**The Day He Forgot He Hated Me**
Training had shifted once more, morphing into something more intense and demanding.
The atmosphere felt thick, laden with an unspoken tension that seeped deep into our bones since Eryx’s arrival. Each day, the pack pushed ourselves from the first light of dawn until the shadows of night enveloped us. Our movements were precise, infused with a sense of urgency. We weren’t merely preparing for another skirmish; we were on the brink of safeguarding something monumental—something that had the potential to unravel our very existence if we faltered.
Eryx stood at the periphery of the training ground, his dark cloak billowing gently in the breeze. His gaze was sharp yet tranquil, exuding a strength that didn’t require demonstration. It was palpable in the way he held himself, the silence that trailed in his wake, and the commanding weight of his stare.
“Asher,” he called out, his voice steady and unyielding. “You will lead the circle today. Trinity, your task is to observe the flow of energy among you all. You must connect with it before you can hope to control it.”
I nodded, wiping the sweat from my brow, feeling the heat of the sun on my skin. The four of us—Asher, Gage, Arlo, and I—formed the circle, just as Eryx had instructed.
Arlo’s anxiety was palpable, his brow furrowed as he adjusted to the realization that he possessed a power that had once filled him with dread. “What if it slips away again?” he queried, darting nervous glances between us.
Eryx stepped forward, the ground vibrating subtly beneath his presence. “Then you must reclaim it. You must not allow the power to dictate your actions. It is your command that it must heed, not the other way around.”
With a swift motion, he raised his hand, causing the earth to tremble softly beneath us. The crescent symbol etched into the ground glimmered with a faint silver hue—the mark of the Eclipse. It was both breathtaking and perilous, a reminder of the duality of our strength.
“Now,” Eryx instructed, “breathe deeply. Concentrate on the bond that connects you. Let it intertwine your souls.”
Not merely your thoughts, but your very essences.
Asher’s hand brushed against mine, and I felt his strength coursing through the bond—steady, warm, and reassuring. Gage’s energy flowed in next, controlled and formidable. Arlo’s energy, while shaky and uncertain, found its place within the circle, like a puzzle piece finally fitting into its rightful spot.
In that fleeting moment, everything clicked into place.
The light surrounding us deepened, shifting from silver to a brilliant white. I felt the energy surge through my veins—the Eclipse energy, wild and pulsating with life.
“Hold it,” Eryx commanded, his voice firm. “Do not let fear seep in.”
The air throbbed around us, resonating like a heartbeat. It was almost overwhelming. My hands trembled, and I could feel the ground cracking beneath my boots. Beside me, Arlo gasped, nearly severing the link, but Asher tightened his grip, anchoring us all together.
And then, silence enveloped us. The power settled, still radiant but now tranquil.
Eryx nodded, a flicker of pride illuminating his eyes. “Well done. You are learning at a pace I did not anticipate.”
I could hardly find my voice, my entire being buzzing with residual energy. “That… that felt so alive.”
“It is alive,” he replied simply. “That is precisely why it is so perilous. The Eclipse power is not merely energy; it possesses consciousness. It remembers those who wielded it before you. It recalls their choices, their suffering, their insatiable thirst for control.”
Arlo frowned, his confusion evident. “You mean… it has a mind of its own?”
“In a sense,” Eryx acknowledged. “It is neither good nor evil; it is a force that requires your command. If you hesitate, it will seize control.”
Asher narrowed his eyes, a realization dawning. “So that’s what led to the downfall of the Eclipse Pack?”
Eryx nodded quietly, his expression somber. “They lost their grip on it. They believed they could manipulate the power for their own benefit, and in the end, it consumed them.”
We stood in contemplative silence, the cool night breeze whispering across the field. The moon hung heavily above us—not quite full, but tantalizingly close.
“Rest,” Eryx finally instructed. “Tomorrow, we will push your limits further.”
That night, the energy continued to hum beneath my skin, refusing to subside.
I decided to take a walk, finding Eryx outside near the training grounds once again. This time, he wasn’t engaged in training; he was simply gazing up at the moon, lost in thought.
“She always loved this hour,” he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.
“Lupa?” I inquired, curiosity piquing.
He nodded, his gaze still fixed on the celestial body. “She claimed it was when the world felt most genuine. No deceptions, no distractions. Just raw truth.”
There was a weight in his voice—not quite regret, but something far more profound.
“Have you spoken to her since your return?” I dared to ask.
