THE FORGOTTEN WAR

Although the infirmary had a subtle lavender aroma, Lisa's senses were muted. As she forced her eyes open, her entire body ached like lead. At first, the little light hurt, but then she noticed him. Dominick, sitting next to her, relief and weariness etched on his features.Dominick leaned forward and whispered, "You're awake.""Hardly," Lisa whispered, her voice raspy. She looked into his eyes as she licked her parched lips. "How much time?""Two days," Dominick said, encircling her with his hand. Lisa, you frightened me. We all thought. He gulped hard as his voice broke.With a little smile, she gave his hand a feeble squeeze. "I'm present. I will not be leaving.As if he had been holding his air since the fight, Dominick let out a deep sigh. Before you fainted, you muttered a name. Darius.A rush of adrenaline shot through her veins as she heard the name, recalling her vision. Lisa shifted and winced at the rib discomfort. Dominick, it wasn't only Darius. Someone else is there.

JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN

Arms crossed, Dominick leaned against a downed tree and stared at Dorian. Across from him stood the scarred messenger, his hollowed face illuminated by the campfire. The tension between Dominick and Dorian was still present, but the pack had scattered to be ready for their next move.Dominick responded sharply, "So, tell me." "Why now? Why do you tell us about yourself?Using a stick, Dorian prodded the fire, sending embers soaring into the pitch-black night. With a flat tone, he stated, "Because time is running out." "Eryndor doesn't waste time moping about his injuries. He's on the move. Quickly."What is his desire?" Lisa, seated next to Dominick, inquired. Even though she was still frail, her resolve was unwavering and she refused to stay behind.When Dorian's eyes strayed to her, doubt obscured his face for the first time. "Manage. Strength. He differs from the rogues you have previously encountered. Eryndor wants an empire, not just mayhem. Additionally, he is beginning with the

THE SANCTUARY OF SHADOWS

Beneath the twisted roots of a huge tree that appeared to claw at the ground like a creature defending its victim, the sanctuary's entrance was hardly discernible. Dorian squatted close to the aperture, clearing away rubble to uncover a staircase leading down into the shadows."This is it," he murmured in a low, almost respectful manner. "The Shadow Sanctuary."With her eyes focused on the shadowy space below, Lisa tightened her hold on Dominick's arm. "It seems... incorrect," she said.Dominick gave a nod. The atmosphere surrounding the door was thick, suffocating, and tinged with a subtle hum that made his senses tingle. "Remain near me," he stated in a quiet but firm voice.Dorian gave them another look. There is no way out once we are inside. This place is alive, not just old. It will put us to the test."Test us in what way?" Lisa inquired in a cautious tone.Dorian looked at her glumly. It thrives on dread. It will reveal things to you and cause you to question yourself. It will

THE SACRIFICE

As he moved in front of Lisa, Dominick murmured in a broken voice, "Don't do this, Lisa." His golden eyes begged with hers as his hands tightened over her shoulders. "There must be an alternative.""There isn't," Lisa stated in a shaky yet determined voice. "You listened to the guardian." We are defenseless against Eryndor if we do not have this knowledge. Because we're scared to take chances, I won't allow more people to perish."It's more than just a chance!" Dominick became quite irritated. It's your life! You have no idea how this trial will affect you.Despite the confusion all around them, she gently cupped his face. "I am aware of the stakes. And if I fall, I know you'll get me back."That's not good enough!" he yelled, his voice resonating throughout the room. As though physically holding her would prevent her from sliding away, his grip became more firm. "Lisa, I can't let you go. Never again.Unshed tears glistened in Lisa's eyes, but her will remained unwavering. "I'm doing

THE RISING THREAT

When Dominick and Lisa returned, the packhouse was unnaturally quiet. Instead of the normal commotion of voices, footfall, and laughter, there was a heavy strain that lingered in the air like an impending storm.Marcus greeted them first, his face displaying a mixture of worry and relief. "You've returned. Give thanks to the Moon Goddess.As they entered, Dominick nodded and tightened his hold on Lisa's hand. "All people should come to the hall. We must speak.Marcus looked at Lisa and saw the tiredness in her eyes and the pale sheen on her skin. "Are you..."Lisa interrupted abruptly, but her voice faltered, "I'm fine." "There isn't time for inquiries. Just get everyone together.They were left alone in the entrance as Marcus nodded after he hesitated. Dominick's eyes softened as he turned to Lisa. "You must take a break. That trial.She interrupted him once more, saying, "I'll rest when this is over." When she noticed the concern engraved on his face, her voice grew softer. "I'm all

