"I think this is the place." Scarlett shut off the engine of her vehicle. The car was parked far away from the hospital building. They'd all stayed in her car for hours, and when the time hit 6:30pm, Scarlett decided to go to the hospital. She'd believe the staff would have been reduced during this time, and it would finally be okay for them to sneak into the hospital to find the laboratory. "People are still inside, Scarlett." Avery looked out and saw a security guard standing right in front of the gate. "How do we get in?" "It is obvious that we cannot enter through the front door. Either way, we fly the fence." She gave Cornelia a quick look. "Stay in the car. Avery and I will go." Cornelia gave a headshake. "No way. I can't be the only one in the car. I would shit myself before you guys even get back. I am coming with you." She was the first person to exit the vehicle, and the others soon after. Scarlett managed to find a fence for them to climb through. She was the first to l
Avery and Cornelia both gasped as they stared at Scarlett. "What? When? How? Why?" Avery said. "What is all this about? When did this happen? How come I didn't see the marks? Why are you just saying this?" she added.Scarlett made a small frown. "Seriously? You had to make sentences with those?" Avery shrugged, and Scarlett exhaled. "At first, I didn't think anything of it. I saw it the night we were going back home from the club. I thought it was strange, but now it is even stranger.""Wow. So you're still unsure of how the marks appeared?" Cornelia asked."Scarlett groaned. "You are slow, Cornel, but yes, I still don't know.""So what will you do with the result now that you know what really happened?" Avery gave Scarlett two copies that she had printed out.Scarlett gathered them and tucked them away before turning to face Avery. "I suppose my mother should know about this. She has the right to know what really happened to dad." She sighed and made an effort to smile. "Let's leave
"Betas!" Raven said to Scarlett."What is a beta?" Scarlett inquired after spotting two large, enraged werewolves in front of them. They were so angry that Scarlett wished she could get out of Raven's body and run away.When Cornelia noticed the two large wolves, she fainted once more, and Avery sighed, "Not again.""After the alpha, they are the second in command. I believe they came to find you here because they were enraged by you."Adolpha caught Anton's eye, and he grinned. It is finally her time to finish what Simon couldn't, and that is to kill Scarlett for good. Due to Scarlett's scent, they had located her, and they had been keeping an eye on her ever since. Finally, they saw a white wolf with golden eyes approach the window. They knew to attack at that point.Raven growled loudly as her eyes met Adolpha's."Why did you two come here? What had Scarlett done? Given that she is still a novice, she doesn't seem to be able to harm werewolves," Raven said, but Adolpha's wolf start
Time was a valuable resource, and Raven loved hearing about the happiness Luna Agatha experienced each time they spoke. However, the betrayal transformed her into a dark beast who doesn't even want to engage in feelings of love for anyone. It all started thirty years ago in the town of Haling Cove, when love cast her master into the land of the dead.Growing up, Agatha was a contented child who always felt unprotected but who always had a smile on her face. When she was 18, she wolfed out for the first time, and Raven yearned to be close to her because of that happiness. She enjoyed talking to Agatha because she was friendly and upbeat. They grew to be the best of friends over time.However, Agatha fell in love for the first time on her way to the woods to pick out some flowers. She was royalty and loved beautiful things. The moment she saw this boy entering the kingdom, she liked him. The second time he visited to do business with her alpha father, Agatha started looking into him. Sh
Although Raven didn't know how to put it, she was aware that before Agatha passed away, she was filled with rage and the desire to exact revenge. When hatred began to grow within her, she was able to break free from Agatha.Even after all these years, she managed to kill Gabriel, but Viggo managed to flee, and ever since then, she has been looking for him. At age 25, Agatha passed away, but her tale persisted. Raven made sure of that because she always shared the tale with each Luna she bonded with, and over time, they turned it into books.She has been looking for Viggo for the past 24 years. Due to her hatred, she discovered Scarlett. It seemed like the Luna she always bonds with is someone who has hate in their life and doesn't live very long because they always want to get her out of their body once they learn that she sees the late Luna Agatha as her master rather than them. Agatha will remain her only master and the person she will always love."What's making you so depressed?"
