Note: This chapter will be written in the third person because there are so many characters involved.There couldn't be any soul that didn't feel the grief, for even the Gods are crying, that heavy and freezing rain is leaning on their bodies and their souls understand that this day is a day of Mourning.For those who can see the other world, they could see the Harvesters walking over the battlefields collecting the souls that were making their way to the Mekai.The tears of children who had lost their parents and parents who had lost their children mingled with the Divine tears as if trying to console each other...That night had been exhausting, it had been heavy, it had been a disaster and as much as it was known that the Corruption had retreated, there was still no feeling that it had been won.It was simply all about loss because those who survived now had to bury those who died and had to mourn for those who were lost.The feeling of no winner is so dense that you can't hear the
Hope POVI know what I need to do, and I don't regret this decision. I know they will cry, but I can only pray that the Gods guide their next steps. I hope they find their second chance, that they can be happy without me.As I grab Melvin's collar, pushing him back and bringing the darkness along with me I see him smile in a corner, but that smile will disappear, because I use my left hand to pierce the place where his heart is and I see the surprise appear and die in those eyes that I once loved. I loved Melvin and not this corrupted version of him.I can feel the darkness around me surrounding me, hurting me, breaking the armor that covers me, and falling into that endless pit and I don't know how long I fought and defended myself, but I finally hit the ground. I've gotten used to the taste on my lips. Finally, I raise my eyes and I want to bow before the beings that are in front of me, the power that emanates from them is so gigantic that my soul shudders, and doubts begin to arise
Hope POVMy eyes are closed as the music echoes in my ears. I'm leaning against a comfortable armchair while paying attention to the movement of the bus on which I find myself.I don't want to listen to the murmurs about me, who I am or why I'm on this bus. I look through my eyes with anger, it was so normal to judge without knowing, without knowing me.Just because my smell is different from theirs, because they can feel that I don't have a wolf they think I shouldn't be on this bus. You don't know me, but you're going to know me, and a lot of people are going to regret that.I can already imagine what my life will be like in the next 5 years. In the first few months people will be saying things that should not be said, supposing that I am a hybrid, that I have some hidden power, but the answer is much simpler, I just know what I'm doing.I finally feel the bus stop, but I don't open my eyes, I just wait; I waited for everyone to get up, I hear some shouts of excitement, the noise of
Hope POV"Those who have remained standing come forward.”I heard the prince's voice, I saw a little shred of surprise in his eyes, I had been the last to get into this camp, I don't think he read my report, apparently.I see six people in front of me, each different from the other and I know they're alphas' children, I know them. Well, I mean, I've seen the files on their packs and who their successors are. It gave me some advantage because they shouldn't have worried about reading about me. After all, I don't have any titles like Beta, Gamma and so on, despite having my own battalion.The order of the presentation was the most logical, who was in front spoke first; in this case is a girl of 17 years, long blond hair, slightly curly at the tips, very white skin, despite being with her back to me, I know she has light brown eyes, thin nose, leased chin. She is currently wearing dark blue jeans with a black leather jacket with some silver spikes and a shift over his pants, black too, w
Hope POV"You have five minutes to talk with your subordinates, then you must go to the designated arena. All fights will be evaluated."I picked up my cell phone and opened a message app.[Defend yourselves in case someone walks past me. Don't worry, I will take down the leader].I showed it to the group, who looked at each other.[Just trust me.]They nodded, but without showing much confidence. I walked to the arena and put my backpack on the ground outside the marker, and went to the marked place, but contrary to what they thought, I was right in front, very close to the center line, while my team positioned itself behind me.Sophia's formation was predictable, she had put the two strongest guys in front of me, while the others were on the side, she was right behind, first mistake. Beginner's mistake to underestimate your enemy."Tsc..." I spoke and ran my hands through my hair, neatening it, and put my hands back in my pockets, with a very relaxed posture.Immediately, when I hea
Hope POVThe murmurs increased, I could hear people talking about my strategies, they were not conventional, but if I was just a wolfless girl facing big beasts, then at the very least I should know how to use weapons and have several types at my disposal.I still had a few tricks up my sleeve, but it was better not to use everything. Or was it? Well, depending on that maybe I would get to the higher stages faster. I took a mint candy from inside my bag and put it in my mouth, just as I pulled out a canteen of water and drank some."Want some?" I offered and my allies accepted, I tilted my head slightly looking at the arena, we would probably have to change arenas, I hoped to stay in the last one, close to the wall and that would be a great advantage."Hope Black, your group is going to change arenas." I heard the guard's voice behind me and smiled in a corner, I was right in my assumption.I stood up, put away the canteen they gave me back, picked up my backpack, put it on my left si
Hope POV"Hey, watch out, my neck was there." I spoke, okay, now I would surely be in trouble. I'm used to answering to Alpha Julian and he always warned me that the others wouldn't be as benevolent as he was, because after all, that's how our pack worked. "You can't blame me for something Selene did."Did I immediately realize my mistake? No one would dare stand between me and the Prince, and I knew it.'I think Alpha Julian will kill me if I don't die now.'Another burst of energy and this time I had to use much more than the first to dodge. Something I had learned a couple of years ago, I had wolf gene, it meant that sometimes I could channel this mystical energy and use it to my advantage, it was something that tired me, physically and mentally and I didn't use it much. The prince gave me no room to continue, he knew what I was doing, I could see it in his gaze. Well, it was true, but that didn't mean I would be completely unprotected."A crime, for a crime..." I whispered, and i
Hope POVI am wandering in this place, in this dreamless dream, just an eternal darkness, no light, no hope.I walked until my body was tired, everywhere and still I couldn't find a way out, would there be any way out of this place? I hate this feeling of being just prey in the midst of an endless hunt.There is something about this place, I feel its gaze on my body, my skin creeps and instinctively I cringe, but I try to fight it and raise my head."COME OUT AT ONCE!" I shout into the void and feel as a laugh hits me and I twist my mouth, I want to grab whatever was laughing at me.The anger in me is palpable, it's like a wave of energy coming out of my body and disturbing this darkness around me."You won't win! I will never give up!" I spoke with conviction and this time I started running, I needed to find a way out of this place.A place that I was dragged every time I got too tired, every time I dared to dream, that I had been running and trying to fight since I was 8 years old,
