Scarlett's POV

Time seemed to stand still as I watched the scene unfold before my eyes. The sight of Ethan, once a beacon of light, now consumed by darkness and reveling in his sadistic triumph, sent a shockwave through my body. My mind struggled to process the stark reality of what was happening, the stark contrast between the person I had known and cared for and the monster he had become. How had everything spiraled so out of control, descending into this abyss of darkness?

Emily's desperate attempt to stop Ethan, her body battered and broken as it collided with the unforgiving stone pillar, left me paralyzed with shock. The pain etched on her face mirrored the turmoil within my own heart, the anguish of witnessing the fall of someone we had both held dear.

The only sound that disrupted the stillness was the harsh, r

His expression held a mixture of concern and determination, his hand still clutching the syringe. But his words eluded me, lost in the fog that clouded my thoughts.Dr. Thorne's voice reached me as if from a great distance, distorted and fragmented. "You... have been consumed by darkness, Ethan," he said, his words carrying a weight of resignation. "This injection is meant to weaken the hold it has on you. To give you a chance to find yourself again."I tried to respond, to argue against his interference, but my body betrayed me. The pain overwhelmed me, and darkness beckoned, luring me into its cold embrace. As I fought to stay conscious, the world spun around me, blurring into a kaleidoscope of fragmented images and sounds.Through the haze, I caught glimpses of Freda and Dr. Thorne moving towards Emily and Scarlett. Their figures appeared surreal, distor

Panic surged within me, intertwining with the adrenaline that surged through my veins. Time was running out, and we needed to escape."Emily, Freda, we have to go now!" I called out, my voice strained with urgency. "The temple is collapsing!"Emily's eyes widened in terror, her face pale as she surveyed the crumbling structure. "But what about Dr. Thorne? We can't leave him behind!"I glanced at Ethan, his expression hardened, his eyes fixed on the injured form of Dr. Thorne. The darkness still clung to him, threatening to consume him entirely. I knew we couldn't wait any longer. "Ethan, we have to leave. There's nothing more we can do for him now."Ethan's gaze flickered between Dr. Thorne and the collapsing walls, a battle raging within him.

    Scarlett's POVThe world around me seemed to blur as I stared at Emily, her determination etched onto her tear-stained face. My mind raced, desperately searching for the right words to dissuade her from her perilous plan. How could she be so steadfast in her decision to save Ethan and Dr. Thorne after all they had done?"Emily, please," I pleaded, my voice quivering with a mixture of fear and frustration. "I understand that you want to give them a chance, but we can't risk our lives for someone who tried to kill us. We have to prioritize our own safety."She reached out and grasped my trembling hands, her touch surprisingly steady. "Scarlett, I know it's difficult to comprehend, but I believe in redemption. Dr. Thorne spoke about it, and deep down, I feel that everyone deserves a chance to change. Maybe... just maybe, Ethan and Dr. Thorne can find that redemption if we show them the way."Her words hung in the air, piercing through my anger and planting seeds of doubt within me. It wa

They appear to be under the control of an external force, their actions driven by something beyond their own will."My heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down my spine. Possessed wolves?

It's not a coincidence."I took a shaky step back, my mind racing to counter his claims. "Ethan, I don't know how any of this happened. I swear, I didn't use any black magic.

How do we even begin to confront them?"Shakira smiled gently, her presence calming the unease that had settled over the pack. "Scarlett may possess mighty powers, but she is not invincible. There is a way to defeat her."Scarlett's power comes from a source that can be severed. The key lies in weakening her connection to that source.

Oliver was the Beta I appointed even as Scarlett's Pack injured."Oliver," I greeted him with a nod, "how are they holding up?""They're strong, Alpha, but their spirits are shaken," Oliver replied, his voice tinged with concern. "The battle was fierce, and many of them fear that the darkness is too powerful to overcome."I sighed, understanding the weight of those words.

It's hard to comprehend," I muttered, my mind racing to grasp the implications of such a revelation. "How did she even come in contact with them? And why would they grant her powers like ours?"Goddess Shakira's expression turned solemn, and she spoke with a sense of responsibility in her voice. "The dark forces are drawn to those who harbor darkness within their hearts, seeking to exploit and manipulate them. Scarlett's heart was tainted by envy, hatred, and a desire for power. They preyed upon her vulnerabilities and offered her a pact.""But wha

The pain was still present, though dulled by the effects of the healing herbs the healers had applied. My mind felt clearer, but the weight of my responsibility as Alpha remained heavy on my shoulders.Oliver was sitting by my side, looking worn and exhausted. His eyes met mine, and I could see the worry etched in his expression. "Boss, you're awake," he said with relief."How long was I out?" I asked, my voice hoarse."Nearly a day," he replied. "The healers have been tending to you. They say you need to rest and allow your body to heal."When I attempted to push myself up again, a searing pain shot through my back, forcing me back onto the makeshift bed.

    Scarlett’s POVAs the leader mocked me, his words hurt like poison, but I refused to let his arrogance weaken my determination. My main priority was to protect Freda and the pack, no matter what. Ignoring the pain in my body, I forced myself to stand tall in front of him."I may be young, but you underestimate my strength," I replied, trying to sound steady despite my trembling. "You might have heard about me, but you don't truly understand what I'm capable of."The leader's eyes showed a hint of amusement. "Oh, I'd love to see what you can do, little wolf," he said, provoking me further. "Go ahead, impress me. Show me your strength."With those mocking words, he attacked me again, moving quickly and strategically. I dodged to the side, avoiding his attack, and countered by striking his side. However, my attack didn't seem to bother him much. He chuckled darkly, seeming to enjoy the challenge."You'll have to do better than that," he sneered. "Is that all you've got? Freda deserves a

    Scarlett’s POV It was one that had shaped her beliefs and values since she joined the pack. It was a conversation she had with Freda, the pack's wise and experienced alpha, not too long after Scarlett had become a part of their family. Freda's voice echoed in her mind, stern yet full of wisdom. "Scarlett, being a part of this pack means more than just strength and agility. It means a commitment to protect and support one another, no matter the cost. We are a family, bound by loyalty and love. Never forget that." Scarlett clung to those words as she faced Ragnar's relentless assault. She could almost hear Freda's voice again, urging her to find her inner strength, to remember why she had chosen to become a part of this pack in the first place. Drawing on that memory, I pushed the pain aside and focused on Ragnar. "I may be bruised, but I'm not beaten," I retorted, trying to catch my breath.
