THE CURSED LUNA

We looked into each other and felt it hard to get away from his shining gaze. I knew he could feel it the same way. He's indeed my mate.''Whick pack do you come from?' He asked, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and excitement.His gaze lingered on the shackles binding me, and with a boldness that left me breathless, he reached out and touched the metal.I was shocked - his wolf didn't flinch, didn't weaken, as he made contact with the shackles. It was then I realized he was no ordinary thief - he was an Alpha, a powerful leader with a strength that rivaled my own pack's leader.'Alpha,' I whispered, my voice barely audible, my weakness evident. But he didn't seem to notice, his focus fixed on the treasures surrounding us.With the precision of a seasoned thief, he gathered precious jewels and stacked them in his bag, his movements fluid and calculated.Just as he packed all the treasures, he turned back to me with a piercing glare."Let me get you out of this place," he said, his voi

Josh lowered the window, and the soldiers' eyes scanned the interior of the car.One of them approached my side, he knocked on the glass and I felt a col shiver ran through me.''Lower your window,'' he barked with a firm and commanding voice.I was scared, my heart racing with fear of the consequences of being discovered.Would I drag me back to the Seven Tower Gate, that foreboding prison filled with vengeful wraiths? Hell no I really don't want to, I'm scared.Lyrien brought his pack card showing he's from the Red Velvet Pack, and the soldiers demeanor changed in an instant. They saluted hastily with utmost respect.''She's my mate," Lyrien explained, his voice calm and we'll said. ''We're coming from my father's burial. She's still in shock, that's why she's reacting like that"The soldiers apologized profusely and clear road for us make us free to go. Lyrien's timely intervention saved me againI breathed a sigh of relief as the tension dissipated, but my reprieve was short-lived

Suddenly, we were surrounded by a ring of werewolves fully armed, their eyes were glowing in the dark. They had set up a powder barrier the wolvesbane, it was weakening Lyrien powers and made him weak. I recognized the uniform wore by them, it is the same those men wore that night when I was captured by my father. Thy began shooting at our room, I was traumatized with the bullets piercing the nearly hit my bodies. Lyrien suddenly guarded me with his body, his eyes were so full of determination. he shown that he is ready to protect me even with his life on track.Suddenly the shooting seized, we didn't heard any sign of movement again, we first thought they had left, then we suddenly heard the sound of something thrown inside, it was another powder, this one is even more potent than the first. I felt my strength waning, as my body were weakening. Lyrien tried hard to get me composed but he was also affected by the powerful potion. Then we heard the sudden barging of the werewolves in

The silence was so oppressive, we all felt a physical force that that keep us all on ground. I couldn't control my heart as it continue pounding heavily in my chest, the sound from their steps echoing in my mind like a drumbeat. The witches moved so closer to me, their veils rustling softly, As they reached at my side one of them raised a hand, she pointed ber finger towards me."Aria," she said, her voice felt like a sigh. "You have been chosen."I felt scared as they moved closer to me, their eyes were so fixed on me with an unnerving intensity."What.... do you want from me?" I asked, my voice were breakingThe leader from the witch grasped my arm, her grip was like an ice. "We are taking you away, Aria. The Goddess has requested for you."And with that, they carried me away,none of those sitting even my father could sense while I was dragging away. I was dragged into a darkness so complete, it was as if the very light itself had been extinguished. I was at the hand of the gh

Lyrien eyes flashing red as he coughed out the wolvesbane's poison. Aria's face contorted in worry, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Lyrien, no! Oh, please...".Lyrien's gaze locked onto hers, his voice was weak but still reassuring. "Aria, I'm...I'm okay. Are you alright?", he still sounded worried for Aria.Aria's expression turned incredulous. "Me? You're the one who's...who's dying! How can you ask if I'm okay?"Lyrien's chuckle was faint, but it still held a hint of his usual arrogance. "Have you forgotten who I am, Aria? My power surpasses even the Alpha's. A mere wolvesbane can't affect my inner wolf."Aria's lips curled into a small smile, despite her tears. "You're still proud, even now."Lyrien's gaze softened. "Is the chain draining your energy again?"Aria nodded, with her voice which is barely above a whisper. "Your lost consciousness drained my life away more than the Seven Tower Chain ever could."With newfound determination, Lyrien tried to rise, his movements were sh
