Scarlett's POVWithout a moment's hesitation, the men rushed toward us, their weapons raised high. I pushed Freda behind me, shielding her as best I could. As they closed in, their menacing expressions sending shivers down my spine, I knew we had to fight back."Stay behind me, Freda!" I shouted, my voice filled with urgency. "We won't let them harm us!"In that moment, my instincts took over. I lunged forward, my body moving with a speed and agility I didn't know I possessed.

I spat, my voice dripping with defiance.I engaged in a fierce battle, my body fueled by a mix of fear and determination.

I fought with every ounce of strength I had, knowing that our lives depended on it.In the midst of the chaos, I saw one of the men lunging at F

Scarlett’s POVThe soldier took a big breath and looked at me with kind eyes. He said, "When Freda and her group were leaving, they had a lot of trouble with the enemy. Something exploded, and she got very hurt. The doctors are doing their best, but it's a really serious situation."I tried to understand what he was saying, but it was hard. Freda, my best friend, was fighting to stay alive. I felt tears coming, but I didn't want to cry. I had to be strong for her and for our group."What are the chances that she'll get better?" I asked, my voice shaking. "Will she be okay?"The soldier looked sad and sorry when he answered, "It's hard to know for sure. Her injuries are really bad, and she's in critical condition. The doctors are trying their hardest, but they told us it's uncertain if she'll survive."I took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "What can I do to help?" I asked, speaking softly.The soldier looked at me with determination and said gently, "Right now, the best thing you

Scarlett’s POVFreda looked at the soldier and spoke in a serious and urgent tone. "Soldier, we need to search for the elders," I said, looking at them tiredly. "We can't leave any place unsearched. Get as many soldiers as you can and send them in different directions. The elders might have wandered off or gotten hurt during the chaos. We have to find them and bring them back safely."The soldier nodded, looking serious and determined. They said, "I understand, Scarlett. We will organize search groups and look everywhere around here. It might take a long time, but we will bring the elders back."Freda's voice was weak, but she spoke with determination. "And be careful," she added, looking concerned. "The enemy might still be around. We can't let anything bad happen to the elders. Make sure the soldiers are ready for anything."As Freda spoke confidently, I turned to the soldier in charge, realizing the important task ahead of us. I walked over to them with determination, focusing on t

Scarlett’s POV Freda's eyes locked with mine, her gaze unwavering despite her weakened state. "Promise me, Scarlett, that no matter what happens to me, even if I don't make it through this, you will make sure the pack is safe. You will protect them and lead them with strength and wisdom," she implored. My heart sank at her words, and I immediately shook my head in denial. "No, Freda," I interrupted, my voice filled with determination. "You're going to be fine. You're going to recover and be back on your feet in no time. I won't let anything happen to you." Freda's eyes softened with understanding, but she persisted, her voice barely a whisper. "Scarlett, I appreciate your optimism, but we must face the reality of the situation. Promise me that you'll be there for the pack, no matter what. Promise me, Scarlett." Tears welled up in my eyes as I took a deep breath, realizing the gravity of Freda's request. I knew I couldn't deny her this reassurance, no matter how much it pained me to

I know I have to stay focused if I want to survive this encounter."You're not the only one with secrets," the werewolf taunts, his deep growl sending chills down my spine.My mind races, trying to make sense of what's happening. How can this man transform into such a powerful creature? I've never encountered anything like this before.The werewolf lunges at me with lightning speed, catching me off balance.
