I stood in Adalwolf's office by the corner, rubbing my eyes with the heels of my hands to try and shoo the sleep off.
I dropped my hands to my side before I looked around the room.
Us four shifters are present, along side with Oliver, Brandon, Harke, my father, the old Alpha and a few warriors of the Rage Wolf Pack.

Everyone looks like there're about to drop to sleep any second but Phoebe cleared her throat.
I turned my eyes over to my hest friend and watched her as she tried to gather the attentions of the sleepy shifters.
Not even half an hour after the entire pack house had fallen asleep, Phoebe and Brandon had barged in to our room and dragged us to Adalwolf's office.
I have to be honest and say that I was pissed at the two. I as safely tucked in my mates arms, dreaming of a time when things were so simple and they had snatched me from it.
I turned my eyes over to Adla and realized that he was wide awake, he and Alpha Light. They regarded the room with a glare and I could feel both of their auras radiating off of them.
"Everyone listen up." Adal called out in his Alpha tone, immediately forcing every tired sole in the office to wake up.

He glanced at me and gave me a secret plead as if to say sorry for rasing my voice at you.
Isn't he just the sweetest Alpha?
"Phoebe has found something." Brandon cuts in, stepping closer to his mate so everyone's attention would go to her. "It's important and I'm sure you'll want to hear what she wants to say."
His hands went up and he gently  touched her shoulder, a sweet yet also a possessive gesture.

Phoebe nodded her head.
"Umm... I think I finally figured it out. I've been reading the old books and I also managed to get my hands in an old witch book." Phoebe started.
"Where did you get the book?" Mr. Beam asked, narrowing his eyes at Phoebe.
"I contacted my coven. They were happy to send me one of my parents books." She relied before she continued with what she was saying. "I read through the book and the war between the Cursed Luna and the four shifters was clearly written."
Phoebe opened the book she was holding in her hands and placed it on Adal's desk, forcing us to step a bit closer.
Adal nodded at me to come over. I'd prefer standing up because I was very sleepy. But now that I was wide awake, I didn't mind sharing a seat with my mate.
Walking around the desk, I took Adal's hand and lowered myself on my lap. His arms immediately snaked around my waist. Some glanced at us but no one said anything at how close the two of us were. Either they didn't notice or they were pretending not to.
All except for Phoebe, of course.
My friend glanced at me for a mere second before she dropped her eyes back to the book but I'd already seen the look in her eyes. Details will be asked for later.
Everyone looked down and our eyes stayed glued to the papers as Phoebe started explaining everything.
"Here are the witches from my coven, the old one's at the time falling at the hands of the cursed Luna. After she took over her mates pack, she had sought out every magic she could find. That included the magic of the witches and the magic within each shifter."
I looked down at the papers and I could see a pale figure floating high in the air as a few witches were on their knees, casting their palms towards the white figure to try and control it with their power.
The looks on the kneeling witches were grave. Even though I was seeing the book upside down because I was at Adal's side and the rest were on the opposite side, I could still see the fear and confusion on their faces.
"The cursed Luna took their powers and left them weak and defenseless." Phoebe commented as she flipped the page to reveal another painting.
The new painting has a few of the witches from the previous painting were now standing between the four elements.
Water, Air, Fire and earth.
"When the Cursed Luna's power grew too strong, they reached out to the main shifters. The Right eyed wolf, The Feria Lions, The Air Dragons and the large bears.
Once the four shifters were organized, they each took fighters of their own and joined the hands to take the witched down once and for all."
Phoebe turned the page again and revealed the four shifters standing side by side in their beast forms.
My eyes flew up and at the very same time, Alpha Light, Diago and Mr. Beam looked up and pur eyes clashed.
That bond I've been feeling with these shifters once again pulled my eyes to them and understanding passed through our eyes as we listened to Phoebe continue.
The Cursed Luna was powerful and the fighters the four shifter took to war were each falling. In a final decision, the shifters called to the power of their beasts to combine the four elements and defeat the Cursed Luna, almost wiping out their own species."
The next page Phoebe revealed was one that showed the balance of the shifters back in place but without the four shifters.
The dragons, the Lions, the Right eyed wolves and the Large bears were said to have gone extinct... Until now.
"We already know all of this. What's knew?" Diago asked, causing Phoebe to flush.
"Well, if you were paying attention to detail, you would have seen the moon in each page. On the night the Cursed witch took power from the witches, it had been the blood moon. Through out the war presented on the pages between the Cursed Luna and the four shifters, the moon was blue except for the night they destroyed her."
I looked back at the pages as phoebe flipped through the pages again and h
Showed us the moons on each page.
"The Cursed Luna's power is the strongest on the blood moon but so is the four shifters powers. If The curse Luna is to attack, then she will do it three nights from tonight during the blood moon. If you four work together until then and grow your strength, then you might be able to kill her like the old four shifters did."
The room grew silent.
"The only question is, how would we destroy her without destroying ourselves?" Alpha Light asked, to which Phoebe nodded.
"The old four shifters didn't have an Alvina witch. But you four have. I can castle a spell to reverse the effects of the after math of the battle. I can promise that everyone will be safe but... I can't promise that for the four of you."
Everyone's eyes turned to the four of us. Everyone knew that this could once again be the end of the four shifters.
"No." Adalwolf and my father said at the same time.
"No?" I repeated.
"No." Adalwolf said again. "There has to be another way to do this without puting you four at risk. There is no way we're going to let history repeat itself."
"I understand your concerns but this is the only way, Alpha." Phoebe tried to reason with Adal but he shook his head.
"The blood moon, you said. Then we still have time to come up with something less risky. We have time to plan." He argued as he tightened his arm around my waist.
"Adal, we need to do this..." I tried to reason with him but he cuts me off.
"I said we are not doing this and that is final, Rori. I am not losing you again!"
The office fell in a deafening silence and everyone looked at Adal with understand.
The shifters shared a look and they agreed that it was best if they left the two of us to talk alone
When the room emptied out, I turned around, still on Adal's lap and tried to convince him but before a word could make it past my lips, he crashed his lips against mine, swallowing all the protest from slipping out.
