Ahead, an old temple was visible, surrounded by several figures. They were the men of 'Black Ice.'
"We need a plan," Damian said.
Mr. Shadow spoke gravely, "I will go inside. You three stay hidden here."
"No!" I said. "I'm coming with you. They are my mother and sister."
David squeezed my hand. "It's dangerous, Sophia."
"I know," I said. "But I can't just sit here and do nothing."
Just then, a scream came from the temple. I recognized it—it was Emma's voice.
"Emma!" I cried out.
Mr. Shadow made a quick decision. "Alright, but you stay behind us. And do exactly as we say."
We moved slowly towards the temple. As we got closer, the voices became clear.
"You will tell us where she is," a gruff voice was saying. "Where is Sophia?"
My mother's voice came, "I will not tell you. My daughter will never fall into the hands of people like you."
I looked at Mr. Shadow. He signaled that we would enter from different directions.
David and Damian went to the right, while Mr. Shadow and I went to the left. The interior of the temple was vast, and in the center, my mother and Emma were tied up. Five men—the Alphas of 'Black Ice'—stood around them.
Mr. Shadow squeezed my hand, "Get ready."
At that moment, David and Damian attacked. Chaos erupted. I immediately sprinted towards my mother and Emma.
"Sophia!" Emma screamed.
I started untying their ropes, but a 'Black Ice' Alpha grabbed me.
"You're the one," he growled. "The special Luna."
I struggled, but he was too strong. Then, suddenly, that golden light erupted from my body again. The Alpha screamed and recoiled.
I quickly finished untying Emma and my mother. "Come on, we have to get out of here!"
But the exit was blocked by 'Black Ice' members. We were trapped.
Mr. Shadow reached us. "Get back," he commanded.
He raised his hands, and a powerful blast of energy erupted. The 'Black Ice' men were thrown back, giving us a path to escape.
We ran, but then I saw my mother had fallen behind. She was fighting a 'Black Ice' Alpha.
"Mother!" I screamed.
"Go!" she yelled. "I'll be right behind you!"
Mr. Shadow pulled my hand, "We have to go!"
We fled back into the forest, but my mother hadn't emerged yet. Emma was crying, "We can't leave Mother!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the forest, "You all go. I'll get her."
We turned to see—it was David. He ran back towards the temple.
We waited, every moment filled with dread. A few minutes later, David returned with my mother. She was injured, but safe.
"Come on, hurry," David said. "They're right behind us."
We ran to the car and sped away. As we drove off, we saw the 'Black Ice' members emerging from the temple.
My mother looked at me, tears in her eyes. "You're safe, Sophia. That's all that matters to me."
I hugged her tightly. "But what happens now? They'll find us."
Mr. Shadow spoke from the front seat, "The battle has now begun. And this fight is going to be the biggest one yet."
The car raced through the darkness, and we all knew this was only the beginning. The real war was still to come.
The car was speeding away when five powerful Alphas suddenly materialized in front of us. Emma shrank back in fear, but I calmed her. "Don't panic, Emma. These are Mother's companions. They won't harm us."
Damian stopped the car and we all got out. The eldest-looking of the five Alphas spoke to my mother. "Come with us, you are in danger. We will protect you."
Mother replied in a worried tone, "But Sophia is also in danger."
That Alpha said, "Mr. Shadow is with her. No one can so much as touch her while he is there."
We all stood there, watching this scene unfold. Mother was adamant. "I will not go without Sophia."
Then another of the Alphas spoke, "Very well, we will take her with us for tonight. By morning, her companions will come for her. The immediate danger will have passed by then."
Mother agreed. The five Alphas lifted my mother and me onto their shoulders and vanished. Behind, Emma, Mr. Shadow, David, and Damian were left, who quickly headed towards the safehouse.
Within moments, we were inside an ancient fortress in another part of the city. The fortress was massive, with countless rooms and corridors. They showed me a room and then moved on with my mother. But I stealthily followed them.
