LOGINIvonne's povThe last bit of my sanity shattered, and a wave of pure, unadulterated fury took over. I turned away from the oath, raised both of my hands toward Larry, and unleashed everything.A massive, terrifying pillar of pitch-black magic exploded from my body.BOOM!The black beam slammed directly into Larry's chest, throwing him backward against the obsidian throne. He let out a blood-curdling scream as my black magic began eating away at his body, rapidly draining his life force.With Larry blasted away, his control over the floating red bubbles broke. The spheres vanished, and the two crying infants began falling through the air.Leo and Sevrin broke through the shattered barrier, diving forward and catching both babies safely in their arms."Ivonne! Stop!" the Oracle yelled, holding the babies close to her chest. "The children are safe! We have them! Stop!" She shouted as I focused all my energy on finishing Larry off."YESSS Finish him..." the dark voices hissed inside my he

EnjoyIvonne's pov"Ah, Ivonne," Larry purred, his red eyes glinting with satisfaction. "I knew you would come. I have been waiting for you! I knew the moment you realized how helpless your little Alpha was, you would walk right into my hands."He took a step down the stairs, spreading his arms wide. "Look at you. You didn't even bring your precious pack. I'm a little surprised, to be honest. I kind of expected you to at least TRY to bring your friends along, but I can sense that they are nowhere near here. Why is that?""It's none of your business," I said. My voice was completely flat. Cold. "Where are my children?"Larry chuckled, pressing for an answer. "Come now, Ivonne. It's not like you to walk into a trap completely unprotected. Are you not scared of what will happen to you without your friends here?"I stared straight into his
Ivonne's pov"Ivonne? Ivonne, what are you doing?" A voice called out from behind me.I froze, my hand clutching the edge of my dark cloak. Slowly, I turned around.Standing in the doorway was Denise. She was holding a warm cup of herbal tea, her eyes swollen and red from crying. But when she saw me wrapped in the travelling cloak with my hood pulled up, her jaw dropped. The tea cup shattered on the floor, spilling hot liquid across the wooden planks."Ivonne?" Denise whispered, taking a step back in horror. "What are you doing? Where are you going?""I'm leaving, Denise," I said, my voice flat and hollow. "I have to go to the Obsidian Spire.""Are you crazy?!" Denise gasped, rushing forward to grab my arms. As a Lycan, her grip was strong, tight, and unyielding. "You can't go there alone! Larry will kill you! Hector is setting up the scouts right now. We are going to figure out a plan together!""There is no plan!" I snapped, pulling against her grip, but she held on tight. "If Hecto
Ivonne's povThe courtyard was dead silent, save for the bitter crackle of extinguished lanterns and the sound of my own shattered, gasping sobs.The moment the demonic portal snapped shut, the black chains around Hector dissolved into thin air. He scrambled across the cold stone, gathering me tightly against his chest as I collapsed into absolute hysterics."I had them... but he took them... he took our babies Hector!" I shrieked, my voice breaking into raw, ragged screams.Hector held me like a man trying to keep his own soul from splitting open. His arms were shaking violently, and around us, our friends—Elara, Leo, Sevrin, Denise, Thorin, Justin, and Viera stood in total shock.Denise was weeping softly into Sevrin's chest, while Elara looked on with a pale, horrified expression, her hands clutching her own pregnant stomach.With a guttural, terrifying roar of pure agony, Hector stood up, turning to the nearest marble pillar. He slammed his bare fists into the stone over and over
Ivonne's povIt was Larry.His skin was pale, his veins black and bulging, and his eyes burned with a terrifying, inhuman crimson light.But he was very real, very here, and very much alive!"Larry?!" Hector roared, instantly stepping in front of me and the babies, his body surging as he prepared to shift into his giant Lycan form. "How the hell are you alive?!"Larry let out a dark, booming laugh that rattled the glass in the manor windows. "Did you really think a pathetic blood-clone decoy in an underground workshop was me, Alpha? It seems you and your Luna are really as foolish as I suspected you were." He sneered and fury bloomed in my heart.How dare he?! How dare he mock us after we mourned his death? After all his betrayal, we still mourned what we though was his loss!And here he was, spitting in our faces again. I was not about to let this slide.With a snarl, I called upon the ancient wolf spirit within my blood. Ulfris!A golden aura burst around us as Ulfris tried to surge
Ivonne's povDespite my inner fear, the months that followed were nothing short of a surprising miracle.The dark shadows that had hung over the Lycan realm for so long seemed to evaporate into the warm sunlight.Trade and tourist routes between the Lycan realm and the rest of the world reopened, fields blossomed with fresh green crops, and the sound of laughter replaced the heavy silence that used to blanket the capital.Walking through the central market with Hector, I felt a deep, overwhelming sense of pride. Citizens bowed with genuine warmth, handing us flowers and fresh bread, cheering for their Alpha and Luna."Careful, my love," Hector murmured, his hand resting supportively against the small of my back as we walked up the manor steps. His dark eyes softened with that endless, fierce devotion that always made my heart flutter. "You shouldn't be walking so much in your condition.""I am fine, Hector," I giggled softly, leaning into his side. "The healer said light walks are goo
