Lucius opened his eyes and he saw Rey and Cersei looking at him. "I remember it all", he said, the memories rushing back to him. "I saw it all, but I couldn't do anything to save them." Rey ran to him and hugged him. "It was not your fault", she whispered in his ear. "None of us could have saved them." Cersei nodded in agreement, tears in her eyes as she looked at Lucius. "Now you know", she said softly. "I'm so sorry that I had to make you relive such a painful experience." "I know that this isn't what you want to hear, but thank you. It would have been better if I had no memory of that day", Lucius replied. "That's the thing about memories, they stay with you forever. Some days they are just there waiting for you to embrace them, and some days they are there waiting for you to ignore them", Cersei said. "The reason I needed to keep you alive is because you can't ignore the pain and suffering that Deucalion caused, but you can overcome it and heal the wounds of the past." "My m

In a small town nestled deep within the dense forests, the Lycans led by Deucalion regrouped. The recent defeat at the capital had left them seething with anger and a thirst for vengeance. Hyperion was the last to arrive at Nivelm, Argon and Radon had already arrived and so had the surviving members of the Veiled serpents led by Jade. Hyperion was already suspicious of Deucalion but he was determined to play along for as long as it took till he understood what Deucalion truly after.Deucalion, his eyes ablaze with fury, addressed the gathered Lycans. "We may have suffered a setback, but we are far from defeated," he declared, his voice carrying a dark and sinister tone. "The Crimson Pack may have won this battle, but the war is far from over. We will show them the true power of the Lycans!"Jade stepped forward, her eyes flashing with a cunning intelligence. "Indeed, Deucalion," she said, her voice low and seductive. "But we must be strategic in our approach. The Crimson Pack has prove

After Asher stormed out of the meeting room, Luna followed him, trying to catch up with him. She couldn’t seem to find him and she trooped the vicinity to find him. She found him pacing in the courtyard, his anger palpable. She approached him cautiously, trying to find the right words to soothe his growing rage. "Ashe, please, you need to calm down," Luna implored gently, reaching out to touch his arm. "We can't let this division tear our pack apart. Trust in Lucius' judgment; he wants what's best for all of us." But Asher's frustration seemed unyielding. "I can't trust blindly, Luna," he spat, his eyes filled with mistrust. "This Nyx person just appeared out of nowhere, and now we're relying on them without knowing who they really are!" Luna sighed, understanding his concerns. "I know it's difficult, but we have to believe in our pack's strength. Lucius is handling this situation with caution, and Cersei is keeping a close watch on Nyx." Back in the meeting room, the remaining pac

Rey was unsettled and she wasn’t going to allow the recent events slow her down but she knew that she could not allow the pack the pack get crushed under the weight of distrust. She paced up and down her room and as she remained lost in thought, she almost didn’t notice the knock on her door.“Rey!”, Lucius called out gently.“I’m coming ….”, Rey replied as she went quickly to the door and opened it allowing Lucius walk Into the room. “What’s wrong?”“I can’t sleep, all that has happened has been hard to swallow", Lucius said as he explained himself to Rey.“We need to do something about this, if Asher was taken over then it means that we are all in danger. We don’t know when next such a thing can happen”, Rey replied.“What do we do next?”, Lucius asked.“I’m not sure, but I have an idea", Rey replied. “What’s that?”, Lucius asked as his eyes lit up. Rey knew that he would do anything at this point to regain control and stability of his pack.“We ride to Silverwood as soon as possib

As Rey and Lucius continued their intensive training under Seraphina's guidance in Silverwood, the Capital was eerily quiet, a lot of the residents had fled due to the conflict and those who remained were awfully vigilant and Sober. Food and basic supplies were awfully cheap and accessible yet the markets were still empty.Alpha Magnus, still recovering from the injuries inflicted by the Lycans during the recent skirmish, found himself struggling to heal completely.Aurora who was a healer and lent about the 7 key healing formula, visited Magnus regularly to tend to his wounds. Concern etched on her face as she noticed the lack of progress in his recovery."Why aren't you healing as quickly as you should, Magnus?" Aurora asked with a furrowed brow."I'm not sure," Magnus replied, wincing slightly as she tended to his injuries. "It's as if these wounds are different from any I've encountered before. They feel... cursed.""Cursed? How is that possible?" Aurora questioned, her curiosity
