Jack sends out a magnetic pulse that sweeps across the battlefield, throwing the vampires backward like leaves in a storm. The power inside me grows until I can barely contain it.

The shadows carry me through darkness, and I reappear beside him, stronger than before.

The realization stunned him. The energy he felt was familiar, undeniably his, but he couldn’t control it. That lack of command tightened something deep in his chest. It wasn’t just a flicker—it was moving freely through her. But the men didn’t hesitate. Their mission was to blast Adrian and break any link between him and whatever power he wielded.

My powers were building up to a crescendo, and I could feel myself losing control. Suddenly, a massive explosion of energy burst forth from my body, sending shockwaves through the air.

You just have a way of making me take the blame for every single thing you do wrong.” “There you are,” The voice growled out. “The Crescent-Moon Alpha.” “Let me go!” Leia let out a shrill cry when men suddenly slid out of the shadows, chest heaving as they surrounded us. They grabbed her wrists, holding her hands tight. Just as she fought to break out of his hold, shivering in his grasp, another male wearing a look of disgust, darted out of the woods. “What is this?!” Kieran rasped, shifting over to a side when the men grabbed him from behind.

The two energies clashed, creating a blast of light and sound that shook the very foundations of the fortress. I stumbled back, gasping for breath. But I refused to give up.

The ancient evil retaliated, unleashing a wave of darkness that threatened to consume me. But I was ready. I summoned all my strength and energy and unleashed a final blast of power.

Luna, with a mental command, sent the signal to Alpha Burst, marking the decisive moment for their coordinated assault. "Now!" Luna's voice echoed through the mental link, and Alpha Burst's group surged forward. The sealed gateway, responding to Luna's power, began to shift and crack, ancient energies unraveling its once impenetrable seal. The sinister group, caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events, scrambled to respond. Luna's group pressed the assault with renewed vigor, exploiting the chaos to breach the inner defenses. The clash of steel, the roars of creatures, and the flickering light created a tableau of conflict and liberation.

The chains that held me seemed to shake in response to the power. I knelt there, my heart beating fast with fear and excitement. In that moment, I realized the true extent of my own abilities and the hidden strength I had within me. I had never felt more srronger. I loved it!
