BLOODMOON

Chapter Nine:Blood Secrets and Midnight Pacts

After the Lupus Daemonium had shared the vital information, Sahil, his expression cold and resolute, delivered a final sentence. He slashed his claws across the captive's throat in one swift motion, silencing him forever.

The room fell into a somber silence, the pack members understanding the necessity of the act. The information was crucial, but the danger was far from over.

Hussain, a trusted member of the pack, stepped forward. "We've learned what we needed, and now I have to go. My family has knowledge about the artifact the Lupus Daemonium mentioned. I must reach Edmonton and speak to them before it's too late."

Arvan nodded in agreement. "Go, Hussain. We'll take care of things here and continue the preparations. You're the best choice for this mission."

Hussain's eyes conveyed his gratitude and determination. "I'll do my best, Arvan. I'll bring back any information that can help us stop the Lupus Daemonium's plans."

With that, Hussain departed, leaving the pack to their tasks. Arvan and the others knew that the stakes were higher than ever, and they needed to act swiftly to locate the artifact and prevent the world from descending into eternal darkness.As they set their plans in motion and gathered their resources, the pack understood that they were on the brink of their greatest challenge yet. They were determined to protect both their kind and the human world from the impending catastrophe, no matter the cost.

After Hussain's departure for Edmonton, Sahil engaged in a conversation with Arvan, their voices hushed but filled with resolve. Sahil began, "Arvan, we need allies for this fight. The Lupus Daemonium's plan is far-reaching, and it's clear we can't face them alone."

Arvan nodded, his expression serious. "I agree, Sahil. We'll need all the support we can gather."

Sahil leaned in, his voice a mere whisper. "I have a contact, a Lycan informant in Quebec. They have connections to the Indian Lycans, the Weretigers, and the Nāgas. If we can bring them into the fight, our chances of success will increase significantly."

Arvan's eyes brightened at the prospect of expanding their alliance. "That's a great idea, Sahil. Reach out to your informant and begin negotiations. We need all the help we can get."

Sahil nodded with determination, grateful for Arvan's support. "I'll start immediately. We have a fight ahead of us, and we need to gather our forces."
As Sahil prepared to reach out to potential allies, he knew that the coming battle would be one of the most challenging their pack had ever faced. But he was determined to do whatever it took to protect their kind and the world from the impending darkness. Their journey to gather allies had begun, and it was a path they would walk with conviction and unity.

As Sahil left the room to make the call to his informant, Lydia couldn't help but notice a globe sitting on Arvan's TV stand. With a sense of purpose, she picked it up and placed it on the coffee table in the center of the room.

The pack members gathered around the globe, their eyes focused on the intricacies of the continents. It was a symbolic representation of the world they were fighting to protect.

Lydia turned to Arvan and began to speculate. "The Lupus Daemonium mentioned a sacred artifact and a gateway to the underworld. We need to figure out where in the world this artifact could be located."

Arvan nodded, his mind racing. "They're planning something on a global scale, and we need to think like they do. The gateway to the underworld may have a connection to ancient and powerful sites."

Kim spoke up. "Could it be hidden in a remote and sacred location? Somewhere few would venture."

Seklani added, "Or it might be connected to an ancient civilization, a place of historical significance."

The pack members continued to brainstorm and speculate about possible locations for the artifact, drawing from their combined knowledge and experiences. They knew that finding the artifact was paramount to stopping the Lupus Daemonium's plan to plunge the world into darkness.
As they examined the globe and pondered the possibilities, they understood that their mission had just become even more complex. The artifact's location was a mystery waiting to be unraveled, and the fate of the world rested on their ability to decipher its secrets.

Moments later, Sahil returned to the room, a sense of urgency in his step. He didn't waste any time and went straight to Arvan, his voice filled with determination. "I spoke to my informant, and they say we need to meet tonight. Club Utopia is where we'll get the information we need."

Arvan nodded, appreciating Sahil's efficiency. "Good work, Sahil. Club Utopia it is. Let's gather the pack, and we'll make our way there."

As the pack members prepared for the upcoming meeting, the room buzzed with anticipation. The information Sahil had obtained might be the key to unraveling the Lupus Daemonium's plan and locating the sacred artifact. With a renewed sense of purpose, they knew that tonight could be a turning point in their battle against the impending darkness.

The pack stood united, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, as they embarked on a journey to Club Utopia, where answers and allies awaited.
