[William’s POV]I walk down the long hall, listening to the sound of the prisoners as they scream and beg for forgiveness and freedom. It’s pathetic since they should know that it would do them no good. They committed the crimes, and because of that, they would need to do the time.Like you did after being responsible for many deaths? The small voice in the back of my head asks, causing a pang of pain to shoot through me.I want to tell it that that is different, but even now I know that it isn’t. If I didn’t get involved with those who were lost to begin with, then they wouldn’t be gone now. They would certainly be living their lives happily.Well, that is what I would like to believe, but there was the case of Elise, who was reborn as someone completely different and currently dwelling in that person with absolutely no memories of her past.This could be for the best. The small voice pushes. This way she doesn’t remember that you were the one to lead her to her death.As it speaks,

[Unknown POV]I stand in front of all, taking in their hooded figures. There are many of them here. Many of my children who have worked so hard to help me in getting to this very point in time.Some have given their lives, others have managed to survive, and when the time comes, they most certainly will be rewarded. For their loyalty, for their endurance, for their determination to make sure that our mission is fulfilled.Smiling, I raise my hands, drawing all eyes to me as I feel the power of the very earth between my feet flowing up into me. It’s intoxicating. It’s invigorating. And it reminds me that when all is said and done, I will be able to draw from it any time I feel.Yes. I think, my excitement growing. Soon, I will be all-powerful and the one who will lead us to a great new time. I will be their new goddess, and I will destroy anyone who dares to try to say that I’m not.Ah. This is lovely. This power that I feel that rushes through each and every one of my nerve endings. I

[Serenity’s POV]I stare at Aunt Elise while trying to make sense of what exactly is happening. How could it be that this whole time we had a traitor amongst us and no one seemed to realize it? Were we just that blind and easily fooled, or was the traitor that great of an actor?“What’s happened?” Maverick asks, breaking the silence that has fallen around us. “Why do you look so pale?”“We need to move.” I hiss, jumping up. “We need to warn Uncle Jose.”“Let me,” Aunt Elise tries, but stops as I give her a look.“You were barely able to stand properly just moments ago.” I tell her, gently smiling. “For now, the thing you need to worry about is recovering. Maverick,” I continue, turning my gaze to the man who is watching me. “I need you to stay here and keep an eye on Aunt Elise.”“Where are you going?”His voice is stern, and I’m certain that no matter what I say in this situation, he is going to try to fight me.“I need to speak with Uncle Jose.”It’s the truth, but it isn’t the whol

[Serenity’s POV]I stare at the woman in front of me, taking in her face that looks so much like Aunt Elise’s. It’s disgusting that she would use that face to draw pity from Uncle Jose and Uncle William only to turn around and betray their trust like this.My anger begins to bubble as my claws and canines extend, and I can feel Mahogany beginning to grow excited over the ending of this long war that we have been trapped in.“Such a brave little thing.” Ellie coos, lifting her hands so I can see balls of power appearing in them. “But do you really think a wolf is any match for me?”We’ll find out, I think, keeping my gaze fixed ahead, watching and waiting for her to make a move, and when she does, I’m more than ready to counter it.I jump out of the way, avoiding the power she throws at me, and then move in for my own attack, but before I can get close, power explodes from her, threatening to throw me off balance.Straightening up, I move, avoiding another attack all the while staying

[Maverick’s POV]Pain shoots through me as smoke threatens to suffocate me. There’s fire all around me and debris from the explosion that took place. A beam lies across me, holding me in place as I fight to break free. And as I search the area, I don’t see anybody who is capable of helping.Shit. I think, drawing on all the strength I have. What the hell even happened?Last I remembered I was fighting two of Ezekial’s wolves, and then there was a loud boom and then blackness. From what I could see, I was certain that a bomb had been planted and it went off during the fighting.But why?Wasn’t the one who set it off aware that their own was still in the building? Did that mean that they didn’t give a shit who was taken out by it?Or…Panic begins to flare up in me as I continue to fight the beam on top of me, struggling with all my might to budge even an inch, and once I do that, I wriggle some more.“Get off me.” I hiss, clawing at the floor for leverage. “Get the hell off of me.”Wit
