Chapter 127
The air felt heavy with anticipation as the BlueMoon pack and Shadow Clan armies stood facing each other. Their eyes locked in a fierce confrontation. The clearing, once a peaceful neutral space, had now transformed into a battleground.
Tyler stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Leo, “This ends here, Leo. We won’t let you harm our pack any longer,” Tyler declared with a resolute tone.
Leo smirked, his fangs glinting in the moonlight. “Oh, dear Alpha boy king, you’re so naive to think you can stop us. This is just the beginning of our dominance,” he replied with a sinister chuckle.
“Chargeeee!” Tyler’s voice echoed through the crowd.
“Make me some blood!” Leo shouted out and burst into incredulous laughter.
As the armies clashed, the forest became a battleground. The air filled with fierce sounds of bodies colliding, claws slashing, and fangs biting. Both sides were driven and determined, expressing it through battle cries and roars.
Tyler led his pack with courage, giving his all in the fight. On the opposite side, Leo led his vampire army with precision. He used his dark magic to confuse and disorient the werewolves, making them lose their balance in battle at several moments.
The battle was intense, and many werewolves and vampires were already getting hurt. But neither side gave up. They fought fiercely as minutes went by.
In the midst of the chaos, Tyler and Leo found themselves face to face once more. “You’re fighting for a cause that will lead to destruction, Leo. Can’t you see that?” Tyler shouted above the noise of battle.
Leo’s eyes blazed with a sick determination. “I fight for power and dominance, and nothing will stand in my way!” he retorted.
Tyler let out a loud, fierce howl and charged at Leo. The ground shook beneath their feet. Their powers collided, and they fought with all their might to show who was stronger and more deserving to lead their groups, Leo doing the more talking.
“I will end your reign and your entire race!” He retorted.
“Before you do that, you’d have to hurt a hair on my finger first.” Tyler said in between breaths and gave a grime smirk annoying Leo.
“Bastard!”
The loud battle cry filled the forest as the armies rushed toward each other. Lily’s heart pounded as she transformed again into a wolf, feeling her strength increase. Running with her fellow werewolves made her feel a strong bond with her pack. Adrian also turned into a wolf. He constantly glanced at Lily with concern so much so he got distracted and almost got bitten by a vampire.
Aunt Belinda’s healing abilities proved invaluable as she darted between the battling werewolves, quickly mending their wounds and giving them the strength to keep fighting. Omega Violetta used her telekinesis to protect the pack from incoming vampire attacks, creating an invisible barrier around them.
Sarah moved through the chaos of the battlefield with deadly precision, her daggers dancing in her hands. She expertly targeted the vampires, striking each of them with lethal accuracy. Her swift and agile movements allowed her to evade their attacks effortlessly. With each strike of her daggers, she struck fear into the hearts of the vampires, leaving them no chance to retaliate.
Jaxon’s transformation into his wolf form was a sight to behold. His fur stood up, and he growled fiercely, displaying his strength. With powerful muscles, he charged into the battle, using his fangs and claws to tow down the vampires as if they were broken barrels. His size and speed gave him an advantage to easily defeat any vampire who dared to fight him.
Theo moved like a shadow. His movements were quick and so precise as he wielded both knives and claws in the heat of battle. He fought with a deadly grace, never wasting a single movement as he swiftly dispatched the vampires that crossed his path. His keen sense of smell and hearing allowed him to anticipate their attacks, and his knives and claws found their marks with swift accuracy.
Henry’s wolf form was huge and imposing. It dominated the battlefield with fierce growls. He fought with a wild and furious strength and easily took down the vampires with his powerful jaws.

The fight continued fiercely. Swords continued to clash and magical energy were exploding around them. Sarah and Theo came face to face with Ethan again. They viewed him as their adversary. When their eyes met, an odd sensation passed between Sarah and Ethan, creating a strange connection that puzzled her.
They moved cautiously, sizing each other up. Sarah’s heart raced as she tried to concentrate on the battle, but her thoughts kept wandering to the unexplainable attraction she felt towards Ethan. Being human all her life, she sensed something awakening inside her now, something primal and potent.
Theo’s attention drew to his fellow warrior being attacked so he had to go save him, leaving Ethan and Sarah alone.
As they got closer to each other, Sarah felt a powerful energy growing stronger. They were a foot away from each other now. She felt a surge of strength inside her and her senses became sharper. It was like her whole being was responding to Ethan’s presence, and somehow, she suddenly realized he was her mate – her destined partner, her soulmate.
“No.” She mouthed.
“Yes.” Ethan responded.
It was impossible.
Feeling confused and conflicted, Sarah tried to attack him, but she couldn’t ignore her strange feelings and he deflected every attack. Ethan seemed to sense the change in her too so he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her back towards him, and there was a brief moment where something other than hostility showed on his face. He paused, and in that instant, Sarah knew he felt the same connection between them.
Theo, who had been fighting nearby, noticed the strange exchange between Sarah and Ethan and quickly intervened. He lunged at Ethan, catching him off guard and delivering a powerful blow that sent him reeling. Ethan staggered back, his eyes filled with surprise and pain, before turning and running away from the scene.
Theo rushed to Sarah’s side, “Are you okay?” he asked worriedly.
Sarah nodded, her mind still reeling from the revelation of her new powers and her connection to Ethan. “I don’t know what just happened,” she admitted.
