Scarlett’s POVAs I slowly regained consciousness, I became aware of a throbbing pain in my head, and my vision was blurry and dark. I tried to make sense of my surroundings, but my surroundings were a blur. I blinked a few times, hoping to clear my head, but my vision remained blurry, and my head continued to throb. I looked around and realized that I was tied to a tree.My heart began to race as panic set in, and I struggled against the ropes, trying to break free. But the ropes were tight, and they cut into my skin, leaving me trapped. I looked around, trying to make sense of where I was, but everything looked strange and terrible.The trees around me were twisted and gnarled, and the ground was covered in a thick layer of fog. The air was thick with the scent of earth and decay, and in the distance, I could hear the distant howling of wolves. I couldn't tell where I was, and I didn't know how I had ended up here.As I struggled against the ropes, I tried to remember what had happ

Ethan’s POV As I walked alongside my packmates, a heavy weight settled in my chest. We had been so close to catching Scarlett, but she had slipped through our grasp. It felt like we had failed, and the consequences of that failure were unknown. I couldn't help but wonder what Scarlett's next move would be. Would she come back for revenge, or would she disappear into the night, only to resurface at an even more inconvenient time? I knew that she was dangerous, and her mere presence posed a threat to our pack. The thought of the danger that Scarlett could bring to us made me uneasy. We had worked so hard to maintain our territory and protect our pack, and one slip-up could undo all of our efforts. I couldn't bear the thought of anyone in our pack getting hurt because of our failure to capture Scarlett. As we continued walking, I struggled to shake off the feeling of defeat that clung to me. I knew that we couldn't dwell on our failure, but the weight of it felt like it was suffocatin

Ethan’s POVAs Alpha Damian's fury grew, a knot tightened in the pit of my stomach, and a sinking feeling weighed heavily upon me. His words pierced my heart like sharp daggers, and I couldn't help but feel responsible for the safety of our pack. I knew we had failed in some way, and the thought of facing the consequences of our actions was looming ominously.Yet, deep down, I felt a sense of anger and frustration rising within me. We had done all we could to protect our pack, but events outside of our control had unfolded, leading to this situation. How could we be punished for something beyond our control? The idea seemed unfair and unjust, and I couldn't help but feel indignant at the thought of being held responsible for circumstances beyond our influence.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "Alpha, what do you want us to do now?" I asked, trying to redirect the conversation.He glared at me, his eyes blazing with fury. "You will go back out there and find her," he s

Ethan’s POVThe sun's rays beat down on us mercilessly, the heat nearly unbearable. I took my hand and wiped the sweat from my forehead before turning to my team. "Everyone, listen up," I said, my voice clear and authoritative. "Today, we must capture Scarlett. Our Alpha would be beyond furious if we fail. We need to find a way around this rubble, so let's begin digging."As I spoke, my men exchanged looks of confusion and apprehension. "Are you sure about this, boss?" one of them questioned. "This rubble seems heavy, and we don't know what could be waiting for us on the other side."My gaze met his, and I spoke firmly. "I'm positive," I said, emphasizing each word. "Our Alpha entrusted us with this mission, and we must finish it. Now, let's begin our work."They wasted no time, immediately beginning to dig and move the rocks to clear a path. Our muscles strained as we worked, sweat pouring from our faces and bodies. The sound of rocks scraping together filled the air as we tirelessly

Ethan’s POVAs we got closer, the sound of the voices became clearer, and I could hear Scarlett's voice. My heart leaped with joy and I signaled my men to be quiet and to follow me. We approached stealthily, our weapons drawn, and we peeked over the large rock separating us from the source of the sound.Lo and behold, it was Scarlett and another woman by her side, talking softly amongst themselves. Scarlett's back was turned to us, and I knew this was my chance to capture her once and for all. I gave my men a signal, and we charged towards them, catching them off guard."Scarlett," I exclaimed, "you are finally mine!"Scarlett spun around to face us, surprise etched on her face. I could tell she was caught off guard, but she quickly composed herself and said, "Ethan, how did you find me?"gave her a wicked grin, "Oh, my dear, I have my ways." I gestured towards my men and said, "But enough talk, it's time for us to leave."Scarlett's companion, who I now noticed, shivered in fear and
