[-In The Metropolitan Mall-]
People began to crowd over the show being exhibited under the name of Scarlett.
Ivon was happy for Scarlett because it only meant one thing… her show was successful!
The staff of Richard Pride felt defeated because she knew that behind Scarlett's success would be her own failure. It will not be a good look for her once she reports back to Richard Pride.
Both Scarlett and Prince Kratos stared at each other's eyes.
Feeling the moment together. Due to their success, they felt victorious and in a celebratory mood.
A smile was painted all over Prince Kratos' face.
"That is why I am the one who should thank you! Because you saved my life!"
Scarlett smiled back to him. It all pieced together for her, thinking that maybe Prince Kratos was just being grateful to her. A reason for him to be kind towards her.
She shoved her thought about the possibility that Prince Kratos may have started to like her.
'Why am I hoping for the possibility that he likes me somehow?' Scarlett thought to herself as she stared at the eyes of Prince Kratos.
Music was getting louder but they remained focused at each other's eyes.
'Will it be right if I take this chance to ask her out and try to get to know her better?' The Alpha Prince also thought to himself.
The Alpha Prince of the Crescent Moon Pack hesitated back and forth if he should pursue his own desire to confront his growing feelings for Scarlett.
From a distance, Ivon was becoming uneasy and she could not shake off certain fear for something unknown.
"I have a bad feeling!" Ivon muttered to herself, barely audible for anyone to hear.
In the middle of the busy mall and jam packed audience of Scarlett's show, a huge metal spot light fell from above aimed at Scarlett.
Prince Kratos senses alarmed him for the danger fast approaching Scarlett.
His quick reflexes immediately compelled him to push Scarlett away from the danger.
What Prince Kratos doesn't know, it was already a calculated plan of Prince Owen.
"SCARLETT!" Ivon screamed for Scarlett's name.
Ivon saw how the metal boxes filled with heavy materials were set into motion when a stranger pushed the steel container holding it all.
It was too late for Ivon to save Scarlett.
As if it was executed perfectly at the moment where Prince Kratos blocked the huge metal spot light from above.
Even the Alpha Prince of Crescent Moon Pack was horrified to see things unfold in front of him. Rendering him helpless as Scarlett was about to get buried by the metal boxes filled with heavy materials.
Things were happening too quickly, not giving Scarlett to even comprehend why she was pushed away and how she ended up covered with metal boxes.
She was completely numb.
Next thing Scarlett knew, she was on the ground with blurry vision and a deafening ringing sound on her both ears.
A deafening ringing sound took over her senses. Scarlett could not hear anything properly.
Though, Prince Kratos was still able to stop other metal boxes through punching it away from Scarlett. Preventing her to receive more fatal wounds but she was still not spared.
So, there was still metal boxes fell over Scarlett.
Sir Rodriguez appeared out of nowhere and called for emergency.
There was no time to investigate or find things out. Because their priority was her life.
People panicked at the series of mishaps that was taking place at the backstage.
And mostly, due to Scarlett's unfortunate circumstance.
Her dress was covered with blood and portions of it got torn from the metal boxes that fell on her.
"Who are you?" Prince Kratos asked to the trusted chauffeur of Scarlett.
The Alpha Prince of Crescent Moon Pack wondered at the presence Sir Rodriguez.
Instead of responding to Prince Kratos, the trusted chauffeur focused on the condition of the only daughter of their Headmaster in Pride Family.
Scarlett's friend was stunned in her position after witnessing such horrifying scene.
Her first words to Prince Kratos.
"The man that pushed the steel container is getting away!" Ivon's voice was heard by the Alpha Prince.
Instantly, he asked Ivon where she saw the man escaping.
Despite his bruised fist, Prince Kratos ran towards the direction of the escaping culprit.
Alas! The Alpha Prince failed to catch up with the culprit.
Sadly, Prince Owen interfered with the chase of Prince Kratos at the culprit on Scarlett's mishap.
While Prince Kratos looking for the culprit, Prince Owen has already saved the culprit.
His evil smile says it all.
"This is interesting! Kratos cares that much for a human," Prince Owen stated with victorious look on his face.

~MOMENTS AFTER THE INCIDENT~
Scarlett was already rushed to the hospital when Prince Kratos could no longer find the culprit.
The biggest concern and question for Prince Kratos that he could not find an answer for was…
'How did that guy disappear so quickly? Even his scent was untraceable!' the Alpha Prince of the Crescent Moon Pack thought to himself.
When he realized that it was already pointless to look for the culprit, Prince Kratos followed to the nearest hospital since Scarlett will be rushed to that hospital.
As soon as Prince Kratos arrived, he was surprised that the entire hospital was tightly secured.
He did not waste time so he went ahead to the reception and asked for the room of Scarlett.
Before the nurse could answer him, the Alpha Prince noticed the scent of Richard Pride and other members of the Pride Family.
He discreetly hid his presence and followed the headmaster of the Pride Family.
Upon following Richard Pride, he became more confused as to why Richard Pride visited Scarlett's room.
Then he saw Richard Pride reprimanded the chauffeur of Scarlett.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" Richard Pride was angry. He was surrounded by his sons and Butler Fredo outside the hospital room of Scarlett.
Edward, the eldest son of Richard Pride calmed their father down and made him go see Scarlett instead of screaming by the hallway.
Sir Dominguez was feeling responsible for his carelessness and letting such incident took place.
He lowered his gaze and felt ashamed for what happened to Scarlett.
"Where were you when it happened?" Edward Pride was calm in his queries compared to his father.
There was silence at first from Sir Dominguez because he tried to ponder how things escalated.
From the show organized under the name of Scarlett into a full scale bloody incident.
"According to some witnesses, including her friend, a series of accidents happened at the backstage. A colleague of hers said that she saw a man tried to harm Scarlett," Sir Dominguez replied.
"It's not an accident, Sir Dominguez! Whoever plotted this incident, their target is clearly Scarlett," Edward Pride highly believed that the incident was not an accident.
He further revealed, "They are aiming to kill my only sister if given the chance!"
