Miller using his Shadow travel had quickly arrived in Jacob's room by jumping off his shadow. His body was emanating a dim green light, and his face looked angry.
"Sophie told me you would assassinate him," Miller said angrly, "and she was right."
"You don't understand anything," Issac Johnson said.
The Werewolves didn't stop just because they saw Miller arrive in the room, they still moved forward, although at a slower pace than before.
"I understand you are planning to kill a friend of mine," Miller said as two long blades made of the green energy appeared in his hand. "I wouldn't let anyone hurt my friends. EVEN YOU, WEREWOLVES!"
The werewolves snarled at Miller, their teeth bared. They knew he would be a formidable opponent. But they were not afraid.
"We will not back down," one of the werewolves (Gabriel Anderson) growled. "Even if it means our death." He said firmly.
Christopher Morgan then moves forward more than the others. "Miller please, Jacob is a friend of mine and I wouldn't have done this if it weren't so important."
"A friend wouldn't want to end his friends life!" Jacob said angrily. He was behind Miller this whole time, but now he came a bit forward and was by Miller's right side.
"The eight of you can leave peacefully," Miller said, "preserve your strength for the Vampires, you don't know what they have install for you..."
"We know what they have installed for us." Issac Johnson said with a sad look on his face. "It's nothing more than our deaths."
"I still don't understand why you would want to kill Jacob?" Miller asked all of them.
"You clearly can't know, we made an oath." Henry Roberts said, his face looking at the floor in shame.
"We can't tell you what happened, but the truth is, if we survive we don't want any inner fight in our pack caused by Sophie." Christopher said.
"Why?" Miller asked confused.
"It's because..." All of a sudden, Christopher's mouth was sealed, making it hard for him to speak.
"What is going on?" Miller whispered to Jacob who was by his right side.
Jacob looked at him with a sad face and said, "It's because the Werewolves are responsible for the Vampires death, not only that, We killed Williams Strong Smith, Sophie's husband."
Miller's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. The werewolves had killed Sophie's husband, and they were keeping it a secret from her? He didn't know what to say. How could they do something like that? He had always thought of werewolves as noble and virtuous creatures, but now he wasn't so sure. He had to tell Sophie the truth, but he didn't know how she would react.
"You have to tell her," Jacob said, quietly. "She deserves to know."
"But I don't want to hurt her," Miller said, his voice breaking.
"Miller, I hope you understand why we need to kill him?" Christopher asked as they dashed forward.
"NO, I DO NOT!" Miller shouted in anger.

In an instant, Miller's body and Jacob's body got swallowed by Miller's shadow and they left the room.

Sophie sat on the brown wooden bench, the one where Miller had left her. The memories of her late was still fresh in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with sadness. The tears welled up in her eyes and began to stream down her cheeks, staining her shirt with wet streaks. She thought of her husband, of the life they had shared, and of the happy memories they had made together. It felt like her heart was breaking into a million pieces.
Suddenly, Sophie's shadow began to shake and ripple, as if it was alive. She looked on in disbelief as the shadow began to stretch and grow, becoming larger and more pronounced. From the depths of the darkness, two figures emerged: Miller and Jacob, looking just as confused as she was.
"I have something to tell you," Jacob said, his voice shaking. He was clearly nervous, and Sophie's heart started to pound in her chest. What could be so important that it would make him look so scared?
"What is it?" Sophie demanded, standing up and confronting the two men.
Miller stepped between them, putting his hands on her shoulders. "Please, just calm down," he said. "Jacob has something he needs to tell you, and I think it's important."
"No, I won't calm down!" Sophie cried, trying to shake off Miller's grip. "Is this about my husband? Did the werewolves kill him?" She was shaking with anger and grief, her eyes full of pain.
Miller looked at her with sympathy. "Jacob say what you want to say." Miller was still between them, fearing that Jacob might be clawed by Sophie at any moment.
"It was a normal Night," Jacob said, his face looking at nothing but the floor in shame. "The Vampires were with us that day, your husband asked all of us for a meeting, both Vampires and Werewolves."
"In the meeting, we were discussing about how the Vampires and Werewolves bound could get stronger more than that of a LOKI LUPIN."
"In the course of the meeting, Williams started to act strange. His head tilted left and right. His body transformed immediately and we heard him speak in a harshy voice and we knew clearly that he had been possessed by a WRAITH."
"How did the WRAITH come here? We didn't know. In a flash motion, Williams used his sharp claws to stab a Vampire that was by his right side. He stabbed the Vampire in t Earth, causing the Vampire to die on the spot instantly."
"After that, his sensed returned. 'What have i done?' That was Williams shocked reply. It was clear to everyone that he was possessed by th WRAITHS, yet the Vampires didn't agree to that. They said he had just killed one of their own and a Vampire's life is more important than Ten Werewolves life."
"And so with that, the fight started, The Vampires attacked Williams. All of us got into the fight and prevented the Vampires from doing anything they would regret."
"In the course of the fight, your husband, Williams started to behave weird as his body got possessed by the WRAITHS. The WRAITHS couldn't possess Vampires because they don't have a soul."
"Williams became stronger than usual and he attacked everyone in th room. No longer able to differentiate between enemy and foe any longer."
"The Vampire Students fought with their life on the line and do did us as Williams attacked us too. Williams was already plenty strong and now with the WRAITHS inside him, he was deadly."
"Through teaming up, we were all finally able to subdue him. And In the end, Williams stabbed another vampire, causing that vampire to fall to his death. The next second Benjamin struck his claws inside William's heart killing him on the spot..."
"So, Benjamin... Killed my husband..." Sophie said, breaking into tears.
"Yes, Mam, That's not all. After he died, Williams wound healed up even though he was dead making us know that it was the wraiths. The Vampires in the room disagreed, even though it was clear that it was a WRAITH that caused all of this." Jacob continued.
"They still kept on saying that stupid Vampiric norm. That one Vampire's life is more precious than ten Werewolves life. They treatened to report this to the Vampire Council, and then Benjamin lost his patience..."
