**The Day He Forgot He Hated Me by Evangeline Marrow**

The figure lowered his hood completely, revealing a cascade of silver hair that shimmered like starlight under the watchful gaze of the moon. His eyes, sharp and commanding, seemed to slice through the night, assessing the pack, the relics, and finally, locking onto me.

“My son,” he declared, his voice resonating with an authority that sent a chill racing down my spine.

At that moment, my heart seized, caught in a vise of disbelief and confusion. I stood frozen, grappling with the weight of his words. My father’s voice was unwavering, yet the implications of what he had just said struck me like a physical blow.

“My son?” I echoed, the words tasting foreign on my tongue.

In a desperate bid for clarity, I turned to Eryx, my gaze pleading for answers. He looked older tonight, shadows of worry etched deeply into his features, making him appear more like a weary sage than the fierce protector I knew him to be. “I… I thought he was gone,” Eryx murmured, almost as if speaking to himself. “I thought… I was too late. But he survived.”

The figure stepped forward, emerging fully into the moonlight. His silver hair gleamed, and his piercing eyes held a depth that seemed to speak of years spent in survival and solitude. He towered over me, broader and older than I had anticipated, and I realized with a jolt that I did not recognize him at all—not truly.

“I… I’m Kaelen,” he finally introduced himself, his voice steady yet imbued with an undercurrent of emotion. “I’ve been searching for answers. Something has drawn me here… toward you, toward my blood.”

An instinctive pull surged within me, a connection that felt both foreign and familiar. It wasn’t hostile; rather, it resonated with a quiet strength, trying to find equilibrium with my own energy. Yes, he was older, but his power felt diminished, a flicker compared to the tempest within me. Yet, it carried the weight of survival, a testament to resilience. My mind was a whirlwind of confusion and curiosity.

He gazed at me, his eyes filled with a mix of longing and hope. “I survived the Eclipse. I had no idea if anyone else had made it. I… I’ve been searching for my family, my place, for what feels like an eternity. And now… here you are.”

Eryx placed a hand over his heart, his voice trembling with emotion. “I… I thought I lost him too. I didn’t know. I didn’t even know if he was alive. I thought I had failed.”

My thoughts spiraled in a chaotic dance. A brother. An older brother. And here he stood, amidst the clearing, surrounded by the relics, the pack, and the energy of the Eclipse thrumming around us like a living thing. Tension hung in the air, a mixture of grief and awe that seemed to envelop us all. The wolves around us were frozen, caught in a liminal space between reverence and fear. My pulse thrummed in harmony with the earth beneath me, steady yet wild, as if echoing the ancient rhythms of life.

Asher tightened his grip around my hand, his voice a soothing balm in the chaos. “You’re not alone in this, Trinny,” he said softly, grounding me in the moment. “Even if he’s older and unfamiliar with all of this… we’ll navigate it together.” His warmth seeped into me, steadying my racing heart even as the world felt like it was tilting on its axis.

Kaelen’s gaze flickered back to me, and once again, I felt that undeniable pull. The connection between us was not born of danger but of something deeper, magnetic and unyielding. “I… I don’t know if I’m strong enough,” he confessed, vulnerability lacing his words. “My power… it’s weaker than yours, and I’ve had to conceal it for so long.” He paused, his voice thick with unexpressed emotions. “But perhaps, together, we can mend what the Eclipse sought to destroy.”

I stepped closer, my heart swelling with an unexpected surge of determination. “Weak? That doesn’t matter. You survived. You’re here. That’s more than anyone could have hoped for. You’re part of this now. You’ll learn. You’ll contribute. That’s more than enough.”

Kaelen swallowed hard, his expression shifting as he nodded, a flicker of resolve igniting within him. “If I’m part of this… I’ll do everything I can. I don’t want to ruin anything.”

He took a cautious step closer, his gaze lingering on me with an intensity that was both unsettling and compelling.

“We all believed you were dead. We thought the tale of your demise at the hands of rogues was true,” he said, his voice laced with pain.

“But you found me,” I answered softly, my voice trembling against the backdrop of the shifting world around us.

“The pull of the Eclipse is far stronger than our mothers’ ancestors could have ever fathomed,” he replied, his tone distant, as if he were unearthing memories buried deep within his soul.

Eryx moved closer, placing a reassuring hand on Kaelen’s shoulder. “You won’t mess anything up. The bloodline will guide you. You’ll feel it, and you’ll learn. But tonight… the Eclipse is waiting. We must concentrate. Everything is converging now—the relics, the pack, the bloodline.”

I surveyed the surroundings, noting the palpable tension among the pack. They could sense the shift in the atmosphere. Kaelen’s arrival had stirred the relics, causing them to pulse in harmony with our bloodline. Even the shadows lurking at the forest’s edge seemed to hold their breath, aware of the change. The air thickened, alive with the hum of something ancient awakening beneath our feet. The Eclipse had begun to listen.

Dennis growled, his voice low yet commanding. “Stay close. No wandering. We can’t afford any mistakes tonight.”

Kaelen nodded, his eyes fixed on the relics, his hands hovering uncertainly. But as soon as his fingers brushed against them, the relics responded, pulsing faintly at first, then stronger, as if acknowledging his presence. I felt a protective rhythm resonate in response to him, subtle yet undeniable, like a heartbeat syncing with our own. The air around us crackled with anticipation.

