The room quickly quietened down as Lucius's voice echoed throughout the hall. He stood in their midst and admonished them."Now is the worst time for infighting", Lucius said sternly.Lucius's stern voice resonated through the Royal Chamber, and all eyes were fixated on him as he talked. "Now is the worst time for infighting," Lucius began, his gaze sweeping across the assembly of nobles and Alphas. "We stand on the precipice of a great conflict, a battle that will define the future of our realm. It is not a time for division or discord. It is a time for unity and strength.We have come a long way and so many people have sacrificed their life, so many people have placed their trust on the hope that in this moment we will set aside our differences and fight as one. Our predecessors all died with the hope that we will get this right. They all gladly lay down their lives because they believed, the saw from afar the possibility of what can be.

As the two traitors, Alpha Nyx and Lord Randall, were led away from the council chamber, the atmosphere grew even heavier. Lucius, who had played a crucial role in uncovering their treachery, was tasked with overseeing their execution.The courtyard outside the palace was chosen as the site for their punishment. Alpha Nyx and Lord Randall were brought before a crowd of onlookers, including members of the council, nobles, and commoners. They were placed on their knees, their hands bound, and their heads lowered.As Lucius stepped forward to carry out the sentence, Alpha Nyx and Lord Randall, realizing the gravity of their situation, began to plead for mercy. Their voices quivered with fear and desperation as they begged for a chance to explain themselves."Please," Alpha Nyx implored, his eyes filled with remorse, "I know what I did was wrong, but I did it out of a misguided belief that I was protecting our kind.

Lucius wasted no time. "To the castle, now!" he ordered, his voice ringing with authority.Without hesitation, the council members, including Alpha Daemon, Duke Derrick, and Argabus, rushed to their feet. They followed Lucius, who led the way, his mind racing with thoughts of Rey, Luna, and Orion guarding the Royal quarters.As they ran through the corridors of the palace, the sounds of battle grew louder, and the acrid scent of magic and combat filled the air. They were met with scenes of chao

The Royal council quickly approved Lucius's plan to begin an assault against the Lycans and their forces. The news of an inevitable had spread through the realm and the fear and anxiety could be felt by all. Lucius spent the night alone and meditated, he understood the reality of the situation and he understood that he was responsible for everything that was to happen from here on out. He didn't get any sleep and by morning he was fully dressed in his battle armor.Rey was the first to come to him. "Are you ready?", Rey asked nervously."I am...", Lucius said as he kissed Rey passionately. "We have come a long way and you are jo longer that rejected omega I found in Silverwood years ago""Promise me that you will come back to me Alive", Rey said. "I need you alive and well...A life without you is not worth living""I will be back for you Rey...", Lucius said as he looked into Rey's eyes."I will hold you to that promise", Rey said.As the two stared into each other's eyes they were

Hyperion quietly made his way through the dark tunnel, the cobwebs sent chills down Rey's spine."I don't like this place", Rey said."It wasn't always like this", Hyperion said. "What do you mean?", Rey asked."The land of iron used to be a lively place and it had a great city thriving.It used to be the home of mages", Seraphina said. "My mother was from that city, the city of Andor"'So what happened then? How did it become this hellish place that sucks all life that ventures into it", Rey asked, her interest rising."Lycaon... he revived the darkness", Deucalion said.Rey paused for a while. There is something that doesn't quite make sense. And it has been a recurring theme in all of this."What is that?", Seraphina asked."You say that Lycaon reviver the dark magic, So it was already here.
