Hera looked at the old worn-out book, which turned brown due to its lack of use. Just with a single glance, one can tell that the book is sacred and important. It has some scripts and drawings on its cover.
Something is written on the book cover in a foreign language and they guessed that it must be the language of the Shadows.
"What is this language? None of us read this book" Hera pointed out.
Leo, Logan and Isaac frowned. They are now standing in Isaac's office in the Black moon pack. They came for the book.
The language in the book is foreign and no one knows how to read it. Hera examined the book and opened a few pages to see if they find anything useful, but they found nothing. Just when she was about to close the book, Isaac saw something familiar on one page.
"Wait" he stopped Hera from closing the book so that he could take a closer look at the picture.
It's the picture of an old key in rose gold colour. One end is
In the Blood moon pack, Lionel is tied to a chair in his room in the packhouse. Cassandra is hovering over him with a smirk. Lionel's wife is lying on the floor lifelessly, her vacant eyes staring into space. Blood is flowing from the different cuts in her body. A Lycan is holding Claire tightly. She is struggling to free herself from his hold, but his hold is unyielding."Please, don't hurt him" Claire is begging Cassandra.But Cassandra smirked evilly and twisted the dagger that she pierced into Lionel's shoulder earlier. Lionel screamed with pain. Claire doubled her efforts to free herself and save her father."Stop, please don't hurt him" Claire cried with grief.Cassandra turned to look at Claire with a calculating gleam in her eyes."Then tell me, where is that stone?" she demanded again.Claire and Lionel refused to tell about the oval black stone that makes the shadow stone complete. The shadow stone will have two parts. The key and
"What the hell is happening here?" Cassandra demanded angrily. Her voice was louder than usual and her face turned red with anger. Lionel looked at his daughter with determination. "Remember what I told you, Claire. Always Hera's life comes first. You have to become her shield. Find that key and return the Shadow stone to the Shadow keepers. Don't fail to keep Hera safe like I failed to save her mother. Make me proud" he advised her. Claire nodded with teary eyes. Cassandra couldn't stand anymore. She became livid and slapped Claire hard enough for her to bleed from the cut near the corner of her lips. "Bitch, I am asking you something. How dare you to ignore me and insult me like this" Cassandra pulled Claire's head back by pulling her hair hard. Claire winced with pain, but refuse to look away from her father. Lionel knows it's time to do what he planned to do. When his elders send him on this mission to protect Laila, he gifte
They dispersed and began to search for Claire around the pond. They searched every inch of the forest around the pond, but everyone came back empty-handed. "We didn't find her anywhere. I think she must have run away" one of them informed the Lycan who was holding Claire in the packhouse. His name is Mark and Cassandra bought him with money. Most of the Lycans who are working for her are bought with money. She will only turn people whom she needs into puppets by killing them and inserting her master's essence into their bodies, just like she tried with Leo. Mark fumed with anger. He is worried that Cassandra would kill him if he loses Claire today. He saw with his eyes how vicious and dangerous Cassandra is. So he doesn't want to gamble with his life because of Claire. He wants money and Cassandra is giving him more money than he could imagine. But he is not allowed to make mistakes like this one. It might cost him dearly. "That bitch might not gone far. Sear
Leo growled at the Lycans with anger who tried to hurt Claire.Claire on the other hand is swinging between sleepiness and wakefulness. She can hear the voices of her friends. She is glad that they found her. But her happiness morphed into horror when she remember the last thing before she fainted.'Was I raped by them?' she thought with horror and tears began to roll down from the corner of her eyes.Hera noticed that her friend is crying."Claire, you are safe now. We found you" she tried to assure, but that only made Claire cry harder.Hera and Leo began to get worried seeing her like that."What have you done?" Leo demanded angrily. He wanted to rip them into pieces for hurting his girl like this. But he needs to act rationally and find out what exactly happened.The Lycans began to panic and looked at their Alpha who is still in his Lycan form for help. Logan on the other hand is waiting for them to break and confess what h
"Now, you will start working for us. You will follow your Alpha and show where your loyalty is" Logan began firmly.All the Lycans including Mark fell onto their knees and inclined their heads when their Alpha commanded their loyalty. No matter their intentions, every Lycan of the pack vows to be loyal to their Alpha at all times. They promise to never commit any wrong which would directly affect their Alpha and his interests. Even though they are beasts, they are loyal to their Alpha."We will always be loyal to our Alpha," they said in unison.Logan gave them a curt nod."That's what I expected" Logan murmured.The Lycans stayed on the ground with their heads down, patiently waiting for his next command."Brother?" Leo is confused. He is not understanding why his brother is not punishing these Lycans who went against the pack rules."Not now Leo" Logan gently reminded him that they have an audience.Leo understood what
On the other hand, Leo helped Claire to sit up. He too sat beside her and let her lean on him."Are you alright?" he asked her worriedly.Claire nodded her head. She is alright now. She is feeling safe and now she is confident that they can defeat Cassandra. By listening to their words, she understood they came before something bad happened to her. She is glad for that as well."If you would have told us about all of this earlier, then you wouldn't have to face all of this alone. Don't you trust us? Why did you hide such a big thing from us?" he demanded softly. He is hurt that she didn't deem him worthy enough to share her secrets with him.They have been good friends for as long as he could remember. Logan always had his friends and was busy with his training as the next Alpha. But Leo never had to shoulder the burden of being the Alpha. So he used to spend his time with his friends and doing silly things which all the kids would do. Logan had to grow u
They decided to hide Claire in the Blood moon pack, where no one recognises her. Isaac promised to take good care of Claire and she was kept in his parent's room, which is not used by anyone. No one goes there and she will be safe from prying eyes until they are ready to take her back.By nightfall, Leo was instructed to stay in Logan's cabin for a few days and grow the length of his hair just like Logan used to have. Cassandra doesn't want Logan and Hera together. So now Leo would grow his hair and dress up like Logan, while Logan would pretend and dress up like Leo.The twins are not done with confusing Cassandra yet. They momentarily want her to feel like everything is falling into place, just like they planned earlier. So she would relax and give them a chance to take her by surprise.Cassandra is on edge. Today is not a favourable day for her. First, she failed to install her master's essence into Leo and then Claire escaped. A few hours ago she received th
After making sure that Cassandra is sound asleep, Logan and Hera went in search of Lionel. A Lycan guard was stationed outside Lionel's room on the second floor. Logan and Hera decided to check if Lionel is still kept as a captive in his room. Logan walked past the guard who bowed his head and opened the door for his Alpha. When they walked inside, they are shocked when they are hit by the strong scent of blood. They noticed that blood is everywhere and the room is literally bathed in it. "My God" Hera muttered feeling uneasy. The dead body of Lionel's wife is yet to be removed from the room. With just a glance at her body, one can tell that she was tortured before killing her. "She was torturing my people in my home and I couldn't find out" Logan muttered with regret. Hera could understand how he must be feeling. "We don't know that she is so evil. We would have been careful if we know about her earlier. It's no one's mistake. Don't b
