Chapter 1 PROLOGUE

In the heart of the ancient forest, where shadows dance among the towering trees and whispers echo through the dense foliage, lies the all-powerful and undefeated pack - The Blood Crescent pack.

Ruled by the green-eyed wolf, Alpha Randall who left nothing but death and darkness in his trail, they are the most feared pack in all of the South.

Alpha Randall conquered territories and brought great Alphas to their knees. His conquests were legendary, his name striking fear into the hearts of all who dared to oppose him.

His reign was both a curse and a blessing, depending on how one tread with him.

Despite all that was seen on the surface, Alpha Randall is faced with a great challenge... A challenge that would either ruin him or make him even more powerful, and this challenge comes in the form of a prophecy... A prophecy that has been kept hidden from the world.

“Beware, the wolf with eyes of green, For power wields a double-edged keen.

Mate's choice holds fate's decree, Blessing or curse, it soon shall be.

A mate's betrayal, a pack undone, In the darkest hour, the battle's won.

Seek the key in whispers old, Where tales untold, the future hold. In cryptic signs, the answers lie.

Whoever bears the mark of the green-eyed wolf becomes his doom or his blessings.

The chosen one, a maiden fair, Shall rise to face the black-eyed wolf. In her hands, the fate of all lies, To heed the call or let it fall.”

Bound by an oath, The Alpha, His Beta, His Gamma, and The Immortal witch swore to protect the prophecy with their lives, as this prophecy holds the reign and destruction of Alpha Randall and the Blood Crescent pack.

The prophecy succeeded in being a huge secret until one fateful evening, the veil of secrecy was shattered, and the prophecy they feared laid bare before them, setting into motion a chain of events that would reshape the destiny of their realm.

The night was cold and eerie, the dimly lit candles in the small chamber offering little warmth to the young woman lying on the small wooden bed. Small whimpers escaped her lips as she writhed, her brows furrowed in distress and her eyes still closed in a deep sleep as she was trapped in the depths of an unsettling dream.

She found herself standing before an ethereal woman, clad in a white flowing gown, who smiled lovingly at her, gently stroking her cheek.

"Reyana, my child," the ethereal figure called, her voice a soothing melody that calmed the storm within Reyana's soul.

"Mother?" The young lady called out in a trembling voice, tears pooling in her eyes as she reached out to touch the woman, "Please take me with you, mother. I feel so lost without you," she pleaded, letting the tears flow freely from her big, round sapphire eyes.

"I am always with you, my child," the ethereal woman whispered, her voice a gentle breeze that caressed Reyana's cheek. "And remember, Beware, the wolf with eyes of green, For power wields a double-edged keen.

Mate's choice holds fate's decree, Blessing or curse, it soon shall be.

A mate's betrayal, a pack undone, In the darkest hour, the battle's won.

Seek the key in whispers old, Where tales untold, the future hold. In cryptic signs, the answers lie.

Whoever bears the mark of the green-eyed wolf becomes his doom or his blessings.

The chosen one, a maiden fair, Shall rise to face the black-eyed wolf. In her hands, the fate of all lies, To heed the call or let it fall." The ethereal woman quoted as she gradually vanished with the wind.

"No! Please stay with me! Mother!" Reyana let out a heart-wrenching cry as she was pulled back into the reality of the confines of her small chambers, making her jolt up in fear as she tried to steady her breathing.

It was yet another nightmare, but this time, it was a nightmare with a strange prophecy.

The journey begins, and the fate of their realm rests in the hands of those brave enough to seize it.
