AEMOND'S POV “Do not tell me that!” I barked at Zephyr, slamming my hand on the table. “Are you trying to ask me to give up now? Give the f*ck up? You can't be serious right now?” I swept my finger through my hair vigorously, grunting in frustration.“Think about it, Aemond! Everything keeps failing. The ritual, Don Carlito turned on you, You got stabbed with a poison ivy, Aemond! You almost lost your damn life, and you think this is not the universe telling you to back down on this quest,” Zephyr retorted. My face instantly turned red in anger. I turned around, growling as I matched towards him. “How dare you talk to me in such a manner?” I spat, pushing him against the wall. I grabbed tight on his neck, snarling as I pulled him up till his feet dangled in the air. “If you are no longer on my side, I suggest you let it out now!” I growled, tightening my grip around his neck.Zephyr spluttered, beating my forearm in a bid for me to release my grip but I held tighter until he manage
DAMON'S POV “Baby, I honestly do not understand why you keep doing this to yourself,” my wife, Lisa complained. She took a look around, making sure no one was listening or looking before whispering in a hushed tone. “Alpha Jake is going crazy. He is sick and in no time he is going to go rogue. I don't want you falling into harm's way because of a…” she took another look around nervously before shifting her gaze back to me. “ I don't want you losing your life because of a mad king,” She hushed.My eyes widened in shock. Even in my weak state, I managed to pull her close with my uninjured arm. “Baby, please do not think nor say that again. Do you know the gravity of what you just mentioned?” my brows furrowed in concern as I whispered to her almost inaudibly.“Jake is not mad. In fact, he needs help. And what is a Beta if he doesn't stand by his Alpha through thick and thin? Besides, have you forgotten Alpha Jake is the reason why both are not rogue wolves after he accepted us into Sh
JAKE'S POV“How are you feeling now, Alpha Jake?” A slim, blonde nurse asked while injecting a fluid into my infusion line.I had no word to say to her, I stared at her blankly trying to get cognizance of my environment. The last thing I remembered was Selene standing before me, saying some words while I was twisting and groaning in extreme pain before I blacked.After the incident at my mother's funeral and Lyra's disappearance, I have been more focused on fixing the damages Aemond and Don Carlito caused. The impact it had on our economy and relationships with other pack members that I forgot about my curse and the fact we were soon approaching another Blood Moon circle.It was almost a week after Lyra's sudden disappearance, that I began noticing some changes in my body. I had termed it stressed until four nights ago when I began noticing Lucio's unusual provocations. I had bluffed it out until two nights ago.My bones began to twist and break, contouring and conforming into the bea
LYRA'S POVI held my hand over my face to shield the bright light from burning my eyes. It shone for a while before the light gradually dimmed. That was when I walked over to see what it was. My lips hung open in wild bewilderment.My eyes darted between Korra and back to the box, my mind reeling in shock. “How…How is this…” I stuttered reaching for the item in the box. “How is this possible? Aemond… Aemond. He was with the pendant, that I am sure of. How is it right here, staring at me? How did you get it?” I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath caught in my throat as I struggled to process what I was seeing.“Do not touch it!” Korra ordered, startling me.“Don't?” I scoffed. “This is the pendant I misplaced. I am very sure of that,” I ran my hand through my hair, looking lost. “Can you please explain to me what is going on?” I blurted out.“Calm down, Child! You were brought here not by chance. Not just to reunite us but to understand the true history of what you are up
LYRA'S POVWhat the hell is going on here? I stared in shock as they all fell to their knees bowing to me. What prophecy are they talking about? I batted my eyelid with my lips agape.“Wh…What…” I turned around in circles hoping to lock eyes with someone who might explain to me exactly what was going on.“Hey!” I pulled on the guy who initially cuffed me but his face remained planted in between his arms on the floor.At that point, I just stood waiting for them to raise their heads until Korra hinted to me that it was only by my command will they rise to their feet.“The heiress of the moon goddess! The savior of our clan! Speak and we shall obey! Order and we shall follow!” She said in a raspy tone.I hesitated before giving the order. “You may all rise!” I said in a carefree way as I watched them rise to their feet. “Now can someone tell me what is going on?” I queried.“Your Grace, My name is Armani, the ruler of the Tarzawa Tribe! We have waited for years and thank the gods, the d
LYRA’S POV“Ahh!” I groaned in pain, rubbing the back of my head as my eyes slowly flickered open. My spine ached as I pushed myself up. Looking up to the height I had crashed down from, I was thankful I wasn’t lame already. The ray of light filtering into the hole burned my eyes as I looked up.I tried to stand up when I felt something curling around my foot. I froze instantly, my heart racing. “Calm down, Lyra! Take a deep breath!” I muttered to myself, my breath shaking. Could it be a snake? Perhaps some wild creature living down here. I felt sweat beginning to gather on my forehead and face. If it were a snake, I bet Tara would have sensed it. I knew dogs and snakes weren’t the best of friends- at least not a ferocious one like Tara. “Tara! Tara!” I whispered but got no response. Tara was still blacked out from the fall. I summoned the courage to look down and instantly freaked out.“Get off my feet!” I panicked, thrashing and flinging my feet to swing it off but it neither moved