As October cast a quick glance at Scarlett, her mouth gaped open. "Why not? You look like you want a phone." "I haven't mentioned to you that I want one. Did I?" "No. You didn't, but this is the latest one." Standing up from the chair, Scarlett turned to face October. Her attention was drawn to the table as she picked up the phone. She looked in Mia's direction. "You can have it," she said.Mia gasped as she took the phone from Scarlett's outstretched hand. "Really?" "Yeah. Whatever." When Scarlett located the stairs, she returned to her room. October dragged the phone away from Mia aggressively. "It's not yours," "Mom. That is the iPhone 14 Pro Max! Scarlett doesn't need it as badly as I do. She doesn't even appreciate you for that. I appreciate you, so please give it to me." Mia made a puppy face, but October ignored her. If she does not hand the phone to Scarlett, their plans to find out what she is up to will be thwarted. She moved her gaze to Avery and Cornelia. "You shoul
"She is out of danger." Doctor Octopus remarked as he left the room upon seeing Anton. "You can see her right away." He added. Anton was about to leave his side and enter the room when Dr. Octopus stopped him. "I still need to know the specifics of what happened to her,"Anton turned to face him. "Can't we just keep this a secret?" He asked. Dr. Octopus shook his head. "We can't conceal it from the alpha. He needs to be aware of the truth. I heard that he will apparently return tomorrow. You must inform both him and me of it so that I can record it on her record."Anton sighed and nodded before going into the room to see Adolpha. He noticed his sister staring at him when he walked in. As he drew near, she gave a fading smile. Adolpha attempted to sit up, but Anton restrained her. "Easy there. You don't need to get up." Anton helped her back onto the pillow. "How are you feeling?"As Adolpha shook her head, she started to cry. Still attempting to smile, she sniffed. "Dr. Octopus said
The girls passed weed to one another while giggling in the car. After getting wasted and passing out that morning, they had taken a break from it. Later that evening, after leaving the house, they had only continued. Scarlett swiveled around to face the back seat and gestured at the marks made on her seat. "I told you it was exactly the same," "I think this is starting to look like a fairytale." Avery said, taking the weed out of her mouth and giving it to Cornelia. That afternoon, they both mastered smoking. Surprisingly, the first time Cornelia tried it, she didn't cough. "I mean, I still can't imagine this appearing in your car just like that." "Believe me, I'm just as shocked as you are," She really was, but something wasn't quite right. She continued to study the lines and recalled seeing something similar in the past. A night ago, perhaps? Scarlett couldn't fix that, though. She clenched her hands and peered at her nails. She looked at them."Are you feeling good?" When Scarle
"Simon. You can't die." She set him on the ground. "I know you're hearing me, and you can't die. I will save you. Okay? I will heal you." She held his hand and looked up at the sky. There was no way she could save him. Everything will be over if she is too late. Scarlett began to cry, but abruptly stopped when she remembered something. She gasped. "The red water." She began to laugh. "Simon, the red water will save you." She stood up and attempted to pick him up again, but he was quite heavy. Scarlett dragged him instead, and as she walked further, the light of a car flashing in her face caused her to come to a halt."Scarlett." October dashed up to her. "Scarlett.""Mom, Mom, Mom." Scarlett left Simon and hugged October. "If I don't save him, he'll die.""You will then save him." Belly said as she ran up to her.Cornelia, Avery, and Mia rushed to her, and Scarlett told everyone her plan of using the holy water on him to get rid of the wolfsbane in his heart. They helped Simon into th
The burial rights for Mace and the rest of the deceased werewolves were performed the moment the moon surfaced over the clouds. Simon poured himself a cup of whiskey and drank it before pouring it over the fire to put it out. Scarlett locked her gaze on him, smiling with the reassurance that she would be there for him whenever he needed it.Simon was curious about Adolpha and Anton's whereabouts. They never showed up for anything. He sighed. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.""I understand how you feel, Simon. I completely do. Good job in completing this ritual."Simon turned to the pack. "I appreciate everyone's presence. It means a lot that we're all here for our brothers and sisters who died in the fight. We will only go forward from now..." Following a gunshot, a scream was heard, cutting Simon off. He fixed his gaze on Scarlett. "Was that a...""Gunshot," Scarlett finished. "The hunters." She took a look around and could hear murmurs. "Everyone relax," she said."Cyph
"Tonight is a full moon, Father. When do you decide to launch an attack on the territory?" Augusta inquired as they both entered the room filled with weapons.Philip let out a groan. "I can't believe my own family has lied to me.""I warned you that marrying October to Edward was a bad idea. You didn't listen."Philip reached for a rifle. He positioned it and displayed it as if he were shooting something. As he lowered the assault rifle, he made a low groan with a smirk on his face. "We're going to attack tonight, Augusta. Shoot any werewolves you come across.""And what do we do when we find Scarlett? I doubt you mean to hurt your own granddaughter.""Don't hurt her. Just make sure she is tamed. I'll consider her family and lock her up in a lab somewhere in Massachusetts.""She is part of our family, father. She deserves to be treated as such.""She's no longer a member of my family. I'll simply refrain from killing her because Edward, my son, was her father. Ever since the venom bec
