Iris and Jessica screamed in horror; Brianna killed Ofelia. Laura trembled violently when the sudden revelation came to light. She remembered how distraught Maverick was when he was told of Ofelia's death. Maverick also wanted to take revenge on the one who killed Ofelia, but the driver was never found. The Luna would've never imagined that Iris's sister was the culprit. She then noticed how Maverick shook violently. She knew his rage was taking over, and he would transform into his werewolf form. "MAVERICK, PLEASE CALM DOWN!" Laura's pleading went on deaf ears as Maverick's sight was on Brianna. His eyes turned pitch black; his teeth sharpened; he had the intent to kill.
Brianna saw and felt Maverick's rage; he looked as if he wanted to kill her. "N-NO! I-I-I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS YOUR WIFE! I SWEAR, I DIDN'T!"
Iris felt tears form and drip from her eyes, and her lips shivered. "DEREK, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS! FOR ALL WE KNOW YOU COULD BE LYING!"
Derek looked amused; he smirked. "Brianna was drunk when she told me, but I did a little research, and I found a news article about a pregnant woman who was killed in a hit-and-run accident around the area of this dog's pack. Also, Brianna gave me a lot of details." He then looked at Brianna, who was heavily panting. "Also, she confirmed that she did, so there's no use of denying it." The hunter slowly knelt to Maverick, who was seething in anger and vengeance. "I can let you kill her if you want. You and I suffered in the hands of that drunken whore. I'm being nice enough to give you the revenge you have always wanted."
Brianna trembled violently. "What the hell are you talking about!? I-I was drunk! I-It was an accident! A damn accident!"
"AN ACCIDENT THAT TOOK AWAY MY WIFE AND UNBORN CHILD! YOU MISERABLE BITCH!" roared Maverick. The Beta was filled with agony that all this time, Iris's sister was his family's killer. He wanted to break through the prison cell and kill her at that moment. Maverick also felt his werewolf side wanted to come out; controlling it was difficult.
Iris cried; seeing Maverick with so much anger and pain was too much. "M-Maverick! I know you're in pain! I know you want justice and revenge for your family, but please don't kill her! Don't be like her! Brianna will face justice, but killing her won't solve anything!"
"She's right, Maverick! Matthias and I will ensure that she will face justice for what she has done!" Laura held onto the prison's bars. "Think about it! Ofelia wouldn't want to see you like this! She wouldn't want you to become a killer! It would break her like it would break Iris!"
Derek scoffed; he wanted Maverick to kill Brianna so Iris could be traumatized by seeing her lover kill her sister. The hunter also felt it would bring him justice if Brianna broke his chance to be happy with Iris. "I know you want to kill her. She took away all your possible happiness. Do it!" Derek walked to Brianna's prison cell and unlocked it.
"Y-YOU CRAZY BASTARD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!" cried Brianna. She stood and tried to escape, but Derek punched her across the face, making her fall to the ground.
"One more move or I will kill you myself. Either way, you will die here today."
It hurt. It hurt so much that Maverick felt his skin burning from the fur slowly coming out of it. His head was serving, and he felt that he was finally going to snap; Maverick closed his eyes as the tears formed and dripped from his eyes. His werewolf form took over. Brianna screamed when she saw the sight. Derek moved out of the way as Maverick's werewolf form slowly walked toward the prison cell.
Meanwhile, it was dark, and the Beta felt he was floating mid-air. Maverick felt light, and that was when he realized that he had changed into his werewolf form; his emotions got the better of him. Then, echoes and screams were heard; they called out to him. He put his hands on the sides of his head as they became too much.
Suddenly, two hands cupped his face, and the screams stopped. Maverick slowly opened his eyes and saw someone, a woman, standing before him. His eyes widened in shock. "O-Ofelia? H-How is this p-possible?"
The image of Ofelia floated before him; she had a sad smile. "Maverick, my love."