He let out a dry, humorless laugh. “Not in any meaningful way. She avoids me, and I can’t say I blame her. I left without a word. I convinced myself I was protecting her, but… the truth is, I was terrified. The Eclipse mark was shifting, and I didn’t want it to touch her.”
“She’s been distant since you came back,” I noted softly. “She doesn’t even train with us anymore.”
“She fears what runs through our blood,” he replied. “And she has every reason to be afraid.”
I studied him then, truly studied him. The lines etched into his face, the faint scars crisscrossing his hands, the fatigue that ran deeper than mere exhaustion.
“What aren’t you telling us?” I pressed, concern lacing my words.
Eryx hesitated, his gaze drifting toward the forest. “Some truths are better revealed than spoken. Soon, you will understand why I returned. Why it was imperative.”
The following morning, training commenced earlier than usual. Lupa stood once more at the edge of the field, her expression inscrutable. She never participated, yet her eyes tracked every movement we made.
Eryx’s voice cut through the wind. “Today, we will push further. Trinity, you will lead. You must harness their energy, direct it. Control emanates from you now.”
My stomach twisted with apprehension, but I nodded resolutely.
We formed the circle again. The mark beneath us shimmered faintly, then intensified. This time, as I drew the energy through, it responded immediately—eager, as though it had been waiting for me.
“Good,” Eryx affirmed. “Now, release only what is necessary. Do not allow it to feed on your emotions.”
The light thickened, the bond between us growing warmer and tighter. I could feel Asher steadying me, his voice resonating in my mind—calm and grounding. You’ve got this.
But then something peculiar occurred. The power didn’t merely circulate among us; it reached outward, as if it were seeking something beyond our circle.
Suddenly, Lupa stepped back, her voice sharp with urgency. “Eryx. Stop her.”
Eryx reacted swiftly, severing the connection with a single word. The light flickered out, leaving us gasping for breath.
I collapsed to my knees, my heart racing. “What… what just happened?”
Lupa’s complexion had drained of color. “That wasn’t just Eclipse power,” she whispered. “That was… something else.”
Eryx’s expression darkened. “It’s her bloodline.”
All eyes turned toward him, confusion and concern etched on our faces.
“My bloodline?” I echoed, bewildered.
Eryx glanced between me and Lupa, his voice dropping to a hushed tone. “There are truths your mother has yet to share with you—truths about the true origin of your power.”
Lupa flinched, her eyes wide with fear, guilt, and a myriad of conflicting emotions.
“Eryx, not now,” she murmured, her voice trembling.
The pack around us fell into a heavy silence, even the wind seemed to still.
Yet Eryx pressed on. “They deserve to know, Lupa. She deserves to know. The Eclipse bloodline wasn’t merely stolen—it was altered.”
Her eyes locked onto his, a silent plea coursing through them. “Please,” she whispered. “Don’t.”
“What do you mean?” I asked, my voice barely steady, a sense of dread creeping in.
Lupa turned toward me, tears glistening in her eyes. “Trinity… the Eclipse bloodline isn’t what you believe. The power you possess… it was never meant to exist in this world.”
Her words struck me like a bolt of lightning.
I stared at her, my chest tightening with a mix of confusion and fear. “What are you saying?”
Her answer came in a broken whisper, just before the wind howled through the clearing—dark and cold.
“Because your blood doesn’t belong to the living realm at all.”
Conclusion
In the aftermath of that revelation, the air hung heavy with the weight of unspoken truths and the tremors of a reality we had yet to fully grasp. The training ground, once a place of camaraderie and determination, transformed into a battleground of emotions as we stood at the precipice of understanding. Lupa’s confession echoed in my mind, a haunting reminder of the darkness that intertwined with the power we sought to control. The Eclipse bloodline, once a source of pride, now loomed over us like a specter, challenging our very identities. Asher’s grip on my hand tightened, grounding me as I wrestled with the implications of my lineage. The bond we had forged through our training felt fragile in the face of this new truth, yet it also ignited a flicker of resolve within me.
Eryx’s somber gaze shifted between Lupa and me, the weight of his unspoken fears pressing down on us all. The night had stripped away the illusions we clung to, revealing the raw essence of who we were and what we were meant to confront. In that moment, I understood that our journey was no longer just about harnessing power; it was about embracing the complexities of our existence and the choices that lay ahead. As the moon cast its silvery glow upon us, illuminating the path forward, I felt an unyielding determination rise within me. We were bound by more than blood; we were bound by purpose. Together, we would navigate this treacherous terrain, confronting the shadows of our past and the weight of our destinies, refusing to let fear dictate our actions.
