Matilda
My wolf was agitated after practicing for hours. | channeled all my energy to the center of my body and waved my hands, chanting the mantra my Mom taught me, to create. the fireballs.
Fire was my main power element. My anger fueled my powers but | had to control my emotions to get hold of my power. | had already burned half of Avery’s room while practicing.
Avery was guarding her room so | wouldn't get disturbed by anyone’s sudden intrusion. | had to keep my powers hidden because Dylan had gotten his little minions in the pack. | couldn’t trust anyone except my sister.
‘Remember that too much practice will exhaust your wolf and tonight is important,’ Mom reminded me..
‘Why aren’t you home yet?’ | asked her. | had expected her to be here tonight.
*My loyal friend needs me and | can’t ditch her after what she did for me so I'll take some time but don’t worry. The necklace will protect you from the witchcraft and your powers will help you fight and win,’ she guided me and | sat back on the chair.
Sighing, | closed my eyes and rubbed my hands on my body to heal me. | ended up burning myself during my failed attempts. “You're being hard on yourself,” Avery stepped in and offered me a glass of water which | gulped down in one go.
“| don’t have much time left and | don’t even know my opponent's weakness. Dylan Kane is the most dangerous man | have ever met,” | told her.
Avery put her hand on mine and assured me, “You're the-” Her breathing became shallow as her eyes closed tightly.
“What are you seeing, Avery?” | asked, rubbing her hands to keep her warm.
“Thunderstruck. Rain. A maze in the forest.” She sna tched her hand back from me. “The prophecy says that the war will bring havoc on someone who is dearest to Alpha Queen’s heart.”
Her vision was unclear but the power in her voice was too strong. Her words caused a

“Avery. Avery, please, don’t faint,” | tried to keep her awake.
She gasped for the air and opened her eyes before coughing loudly.
“Matilda. Mom... You love Mom the most. You have to keep her safe,” her voice was

shaky as she spoke, “Thunderstruck will bring the war. Rain will bring love and trust but maze...” she paused while solving the puzzle.
“Maze will put me in the position where | don’t know whom to trust which is already happening,” | finished it for her.
“I'm surprised that I’m not passed out after having a vision,” she muttered.
“Your wolf is getting strong,” | said, getting up from the chair. “I'll see you tonight at midnight when the full moon is at its peak.” | told Mom about her vision and prophecy and got back to my room. Mom had to come back soon so | could protect her. | would do anything to keep her alive.
“Where were
you?” Prescott growled as soon as | opened the door of my room.
“| was with my sister. Do | have to report everything to you now?” | raised
to you now?” | raised my voice, annoyed by his hyper attitude.
Within a second, he lunged at me and grabbed my throat. “DO. NOT. LIE. TO. ME.”
“| have better things to deal with rather than arguing with you so you can either leave me alone or follow me around like a puppy,” | replied, pushing him off me.
He groaned in fury when his as s landed on the floor. “You went to meet Gabriel again. | know that he is here and mark my words, Matilda, this time, he won't be forgiven. I'll f ucking kill him.”
| folded my hands, keeping a poker face. “Now if you’re done, please, leave so | can sleep peacefully.”
Alpha Prescott clenched his fists and left without uttering a single word further. | knew that his wolf was bloodthirsty for Gabriel and he was going to kill him the second he found him.
Gabriel Cooper, you can’t die without answering my questions. He was here for me so | waited for him to come to me.

As | had expected, he came but with more mysteries. | put him under my command to make him speak the truth. For once, | wanted to hear that Gabriel wasn’t a sla ve to the Witch King and he didn’t betray me again.
“Open your f ucking mouth,” | commanded again when he bowed to me but kept his mouth shut, enduring the pain.
“He promised to help me get you back if | did as he said so | gave him a sample of your silver hair but today when he cast a spell on me to make me look like Prescott and gave me this perfume to spray on you, | had decided that | would tell you the truth but won't let him harm you,” he divulged, keeping his hand on his chest.
Dylan Kane’s spell didn’t work on me which meant that | was unaffected by his magic. | wanted to use this perfume but my gut feeling advised otherwise so | chose to keep it in my cupboard and find out its secret later.
“| love you so much, Matty. | did it all for you. | was losing hope when you weren't reciprocating my feelings so | accepted his help,” Gabriel spoke helplessly.
“You have to leave now before Prescott’s men find you,” | told him coldly.
“Tell me that you love me, Matty and I'll do anything for you. | will turn this world. upside down for you, baby,” he said with determination, holding my hands.
“You will do anything for me?” | asked, testing him to which he nodded his head. “Then,

“I'm not his sla ve,” he barked, restraining his anger.
“Prove it to me, then. And I'll happily come back to you. | love you, too, Gaby. | just want you to prove your love and loyalty to me.” | kissed his cheek and smiled at him.
He threw his arms at me and embraced me tightly. “I'll prove it to you, my love. | was dying to hear those words from you. | love you so much, Matty. | can’t live without you.”
“Me neither, Gaby. You’re my first love,” | hugged him back and laid my head on his
shoulder.
Everyone had played me, betrayed me. Now, it was my time to make them pay for their Karma.