Tears dripped from his eyes as he slowly lifted his hands to touch his beloved. When his fingers got to her face, they went through. She wasn't real. "Wh-What...? I-I thought your crossed over..."
"When I passed, the Moon Goddess showed me the events that would occur, and she allowed me to leave my final message for you. I'm just a part of my soul that the Moon Goddess kept for this moment. I will finally be able to move on." Ofelia went to her husband. "Maverick, you now know the truth. You and I have the closure that we wanted."
"Closure? That woman took you and our baby away from me! She-!"
"I know, my darling. I didn't want to leave you so soon. Remember that you are not alone. The Moon Goddess and I were fortunate to find someone who will complete you. You need to go back, protect, and love her. Don't let those who wish to separate you win." Maverick bit his lower lip as he eyed the woman he once loved. Although he and Ofelia couldn't feel and touch each other, their lips were on each other's. "Be happy, my love, and I will always love you." Ofelia then gave him a peck on the head, and the darkness faded.
Maverick was back in reality; he was in his werewolf form and faced a screaming Brianna. His rage did get the best of him, but he was now in control. The Beta stopped himself and took a glance behind him. Iris and the others screamed and begged him to stop. The hurt and desire for revenge made him realize he would be no different than Derek and Brianna. Maverick refused to be like them. He then stopped and immediately got out of the prison cell by pushing the door; Derek didn't close and lock it properly.
This surprised Derek and the women. However, Iris felt relieved that Maverick could return to his senses. "M-Maverick! Thank goodness!"
Jessica and Laura were also relieved. Derek was annoyed and ordered his hunters to point their guns at him. "Pitiful dog! You would've done us a favor of killing that whore, but you threw it away." At the corner of his eye, he saw that Brianna had taken the opportunity to escape the prison cell.
Tears were streaming down her eyes from the trauma of seeing Maverick transform, and she was on the verge of killing her. So many thoughts trailed in her mind, but what she knew was that she wanted to escape. Brianna didn't care if Iris was still imprisoned. The young woman never cared about her sister since she felt Iris had everything: beauty, career, love, and money. It was everything that Brianna wanted but was never able to get. She felt that luck was never on her side and that taking everything away from Iris was the best revenge. Now, Brianna realized that it brought her nothing but blood and misery. Trauma filled her being when she was forced to help Derek lure those people, those werewolves, to be killed. She had blood on her hands. Brianna crawled toward the exit, and when she got closer, relief hit her. The young woman stood and was about to run, but then, a single shot echoed.
Brianna stopped.
Iris, Jessica, and Laura looked horrified. Maverick, in his werewolf form, widened his eyes when the bullet went by him.
Blood dripped onto the ground; the bullet hit Brianna on the back and pierced through her chest. There was no pain, and her body immediately felt stiff, but her warm blood drenched her shirt. She looked down and saw the bullet hole. It got difficult to breathe, and everything got blurry. Brianna felt her life flashed before her eyes: her childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. She once felt happy and thought she was going to be someone. When grown up, she blamed Iris for her misgivings. Even at that moment, Brianna didn't want to admit that her doings led her to the path she got into. Her tears dried up. "It's...not...fair...." Brianna fell to the ground; she was dead.
Iris shook violently and screamed at the scene. "OOHHH MMYYY GOOODD! YOU KILLED HER!"
"I did us a favor, Iris. Your sister was nothing but a waste of air. She caused everyone pain." Derek then motioned the gun at Maverick. "Do it." Then, the hunters unwillingly raised their guns toward the women. "It's time to end it all. With you gone, Iris will return to the one she belongs to."
Maverick glared at Derek; it was time. He let out a loud howl that echoed in the cave. Suddenly, gunshots were fired toward the hunters and Derek. The bullets hit the weapons off their hands, shocking everyone except Maverick.
"Derek!" Xenon appeared from one of the small paths of the cave. Then, the other hunters and werewolves arrived.
Derek and the others were surrounded.
