"Everything is in place, Luna Crystal. We just need to signal the others and we will proceed. Have you been able to get in touch with the alpha?"Crystal shook her head as she rubbed her temple. The nightmares were getting worse and worse and each time the burning sensation on her bite made her want to tear her skin out. What was her mate being subjected to and would he be able to signal the or would they have to adopt plan B based on the assumption that Ace was no longer able to be with them?Seeing her distracted and troubled, Kai sighed. He knew she was worried about Ace. They all were. While all of them had the utmost faith in their Alpha, he was weak and had only just returned from death. And now he had to be the one who had to go alone again. Unfortunately, they might still lose him... something that he had already ordered him, Matt and Healer Juan to be prepared for."Crystal, we can at most lay low for the next two days. After that, we will lose the little element of surprise

The beach was littered with destruction and wounded shifters who had just been forced to retreat to the safety of the sea and were now almost dragging their feet off the shore. Though they had been well prepared and fought valiantly, the opposition had used something that had been unexpected to them.As they escaped Indivana towards relative safety knowing that they had lost the battle but not the war. However, the small battle had exposed to them their biggest weakness and fear. Uncertainty coursed through their minds and fear of the future flowed in their veins. Thankfully, though they were gravely injured, they had not lost their comrades. But that feeling was short-lived as General Kai reported their findings to Beta Nate Hunter who had just joined their troops."Indiva is not using demons as we expected but something worse."With orders to rest and recuperate, Kai took Nate aside and spoke," Most of the people who have joined our cause have done so to avenge their loved ones who

The moments just before dawn, the two armies stood facing each other. For the first time, the battle was going to be war instead of hunting from the dark and stalking. On one side stood the countless undead, ready to fight the battle like puppets and pawns. On the other stood those who looked at the faces of their loved ones for the last time, hardening their hearts to kill the bodies... so that the souls of their loved ones would rest in peace. While the shifters shuffled, itching to go to war and kill the demons that stood behind the undead, Luna Crystal Snowheart stood on a raised mound just behind her own army, her eyes searching desperately for her mate. She had hoped and prayed that she would be able to find him before the war began but it seemed impossible now. She hadn't felt him cheat on her but she was also unable to contact him, which meant that he was still with the siren and this made her anxious and sick. In return, her own baby seemed to be restless as well, kicking h

Aenora hurried behind the tiny bird with narrowed eyes. She needed to see where Goddess Indiva was going. That Goddess wanted nothing more than all the shifters to be eradicated and Luna Crystal to lose her life. And yet, now when Crystal was about to engage in a fight with Ace, the goddess was fleeing instead of staying to help or watch. Aenora searched the sky as the sun's rays hurt her eyes, looking for the tiny bird which had disappeared into the sky. Was Ace correct? This Goddess Indiva had only planned to use them and then kill them. But she had promised that if they succeeded in defeating Luna Crystal, she would let Ace and her leave together so that they could live happily... The beautiful face turned into a scowl and she touched the late trunk of a tree as she ordered," Tell me where the goddess has disappeared."A small hollow appeared in the tree as it spoke," The Goddess has entered the secret cave at the end of these woods. Our Goddess Siren, the Goddess Indiva is in a t

As the net was cast and Indiva prepared to disappear, Aenora was not going to be easily defeated. Summoning all her powers, Aenora filled the air with pheromones so strong that the air started to feel sickeningly cloying. While Erin in her wolf form was barely affected other than feeling a bit hazy, Goddess Indiva, with little and now almost exhausted power, was forced to her knees. But Indiva was not going to let go so easily and continued to chant the spells, tightening the hold of the net on Crystal lest the wolf tries to escape or attack her. But Crystal seemed uncaring and unaware of her surroundings. Probably the shock of losing her mate and having to live with his betrayal seemed to finish her will to live. But Aenora- the siren on the other end had gone crazy as she continued to attack Indiva until finally, Indiva was unable to escape and finally lay panting on the floor as their almost exhausted powerful auras glowed faintly around them,. Seeing that she had brought the vill
