**The Day He Forgot He Hated Me by Evangeline Marrow**
The world had shifted irrevocably after that fateful night.
The forest outside was wrapped in an unsettling silence, a stillness that felt anything but tranquil. It was as if the very trees were holding their breath, anticipating some impending event. The air was thick, almost suffocating, charged with an energy that buzzed beneath my skin like a thousand tiny electric shocks. Even the moon, usually a comforting beacon in the night sky, appeared altered, its silvery glow pulsing faintly, as though it were a living entity with a heartbeat of its own.
Sleep had eluded me completely. In fact, none of us had managed to find rest.
Eryx stood near the window of the packhouse meeting room, his gaze lost in the depths of the forest. Beside him, Kaelen and Kaelric were silent sentinels, their faces etched with worry and tension. Asher was close to me, his fingers gently intertwined with mine, his thumb tracing soothing circles against my skin, grounding me in the chaos of the moment.
Arlo had meticulously spread out maps and notes across the table, a chaotic array of information that felt heavy with foreboding. The relics lay there too, each one now dim and silent, their once vibrant energy seemingly drained. It was as if they had sacrificed their power to seal Rafe’s fate, only to awaken something far more sinister.
Finally, Eryx turned to face us, his expression grim. “It’s confirmed. The Original Eclipse has awakened. The connection between the relics is fading because the seal that once held it has been undone.”
Dennis, leaning against the doorway, frowned deeply. “What exactly is this Eclipse, Eryx? You’ve spoken of it as if it possesses a life of its own.”
Eryx’s eyes darkened, a shadow passing over his features. “Because it does.”
A heavy silence enveloped the room, thick with dread. The fire in the corner flickered low, casting uneasy shadows that danced across our faces, as if mirroring our anxiety.
Eryx stepped closer to the table, pointing at the faint energy line Arlo had sketched earlier. “Long before this pack came into existence, before many werewolf bloodlines even began, the power of the Eclipse was a living force…a blend of spirit and energy. It sought equilibrium between light and dark. But when that balance was shattered, it turned against everything.”
Kaelen leaned forward, his voice barely above a whisper. “And now it has awakened once more.”
Eryx nodded solemnly. “When Trinity sealed the shadows, the power within her forged a direct connection to the ancient seal. Her bloodline is intertwined with it…her mark embodies both light and darkness. That is the very essence that draws the Eclipse.”
A chill ran through me, twisting my stomach into knots. “You mean it’s drawn to me.”
“Yes.” Eryx’s voice was low, almost reverent. “You are the final link between both halves. The Eclipse is using that connection to return.”
The impact of his words struck me like a bucket of icy water. I could still feel it… that strange, pulsing sensation deep within my chest, the mark that burned fiercely whenever the moonlight touched it.
Part of me wanted to scream in terror, to lash out against this fate. Yet another part of me understood the truth: the shadows had never truly vanished. They had merely been biding their time, waiting for something powerful enough to draw them back.
Kaelric crossed his arms, frustration evident in his posture. “So what’s the plan? We can’t just sit here and wait for it to come crashing in and obliterate everything.”
Eryx’s gaze flicked between Kaelric and me, his determination unwavering. “We prepare. We harness the bond you all share…that connection is our only weapon now. But Trinity must learn to control the Eclipse energy without allowing it to consume her.”
Arlo frowned deeply. “That sounds like trying to hold fire with bare hands.”
“Precisely.” Eryx affirmed. “And if she loses control, it won’t just incinerate her. It will engulf all of us.”
Asher’s grip on my hand tightened, his presence a solid anchor amidst the rising tide of fear. “Then we ensure that doesn’t happen.”
Eryx nodded, a glimmer of resolve in his eyes. “Training begins at dawn.”
The next morning, the air was so cold it stung my lungs with every breath. The clearing behind the packhouse appeared deceptively serene, frost sparkling like diamonds on the grass. Yet, this calm was merely an illusion.
Eryx initiated our training with energy tests, small pulses of light meant to gauge how my mark reacted. At first, I managed to maintain control, the glow steady and balanced. But as the exercises progressed, something deep within me began to stir.
It wasn’t anger or fear; it was something deeper, more primal—like another heartbeat, one that didn’t belong to me. A slow, rhythmic thrum that ached to break free.
“Again,” Eryx commanded, his tone sharp and unwavering. “Focus on control, not strength.”
I complied, pouring my concentration into the task. The light radiated from my chest, flowing through my arms, bright and alive. The air shimmered around me. Kaelen and Kaelric moved in closer, their energy merging with mine, anchoring me like steadfast pillars in a tempest. Frost melted beneath our feet.
For a fleeting moment, everything aligned perfectly… until a sudden surge of heat ripped through me.
I gasped, stumbling back as the light flared too brightly, and the ground beneath me cracked open with a hissing sound. The acrid scent of burnt earth filled the air.
