Chapter 57
Mar 31, 2025
The woman emerged from the shadows, transformed. Dark power had consumed her humanity. It turned her into a monster, a fusion of ancient forces.
Her skin rippled like a stormy sea, and her eyes blazed with an unnatural silver light. Her body twisted and elongated, becoming a grotesque parody of its former shape. It was as if reality had been torn apart to allow this abomination to exist.
Her voice was no longer hers alone, but a chorus of echoes layered with the whispers of countless others. The heavy, oppressive air seemed to vibrate with their presence. Her words dripped with malice.
She snarled, “You thought you could take them from me?” rattling the walls.
Lucien stiffened beside Damien. His heavy breathing showed his horror.
“She’s not just a wolf anymore,” he whispered, his voice laced with dread.
Damien’s jaw clenched, his determination evident in the set of his face. “Then we end this. Tonight.”
Danielle lunged forward as the battle began. Her claws flashed like scimitars in the dim light. Lucien barely dodged the deadly blow. He rolled aside as her talons slashed deep into the stone wall, sending shrapnel flying. Damien shifted mid-movement. His wolf form collided with Danielle’s in a brutal, bone-crunching impact.
The two wolves tumbled across the floor. Their snarls and growls echoed off the walls as they tore into each other’s flesh with claws and teeth. Xavier and Lucien flanked Danielle, forcing her to defend on multiple fronts.
But she was a force of nature.
Her claws glowed with an unnatural energy.
Lucien saw his chance. He moved fast. He grabbed the silver dagger from Damien’s belt. The cool metal was a comforting weight in his hand. Danielle was too focused on Damien to notice. Her twisted mind was fixed on her enemy. Lucien didn’t hesitate. With a swift, deadly motion, he plunged the blade deep into her chest.
Danielle reacted right away. Her body jerked, and she screamed. The sound was otherworldly. The dark energy around her shattered; her monstrous form flickered, weakening. Damien grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to look at him, his eyes locked on hers.
“It’s over, Danielle.”
For a moment, her lips trembled. Her eyes flickered between silver and human. In that instant, Lucien saw a glimmer of the sister he once knew. Then, her body gave out, her form crumbling into ash, the last traces of her dark power fading into nothing.
It was over.
Danielle was dead.
