The Darkside of the Moon   Chapter 92 - A Masked Phantom
The air thickens, becoming nearly unbreathable, as if the oxygen has been sucked out of the atmosphere. She can feel it nowâits gaze on her, searing her flesh from a distance. Thereâs a low hum vibrating through her bones, an energy so familiar, so insidious, she can taste it in the back of her throat.Without warning, the entity emerges from the shadows, and Selenaâs breath catches in her throat. It stands before her, its form wavering as though reality struggles to contain it. Itâs both corporeal and ethereal, a mass of darkness that writhes and pulses with malevolent intent. Its eyes, if they can even be called that, glisten like oil in the moonlight, locking onto Selena with an ineffable hunger. It doesnât speakâat least not with words. Its presence alone is enough to bamboozle her senses, to flood her mind with images too horrific to comprehend.The entity moves toward her, slow, deliberate, as if savoring each step closer to its prey. Selena wants to scream, but her voice falter

In the depths of the shadows, she trembles at the beast she believes stalks her every step. Yet, when the moment of revelation comes, it is no beast at all. What stands before her is something far stranger, far more human. The days spent fearing the monster behind every door, the dark shape haunting her dreams during the night, now seem foolish as the door finally opens, revealing not claws or fangs, but a mirror.What she once dreaded as a creature of nightmaresâhulking, grotesqueâwas merely a mask, a facade that hid something far more insidious. Beneath that mask lies a truth that defies her every assumption, something altogether unfamiliar yet infinitely more dangerous. The true terror does not come from the monstrous form she expected, but from the simplicity of its real face. How easily her mind spun nightmares from shadows, fabricating horrors that were never truly there.She had prepared herself for the beast of her nightmares, but what came instead bore no resemblance to the t

Selena sits in the dimly lit room of Demikaâs apartment, which hums with an unsettling quiet, the tension palpable as if the walls themselves are listening in. Her fingers clutching the rough edges of the wooden table, knuckles stark white with tension against her skin. The air in the room is oppressive, thick with the unspoken weight of fear and uncertainty. The dull amber light flickers above, casting wavering shadows across her face as her piercing blue eyesâglowing faintly in the low lightâshift between Chloe and Demika. The amorous duo sit across from her, their eyes fixated on Selena's face, searching for answers as if the words sheâs just spoken could shift the very fabric of their understanding. Chloeâs jaw tightens, her usually soft features sharpened by the tension in her brow. Demika sits still, her expression torn between curiosity and unease, her fingers tapping nervously against the table as she digests what sheâs just heard.Chloeâs voice cuts through the silence like

Demikaâs breath is heavy, her eyes fixed on the door where Selena just disappeared. She turns to Chloe, her own heart still racing. âWhat do we do now?â she asks, her voice barely a whisper.Chloe doesnât answer immediately. She walks back to the bed where Demikaâs seated, sits beside her reticently. The weight of the revelation is still settling in, but beneath the shock, something else stirsâshe knows thereâs much more to this newly unearthed revelation, considering the fact that so much have been happening around them lately. Her pulse quickens, not just from fear or confusionânothing really surprises her anymoreâĶ after all this is Clovis City, where anything paranormal is the new normâbut something deeper. She meets Demikaâs gaze, and the electricity in the room shifts.The world outside the small, dimly lit room is unravelingâbloodlines and curses, ancient powers returning, enemies lurking in the shadowsâbut in this moment, the storm outside fades away. All that remains is the pa

Alpha Wilson sits alone in the dim recesses of his quarters, the faint glow of the crescent moon ray flickering against the cold stone walls of the pack house. The room is suffocatingly silent, save for the distant howl of the wind slicing through the trees outside, as well as mutts in distant places, outside the borders of Clovis City. His thoughts churn violently, a tempest of paranoia and strategy, each idea more sinister than the last. The weight of Clovis Cityâs safety presses down on his shoulders like a boulder too massive to shift. Even though he doesnât fully understand the gravity of the dangers that lurk around, trying to devour Clovis City, there are a few domestic threats he completely understand and must deal with before anything else.His mind seethes with the nomenclature of his enemiesâDorian, Thorne, Luciusâtraitors to his reign, Alphas who sought to usurp his power and plunge Clovis City into chaos.His jaw clenches. How could they have been so foolish? Did they tru

The next day, the atmosphere in the pack house is charged with tension. The betas of Ironfang, Blackstone, and Poniros-Lycus stand before Wilson, their faces a mixture of apprehension and anger. They know why theyâve been summoned; the fall of their Alphas has left a vacuum of power, and they are not fools to think Wilson intends to leave it unfilled.Wilson sits at the head of the ginormous table in the conference room, Jason standing at his side, his presence a silent reminder of where true authority lies. The betas shift uncomfortably under Wilsonâs cold gaze, waiting for him to speak.âYou know why youâre here,â Wilson begins, his voice sharp as a blade. âYour Alphas have been convicted of treason against Clovis City. They will be dealt with. But I did not summon you here to discuss their fate.âThe betas exchange wary glances, but no one dares to interrupt.âI summoned you because your packs need new leaders,â Wilson continues, his gaze piercing each of them in turn. âLeaders who

