she breathed, tears filling her eyes.
“You had a vision,”
Sophie said, stepping toward her to try and calm her trembling body.
It wasn’t phrased as a question, but Eloise nodded.
“Please, sit down,”
Sophie told her, motioning for the couch.
“What did you see, Eloise?”
Drake asked, watching as Eloise struggled to sit on the couch beside Sophie.
“Many years ago, I had a prophet; do you remember this prophet?”
Drake had to think about it for a moment; Xander remembered the prophet. It remained in his head for years.
The strongest Volana in the world will be born from the product of true love and with her death, a vessel of pure evil will rise. Xander didn’t understand the prophet at the time, but it brought him fear. He had never met a Volana before, but according to most, they were dangerous. They held a lot of power; a power that nobody truly understood. If this vessel were to rise, it would be the downfall of the entire nation.
Alpha Drake had mentioned knowing a Volana and that they were still very good friends. He trusted this Volana with his life, which meant Xander trusted her as well.“The strongest Volana will be born from the product of true love,”
Xander recited out loud.
“Oh, right,”
Sophie said, nodding. “And something about the uprise and downfall, right?”
Eloise nodded gravely.
“Part of the prophet has already come true,”
she explained. “I’m afraid the other part will soon come true as well.”
“Explain what you mean,”
Drake said, narrowing his eyes at her.
“Darkness has been conjured, Alpha,”
she explained. “I saw darkness emerging from the ground and born from that darkness rises a vessel. A vessel created to be the strongest Volana to ever exist, born for evil.”
“How did darkness create this Vessel?”
Sophie was the one to ask.
Tears welled up in Eloise’s eyes again, giving them a glossy look.
“As my previous prophet stated, there is a Volana born from the product of true love; she is the strongest Volana to ever exist, born for good. For this Vessel to be created, darkness must use this Volana as a sacrifice. In other words, this Volana must die for this vessel to rise.”
Third Person POV
Xander watched as Alpha Drake’s face fell. Eloise had just explained that the strongest Volana, born for good, is to be sacrificed to create a vessel that will become the strongest Volana, born for evil.
“Selene…”
Drake whispered, looking at Sophie who returned the same worried look.
Eloise shook her head.
“No,”
she said, gaining their attention. “She looked like Selene… but she was much younger.”
Sophie gasped.
“Oh, goddess. It’s obvious. The Volana was born from the product of true love. She was born from Selene and Bastien.”
“Lila…”
Drake finished Sophie’s thought.
“Darkness is going to sacrifice Lila?”
Sophie asked, looking at Eloise who remained silent, but she met Sophie’s eyes, and she could see the sorrow behind Elois’s gaze. “We have to warn them.”
“I’ll get them on the phone,”
Drake said, standing to his feet. “We need to protect her.”
“No!”
Eloise said, jumping to her feet. “If darkness is already conjured, it can’t know our involvement. It will kill everyone you love; it will come to this pack and slaughter everybody.”
“What? How could a phone cause that?”
Drake asked, furrowing his brows together. “We can’t just do nothing.”
“Because darkness gets into your head. It reads your thoughts; not to mention it could hear the conversation. It’s everywhere. You can’t keep a secret from darkness. We know too much information as it is… if it finds out we are involved, it will kill us. All of us.”
“Then how do we send a warning to them? How do we fight it?”
“I saw in my vision Lila fighting before she was killed. War breaks loose. I couldn’t tell where we were, but I knew it was a battle between light and dark. Lila is there along with her allies. But she puts up a fair fight. She’s strong, even without her Volana powers. They dose her with so much wolfbane, that she doesn’t have the strength or abilities of her wolf. But she fights in her human form, and she’s good. But she’s not good enough. She fights a bit carelessly and it gets her killed. She needs to learn to fight the impossible,”
Eloise explained.
“Then I will call Alpha Bastien and Luna Selene and tell them they need to train her better,”
Drake said about to walk away, but Eloise grabbed his arm.
“They don’t know what kind of things she needs to train on, and they can’t know. If darkness suspects anything, it will kill them and then it will come here and kill us because we are the ones who warned them,”
Eloise explained, shaking her head.
“What if they are able to defeat it before it has that chance?”
Sophie asked, staring around at everyone’s pale faces.
“We can’t take that chance,”
Eloise said, shaking her head. “In my vision, I was in the form of darkness. It was chilling,”
Eloise shuddered. “It can see everything that goes on in that region. It seemed frustrating with some parts of it. There is a territory there made up of Volana wolves and it can’t enter their heads. I think those with Volana blood, darkness can’t get into their heads. But I also watched this vessel slaughtering them along with all other Volanas around the world. Including Selene. ”
“Okay, then we can warn Selene. She’s a Volana. If it can’t read her thoughts, then there’s no harm in her knowing—”
“We can’t risk connection. If it’s already been conjured, it will hear our conversation and trace it back to us,”
Eloise snapped, glaring at him. “Are you really going to risk your entire pack? Your family? Think of your young children, Alpha.”
Sophie snapped at look at Eloise. They had three gorgeous kids and Xander knew they wouldn’t do anything to risk their lives.
“We can’t just do nothing,”
Drake said, shaking his head in frustration. “Especially when we know this information.”
“There’s more…”
Eloise said, her voice shaky. “There’s going to be a dark curse. A curse that will make everybody, including Volanas, powerless. Darkness and whoever conjured it knows there’s going to be a fight to get Lila back, so they created a curse so powerful that it will make everybody powerless. They won’t be able to fight it.”
“How does it get defeated?”
Xander was the one to ask.
Eloise thought about it for a moment, trying to remember every detail of her vision.
“Light,”
she said, looking up at Xander. “Its weakness is light. But there needs to be enough of it to get rid of it completely. My vision had split into two. On one hand, Lila defeats it, but it doesn’t show me how. She defeats it and restores the nation. On the other hand, she dies and the nation falls once the vessel rises.”
“If we can’t warn them of this danger, what can we do?”
Drake asked loudly; Xander could feel his frustration. “It sounds like we are doomed regardless. If that vessel is created, we are all going to die.”
“Not necessarily. If the vessel is created, its main target is the other Volana wolves. It’ll want to be the only one to exist. Then, it will take control of the nation and rule it alongside darkness,”
Eloise explained. “It wants ultimate control.”
