As nightfall descended, I carefully tiptoed through the house, leaving a note for my mom in my room, informing her that I would be out with Sarah for a party. I doubt she'd read it.

I quickly got ready, choosing a flowing dress that shimmered under the moonlight, accentuating its vibrant colors. I added a touch of light makeup and let my hair cascade in loose waves around my shoulders. Satisfied with my appearance, I quietly made my way downstairs, cautious not to make any noise to attract attention.

Following the plan Adrian and I had devised earlier that day, I waited in the corridor near his chambers. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and my instincts kicked in. I quickly turned and pushed the person to the floor ready to stomp on his stomach, only for me to realize that it was Adrian.

My cheek grew hot red in embarrassment, "Oh no, I'm so sorry…"

I helped him get up slowly and he dusted his shirt.

"It's alright, you really have fast reflexes.

"You scared me." I exclaimed. "

    My eyes were deceiving me. It was only Sandra standing there.Adrian and I exchanged knowing glances. We shared an understanding and with a tint of blush on my cheeks, I quickly pulled farther away from Adrian, feeling embarrassed and awkward.I glanced at Sarah, desperately hoping she wouldn't pry into our intimate moment. However, she did just that. "What's going on between you two?" she asked slyly, a mischievous spark in her eyes.I feigned ignorance, trying to play it cool. "Nothing. We were just enjoying the peacefulness by the stream."Adrian sensed what was going on and excused himself.Sarah wasn't convinced and persisted. "Come on, Lily. I can see it in your eyes. There's something more going on here, isn't there?"I stood up feeling uncomfortable, avoiding her gaze. "Sarah, really, it's nothing. Let's not make a big deal out of it."Sensing my discomfort, Sarah changed the topic, "I heard about Audrey being a bitch to you…"It almost came like a kick in my gut. Of course s

    The riddle or prophecy or whatever it was I read the previous night couldn't leave my memory.I kept on saying it to myself, to me almost turning myself to a self-indulged lunatic.Was I making progress? Nope. I asked Sandra to help me search it up, but she gave no results. I also checked it online myself but there was no sensible result.It was on my call with Sandra she had told me something which would go on to disturb me throughout the day.I noticed Don was awfully quiet that day and less of a nuisance. That was definitely a bad sign. He was busy talking to a Beta beside the detached building and I decided to approach him. I wanted to ask him about what Sarah told me, of him telling her that he knows about the secret Adrian and I were hiding and why I was protecting Adrian. What exactly does he mean by that and what does he know?I walked towards Don, my heart pounding with anger and frustration. Whatever he was up to, I needed to find out. I couldn't let him get away with it. I

    The morning sun spilled its golden rays over the training field as I made my way to join Jaxon, my mind still consumed by the discovery of the hidden artifact and the secrets it held. I approached him, trying to maintain my playfulness, though my eagerness to uncover the truth was evident in my eyes."Hey, Jax," I greeted with a playful smile, hoping to catch him off guard. "Had a good night's rest?" He was busy arranging some firearms."Hardly.""Why?" He raised an eyebrow at me."Hey Jax, have you ever heard of an ancient werewolf artifact?" Jaxon paused in his movements, his eyes meeting mine in a momentary exchange of curiosity. He chuckled lightly, amused by my sudden interest in artifacts."Why are you suddenly so interested in that?""Cause I am."He looked at me with a sly smile, "Are you sure you've not been snooping around?"My cheeks flushed, "No, what are you saying? Just tell me if you have or not.""Fine, the artifact…." he replied, contemplating. "People used to talk

    I followed behind my father as he stormed to his study room. I thought of what to do to desolve the issue because I knew it would turn to something worse very soon. Nothing came to my mind and that made the desperations I felt grip me harder."Father, please, hear me out. Please forgive me for this. It was my fault. It was all my fault. I'll take all the punishment. Adrian is not to blame please…" I pleaded with him, but my words fell on deaf ears."Do you even know who that man is?! You have no idea who he is and you were there involving yourself shamelessly with him?! Do you know his family, where he came from?!! You're acting so loose!" My father yelled at me."Father, please just hear me out…""Hear what?!""Please just spare his life. I will take all the punishment. I admit I did wrong…" All my pleas were drowned out by my father's furious shouts."Why do you have no shame? To embarrass me like that in front of an elder?!" he bellowed, his face twisted with anger. "I…I'm sorry,

    There was nothing I could say in defence.She grabbed my hand and shook my limb, "Get a hold of yourself! What is this man turning you into?! I know we raised you better than this! If your father finds out about this, you know he'd ground you for weeks.., why be foolish, Lily?!"She threw my hand away and faced Adrian. "And you, I don't know what spell you cast on my daughter. I'd make sure you'd face due judgement for the havoc you want to cause in this grove. We gave you shelter and food and you repay us in this manner?"Adrian looked down and stepped aside from me. My mouth and heart were tied. I realized the consequences of my actions. Adrian was right…I didn't even think things through. I had made the situation worse.I thought I could outsmart the watchful eyes of my parents, but now I had been caught in the act.I knew my mom would still ground me so I just took a step back, ashamed to look at Adrian."Guards!!" Some men came rushing in minutes later to take hold of Adrian.My

