The Scarlet Witch

Prologue — Dimitri’s POV I always watched her from afar. She tends to keep her distance at all of the events held in the pack that she lives with. Though it is odd, a witch living in a pack, she is the one thing that makes visiting and attending events at the Midnight Moon Pack worth it. The Midnight Moon Pack is led by an alpha that thinks too highly of himself. It doesn't help that he now has a witch living in his pack that he takes complete advantage of. It is said that he has her stand to the side during meetings with lower packs as a means of intimidation. I have never seen her use her magic, but if the rumors are true, she is said to be quite powerful. For some reason, I can’t help but to admire her. Every time I see her, my heart aches. Every part of me wants so badly to have her, to make her mine. It’s been two years since I first saw her. Hopefully, soon, I’ll be able to introduce myself to her. Prologue - Amaranth’s POV I hate being here. Every day that I am here is filled with anxiety, constantly feeling uncertain, like I am being watched. The Alpha nor his Luna want me here, and yet I am not allowed to leave. This place, in this pack, is not where I belong. I belong with my girls, my people, my witches. I have been forced to stay in this pack for the past six years, under the initial premise that I would need this pack if I had a wolf. But I know now that that wasn’t entirely the case. I have been used as a tool since day one. Seen as meaningless and weak, completely undermined. But I know what I am. And I am determined for the Alpha to never find out. I’ll continue doing what I have always done, keep to myself and try not to be noticed by anyone. I’ll listen and obey the rules they’ve set for me. Hopefully, soon, I’ll be free of this place.