The air is thick with anticipation, each item in the room a silent reminder of the grim procedure about to unfold. This is not a place of justice, but of finality, where the murky implements of death await their next task with mechanical indifferenceâa bizarre reminder that justiceâs a motherfuckerâĶ and as for memories of them, there ainât no guarantee either.In the sterile chill of the execution chamber, Dr. Percy moves like a shadow. His steps are light, purposeful, and filled with a macabre elegance that belies the horror about to unfold. The room itself, while meticulously clean, carries the weight of a thousand deathsâeach more grotesque than the last. The faint hum of fluorescent lights and the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitors create a evocative symphony, punctuated only by the occasional clink of metal instruments on the nearby tray. This is his stage, and he, the executioner, is ready for his grotesque performance.Dr. Percy, ever the specter in this grim theatre, moves

Courage is an act of hope and hope is born of courage; act of courage creates hope, and thereâs nothing more essential to the living than courageâthey learn, unlearn and relearnâĶ shaping and reshaping their world piece by piece, small slice by small slice; slowly it seems, yesâĶ but consistently, and love conquers all eventually. Thereâs always a brave fool in the face of adversity, one whoâs brave enough to mockingly embrace the murky waters of perpetual danger only to protect those they care about. And in this case, foolishness becomes a compliment rather than a curseâhis ignorance becomes his strength.Alpha Wilson has become that brave fool in the face of an unknown adversity because of his unconditional love for Selena. His heart, once a fortress of reason, now beats in the lavish halls of a foolâs paradise; a kingdom built on illusion, waiting for realityâs inevitable eviction notice. Heâlike all who fall blindly into loveâĶ or should it be crash into love?âremains unaware of the

