"Blood rain? I've never heard of it." Amaris said, confused.
"It is one of the original powers possessed by the vampires. It's an ability that allows someone to control blood and use it as a weapon. The blood will form as daggers into the air and drop it like rain. It's forbidden because the blood rain will hit all creatures with blood, so if Damien used it, everyone in here would get hurt." Cole explained.
Amaris' eyes widened. She didn't expect that Damien would use something like that to win. She glanced at Zion and saw him calmly staring at Damien.
She turned her gaze to the field again and watched if Damien would really use that power.
Damien had no choice. He was desperate to win so Amaris would let him join them. He wanted to see his sister, and he would not waste this chance to look for her.
Zion knew that Damien was serious about the duel. He could see in the vampire's eyes the determination to win. He couldn't blame him since Diana was like a mother to Damien.
As Damien raised his hand, the blood flowed into the air and formed like daggers. Maxine and Grakar didn't feel any fear towards Damien's power.
Maxine read about the blood rain before, and Grakar also knew about it.
The two positioned themselves to attack Damien and dodge every drop of his blood rain. When Damien put down his hand, the blood started dropping one by one.
But to everyone's surprise, Damien's blood rain was blocked by a huge red shield. Amaris frowned, and when she turned to Zion, he wasn't there. She saw her Alpha walking towards the training field half-naked.
She was confused. She wanted to see what was happening so she followed Zion who was now standing in the middle between her protrea and Damien.
When she got closer, Amaris stood beside Zion and glanced at him. She was stunned when his eyes were both red. Then she noticed that his dangling earring wasn't there.
"Blood field. I didn't know you could also control blood." Damien said while staring at Zion.
"I didn't know I needed to use it. You know it's forbidden to use that, Damien. I know you're desperate but your decision will put everyone here in danger. You are in my territory and according to Elysian law, an act that could impose harm to others is punishable by death." Zion said in a serious tone.
Amaris couldn't understand, but she knew that harming other creatures was extremely forbidden, whatever position you held in Terra.
Damien sighed. His eyes turned back to normal, and in surrender, kneeled on the ground.
Amaris gazed at the red field in the air. She noticed that it was really blood. Then she looked at Zion again from head to toe and saw that blood was dripping from his wrist.
"Alpha!" She called while grabbing his hand.
Zion smiled at her, and the red field slowly disappeared. When she looked at his wound, it was already healed.
"The duel is over. Take him." Zion ordered.
Damien was taken into Zion's office. He was confused by the look on his face.
"Care to tell me what that was?" Amaris asked Zion.
He sighed. "If the vampires have forbidden power, the werewolves have it too. Both species could manipulate blood. Damien has blood rain, while I have blood field."
"But the blood field is more powerful than blood rain since it can both kill and protect all creatures who have blood. Mine was a destructive power, unlike yours." Damien commented.
Zion looked at him, then turned to Amaris.
"Love, can we reconsider your decision? I've known Damien for a long time and all he wanted was to look for his sister." Zion whispered.
Damien was listening to them, hoping that Amaris would agree with Zion. If she doesn't, Zion will definitely respect his Luna's decision.
Amaris glanced at Damien while the latter waited for her answer.
"I wanted to see what help you could offer, but I didn't expect that you would decide to use a powerful ability to impress me. I don't need someone like that. I wouldn't be impressed if anyone in the pack would get hurt. However, I understand you did it for your sister, so I will allow you to join us to look for the remaining protrea. I just want to warn you, if anything like this will happen again, I will not hesitate to kill you. So I advise you to think of your decision next time." Amaris answered.
Damien felt so relieved and happy that the Alpha and Luna gave him a chance, and apologized for what he did. He promised that he would do everything to help them.
The team is now complete. With the Alpha and Luna of the pack, together with the two protrea, Maxine and Grakar, the betas, Cole and Zoila, and the vampire Damien, will start their journey to look for Amaris' remaining protrea.
"Who would guard the pack if you, Cole, and Zoila would come with me?" Amaris asked Zion while in their bedroom packing their things.
"Xavier and the other warriors will be here. Don't worry, they'll be fine." Zion said to reassure her.
For some reason, she felt like something would happen, but she couldn't figure out if it would happen in the werewolf territory or their journey.
Amaris looked at their bedroom, smelling the mixture of their scent that lingered in the room. She wasn't sure when they would return, but she hoped that everyone in here would be safe until then.
"Do you need a horse, my Luna?" Zion asked with a wide grin on his face.
"Why would I need one if I could transform into one? I'll just ride with you or would you like to ride on me instead?" She winked, giving him a playful smile.
Zion grabbed her waist, carrying her on the black stallion. Then he rode on it while Amaris was sitting in front of him.
"Let's go to the Fae territory." Zion hailed.
On the morning of the twenty-second day of Zukum, the year 2035, the Alpha and Luna of the Blue Moon Pack started to embark on their journey to find the guardians.
