Millicent found the river not long after her escape. She looked around her and saw the clothes hanged on a tree trunk, she happily washed her body. Scrubbing herself for what felt like forever, she had been so dirty for so long, feeling water against her skin was like heaven. She was in bliss and couldn't help herself and started to play around in the water laughing out loud in delight. It had been too long, she never thought she will get this chance ever again. She wanted to leave all her bad experiences in that river, this was her cleansing and a new path was about to start.
She made a vow. She will not linger in the past and wallow in fear. She will live her life to the fullest, she will love with her whole heart. She will not lock her heart because of her experience, she found this a reason to appreciate everything more. The jealousy and hate her sister had was a hard lesson and she promised herself, she will never give into that kind of darkness.
She will not put herself through that misery, she has experienced that enough and now she will live happily and she will rejoice. "Sister you will not win. You will not conquer me. I will conquer you, I will not succumb to you. From now on, my life will be mine and mine alone," yelled Millicent happily.

The wizard in the warehouse finally awoke and found the cage empty. He screamed in anger, he failed to notice something was amiss, something was unsettling about the place. He started to look around when he concentrated on the surroundings he felt something odd. He felt magic. This magic was like no other and he knew this type of magic, it had been centuries since he felt it. This made him unsure and angry.
"Nicole," he whispered
"But how?" he asked himself, she died.
He saw her wither, the life left that old goose. She had been the strongest person in the whole world and his worst enemy. She was respected by many but for him, she was his biggest enemy. He hated her the most, she was a stain in his achievements he couldn't remove. This made him go crazy with anger.
He hated that bitch, she took his spotlight time and time again. Engrossed with his dark thoughts he didn't notice he was trapped when he noticed it was too late. He was awoken by the sudden suffocation he felt and saw the smoke that made it hard for him to breathe. He had long lost his sense of smell because of that bitch. She took it away from him as part of the punishment.
"NICOLE," he yelled but it was too late. The flames engulfed him with joy and it danced around him.
It embedded itself around him like a second skin. The sizzling of the fire wiled in excitement, his screams were like fuel to the fire. The more he screamed the fire became more ablaze. It rejoiced in his misery, he was punished with his power, he never hated anything than he hated the fire that very moment. He tried fighting the fire. But, how can he fight fire with fire?
It only created more anguish for him and tormented him more. He was feeling the wrath of his power, these were his last thought before he succumbed and yielded to the fire's will, and the fire danced with joy. It whistled with pride and punished him without remorse.

"OSCAR! NOOOOOOOOOOO!" The sudden scream Linda let out, alarmed everyone. She just witnessed her love, friend and ally die a merciless death.
Was this the way she will die too? She was sobbing in fear and pain of the loss. "You monster. You MONSTER," she screamed at Mika. She glared at her with hatred in her eyes.
She wished she could put her hands on her, she tried many times before but failed. It was futile, she was suspended in the air. This made her cry more when she realised there is nowhere to run, she was to be tried today in the pack grounds. She will become ashes like her lover.
"How could you do that to him? How can you burn him into nothing? How can you make me watch you, doing that to him?" Mika smirked. "What you wish upon others shall be your punishment," Mika said to Linda.
"This is how he planned to end Millicent, and this how I decided he shall be ended. He made his bed and now he may lie on it," she said walking slowly almost like she was dancing.
She was moving her hips like a seductive seductress. Linda understood then what this girl was, a golden wolf. She was the punisher of all the bad, she was Luna's servant. Linda trembled in horror, she even wet herself.
"Finally. Now she gets it," exclaimed Mika in a joyous, yet sinister voice.
She looked like a child presented with candy. If people thought Linda was crazy, well this bitch was a lost cause. A golden wolf had no heart, how was it possible she had mates?
"I am wondering the same thing too. Luna is such a psychopath. She is one mad bitch to do this, but I am not complaining. My mates are fine to look at and very cute too." Mika said in a sing-song voice.
Everyone was freaked out, Lucian and Sebastian with their families had arrived whilst Linda was frozen in the air.
"There, that creepy act again," said Sebastian.
Lucian and others who had witnessed it in his office agreed. Those who were new to it, took steps back because this was not normal. She sounded happy yet very threatening. Even the air around her started to feel heavy.
"No no, you're not her," said Linda in denial. "YOU ARE NOT A GOLDEN WOLF," she screamed in dismay.
The pack members gasps when they heard her and froze in fear. It was known to them what a golden wolf was like and to hear this girl was one, they felt nothing but fear in their hearts. The humans were lost and did not understand a thing. Only one person who already knew, Lucian.
"Oh, you shouldn't have. Now you will feel her wrath" said Lucian. Mika hated people doubting her rank, this was an ego thing but to her, it was an insult. It was worse for Linda because she was not anyone but a sinner.