Scarlett let out a gasp as she dashed through the woods. When she heard her grandfather's angry words, it came along with the realisation that he knows who she is. But how did he discover this? Scarlett's only thought as she ran in the cold night and almost full moonlight was to go to the territory to meet Mace and stay there for the time being for safety. She tried to catch her breath and inhaled deeply, but suddenly covered her nose when she smelled something bad.Rogues.Scarlett entered through the gate, but there were no guards stationed at the entrance. She took a look around and noticed how dry everything was. Where has everyone gone? She pondered. The packhouse was her first stop. She could smell blood when she arrived, and it was as desolate as a desert. She attempted to mindlink Mace, but it did not work. Scarlett sighed as she approached Simon's mansion and smelled the scent of werewolves.Simon must have kept them all in his house for their own safety. Speaking of which, s
Adolpha could now see the large mansion. She approached it and came to a halt. She took a deep breath as she stared down at the business card that had been handed to her an hour and a half ago. For her brother, she was willing to do anything. When she heard the sound of the door opening and saw Augusta, she raised her head."You are early." Augusta smirked."Where is my brother?""Slow down. Come inside. We'll let you see your brother if you tell us how to get into werewolf territory.""I'm not sure what kind of game you're playing. You wanted the Alpha. Don't you?" Augusta nodded. "Then why are you so desperate to enter my territory?""Just come along. We'll discuss it over biscuits and tea." Augusta took the lead. Adolpha came to a halt as she approached the entrance. "Oh. Wolfsbane." Augusta swept it away with a broom. She pushed open the door, making room for Adolpha to enter.Adolpha took a deep breath as she walked deeper into the mansion. The only thing she could smell were hum
"There are far too many of them, Simon." As he struck down one of the rogues, Mace said. They'd been fighting for over seven hours, and it seemed like the rogues were never going to stop. The more they kill, the more rogues there are."We have to keep fighting, Mace. We can't give up now." Simon said as the two of them backed up against each other, striking down the oncoming werewolf. The wolves surrounded Mace and Simon, staring into each other's eyes and growling angrily. "If you get tired, tell your wolf to switch places with you." Simon added.Simon's attention was drawn to the sound of rattled bones coming from outside the surrounding werewolves. Simon then heard howling and pawed the ground nervously. The scent of this particular wolf made Devil shiver. "What is the problem?" Simon asked Devil."The odour from Scarlett's school. Looks like he is here."Simon began to recognise that smell. "You are right. It is really strong. Are you telling me that I have an enemy of this kind t
"What exactly do you mean, Cypher?" Simon asked."They had the odour of rogues. There are far too many of them.""That is not possible. Even rogues are barred from entering this territory." Simon said. "But if they did, then I shall get rid of them. Mindlink the remaining warriors and have them transport everyone from the pack house to the mansion. This location should keep them safe." Simon moved his gaze to Mace. "I think we have somewhere to be, Gamma. Scarlett's situation can be discussed later.""I find it hard to believe that they were able to come in here. That is something impossible.""If you ask me, I believe someone on the inside tipped off this place." Simon reached for his clothes and put them on."And who do you believe it is?""I'm not sure, but I just want to get rid of them so I can go on with my party. Come on." Simon said as they exited his room. Simon was shocked to see the living room in such a disorganised state upon entering. He shrugged and grabbed a bra he had
"Please don't do this. Simon, Simon, Simon." Scarlett's voice began to fade, and instantly, she was jolted awake. She took a look around and noticed how familiar the room was. A sigh escaped her lips. "Great. He brought me back home." Scarlett rolled onto her back, her gaze fixed on the ceiling. She exhaled deeply before removing the bed sheet that had been covering her legs.Scarlett sat up and looked at the time. When she walked to her closet, her door opened. Avery and Cornelia dashed in, already dressed in their uniforms. "Good morning, Scarlett."Scarlett was taken aback when she saw both of them. "Why are you…"Cornelia cuts her off. "Dressed in school uniforms?" She chuckled. "School, Scarlett. Have you forgotten?""I believe she has." Avery walked over to Scarlett's bed and sat down. She smiled as she looked up at Scarlett. "She is married now, Cornelia. She believes she is no longer required to attend school."Of course! Her friends have no idea what happened between her and
Scarlett hummed softly as she gently washed her body with rose-scented water. The thought of Simon kissing her a few hours earlier was so hard to get out of her brain. Scarlett chuckled softly as she left the water. She grabbed her robe and exited the bathroom.The room was exactly as she had left it. Simon hadn't returned yet. Scarlett decided to go look for him in her robe. They weren't able to spend the night together on the night of her wedding, but they would this time. She looked through the library and the office, but he wasn't there. If he had gone to bring the item he had mentioned to her, it had to be in his old room.She stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and placed a knock on it. "Simon. Are you in there?" There was no response. Scarlett knocked once more. "Simon?" When there wasn't any response, she placed her hand on the door knob and gently opened the door. She peered in and saw Simon sitting sadly on the chair. His thoughts were elsewhere.Scarlett flung o
