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
JAKE'S POVI grunted my way up from the dirt, after being pushed into the wall by a brute force. Whatever Aemond did was a concrete reason why he should never wield the pendant. It was just the tip of the destruction that would hit the entire werewolf kingdom.Voices and hurried footsteps from medics and survivors echoed as they rushed the injured to the infirmary. I finally got to my feet dusting and coughing out debris from my lungs while I took a walk around the scene. It was then it dawned on me that I hadn't seen Lyra after the shit I heard. Panic set in.Smoke still curled from the crumbled arena walls, dust choking the air like it refused to settle, but I could care less about it.My boots pounded against the ground, blood and ash sticking to the soles like guilt. Bodies were being carried out, some limp, others groaning in pain. But none were Lyra's. It gave me some sense of relief not finding her in such a horrible state but still, it made way for a much bigger worry. What i
