Chapter 50: What Is Next For The Sins?
In light of what recently happened with Maleva's daughter, also known as the one, who was the leader and mayor of Cherrywood, she had lost everything.
Maleva's mother—Marsha, had been demoted.
Thankfully for her, she survived the various combined attacks from Michael, Lycanna, Catherine, and even her daughter, who all had to team up to take her down.
However, after having been brought to town, she was soon expedited to jail, where she'd await her trial.
Not exactly everyone in Cherrywood believed what the group of young adults had to say about their mayor, but enough people believed them to put her away in jail.
It helped that Maleva's mother AKA Marsha didn't fight it off and lie once they arrived back in town. She was honest. She knew she deserved to be sent to jail.
The dangerous shadow werewolf had finally been caught!
Her reign of terror was over.
Marsha was given a thin brown and beige dress, which mostly consisted of the jail uniform for women at the local jail. Since virtually no one was ever sent to Cherrywood's jail, she was the only prisoner there. She had no jail mate whatsoever.

Hearing what had happened to her daughter, Aurora, came back to Cherry Wood as soon as she could.
Aurora had been living far away from Cherry Wood for a certain amount of years at this point.
She was more than happy living as a recluse whom she called 'the edge of the world', in her little cabin in the woods.
The only thing that made her come back to Cherry Wood was what happened to her daughter.
Aurora was back in town and no one knew about it, just.
Michael would be over the moon, knowing that the triumphant MILF of the MILFs had come down to the place where he lived.
Michael had only met with her once at her cabin, and then he was never able to go see her again, simply because there was so much to do down here in the western side of the woodland.
Aurora entered her daughter's abandoned mayor's office.
The place had been left the same way it was before her daughter left it.
It was tidy.
It was a perfectly maintained office.
"Marsha…" the mother with the white hair murmured her name. Still processing everything that happened and how her daughter had turned into a complete and utter monster.
"I'll have no other choice but to replace you for the time being, my precious daughter…" Aurora added before turning heels.

"Ah! Looks like I'll have a lot of work on my hands!" Lycanna shouted as she stretched her arms outward.
The short wolf spirit woman stood at the center of the main room of the church, right outside Cherry Wood.
She stood between the two massively long rows of seats.
As surprised as anyone else to see herself like this, Lycanna now had a nun's uniform on. One that was similar, if not identical, to the one that Catherine wore. One that also had the wolf's head insignia on it.
"How did you make me wear this, by the way?" Lycanna had to ask her again.
"Come on, now. I didn't. You wanted to wear it. No?"
"Yeah… You're right! I wanted to try it on! I still can't believe you had one this small for me!" Lycanna was still amazed by it.
"It's my old one when I originally started here. Make good use of it, if you know what I mean…"
"I guess…" she had no idea what she was talking about.
It stayed that way…
The nun with the bloodred hair was still in the church with her, but she was on the brink of exiting.
The doors of the church were cracked open.
She would be leaving soon.
That was right.
Lycanna in the nun outfit was staying at the church, while Catherine was heading out the door without one.
She had just peeled her nun uniform off of her body and thrown it at the short wolf woman.
"When are you coming back?" Lycanna asked her, wondering how long she was going to be alone.
"We'll see…" Catherine briefly replied to her before heading out the door.
"We'll see. Catherine?"
Thud!
But it was too late, she was already out the door. The doors shut down on Lycanna.
She was now entirely alone in the church.

Elsewhere.
Not too far from the jail where her mother, Marsha was being kept, Maleva pondered on what all of this could mean.
"She's the one…" Maleva briefly mentioned as Michael soon caught up with her.
The two of them had walked from one side of the small town to another to pay a visit to her mom, yet, the emotionally-challenged huntress still wasn't too sure if any of this was a good idea or not.
"She's the what?" Michael asked her as he didn't hear her too well.
"She's the one who caused everything to happen…"
"You mean… About…"
"About you, Michael. About you being turned into a beast. She did this.
"She turned me into a monster, you mean."
"You're not a monster,
Michael," she corrected him.
"I am…"
"Well, what are you trying to say, am I a monster because I am a werewolf?" it had nearly become to a point that she became insulted by what he had to say, especially because she knew deep down that she was not a bad wolf, at all.
"No! That is not what I am saying, at all! You were always meant to be a werewolf. You were always one. You are pure blood. Remember? I am not. I'm cursed. You are not. I shouldn't be a wolf. I am an anomaly. I'm a monster," Michael went into a little more detail on what this all meant to him.
"Michael…"
"Also… Turns out that this is not my real name. Well, according to your mom…"
"What was it again?" she was trying to think, trying to remember.
"Hunter. She said that it was, Hunter."
"Right. But it doesn't matter what she said."
"I don't know…" Michael uttered. Not knowing where to go from here.
"Come on. Let's go talk to her," Maleva led the way. Insisting on the fact that they needed to go see her mother in jail.
