*Lily's POV*I saw Audrey marching to Tyler after the burst of magic she just released. That was the only way I could define what she did now. Magic. Very dark magic.I ran to her and pushed her off the way, both of us landing beside one another."Bitch!" She gnarled at me and dragged me by the hair up, "I'll kill both of you now!"She wrapped her hand around my neck and long nails started growing out of hers, each digging into my neck as she carried me up slowly. I don't know where she got this strength from but it was frightening. Her eyes dripped with rage."Audrey!" Leo's voice sounded."I don't fucking care about your command! She'll die here, right now!" Audrey shouted back without looking at him.Tyler wanted to stand up again but one swoosh of her hand and he was blown back again. I could hear Theo darting towards us but Audrey blew the ball of energy to his gut again. I had not even seen Sonia in a while.My airflow was slowly getting cut off as I garbled in her grasp.She sm

It was a solemn gathering. Tyler stood before the elders whilst I sat beside my father. He looked nervous to start but when he glanced at me and I nodded at him, he smiled briefly then cleared his throat.His words were heavy with disappointment and a sense of betrayal as he recounted the events that had unfolded while we were trying to rescue Aunt Belinda, exposing Audrey's treachery and her attempt to undermine our pack by her alliance with the enemy's leader.I could hear when Tyler said, "Henry, your suspicions were right all along."Finally, Audrey's true intentions and the extent of her betrayal was being exposed though I wish she was here to see this. The room fell into a heavy silence and it brimmed with shock and anger. The elders exchanged worried glances, realizing the magnitude of the situation.Henry's expression hardened as he listened, his voice cutting through the tense silence. "Audrey's actions have shown a complete disregard for our pack and its values. She will fac

As the days stretched on, the weight of my mom's illness felt like an ever-present shadow hanging over me. I tried to stay strong and hopeful, but deep down, the fear of losing her ate my heart. Tyler, trying to be the supportive friend he wasn't, tried to comfort me, assuring me that my mom would pull through and be eager to talk to me once she recovered. But the weight of my emotions made it difficult for me to see beyond my own fears."I know it's hard, Lily," Tyler said gently, his eyes filled with empathy. "But your mom is a fighter. She's going to make it through this."I nodded, trying to take comfort in his words. "I hope so," I murmured, my voice filled with uncertainty. "I just can't help but worry."Tyler reached out and gently squeezed my hand which I withdrew to my chest. He saw this and took back his hand. "I understand, but you need to have faith in her strength and in the love she has for you," he said. "She's not going to give up, and neither should you."Despite his

"H..how did you…""I had known even before your birth, my child. I believe your aunt has already explained to you how our father didn't want the great duty to fall on any of his children's shoulders so he prayed to the moon goddess about it but she ended up passing it on to you. This is why I have always told you you are special child, Lily. You can't even imagine how great your destiny is." For the first time, my father spoke to me in a way I had never heard before, with so much pride and trepidation.He didn't know I was the chosen one yet but he was.well aware that I am a Guardian, which is still sick. I felt my heart flutter.It was a thing of pride knowing you were born and chosen as one of the guardians. But it also was an immense responsibility, one that I wasn't still sure I was ready for. But deep down, I knew that I couldn't turn my back on this duty. The fate of our pack and the supernatural world rested in our hands."Lily, there's more." My dad's voice cut my thoughts off

Audrey threw her hand away from Leo's grasp making him sharply turn to face her with a grimace on his face, "I knew you had a temper but not this foul. What were you thinking? Why would you want to kill him now?""Why shouldn't I?!" Her eyes blared, "You should've let me end his pathetic life once and for all. The sight of his face makes me think things that I don't want to…""Is he the reason why you came to join my side? He is the one?" He said almost looking pathetically at her. Audrey felt it and spat back at him, "No! He isn't the reason why I came over here, but he has caused me a lot of hurt and I want to make him also feel more of that hurt. I want to watch him suffer and beg when I take his life away from him."He stared at her, amused, "Really? He has hurt you a lot…"After Leo stated the obvious, Audrey rolled her eyes and threw her hands beside her.Leo continued to watch her, "But how could you have killed him when you couldn't even think when he stood in front of you?"
