Alex Sam and I packed up our bags the next day. As much as we wanted to take the twins with us, we knew it would be dangerous. We weren't going there for holiday. We were only going there to contain a problem. I hoped this was the right move. After everything that Sam had told me, I hoped this was the right move. I wondered who this corrupt moon goddess was. Even though, Sam insisted she was a counterfeit, I wasn't quick to dismiss the idea that she might be the real deal or a different side of the moon goddess we know. The fact that remains is that none of us had ever met the goddess we prayed to. The one we called mother. We had only read accounts written by other people who might have also been told and only recorded what they were told by others. What if that was the moon goddess, and that was who she was. There were myths of her spreading madness during a full moon. Sam had said she was mad, and she did refer to herself as Luna. Dismissing the fact that she might be the real deal

Ellis The gazebo was nicely decorated with food and drinks, and cushions. There was a big were carpet on the floor of the gazebo. The cushions were placed on the carpet so we could sit closely together. There was also the same arrangement on the carpet grass outside the gazebo for us to sit during the solar eclipse. William had them install a television at the gazebo. I knew it was for my benefit. If anything was going to go wrong, it would be on the news. It was thirty minutes to the Eclipse. Everyone was with us, and we waited. To my surprise, I saw a staff ushering Alex and Sam to the gazebo. Sam looked tired, and Alex looked happy. William and I got up to hug and greet them. The solar eclipse was showing signs already. " How did you get here so fast?" I asked Sam, and she yawned. " We left early, and Alex asked the driver to step on the gas." She explained to me. We all laughed at the eagerness to get to our estate. The deep sleep must have spooked Alex. It did the same to me e

Ellis I was surprised to see Dinah and Ephraim. Remembering what Ephraim had told me the last time we met, I knew there was a possibility that Someone was messing with my mind, and they weren't there. It could even be Apophis and Luna in disguise waiting to get my guards down. But how did I get there, to begin with? Was I not trying to get to my bedroom? " Are you, you?" I asked, and Dinah began to laugh. " Probe me with your essence, child, and you will know," She replied, and I looked at Ephraim. They were both bound in golden chains, and I pointed at the chains. " Oh, this," She said, holding up her hands so I could see the binds on her wrists. " We are locked away," She replied. " Then how come you are here?" I asked, and Dinah pointed at me. " You essence called on us for help. The fates did not have any choice but to let us come to your aid," she said and giggled. " And besides, The scales are not balanced. It is two full gods against one demi-God. It is an unfair match."

Ellis I woke up feeling refreshed. I looked out the window, and the sun was in the sky. I was glad deep down to see it. William exited the bathroom in his shorts. He looked relaxed and happy. "Someone is in high spirits this morning," I said, and he smiled at me and came to kiss me. I was naked. He kissed me and kissed my bump. " You felt different last night," He said to me, and I frowned, " How?" I asked. " I felt current enter and leave me," He said, and I knew what he was talking about. I pulled him to me, and he used that opportunity to tickle me. I laughed so hard, and he crashed his lips on mine. I kissed him back passionately, and he broke the kiss and rested his forehead on mine. " Thanks, Darling," He said, and I wondered what he was thanking me for, but I did not ask, so I do not make the moment awkward. William sat next to me on the bed and pulled me close. His hard muscles felt good to touch, and his scent was overwhelming., " Hope I didn't hurt you last night?"

William We arrived at the pack to find chaos. It was like in my dreams, only the sun was up. I began to fear that I was dreaming. What happened to me the last time had made me start questioning reality. " What is causing this?" Alex asked me and Ellis replied. " Luna and Apophis," She said. " How do you know," I asked her, " It is in their aura," Abel replied on her behalf. The sane pack members were trying to restrain the mad ones with Silver. The problem started right at the gate to the clearing in the field. I saw Patrick restraining a feral wolf. The fact that they were pack members broke my heart, and it made me feel like a useless Alpha. " There isn't much we can do for them, their minds have been taken over by Luna, the mare of the moon," Abel said, angrily. " What do you suggest?", I asked him, and he looked at me. " As bad as this as this may sound, we have to kill them," he said, and I shook my head vehemently. " No, there has to be something else," I argued and sh
