I grabbed my phone and started scrolling, my heart pounding with anxiety.

“Ahh!” I shouted, knocking everything off my table. I felt tormented and threatened as if someone was watching me from the shadows, and I was determined to uncover the truth.

My breath caught in my throat as I faced the mirror, my eyes swollen from unshed tears.

“Is this what life is? Being a mutant and a werewolf is unbearable;” I felt like I wanted to end it all. I breathed heavily, my heart weighed down by a deep sense of dread.

I slammed my fists onto the table, sending the scattered items crashing to the floor. The noise shattered the silence that had enveloped me just moments before. My eyes burned with frustration, tears threatening to spill over.

"Damn it!" I yelled, my voice breaking with despair. "Why am I cursed to live this miserable life?"

I glanced at the mirror and flinched at the reflection staring back. My eyes were bloodshot, with dark circles beneath them resembling bruises. My sk

    Scarlett pov"Girls, please stop," Marian said firmly. I've kept my secret hidden from them; being a mutant and a werewolf has kept me distant since I arrived in their city and was taken in by Marian.As I quickly moved to the wardrobe, the soft sounds of fabric shifting and the door creaking offered a momentary escape from the piercing stares directed at me. My heart raced as I rummaged through the clothes, desperate to find something to shield my exposed vulnerability.Marian's calm yet assertive voice broke the tension, her eyes urging us to remain composed. "Girls, let's pause. Whatever's going on, we can work through it together." She positioned herself between Katherine and me, her hands gently resting on our arms.Katherine's eyes held mine for a moment, her expression softening. "Scarlett, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry. It's just... you've been keeping your distance for weeks now. We're genuinely concerned." Her voice trembled, revealing the worry beneath her tough exterior.

    Scarlett pov “Why do you keep your family a secret from us, Lexi?” I asked softly, watching her reaction as my gaze moved across her face. It was clear she was uncomfortable with my question. She was hiding something—either she was lying or there was an issue with her family."I... I don't want to discuss them. Please, let's just drop it," she said, fidgeting with her bag. Marian quickly turned her attention to me."Lexi, are you alright? We're just trying to be supportive. Why are you reacting this way?" Marian inquired, her voice filled with concern as she shifted closer to Lexi on the couch."I know, but I really don't want to talk about my family," Lexi replied, avoiding eye contact. There was something off about her tone; it felt suspicious.Marian's expression softened, her brows knitting together in worry. She gently placed her hand on Lexi's arm, offering warmth and comfort. "Lexi, we’re not trying to invade your privacy. We care about you. You're like family to us." Her voic

    Lexi povA chilly breeze swept into my room, sending a shiver through me. I struggled to focus as the cold air brushed against my skin. I quickly got up, glancing at the clock, my heart pounding. I needed to keep an eye on Scarlett before Klaus made his move.With a sigh, I left my bed and approached the window, wrapping my arms around the iron frame as I peered outside. I just had to wait for them to head out for their morning workout. I planned to sneak in and grab Scarlett's phone; I needed to uncover information about her since Klaus was after her.I tightened my grip on the cold iron, my fingers growing numb. The wind howled, tangling my hair as I stared into the darkness, my mind racing with Klaus's orders.Scarlett was the target, and I was responsible for gathering the intel. The thought of betraying my friends made my stomach twist, but I felt trapped. Klaus was in control, and I was merely a piece in his game.I shifted my focus back to the mission.

    Chapter 47Lexi povI felt a heavy burden in my chest as I quickly scroll through her call log, searching for anything that could assist me. Klaus wants me to betray this girl's trust, but all I want is to be with Nyx because I love him.Her messages were locked, and everything related to the call log was inaccessible."Damn it!" I shouted, clenching my fist in frustration, my eyes filled with a sense of dread. Suddenly, an idea struck me. Perhaps I should look at her pictures. She had been overly protective of her phone, intentionally handing it to me knowing the log and messages were locked, but her gallery was open.As I browsed through the images, I was taken aback by what I found—various people, family members I had never heard of… My attention was suddenly captured by a photo of a man. Who is this guy with her? I wondered, zooming in for a better look. He looked just like my brother. I sank slowly onto Scarlett's bed, scanning the room to shake off the confusion in my mind. My b

