"In a world where werewolves are hunted, Emilia Grey discovers she's the last heir of the ancient Silvermist bloodline. As she uncovers her true identity, she's thrust into a treacherous landscape of ancient secrets and deadly rivalries. With Lycaon, the Lunar Guard's enigmatic leader and forbidden love, by her side, Emilia must confront the darkness within herself, unleash her hidden powers, and claim her destiny to defy the ruthless Order that seeks to destroy her kind."
Emilia crouched on the edge of the crumbling warehouse roof, her sharp eyes scanning the jagged skyline of the city below. The cold breeze whipped through her hair, but she barely noticed, her focus locked on the shadows shifting between the rooftops. Her rifle rested on her shoulder, its sleek frame feeling like an extension of her arm after so many years of training. The hunt was her life now.
Her earpiece crackled to life, Ryker's gruff voice coming through. "East side. We've got movement."
Emilia's heart raced as she pivoted, peering through the scope. A figure emerged, gliding through the darkness with unnatural grace. Too fast for a human. Too silent for anything natural.
"I've got it," she whispered, finger tightening on the trigger.
"Careful, kiddo," Ryker added, his voice steady, "that's a Type-3 Vampire. Nasty one."
"I know," she muttered under her breath, tracking the target's path. The vampire paused briefly, and Emilia fired. The shot rang out in the night air, followed by a faint thud. The creature crumpled to the ground, dissolving into ashes before it even hit the pavement.
"Clean shot," Ryker said with a hint of approval. "You're clear for extraction."
Emilia didn't need the praise, but it felt good to hear it anyway. She holstered her rifle and descended from the rooftop with ease, her boots crunching softly on the gravel. Inside the warehouse, Ryker was waiting for her, leaning against a rusted beam with his arms crossed.
"Not bad for a night's work," he said, offering a grin. "You're getting quicker."
"Had a good teacher," Emilia replied, though she kept her expression neutral. She didn't like showing too much emotion around Ryker. He was tough, and he expected her to be the same.
As they exited the building, Emilia's phone buzzed in her pocket. She frowned, pulling it out. Unknown number.
"Emilia Grey," a low, gravelly voice said, "you are the last living heir of the Silvermist bloodline."
Her heart stopped. "Who is this?"
The voice continued, unfazed by her sharp tone. "Meet me at the old clock tower at midnight. Alone."
The line went dead.
Emilia stared at the screen, her mind racing. The Silvermist bloodline? She had never heard of it. And why did this stranger sound so sure she was a part of it?
"Everything okay?" Ryker's voice cut through her thoughts. He was watching her closely, his casual demeanor replaced by concern.
"Just a weird call," Emilia said, trying to brush it off. "Probably a prank."
Ryker's eyes narrowed, his instincts sharp. "Be careful. Weird calls don't come without consequences in our line of work."
She nodded, pocketing the phone, but her mind was far from at ease. The name "Silvermist" echoed in her thoughts, unsettling her in a way that no hunt ever had. She couldn't just let it go.
Back at the hunter's headquarters, the bustling energy of the other hunters preparing for the night's missions didn't distract Emilia. She sat at her desk, her fingers typing quickly into the encrypted hunter database. Silvermist Bloodline.
Nothing. The name didn't show up in any of their records. No hunter families, no notable figures. It was like it didn't exist.
She turned to Ryker, who was reviewing footage from their latest mission. "Have you ever heard of the Silvermist bloodline?"
Ryker froze, his eyes shifting to hers. "Why do you ask?"
"Just came across it," Emilia said, trying to sound nonchalant. But Ryker wasn't buying it.
"That's an old one," he said quietly. "Ancient, even. Thought to be extinct."
"What do you mean?" Emilia's curiosity spiked.
Ryker leaned back in his chair, his expression darkening. "The Silvermist bloodline was werewolf royalty. One of the oldest and most powerful families in the supernatural world. But they were wiped out decades ago. At least, that's what we were told."
"Werewolves?" Emilia's voice wavered, and Ryker caught it.
"You've never faced one, have you?" he asked, his voice low.
She shook her head. Vampires, witches, demons-yes. But werewolves? They were rare. Too rare.
As midnight approached, Emilia's nerves were on edge. She had trained her whole life to be a hunter, but nothing had prepared her for the possibility that she might be part of something... else. Something supernatural.
She arrived at the clock tower just before midnight, the wind howling through the rusted metal beams like a warning. Her senses were heightened, every shadow, every whisper in the wind putting her on guard. She tightened her grip on her gun as a figure stepped out of the darkness.
"Welcome, Emilia Grey," the man said, his voice the same gravelly tone from the phone call. He was tall, imposing, with eyes that gleamed in the moonlight.
"Who are you?" Emilia demanded, raising her gun.
The man didn't flinch. "My name is Lycaon. And you, Emilia, are the last heir of the Silvermist bloodline."
Emilia's heart pounded in her chest. "What are you talking about? I'm a hunter. I kill things like you."
Lycaon chuckled, a sound that sent chills down her spine. "You are much more than a hunter, Emilia. You are the key to an ancient legacy, a power that has been lying dormant within you. And it is time for you to claim it."
She shook her head, backing away. "I don't believe you."
"You will," Lycaon said softly, stepping closer. He reached into his coat and pulled out a small, intricately carved box. "This contains your inheritance. Open it when you're ready to accept your destiny."
Emilia stared at the box, her mind reeling. Every instinct told her to shoot him, to walk away, to forget this conversation ever happened. But something stopped her. A pull, deep inside her, something she couldn't explain.
Lycaon smiled, as if he knew what she was feeling. "Your world is about to change, Emilia. Whether you want it to or not."
Before she could respond, Lycaon melted back into the shadows, disappearing as quickly as he had come. Emilia was left standing alone, the box heavy in her hands.
She hesitated for a long moment before finally tucking the box into her jacket. As she made her way back through the empty streets, her thoughts were a tangled mess of fear, confusion, and a nagging sense of something larger at play.
Back in her apartment, she placed the box on the table, staring at it as if it might reveal its secrets on its own. But it stayed silent, the intricate carvings on its surface almost mocking her for hesitating.
Finally, she opened her laptop and began to research everything she could about Lycaon and the Silvermist bloodline. Hours passed, and her frustration grew. Nothing. There were no records, no clues, nothing that could explain what Lycaon had told her.
The phone buzzed again. It was Ryker. "Need to talk. Now."
Emilia's fingers brushed the box, and her mind raced. What had she gotten herself into?
