In the midst of the subtle chaos that had ensued with Freya and Lucille groaning in pain, Nathan stood with an air of solemnity in the large living room. His gaze was fixed on his two daughters, who were slithering on the floor like frustrated, pained, snakes. Beside them were their mates.
“Kane!”
Kane turned sharply to his Prince, his attention divided between his almost wailing mate, and his stern Prince.
“Take Lucille outside. She is about to shift. She would need the calmness of the forest air.”
Kane, without the slightest hesitation, obeyed. He carried Lucille in his arms, and hurried out of the room, without turning aside to notice the positions of the others. However, Shane and Clem followed after him, including Dobah, to offer protection incase of unpredictable circumstances.
“Peter, are there rooms which we can use to work for healing magic?”
Peter nodded, eager to be useful in this situation.
“Then, take Eva to one of the rooms. Margo, and Keturah, you go with him. We might as well kill three birds at the same time. They will work on exorcizing the demon, or whatever that is troubling her, from her. Yodah, you can join them.”
There was a knowing in the eyes of Nathan, and Yodah knew that the Prince knew that the little one was his mate.
He nodded to Nathan, and then hurried after Margo and Keturah who were already leaving the living room with Peter and Anthony.
“Melvina, you will lead Aiden to the next room. There, we will see what is happening with Freya.”
Aiden, already, was carrying Freya in his arms, and with the instruction going forth, he walked up to Melvina, who had turned aside to the second hallway.
Blenda watched the flurry of activities whilst sitting down. Her state didn’t permit to move as speedily as the supernaturals in front of her. Very soon, she might be left alone here.
A crimp appeared on her forehead, when she noticed Jan and Claire walking toward her. Maya had since left with the group that was tasked with overseeing Freya’s shift, or was it an upgrade? Blenda wasn’t sure. Time will tell.
“Sorry, to disturb you…” Jan mentioned it as a form of greeting. “But since we weren’t really included in anything, we just thought that we would sit by you.”
“That’s alright.” Blenda surmised, not finding it necessary to add that Nathan hadn’t really assigned roles to anyone, apart from the core people needed. The others had just fallen into place because of their zeal to help. She understood that the two were still coming to terms with being unaccepted.

In the tranquil confines of the particular room that Melvina had chosen, Freya, guarded by her lifemate and his twin, underwent a transformation that would forever alter the course of her ancient and magical prowess.
As she delved deep into the currents of her power, a tempest brewed, engulfing her form in a swirling cocoon of mystic blue and golden energy.
Aiden, heart clenched with apprehension, stood watch, his unwavering gaze fixed upon her as she writhed within the protective confines of her own magic.
In the ethereal dance of light and shadow, Freya’s essence pulsated with an otherworldly intensity. From the depths of her being, a tattoo materialized-a fragment of a greater whole, its shape like a slice of pizza, etched in arcane symbols beyond mortal comprehension, beyond Aiden’s comprehension.
The tattoo started from her left shoulder(the pointed part of the slice) and cascading down her back. It glimmered and shone stark blue in the dimly lit room.
As the tattoo unfurled, its intricate design seemed to resonate with the very essence of Freya’s being, intertwining her destiny with the mysteries of the cosmos.
Aiden, unable to decipher the enigmatic symbols, could only watch in awe and wonder at the magnitude of her transformation.
Through the ebb and flow of her magic, Freya emerged from her cocoon reborn, her essence now suffused with newfound power and purpose.

In the heart of the BlueMoon’s forest, Luculle, adorned in the cloak of twilight, stood poised at the precipice of transformation. Kane, a silent sentinel by her side, watched with bated breath as she surrendered herself to the primal forces that coursed through her veins.
As the moon cast its silvery glow upon the enchanted glade, Luculle’s form began to tremble, the very fabric of her being rippling with the latent power waiting to be unleashed. With a primal roar that echoed through the stillness of the night, she surrendered to the metamorphosis that beckoned her from within.
Beneath the shroud of darkness, bones twisted and sinews stretched, contorting in a symphony of agony and pain. Luculle’s human guise dissolved with it, replaced by the majestic form of a mighty white wolf. Fur as pure as the driven snow enveloped her frame, her gray eyes, speckled with gold, gleaming with a fierce intelligence that belied her lupine nature.
Kane, his heart a tumult of emotions, beheld the spectacle before him with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The sight of Luculle’s transformation, though familiar, never failed to evoke a sense of wonder tinged with a primal fear of the unknown. His mate would be highly sought after. He had a battle on his hands.
Yet amidst the chaos of her shifting form, a sudden glimmer caught his eye-a tattoo, emblazoned upon her shoulder and cascading down her back like a fragment torn from a gigantic pizza. The single slice of a pizza was buttered with mysterious symbols that adorned its edges.
Try as he might, Kane could not decipher its meaning. Its significance was shrouded in mystery.
As Luculle’s metamorphosis reached its zenith, a primal howl shattered the stillness of the night, reverberating through the ancient forest like a clarion call to the wild. In that moment, she was not merely Luculle, but a manifestation of the untamed essence that bound her to the wilderness-a creature of raw instinct and boundless power, her spirit forever entwined with the primal pulse of the forest.

In the dimly lit room, Margo and Keturah stood, their faces etched with determination as they prepared to perform the ancient ritual to rid Eva of the demon that had taken possession of her. Around them, the air hummed with the resonance of centuries-old incantations, their words weaving a tapestry of power that shimmered in the flickering candlelight.
With practiced precision, Margo and Keturah began the ritual, their movements fluid and purposeful as they invoked the forces of light to banish the darkness that had ensnared Eva’s soul. With each incantation, the room seemed to thrum with an otherworldly energy, the very air crackling with the promise of salvation.
As the ritual neared its climax, a palpable tension hung in the air, the weight of their collective will pressing down upon them like a leaden mantle. Then, in a sudden burst of light, Eva convulsed, her body wracked with spasms as the spying bug fought to maintain its hold.
But Margo and Keturah pressed on, their resolve unyielding as they poured every ounce of their being into the ritual. And then, as if by some divine intervention, a small, insect-like creature emerged from Eva’s arm, its twisted form writhing in agony before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.
Melvina and Yodah sighed in relief. It was done.
