That night, for the first time in many years, a blood moon appeared in the sky. A red hue falls over the lands as if a scarlet blanket has covered all. The snow reflects the red shade, twinkling like rubies.Leo is staring at the sky, feeling apprehensive. He is not sure what is going to happen but the appearance of the full moon all of a sudden is making him anxious. Is Dmitri going to turn? What will happen if he does?“Leo…”Aria’s sleepy voice comes from behind him. She just entered the chamber she now shares with Leo, feeling very tired. Upon seeing his worried expression, she also starts to dread.“Are you thinking of the impending war tomorrow?” she asks, misinterpreting his worries.

A loud siren rings through the streets of Sloria, waking up the citizens who remained. The siren rings in three short intervals before ringing continuously for a minute, signaling the impending invasion.Roseanne also hears the siren and wakes up in shock. She is completely naked and wrapped in a blanket. Hugging it tight, she looks around.Her room is a total mess. The furniture is overturned and the bedsheet is in disarray. Her lower body is throbbing a little but thankfully, it does not hurt much. Gaia must have healed her before disappearing back into her mind.They really went at it last night, Roseanne winces. She feels a little shy as she remembers the way Gaia and her mate Stiva made wild love. They were starving for centuries, no, for thousands of years perhaps. 

The soldiers of Sloria line up in front of the castle. Every one of them is wearing white armor which are the same color as the snow while their armbands have Dmtri’s emblem on them. The emblem is a silver wolf standing on hind legs holding a pair of blue roses. Each soldier is holding a weapon and a strong armor made of iron and steel. They are all on their feet, standing in neat lines. Leo is at the front followed by Timur, Polina and then Aryan who are at the front of each of their squads. Men and women are mixed with the fighters, a major portion of them being volunteers mingled with the soldiers.  Dmitri is on the ground with Leo, looking at all his men. They have gathered over eight hundred men but knowing the nexus between Eduard and the Undead, the army is not enough. “The Undead will destroy us all in a battle,” Leo mutters. He is not so sure how long the people will be able to hold up against the Undead army who will undoubtedly try to turn the

Taurus is about to shift but Leo does not let him. He attacks Taurus head on, ripping out his ear in the process. “AHHHHHH!” Taurus yells as the pain pierces through him. The large red wolf grabs him by the hair and slams him against the ground, repeatedly hitting him with its strong paw. Taurus growls and attacks the wolf with his sword but the animal bites his arm and within a split of a second, tears it off. “YOU SON OF A B*TCH!” Taurus screams in agony. Blood spurts out of his body and he falls to the ground, crawling but Leo is not done. Taurus tries to transform but his body has lost so much blood that his wolf also became too weak to shift. He crawls towards the sword which has fallen nearby but Leo grabs his other arm and rips it apart as well. Many of the So

“OUT OF MY WAY!” Iriana yells at the soldiers who are crowding near the camp. They have set up a large medical camp outside the city walls where many of the injured soldiers have been brought in. Several more are going to arrive in a while and Iriana is hard at work along with the palace ladies and omegas who have chosen to stay back to help.“Lady Iriana, this man is losing too much blood!” An omega exclaims. “Press on the wound and tell a fae soldier to help in controlling the blood flow!” Iriana instructs. “As for the spilt blood, give it to that vampire soldier to drink up!”The omega nods and goes on to carry on the instructions. Iriana is carrying a bucket full of hot water to sanitize the instruments which she will need to operate on the soldiers.
