The Omega Mated To The Four

The tent was filled with a heave silence after the elders left, their siber faces still lingering in my mind. I sat cross-legged on the rough floor, trying to process everything we had just learned.

A few moments of silence passed before Alex cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention. "We need to figure out how we're getting to the Uncharted Realm. The Children of the Eclipse know have the map they'll be hunting us down soon enough. We can't afford to stay here any longer." Ryan crossed his arms over his chest, his expression thoughtful. "The Children of the Eclipse have probably locked down every knowch portal." "So, what's the plan?" Austin finally asked, breaking the silence. "We can't just sit here and wait for another attack. They know we're alive, and it's only a matter of tbefore they find us again.

"He's right," Alex chimed in, eyes narrowed. "The Children of the Fese won't stop until they've wiped us out. And if they have Elijah on their side... His voice trailed off, and 1 felt my chest tighten at the mention of his name.

Isaiah glanced at me, his gaze cautious, as if he were afraid to bring up Elijah again. I forced myself to look away, focusing on the map spread out before me.

kyan cleared his throat, stepping forward. "I can't help but wonder-how do you plan to reach the portals to the Uncharted Realm? If the Children of the Eclipse are looking for you, traveling by any normal means is practically a death sentence." 1 bit my lip, mulling over his words. He was right, of course. We couldn't just waltz into enemy territory, especially not with how easily we had been tracked before. But how else could we get there without being spotted? My thoughts raced, but nothing seemed feasible, "The first twe went to the Uncharted Realm....Eira took us through a place. A massive, twisted old tree in the mountains. It was creepy as hell, but it worked. If we can get there, we might be able to use it again." I said.

Alex grimaced. "That place gavet the creeps, Are o you sure it still works? 1 hesitated, the uncertainty clawing at my thoughts. "It's our best shot. Besides, it's not like we have many options." One of the witches, a tall woman named Mirabel, spoke up. "There are other ways. For example the portals we use but only high-ranking witches can open certain portals, and even then, they're unstable." I frowned, trying to piece together a plan in my mind. "There has to be another way," I muttered, "There's no guarantee the witches strong enough to open a portal are even still alive." Isaiah glanced between us, his brow furrowed. "We have to be smart about this. If we're not careful, we'll be walking right into- another trap.".

Mirabel exchanged a glance with another witch before speaking up. There's another possibility... but I've only read about it" Isaiah looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "What is it?" Mirabel hesitated. "One of the abilities of the Silver Wolf line is the power of the Lunar Veil. It's a mystical barrier that separates the physical world from the spiritual realm. During certain lunar cycles, the veil thins, allowing powerful beings to cross over. Silver Wolves can manipulate it-kind of like teleporting without needing portal." I looked at her, confused. "The Lunar Veil? I tried to process that, my mind racing. "So... you're saying I can travel between realms on my own? Without a witch or a portal?" 1/3 Chapter 176 "Yes," the witch replied. "But It's not something just any Silver Wolan do. It requires complete harmony with your wolf spirit and a deep connection to the lunar energy. You don't seem to have done before have you?" My mind flashed back to that strange incident when I'd vanished for hours, only to reappear later with no memory of how I'd gotten to the clearing. I nodded slowly. "I think I have... It happened once. Right before we left the pack, when I was walking back to the cabin. I helped a trapped elk and somehow... just vanished." Austin raised an eyebrow. "Wait, you're saying that was the Lunar Vill? You disappeared, and we couldn't find you anywhere. We thought something happened to you." "It wasn't intentional, I admitted. "It just... happened. I didn't know what I was doing." Alpha Ryan stepped closer, his eyes thoughtful. "If you could learn to control it, that might be our safest way into the Uncharted Bealm. But if it's unstable.

"It's too risky," Alex cut in. "What if we get stuck between realms of ost The thought of being trapped in sliminal space made my stomach twist, but I forced myself to st we'll have to use the tree. I'm not risking getting stuck when we're inning out of time." stay calm, "If I can't control it, The witch nodded in agreement. "It's wise to have a backup plan. The Lunar Veil is powerful, but it's unpredictable, especially if you're not fully attuned to your abilities." "Then we'll stick to the original plan," Isaiah said firmly. "We'll go to the tree at first light. If it's still functioning as a portal, we ase it. If not... we'll figure something out." ring. Let's h Austin scoffed. "That's comforting. hope it works because I'd rather not walk through another death trap" gave him a half-hearted smile, trying to lighten the mood. "If only we still had Eira's car. We'd be there in no time. Now it'll take us two days on foot." Alex let out a low groan. "Great. Nothing like a two-day hike to the most cursed tree in existence." "At least we'll be in wolf form." Isaiah pointed out. "We'll move faster that way."

"Then it's settled," I said, pushing away the lingering doubts gnawing at my mind, "We leave at dawn. Rest up While you can. We'll need all the strength we can get." The witches exchanged glances before bowing their heads slightly. "We will prepare supplies and create protective charms for your journey," one of them offered gave

her a nod of gratitude, and they exited the tent quietly, leaving just the leaving just t four of us and, Alpha Ryan. He dhis crossed his arms, his expression serious but supportive. we're spread too thin, and with the increased "I wish could send sof my pack's defense team with you," he said. "But w attacks...

people safe. We'll handle the Uncharted Realm." I put a hand on his shoulder. "You're doing everything you can. Just keep your people Ryan hesitated for a moment before giving a nod. "Understood. May the moon guide your path."

After he left, 1 sank to the ground, the exhaustion finally catching up to me. My mates settled aroundoffering I silent Despite the determination I showed, the truth was, I was terrified.

Not just of the journey, but of what we'd find when we the Uncharted Realm-and whether or not Elijah would be waiting for us on the side of the enemy.