“You see?” Eryx whispered, pride and relief evident in his voice. “Even his power, small as it may seem next to yours, strengthens the bond. The Eclipse reacts to all of us.”

I turned to Kaelen, my voice steady. “It’s okay. You’ll learn to control it. Just stay with us.” My hand brushed against his shoulder, a fleeting gesture meant to offer comfort, and I noticed he flinched less than before.

Kaelen’s jaw tightened, determination flashing in his eyes. “I will. I want to help. I’ve been training alone for years, hiding… surviving. I won’t let you down.” There was a fire in his gaze, raw and unrefined, igniting something deep within me.

From the shadows, Rafe hissed, his voice dripping with disdain. “You think bringing him out here will save you? It won’t.”

Dark tendrils rippled behind him, stretching like a sinister tide toward our circle, twisting and curling in unnatural ways.

Dennis stepped forward, positioning himself between the pack and the encroaching shadows. “Not this time, Rafe. You’ve been warned.” His stance was rigid, every muscle coiled, ready to spring into action.

I felt the Eclipse pulse within me, responding to Kaelen, the pack, the relics. Taking a deep breath, I declared, “We hold the power together. Kaelen, you’re with me. Don’t back down.”

Kaelen nodded again, his hands trembling slightly as he aligned himself with the relics. When our energies intertwined, I felt the bloodline hum in a way that was both exhilarating and unexpected. His power, though weaker, acted as an anchor, stabilizing the tempest within me.

Eryx’s voice sliced through the tension like a blade. “Good. Now focus. The Eclipse feeds on fear. Show it none.”

The relics pulsed brighter, the air shimmering with energy. I felt the heartbeat of the pack, the rhythm of Kaelen’s presence, the energy of the Eclipse flowing outward. Even Rafe flinched, sensing the strength coalescing around us.

Asher leaned in, pressing his forehead to mine. “Stay present. Don’t let your thoughts wander.”

I nodded, grounding myself in the bloodline energy. With Kaelen beside me, Asher at my side, Eryx guiding us, and Gage and the pack forming a living shield, we became a cohesive unit. Every pulse of the Eclipse responded to our collective strength, harmonizing with our resolve.

Rafe roared, unleashing a tendril of shadows toward our circle. I reacted instinctively, conjuring a shield of light that surged forward. It struck and shattered, but another flickered behind it. Kaelen mirrored my movements, his instincts kicking in, and together, we shattered the shadow completely.

Eryx added his energy to the circle, guiding the relics with precision. “This is it. The full bond. The bloodline at its peak. Push them back… now!”

I let the Eclipse flow freely, channeling it through Kaelen, Asher, Gage, Arlo, and the relics. The power surged outward, sweeping the shadows away. Rafe hissed and recoiled, the forest trembling under the sheer force of our unity.

For the first time, I felt the bond settle fully. Kaelen’s presence, though not dominant, anchored part of the Eclipse in a way I had not anticipated. My father’s pride, the pack’s unwavering loyalty, Asher’s calm strength… it all converged in that moment.

Rafe twisted, trying to regroup. “The Eclipse will destroy you all!”

I raised my hand, my voice firm and resolute. “It won’t destroy us. Not while we control it. Not while we stand together.”

The shadows screamed, but we held our ground. The relics pulsed with energy, Kaelen steady beside me, and the pack braced for whatever was to come.

Eryx’s eyes were sharp, filled with an urgency that sent a shiver down my spine. “This is only the beginning. Kaelen survived. He carries the bloodline. But the Eclipse is aware now, stronger than before. You must train, all of you. Tomorrow… it will test us again.”

I glanced at Kaelen, determination igniting within me. “We’re ready.”

Asher pressed his forehead to mine once more. “We’re ready.”

Rafe melted into the shadows, but the air felt different, charged with an electricity that hinted at something ancient and hungry stirring in the depths of the forest.

I clenched my fists, resolve hardening within me. “Then let it come.”

Kaelen’s hand tightened around mine, a silent vow passing between us. The bloodline had survived. We had survived.

Yet I knew, deep down, that the real test—the one the Eclipse had been waiting for—was only just beginning.

The Eclipse trembled in the clearing, and the presence of Kaelen, my long-lost older brother, filled me with both hope and trepidation. But lurking in the shadows was something older, something far more ravenous than Rafe. And this time, it wasn’t just coming for me.

Conclusion

In the heart of the chaos, a profound sense of unity emerged, weaving together the threads of our fractured lives. Kaelen’s unexpected arrival had shattered the isolation I had long felt, filling the void with a connection that transcended years of absence and misunderstanding.

We were no longer alone in our struggles; together, we were a force against the darkness that sought to consume us.

Yet, as the echoes of our triumph reverberated through the clearing, a quiet apprehension lingered in the air. The Eclipse, an ancient entity awakened by our bond, loomed ominously, a reminder that our trials were far from over. Kaelen, now an integral part of our fight, embodied both the hope of familial connection and the weight of responsibility. The journey ahead would demand more than just courage; it would require us to confront the shadows within ourselves and the relentless darkness outside. As I clasped Kaelen’s hand, a silent promise passed between us—a vow to face whatever came next together. With the pack at our side and the strength of our bloodline coursing through us, we stood ready to meet the challenges ahead, knowing that the true test of our resilience was yet to unfold.
