Scarlett (Second Edition) by Karima Saad Usman novel Chapter 247

hapter 247

They bore no humanity, no spark of life, Staring into those eyes was like gazing into an endless void, a darkness that seemed to claw at my very soul. He wasn’t just a man. He was a nightmare given flesh- – being that shouldn’t have extated in this world.

Shivers ran down my spine as I realized the full extent of what we were up against. This wasn’t just a fight for survival-it was a fight against the unnatural,

the unholy. And at this moment, I wasn’t sure if we had the strength to prevail.

“Your fear smells delicious,” young Nikolay said, his voice calm, cool, and unnervingly steady. The darkness in his tone sent a shiver down my spine, but i

refused to let him see the full extent of my terror.

“How could Father have fathered something like you,” he continued, his gaze cold and calculating, “yet cherished and protected you while I rotted in the

woods with the outcast seers? Isn’t that unfair?”

His eyes drifted to my neck, and his lip curled in disdain. “Three mates. What a greedy little bitch you are.”

I bit back the growl threatening to escape my throat, keeping my emotions in check. My magic couldn’t touch his-it would be catastrophic. But the insult burned, and I could feel Midnight snarling within me, eager to unleash her fury.

Behind me, I heard Tiger, Vin, and Neo growling. Their rage vibrated through the battlefield, and when I turned to glance at them, I saw their auras flaring, magic rising to the surface. A shift rippled through the battlefield as their power began to manifest. The air became electric with their presence, and I knew something monumental was about to happen.

“What the fuck!” David snarled, his voice betraying his shock as he looked from my mates to me. He was destabilized, his arrogance cracking under the sudden turn of events. “How?” he demanded, his eyes darting between them.

Gripping me tighter, Nikolay’s dark aura constricting around me, David growled, “It seems I was tricked. Why didn’t you tell me she was your fate?” His accusation was directed at Lucian, whose silence was telling.

Tiger, Vin, and Neo weren’t waiting for an explanation. They sprang into action, their magic surging forward. Tiger unleashed a torrent of fire, but the flames ricocheted, bouncing off something unseen and incinerating enemy warriors instead.

Vin’s roots tore through the ground, shredding wolves with brutal efficiency, while Neo’s ice shards shot with deadly precision, piercing through enemy waves and striking them down. The battlefield was no longer theirs to control. My mates were wielding their magic with ferocious precision, forcing the

enemy to fall back.

David’s expression twisted into a mixture of fury and fear. “I see,” he said darkly, his voice dripping with malice as he tightened his grip on me. “With her dead, you’ll be as hollow and empty as a void.”

He reached for me, his hand aiming for the kill. I had no choice now. I couldn’t let him use me as a weapon against my mates. This was the moment I had dreaded, the moment I had tried to avoid. But there was no more time to wait.

“No, Scarlett!” Lucian’s voice rang out, desperate and pleading, but it was too late.

I unleashed my magle.

It surged beneath my skin, crackling to the surface as my green aura exploded outward. The dark magic constraining me recoiled, but my magic wasn’t just pushing it away–it was learning from it. I felt it, the terrible pull of the dark aura’s attributes trying to imprint themselves on me. My worst fear was coming to life, and I had to break free before it consumed me entirely.

Chapter 247

The benefield shifted again as the reality of what was happening he and clear. My mates gaining their magic was the game changer no one had

nucipated. Fate had hidden this entcome from everyone leaving the battle’s path anpredictable until the very last moment,

“What the fuck?” David snarled agate his composure crumbling as he turned his wide-eyed gaze toward me. He finally realized what I was, and for the first

time, I saw fear in his expression.

“You have magic too?” he asked, his voice trembling with a mix of surprise and terror. He had miscalculated. They all had.

Their carefully laid plans were unraveling, and they weren’t prepared for what was coming next.

I broke away from the dark aura and stood on my own, my magic crackling around me like a storm ready to unleash.

Midnight surged to the surface, her presence grounding me even as the weight of my corruption lingered in the back of

my

mind.

Before David could react, shift, or even speak, I unleashed a burst of magic at his legs. The flame licked up his limbs, barning slowly. It wasn’t mercy-it was calculated justice. He deserved a slow death for the pain he’d caused, and I didn’t feel a shred of regret.

But the dark aura swirling in my magic didn’t go unnoticed. The black tendrils mixed with the green flames unnerved me, a constant reminder of the price I’d already paid in this battle.

I

would have to confront it later, but not now. My focus remained on the fight, and more importantly, on young Nikolay.

I saw him begin to shift, his grey wolf emerging with raw ferocity. He wasn’t holding back anymore-he would use everything he had. And neither would I.
