Someone was trying to ambush me.
âBe careful!â Caleb shouted in distress from afar.
He was a bit distant from me.
It was too late for him to rescue me, so he could only shout to warn me.
At that moment, I rolled away just in time to dodge the attack and grazed past the person trying to harm me.
But after dodging it, I quickly found out that werewolves were the ones who attacked me.
They belonged to the Xeric Pack, the Thorn Edge Pack, and the Silver Ridge Pack.
Why was this happening?
Before I could ask any questions, Gale stood up and walked confidently past the werewolves.
She looked at me with pride and said, âDebra, as the supreme witch, do you plan to stop my revenge?â
With contempt in her gaze, she mocked, âAre you going to kill these werewolves?â
That was when I noticed the red glow in the werewolvesâ eyes, and everything clicked.
If I called for help, Gale would likely do the same.
She used mind control to make the werewolves attack me, forcing me to fight with them.
She had lost her mind!
Galeâs actions were beyond my wildest thoughts.
How could she use the power she gained from other witches to control so many werewolvesâ minds?
She wanted to bring everyone down with her.
I raised my eyebrows, bit my lip, and shivered all over.
âIvy, whatâs our next move?â At that moment, my heart sank.
âGiven the current circumstances, I canât break their mind hold.
I have to fight the werewolves.
But no matter what, there will be casualties on both sides, and thatâs exactly what Gale wants.
â
âWhat are you implying?â Ivy was puzzled.
I needed to clarify the situation.
âIf I lose, Gale will have cleared her biggest hurdle in her quest for vengeance.
Sheâd then be unchallenged as the supreme witch.
Plus, she could take advantage of the situation to eliminate the werewolves from the Thorn Edge Pack and the Silver Ridge Pack.
Since they would have already used a lot of energy attacking me, it would be the best time to attack them back.
Not to mention, every werewolf here is a key member of their pack.
With one more werewolf gone, Galeâs path to revenge would be even smoother.
â
Ivy paused before responding, âAnd what happens if we come out on top?â
âIf we win, Iâll have used up a lot of witch power, and Caleb will be worn out too.
Gale will take this chance to take out Caleb and me, ensuring her complete victory.
Thatâs why I said earlier that it works out in her favor.
â
Ivyâs frustration was palpable.
âSheâs heartless! Honey, the way I see it, if we wait too long to act, sheâll do even more ruthless things.
We need to stop her now to prevent more harm in the future!â
I agreed with Ivyâs assessment.
âAlright.
â
