The Omega Mated To The Four

The Alpha Bond 87

Chapter Eighty Seven

That night, exhaustion pressed down on me like a weight, yet sleep refused to come. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind replaying Eira's words over and

over.

"The keystone will give them power so immense they will be able to eradicate the Children of the Eclipse and all Umbrakin for good. And they will be able to banish the Shadow Weaver forever. Bu doing so will come at great cost. Unlocking the Moon Keystone may even break your core."

I clenched my fists, my heart pounding.

"You mean Stormi could lose her wolf?" Elijah had asked.

"Yes," Eira had said. "Or worse."

Or worse.

The implication was clear. Death.

I turned onto my side, my fingers brushing Mariah's necklace hanging from my neck-the moon's blessing, as Eira had once called it. It was what my bloodline had received from the Moon Goddess herself. But now, it felt like a curse.

The keystone had always been our best hope of defeating the Children of the Eclipse, but I hadn't realized the full cost until now. If used it to destroy the Shadow Weaver, I would lose Skye, my wolf, my bond with my mates-or worse, my life.

"A world without the Shadow Weaver would be a perfect world."

My wolf stirred inside me, her presence strong yet uncertain.

A perfect world, but at what cost?

I didn't know how to answer her.

A soft knock at my door made me sit up. The door creaked open, and my mates entered, their faces shadowed with concern.

Elijah was the first to speak. "Stormi, we need to talk."

Isaiah shut the door behind them. "You've been quiet since Eira told us about the keystone."
