LOGINHe ran to protect his family from the unknown. She ran to protect herself from the unknown. Neither of them knew the storm that was coming, all they knew was that they had run. Alexander, a hunter, lived a quiet life with his four brothers and loving parents, until a hunt in the woods changes everything. Bitten by a dying wolf-man whose last words warned, “Protect her, yourself, and everyone around you, because they’ll come,” Alexander begins to change. Terrified of what he's becoming, and of who might be coming for him, he vanishes, hoping to keep his family safe and find the 'her' that needed to protect. Across town, Nyx returns home to find her world drenched in blood. Her mother lies dying, whispering impossible things: “They found us. I’m sorry, Karl. I couldn’t protect our daughter the way I promised…” A name she’s never heard. A promise she doesn't understand. With an ancient diary and her mother’s final breath, Nyx is told to run, and never look back. Two strangers, on the run with no idea who they truly are, or what they’re destined to become. Bound by a hidden past and an ancient war, Alexander and Nyx will soon discover that fate doesn't care if you’re ready. Because once the blood wakes... there’s no turning back.

pakiusap ni Ali.
"This is all settled Ali, this is not part of the bargain. why change your mind now"
sita ni Margette.
" Hindi ko pala kaya.. hindi ko kaya"
pagmamakaawa ni Ali sa kanila.
" Hindi mo kaya or you are after something else"
singit ni Margarette.
"Anong ibig mong sabihin?"
takang tanong ko.
"Come on Ali, masyado ng luma ang style na yan. kunwari hindi kaya , kunwari nagbago ang isip, kunwari matinong ina. Come on girl hindi mo kami madadaan sa drama na yan"
galit na sabi ni Margarette.
"Isosoli ko na lang ang perang binigay nyo. Pero nabawasan yun ng mga ginastos ko pero the rest isosoli ko"
"So, please hayaan nyo na lang akong makalaalis"
halos maiyak na ako sa paliusap. Tumalikod ako at nagmadaling humakbang bitbit ang maleta.
Bigla akong hinablot ni Cody.
"Where do you think your going? bakit ? is this not enough?"
sabi nito at halos idukdok sa mukha ko ang tagiisang libuhin.
"Why, nasilip mo ba na mas may makukuha ka? Are you after my money Ali?"
sabi ni Cody na halos kulang na lang duruin ako.
"NO.. HINDI AKO AFTER SA KUNG ANUMAN ..LALAYO NA NGA LANG AKO.PANGAKO HINDI AKO MANGGUGULO, HINDI AKO GAGAWA NG IKASASAMA NG PANGALAN NYO. PIPIRMA AKO NG KASULATAN. JUST LET ME GO"
halos umiiyaka na ako sa pakikipagusap. Hindi ko masabi ang totoong dahilan. Hindi ko magawang ipaglaban ang dahilan.
"No Ali, hindi kami papayag. You have to stick to the deal. We will have the baby and you will disappear forever yun ang pinirmahan mo kasulatan"
"ETO BA?"
sabi ko sabay punit ko sa papel na pinirmahan ko. Itinapon ko sa harap nila ang perang ibinigay nila.
"Sa inyo na ang pera nyo akin ang anak ko"
mariin kong sabi.
"Ali!...."
sigaw na ni Cody.
"baka nakakalimutan mong anak ko din yang ipinangdadamot mo.You will stick to the plan o ipakukulong kita"
banta ni Cody.
Pagkasabi ni Cody ng mga salitang iyon ay pinakatitigan ko si Cody ng buong talim.
"Ipakukulong mo ako. Hah! anong nangyari at bigla atang nabahag ang buntot mo Cody?"
sabi ko sa kanya na may halong hinanankit.Malayo kase ang mga salitang iyon sa mga salitang sinabi ni Coby noong isang linggo lang.
"Sige Cody ipakulong mo ako kung maaatim mong nakakulong ang ina ng anak mo at may criminal record. Sige lang gawin nyo ang gusto nyo basta magkamatayan man tayo akin ang anak ko"
Doon natigalgal si Cody at hindi nakapagsalita.....
Sinamantala ko yun para mabilis na tumakbo palabas ng gate at agad pumara ng taxi. Maglalaho ako at hindi na muling magpapakita pa.
Chapter 126NyxThe trial took place in the main hall with every pack member who could fit crammed inside while those who couldn't pressed against windows and doorways trying to witness justice being served.I stood beside Alex near the front where Lucien had insisted we sit, and watched as guards brought Darius in wearing silver chains that kept him subdued but couldn't hide the defiance still burning in his eyes."Members of Silver Crescent Pack," Lucien began while his voice carried the weight of authority he'd grown into over the past days. "We gather today to render judgment on crimes committed by the former Alpha, crimes that have shaped our pack's history for twenty five years through deception and manipulation."The crowd murmured and I felt their collective anger like a physical presence pressing down on the hall, felt generations of wolves who'd been lied to finally getting a chance at truth."The charges are numerous," Lucien continued. "Conspiracy, murder, false imprisonm
Chapter 125Nyx"Because he used his death to give me you," I explained. "And that's not the action of someone who blamed you for his situation, that's the action of someone who saw potential in a frightened human and chose to transform that fear into strength.""You really believe that?" Alex asked."I have to," I admitted. "Because if I don't believe my father's death had purpose then I'll drown in grief and never surface."We fell asleep still tangled together, and I dreamed of a man I'd never met who had my eyes and my stubborn jaw, a man who smiled sadly and whispered words I couldn't quite hear before fading into mist.When I woke the next morning I felt hollowed out and raw but also somehow more settled, like finally knowing the truth about my father's fate had given me permission to grieve properly instead of holding onto desperate hope that had been slowly killing me."We need to tell Lucien," I said while sitting up. "Need to tell him what we learned about Karl and about how
Chapter 124Nyx "Tell me," I shouted while moving toward the bars."Never," Darius laughed. "You can torture me, kill me, destroy everything I've ever cared about and I still won't tell you where Karl is hidden."I felt myself starting to fall, felt my legs giving out under the weight of too many revelations in too short a time, but Alex caught me before I hit the ground."I've got you," he murmured. "I've got you.""He knows where my father is," I sobbed against his chest. "And he'll never tell me, I'll never find him.""That's not true," Alex said firmly. "There are other ways to find answers.""What other ways?" I demanded. "He said himself that nobody else knows where Karl is.""Come inside," Alex said while pulling me away from Darius and his mocking laughter. "Come inside and I'll explain."He supported me as we climbed back up the stairs and away from that horrible cell, and Lucien followed with an expression that suggested he was processing his own shock at what his father ha
Chapter 123NyxThree days passed in a blur of healing and rest, three days where Martha and the pack healers fussed over me constantly while my body recovered from the forced transformation that should have killed me.The quarters Lucien had provided were far from the main compound, tucked away in a quiet corner where nobody would disturb us, and I was grateful for the privacy even as guilt gnawed at me for what I'd done to Darius."You need to stop thinking about it," Alex said from where he sat by the window keeping watch like he had since we'd arrived. "What happened wasn't your fault.""I almost killed him," I said for what felt like the hundredth time. "Would have killed him if you hadn't stopped me.""But you didn't," Alex reminded me gently. "And beating yourself up over what almost happened serves no purpose except making you miserable."He was right but knowing that didn't make the guilt disappear, didn't erase the memory of how close I'd come to becoming exactly the kind of