THE GATHERING STORM

The tension in the clearing was palpable as the rogue packs gathered. Dominick stood at the center, his stance firm, his voice calm yet commanding. The rogue alphas exchanged wary glances, their wolves bristling with unease.“This alliance is not about trust,” Dominick began, his voice cutting through the murmurs. “It’s about survival. Eryndor won’t stop until he destroys every one of us. If we don’t unite now, there won’t be anything left to fight for.”A grizzled rogue alpha, a scar running down the side of his face, stepped forward. “You expect us to follow you after what your pack has done to us in the past? You think a few fancy speeches will erase years of bloodshed?”Dominick met his gaze, unflinching. “I don’t expect you to forget. I don’t expect you to forgive. But if you think Eryndor will spare you because you’re not part of my pack, you’re a fool. He doesn’t care about your grudges. He’ll crush you just the same.”The rogue alpha growled low in his throat, but another voic

THE FIRST STRIKE

As the pack paused at the boundary, their breaths visible in the chilly night, the air was heavy with tension. Ahead, the foreboding rustle of the trees blended with the lingering smell of blood and ash. Dominick paced in the front, watching for the first movement in the shadows."Remain alert," he yelled. "They will arrive quickly and forcefully. Remain firm. Defend one another. Nobody fights by themselves.Marcus gritted his jaw and gripped his blade tighter. "Earlier, I estimated that they had at least 100 members. There are most likely more lurking in the shadows.Dominick gave a somber nod. "Then we make every hit matter."As the first renegade wolves appeared from the treeline, their eyes crimson and their snarls vowing death, a low growl echoed across the pack."They're here," Chelsea said in a strained voice.Dominick signaled silence by raising his hand. With a harsh tone, he said, "Wait for my command."Slowly, with deliberate, predatory movements, the rogues moved forward.

THE WAR COUNCIL

Only the gentle murmurs of those caring for the injured and the occasional muffled sob broke the deafening silence in the pack house. Every soul felt the weight of their loss, and the air was thick with sorrow.With his hands clenched at his sides, Dominick stood in the middle of the room. He looked about at his people, who were tired, hurt, but yet alive. For the time being.Marcus came over, his arm in a homemade sling, his face injured. "Everyone has been accounted for. There were 26 fatalities and 40 injuries. Dom, we are only half as strong as we once were.Dominick's voice was a low growl as his jaw tensed. Eryndor desired to communicate. He stated unequivocally that he is after all we stand for, not just us.Sitting close by, Chelsea scowled at the ground while wearing a bandage over her forehead. "This is not how we can fight him. Not directly.Dominick stated firmly, "We won't." "But we're also not giving up."With shaky steps but unwavering resolve, Lisa walked into the room

THE ROAD TO WAR

As Dominick guided the group through the thick underbrush, the moonlight created long shadows that cut through the strangely quiet forest. With her jaw clenched and her eyes searching the shadows for any indication of danger, Lisa stepped next to him. Marcus, Chelsea, and three of their most reliable fighters trailed behind them, moving silently and cautiously."From the edge of Eryndor's territory, we're about a day's journey away," Marcus whispered, his voice hardly audible. "We will arrive at the stronghold by nightfall tomorrow if we continue at this rate."Dominick looked straight ahead and nodded. "We follow the plan. No needless dangers. If something seems strange, we instantly reorganize."Feels off?" Chelsea's voice was dry as she mumbled. "Everything seems strange. Marching directly into the backyard of Eryndor? What might go wrong?"Enough," Dominick stated sternly, his voice unyielding. We all concurred on this. This is the moment to go back if you have any doubts.Chelsea

A DEVIL’S BARGAIN

Dominick's cold stone at his back provided no solace as his wrists burned against the magical bonds that kept him in place. Eryndor stood with his hands clenched behind him, his presence imposing and oppressive across the darkened room."You're obstinate, Alpha," Eryndor said in a cool but menacing tone. "As someone who says he cares about his people, I had higher expectations. Even though you know you can't win this battle, you're still pulling them all to their deaths.Dominick glared at the warlock as he raised his chin. "You have no leadership experience. My flock will fight because we stand for something you'll never comprehend, not because I make them.Eryndor grinned and took a step forward. "Ah, a doomed man's noble speech." Don't hurt me. I'm not here to argue with you about your beliefs. His penetrating eyes met Dominick's as he bent down. "I'm here to give you an option."Dominick snarled, "I want nothing from you."Eryndor's eyes glinted sinisterly as his smile grew. “Oh,
