Once Betrayed Never Forgotten

Chapter 121: The Alpha’s Path–2

Luka sighs, burying his head in his hands for just a moment, before he nods resolutely. “Fine. I’ll do it. I’ll do whatever it takes.”

Bloodbane’s gue is stem as he regards Luka. “If the woll pack exiled you, they won’t welcome you back with open arms. You’ll need to be prepared for a fight

Laka’s expression hardens, his eyes flashing with determination. “I’m ready. I’ve faced worse. I’ll

them see that I’m the rightful Alpha.

“And when eetly were you planning on doing all this? Anya asks bitterly. “Konstantin, the armies of the so realms should be convening within the next few hours, am I corect?”

“Yes, in seven hours‘ time we will meet on the Tortured Plains,” he replies, his expression grave and stony. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Seven hours? That should be enough. Time can be so disorientating here in the night realm, with its eternal darkness, so I half expected us to have no time at Seven hours isn’t much, but it’ll have to do,

Seraphina has been sitting in dence the entire time, watching events unfold. At last, she speaks, her sweetly angelic voice a strange contrast to the gravity of her words

“So, a battle before the battle,” she says with a

a sigh. “Just what we neril.”

The room falls into a contemplative silence, each of us absorbing the gravity of the situation. The dream has gosen a path forward, but it’s a path fraught with danger and uncertainty. Yet, there’s a sense of resolve among us, a determination to do whatever it takes to save Verde and resture balance to the realm…

As the first moonbeams of the rising full moon break through the stained glass windows, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the room, I feel a surge of hope. We have a plan, and we have each other. Together, we can face whatever challenges lie ahead.

The preparations for our journey to the wolf pack begin immediately. The castle buzzes with activity as messages are sent and supplies are gathered. The air is thick with anticipation and a sense of urgency.

I find myself standing on one of the balconies, looking out over the vast expanse of the Night Realm. The dark forest stretches out below, the village lights twinkling like distant stars. It’s a beautiful, haunting sight, a reminder of the worlds we’re fighting to protect. Even those cruel lost souls trapped in the village, frozen in time, the wicked people who bumed me alive at the stake even they don’t deserve the terrible fate I saw in my dream.

Aleksandr joins me, his presence a comforting strength at my side. “We’ll make it through this, my love,” he says softly, his hand finding mine. “Together.”

1 squeeze his hand, drawing strength from his unwavering support. “Yes, together.”

He reaches out and toys gently with the streak of red through my golden hair, smiling sadly, the weight of the situation pressing down on us,

As we stand there, the moon slowly rises, bathing the world in a soft, silvery light.

The journey ahead will be difficult, but we have each other. And with that, I know we can evercome anything

As the bright silvery moonlight continues to creep over the horizon, casting long shadows across the land, 1 take a deep breath and turn back to the castle. There’s still much to do, and the face of the realms depends on our success.

We gather in the grand hall, the flickering candlelight casting an ethereal glone over the room. The suits of armor stand sentinel, their presence a silent reminder of the battles fought and the ones yet to come. The air is thick with anticipation, the weight of our mission pressing down on us.

Aleksandr addresses the group, his voice steady and authoritative. “We leave via portal within the quarter hour. Luka, once we arrive in the Earth real, you will lead the way to your pack, We’ll support you in whatever way we can

Luka neds, his bright silver eyes shining with determination. “I won’t let you down.”

Minces steps forward, her hand resting on her swollen belly. “We’ll be with you every step of the way,” she says, her voice filled with love and resolve. “She and 1,

both.”

Luka takes Mircea’s hands in his, and leans forward, kissing her forehead, his eyes welling with tears,

I’m still not used to seeing them like this – not used to the idea of them being together – but somehow, it just feels right.

The others nod in agreement, their expressions a mix of determination and resolve.

And with that, Aleksandr opens up a portal into the Earth realm, and we set off to find Lukas wolf pack and reclaim his rightful title
