The 5-time Rejected Luna Queen

cure, Scarlett." She uttered and I arched my brows. This was exactly what I wanted, to get to her nerves just enough for her to tell me this.

"How old do you think I am, Scarlett? I know so much that you don’t even know."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Because the cure is right in your midst and yet you’re too blinded to even see it." She uttered and I furrowed my brows at her words, staring confusedly at her, "But first, before I talk, we have to strike a deal."

"If it’s letting you out of here, then dream on. You’re going to rot in here until the execution." I said and turned to leave, trying my best to hide my desperation, but once again, she called me back,

KARLA-

I ran out as fast I could, heading into the deepest part of the forest in the dark, but heard Daniel’s voice,

"Karla! Karla, where are you?" He yelled my name approaching the forest, but I hid back as I didn’t want him to know where I was right now. I just wanted to be alone so that I could think. If only I had told him that it was all a trap set for him by Jason, then all of this wouldn’t have happened.

I had no idea how long I could continue all of this. I was hurting from betraying my friends. The people who had saved me and taken me in. My worst fear was Daniel finding out who I am and everything that I’ve done since I came into the pack.

Jason had used Amelia as a distraction to complete the last requirement of the portion that