    It had been days since "that stuff" occured. I had not been able to sit with, needless to say, see Adrian. He'd been in his chambers or on the docks/field with the generals, excluding Jaxon. I had been confined to my room, as my mother would have it, and had been trying to make due with it, even though every single day felt dragged and boring. The day Tyler visited, after being away on a mission, he had already heard of the news and started his cockiness. Though, my dad let me out that day, it was even worse because I had to meet Tyler and watched as he behaved like a dork throughout the day towards Adrian.With Adrian transformed into a Limean werewolf, the dynamics within the pack began to shift. Tyler, sensed an opportunity to assert his superiority over Adrian as he was always seeking dominance and power over everything and everybody, just like Don. Don.The bastard.I hadn't been able to see him since the day he last smirked evilly at me. If I were to set my eyes on him, I pro

    After that terrifying incident on the training field that night, Adrian seemed to be reclusive. He only apologized for what happened the night after, but since then, he kept to himself and stopped coming afterwards. He told me he was sorry for making me afraid that night but stopped even looking at me. He chose to retreat to his chambers, only coming out when he's summoned for work. This left me bewildered and full of worry.Days turned into nights, and still, Adrian remained secluded, avoiding any interaction with me. He didn't need to explain what had happened that night as he looked visibly confused too after it happened, but with the way he behaved afterwards, it only made me wander. I couldn't help but feel sadness and confusion deep within my heart.Why was he pushing me away? What had happened when he was alone in his chambers? What had he made himself believe that makes for his behaviour to me after that night?Each passing day only made me more concerned I found myself restl

    Another week had passed. Tyler and Audrey visited for sometime again, for reasons I didn't want to know, and Adrian had been more quiet than usual. I knew why but I wandered every night, not wanting to sleep, if things would go back to normal after what we had both realized. Adrian has become a hybrid.It was a secret I would keep to myself and one Adrian and I would both share. He hadn't burst into a transformation ever since the last time and he'd been trying to hone his new found truth and powers. That was something really admirable about him. Not letting the unexpected twist of things depress him, but making the most out of it.Though, I felt Adrian's conflicted view of being part his kind and part a kind who hates his kind, I wish this would've happened to him not during an era where the hatred between our kinds were too profound. I constantly wished things would get less complicated, but I had helped a vampire - the greatest taboo a pack hunter can commit, so what could I expec

    *Tyler's POV*I didn't even know it was a dream until I woke up later on.In the dream, Lily, Sarah, Theo and I were discussing our next steps to finding a way to stop more vampires from entering our boundary. We were in the main room. Suddenly, darkness loomed over the grove and I saw through the window, Audrey walking towards the pack with an eerie black fog enveloping her every step.The dark fog surrounded her, and her eyes glowed with an unnatural intensity. "Well, well, well, look who decided to show up," she sneered.We all immediately became alarmed and ran outside.Lily stepped forward, her gaze steady. "What do you want, Audrey?" she demanded."Oh, just to have a little chat with my former friends," Audrey replied, her voice dripping with venom. "You see, I've come to realize that I'm better off without all of you."I felt a surge of anger rise within me. "You betrayed us, Audrey," I said, "We trusted you, and you turned your back on us."Audrey laughed mockingly. "Trust is

    The evening was spooky, with fog all around as Leo and Ethan went into the caves. They had to find that medallion so they could be given another chance at summoning their demon lord.Ethan who was also confused as to why their search had changed asked Leo, "I didn't want to seem too inquisitive but I wanted to ask why we're no longer looking for the journal and ring but for…a medallion?""You're so simple minded, Ethan. It is not just any medallion. It is the Bodessa medallion, forged from the breasts of the goddess Odessa hersel, the same breasts the demon Lord rested on and slept with. It is the only artifact that can immediately summon the demon Lord upon calling from it, without waiting for centuries to get a single chance which one may likely flop at."Ethan decided not to ask any more questions but just follow and wait. It was pretty obvious their alliance wasn't strong, and they both had their secret plans.When they reached where the medallion should be, according to what Lily

    FLASHBACK *Ethan's POV*"What did you just say?" Pablo's eyes narrowed."I am not doing anything you say until you tell me what you did to Jaxon."My heart pounded in my chest as I stood in front of Pablo. I couldn't hold back any longer as anger and frustration boiled through me. I needed answers, and I deserved to know the truth."I taught him a lesson…a lesson he would never forget." He said and licked the edge of his blade. He went on to say more but I could barely listen with a straight face."Pablo, how could you do that to Jaxon?" My voice trembled with emotion. "He would do anything for you yet you'd hurt him.""Apparently not everything…" Pablo's expression remained stoic, and he spoke in a calm, detached tone. "I did what was necessary for the greater good of our mission," he replied, his words echoing with an unsettling sense of righteousness."The greater good?" I spat, unable to contain my anger any longer. "You manipulated Jaxon, you didn't value him. You used him.""He

