Chapter 88: The Last Stand
Elara was standing in a place that shouldn’t have been there when the white light went out.
However, she was still linked to the Shadow Goddess, even though they were not on the blood moon.
Thoughts and starlight made up the space between worlds where they were.
"That girl is smart," the Shadow Goddess growled. "But you cannot escape what you’ve started." Images flashed around them like TV screens that were broken.
Elara saw the Blackwood Pack fighting for their lives. She heard her friends calling her name. She saw the portal getting larger, swallowing everything. "Let me show you the truth," the goddess whispered.
Things looked different. Elara saw other packs all over the world now. When wolves go crazy, they kill their own families.
Vampires burning in sunlight they couldn’t avoid. Witches whose power had turned against them. "This is what your Quad Bond has done," the Shadow Goddess said.
"Every supernatural being on Earth is slowly losing their mind because of the resonance you’ve created." Elara’s heart broke as she watched a mother wolf attack her own cubs, her eyes wild with rage.
"Stop it," she begged. "I cannot. Only you can, by giving me your link." "There has to be another way!"
That’s when Celeste’s words echoed through the space between worlds: "The prophecy was wrong! There’s another way!" The Shadow Goddess spun around, her form quivering with anger. "Impossible.
That mortal cannot speak here." But Celeste’s voice came again, stronger this time. And with it came something else – the words of others.
