"Argh!" I shouted in pain as the evil trapped inside my body began to become stronger as the day went by. I don't know how long I will be able to hold on to this. "Alpha!" Scott ran towards me. "Should we call the elder again? It seems like the potion isn't working anymore," he said worriedly. "No need. I can still manage," I said, stopping him as I tried to catch my breath. Though it was utterly painful. I'm already getting used to it. There's not much that we can do aside from getting through this pain until it goes away. I've been doing this for centuries, so this time wasn't much of a a difference. Scott was hesitant to follow my order, but he had no other choice. A few minutes passed when one of the palace aides arrived and whispered something to Scott. "The seer?" he uttered.

"What is it, Scott?" I asked him.

"The seer, Alpha. It seems like he has seen a new vision, he explained. "And it has something to do with the leviathan locked inside you."

"Go on, let him in," I replied. I forced myself to get up from my bed. Scott helped me to stand up. I will not let my adherents see me in that pitiful state.

Scott helped me into my royal robe; his hands were steady and efficient. Once I was decent, he signaled the other man to open the door and let the seer in.

"Your Majesty," the se seer greeted, his face mostly hidden beneath his usual robe.

"What is it?" I asked, sensing the urgency in his demeanor.

"A part of t of the prophecy has been revealed, Your Majesty. And it seems there is still hope."

"Continue," I I ordered, my curiosity piqued.

"A woman with a red wolf is destined to kill the leviathan inside you, Your Majesty. She is the only one who can eliminate evil without sacrificing your life. With the help of a blade blessed by the moon goddess, the evil will be vanquished before it can walk the earth," he explained. "The vision arrived just as your body is growing weaker by the day. This can only mean one thing," he said, pausing for effect. "The red wolf has manifested as well."

His words hung in the air, heavy with implication. The prophecy, long a source of both dread and hope, was finally beginning to unfold. I felt a mixture of relief and apprehension. "Who is this woman?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure. "And where can we find her?"

"The vision was not specific about her identity, Your Majesty, but it is clear that she is already within your reach," the seer replied. "Her presence will become undeniable as the leviathan's power grows." My thoughts raced. A woman with a red wolf. I once read about the ancient wolf. It only appears during times when there's an eminent danger.

"Scott," I said, turning to my trusted aide. "We must discreetly investigate every woman in the palace. Look for any signs of a red wolf. Report to me immediately with any findings." Your Majesty," Scott

replied, bowing slightly before leaving to carry out my orders.

Yes, The seer continued, "You must prepare yourself, Your Majesty. The battle ahead will be arduous. The red wolf's power is immense, but it must be guided with wisdom and strength. The blade blessed by the moon goddess can only be used once. And it can only be used by the one harnessing the power of the red wolf. After it serves its purpose, the power of the moon blade will be gone along with the red wolf."

"Is there any way that I can recognize this woman?"

"I understand." I said, my offer you when it comes to that. But one thing I can assure you, she will kill the evil and remove the curse from Your Majesty."

It was such a relief to hear that there's still hope. After thousands of years of being a vessel for this evil, I can finally be free. All we can do right now is just wait until my Savior shows herself. guest.

A few minutes after the seer left, I had another unexpect Scott said, his voice tinged with concern.

"Your Majesty, the queen is outside, seeking an audience,"

I took a deep breath, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. "Let her in," I replied, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside.

Scott nodded and hurried to the door. Moments later, Jane entered. She frowned upon seeing me, her eyes narrowing with concern and suspicion. "Your Majesty, are you alright?" She asked, standing in front of

of me.

I was sitting on my office chair inside my chamber, my body barely holding together the pain inside me. No one knew about the curse aside from Scott, my beta, and the council of elders.

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?" I replied, forcing a smile and trying my best not to show the pain that's eating me inside. "What brings you here?" I asked, my tone guarded.

Jane's eyes squinted as she eyed me suspiciously. Though she held the title of queen, she was one of the few people I couldn't trust. Her allegiance was always questionable, and I couldn't afford to show any weakness in her presence.

"I heard rumors," she began, her voice laced with an edge of curiosity and doubt. "Whispers among the s**ts that you haven't been yourself lately. Is there something you're not telling me?"

I clenched my jaw, resisting the urge to let my frustration show. "There are always rumors, Jane. You

She stepped closer, her eyes never leaving mine. "I'm not here because of idle gossip, Your Majesty. I'm here because I care about the well-being of this kingdom. If something is wrong, I need to know."

Her words rang hollow, and I could sense the ulterior motives behind her concern. Jane had always been more interested in power and control than in the welfare of the kingdom. But I couldn't afford to reveal my vulnerability to her. "I'm perfectly fine," I insisted, my voice firm. "Now, if there's nothing else, I have matters to attend to."

Jane hesitated, clearly unsatisfied with my response, but she finally nodded. "Very well, Your Majesty. But remember, I'm always here if you need anything."

As she turned to leave, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. Jane's presence always seemed to carry an underlying threat.

Once she was gone, I let out a shaky breath, the pain in my chest intensifying. Scott returned, his face etched with worry.

"We need to move as fast as possible, Scott. We're running out of time; I can feel it. Find the girl and the blade."

"Yes, Your Majesty." He then bowed before he left my chamber.
