The Last Enemy Ao3 Novels & Stories

“The real enemy is coming. Has been coming for centuries. And you are the only ones who can stop it.” “What enemy?” Kade asked. Aurora pointed to the sky. To the stars. To something beyond. “The Void,” she said. “And it hungers for everything.“

The rogue leader, once vengeful and driven by resentment, faced an Alpha united with his mate and a loyal companion. The courtyard became a battleground, the moon bearing witness to the tumultuous dance of wolves and the resolute stand against treacherous adversaries. I locked eyes with Arion, a history of pain and deception etched between us. "You thought you could tear us apart," I spat, my voice a low growl. "But you underestimated the bond between us." The clash intensified, fur and blood blending into a tableau of ferocity. Dominico, Zavier, and I moved with a synchronized precision, a testament to the unbreakable unity forged through trials and betrayals.

"Enemy? What enemy?" I sighed, the weight of the prophecy pressing down on me. "The old lady from The Crystal Moon Pack... she told me that an enemy is within us. She said this enemy would make Novel die twice, and if she dies, it would be my end. I’ve been so paranoid trying to make sure she doesn't die... I didn't know who to trust. I really don't know the truth of it all, but that's what she said."

The heavens and those who lived there were fucking with me in ways I thought I would never experience again. I closed my eyes for a brief moment, then I followed the means of my possible destruction, my damnation. An innocent that I was going to taint. Stain in colors so irreversibly murky it would take those same gods to deliver their little lamb from the hell he would come to know. Will this cycle ever end? I wondered as I slid into the back seat, joining my sacrificial offering. Leon. For you, to be rid of you, I will do everything. Everything. I swore to the blue-eyed devil.

This was annihilation. He was preparing to fight a war he couldn’t win. Against an opponent no mortal creature could stand against. My nightmare suddenly made sense. I was seeing what would happen if we charged blindly. Cassius watched me carefully. “Scarlett. You need to breathe.” “I can’t,” I whispered. “Cardan is marching into something impossible. He doesn’t even know the enemy. None of them do.” Harley touched my arm gently. “Scarlett, listen , we don't know if it’s truly Aethyros. It might be a remnant. A cult. A sliver of magic—”

THE FINAL BATTLE The enemy's leader, a towering figure with eyes that glowed like embers, raised his hand and summoned a wave of dark energy. Maya and Arin dodged to the side, avoiding the attack by mere inches. Aria, the guardian of the earth, stepped forward and summoned a wall of flame to block the enemy's attack. The flames roared and crackled, illuminating the dark fortress and casting flickering shadows on the walls. Maya and Arin took advantage of the distraction to launch a counterattack. Maya summoned a storm of ice and snow, while Arin unleashed a barrage of arrows imbued with the power of the earth.

The ruins weren’t empty anymore. And the true enemy was finally stepping into the light. To be continued…

“This woman has been plotting treason against the kingdom.” Loud gasps filled the area. “She has been seen moving through restricted areas, making contact with criminals and conspiring against the crown. She was last seen at the Sovereign Howl Colony." "That is not true." My voice steadied. "I have never…” he called. "Landon." His beta stepped forward, holding a photograph and he thrust it toward the crowd so they could all see. It showed a woman walking through the gates of some colony. The image was clean, convincing, and completely fabricated.

Caius asked. "Yes." "Alright. You're dismissed, Xander," Kael said. Xander prostrated before leaving the council room. "The stranger you all want out of Valthera is a human." Kael stated. "She's a human?" Malakai exclaimed. For several seconds, no one moved. "Yes, Malakai", Kael responded. "She cannot stay, Alpha. You and I, as well as everyone here, are aware of the grudge between Aelra, Maelva, and the humans. We can't afford to harbor a human within us," Soren spoke, his face contorted in anger.

And in the center of it stood Selene. Not as a woman. Not as a soul. But as an entire living universe. Kael stared in disbelief. She's alive. Lyra smiled through her tears. She saved everyone. But before anyone could celebrate... Aiden suddenly looked toward the new universe. His expression became terrified. Mother... Lyra turned. What is it? Aiden pointed at Selene's new universe. There's someone inside. Who? Aiden whispered: The real enemy. And from the heart of the newborn universe... a pair of ancient eyes slowly opened. End of Chapter 118
