Angela's Perspective
The atmosphere was thick with quiet once the Alpha King departed, but Angela couldn't forget his statement: You're more than just a wolf. Her heart rate increased as she looked towards Devin. He had been aware of something the whole time, and now, with the King no longer present, she sought explanations.
"She snapped, her patience gone, indicating that you have undisclosed information."
Devin 's face showed clear guilt as his eyes darkened. The Alpha King believes you are unique, Angela —connected to ancient magic. He thinks you are more than just a wolf. "You have the power to alter anything."
Angela experienced a spinning sensation in her world. This was not achievable. After struggling for many years to stay alive and find moments of tranquility, she was faced with this unexpected turn of events. "What are you trying to say?"
"He desires you because he fears who you are." Devin approached, his voice firm. Inside of you, there is a presence that is ancient. "He believes that you hold the power he desires to dominate."
Angela felt her stomach knot up. This didn't seem logical. She formed fists with her hands. "For how much time have you been aware?"
"It won't be long," Devin confessed, looking away from her. "I didn't inform you because my aim was to safeguard you."
She was overcome with anger. I don't require your safeguarding! "I require the truth."
Devin clenched his jaw, and a silence filled the space as the unspoken weighed heavily upon them. Before Angela had the chance to ask him more questions, the piercing sound of a bowstring being released was heard. Instinctively, she dodged as an arrow lodged itself into the wall behind her.
"Lower yourself!" Devin yelled as he retrieved a gun from beneath his jacket.
Angela 's heart rate increased as additional arrows poured from the sky. Shadowy figures, dressed in black, were seen moving in the distance - rogues unlike any she had encountered. Their eyes shone with an unnatural glow, and the scent of the Alpha King's magic surrounded them.
As she crouched low and prepared her knife, she asked, "Who are they?" gasping for breath.
Devin reassured, pointing his gun at the closest rogue, "Their intentions are not to harm you, but to capture you."
Devin fired at the first rogue lunging towards them, causing the gunshot to echo through the temple. The rebel collapsed on the floor. However, increasing numbers were moving closer, acting quickly and without mercy.
Angela avoided yet another assault, her blade gleaming as she cut through the rogue's flank. Despite fending off numerous enemies, the onslaught showed no signs of stopping. The fight merged into a chaotic mix of gunfire, swords, and vicious adversaries. Angela sensed fatigue gradually taking over, her muscles aflame from every blow. However, she was unable to cease. Not at this moment.
Out of nowhere, a powerful burst of energy ignited within her, unlike anything she had experienced before. It raced through her body, untamed and fierce. Gasping, she stumbled as the power surged through her.
"Hey, Angela !" Devin cried out, but his voice sounded far away.
Her vision became unclear, the sounds of battle growing faint as the energy surged within her, ready to rip her apart. She fell to the ground, her body shaking violently, and then everything became black.