    Scarlett povWhy is she inquiring about Markus? How does Lexi even know him? I rolled my eyes as my heart began to race. Could it be that Markus cheated on me with Lexi without my knowledge? The thought crossed my mind, considering how untrustworthy men can be. I just couldn't figure out why she would bring it up. The events of the day replayed in my head. I tossed and turned on my bed, flipping the sheets off me repeatedly. Lexi didn’t stay over at our apartment again because she suddenly had a mood swing.Her sudden change was keeping me awake. She claimed it was menstrual cramps, but I sensed something was off.I couldn't stop tossing and turning, my mind filled with questions and suspicions. Markus, my husband, and Lexi, my new best friend—just the idea of them together made me feel sick. I had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right.Then, my phone buzzed on the nightstand. I paused, debating whether to pick it up. It was Marian."Hey, Scarlett! What's up? You've been actin

    Author povA tall, muscular man leaned in close to a woman standing silently at a crosswalk, his voice low and threatening. "Hand over your purse! Do you want me to take it by force and do something worse?" She kept her gaze fixed on the road, fully aware of his intentions but choosing to ignore him."Are you deaf? I said give me your purse! I don’t want to attract attention, which is why I’m not just grabbing it," he hissed, his body pressing against hers.After a few moments of silence, he stepped in front of her. Suddenly, he lunged for the purse, but it wouldn’t budge; it felt as if it were glued to her hand."Looks like you're a thief," she said with a sly smile, the cool night air swirling around them."How did you do that? Why can’t I pull it away?" His frustration was palpable as he clenched his fists, moving closer to her, their faces nearly touching. She closed her eyes, bracing for a confrontation, but instead, he inhaled deeply, his hand resting lightly on her shoulder, hi

    Alia pov“Who are you here to see? Or who are you following? You might be stalking someone with the intention of stealing from me,” I said hoarsely, leaning in to grasp the situation fully.“I can’t share that, Alia. You can’t make me. I need to rest, eat, and find a place to stay,” he replied, quickly chewing his food. A wave of intense anger washed over me; I despise being put in a position of uncertainty.Tell me, I challenged.I won’t. Can’t you see? My hunger is clouding my thoughts; I need to eat.Frustration flared in my eyes as I watched him devour his food, completely unaware of my rising irritation. How could he be so indifferent?"Really?" I snapped, keeping my voice steady. "You’re eating while I’m trying to talk?"He looked up briefly, meeting my gaze before returning to his meal."Sorry," he mumbled, his mouth full.I tightened my fists, my nails digging into my skin. "Sorry? You think that’s enough? You won’t tell me what’s happening, and all you can say is sorry?”His

A soft giggle escaped me as I scrolled through my phone; the news and entertainment updates were overwhelming in the best way. I nearly dropped my phone from the sheer joy of what I was reading, my grip tightening around it.Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice call my name. My happiness faltered; I couldn't shake off the memory of her snooping on Scarlett's phone the other day. I had no desire to engage with her, especially since she had a crush on my Nyx. I kept my eyes glued to the screen, ignoring her attempts to get my attention."Marian, I..." she hesitated, likely sensing my irritation. "Marian, are you okay?" Lexi asked, her voice barely above a whisper as she stepped closer, blocking my view.I chose to ignore her, pretending to be engrossed in my phone as I scrolled through the news feed. The once-refreshing breeze now felt sharp and cold, mirroring my frosty attitude."Hey, Marian,"

    Scarlett's POV:Tears cascaded down my face as I gazed through the narrow, barred window of my prison cell. The view outside was a hazy mix of water and sky, the entire landscape engulfed, with no land in sight. The magnitude of my situation was beyond my comprehension. A prison submerged beneath the waves, where the horizon seemed to stretch infinitely, and everything I cherished had vanished beneath the surface.How did I end up in this place? How did my life devolve into such a nightmare?My heart raced as I wiped away the tears, my fingers quivering as they brushed against my damp cheeks. The chill from the window bit into my skin, yet it paled in comparison to the deep ache within me—the longing for freedom, for hope, for an escape. The thought of remaining in this submerged prison had never crossed my mind. Yet, here I was, confined in a cell, feeling as if the very water surrounding me was closing in, threatening to engulf me entirely.I allowed my body to slide down against th

