The Moons Darkside

Chapter Thirty-One | Before the War

"Let us make this a learning experience," Asha said; it was the end of the training, and Asha and Tara decided to practice protection spells.

"What is the difference between protection spells and potions? Wouldn't it be easier to dunk a whole potion around the house?"

"With spells, only the witch that caused them is allowed to use her powers; with potions, it only protects those we want to keep away. Magic can still interfere."Emma said, walking out with some water. She kissed Milo's cheek and helped Tara.

Tara and Emma stand next to one another in front of the house. They both closed their eyes. Spheres of blue and gold appear around them. Asha walks in between them; Green orbs appear. The the girl pushes their hand out, and the globe turns into a sigil of protection. They all aligned into a circle around the house. Making a booming sound when they connect, signaling the spell has worked.

"So what is the plan? How do we stop this battle with Kain once and for all," Seth said, walking to tara and handing her a water bottle. The sound of a car pulling up got the team's attention. Erick got out of the driver's seat with Andre popping his head out the window.

"Ya kids want some candy," Andre said, getting out of eh car.

"What we want is a plan, Uncle Andre."Seth said, looking at his father."So what are we going to do."

"At least let us go inside; we don't know what lurks around," Andrea said, and the group went into the living room.

"I'm about the ask how Tear's studies are."

"A born natural. She has become a young master in her work. She will be ready for the inactivation."Asha said, looking at Tara, who bowed her head in gratitude.

"in less than a week, Countess Barbra will come from Europe by midnight that night. He will want to go to blood peak and indicate the curse.

"We must be before him then; never let him reach the top."

'I've spoken with Fellow packs that will join us."Andre said."They want this war to be over with soon."

When we get there, tara and Emma need to indicate the counter spell against countess Barbra. Kain will more likely bring a team with him. Erick said. He was looking at Tara.

Something in Tar's heart spiked at the feeling. It was all up to her; she needed to do this to protect the people she cared about. to save the man she loved; she glanced at Seth, who was looking at his father. she wanted to be by his side when he became chief of the pack. He was so strong and caring. He could bring a whole room to silence when he walked into a building. Tara wanted to be strong for him. But all she welt was weak and numb.

"Tara."Erick called out, getting him out of her head."Do you think you'll be able to counter the spell?"

"As ready as ill ever be.;' tara said, looking up. she felt her chest tighten and excused herself to go outside and get some air.

"Seth, think about who you'll need to bring from our pack. I need to make a call."Erick said, walking outside. He said Stara was out and informed the house on the steps.

I'm sorry I rushed out of there. I just needed some air."Tara said, taking a deep breath, in and out.

"I understand; you were never born into this life. But it seemed this life was made for you."Erick said, taking a seat next to her. There was silence as they listened to the wind blow against the trees.

"When I was young, I lost my parents in a car accident. I got adopted by a couple. They brought me home then everything went downhill. Over the years, they started to grow apart, and I ended up for myself. When mom was away, dad brought the girls home, and I stayed in my room. When he was away, mom did the same with men. they faked their love for one another in front of me. But in secret, they both lied. My father died first, then my mother. Sometimes I wish I had my grandmother. She would have taught me everything."

'then you wouldn't have met Seth."Erick said, looking at her."If your grandmother took you in, you'd be indulged with all magic; you'd powerplay be home school and never meet the ordinary people out there. You grew up believing in stores. then those stories become real when you met Seth that night."Erick said, looking at Tara, who just nodded.

"How did this all start? With Kain just wanting revenge and blood."Tara asked, looking at him.

Erick looked out in the cotton side."It started when Kian's father wanted to meet about territories; he was a good man but let his son get away with anything he wanted."Erick explained."It was after the meeting with Kian asked Jonah and Seth to come out near the lake with him. Little did we know. Michela, his right hand, was waiting to freeze Seth and make him watch as he killed Jonah. And he did. But at the time, they were all young children, and their powers were fully developed. SO Seh was still able to howl to get me. But it was too late. Kian had already killed Jonah, and Seth was defenseless. I ran outside, and the vampires disappeared. I ran to see Seth cradle Jonah. Seth was covered in blood and had a massive scratch on his rib."Erick said he started to tear up and blinked it away."That was the night I lost my eldest son. And Seth was scared for life."

"That's why he wants this to be over, so that past can finally rest," Tara said, looking at Erick.

They both stood up, and Erick and tara went for a hug."You are perfect for my son, and I will be lucky in the future to be your father-in-law."

"id is honored to be your daughter-in-law." tara said as they both walked back inside. The dear of being not prepared for the future disappointed. But the past never will change.

A werewolf will die that night.
