“I want what your father kept with you before he died.” Zeus said as a matter of fact, his long crooked jaw tightening like he wasn’t expecting no for an answer.Torin on the other hand looked like he had no idea what he was talking about. “I have no idea what you are talking about, Zeus. And chaining me like this when we should be allies would do no good to you. You were once one of my father’s best. You were my brother's confidant.”Zeus broke out into a dark fit of laughter. Athena smirked as if she was enjoying the show.“Don’t play jokes with me, you weakling. I was never loyal to your family because I love them. I wanted to be god, and getting close to the ones who had the power was my only way.” Zeus sneered. That seemed to undo Torin’s patience.“Don’t call me a weakling when it’s you who is the son of a man who was beheaded for hiding away when he was supposed to go to war, and you the son who pretended to be dead just because…”A sickening punch followed Torin’s words. Zeus

Elira pulled her hood up to cover half of her face inside the car, Imogene was seated in the passenger’s seat, eyes and mind calculating as she scanned the area called ‘the dark wood’ that they had just arrived in.“Felt like she just left.” Imogene stated. “I was about to say the same thing.” Elira replied. They faced each other, nodded in unison then pulled the car doors open and alighted.The area was dead silent but there were lights around that illuminated the vast lone area.“I still can’t believe her powers did that to us all. Silas is still immobile.” Imogene said, her breath producing cold puffs.“Silas would be okay.” Elira replied as she walked forward.Their boots brushed against the dead leaves and broken twigs littering the floor, and the air smelled of copper.They walked in silence for a few more paces until they came upon a clearing. Elira stopped first when she sighted blood.It was smeared across the jagged face of a boulder—thick, dark, and nearly black in the moon

Before the magic could hit Garrick, Elira held out hers to stop Imogene’s. The fire died instantly and Imogene’s magic retreated. Her breathing turned labored as her head jerked towards Elira.“You dared stop me?” She snapped at Elira who met her hard gaze with the same intensity.Garrick inserted his arrows back into his back and crossed the short space between them to stop in front of a livid Imogene. “You know you can’t kill me, stop trying.” Garrick said to her in his usual arrogant tone.Imogene turned back to him, her anger piqued. “I can now, Garrick. I will blow you up till you turn into unrecognizable ashes and all that would be left of your legacy is lies.” Her tongue went hard on the last word.“I never lied to you.” Garrick’s hard voice finally softened.Imogene scoffed, turning to Elira for a moment, then back to him. “You know what? Get out of my way, I have business to attend to.” Garrick immediately caught her hand before she could step past him. Her eyes slowly trace

Among the crowd who had witnessed what happened tonight were Luna Athena, Alpha Zeus, Alpha Silas, Imogene, and Elira, including ex Twilight pack members. They had all been part of the chaos tonight. The ones who didn’t witness it had either been sacrificed to the curse through the chaos or had ran away.It was a messy night. Luna Athena had wanted to interfere Torin and Freya’s session but Zeus had pulled her back. “Your action is not so wise right now. Stay.” He had whispered into her ears.Imogene and Elira had watched with both feelings of enthusiasm and failure. They had not expected the night to turn like this. Torin ought to die and they were supposed to take Freya home. They were losing. They would also lose if Torin ever bounce back to his feet in his original power form.“Freya,” Hunter Garrick called his daughter’s name with a kind of intensity that made his lips tremble. He stood there, looking with wonder at his daughter, while he had just witnessed her calm a beast. The

“Enough.” Torin commanded, and they all went silence. The word wasn’t shouted. Deep, rasped, and powerful—it came from the doorway.Torin stood there, pale but tall, his eyes molten with fury and devotion. His hands still rested on Freya’s shoulders, but now he stepped beside her like a shield.Even though he hadn’t reclaim is throne as Alpha yet, his dominance was potent. The effect he had on them was beyond him being their Alpha. But of course, except for the ones who still had their reservations towards him.Freya turned immediately to look at him and her wolf growled inwardly. Only her could hear it, or maybe him too? Because right then, he looked at her. His eyes carried lots of emotions and unsaid words. Freya wished she could hear them.“He’s awake,”“Our Alpha”“Holy moon”“It’s really him”Different comments went on as murmurs as they awaited him to address them. Even Caleb was now looking at him like it was the first time he was seeing him in years.Torin returned his attent
