Jethro's prophecy sends La Liga Unida into a frenzy. Despite the threat of losing command once Lia and Mateo return to the council, Frederick vows to protect Malia at all costs. Meanwhile, Jethro searches for the former leader of the Lunas, Tonio, upon realizing that the soldier's child plays a role in the prophecy. However, Jethro soon comes face-to-face with Malia's destined adversary, Sandrino. Aware that the child of the strongest vampire and the chosen werewolf will spell his demise, Sandrino becomes hell-bent on killing Malia.

Lia also risked her own life in exchange for the safety of Malia. The Luna, werewolves, and vampires protecting Malia are all killed by Sandrino and his forces including Clarisse, Benjie, and others. Malia was able to escape under Baristo's protection. Using his power of illusion, Sandrino manages to deal a devastating blow on Mateo and Lia, leading to them both dying while holding hands.
