STAY

Every detail that Tamara spoke of made Scott's mind turn blank. His head is still stuck with Diana, that he's not yet ready to move forward on the many other things Tamara will be entailing. Now that she's about to show memories that he lost, he has mixed feelings of wanting to know every single detail, to staying in the dark or prolly just be aware of how Diana was when he turned.

In a moment, Tamara flicked her hand in the air as a dark cloud appears. After a few seconds, motion pictures started to show like movies in a silver screen. Ofir peaked a little to see what the fuzz was all about.

Scott looked steadily as he sees himself and Diana under the banyan tree while the blood moon dominate the starry night sky. He watched as he tries to remember the scenes being shown.

Then, it happened.

Scott's dry mouth slackened as he watch himself struggle shapeshifting. With a safe distance from Diana, he saw how he kept his silent screams from an undescribable pain as he transform. His lips trembled as he saw himself turn to a indestructible killing machine with golden eyes like the sun. His claws became long and sharp, along with his razor-sharp teeth that surely brings tremendous danger and death to anyone.

Indeed, he is the lycan.

Without a blink, he watched how he attacked everyone. The entire town was painted in red as he ravage and kill everyone who came his way, not sparing a single soul. He thought, he was searching for something as he combed the woods with deafening howls and growls.

Then, Scott's chest tightened as he watch Diana run for her life. He saw her eyes filled with fear at the moment she caught a glimpse of his lycan form. Not realizing his fists were clenched too tightly, his nails dug deep on his palms until blood come out. Anywhere Diana went, the lycan followed. He was the death of her.

He tightened his lips in a fine line when he saw how the pack protected Diana all the way, despite beating them to a pulp. He appreciated their great efforts for keeping Diana safe from him. Then, his heart broke for Sebastian and Damon whom he attacked ferociously. Scott started to blame himself for all the lost lives, people who got hurt, and for his Luna who almost died because of his unforgivable acts. Now he understood Diana's fear of him. In his mind, she doesn't deserve an Alpha like him.

Scott looked away by the time Diana was in the arms of Roman. He couldn't find the courage to see Diana in another man's protection. When he looked back, he saw how he ended up face to face with Diana alone, by the cliff. He smiled a little with how his fearless Luna was able to escape his wrath using her tactical schemes.

'That's how she knew', he thought while Diana stared at him changing to his human form as he fell off the cliff.

Scott was still staring blankly at the moment Tamara removed the dark cloud display in the air. She raised her chin and smirked at Scott who's in a daze. "Enjoying the movie? It's based on a true story", she teased.

Scott woke up to his senses when Ofir tapped his leg. He looked down and saw a comforting smile from the lythari elf. He just nodded and looked back at Tamara. "I was hoping for a happy ending", he said.

"There will be, if you'll stay", Tamara replied. "Oh! I didn't know you brought me a gift", Tamara peeked behind Scott as she breathe the air and exhaled loudly. "Your power is so strong, I can feel my stomach grumble in hunger", she told Ofir. "These creatures have overflowing powers they know nothing of.. like your brother Wren for instance", she said with an evil laugh.

"The moon goddess will make you pay for what you did! She will protect us!", Ofir exclaimed.

"Hmm.. of course, she never ignores what she favors. She have always opposed my desires.", Tamara scoffed at Ofir. "But it's fine now, she have made up to me", she said.

"The moon goddess only do the right things to the most deserving creatures", Scott said.

"Really, now?", Tamara lifted her brows at Scott as she folded her arms on her chest. "When Diana survived my magic, I assumed that it's the moon goddess apologizing to me for all her rejections and

inattentions towards me. Because.. come to think of it, for once, the moon goddess sided with me. She gave me hope when Diana became my personal cure way back", Tamara closed her eyes briefly as she breathe deeply. "And then I felt so loved by the moon goddess when you imprinted on Diana. Tables have really turned", she said.

"Everything became more exciting since then. You know, having the blood of the Luna, which you'll hungrily crave on each full moon, is not only the key to break the curse. It's also the cure that will calm the lycan in you, even if you don't imprint on her. Either you use her, or kill her. You need her in this lifetime. You just have to take your pick", Tamara said delightfully.

Finding out that the lycan craves for the Luna's blood, Scott thought of Diana's question before whether he's willing to kill a close loved one to break the curse. With certainty, his answer stays the same. However, what bothers him the most is how to break off the curse without hurting his Luna? Also, how can he possibly keep himself farther from his Luna when she completes his whole being?

"Stay, Scott. I will lift the curse like nothing happened. Stay with the last living lythari elf you have there", she added while Scott knitted his brows at her offer.

"Last living? What do you mean?", Ofir said as he walked out from behind Scott.

"The fire wiped all of your family in the Valley. You are the only one remaining. Since you have no one to go home to, you can stay here. Let's maximize those talents you have in there", Tamara squinted her eyes while Ofir gets emotional.

"Everyone's… dead?", Ofir said as he started to emit a bright light on his hands. "My.. family.. gone?", he asked in grief.

Scott sensed a strong rageful steam coming out from Ofir, as he distance himself from him. "Ofir? Relax", he whispered.

"If only you didn't come to my brother and gave him false hopes.. none of these would have happened. You tricked him about getting us a lycan king to protect us. You led him to his death, together with our entire family", Ofir darkened his eyes as he intensify his powers on his hands. "It's all your fault", he said.

Tamara clenched her fist and stared at the lythari elf who have no plans of holding back. All of a sudden, the lythari elf screamed so loud as he release a blazing burst of energy that seemed like electricity, filling the entire Wooodsworth home disabling everyone inside.
