**Elizabeth's POV***My heart was pierced by her from behind and I felt my whole body temperature drop to a minimum while my strength was completely drained.I could clearly feel Jamie pulling the knife out of my heart but was powerless to stop it.A stream of blood shot out of the bloody hole in my chest. It was at least a meter high.Blood splattered on the branch in front of me and dripped from the leaves to my head.Another sharp pain came from the heart.Jamie drew the knife and stabbed me in the heart again.My eyes dulled and I fell to my knees weakly. My body slowly slumped to the ground.Finally, I saw the face of Jamie, who had stabbed me. She was looking down at me with the expected mockery and smugness on her face."I already told you. I'll kill you! How dare you mess with me! How dare you whip me! How dare you threaten me with disfigurement! You ugly bastard! You deserve it!"Jamie stepped on my bleeding chest, proudly flaunting her victory.My life was draining fast wit
**Caleb's POV***I didn't hesitate to follow everyone out. I can't rest. My heart was pounding out of my mouth with anxiety. I had to find Elizabeth!Carolina rushed up and tugged on my sleeve, "Take me with you! I'm going to find Elizabeth too!"I didn't object. I knew it would be torture for Carolina to leave her waiting in the room.My Elizabeth, please be safe. All along the way, I prayed to the moon goddess. However, all I got was bad news from my subordinates."Alpha, we have found a body up ahead!""Take me there now!"When I saw the charred corpse, burned beyond recognition, my legs acted like they were filled with cement, and I couldn't move a step forward.I was afraid they would tell me it was Elizabeth."Did you guys ever destroy the scene? Was there only one body?" I heard Beta inquire in an anxious voice."We came to inform Alpha as soon as we saw the corpse. We didn't move anything. Yes, there was only one body.""But look at the marks on the ground. There's obviously
**Beta's POV***I was furious. But the priest's reply was as I expected. He was old enough that he wasn't afraid to die. He would not be easily threatened by me.But I have a way of making him threatened by me."Old geezer, I know you're not afraid to die. But aren't you afraid to see all the poison wolves die in front of your eyes? To tell you the truth, the two infections that appeared in the pack were caused by my poisoning. I am the only one who has the antidote!""Traitor! Traitor!" The priest's eyes widened in shock. His beard was trembling with anger."The prophesied destined savior you were counting on has already been killed by me. Now only I can save those infected poison wolves. If you don't agree with what I just requested, I will kill you immediately and then let the entire pack of wolves be infected. By then I will take out the antidote and they will surely accept me as the new Alpha. It will just take a little longer. It won't change the outcome."The priest's lips qui
**Caleb's POV***Looking at my former close friend and right-hand man, I suddenly felt very unfamiliar with him. He didn't look anything like the Beta I knew."I want to know where Elizabeth is, can you make an exception and help me?"I asked in a tentative manner. He had been my father's right-hand man and then my most trusted Beta, and I didn't believe he would change completely."No. Elizabeth is dead. There is absolutely no point in using the Mirror of Witchcraft to see where she is."After rejecting me, he added, "Leave the Priest's residence at once. For the safety of the Priest, ordinary people are not qualified to come here at will."I stared into his eyes for a long time, and there was not a trace of friendship or loyalty in them. I vaguely realized that I probably never knew the real him."As ordered, Alpha,"I said sarcastically, and led Carolina away.Carolina did not want to leave. She was extremely angry."How could the Beta treat you like that? He's so rude and mean! Why
**Elizabeth's POV***Was he going to start eating me?He could easily snap my head off in one bite.I screamed as I stood up and ran. After running a few steps, I fell.I got up and kept running despite the pain."Where are you going, my doll?"The beast was chasing me from behind. I desperately pulled away, but the beast only needed a few jumps to quickly close in on me."Why are you running, my doll?" His voice even appeared in my ear. I could feel the burning breath spewing out of him as he spoke.I fell to the ground as I didn't notice the stones under my feet. The tiny gravel abraded my skin, and blood seeped into the dirt." Stay away! Don't come near me, you fucking monster!" I picked up a dry branch and wielded it as a sword.But it was only when I spoke that I realized my teeth were chattering uncontrollably.I struggled to utter a sentence, while the sound of my teeth clacking was louder than the sound of my voice. My words had no deterrent effect on the huge wolf.If only
**Elizabeth's POV***That night, I was awakened from my stupor by burning pain. The fire, however, was not the fire set by beta, but a flame of spontaneous ignition from my body.Strangely enough, the ordinary flames ignited by the alcohol seemed to be so afraid of my flame of spontaneous ignition that they could not burn me. Only my own flames could harm me.At that time, I clearly felt my skin wrapped in heat. However, my inner bones seemed to be hotter than my skin. My bone marrow flowed through my bones like lava.A familiar pain... I experienced a similar pain the night I got my wolf on my eighteenth birthday...The bones made a crunching sound like twigs breaking. They spun around under my skin in the opposite direction, forcing me into a four-legged position.I roared and ran up with my body full of flames, leaving Jamie's corpse burning alone.What was left of my sanity made me run in the direction of the only river in the Poison Mist Forest.I don't know why I can still run
**Elizabeth's POV***"I think there may be some misunderstanding between us. I'm timber wolf. I'm not a giant wolf.""Timber wolf?" Elroy sniffed close to me, then shook his head, " That' s impossible. You can't be timber wolf, I would never mistake the odor of my kind. You are a giant wolf, you are my kind. Lying is bad behavior.""A good doll should not lie. If you lie next time, I will punish you. I will spank you."I didn't dare to argue with him because of his " punishment". It's hard to get an arrogant teenager to accept something he doesn't want to accept, especially when the teenager is taller and has a bigger fist than you.Elroy is a minor 150-year-old giant wolf, which I can understand as the equivalent of a 15-year-old boy, a naughty, mischievous, and arrogant bad boy."Well, I'm 80 years old. You're right." I didn't want to waste my time arguing. I had more important things to do.I was ready to leave the place, but Elroy wouldn't let me."Hey, where are you going? You s
**Brandon's POV***"I have waited for you all for a long time. My friends. Come on in." The man entertains us with enthusiasm.Austin and I weren't going to be any less defensive of him just because he was acting warm. We both know that he is a scary guy who can sacrifice his clansmen for power.We must be careful of traps when working with such a dangerous guy."You should be thirsty, come and drink some water."We weren't stupid enough to drink from a stranger, except for Abby, who sat down and drank the water the man gave her before we could stop her and confidently asked for some food.Austin and I both despaired at Abby's stupidity. Sooner or later, she would die from her stupidity."That's enough. Step aside and don't waste time, Abby," Austin said as he shooed Abby from her seat."Sir, I think you must have something very important to tell us. Let's skip some of the trivia and get right to the point.""Yes, I indeed cannot wait to talk to you about the important matters. I am
