LOGINOlivia POV“I will go into the Abyssal Void to search for the fruit,” I spoke, breaking the heavy silence that had settled over the hall.“You will do no such thing.”Karl interjected immediately, his voice firm and commanding, leaving no room for argument. His words echoed through the silent hall, making everyone instinctively look between the two of us.“You all said I am the Chosen One and that I am saddled with a heavy responsibility.”“I cannot just sit here and do nothing,” I spoke aloud, meeting every pair of eyes without flinching.“How can I save the world—or save anybody—if I can’t even survive my own bloodlines?” I asked, my voice calm yet unwavering.“It’s too dangerous, and the chances of success are less than one percent,” Karl argued.“Although you are strong and can hold your own against some enemies, without your wolf, how long do you honestly think you can survive in the Abyssal Void?” he demanded, his voice rising for the first time.The veins on his forehead bulged
Olivia’s POVKarl’s face tightened almost in noticeable , but I still noticed it. The veins on the back of his hand became visible as his fingers slowly curled into a fist. His lips parted as though he wanted to speak, yet no words came out. For the first time since I met him, Karl looked… hesitant. It wasn’t fear for himself. It was fear of telling me something that could change everything.“It has disrupted the balance holding everything together,” Karl finally said.“Your body is getting weaker… and it might collapse at any moment.”His words struck my chest like a heavy hammer. My ears rang.For a brief moment, every sound inside the hall disappeared.Amelia’s tiny hand was still holding mine, yet I could barely feel it.Collapse?Those words echoed endlessly inside my head.After surviving betrayal…After escaping death…After finally finding people who accepted me…Was fate really going to end everything now?I lowered my head, staring blankly at my trembling fingers.My finger
Olivia’s POV“Amelia,” Karl called softly, a slight frown appearing on his face.“It’s okay. Let her stay,” I chimed in before Amelia could protest.She giggled happily, immediately tightening her grip around my hand.I stretched out my free hand and ruffled her soft hair tenderly.Karl glanced at Amelia for a brief moment before turning away. He looked at Grandma Healer and nodded.“You can continue.”Grandma Healer turned toward me, worry written plainly across her aged face.“She’s fine… for now,” she repeated.I breathed out softly in relief.But then my mind caught onto her choice of words.For now.The relief in my heart immediately disappeared.My breathing slowed.“But…” she continued gently.My heart skipped a beat.I unconsciously held my breath, waiting for the rest of her sentence.“Her wolf has awakened,” Grandma Healer said quietly, “but her body cannot cope with it.”Karl’s brows knitted together.“What do you mean her body can’t cope?” he asked immediately.“When you f
Olivia POV I stepped out of the hall with Karl following closely behind me, the rest of the Moon Guardians moving in silent formation. No one spoke a single word. Yet their silence spoke louder than any conversation ever could. Some walked beside me. Others remained a few steps behind. None attempted to move ahead of me. It was as though they had silently decided that whatever awaited outside, they would face it together. Ready to stand beside me. Ready to protect me. Ready to fight. A strange warmth filled my heart. I had never experienced something like this before. Was this what loyalty truly meant? Was this what it felt like to be loved… to have people willingly stand behind you without asking for anything in return? I unconsciously straightened my back. My shoulders lifted. My head rose proudly. Whatever waited outside… I would face it. Together with them. We walked through the eastern wing until we reached the massive entrance leading outside. The moment I
Olivia POVA heavy silence settled over the grand hall after the little boy’s question.No one spoke again.The crackling sound of the burning torches along the stone walls became unusually loud, each flicker reminding everyone that Karl had yet to return.I folded my arms unconsciously.The uneasy feeling inside my chest refused to disappear.Something had changed.Even the older Moon Guardians, who usually carried themselves with calm confidence, now wore solemn expressions. Some stood in small groups whispering among themselves, while others remained silent with their eyes fixed on the entrance.Everyone was waiting.Waiting for answers.Waiting for Karl.Minutes passed slowly.Amelia gently tugged at my sleeve.“Big sister.”“Hmm?”“Do you think Uncle Karl found something bad?”I looked down at her worried face.She tried to hide it, but her fingers kept twisting the edge of her dress—a habit she had whenever she became anxious.“I don’t know,” I admitted honestly.“But whatever i
Olivia POVI paced around my room restlessly, my mind occupied with countless thoughts and different possibilities.“Black magic…” I soliloquized under my breath.Black magic was associated with Baalzelbul, the Evil God.I had read about it in ancient texts—records from the Dark Era, an age of endless bloodshed and unimaginable destruction.The catastrophe of that era was still spoken about today. Even centuries later, its horrors continued to haunt history, enough to give little children nightmares whenever the old stories were told.Back in the Blood Moon Pack, Alpha Kingsley had discovered traces of black magic and even an evil ritual.Then, during the Wolf Conference, I had begun hearing rumors that the Evil God Organization was becoming active again. Coupled with the ancient prophecies that had been foretold, everything was slowly beginning to fit together like scattered pieces of a puzzle.Yet…Something still felt incomplete.There was a missing piece I simply couldn’t grasp.K
