When Their Sacrificial Lamb Is Gone Novels & Stories

Nothing like the usual vibrant Amelia that he loved and knew. “The proceedings will begin in the next hour,” said Blake and Amelia turned away from him to wipe away a new tear. She turned back to face him, trying to be as brave as possible. “What all happens during the proceedings?” asked Amelia, then bit her lip before she said, “and what do I need to do?” “A wolf is never buried. He is offered as a sacrifice to Mother Moon,” said Blake as he tried to make it sound as humane as possible. “What do you mean by ‘offered as a sacrifice’?” Amelia didn’t understand what was going on and was starting to get antsy.

"Open your heart and let the love within guide you." Luna extended her trembling hand, its warmth contrasting with the cool surface of the altar. As her fingertips made contact, a surge of energy coursed through her, intertwining with her love for Jaxon. The chamber filled with a radiant light, casting away the encroaching darkness. Luna's body shimmered, ethereal wisps dancing around her, as her sacrifice took form. With each passing moment, Luna felt a profound sense of loss, an ache in her soul. She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, as she whispered a silent farewell to the part of her she was about to release.

POV: DANTE During the sacrifice to our God, scriptures appeared carved into the bodies of the sacrificed wolves with the words: “Use her for our plans!” I frowned, questioning. I glanced at the remaining Alphas, who looked back at me, equally perplexed. “Who is the deity referring to?” Jaxon asked, confused. “I don’t know, but I believe we’ll find out soon,” I growled, putting him in his place and pushing him away from the center of the circle. “Unless you want to become part of the sacrifice, I suggest you step back.”

It was time for the sacrifice. My gaze flickered to the ancient text, lying open on a nearby pedestal. The description of the sacrifice remained chillingly vague: “A willing severance, a lifeblood willingly given, to break the unbreakable bond.” A cold dread washed over me. What did it mean? Whose lifeblood? Whose willing severance? Suddenly, Jaxon stepped forward, his dark eyes locked on mine, a fierce love and an unyielding resolve shining within them. In his hand, he held a ceremonial dagger, its blade gleaming silver in the flickering light.

"Don't you understand? If she completes this ritual, if she reconnects to the Well, everyone dies! Your father, Ethan, James, and Steven will die anyway! And so will everyone else! The entire world!" "I can't!" Tears dropped down my face. "I can't choose! I can't kill them!" "You have to!" Beatrice shook me. "This is the sacrifice, Jessie! This is what your mother knew you would have to face! Choosing between the people you love and the world! That's the price of being the Twice-Born!" Stephanie's laughter rang out. "Oh, this is delicious! Fight amongst yourselves! Debate philosophy while I WIN!" She poured the mixed blood onto the symbols at the center of the circle. The moment it touched,

“The time for hiding is over. The royal line must embrace what it is. The Goddess does not bless without purpose. But the road ahead will demand sacrifice.” The word sacrifice hung heavy in the air. Aria felt it sink into her bones, cold and merciless. “Whose sacrifice?” she whispered. Selene’s gaze softened, but she did not answer. Instead, she turned her eyes toward the moonlight spilling through the window. “When the crimson moon rises again, truth will demand its price.” The flames in the torches flickered violently. A sudden gust swept through the chamber, carrying with it the faint echo of a wolf’s howl low, mournful, and hauntingly familiar.

“They tried. But each soul he consumed became a prison, a chain binding divine power. If they destroy him, those souls will be lost forever, condemned to eternal damnation. The prophecy was clear: Only sacrifice can end him.” Frustration surged through me, hot and helpless. “Sacrifice from who? How?!” I turned to the book, hands trembling, and etched the desperate question onto the page. The answer appeared slowly, painfully simple: Love And Sacrifice. I stared at the words, willing them to mean something else, but they didn’t. “I’m truly sorry you’ve had to carry the burden of something you never chose,” Zevarion said gently. “Even after being reborn, you returned tethered to the cursed wol

Her glowing eyes flickered, her knees buckled, and she collapsed heavily onto the cold stone. Even as darkness claimed her, her hand stretched out toward me through the crack, waiting for a mother who could not stay. I read her pale lips forming the word please one last time before she slipped away. And then the iron doors slammed shut. We were walking two completely different paths now, forever severed by the cruelty of the world. Something inside me slowly died that day, leaving behind a cold, hollow shell. I walked into the dark knowing the absolute, heartbreaking truth, I would always be the sacrificial lamb, never worthy of love, never allowed a family, and cursed for all eternity.

“The gate is hungry. It has been dormant for too long. It doesn't want the fuel of children anymore. It wants the Warden. It wants the Key. Step into the dark, and see if you have the strength to be the sacrifice you were born to be.” The voice died away, leaving the lab in a silence that was far louder than the screaming had been. Jovan looked at Thiago. “He’s waiting for us. He wants us to come down there.” “He wants to finish the ritual,” Thiago said. He reached out and gripped Jovan’s shoulder, his fingers digging in hard. “We’re walking into a slaughterhouse, J. I’m not going to lie to you anymore. We might not come back up these stairs.”

"For teaching me love. For showing me sacrifice. For making me worthy. I won't forget. Even as God. Even as everything. I won't forget you." Then it vanishes. Becoming existence itself. Everywhere and nowhere. Everything and nothing. My mates reappear. Unmade reversed. Existence restored. Everything fixed. Because Hope. Because God. Because sacrifice. But Hope is gone. Really gone. My granddaughter. My miracle. My loss. Luna collapses. Sobbing. Screaming. Broken. "She's gone. My baby is gone. Became God. Left me." I hold her. Both of us destroyed. Both of us saved. Both of us empty.
