The Alpha King pondered her reply for a moment. It was obvious to him that Aurora loved Alpha Magnus."That's quite admirable, if a little reckless given the current political climate", The King replied. "If you continue to heal the wolves, you could be placing yourself in harm's way, Aurora."I know it may seem foolish, but I feel that my purpose is here. I must help heal Alpha Magnus and those who were wounded in the recent battle", Aurora replied. "The wolves are all part of various wolf packs, and as such, they deserve to be treated with dignity."The King was impressed by her dedication to the cause."Very well then", He said. "You will continue to treat Alpha Magnus and those who were injured in the recent battle. However, you will be under constant surveillance, so don't think you can get away with any funny business", He added."Thank you, Your Majesty", Aurora said."I want you to keep your wits about you, Aurora", The Alpha king replied. "There is still a threat lurking out

Hyperion's heart pounded as he rushed through the darkened forest towards Silverwood, his determination fueling each step. He had to warn Rey and Lucius about the impending danger and the treachery within their pack.As he arrived at Silverwood, he found Rey and Lucius deep in their training with Seraphina. He didn't want to disturb their session, but the urgency of the situation left him with no choice. He approached them cautiously, making sure they noticed his presence without startling them.Rey and Lucius turned to face Hyperion, their eyes widening with surprise at his sudden appearance. "Hyperion, what brings you here?" Rey asked, sensing the urgency in his demeanor."I have important information that you both need to know," Hyperion said, his voice low and urgent. "Deucalion is planning to unleash dark creatures throughout the realm, causing chaos and confusion. He seeks to steal the power of the Black Beast and rise to dominance."Rey and Lucius exchanged worried glances, rea

"What do you mean?", Seraphina asked."I had to make the decision, Lucian burdened me with that task. You were not supposed to be in this battle, you are not supposed to die or hurt", Hyperion said."How did he know I wouldn't die?", Seraphina asked."He didn't know, but he trusted me to do it right and I knew you wouldn't", Hyperion said. "I was not wrong about that"Seraphina felt a lump in her throat and she choked on a sob. "So you knew? This entire time? How?"Hyperion paused before answering. "I have known for all this time. I have been keeping watch over you Seraphina""Why? Why did you keep this from me? How could you?", Seraphina asked angrily."I had to keep an eye on you, I had to ensure you were safe from harm", Hyperion said. "The only way for me to have done it was to make you believe I betrayed you, there was no other way. Everyone had to believe it or they would have found out about the truth.""And you betrayed me and let me believe you were a traitor!", Seraphina sho

They lay there, holding each other for a long time. They stayed like that, just staring into each other's eyes."I love you, Hyperion", Seraphina said, a tear rolling down her cheek. "I love you""I love you too, Seraphina," Hyperion said, as he wiped away the tear."I don't want to have to loose you again", Seraphina said"Don't worry, I am not going anywhere," Hyperion replied, kissing her on the cheek."It is time for you to leave the forest, you have to confront Jade because Rey and Lucius won't succeed without you. You have to stop Jade once and for all", Hyperion said."But what if we fail? What if I cannot defeat her? She has power and knowledge unlike anyone in the realm and her magic matches mine""You are the only one who can defeat her, no one else", Hyperion said. "You are stronger than her, I believe in you and so did Lucian and Elara. They lay down their lives believing in you""I know, but I cannot do this without you. Please don't leave me", Seraphina pleaded."You hav

Rey turned back, a smile playing on her lips. "Not at all. Everything's fine."Lucius looked around, concern etched on his face. "I'm not sure what's wrong, but I know it is my duty to protect the pack and you, so if something is troubling you please tell me"Rey stopped walking, facing Lucius with an inquiring gaze. "We'll deal with whatever comes up as it comes. I'm worried, but I also trust that our pack will face this together.""Everything is happening so fast, most our friends are hurt or still under compulsion. I can't even begin to fathom how we'll save the realm or stop the war" , Lucius said."We have to keep moving forward" Rey said. "If we don't, we won't even have a chance at saving the pack."As they walked into the house, Luna walked up to them and smiled ever so subtly to conceal her worry."Welcome, the two of you need to see this", Luna said.Lucius and Rey quickly exchanged glances and then accompanied Luna to a room where they found a patch of skin with a tattoo of
