ROMAN’S POV“Alone at last, Rooo-man.” For the first time, Noroya drops to her feet, holding the staff in one hand. She stands a whole yard away from me. Does she think the space will be an advantage to her? Well, most mages are long distance fighters.I will cross the space in an instant if need be because the entirety of our plan is based on my fight with Noroya. When she dies, we can freely bring in our reinforcements to suppress the believers. I have to win here, no matter what!“Don’t be so tense.” She chuckles. “All I want is to speak to you. I don’t care about all that fighting stuff.”“Why?” She is definitely planning something.“Well… there’s no way you can beat me, is there?” She casts a condescending look on me, looking at me as if I am beneath her.I let out a sigh. “That’s a first.” I let my guard down. “What do you want to talk about?”“Yay! First off, tell me how you got your curse removed.”“That’s all you want to know?”“No, but it’s what I’m most curious about.”I st

ELDORA’S POVThe day is finally here.After setting all the pieces in place, we moved into the hideout cabin in the woods close to the mansion resting on the cliff. The mages with us have isolated this place so that the believer patrols won’t find us. This battle would have been easier if we could have them fight with us but their magic does close to nothing against the believers protected by Noroya’s powers.Ezra was right.He said it is a fight curated so only wolves can fight. We have all been assigned roles, everyone is in their rooms preparing for it. I know how the plan will go, thanks to Ezra. I made a display of confidence trying to push all the thoughts about my Aunt out of the way but right now… why can’t I calm down? ‘What if she-’‘No. I shouldn’t think like that.’ I cut myself off.We’re going to win this battle! Ezra didn’t say anything about my Aunt but I know she will be safe. I just know it!‘How?’ A voice of doubt whispers in my ear, puncturing another hole in my

Like a screen, images of numerous times Orion curled to sleep whispering a prayer flashed before me. On the days he would pass out from the pain, he would pray longer when he woke up. I see his lips quiver in his prayer for salvation as he went through difficult days, strapped to tables and injected with poison, kept in freezing and hot temperatures, broken and reassembled like a toy…I could not keep track of it.I could not stop the stab of pain in my chest or the hot tears rolling down my face.“And finally! Haha! I was a hybrid. I’d be free. They wouldn’t need me anymore. They’re done with the experiments.”I see the hope leave Orion’s eyes when the scientist says they should start over so they can find out why only he survived. He would be the original scapegoat for the new trials. “What?” Orion says, startling the scientists. They had no idea he could speak since he never did. “You are not letting me go?”“Letting you go?” The scientist said. “What nonsense is that?” He frowned

NIGHT OF BATTLEELDORA’S POVI feel my blood escaping my body through my wounds. My throat is hoarse as I struggle to breathe through my mouth. My face feels raw and bruised all over, my nose has been broken, one eye is swollen shut and there are cuts on my lip. None of it is healing. The fight around me has been reduced to dull thuds.It’s been a couple years but once again, I'm back to where it all started, under the moonlight. Full and beautifully bright even through the rain.My spine is broken. Even my wolf is too banged up to remain conscious. Orion made sure I couldn’t heal anymore. A sob hooks my breath, causing me to sputter blood on my face. Roman… I can’t reach him. I know he’s close. I know he’s unconscious. I know he’s dying and… I can’t reach him.‘Please… please Moon Goddess.’ I pray. ‘Ezra is gone. I’m too weak by myself… please… Please, help me.’‘The plan was never going to work.’ Ezra’s voice filters in from the back of my head.-30 HOURS EARLIERORION’S POV“Irene

ORION’S POV“What do you think she will decide to do?” I lean on the balcony overlooking the sea. The salty late afternoon wind ruffles my hair as I stare off into the distance. “Will she come by herself or not?”“I doubt Roderick will let her come here herself.”“True…” I turn to face Noroya. She is sitting on her broom, floating just above the cliff beyond the balcony. “It would have been better if she came alone.”“We’re going kill them all so what does it matter when?”“Right?”“They will be here soon. Everything will be over soon.”“That’s the problem.” The sea mirrors the sky as the sun sinks further below the horizon. “Nothing ever ends suddenly for me.”Noroya floats closer to me, she’s directly in front of me. Red eyes, red hair, lightly freckled skin. “Why would the goddess bless an ordinary young wolf, especially one in that cursed lineage?” I mutter mostly to myself. She opens her mouth to speak but I beat her to it. “The answer is she wouldn’t. That goddess who is as con
