As the decades of my immortal life passed, I’ve strived to my goal of establishing a world where hybrids no longer hid in fear and decimating the weres. Meticulous planning came with great reward. As humans grow old, shrivel away, and die, I remained steadfast; using my abilities and faithfulness to my god to achieve my ultimate dream.

Now, that dream is turning into my reality.

The black waters churned and boiled like a witch’s cauldron, accepting the two visitors in its shadowy depths. Kiya has allowed her mind to bathe in the darkness and accepted it with no consequence. Trapped in a silent dome with her precious inner child, I can move forth with my plans to turn her into a powerful mistress of the night. Accepting their submission, a sheet of ice crackled over the water, reinforcing the resounding silence.

Glee escaped my lips in giggles. Then, laughter. Before I knew it, I was cackling in triumph. My Little Moon accepting her darkness is a gift for all my patience! Cold air gusted through my clothing but failed to dampen the happiness filling my veins. The struggle against the illusion of morality has ended.

The true story begins now.

Soon, I will taste the shed blood of the Zircon Moon mutts, relishing in the aroma of their demise.

A pathetic yet powerful howl echoed through the dark realm, rattling the foundation of the blighted trees. Artemis, trapped in her golden cage, mourns over the loss of her human. Unable to do a damn thing about it. Turning to the glittering prison, I shot a sweet smile at the white mutt, only to earn a snarl in return.

“You’ll pay for this!” She yelled, tears spilling from her disgusting blue eyes. “I swear to Selene, you’ll pay for what you’ve done to us!”

“Where is your stupid Goddess now?” I asked her, arching an eyebrow. “If Selene truly cared about her precious avatar, she’d will destiny and rescue you and Kiya from my clutches. But, as she abandoned me, she abandoned you. Still believe she is worthy of worship?”

Angry, the wolf slammed her body against the gilded bars. The cage rocked and rattled but didn’t budge. I have to admit, little Halima has quite the craftsmanship. Surely, this splendid prison is more than enough for Artemis–if it were up to me, I’d trap her in a cage of iron and rust.

“Keep fighting. It amuses me.”

“You think you’ve won, but evil will never win.” Artemis bellowed with faith. “You’ll reap what you sowed, Osiris. Karma is a bitch to deal with and she bites hard in the ass!”

“Big talk coming from a stupid dog. Karma is a misguided fool, picking favorites. The evilest humans on Earth evade her clutches, while those who accidently kill a bug suffer the worst consequences. I’m not afraid of
