"Trust me." The words linger in my mind. Words coming from Sky that only I could hear as she fell backward into the darkness of the cliff edge.

My Lycan howls out in pain, the only sound in the forest besides some shouting and the sound of footsteps hitting the ground behind me.

Raina must have found a way through the barrier keeping them out. They burst through the clearing next to me, Mira gasping when she sees Gael on the other side of the clearing.

He is still in this weird skeletal form, the animosity flowing off him, saturating the space between us.

This was his fault. My Lycan sees red, rage consuming me and causing my muscles to pop out as they expand, the creature I have become bigger than ever before.

Gael anticipates my charge, his stance stiff as my beast lunges, barely missing his neck as he pushes me off to the side. He is strong. Stronger than I anticipated.

Righting myself, I pounce again, my claws digging into his bones and latching onto his cloak-covered arm. A burst of black energy throws me back, my body hitting a tree with a painful thud as my vision blurs. Ally runs towards me, helping my beast up as I shake my head, clearing the fogginess. A blur passes me, and then I see Gael being flung back as Andrea punches him hard in his skeleton face. He recovers quickly, getting back up just as Andrea moves to strike again. But as fast as he is, Geal stops him in his tracks, his hand around Andreas' throat squeezing so hard that Andrea starts wheezing as his windpipe is crushed.

A burst of light coming from Rain hits Gael in the chest, just what is needed for his grip to loosen on Andreas' throat as I pounce forward, knocking Andrea out of the way. Mira comes running, pulling Andrea to safety while his healing kicks in, his hand cradling his neck as it repairs itself.

"We need to separate him for the whip," Raina shouts, running towards me as we make a stand against Gael, who is slowly coming towards us, the whip gripped in his right hand dragging on the floor. We see the moment it lifts and hits the ground almost in slow motion, two shadow beings appearing beside him as if materializing from the darkness itself. They shoot forward, Raina countering with a burst of magic that obliterates the one coming for her while I lunge forward, tearing the one coming for me in half.

The two halves start morphing, the pieces making two new ones while the bits that have landed on the floor when Raina obliterated the other one also appear to be forming into individual creatures of their own. Now in front of us are eight shadow beings. 

Luckily, as if fate is on our side, Kira, Ivan, Rene, and Dylan all come bursting through the tree line in their wolf forms. They approach us, flanking our sides as we stand against the creatures and Gael—the very embodiment of good versus evil. Ally joins us to stand with Raina while Andrea, who has fully healed, and Mira, join me on my right-hand side.

"Ahh, how sweet. All of us here together. At least I won't have to hunt all of you down individually. Served to me on a golden platter, what more could I ask for?" Gael's voice floats around the clearing, the tone mocking as if he thinks we stand no chance.

"If we keep tearing them apart, they will just keep making more," Ally says quietly so only we can hear. "The only way to defeat them is to separate Gael from the whip."