    Scarlett povThe frigid air struck my skin sharply as the guards pushed me through the cramped prison hallways. My muscles tightened, adrenaline coursing through me as I fought to control my breathing. I sensed Blackwood's menacing presence just behind me, like a hunter relishing the scent of its quarry. Each step reminded me of the torment awaiting me. I had been in this place before, but the circumstances were now altered. This time, I wasn’t merely a captive; I was a target they aimed to shatter."You'll regret crossing me, Scarlett," Blackwood hissed, his voice low and filled with malice. A chill ran down my spine, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of revealing my fear.I smirked, keeping my voice calm despite the cold seeping into my bones. “You really think I’m afraid of you? You clearly don’t know me, Blackwood.”He halted, his footsteps reverberating in the stillness of the corridor. I could feel his cold, calculating gaze on the back of my head. “Oh, I know enough. Y

    Scarlett pov It was time for the usual daily bath. For us prisoners, bathing together in the communal bathroom was just part of the routine. I gathered my soap and other essentials, wiping my dusty face with a towel. As I made my way down the hall, I sensed something was different. Women were gathered, towels wrapped around them. My heart raced as I calculated my steps toward the scene. What was happening? That question echoed in my mind. "Hey Scarlett, hurry up or you'll face the consequences!" a sharp soprano voice called from behind, pushing me to move faster. I quickened my pace, my heart pounding with unease. The usual sounds of chatter and laughter were replaced by an unsettling quiet. I tightened my towel around me, the rough fabric irritating my skin as I continued. As I neared the bathroom, I noticed the door was slightly open, a beam of light spilling out and creating an eerie glow on the floor. I pushed the door open and scanned the room for clues about the situatio

    Marian pov I gathered my things, preparing to head to work, feeling the heaviness of loneliness and anxiety in my chest. I ignored the noisy fridge, too consumed by the reality that everyone I cared about had left. Scarlett and Finn were no longer part of my life. As I stood there, caught in my morning routine, the burden of solitude felt overwhelming. Scarlett and Finn had filled my days with joy and laughter, and now their absence echoed painfully in the silence. I inhaled deeply, attempting to dispel the emptiness that had taken root inside me. I needed to get to work; I couldn't allow my personal struggles to interfere with my duties. I finished dressing, my actions automatic as I went through the steps. I picked up my bag and moved toward the door, but a wave of anxiety washed over me as I reached for the handle. What if I couldn't manage this? What if facing the day without Scarlett and Finn was too much? I dismissed those thoughts, reminding myself that I had overcome

I could already sense his fury at the news that the one woman he tasked me with finding was still missing. I was certain he would kill me for this failure.As I pushed through the heavy wooden doors, the eerie creaking resonated in the empty hallway, reflecting the dread that gripped my chest. My heart felt like it was being crushed, each beat a reminder of the reckoning that awaited me.I had let Klaus down. The burden of that failure weighed heavily on me, threatening to suffocate me.

    Scarlett povThe door to my prison ward swung open for the first time in weeks, and the sight of daylight filled me with a surge of joy.As I emerged from the grim cell, the warm sunlight enveloped my face, its golden rays rejuvenating my weary spirit. It felt as though the universe was welcoming me back to life. I closed my eyes, tilted my head back, and allowed the light to embrace me, igniting a flicker of hope deep within.The sound of rustling clothes and soft voices pulled me back to the present. I opened my eyes to see a group of women in worn uniforms, their expressions a blend of curiosity and caution. I recognized that look; it mirrored my own reflection from the past weeks.A small woman with a messy bob and a scar above her left eyebrow stepped forward. "Well, look who finally decided to grace us with her presence," she said, her tone laced with sarcasm. "The princess has arrived."I shot her a sharp look.

    Scarlett povWhere am I?! I growled, looking around as if I were losing my sanity. The entire area was dark and terrifying. Remus was gone, the police had taken him, and now he was dead. I was held captive in a place where I couldn't even begin to comprehend my situation.I slowly pushed myself up from the ground and stumbled toward the door.Is anyone there? Why won’t anyone respond?I took a cautious step forward, straining my eyes to see through the darkness. The air was heavy with the smell of mold and rot. A chill ran down my spine as I made my way to the door. My throat was raw from shouting, but I called out again, "Is anyone there?"The silence was overwhelming. An eerie stillness seemed to absorb my words. I banged on the door, the cold metal biting into my fists. "Let me out! Please, someone, let me out!"Tears welled in my eyes as memories of Remus flooded my mind. His lifeless form appeared before me, and a wave of sorrow crashed over me.
