It was a picture of me, well not exactly me. The woman in the old photo had a striking resemblance to me. So striking that one could not even ignore the similarity.

“Sandro? Come look at this,” I managed to say shakily.

When I stretched the photo to him, his eyes widened. I'm sure my face looked exactly like that when I saw it.

“How is this… who is this…. What??” he spluttered.

With a frustrated groan, I sat on the carved bench in front of us. “I don't need any of this right now. What is this?”

He joined me on the bench, still staring at the photograph in shock.

If I had never met my mum, I would say this was her. Who could this be? I racked my head for anything my mum might have told me but then I remembered that she hardly ever talked about her family.

“This is impossible,” Sandro whispered.

“Exactly! How could there be a photograph of me in some old ass book when I literally just turned twenty two.”

Sandro shook his head. “That's questionable but that's not the only thing I me

    The only part of my body that I could move was my eye and my lips. “Let me go you bastard,” I screeched.Sandro's roar shook the clearing. Warriors surged forward with him, weapons raised, claws extended. I prayed that whatever they wanted to do would get me out of this position.A shimmer cut through the air.The first warrior pushed towards us and flew backward, his body crumpling to the ground. Another tried. Same result. Giovanni shifted mid-leap and slammed into an invisible barrier between us so hard that I heard bones crack.Sandro shifted back to human form. “No, no, no!” He threw himself at the barrier. His face morphed into pain as his body bounced off. He tried again. And again. Each impact caused the barrier to vibrate but he didn't stop.My eyes welled up with tears. “Please stop,” I begged him.“Alpha, stop!” Trevor grabbed his arm. “You’ll hurt yourself!”“I don't give a fuck!” he wrenched free and charged again.The shield still stayed in place.Inside it, my eyed dart

    Sofia.She stood before me with glowing eyes, just like Malachi's. Her face was pale, even paler than they had been before. I didn't want to accept it but deep down I knew, there might be no coming back from this point. “Sofia?” My voice cracked. “My goodness, what is he doing to you?”She didn't respond. Didn't even blink. Just stared at me with those hollow, possessed eyes. Sandro's roar echoed across the clearing. It was filled with pain and anger. Sofia shifted. Her wolf looked larger than it usually is, with patches of black rot spreading across its fur.Makayla surged forward without hesitation. I didn't have time to think, to plan. My mate's cousin, possessed or not, was trying to hurt me and I needed to save myself first.I tried to reach out to her wolf but it was no use. Our wolves collided mid air. The hard impact sent shockwaves vibrating through my body. Sofia's wolf was stronger than I remembered, fueled by dark magic that made her strikes devastating. “Elara, I'm com

    “You two are really stupid, you know?” Malachi pointed out. “How could you create a ritual circle within my own ritual circle and not realise you're doing me a favour?”Horror washed over me. “What?’“I wasn't trying to stop your little reversal ritual.” His voice went far across the clearing. “I was feeding it. Every word you spoke, every drop of blood you spilled, you were powering MY ritual, not destroying it.”I looked at Sandro and saw my own terror reflected in his eyes.“The prophecy you tried to sever?” Malachi continued, pacing now like a professor giving a lecture. “That was never the anchor. YOU are the anchor. Two of the strongest fated mates in centuries, willingly pouring their powers into a ritual circle I created.” He spread his arms wide. “Thank you, by the way. You've made this so much easier than I anticipated.”“That's impossible,” Lady Thalia said, but her voice wavered. “The reversal ritual is ancient. Sacred. It can't be corrupted.”“And it wasn't. All I needed

    Elara’s POVI couldn't even ask what we could do now that the ritual was cut shut as more souls suddenly poured into the clearing. My eyes couldn't take an accurate count but they looked to be about fifteen to twenty of them at the time. Dead eyes stared from grey faces.Lin gasped in fright. She thought we had gotten past the risen dead, I thought so too.“Malachi is hell bent on not allowing you complete the reversal,” Makayla noted in my head. She had been itching to come out all this time but the battle was one of spirit and soul which meant, my magic came in handy.I agreed with her, surveying the environment and wondering where the hell they came from. Folklore has it that the only way out of the Luna temple was the same way you came. How did they join us at the top? Pushing the thoughts away, I steadied my stance and brewed the magic between my fingertips. These ones were new but they looked just like the others had looked. Dead, dirty, with some broken bones and exposed flesh

    Maria's POVMy heart had been heavy with pain and guilt for days, for over a week in fact. I couldn't function. I couldn't think or eat or sleep. All I wanted was to hear my mate's voice through our mind link telling me to relax, that everything was going to be just fine, and that it was all a misunderstanding.I waited, day after day but was met with continuous silence. Nothing. Just silence. My mate, the Beta of Moretti Brun, second in command to one of the most brutal Alphas in the coast, was a traitor. I had thought about it from every angle possible to give him every excuse available in the books.All so I could have an answer to one question.WHY?Why did he betray his pack? His Alpha? Me? Why did he belittle our bond like that? Most importantly, why didn't he think of our little girl who was about to be born? But right then, as I watched the battle that I had been watching for the past hours, one thing had changed. My mate was there, fighting for us like a man possessed and al

    ***END FLASHBACK***“How dare you ??!” Malachi's form flickered violently between solid form and shadow. “You dare attempt a reversal in MY ritual circle? Never!”“Watch us,” Sandro growled, stepping beside me.Malachi's hands shot out, black tendrils erupting toward us. But I was faster. My renewed magic intercepted his, surprising him. Lady Thalia took advantage of his few seconds of confusion to create a barrier between us and Malachi so we were not so close to him.He broke through the barrier in seconds but we had gotten some distance between us. “I'll hold him off!” she shouted. “Start the reversal!”Abandoning us, Malachi looked at his army that was being destroyed and began chanting again. His voice grew louder, more desperate. The crystal behind him pulsed harder and faster, bringing more colour to the reddened clearing. He was trying to complete his harvest before we could stop him.“We have to do this now,” Father Matteo's hands shook as he unrolled the scrolls. “Alpha, Lun