    As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and purple, Sarah and Theo rode their bikes along the winding forest trail. It had been a pleasant afternoon, and they were looking forward to reaching the safety of the grove before nightfall.The warm sun illuminated the forest around them, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Birds chirped cheerfully, and a gentle breeze rustled through the leaves. "You're going too fast, Sarah! There's a cliff ahead!" Theo shouted at Sarah who was ahead of him. He was laughing out loud and so was she."I know, dad!" They came into a halt and mounted their bikes. They both walked arm in arm to the cliff and gazed at the rocks down with the amazing greeny ahead."Wow." Sarah exclaimed and rested her head on his shoulder. They took in the beauty and Theo teased her each time he pushed her forward as if he wanted to throw her down."Stop it!." She yelped and hit him continuously but he chuckled.However, their tranquility was

He was trying to understand what had happened and how to deal with it all.Ethan, standing a few feet away, seemed hesitant, but he was determined to make his point known. "Pablo, I understand your frustration, but you have to see that Jaxon had his reasons for leaving," he said, his voice steady but uneasy.Pablo halted his restless pacing and turned to face Ethan, his eyes burning with intensity. "His reasons? A petty argument is what caused all of this?" he exclaimed, his voice rising in pitch. "We are a team, a family, and we should

    *Tyler's POV*As the pack faced the threat of the vampire coven, I knew we had to act quickly. The elders gathered in the council chamber. It was obvious they were worried about our safety.With resolve, I approached the council. As the new head general and semi Alpha, I felt responsible for protecting our pack. We needed to strengthen our defenses and prepare for the upcoming attack. I was determined to do whatever it took to keep everyone safe."Brothers and sisters, Elders and generals," I addressed the council, my voice firm and resolute, "we cannot afford to be complacent. The vampires are growing bolder with each passing day, and we must be prepared to defend our home and our people. Theo, one of the pack hunters alerted me a few days ago about some vampires conspiring to attack the grove days before the war finally happens as a means to weaken our stronghold and will before the battle.

    *Theo's POV*The night air was cool and crisp. I had decided to confess my feelings to Sarah tonight. It was the perfect time and perfect place. Tyler had given me advice earlier that day,"Just look into her eyes, hold her hands and let it flow."Sounds easier said than done.She had gone to wear a overcoat because of the cold weather so I tried practicing the lines I had come up with it."Sarah…oh no no no..Uhum. Sarah, I just want to tell you that you're the best person I've ever met in a…no no no! Too generic." I slapped my forehead. At this point, I'd just swallow myself."What's the matter?" I looked back and it was Sarah standing. Shit.She came to sit back beside me, "Why were you talking to yourself?""No, no, I wasn't …just trying to remember something." I said nervously."Trying to remember what?" She raised an eyebrow."Something."She laughed, "You're funny sometimes."The moon hung overhead like a shimmering pearl in the dark sky, casting a soft glow on Sarah's radiant f

    As the days passed, the tension in the grove seemed to increase slightly. Tyler had trained more warriors whilst my father and the elders planned how the impending war would play out to our favour. All in all, our unity grew stronger as we worked together to face the impending threat. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there was one thing that remained constant - the growing bond between Sarah and Theo.I often found myself stealing glances at them when they thought no one was looking. They had a unique connection that seemed to transcend the chaos surrounding us. Sarah and Theo made a great conflict. Sarah's determination and strength matched Theo's calm and thoughtful nature. When they were together, it felt like they brought comfort and hope in the midst of difficulties.One evening, as the sun set, I saw Sarah and Theo sitting in the garden. They were having a serious talk, speaking softly as if sharing special secrets only they could know. The beautiful sky above seemed to reflect

    Theo found Tyle in a quiet corner of the camp going through some documents. The fireflies around illuminated the dark scape. "Sir, we need to talk," He said, his voice steady but hued with nervousness.He looked up at him, "Oh Theo. I've told you to call me Tyler. There's no need to be formal. Come on sit."Theo did so. "Sorry, just used to calling you sir.""You're a friend to Lily, so you're a friend to me too." They shook hands."What is it?""Earlier today, I and some other pack hunters went out for a patrol and I decided to go farther to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. I saw a group of vampires and overheard them talking about an impending attack they were planning," I explained. "I know you have a lot on your plate, but I couldn't keep this information to myself. We need to be prepared."Tyler's expression became serious, and he nodded appreciatively. "Thank you for telling me, Theo.
