last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-08-07 16:58:02

Nathanial's perspective:

"Spread out; keep low" I whisper, watching as Connor nods, each wolf following the order; spreading out to cover the entire area.

'Croxus, you ready?' The whole area sending a sickening feeling down to my stomach. 'Always' he growls; as we shift silently.

Each wolf follows my lead, each one shredding their human form as we all feel it at the same time. The dark energy coming from the site before us unlike anything I've ever felt before. Whoever this witch is, their power is stronger than anything we've ever felt.

I can smell Tristan instantly, relief as I feel his presence. His alive. Thank the moon goddess. Croxus takes a deep breathe as we move, picking up Aiden, Shayne and Mira. Each one of them is alive, right now that's the best news we could have hoped for.

'Tristan's blood' Croxus notes, it isn't too over powering, but clearly his been hurt. The thought of him in that clearing, probably scared and bleeding has Croxus moving faster than we planned. L

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    Preparing for the final goodbye.

    Armina's perspective: His trying. His trying so hard it hurts to watch. Seeing him with our pups makes my heart ache, he never leaves their side. The dark circles under his eyes proof he hasn't allowed himself any rest. It's been three days since Nathanial passed away. Today we lay him to rest. I had hoped Tristan may have allowed himself some sleep last night, knowing what he had to do today. But instead he had stayed by our pups sides, refusing to leave them except to shower and go to the bathroom. I love how attentive he is, but he needs sleep. He needs to allow himself time to grieve, to start processing his loss. I'm at a loss. I've tried to talk to him, but he always just tells me his fine. I can't feel his emotions, his blocked me out. Something that scares me on it's own. He shouldn't be able to block me out. "Tristan?" I knock gently, opening the door to see him placing Liam down for his nap. "You need to get ready" I say gently, watching the w

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    Barely keeping it together.

    Tristan's perspective: I don't know how much time has passed. The sobs have finally slowed, my breathing heavy as my brain struggles to process the grief. It doesn't feel real. His body is right here, right in front of me. The proof that his gone. But it can't seem to sink in. It's like my brain is too scared to let it process, knowing the grief could drown us.Alpha wolves know they have to face their mortality. We always put ourselves at the front of the war line, doing all we can to protect our pacts. I pictured Nathanial having to deal with my loss one day, I never even considered it to be reversed. I could never have prepared for this kind of pain."I love you brother" I whisper, hoping he can hear me. "I will be kicking your ass up there one day for this" I laugh through my tears. Not a real laugh. One that tries to hide the pain that just somehow keeps growing in my chest. "I can't believe you did this, I was ready brother. I was ready" I

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    Grief.

    Tristan's perspective: This can't be happening. I'm holding onto my brother, his body unmoving. I was ready to go, ready to give my life knowing he was safe. Hearing he did this for me is not a comfort; instead it makes the pain in my chest stronger as I cling onto his lifeless body. Watching him, all I see is the little boy I grew up with. The one who would come to me with bright eyes, always looking to me to guide and protect him. I failed him. I failed my family. I don't want to live in a world where he doesn't exist. I feel everyone lean down beside me. Feel their own love and grief. I can't hold it together, my breathing nothing but deep sobs. There is no way to save him, no way to bring him back. How can I go on without him? Without the other half of who I am. "I'm so sorry Tristan" Mira's voice breaks the silence; everyone else crying silently while I openly sob. "He made me promise" she repeats. I don't answer her. I don't blame her. I know she loved Nathanial, she woul

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    The heartbreak of loss.

    Nathanial's perspective: "I love you" I whisper to Armina, knowing she can hear me. She always hears me. I see her eyes widen, understanding filling them as she starts to shake her head. I can see the fear all over her as I move; running as fast as I can towards Tristan, hoping I'm not too late as I see the life fade from him before my eyes. I throw my body forward, pushing into the power, throwing everything I can into pushing Tristan out of it. His body landing heavily beside me as I try to hold back my screams. The power surrounding me tearing my soul from my body. 'I love you all' I send in the pack link. Armina's perspective: I see his decision, frozen as I watch him run at Tristan. It's like it's happening in slow motion, his legs taking each step heavily. "NOOO" I scream, Aiden grips me heavily from behind holding me back as Mira holds out her arms, whispering words I can't understand as Nathanial enters the magic surrounding Tristan, knocking him heavily to the side as hi

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    A brother's love.

    Nathanial's perspective:I can't breathe, time slows as I watch her hand move. My broken body attempting to move, knowing there is no way I am going to be able to reach her in time to save her. Armina can see it, fear crossing her eyes for the first time; I try to scream, just as Shayne appears behind Serena, a large knife thrusting into her chest from behind as he pulls her back against it. "No one hurts my daughter" he growls, his hands moving quickly as he snaps her neck in the next movement. Serena's body goes limp, Shayne doesn't stop, taking the knife from her chest and stabbing it into her throat, pulling hard and removing her head clear from her body; throwing it to the ground with a growl. The moment Serena's body hits the ground, Calipsi groans in pain, "NOOO!" She screams; looking to her daughter in pieces on the ground."YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT" she screams; but the distraction costs her, Mira pushes her power forward, knocking Ca

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    The heat of battle.

    Nathanial's perspective: "What do you mean Mira?" I demand, it can't end this way. "She has fully accessed the site, the spell has already been started. If we even tried to get close enough to remove Tristan it would incinerate anyone within a metre" her whole body makes it clear she's serious. She's given up. "NO" I growl. His not going down like this. My legs start moving, uncaring of what happens to me. I basically bolt towards Tristan, my goal the only think keeping me going. Save my brother. I barely notice I'm being followed. Each one of the fools following me into what I see as certain death. We make it quickly, each one of us barely able to take in the scene in front of us. Tristan stands in the middle of the light ripping apart the sky. His whole body suspended in the air as she drains him, "VENI AD ME" Calapsi is screaming, the power surrounding her in waves. "VENI AD ME" Leon and Serena stand close to her, both of them looking almost pained. "What do we do?" I beg Mira