The Darkside of the Moon   Chapter 131 - The Ultimate Battle
The battlefield is alive with pandemoniumâa riot of sound and fury that consumes the empyrean red day. Blood scents the air like a profane incense, mingling with the acrid tang of adrenaline and the metallic resonance of clashing steel. Above it all, the cloud-quilted sun hangs like a sinister overseer, its effulgent glow casting distorted shadows across the combatants as though mocking their mortal toil.Wilson is a maelstrom, his pugnacious spirit personified in every fluid motion of claw and fang. "This is it!" he shouts over the cacophony, his urban bravado slicing through the chaos. "You came looking for a fight, and old man, did you find one!"The wolves of Clovis surge forward, their snarls harmonizing into a primal symphony of aggression. Among them, Jason cuts through the ranks like a living weapon, his combative ferocity unmatched as he tears into Williamâs vampyric vanguard. "Keep it tight, people!" Jason bellows, his tone laced with urgency and grit. "We donât let these le
The Darkside of the Moon   Chapter 130 - Primus Vocanelia
The execution arena lies shrouded beneath an oppressive, tenebrous sky, the air thick with an empyrean cacophony of impending doom. The battleground, once a verdant expanse, now reeks of bloodlust and imminent death.Torrents of malevolent energy seem to converge here, twisting the atmosphere into a grotesque theater for the clash of titanic wills.Selena stands among her comrades, her hybrid senses hyper-aware of the electrifying tension seeping into the marrow of her bones. The sheer gravity of this confrontation sets her heart pounding, a tempestuous drumbeat in her chest.She scans the opposition, her eidetic memory recalling every cursed detail from Demika's prophetic vision. Yet, seeing the Dark King himselfâWilliam the Conquerorâin the flesh is something else entirely.He stands at the forefront of his legion, an effulgent figure of eldritch horror. His ornate armor glints in the dim light, etched with runes of ancient malice. Around him, his progenyâa sybaritic collection of p
The Darkside of the Moon   Chapter 129 - Moment of Truth
Wilson moves with a quiet purpose, pouring them each a drink. The amber liquid swirls in the glasses, catching the soft light and reflecting the warmth that now lingers between them.He sets the glasses on the table before settling into the chair across from her, his gaze steady but softened. Selena, her towel wrapped tightly around her as if it could shield her from the weight of what comes next, takes her seat opposite him.The desk between them feels symbolic, a battlefield turned meeting ground. It had borne witness to the fiery collision of their desires, and now it would serve as the platform for the conversation they could no longer avoid. Wilson's eyes meet hers, the intensity of his gaze a reminder of the bond they have forged.Selena takes a slow sip of her drink, the liquid burning a trail down her throat, grounding her in the moment. She sets the glass down, her fingers tracing its rim as she gathers her thoughts.For weeks, she had run from this confrontation, her heart h
The Darkside of the Moon   Chapter 128 - The Inferno Within
The tension in the air is almost suffocating, like the weight of storm clouds about to burst, as Selena approaches the towering gates of the Redbone Pack House. The building looms in the golden twilight, a monument of authority and history.Her steps falter for a moment, her hybrid instincts warring between flight and the undeniable pull of her bond with Alpha Wilson. She tightens her resolve. Two weeks of hiding had led to this moment, and there was no turning back.Inside, Wilson buries himself in a mountain of documents sprawled across his oak desk, the weight of leadership pressing heavily on his broad shoulders. His mind, however, is far from the affairs of the packâĶ a picture of barely restrained chaos. Piles of documents litter his deskâeach one a distraction he has tried to sink himself in to help manage his emotional turmoil.His thoughts circle back to Selena with frustrating regularity, the woman who had invaded every fiber of his being, only to vanish without explanation.
The Darkside of the Moon   Chapter 127 - The Continuum
The soft knock at the cottage door rouses Demika from the depths of her trance, her heart racing as she emerges from the haze of memoriesâmemories not her own, yet as vivid and haunting as any she has ever known.Morning light seeps in, streaking the dim room with harsh lines that cut through the shadows, marking the end of her night of revelation. She blinks at the sunlight with a slight start, realizing, only now, that she has been suspended in the remnants of the past for hours. Selenaâs voice reaches her ears, carrying both worry and curiosity."DemiâĶ Demika," Selena says, pushing the door open and stepping inside. She stops, eyes widening as she takes in her friend, studying her with a blend of disbelief and awe. âYou look... different.âA faint smirk tugs at the corner of Demikaâs lips. âI am different,â she says quietly, her voice carrying an edge of something ancient, something foreign. âYou have no idea.âSelena glances over her shoulder as Chloe enters, her expression one of
The Darkside of the Moon   Chapter 126 - Toying with the Past
The witching hour wraps Clovis City in a cloak of shadows, its darkness laced with whispers of secrets and spells unspoken. Within the flickering light of her grandmotherâs old cottage, Demika sits, her eyes gleaming with the fervor of a newfound obsession. Powerâa current now thrumming through her veins like molten metalâspills over her senses, intoxicating, consuming. She yearns to explore its limits, to delve deeper into the legacy left in her blood, one that has made her the most formidable in her lineage. Tonight, her thirst for mastery borders on ravenous; no knowledge, no spell, no secret can escape her.But first, she indulges in a bit of mischief. Her curiosity drifts to Chloe, her love interest, and she murmurs an incantation under her breath, fingers tracing arcane symbols in the air. She plunges herself into the past, her spirit slicing through the veil of time, her consciousness landing centuries ago.She arrives to find a silver-haired, pint-sized vampire toddling unstea
The Darkside of the Moon   Chapter 125 - The Legacy
The days bleed into one another in a dim cadence of restless hours and unbroken silence, with Demika hidden away in the secluded corners of Minamaâs cottage. The air within these walls is thick, a heavy shroud of mourning still tinged with Granny Minamaâs spirit, even though her presence now lingers as only shadows and echoes.Demika clings to her solitude like a lifeline, guarding it fiercely within the shadows of Granny Minamaâs cottage. This sanctuary, thick with ancestral whispers and cloaked in twilight, is her one remaining tether to the world before her transformation.Her days bleed into nightfall, melting into each other as she consumes herself with a single focus: to probe the surge of power that crashed into her like a tempest the night her grandmotherâs body was lowered into the earth. This power is unlike anything she has ever feltâancient, electric, and dangerous, thrumming beneath her skin like a pulse with its own fierce will.By the muted glow of candlelight, Demika l
The Darkside of the Moon   Chapter 124 - Impetus Potentiae
Loneliness is a silent architect, building castles of solitude in the minds of those who wander without tether. Identity is a dance of masks, but in crisis, the mask slips, revealing not clarity but a fog, as if one were peering through glass, shattered and smeared. However, to lose oneself is not to wander; it is to walk through a foreclosure of oneâs own soul, each familiar landmark of self closing its doors with a hollow thud. But solitude is the truest mirror, a place where whispers echo louder than the clamors of a crowd, where silence is the only faithful companion. In the heartâs quiet corridors, the comfort of isolation mingles with a cold draft of longing, one that no borrowed company can fill. Like a shadow dancing in oneâs periphery, a fractured sense of belonging haunts the fringes of an empty room. And yet, perhaps loneliness is the sculptor, and solitude the chisel, whittling away the superfluous to reveal the form beneath. Some seek company to escape it; others confro
The Darkside of the Moon   Chapter 123 - Shadowed Returns
The night drapes itself in a humid cloak, thick and cloying, clinging to every surface and casting a fremescent tension that prickles the skin as Jason waits in the dim warmth of his apartment. After the long, solemn hours of Granny Minama's funeral, he can still feel the weight of Wilsonâs directive pressing upon him, a derisive whisper urging him to slip the truth from Gabrielle without alerting her to his intent. The assignment is deceptively simple, yet Jason knows the fine line he walks: one misstep, one hint of calculation, and her walls will go up.She arrives just past midnight, her silhouette framed by the streetlight outside before stepping into the flickering glow of his candlelit living room. Shadows dance along cluttered shelves, over worn furniture, and around the dark corners of the room, painting an almost ominous scene. Jason greets her with a kiss, his hand grazing her cheek as their eyes meet, hers soft and trusting, unknowing of his hidden purpose.In that moment,
