Relief washed over me, and I quickened my pace to join them."Freda!" I called out, my voice laced with urgency. "Something terrible has happened. Someone has infiltrated my chambers and left a menacing message on the wall."Freda's eyes widened in alarm as she turned towards me. "What?

Freda’s POV The next day arrived, and with it, the meeting with the elders. I entered the grand hall, my heart pounding with a mix of determination and anxiety. The elders, wise and experienced, sat in a semicircle at the front of the room, their eyes fixed on me as I approached the center. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the difficult task ahead."Freda, please have a seat," Elder Graham gestured toward the vacant chair at the center of the room. I nodded and settled into the chair, my palms moist with anticipation.Elder Graham, a respected wolf with a grizzled coat, spoke first. "Freda, we called this meeting to address the issue you brought to our attention. We understand your concerns and share your determination to find the traitor within our pack. Please lay out all your complaints and suspicions."I straightened my posture, my voice firm but laced with frustration.

Freda’s POVAs I made my way to my chambers, a surge of urgency pulsed through my veins. The weight of responsibility settled upon my shoulders, and I knew that time was of the essence. I needed to reach out to Scarlett and inform her of the compromised situation within the pack, despite the uncertainty that still clouded my mind.I entered my chambers and swiftly closed the door behind me. Taking a deep breath to steady my racing thoughts, I reached for the communication crystal on my desk. Holding it in my hands, I closed my eyes and focused my energy, connecting with Scarlett's presence. After a brief moment, her image flickered into view, concern etched across her face."Freda, what's wrong?" she asked, her voice filled with a mixture of worry and anticipation. "You look troubled."I met her gaze, my expression serious. "Scarlett, I have information that I need to share with you. It's about the investigation and the pack, but I can't discuss it openly.

Freda’s POVI was shocked to see that the symbol on the pendant was not the emblem of our pack as I had initially thought. It was similar, yes, but upon closer inspection, there were subtle differences that set it apart. My heart raced as I realized that this symbol bore a striking resemblance to the moon-like emblem I had seen in the temple, the very same symbol that had led to Scarlett and me being attacked.A wave of fear washed over me, mingling with my growing suspicion. How was it possible for this symbol to appear here, in the heart of our pack, when it was supposed to be exclusive to the temple? I knew that I couldn't trust the council with this information. There was something sinister at play, and I needed to tread carefully.Determined to uncover the truth, I decided to confide in Scarlett. She was my closest friend and the only one I felt I could truly trust. I reached for my communicator and sent her a secure message, urging her to meet me at a secluded spot where we coul
Ethan’s POVAs I peered through the curtains, my eyes widened in shock and disbelief. Shakira, the woman who had sent me on a mission to kill Scarlett, was on the ground in the center of the room, surrounded by a circle of candles and mystical symbols. She was engrossed in a flurry of incantations, her voice filled with a dark power that sent chills down my spine.Memories flooded back, cascading through my mind like a torrential downpour. I remembered her face, her manipulative words, and the twisted mission she had bestowed upon me. The realization hit me like a physical blow, stealing the breath from my lungs. I had been nothing more than a pawn in her game.Fear and anger surged within me, fueling my instinct to escape this dangerous situation. I turned on my heels, my heart pounding in my chest, and made a beeline for the door. But as I reached for the handle, it moved of its own accord, slamming shut before my fingertips could even brush against it."Panic rose within me as I fr

My werewolf senses, heightened by the transformation that lurked within me, flared to life, filling my mind with a primal fury. Adrenaline surged through my veins, fueling my anger even as I fought to stand upright.I scanned the room, my eyes searching for the source of the attack, but there was no one in sight. Confusion gnawed at my mind as I strained to make sense of the situation. Who or what had struck me with such force? And why?But as I looked around, my senses honed in on something peculiar—a faint trace of unfamiliar scent lingering in the air.

The pain in my side was relentless, a constant reminder of the battle I had just faced. I knew I needed to tend to my wounds, to find something that could help alleviate the pain and prevent further damage.Grimacing, I cast my gaze around the room, scanning every nook and cranny for any sign of a useful item. My vision was hazy from the pain, but I forced myself to focus, determined to find a solution.My eyes landed on a small table in the corner, adorned with various trinkets and objects. It seemed like a possible source of aid. I stumbled towards it, my movements unsteady, and began to rummage through the items. My hands shook as I picked up one object after another, searching for something that could serve as a makeshift bandage or a means to staunch the bleeding.My fingers grazed against a soft cloth, and I pulled it out, realizing it was a torn piece of fabric.
