The moon hung low, casting an eerie silver glow over Tamsin’s forest. I couldn’t shake the feeling that, despite our victory, something darker loomed on the horizon. I stared at the relic, now encased in an iron box reinforced with sigils carved by our elders. It pulsed faintly, as if alive, its faint glow teasing the edges of my vision.

Mike stood across the room, his frame rigid. He hadn’t spoken much since the battle. The fire in his eyes earlier had dimmed, replaced by an unyielding focus. I admired his strength, but I knew even he had limits.

“Lola.” His voice broke the heavy silence. He didn’t turn to face me but kept his eyes on the map sprawled across the table. “We need to find Tom before he regroups.”

I stepped closer, careful to avoid the shattered remnants of the earlier chaos. “And Zara? If she’s alive, she knows things. She could be the key to stopping this.”

Mike’s jaw tightened. “If she’s alive,” he echoed, his tone sharp. “She left of her own accord.”

  • Deadly Alpha Battle   Lola’s POV

    The packhouse was quiet, but it didn’t feel peaceful. The fight at the ruins was over, but the threat wasn’t gone. Alaric’s presence still hung over us like a dark cloud. No one said it out loud, but we all knew he was planning his next move. I couldn’t sleep. My mind wouldn’t stop replaying everything that had happened.Mike’s door was slightly open, and warm light spilled into the hallway. I paused, wondering if I should leave him alone. Before I could decide, his voice called out. “Lola?” I pushed the door open. “Hey,” I said softly. “Couldn’t sleep.” Mike was sitting on the edge of his bed, elbows resting on his knees. His hair was messy, and his eyes looked tired. “Me neither,” he admitted. “Too much going on in my head.” I walked over and sat beside him. “Do you think Alaric will come back soon?” Mike’s jaw tightened. “He will,” he said firmly. “But so will we. We’ll be ready.” I nodded, though unease still lingered in my chest. “I just wish things could go back

  • Deadly Alpha Battle   Lola’s POV

    The packhouse was quiet, but the heavy air was filled with tension. After sealing the gateway, everyone was tired, but sleep didn’t come easy. I sat near the window, looking out at the dark forest. The ruins might be safe for now, but Alaric’s threat still hung over us like a storm cloud. Footsteps echoed behind me. Mike’s steady voice broke the silence. "You can’t sleep, can you?" I shook my head. "Too much going on in my mind." He came closer and stood beside me. "We made progress today. We sealed the gateway." "For now," I said softly. "Alaric isn’t finished. I saw it in his eyes. He’ll come back." Mike’s jaw clenched. "Then we’ll be ready for him." I sighed. "But what if we aren’t ready?" Mike reached for my hand, his touch warm and steady. "We’ll be ready," he promised. Before I could respond, there was a loud knock on the door. Zara’s voice came through. "Lola, Mike. Come quickly. You need to see this." Mike and I exchanged worried looks before heading to the d

  • Deadly Alpha Battle   Lola’s POV

    The night stretched long and heavy, every shadow outside the packhouse feeling thicker than before. Alaric’s presence lingered in my thoughts, a reminder that danger was closer than ever. I sat by the window, watching the trees sway in the faint breeze, the eerie stillness unsettling in a way that made my skin prickle. Mike stood by the door, his arms crossed, his eyes locked on the darkness outside. "He’s watching," he said quietly. "I can feel it." Zara, sitting on the couch with her knees drawn up to her chest, nodded. "He doesn’t seem like the type to walk away that easily." I exhaled slowly, pushing away the tension creeping up my spine. "We can’t let him control the narrative. We have to get ahead of him before he finds a way to use the ruins against us." Dorian, who had remained quiet most of the evening, finally spoke. "Alaric doesn’t just manipulate power. He manipulates people. He knows how to twist thoughts, how to sow doubt. If you let him get too close, he’ll turn

  • Deadly Alpha Battle   Lola’s POV

    The ruins stood silent in the aftermath of our confessions, their glow fading but still pulsing with an unsettling energy. The air around us carried an oppressive weight, as if the stones themselves were holding their breath, waiting. "We did what it wanted," Zara said, her voice low, cautious. "So why doesn't it feel like enough?" Mike rubbed the back of his neck, his expression tense. "Because it's not. This is just the beginning." Dorian stepped closer, his presence like a shadow creeping in from the edges. "The ruins have acknowledged your fears, but acknowledgment isn't action. You need to be ready for what comes next." Marcus scoffed, crossing his arms. "And what exactly is coming next, Dorian? More riddles?" Dorian's lips curled into an unsettling smirk. "Not riddles, Marcus. Consequences." A sharp gust of wind swept through the clearing, rustling the trees in a way that set every nerve in my body on edge. It wasn’t natural. It felt... purposeful. Then I heard it.

  • Deadly Alpha Battle   Lola’s POV

    The ruins stood before us, shrouded in an eerie stillness that sent a shiver down my spine. The air was thick, heavy with something unspoken, something ancient. I could see the faint glow of the markings carved into the stones—symbols that seemed to pulse with an energy that made my skin crawl. Mike stood beside me, his jaw clenched, his eyes scanning the area with sharp focus. "It's different," he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. Zara crouched down, tracing a symbol with her fingers, her brows furrowed in concentration. "They've shifted," she said. "These weren’t like this before. It’s almost like... they're reacting to something." Dorian stood a few feet away, observing us with his usual detached expression. "The ruins are alive," he said calmly, as if stating a fact we should already know. "They respond to the balance between realms. And right now, that balance is crumbling." I swallowed hard, my gaze locked onto the strange patterns carved into the stone. "What

  • Deadly Alpha Battle   Lola’s POV

    The weight of Dorian’s words hung over the packhouse like an invisible storm cloud, thick and suffocating. The murmurs of the pack barely registered in my mind as I stood by the window, staring out into the darkened forest. Somewhere out there, beyond the trees and the shadows, the source loomed, waiting. Mike’s presence was a steady warmth behind me, his fingers grazing my shoulder. “You’ve been quiet,” he murmured, his voice low enough that only I could hear. I let out a slow breath, leaning against him. “I’m just… trying to make sense of it all. The sacrifice he mentioned… what if it’s something we can’t afford to give?” Mike’s grip tightened, grounding me. “We’ll figure it out, Lola. We always do.” But I wasn’t so sure this time. This wasn’t just a rogue enemy or an invading force. This was something beyond us—something ancient and unrelenting. The idea of a ‘sacrifice’ gnawed at me, filling my chest with unease. A knock on the door interrupted our moment. Zara stepped i
