Chapter 44 The Blood Moon

The night sky had turned an ominous shade of crimson, as if the heavens were bleeding. A thick, unnatural silence hung over the battlefield, broken only by the faint rustling of leaves and the crackle of distant energy. The scattered and weary pack stood amid the chaos, their eyes fixed on the sky above. The blood moon loomed large, casting its eerie, blood-red light on them all. It was no longer just a sign but a force, a harbinger of something far more potent than anyone could understand. Kai’s breath came in ragged gasps, his body battered and bruised from the ongoing battle. His heart pounded in his chest, a wild, unrelenting rhythm that mirrored the turmoil within him. Lila stood before him, her form a twisted reflection of the woman he had once known. The curse had taken hold of her completely, its dark tendrils pulling her further away with every passing second.
