"We canโt trust them anymore," one of the dissenters was saying. "This alliance is going to destroy us. We need to take control before itโs too late.""And what about Kate?" another voice asked. "Sheโs the key to all this. If we take her out, Deimon will crumble."Kateโs breath caught in her throat. The betrayal was more profound than she had imagined. But before she could process it further, Deimon stepped forward, revealing himself to the group."What do you think youโre doing?" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.The dissenters froze, their eyes wide with shock. But it was the figure at the center of the group that caught Kateโs attentionโthe one she had seen in her vision. It was Garrick, the wolf who had voiced his doubts earlier that day."Garrick," Deimon said, his voice filled with disbelief and anger. "How could you?"Garrick met his gaze, unrepentant. "This is bigger than you, Deimon. Bigger than any of us. The packโs survival is at stake. Youโre too blinded by your lo
โTheyโve resurfaced,โ Anna continued, her voice tight with urgency. โAnd theyโve teamed up with the rival Alpha. Theyโre after the Lunaโs Tear, yes, but thatโs not all. They need you, Kate.โโMe?โ Kateโs voice was barely above a whisper.Anna nodded, her gaze softening with sympathy. โYour bloodline, Kate. It traces back to the first Luna, the one who originally wielded the Lunaโs Tear. Itโs said that only her descendants can fully unlock its power. They need you to gain that power.โDeimonโs grip on the edge of the table tightened, his knuckles turning white. โSo this isnโt just about uniting the packs. They want to use Kate as a weapon.โโExactly,โ Anna confirmed. โThey believe that with the Lunaโs Tear and Kate, they can control not just the packs, but the entire supernatural world. Theyโll stop at nothing to get what they want.โA heavy silence fell over the room as the weight of Annaโs words settled in. Kate felt a storm of emotions swirling within herโfear, anger, a deep sense o
Kate stirred awake, the first light of dawn filtering through the heavy curtains of their bedroom. She felt the warmth of Deimonโs body beside her, his arm draped protectively over her waist. For a moment, she allowed herself to stay still, savoring the peacefulness of the morning, a rare moment of calm before the chaos of the day would begin.As if sensing her thoughts, Deimon tightened his hold on her, pulling her closer. "Good morning," he murmured, his voice still heavy with sleep.Kate turned in his arms to face him, her heart fluttering at the sight of his familiar features, softened by the early light. "Morning," she whispered back, her lips curving into a small smile. "Did you sleep well?"He brushed a strand of hair from her face, his fingers lingering on her cheek. "With you by my side? Always."She laughed softly, a sound that seemed to lighten the air between them. "You always know just what to say.""Itโs the truth," he replied, his voice serious now. "Every day with you
The dawn of a new day bathed the Academy grounds in a soft, golden light. Kate stood in the clearing, feeling the energy of the Lunaโs Tear coursing through her, amplifying her newfound powers. Deimon stood beside her, his presence a comforting anchor.โAlright, Kate,โ he said, his voice steady and encouraging. โLetโs see what you can do.โKate closed her eyes and focused, letting the energy flow through her. She felt the air around her shift, responding to her will. With a flick of her wrist, she manipulated the light and shadows, creating intricate patterns in the air. Deimon watched with awe and pride, and Kate could feel his support bolstering her confidence.โYouโre getting better every day,โ he said, smiling.โThanks to you,โ she replied, meeting his gaze. โYour belief in me makes all the difference.โTheir training sessions had become a daily routine, drawing the attention of others at the Academy. Whispers of Kateโs abilities spread, and soon, instructors and students alike be
Kate sat cross-legged on her bed, the old leather-bound journal resting on her lap. The faded gold lettering on the cover read โErica,โ her motherโs name. Her fingers traced the letters as she took a deep breath, feeling a strange mix of excitement and trepidation. This journal held the secrets of her familyโs past, secrets that could change everything she knew about herself.Deimon entered the room, his presence steady and reassuring. He noticed the journal and sat beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. โAre you ready?โ he asked softly.Kate nodded, her resolve firm. โYes. Letโs find out what my mother had to say.โOpening the journal, she began to read aloud. The first entries were mundane, detailing everyday life, but as she turned the pages, the tone shifted. Her motherโs words grew more urgent, more desperate.***July 10, 1995Iโve kept this secret for so long, hidden from everyone, even my own family. The connection to the Umbra Pack is deeper than anyone knows.
The news spread like wildfire throughout Umbra Academy. Gandal, the future Alpha of the Norse Pack, had issued a challenge to Deimon, seeking to test his strength and authority. Jealousy and ambition had driven Gandal to this point, and now the entire Academy was abuzz with anticipation.Deimon stood in the training room, his thoughts racing as he prepared for the duel. Kate and their allies were gathered around, their support a steady source of strength.โAre you sure about this?โ Kate asked, her voice laced with concern. โGandal is known for being ruthless.โDeimon nodded, meeting her worried gaze. โI have to do this. Itโs not just about me; itโs about proving our strength and leadership. If I back down now, itโll send the wrong message.โKate sighed, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and determination. โJust be careful. I canโt bear the thought of losing you.โDeimon reached out, cupping her face in his hands. โI promise, Iโll be careful. And Iโll win.โKillian clapped a hand on D
