Victoria suddenly laughed—a wild, broken sound that echoed through the forest. "You think I care anymore? Cedric, you'll regret this!"

She spun, screaming into the darkness, "Kill them! Kill them both! Leave no one alive!"

The moment the words left her mouth, countless black figures poured from the forest—all White Witches under Serena's command.

They gathered black magic in their hands, madness glinting in their eyes, dark cloaks billowing in the wind.

"Kill them!" the lead White Witch shrieked. "Take the woman alive. Kill everyone else!"

Black magic beams rained down, lighting up the night sky.

"Now!" Melvina shouted behind me. The Black Witches surged forward. Dark purple magic collided with black in midair, explosions thundering.

Light flashed. Blasts erupted everywhere.

I shifted again, roaring as I charged the White Witches.

Claws tore. Fangs crushed. Blood flew.

One witch tried to attack—a black beam shot at my head. I dodged, jaws clamping down on her throat. Blood bloomed in the moonlight.

Another tried to ambush me from the side. I whirled, crushing her skull with one swipe.

"Cedric." She smiled coldly, her withered face vicious. "Today, you all die here. Your corpses will feed my power. And that woman—"

She looked at Alice with hunger. "The power inside her will be mine."

She hurled the magic straight at Alice. I crashed through the witches surrounding me, roaring as I threw myself in front of it.

The explosion was deafening. The shockwave ripped trees from the ground. My body flew, crashing hard.

Fur scorched. Flesh raw. Ribs cracking. Pain everywhere.

I struggled to stand. My body had hit its limit. My limbs shook.

"Cedric!" Alice's scream tore through—full of terror and desperation.

I lifted my head. Serena was gathering magic again. Bigger. Deadlier. The killing blow.

"Die, wolf king."

The black sphere flew at me, reeking of death—
