to go faster. | reached the top of the tower, panting and exhausted. | scanned the battlefield below, searching for Kex.
The sight before me was like something out of a nightmare. Bodies littered the ground, blood seeping into the grass. Men fought

my ws out.

fear, and it only made me more determined to fight.
My eyes locked on the man who | suspected to be the Gamma, the second inmand of the rogue pack. He stood near the
Rogue King, his body coiled and ready to strike. | let out a low growl, my body tensed and ready to attack.

waiting for the moment to strike. The tension was thick, the air charged with energy. | could feel the sweat beading on my brow,
my body. aching with anticipation.
He lunged at me, his ws outstretched. | ducked under his grasp, but he was quick, swiping at me again. | managed to dodge
him once more, but he was persistent, determined to bring me down.

him off me, but he was too strong. | could feel his hot breath on my neck, his ws pressing into my flesh. | closed my eyes,
waiting for the final blow.
But just as he was about to deal the final blow, | heard a familiar voice shouting, “No!” It was Harry, and he hade to my aid.
He pushed the Gamma off me, and the two of them began to circle each other. He changed into his wolf form.
Harry was the first to strike, his ws shing across the Gamma’s chest. The Gamma howled in pain, but he was not defeated
yet.
He lunged at Harry, but Harry was too quick for him. He dodged the attack, and the other wolves joined the fray. They were
outnumbered, but they were determined to fight to the end.

the woods. | was lost in a frenzy, my vision blurred by bloodlust. | attacked one wolf after another, each of them fighting
desperately to stay alive.

done.
But then, | heard a shout from the other side of the clearing. | turned, and | saw Kex and the Rogue King engaged in a fierce
battle.
As | charged towards Kex and the Rogue King, | felt a sharp pain in my chest. | let out a yelp, my vision blurring. | looked down,
and | saw an arrow protruding from my chest.
| turned, and | saw a familiar face behind me. It was Emily.
