Layna, Liam and the rest arrived at the facility that was used as their safehouse for the time being. Layna and her parents packed their stuff while the Luna walked in. Her mum said,
"Layna I and your dad will step out for a while"
The Luna nodded gratefully at them and walked towards Layna. As she tried to hold Layna's hand, Layna dodged. A hint of hurt flashed through the Luna's eyes.
"I'm sorry dear... I know you're hurt and confused but... We had no choice" Luna Amalia sniffed and wiped her tears
"The vampires attacked our pack and before I could get to you, Gamo Diana, our pack's seer sent you to the human world. You were so little then and I nearly lost my mind but she said it was the plan of the heavens... I'm so sorry" the Luna broke down in tears.
Layna sighed and hugged her while patting her back,
"It's okay... Mum said whoever left me at their doorstep left a note that my life was in danger and all that"
"I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you"
"It's fine... It's all in the past anyways and a good family took me in"
Meanwhile Liam who was outside together with Tiana set out to help the werewolves safeguard the humans. May was brought to the safehouse by Tiana while Liam left to join Alpha Damien at the border.
When Layna saw May she hugged her tight.
"Where's Liam?" She asked Tiana
"He went to join the Alpha and the others at the border in the fight against Makasti"
"What?! That's crazy!! What the heck does he think he's doing?" Layna yelled
As she tried to leave the room to find Liam Gamo Diana stood at the entrance.
"Child... Turn around for this is all for the cause"
"What stupid cause is she talking about? Get the hell out of my way!!" Layna said
The Luna and Layna's mum rushed in as they heard her scream.
"What's going on" Luna Amalia asked
"The Supreme Alpha's mate must join the war for destiny to be fulfilled. Makasti tried to turn the hands of the heavens but the heavens are greater. They are wise" Saying that the Gamo left.
Layna broke down in tears while everyone consoled her.
"Why don't you try honing your powers?" Tiana said to distract Layna while everyone else looked at her. She cleared her throat and continued.
"You're still at the intermediate stage of your powers... Why don't you train in the mean time till Liam and the others get back"
"Yes dear that'll be nice... So you can help him later" Layna's mum said
Layna stood up with vigor and turned to Tiana, "teach me how to hone my powers"
Luna Amalia and the rest sighed with relief.
Meanwhile Liam arrived at the border and saw the werewolves fighting the vampires. It would have been a fair and equal fight, however Makasti had swallowed the ancient dark pill and had gained enormous strength and a strange malformed appearance. Liam's eyes blazed red as he remembered his mum.
"Makasti you asshole! Your end is here!" He yelled
With that he breezed through the hoard of vampires killing anyone his hands could get to. As a prince, the royal blood had it's advantages. Liam was stronger than all the vampires present. Soon enough the number of vampires were dwindling. Makasti saw this and launched a sneak attack on Alpha Damien and fled. Liam gave chase.
After a while they both stopped at a park.
"Give up Makasti... This is the end of your evil reign" Liam said
" 'Makasti'? Is that what you call me now?" Makasti laughed "Kid for the sake of our past relationship I'll let you go today ... But the next time you stand in my way.. hehe.. I'll kill you"
"Quit talking!" Liam said and with that he attacked.
After exchanging blows, the power of the dark surged within Makasti and he struck Liam, groping out his heart. Liam and Makasti stared at the heart in Makati's hand which strangely started to beat after it was extracted. Liam fell to his knees on the floor. Makasti threw the heart on the ground and fled, fright obvious in his eyes.
' I hadn't intended to kill my son... Something controlled me'
