"Stop!" Selene rushed forward, intent on destroying the apparatus, but triggered the laboratory's alarm instead. Guards from the Moon Temple swarmed in, and more terrifyingly, the mutated werewolves were awakened, breaking free from their restraints and revealing their sharp fangs. Ronan swung his battle blade to block the enemies, shouting, "Selene, find the core controller!"
Deep within the laboratory, Selene discovered a massive altar, at its center floated a pulsating black heart— the key used by the High Priest of the Moon Temple to control the mutated werewolves. Just as she was about to destroy it, the figure of the High Priest suddenly appeared, his face marred by twisted lunar patterns, clearly corrupted by a curse. "Do you think you can easily break divine authority?" His voice was hoarse and distorted. "The Twin Wolf Kings are merely pawns on the Moon Goddess's chessboard!" He waved his hand, summoning more mutated werewolves to surround Selene.
In a moment of crisis, Ronan arrived, and the flames of the Wolf King merged with the power of the reverse moon once again, illuminating the entire laboratory. During the battle, Selene's reverse moon patterns unexpectedly resonated with the black heart; she glimpsed into the High Priest's memories: he too had once been a reverse moon Alpha who chose to submit to the Moon Temple out of fear of the curse, suppressing his kin in a more brutal manner. "You have no idea what true power is!" Selene roared as her reverse moon blade pierced through the black heart.
As the heart shattered, all mutated werewolves regained their consciousness, and the Moon Temple's conspiracy was thoroughly crushed. Yet before dying, the High Priest revealed a strange smile: "Do you think it's over? The true darkness... has only just begun..." His body dissolved into black mist, leaving behind an unsettling prophecy.
The fall of the Moon Temple did not bring about the anticipated peace. After the High Priest's death, a more mysterious dark force began to stir at the edges of the werewolf world. Selene and Ronan discovered that some ancient werewolf tribes had suddenly vanished, leaving only reverse moon totems that symbolized the shadow of the Moon Goddess. "They are collecting reverse moon power," Selene said, staring at the disappearing tribal markers on the map; her reverse moon patterns glowed ominously red in candlelight. "And their methods are more brutal than those of the Moon Temple." Ronan's Wolf King mark began to heat up; he grasped Selene's hand tightly. "No matter who they are, we will face them together."
Following clues led them to an abandoned ancient city. A deathly aura pervaded the streets littered with corpses of werewolves drained of their power. Suddenly, Selene's reverse moon patterns went out of control; she saw a vision—a figure wearing a silver moon mask stood atop an altar surrounded by countless souls of reverse moon Alphas. "It's him!" Ronan suddenly drew his battle blade, anger flashing in his eyes. "The murderer who slaughtered my mother—the mastermind behind the Moon Temple!"
Before he could finish speaking, the masked figure appeared; an overwhelming dark energy emanated from him, causing cracks in the ground with each step he took. "The Twin Wolf Kings? Merely flawed vessels," his voice echoed as if from an abyss. "Only by returning all reverse moon power to me can this world of werewolves become truly 'perfect'." He summoned a legion of shadow wolves whose bodies were made of darkness; ordinary attacks had no effect on them.
Selene and Ronan fought back-to-back as reverse moon power intertwined with Wolf King flames to form a web of light that temporarily suppressed their enemies. However, the masked figure's strength was overwhelming; he easily broke through their defenses and sent Selene flying. Ronan threw himself in front of her without hesitation, taking a fatal blow as blood splattered onto the twin moon totem.
"Ronan!" Selene's roar echoed through the ancient city as her reverse moon patterns erupted with unprecedented brilliance, resonating with Ronan's Wolf King mark. With Ronan’s help in his critical condition, she finally grasped the ultimate power of the Twin Wolf Kings—completely merging light and shadow to create an existence beyond that of the Moon Goddess.
As the silver-moon masked figure attacked once more, Selene spread her arms wide; twin moon totems rose behind her. Light and darkness clashed within her body as she unleashed a force that obliterated the shadow wolf legion. The masked figure retreated in terror but it was too late—Selene's reverse moon blade pierced through his body. In that instant when his silver mask shattered, a familiar face was revealed...
