Snow BlindnessSoleyah had heard of it. In fact, due to curiosity, she read about it. Never in her wildest dream that she would suffer from it. After all, werewolves were known for their great physical tenacity in the wild. Plus, she was an alpha bloodline.But jokes on her! She got snow blind after being exposed to the harsh blizzard right after being separated from everyone. According to the web from the human continent that Soleyah had used, snow blindness is a form of photokeratitis that is caused by UV rays reflected off ice and snow. Eye damage from UV rays is particularly common in the North and South Pole areas or in high mountains where the air is thinner and provides less protection from UV rays.In layman’s terms, Soleyah was now seeing awfully large halos around the sun. The pain could still be tolerated even when it obviously grew as hours passed by. The pain started from the normal tearing sensation of her eye muscles until it turned into a blood-curdling sensation that
Surrounded by scorpions ten times their supposed original size, a huge red-furred wolf stopped killing in an instant. The murderous intent that shrouded the group of crimson-furred wolves suddenly vanished. In the vast sea of sand, a bloody battle continued for hours already. Piles of scorpion carcasses and wolf corpses littered the surrounding of the makeshift arena between the two species. From time to time, a gust of hot breeze would bring a bloody stench. Under the scorching sun, even when the fight started a few hours ago, the corpses started to get affected by the direct great heat. The foul smell started to emit from the rapidly drying carcasses as desert pests started to appear in small numbers over time. ‘Alpha! Watch out!’ Rios Scarlet, who was now in the form of a spotted black beta-size wolf, dashed behind the towering yet frozen red wolf. His huge body collided with the leader of the giant scorpions. A spotted white wolf, whose spots closely resembled Rios Scarlet’s w
Talia’s feet touched the surface of the sea.Standing atop the vast calm sea, her calm gaze pinned on the floating person who was at least twenty meters away from her.“I thought you’re dead.” Talia did not hide the disappointment in her voice.“I will not die before you, Talia,” said Merlin. “I still want to enjoy the sight of your face contorted in fear and regret before you die in my hands.”Rolling her eyes, Talia scoffed. “Merlin, whatever you and the Werewolf Committee did to me. I will pay it back tenfold today. This time, in this fight, only one will remain to exist.”Talia knew in her heart that only one could leave in this place. The formations of the magical circle were long tested by her, confirming her doubts when she tried to find a loophole in the spell that separated this place from the real world.Without a doubt, the Werwolf Committee was determined to win this war. Talia recognized this kind of restriction spell and she knew this was one of the hidden cards of the e
As soon as they entered the foggy periphery of the west woods, the six alphas of the Night Prowlers Pack and the wolves within ten meters of their radius had disappeared.From the sea of white to the canyon of red gigantic rock formations, the group that was separated from Talia and the others appeared out of thin air.The snowflakes around their furry bodies melted after almost an hour of running nonstop to find the exit of the canyon—only to end up repeating the same cycle over and over again.It was in their eighteenth cycle that Alpha Adrian finally decided to stop along with the other five alphas. Shifting back to their human forms, an array of shirtless men replaced the towering wolves.An ash-blonde man with eight-pack abs strode to Alpha Adrian. In his hand was the mark he had left on a certain rock. “This place is enchanted. I am this close to fucking razing my way out of here! Every second we are here is another danger for our mate.”“Calm down, Cam,” an ash-haired alpha tap
Sweat trickled down Diana’s cracked lips. Instinctively, she licked the meager drop of liquid to quench the clawing thirst. Her thick jacket had long been discarded along with all the extra cotton cloth that was attached to her. What was left around her body was enough to wrap her up from the blazing sun until her eyes were the only visible part of her body.Diana’s artistry for clothing design was put to the test when she did her best to minimize the possibility of heatstroke. She wondered how many hours she was here in this desert, but she was pretty sure that the sun was supposed to be showing a sign that it was about to set—yet not a bit of change happened!Diana badly wanted to use a spell to summon water like Tuviga, but she did not want to waste her power anymore! She needed to leave here!The moment she felt that inexplainable pain that seeped to resonate even to her wolf, Diana used her magic energy to find the eye of the spell’s formation rather than exhaust herself by splur
“Lhahat-um!” Diana’s raspy voice broke the silence of the tiny oasis. Though her parched throat only released a voice that was no different from an adult’s whisper, it still held a lot of weight when Diana especially poured thirty percent of her remaining magic energy in. Lhahat-um. This was a spell that Diana often heard from her witch friend a lifetime ago. It was said that the spell was created to destroy only one thing—a spell’s formation. Without the eye of a spell’s formation or spell’s array, the spell would not immediately be broken but it would give a loophole, easing all the restrictions placed in the spell. In short, it was a spell specifically created to destroy another spell. The fluctuation around Diana increased. Ripples appeared on the pond as the pebbles in it started to tremble. Hot waves circled the small oasis, swaying the ankle-length grass around the small oasis. Sixty seconds… One hundred and twenty seconds… Three hundred seconds… As the sands of time con
As soon as the gigantic scorpions appeared, Diana increased the energy output of the Scepter of Fate.She had come this far. There was no way in hell that she would let Shananel take this round!Determination burned in Diana’s eyes as she took a step forward. The tip of the Scepter of Fate was merely three inches away from the pebbles in the small pond.As cracks littered on the surface of the pebble, the entire desert started to tremble as if an earthquake ensued. This was a sign for Diana to keep moving forward… to keep attacking the eye of the array.Not minding the incoming pincers that hovered over her, Diana raced against time. Slowly, shadows loomed over her as the heavy stench of the scorpion’s mouth blew over Diana.Screech!Diana chose to finish it quickly rather than disrupting the flow right now or it would only backfire and she would have to start from scratch. She did not have the reserve for that. And definitely, she did not have the luxury of time to restart. Diana had
It took Diana a good five-minute sprint before she reached the area. As she became closer and closer to her target place where Soleyah and the others were, the snowy ground she traveled past was littered with broken trees and bushes.What stood out for her were the remnant footprints on the snowy ground!There were wolf prints and a massive unidentified print that brought Diana’s heart into a frenzy.‘This is not good.’Diana’s wolf howled, begging to be let go. It was agitated by something Diana did not know.Clearly, the closer she was to the location, the greater the damage the area was.Next, there were scattered remnants of blood. Sniffing the air, Diana immediately recognized the bright red blood. A frown cracked her grim face when she smelled the dark-colored blood.‘Shananel, what have you done? You really dared to mess with the natural order of the world? Are you not afraid of the gods and the goddesses who created us? Damn, what were you thinking?’Diana screamed her questio