They reached a vast chamber. I stopped near the door and peered inside. One Alpha said, "Get ready quickly, we will step out to increase the security perimeter."
When they exited, I hid under a table. Then I quietly entered the same chamber. The room was royally decorated, with a huge bed in the center. An attached bathroom led off from it, from where faint sounds were emanating.
I hid in a wardrobe, whose mirrored door allowed me to see outside. After a while, Mother emerged from the bathroom, holding a bottle of oil. She sat on the bed and began applying the oil to her body, first the front, then the back. Then she lay down on her stomach.
Soon, the five Alphas returned. They glanced at each other, then slowly approached Mother. The first Alpha placed his hands on her shoulders, the second stroked her hair. Mother closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.
The third Alpha began massaging her back with the oil, his fingers working out every knot of tension. The fourth began massaging her feet, while the fifth sat near her head, running his fingers through her hair.
Mother's body gradually relaxed. She moaned, "After so many years... I am back among you all."
The eldest Alpha spoke, "You were always ours, you just distanced yourself."
"I did it to protect my daughters," Mother said, her voice pained.
A second Alpha said, "And now your daughters are on the same path. You couldn't have saved them from this."
Tears welled in Mother's eyes. "I knew... but I had to try."
Their conversation revealed that these five Alphas were members of Mother's original pack, from whom she had separated to protect Sophia and Emma. Now, danger had reunited them.
I watched all of this from inside the wardrobe, holding my breath. I was beginning to understand why Mother had hidden her true nature for all these years. She wanted to keep us away from this life.
But everything had changed now. Both Emma and I had become part of this mysterious world, and Mother had been forced to return to her old companions.
As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the room grew more intense. The Alphas had surrounded Mother, their presence radiating the power of an ancient bond. It wasn't just physical, but a spiritual connection that had remained unbroken despite time and distance.
But most importantly, I had seen my mother in a new light today—not just as a mother, but as a powerful Luna with her own history and her own bonds. And this truth had given my own destiny a new direction.
I was standing silently in the wardrobe, lost in these thoughts, when a powerful scream from my mother grabbed my attention. I looked through the glass—Mother was held between two Alphas. An expression of bliss and fulfillment was on her face, as if she had finally returned to her true self after years.
Mother's eyes held the same glow that would one day be in mine. She was completely immersed in the moment, feeling safe and whole among her Alphas. I stood transfixed in my spot, watching my mother—the same mother who was always calm and composed—filled with such passion and ecstasy.
Then a scene shocked me even more. Two of the Alphas took Mother's breasts into their mouths, and streams of milk flowed forth. Mother sobbed, her body convulsing. The sight was so intimate and powerful that I couldn't pull myself away.
I realized this wasn't just physical—it was a deep spiritual bond. An exchange of energy was happening between Mother and her Alphas, filling the entire room with a strange luminescence. The milk flowing from Mother's body wasn't ordinary—it was the energy of a powerful Luna, nourishing her Alphas.
"Harder!" Mother's voice trembled, "Please, harder!"
Her voice held a plea filled with years of suppressed desires. This was not the mother I knew—this was a powerful Luna returning to her true form.
Suddenly, Mother's gaze lifted straight towards the wardrobe. Her eyes met mine. For a moment, time seemed to stand still. I stood holding my breath, wondering what would happen now.
But there was no anger on Mother's face—rather, a strange smile. She looked at me, then slowly raised one hand and gestured for me to leave. Her eyes held a message—"This is not your time. Go."
I nodded slightly and quietly slipped out of the wardrobe, moving towards the door. My heart was pounding. As I reached the door, I turned for one last look. Mother was smiling now, a peace in her eyes that I had never seen before.
I exited the room and stood in the corridor, taking a deep breath. Today I had witnessed a truth that had changed my world. Mother had always encouraged us to live a normal life, but today I saw that she herself was never normal.
Suddenly, a voice echoed behind me, "You shouldn't be here."
I turned to see the eldest of the five Alphas standing there. There was no anger in his eyes, but a strange understanding.
"I... I'm sorry," I said.
