out, dripping into the small stream beside which she lay. The scream stuck in my throat as the bear prowled towards me. Fear surged through every fiber of my being as the bear advanced, its massive form casting a shadow over the forest floor. When it was a few yards from me, the scream finally tore out of my throat. With a speed and balance that surprised even myself, I turned on the point of my toes and fled. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, propelling me forward, crashing through the dense undergrowth in a desperate attempt to escape the impending danger. The forest blurred as I ran, my heart pounding in my ears. All I could think of was escaping, and perhaps, if I ran through thick parts of the forests, the trees might slow it down. Branches snagged at my dress, leaving scratches o
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 26
Mia's POVI woke to moonlight streaming in through a wide open door. I sat up groggily and looked around. The room was unfamiliar, and didn't look at all like a temple. Unconsciously, I heaved a sigh of relief.Now that the danger was last, I realised I wasn't quite as prepared to come under the knife as I had thought. Looking at the situation from eyes clear of danger, death under claws and death under a knife seemed awfully similar. As the tension I woke with seeped out of my bones, I realized I had the mother of migraines. Holding my head in both hands, I fell back on the sinfully soft bed. Normally, I would have wondered which kind of bed was it that was so soft, but my head threatened to split at even the slightest thoughts. Closing my eyes, I took deep breaths and tried to lessen the pain as far as I could. When a shadow fell across me, I opened my eyes. The woman that had saved me from the bear walked in. She was carrying a tray full of dishes. She set the tray on a small st
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 27
Mia's POV"Where are we going?" I asked Mabel. We had been walking for only ten minutes, but I was getting impatient. And my knees were getting weak. I realized I had not fully recovered from the fever, and would have been better off staying on the bed.But I brought this on myself and I wasn't about to regret it. Besides, Mabel had got me hooked. I had the feeling I was about to get the greatest revelation of my life, and I was sure that I would have been restless had I stayed on the bed. Better to get it over and done with now. "Where are we going?" I asked again when Mabel didn't reply the first time. "You will see," she replied. "Can't you tell me?" I asked, very curious. Mabel turned to face me. "Well, if you must know, we're going to drop off these dishes at my house,""Your house can't be what you're going to show me, can it?" I pointed out. "And after that, we're going to go see your parents." she said as though she never completed her first answer. The sentence hit me
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 28
Mia's POVMy head turned so fast my neck cricked. The pain shot right into my head, filling it up. But even holding my neck in pain, I still managed to gasp out"My father was the alpha of Blood Moon pack?" Mabel nodded solemnly. "That's right. You're a princess," I took a moment to absorb that revelation. I had been right; this was the revelation of my lifetime. When Mabel had called me the son of Alpha Megan and Luna Jessica yesterday morning, I had thought that perhaps, my parents were the alpha and Luna of another pack and I was their lost child. That was how I had imagined my lift from grass to grace whenever the pain from Penny became too much, after all. But now, Mabel is telling me that they had actually been the alpha and luna of my own pack, the pack where I was mistreated?"What happened to them then?" I asked. "How did they come to this state? Corrupted, is it?" Mabel sighed. "I will tell you when we are in the house. But for now, let's inculcate you into the horrors o
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 29
Two months laterUnknown POVFootsteps?I listened closely. Yes, footsteps. And it was coming this way. I quickly pulled the lower folds of my turban to cover my face. I wouldn't find it very pleasant if I were caught with my face exposed when I was supposed to be training. But even with the threat of punishment, I couldn't resist indulging myself. Soon, the footsteps came into the room and paused, and I knew whoever it was must be accessing me, trying to determine my level of alertness. "Who is that?" I asked, though my eyes were still closed. There was no answer, but I hadn't expected an answer. Neither did I expect an answer when I called out the second time."I know you're there. Identify yourself!" At last, I sighed. "If you don't identity yourself, you would be forced to fight me," Still no answer, just like I expected. Slipping a knife out of my sleeves, I threw it to the last spot I had heard the footsteps without even aiming. Subtly, very subtly, the person shifted some
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 30
Unknown POVI stood on a hill and looked down at the Blood Moon pack. From this distance, I could see the whole of the pack, though each city looked about the size of two palms. There were six cities in a horseshoe shape, surrounding the capital city. Between the cities and the capital city was a forest, running the whole curve of the horseshoe and spilling out at the open end into a very dense forest that stretched farther than my eyes could see. I have been told that in that forest resided a branch of the Sulfur Hands that consisted of just four women and two men. It has always fascinated me. How are they able to tarnish the silver in a medium sized pack with such a small number? I would have very much loved to visit that branch had I been left to my own devices, but that was not my destination. My destination was the capital city. According to the alpha, the very first part of the prophecy had stated that I must be completed before I can accomplish my destiny. And that my mate w
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 31
Unknown POVWhen I woke, I nearly leaped in shock. I had tried to keep half awake through the night in case some wild beasts got hungry, but I had fallen into deep sleep somehow without even knowing it. Sighing, I leaped down from the tree and returned to my human form. I thanked the goddess I had passed the night safely, though I slept deeply. I followed the sound of water to a clear stream which I used to rinse my mouth and wash my limbs. The water was a little cold from the recent snow, but it wasn't enough to bother me. After that, I chewed the mint leaves I had wrapped in the folds of my turban. It was time to continue the journey. I couldn't stop the excitement from building in me. I was so close to my dreams now. I had always dreamed about finding a mate, and now, it was about to happen. I just needed to cross the forest and I would be in the capital city. Changing my mind, I wolfed out and ran into the thick forest. Luckily, I didn't encounter any beast big enough to engage

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. 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 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. You've all done your part for me. Let me do mine for you."I saw them off and turned to face the vague direction of the palace.The eyeball (I could not get its name) had told me; Blood Moon prophecy Layer 5: The Inheritor shall
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 193
Mia's POVWith a surge of adrenaline, I plunged the knife into the creature's main body, my hands steady despite the trembling of my limbs. 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
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 192
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.
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 191
???'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'
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 190
???'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
The Blood Moon Ascendance Chapter 189
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
