Helen's POV
Howls, clashing swords, and cries of pain reverberated throughout the chaotic battlefield. My heart was thumping in my chest as I stood motionless. I could still hear the voice from the shrine saying, "Make the sacrifice." You will destroy everything if you don't give up your power.
How could I accomplish that, though? How could I keep the pack safe if I relinquished this power? How was I going to stop Serena and her outlaws?
However, I could turn into the monster the prophecy described if I used it I let it out completely. When I lost control, I witnessed the power of my abilities. I was dangerous, as the last battle had demonstrated. What would happen if I used up all my power right now? Would I do more harm to the pack?
I made fists out of my trembling hands. I could sense the force churning within me, pleading for release. Like a storm I could hardly control, it was getting stronger every second. I had to make a choice.