“Trinity!” Asher shouted, instinctively moving toward me, but Eryx raised a hand, halting him.
“Let her fight it!” Eryx barked. “She must learn!”
Pain seared through my chest, and I dropped to one knee, clutching the mark as it pulsed violently. My vision flickered, blue light bleeding into my sight. Whispers filled my ears—faint, familiar… as if the shadows were calling my name from deep within the earth. They sounded almost curious. Almost alive.
The Eclipse. It was reaching for me.
“No.” I hissed through clenched teeth. “You don’t get to take me.”
With sheer will, I forced the power inward, focusing every ounce of my being on the bond. I could feel Asher’s energy, warm and grounding, Kaelen’s calm steadiness, Kaelric’s sharp strength. Together, their powers intertwined with mine, forming a protective barrier.
Slowly, the light began to dim. The whispers faded into silence. The energy steadied.
When it was finally over, I was trembling, drenched in sweat.
Eryx knelt beside me, his expression softer now, a hint of pride in his eyes. “You did well. The Eclipse attempted to breach your defenses, but you held it back. That means we still have time.”
I met his gaze, searching for clarity. “Time for what?”
He hesitated, the weight of his words hanging in the air. “To stop it before the Eclipse becomes whole again.”
That night, the atmosphere in the packhouse was thick with tension.
No one spoke of it aloud, but the fear was palpable. The moonlight streaming through the windows flickered oddly, the shadows stretching and shifting as if they possessed minds of their own.
Kaelen and Kaelric sat near the fire, engaged in a hushed conversation with Eryx. I could catch snippets of their discussion—something about relic placements and energy seals.
Asher remained by my side, his hand resting gently on my knee. “Are you okay?” he asked, concern etched in his features.
I nodded slowly, though uncertainty gnawed at me. “I think so. Just… tired.”
He brushed his thumb over my hand, a soothing gesture. “We’ll get through this. Whatever it is, you’re not alone in it.”
I managed a faint smile, leaning into his warmth. “I know.”
But deep down, I could still feel the Eclipse lurking within me, like a predator waiting for the slightest moment of weakness.
A few minutes later, Arlo entered the room, clutching one of his notebooks. “I’ve been studying the relics,” he said hurriedly. “They’re still reacting to Trinity’s energy, even after Rafe’s death. It’s almost as if they’re… warning us.”
Eryx turned his attention to him. “What do you mean?”
Arlo flipped to a page filled with runes. “When I placed them around the perimeter, the energy lines curved toward her, not away. This means whatever is approaching is not just drawn to the Eclipse; it’s specifically drawn to her.”
The silence that followed was heavy, laden with dread.
Kaelric broke the tension first. “So basically, she’s the beacon.”
Eryx nodded slowly, the gravity of the situation settling over us. “Yes. And when the Eclipse reaches its peak, everything that remains of the original power will converge here. Every creature tied to it. Every force it has ever touched.”
Asher’s jaw tightened, determination flashing in his eyes. “Then we’ll be ready. We’ve already faced the shadows before.”
Eryx looked at him grimly, his expression somber. “You fought their fragments, Asher. This time, you’ll be confronting the source.”
A chill swept through the room, a collective shiver of apprehension.
Kaelen stood up, his expression resolute. “Then we train harder. We must ensure that when it comes, it finds us prepared.”
Eryx gave a faint nod of approval. “Good. Because when the Eclipse begins, there will be no second chances.”
I gazed out the window, my heart racing. The moon was half obscured by a faint, glowing shadow, like a veil descending across its face. This was the first sign. The beginning of the end.
Something deep within me stirred again, restless and alive.
And as the wind whispered through the trees outside, I heard it—a voice that wasn’t mine.
Soon.
Conclusion
In the quiet aftermath of our training, a fragile sense of hope began to weave its way through the heavy atmosphere that had settled over us. Despite the looming threat of the Eclipse, I felt a newfound strength within me, a burgeoning connection to my pack that transcended fear. Asher’s unwavering support anchored me, reminding me that I was not alone in this battle. The shadows that had once felt suffocating now seemed to pulse with potential, a dark energy that could either consume or empower. With each passing moment, I understood that the mark I bore was not merely a curse, but a bridge—a conduit of ancient power that we could harness together. We had a chance to reclaim the balance that had been shattered, to confront the Eclipse not as individuals, but as a united front.
Yet, the weight of my destiny loomed large, a constant reminder of the darkness that awaited us. The whispers of the Eclipse grew louder, echoing in my mind, urging me to succumb to its call. But as I stood with my pack, I felt the flicker of determination igniting within me. We would prepare, we would train, and we would fight—not just for our survival, but for the very essence of who we were. The night was still thick with uncertainty, but as I looked into the faces of my friends and family, I knew we would face whatever came next together. The day may have begun with fear, but it would end with resolve, and as long as we stood united, we would not let the darkness win.
