Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

It had come for her. It was supposed to comfort her. It did, however, what was behind it was more than terrifying.

Helos, the lover that Ryan’s mother had, had done something terrible in his blind rage. He had gone back to his tribe and immediately reported what was happening. He begged for them to come and rescue his mate but all the elders were definitely against it. They were not married, which meant that he really didn’t have any legal claim over her. And for tribes to take over another was a norm in those days. The Northern chiefs all voted against launching a head on attack over another powerful pack. Their reason was very rational but Helps lost his sense of right and wrong in the wilderness of his haywire emotions.

He retreated with his head bowed. The darkness inside him slowly consumed him. In the dead of the night, he went out in the wild, straight towards the Black caves, which was a forbidden place that reeked of dark wizardry.

There he made a deal with his darkness. He swore to claim what was his. He was determined to teach everyone a lesson who dared to cross his path in the future.

He came back with an ax that night which he used to get rid of all the chiefs in his clan, including the present Alpha. But they did so, without a trace of blood. The next morning, their corpses rose and walked to the court where everyone assembled. They called for a sudden coronation ceremony and declared Helos , their Alpha chief.

Nobody saw them drop after the ceremony was over, because everybody was whizzing on the floor, coughing and spitting blood because they had all been drinking from the same poisoned bar. Even the food was spiked with venom.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Helos sat on his new throne as he saw the place he called home turn steadily into a mass grave. He sat there with a twisted smile and a sadist pleasure, spreading through his entirety.

” Now, you will all be reborn and will always be by my side. No questions, no answers, no arguments, just obedience for eternity. ”

With that he howled at the dark moon in the sky and the darkness around him detached itself from the surroundings and moved into the bodies of the deceased. It moved through their veins and their cells and the movement was externally visible. It entered through the nose and came out of the mouth. It contoured itself into the respective human form of its hosts. A shadowy replica of the bodies that were lying on the floor.

They stepped forward and bowed before Helos, who began clapping and laughing maliciously.

” It’s time to give your forms some strength my kids, ” He slashed his vein open and began collecting his blood in his wine glass.

” Eat and gain your strength little things. Somebody is waiting for me. I need to hurry to set her free. ”

Saying so, he began sprinkling his blood over them, as they slowly began solidifying. Within moments, he had before him an army of what seemed like shadow soldiers, a battalion of undead wolves.

He marched with them behind him, their bodies shimmering and glittering in the night with the darkest moon. They marched in silence as he led them, towards the tiny fort. He stopped when they were near the woods. His eyes turned red as he conjured the darkness again and shaped it into a beast with wings that looked like a crow. He whispered some words for his beloved in its ears and asked it to deliver the message to her that he was on his way to rescue her.

Ryan’s mother looked at the alpha sleeping on her bed. She knew that her lover had done something that reeked sinister yet she was unsure if he would be able to handle the powerful army that the man in front of her had. She panicked again and she knew she had to act fast.

She also did not want to trick her lover into saving her before letting him know that she was no longer his untouched flower. She asked the bird to return. She begged for him to stop and appointed a date for them to meet in the woods in secret.

Helos was stunned to receive such a reply.

He was more stunned to learn the circumstances in which the bird visited his beloved.

He couldn’t believe what he was being told. It reeked of betrayal but he had hope. He wanted to ravage and kill the entire tribe before him but he knew that he had used up much of his energy already that night. The dark forces didn’t adhere to commands without taking anything as sacrifice before adhering. Besides, she had promised a meeting at the woods. He was willing to hear her part of the story, before he ripped the chest open of the man who was sleeping beside his beloved.

He retracted that night.

The next few days, rather nights he spent sending out news of his coronation. He sprinkled the woods around his territory with water cast with his dark spells. He wanted to keep any visitor out. He didn’t want the world to know his secret. He was now the proud owner of a phantom town. The owner of the dark forces that lurked in the hinterlands in the darkness of the darkest moon.

His beloved, on the other hand, was busy preparing for her departure. Being in the harem, equipped one with a certain level of power, specially if they are well behaved. She learnt that quickly and she was busy using her connections, trying to escape her captivity.

All was well till the day of the appointment arrived. Everything was planned and was working as it was supposed to be but right in the morning of the appointed day, Ryan’s mother suddenly started feeling dizzy.

Her feet started to feel a little heavy and she was feeling a sense of bloating. To top it up, her senses seemed to function rather abnormally. It worsened when she started throwing up.
