The moonlight made the quiet grove look magical. Tiana, who was hidden in the dark, moved quietly and confidently through the shadows. She felt both excited and scared as her heart raced in her chest. She was going towards Lily's father's study room.Tiana recollected everything Audrey told her. Collect the journal, bring it to her and everything will be fine. She knew she did trust Audrey blindly but she did so because Audrey was the only person she felt close to in the entire pack. After her best friend died in an home accident they were both involved in 5 years ago, Audrey was the one who got closer to her and made her feel human again despite the huge scars she retained on her leg and arms.She was close to Lily before but felt the latter got too full of herself because Tyler, who was also her first crush fell for Lily, and even Jax, her second crush and "love of her life", couldn't leave Lily's side. Lily got everything she wanted and slowly, her disinterest in Lily turned to pur

Sarah and Aunt Belinda, after days of trekking, finally arrived at the grove. Absolutely tired, they went towards the area where Lily's parents and the elders had gathered. The atmosphere was tense, and people present were already talking. As they got closer to the high table, people couldn't help but look at them intently, hoping for any news.Rebekah stood up and couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Sarah and Aunt Belinda coming. "Is it true?" she asked, her voice shaking with both hope and fear. "Is Lily really alive?"Sarah nodded. "Yes, she's alive," she confirmed. "We found proof that she's out there and met someone who saw her."Aunt Belinda, with tears welling up in her eyes, said, "We followed the path and found evidence of a fight, footprints, and other clues that suggest she was taken by the vampires. But we have reasons to believe she's still alive."Henry stood up, with hope and worry on his face, and stepped closer, "Please tell us everything." His voice was steady but

One of the search teams found a hidden cave deep in the middle of the forest. The entrance was covered with thick plants, making it a rather obvious spot for someone to hide the stolen journal.The one who spotted it quickly signalled out to the other teams and they all gathered at the cave. They approached cautiously, on high alert, knowing that there could be danger lurking inside.As they entered the cave, their footsteps echoed against the walls. And there it was—the stolen journal, placed on a rock. They felt relieved and triumphant. Their hard work had paid off.Lily's father reached out, his hand trembling as he took hold of the journal. It represented their hopes, secrets, and the strength they shared. Now that they had the journal back, they could continue preparing for the upcoming battle.Meanwhile, Don and Tyler couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling they got, as did Henry who told them to file out and keep a formation so they could be ready for any sneak attack.Don walked

She reached out to him, her touch gentle but urgent.Tyler, losing strength, looked into her eyes but saw Lily's eyes. He gasped when he realised it was Lily, holding him and staring at him with her black but dreamy eyes. His voice strained. "Lily, Lily it's you…I... I don't know if I can fight this," he confessed. "I feel it taking over." He shouted in pain.Lily held onto Tyler's arm tightly, refusing to let go. "No, Tyler," she said firmly. "You can fight this. We'll find a way to save you."Tyler bit his lips as the pain got more intense, "Ahhhh!" He let out a soulful cry."Violetta! What are you doing?!" A male Omega screamed from the other side of the field."The General! He's down!" She shouted back.Erik moved swiftly across to them, killing each vampire in the way, and examined Tyler, "You can fight this…just hold on." He said to Tyler and shifted his gaze to Violetta, "Get him to safety. I'll cover you."Violetta nodded back and held Tyler's back, with his hand over her shou

She felt it - wonder and fear. Knowing she had the blood of powerful devilish werewolves inside her was overwhelming."Ashtarah…" with her signature venomous voice, she pronounced that name. That was her real goddess mother - the one the wolf goddess usurped and stole all her glory from, the real creator of all the species who now fight senselessly on the realm she designed. That was her real mother, her life source and who she knew destined her for greatness. With her name came a string of energy that electrified Audrey's body making her burst out in an insidious laughter."Ashtarah! I serve noone… you are my destiny…. Ashtarah!" And she bellowed in laughter that echoed through the woods.It was a part of her that she had kept hidden, but now, she couldn't ignore it. She wouldn't hide it anymore.Her eyes glowed red as the pendallion on her neck vibrated, Tiana's soul crying out through it's glass.••••••••••••~LILY'S POV~The smell of acid burned my nose.