Theo’s eyes shook. “What is it?”
“I don’t know how, but I can feel that …” Sarah was short of words. “It’s nothing. I’m fine.”
Theo’s expression softened, and he pulled Sarah into a comforting embrace. “You’re fine. You’re fine,” he repeated reassuringly. “Right now, we need to focus on the battle. We can’t afford to let our guard down.”
Sarah nodded, trying to push her conflicting emotions aside. She knew that now was not the time to dwell on any emotions. There was a war to be fought, and her pack needed her.
~~~~~
Pablo, the orchestrator of the war, finally joined the fight. He led his army with skill and quickly blended in with the chaos. His eyes showed a strong determination as his eyes landed on the Leo.
Pablo’s army had an eye-catching uniform that showed their deep hatred for both werewolves and vampires.
The uniform included a black cloak with a big silver vampire fang on one shoulder and a patch of wolf cloth on the other. The vampire fang reminded them of their opposition to vampires, and the wolf cloth represented their dislike for werewolves. By combining these two opposing elements, they showed their united goal to get rid of both races from their realm.
Every soldier proudly wore the uniform, showing their loyalty to Pablo’s army and their commitment to carry out his plan to create conflict and chaos between the two rival factions. When they marched into battle, their scary appearance caught the attention of their enemies and proved that they were a strong and dangerous force.
Tyler noticed them but was too involved in his fight to care.
On the other hand, Leo commanded his forces. Leo noticed Pablo from afar, an opponent he had won before but felt he needed to conquer over again.
They approached one another.
“I can see you’re just joining the party.” Leo sneered at him,”I always wandered where you had run off to, Pablo. What have you come to fight for?”
“I don’t fight for anything but I fight against you and them.” Pablo replied, gesturing with his eyes.
“Then you’re my enemy and you need to die.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Leo lunged at Pablo, tearing a tendon on his elbow.
Each strike was quick and calculated. They fought with an intensity fueled by their own motives – Pablo, seeking to introduce equality in the realm, and Leo, craving dominion over the realm.
During the intense fight, Pablo stood back, “I’ve defeated you before and I will do that again,” Pablo growled.
Leo smirked arrogantly. “We’ll see about that.”
The clash between the two leaders intensified. They matched each other blow for blow, strike for strike.
In the middle of the fighting, Lily’s mind was torn between the war and her worry for Jaxon. She hoped he was safe and away from his inner demons, but she couldn’t stop feeling anxious.
Amidst the chaos, Lily saw Jaxon nearby. They locked gazes for a moment, and Lily sensed the struggle he was facing within himself.
What Don told her flashed in her mind.
“No.. no.. no..”
Meanwhile, Leo was able to claw out Pablo’s second eye sending him down to the ground, reeling in pain. Every one of his men who came to attack Leo got beheaded one by one.
Leo, now standing on top of Pablo, smiling wickedly at his pain, said, “I have told you time and time again. You’re way over your prime, Pablo. ” He laughed out, “Now tell me, what are your last words?”

~LILY’S POV~
The moon hung high in the darkened sky as the the war between the vampires and werewolves was on the brink of eruption.
In the middle of all the feelings and unsure thoughts, Adrian and I stood at the center of the field, prepared to face what we were about to initiate. He could feel my nervousness and worry as he gazed into my eyes. He gripped my hand tightly, showing that he was there for me.
“Are you sure about this?” I asked, my voice shaking slightly.
He smiled softly. “I believe in you, Lily. You have the power within you, and I have faith that you’ll control it. It’s time for them to know who we are, who you are.”
With those words, I watched as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His body started to convulse, and the moonlight bathed him in an ethereal glow. In a matter of moments, his transformation began, and he emerged as a vampire-werewolf hybrid.
As I witnessed his transformation, I felt a surge of energy within myself. It was as if a long-lost connection was rekindled. In that moment, I knew what I had to do. Drawing strength from the memories of my encounters with the Guardians in the Forbidden Forest, I closed my eyes and reached out to them.
“Guardians of the Forest, I call upon your power,” I whispered, feeling the energy pulsating through my veins.
In response to my plea, five ethereal figures appeared before me. I alone could see them. Each one was radiant with a unique aura, representing:
The element they embodied – earth, air, fire, water, and spirit.
The power they had – strength, teleportation, control of elements, fast reflexes, and balance.
And the names they bore – Dynamisus, Lagomsa, Duatmenthes, Antanaklastika and Cathro.
They stood tall and calm, ready to share their gifts with me.
One by one, they imparted their powers into me, and I felt an overwhelming surge of energy coursing through my body. My eyes glowed with the same ethereal light that emanated from the Guardians as I fully transformed into my Guardian form.
The golden winged eagle. Atholigatura.
Cathros’ gleaming eyes shined through me, and she told me,”It’s time.” At the moment, a huge force hit my head and I felt a thousand gram of knowledge download into my brain at once.
After that, the guardians dissolved into air.
The field fell silent, and everyone’s eyes were fixed upon Adrian and I. Gasps of astonishment and awe filled the air. It was a sight no one had ever witnessed before, and the impact of my new powers was undeniable.
My dad’s face said it all.
“It’s incredible,” Sarah whispered, admiration and astonishment in her voice.
I turned to Adrian and I could feel his charming smile at me.
But then, she appeared.
