Scarlett's POV"Freda, we need to locate those two men who approached me earlier. Something tells me they have a hand in this. They seemed suspicious, and their timing was too coincidental."Freda nodded in agreement, her expression focused. "You're right, Scarlett. It's highly likely that they are connected to the attack and the traitor. We need to find them and extract whatever information they possess. They might hold the key to unraveling this mystery."With a shared understanding, we set off, our senses heightened, scanning the area for any signs of the two men. We knew that time was of the essence, and we couldn't afford to let them slip through our grasp. Every moment lost meant the traitor's influence could grow stronger.As we traversed the narrow streets of our community, I couldn't help but feel the weight of the task ahead.

Scarlett's POV The sight of the man's lifeless body sprawled on the floor sent shockwaves of disbelief and anguish through the room. Freda's cry of despair echoed in my ears, her voice trembling with a mixture of anger and frustration. It was as if the weight of our unanswered questions had manifested before us, mocking our relentless pursuit of truth. Tears welled in my eyes as I reached out, a futile attempt to grasp the fleeting essence of life that had slipped away so tragically. But it was too late. The man's final act of defiance had silenced the answers we had sought, leaving us with only fragmented pieces of a puzzle. "Freda..." I began, my voice choked with sorrow. But before I could say more, she stormed out of the room, her footsteps echoing down the corridor, each step mirroring the anger and frustration that surged within her. "Stay away from me!" she spat, her voice dripping with anger. "This is all your fault! If it weren't for your incompetence, we might have gotten

Ethan's POV"I... I can't be an Alpha. I've never held such a position before. Are you sure, Shakira?"Shakira's gaze met mine, unwavering in its certainty. Her eyes sparkled with an otherworldly wisdom that left me in awe. "Ethan, I have seen the potential within you," she explained, her voice steady and assured. "You possess qualities of leadership that can inspire and unite. I believe in your ability to deliver justice and bring an end to Scarlett's reign."I struggled to comprehend her words, the weight of responsibility settling heavily upon my shoulders. Being an Alpha was not something I had ever imagined for myself, but Shakira's unwavering faith in me made doubt begin to fade."But... why me?" I asked, my voice tinged with humility. "There are surely others more experienced and deserving of such a role."Shakira's gentle smile conveyed a sense of understanding. "Ethan, leadership is not solely defined by experience or lineage," she explained. "It is about the strength of char

Ethan's POV As I slowly opened my eyes, a dull ache throbbed in my head. Blinking against the harsh glare, I gradually adjusted to the surroundings. The blinding light receded, revealing a sight that left me astounded. I found myself lying on a smooth, cool marble floor that stretched out before me. My gaze took in the breathtaking sight that unfolded. I had returned to the temple where I had faced off against Scarlett, but now it stood before me as a testament to resplendence and grandeur. Bathed in a warm, ethereal glow, the temple exuded an aura of mystical allure. Its architectural design remained faithful to the structure I remembered, yet a profound transformation had taken place.

Ethan's POVLucas glanced at me, his brow furrowing in concern. "Ethan, I understand that the events of late have been unsettling, but I've never once doubted our cause or our mission," he replied with unwavering conviction. "We have faced countless challenges before, and this is no different. It's only natural for doubts to creep in, but we mustn't let them overshadow our purpose."I nodded, absorbing his words, though a lingering unease still tugged at my thoughts. "But Lucas, the encounters with Scarlett and the strange occurrences we've witnessed... It feels as though someone or something is deliberately trying to hinder our progress," I explained, my voice filled with a mix of frustration and determination. "We can't simply dismiss these events as mere coincidences. There's more at play here."Lucas sighed, his gaze fixed on the path ahead as we continued our march.
