Chapter 72: She did it...!

Author

Lilith didn’t wait for Hazel to move again.

Her heart ached, her claws trembled...but she couldn’t hold back anymore.

With a low growl, she lunged forward, her body shifting mid-air, half-wolf, half-witch, the pure essence of Crescent power wrapped around her like a second skin.

Hazel didn’t flinch.But Lilith struck first

She threw a glowing orb of silver energy, aimed at Hazel’s chest. Hazel dodged, barely, but Lilith was already behind her with a sharp kick that sent Hazel flying back against the stone wall. The force cracked the wall behind her.

Hazel groaned but stood up, brushing the dust off her shirt. "Okay... that actually hurt a little."

Lilith didn’t let her recover. She came at her again, this time using her claws. The two clashed hard...Hazel fought back, fast and wild, power bursting from her fingertips like sparks. She moved like someone possessed, her reflexes almost too sharp, too perfect.

But Lilith had the experience.

She didn’t just use Crescent strength..she used everything.

Her wolf snarled, biting through shadows. Her magic curled around Hazel like smoke. Every spell, every claw, every strike landed harder than the last.

Hazel hissed and fought back with brutal force, but the difference started to show.

Lilith was fighting for more than just pride.

She was fighting for her daughter’s soul.

They crashed into walls, shattered the floor beneath them, and sent shockwaves through the room. Power pulsed in violent waves. The air crackled.

And then—

With a final chant and a blinding beam of Crescent light, Lilith knocked Hazel off her feet.

She slammed into the ground, unmoving. Unconscious.

Mother knows best

Lilith stood over her, chest heaving, sweat dripping down her forehead. Her heart was breaking in her chest.

She had fought her daughter.

Her own daughter.

She dropped to her knees beside Hazel’s limp body and brushed her fingers gently through her dark hair.

Tears slid down her cheeks.

"I didn’t want this," she whispered, voice soft, breaking. "You forced me to. You left me no choice, Hazel."

She held her hand over Hazel’s chest and started gathering power again.

"I’m going to turn it on for you, even if you hate me for it. Your emotions... your pain... I’ll take it. I’ll help you carry it. I’ll be right here."

Lilith sniffled, resting her hand on Hazel’s forehead. NovelFire

"We’ll find your babies, I promise. We’ll awaken the Crescent bloodline again... and you, Hazel... you’ll be our first female Alpha."

There was a long silence.

And then... A weak voice muttered, "...Mother."

Lilith’s eyes snapped open. "Hazel?" she breathed.

Hazel’s eyes fluttered open, barely. She lifted a shaky hand and whispered, "Please... look up."

Lilith frowned, confused, but did as she was told....And froze.

Because there, just a few feet away... Hazel was sitting.

Comfortably...On a wooden chair that hadn’t been there a second ago.

One leg crossed over the other.

Her chin in her hand. A single tear drawn on her cheek in pure sarcasm.

"Oh my God," Hazel said in a dramatic tone, pretending to dab her fake tears with a scrap of fabric. "That was... emotional. I won’t lie."

Lilith’s mouth opened in shock.

"What...?"

Hazel uncrossed her legs slowly and stood. Her grin stretched wide. "So, tell me, Mom. We’re not the only ones of our kind? Crescents or... what do we even call ourselves again?"

She waved her hand casually. "Ugh. So many secrets. So many mysteries. But don’t worry, we’ll unpack that trauma after you turn it off."

Lilith’s head turned toward the Hazel she had just fought.

Still on the floor. Still unconscious....She blinked.

Wait... then realization hit her hard!

"That... that was a clone?" she whispered aloud. "I fought a clone?"

Hazel fake-gasped, pressing her hands to her chest. "Oh, wow. Took you long enough to figure it out. You really went all-out on her, huh? Must be exhausting beating your own daughter’s magical body double into the floor."

Lilith stood up slowly, her eyes narrowing. "You played me..."

Hazel smiled sweetly. "You taught me, remember? Mother knows best."

Lilith’s fists clenched, but her energy was drained. That fight had taken everything. View the correct content at NovelFire.

Hazel walked closer, her tone softening—not with kindness, but with quiet fury.

"I needed to see just how far you’d go, Lilith," she said. "And now I know. You’d kill for power. You’d kill me if I stood in the way. So I’m making it easy for you."

She leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper.

"You stay on your path. And I’ll stay on mine. But if you come between me and my children again... I won’t send a damn clone."

"Now you know what time it is!.." Hazel shrieked

"No..." Lilith gasped, her limbs trembling as her body was drawn toward Hazel against her will.

"Hazel, please," she begged. "Don’t do this. It’ll be bad. Caspian... Cayden..."

Her voice cracked as fear took over. "Please... someone... help me..."

Hazel leaned in close, her lips brushing her mother’s ear as she whispered softly—

"Turn. It. Off."

Lilith’s eyes widened... and then shut slowly. And with that, it was done.

Her breath slowed. Her body softened. The emotions she had clung to for decades the guilt, the grief, the love...all unraveled, drifting from her chest like smoke.

Emptiness filled the space where her heart had once screamed. Her body went slack.

And she collapsed.

Hazel gently released her, letting her fall to the floor, unconscious emotionless. But the silence didn’t last.

"HAZEL!"

The door burst open as Caspian charged into the room, eyes blazing with fury.

He ran straight to Lilith’s side and dropped to his knees, checking for her pulse.

He glared up at Hazel with pure rage. "What did you do to her?!"

Before Hazel could respond, another presence rushed in..Cayden, followed by Aurora.

"You wanna join her?" Hazel smirked, laughter curling around her words. "I can make it quick."

Cayden growled, his jaw tight, dark veins pulsing along his neck and arms. "I’m done with your twisted games."

His wolf was surging. Ready to snap.

But before he could shift or charge, Aurora reached out and gently placed a hand on his arm. Her touch grounded him, kept him still—but her eyes never left Hazel.

Hazel tilted her head and smiled cruelly.

"Aww..." she cooed, rising higher as if drawn by her own madness. "The monster has awakened."

Then she lifted her hand again, ready to strike.

"Versa!" she shouted, sending a wave of force hurtling toward them.

"Versa!" Aurora countered, her own magic sparking to life like violet lightning.

The two powers collided mid-air with a violent crash that shook the walls but only one was left standing.

Hazel gasped. Her eyes flickered.

And then....Her knees gave out.

She collapsed to the floor, unconscious.

Aurora exhaled, lowering her hand slowly. She stepped closer, eyes narrowing at Hazel’s still body.

"You may be strong and mighty now, Hazel," she whispered. "But don’t forget...I helped you bring those children into this world with my powers in you"

She crouched beside her, brushing hair out of Hazel’s face. "My power lives in you... which means I can weaken you."

She stood up again, her eyes hard.

"And I will... if I have to."
