Bright Good Soul

SCOTT POV

I didn't had to blink again to make sure it was her. She's glowing as always, but, a few of her angles show obvious exhaustion that made me feel heartrending. My eyes trailed from her hair to her lips, down to her bleeding arm and.. her belly. With a possible baby on the way, how could she bear the pain from that awful wound? Pregnant women are always sensitive. And what's more puzzling, why isn't her wound healing? Whether she is pregnant or not, this is not a place for my Luna.

"You are all welcome here. Take a good look at your beloved". Tamara said. As usual, Ofir sprinted out after seeing Tamara have successfully harbored Claudia's powers.

Standing frozen behind Tamara, my entire body felt like were bound on the gravity pulling me to the ground. I couldn't move. Feeling like cold water was splashed through my body, not even a single finger or a crinkle of my nose can be moved. I looked around with my eyes and noticed the sigil marks drawn around me. Studying the symbols, the spell she casted around me made my voice silent, at the same time turned my body heavy. How clever this nagua really was. She kept me distracted as I keep on striking and dodging her attacks while she kept herself busy hemming me in her traps.

"What did you do to him?" Diana stared at Tamara's unrecognizable and hideous physique. I tried to call her name, and expectedly, she couldn't hear a thing.

"Scott is perfectly fine. He's been waiting for all of you.", Tamara replied. "I see you two have something for me.. well well, I need them", Tamara smiled showing her bloody set of fangs

"You have to get to me first, If you can" Roman derisively said. I scoffed with how boast he was. Expecting Diana would be accompanied by wolves from the pack, I didn't anticipated that she'd be with someone I don't trust. Not him. Not Roman Brooke. He better make sure he'll keep my Luna alive until I figure out how to get out from here.

"You?", Tamara laughed at Roman. "How sure are you that my voice isn't the one you hear in your head? You delivered the Luna to me, and you just got the job done", she said.

"I'm here to make sure nothing happens to my Luna", Roman said like it's true. "You did poisoned my thoughts. But let me tell you, I'll kill you first before it ever happens again… ", Roman admitted Tamara's possession over his mind and body, and that he have fought it out. However, I can clearly see his struggles when Tamara fixes her gaze at him. I suppose he would take out the real Alpha in him or else, I'd kill him myself even if he's dead.

"Sharp tongue, but not so sharp mind. Let's see what you got then", Tamara said as she attack Roman in an instant.

Side by side with Roman, Diana threw punches at Tamara. When he shapeshifted to his wolf form, there's this glowing blue marble embedded on his fur. It seemed like he found Ofir's other marble, making me gain more distrust and worry.

Diana had no ounce of fear on the lines of her face as she held on to that stake with a pretty red marble. She used and swung it like she was born to do it. Flabbergasted with the incredible force in each kick and hit she made, surely that red marble must be Ofir's making her stronger and more capable in battles. How could she be this brave when I feel weak to my knees seeing her in such circumstance? My face hardens each time she gets thrown and punched. When I get out from here, I won't hesitate to kill Tamara.

I stared at Diana, before I shifted my gaze at Roman. Then it came to me, that everything fell into place for Tamara. Every person she ever wanted was within her reach in that perfect moment - The Lycan, The Vessel, and the Lythari's powers in the three marbles.

Roman put up a good fight with Tamara. Impressively, he was indeed a good fighter not until Tamara caught him off guard when he aided Diana after being thrown to the rocks. Tamara tried to snatch the marble from his rib. However, the marble just passed through her hand,unable for her to touch it. "Get Scott, Luna!", Roman shouted making Diana ran towards me. Tamara pinned Roman down with her thorned vines, keeping him on the boulder.

Diana reached me in not time. I don't know what she sees, but she was all tears screaming my name to my face. Her cold hands touched my face, and no matter how hard I tried to hold her back, I just can't. She slowly turned her back to me as she face Tamara who was staring blankly at her.

"I'm not a bright good soul so I can't pick up those marbles with my bare hands", Tamara said. "So I need you, to gather all my pretty marbles until I can transfer the powers to me", She added as she started whispering her incantations
