Hale looked at Harvey with a serious look, as if he was arranging words in his mind. After a long time, he said, "Mr. Harvey, the Chapter of Ascension is like a dream to me. If I hold it right now, not only will I not be able to make myself invincible, but it will most likely kill me.

Three short, sharp raps. I opened the door to find Instructor Varran. Again. His voice, as always, was a blade dulled only slightly by years of use. “You’ve been summoned to the field.” “For what?” I rasped. His pale eyes raked over me, unimpressed. “Your first Trial. Ascendants are tested in public. You’ll be evaluated by the Court.” A cold rock settled in my stomach. “Already?” He didn’t answer. Instead, he turned and walked—clearly expecting me to follow.

As the sun descends, I start getting ready to meet Chris at the forest line. While looking at my reflection I'm determined to fight for what is mine, what the moon goddess gifted me, I refuse to hand my mate over on a silver platter. I close my eyes and exhale, it's time to start my walk. So many thoughts run through my mind as I walk, I look up to see he's already there waiting for me. He smiles " Is she ready to meet me?"

I had rejected him, but my heart was already breaking. The following days, I stayed home, ignoring school. Kian would be searching for me; Deandra and Bessa confirmed it. They told me he looked disheveled, desperate. I didn’t want to know more—I couldn’t risk breaking my resolve. If I gave in, I’d have run to him and begged. I needed to see the plan through.

After a second or so I thought, her gasp could be heard. What is it? "It's an invitation for the Crystal Moon Event.Zion, it's important as well!" Sage exclaimed. Crystal Moon Event.The ridiculous event where I battled death and none of my family questioned for once what had happened.They were after all busy catering Zion, as always. "This time there's a strict rule to only show up with partners.No extras allowed.We have four passes but all torn into two which makes it eight" Sage's voice rings in. How funny of her.I roll my eyes before walking away.Used my brain for nothing.

Hendrix POV A few critical moments stay vividly in one's memory. Important times when the boundary between the past and future feels thin and shimmering when time seems to pause and then quickly shift direction. That important moment became clear to me at the Ceremony of the Ascension. Our most holy and mysterious holiday was full of rituals and signs that had nothing to do with the real world. Even my sharp senses were thrown off. Both old and new members sat with the Nightwalkers and our friends from Drystan's group to watch me go through the magical rituals. To become the strong leader, I was meant to be and move up from being an Alpha son.

Maybe he'd already realized I would be a wasted investment. My stomach clenched and for a moment I was afraid I was going to be sick. "470! Do I hear 480?" The man was wildly pacing the stage, always crossing behind the succubus so as not to block her from anyone's view for even a second. I chewed my bottom lip. The final bid having come from some man in the back who reminded me a lot of a stuffed penguin. "Going once for four-hundred-seventy-million dollars. Going twice..."

Basically, the occasion was only for the high and mighty, people who mattered and the others were there to meet their needs. Marco sat down next to his father on his usual seat and Evelyn sat beside him. She couldn't hide the smile on her face. The time had finally come. Everything she had worked for was now falling into place. She would soon be Luna of the Nike pack, as she should be. Alpha kelvin stood up and looked around, a forced smile on his face. His eyes were sunken and didn't have as much life in them as they used to. His condition was getting worse and soon, he would not be able to hide the fact that he was growing weaker by the day and that he didn't have much time left.

With practiced precision, she painted intricate symbols across his forehead—ancient marks of recognition, spirals and crescents that bound him to the old ways. "I commend you, Deimon Ashworth, as Ashworth the Fifth and Tenth of your line. You have been ascended. The spirits accept you, Alpha Ashworth." The words emerged formal and final, carrying the weight of inevitability rather than blessing. "Took them long enough." Deimon rose to his feet, performing a shallow bow that bordered on insult. "Peace be with you, High Priestess." "Your ascension ceremony is due tomorrow at moonrise," Selene called after him. "Make proper preparations.
