Fated To The Cursed Werewolf King

Rita’s hair began turning white.

It started from the tips before spreading toward the roots, and the cold energy around her became even stronger. Her blue eyes slowly changed to red as she glared at Lydia.

The old witch stared at her in disbelief. ”Are you crazy? How come you can bend ice?”

Rita didn’t answer immediately. She simply looked at her with cold eyes.

”Guess who my grandmother is.”

Lydia froze. She thought about Rita’s words for a moment before her eyes suddenly moved toward the tall golden door behind them.

Her expression changed. For years, she had wondered why Rita was so desperate to protect an ordinary door. She had always believed Rita was doing it because Caius wanted her to, but even after becoming the Witch Queen, Rita had continued lowering herself and staying under the Werewolf King’s protection.

Now, she finally understood.

There was a reason for everything. Rita wasn’t simply protecting the door because Caius had asked her to. She was on the same mission as him. They were both trying to bring Lith back.

And Lith was Rita’s grandmother.

Lydia swallowed. She had known Rita for a long time, but she had never imagined that the girl could control ice like this. Water was already powerful, but ice was even more dangerous. It could freeze almost anything, and the energy required to control it was enormous.

”Stop using ice!” Lydia shouted. ”It’s stronger than bending water. It will eat up your energy!”

Before she could say anything else, a long, sharp ice arrow suddenly rushed toward her.

Lydia quickly moved aside.

The arrow passed close to her face and crashed into the wall behind her.

Her eyes widened. ”Rita!”

More ice arrows appeared in the air. They rushed toward her from different directions, forcing her to move from one side to another. She raised her hands, trying to summon her flames, but the cold air had already weakened her fire energy.

”Stop it, Rita! I won’t fight you again!”

She jumped over another ice arrow and landed on one knee. ”Ah! You crazy girl! I said I won’t fight you!”

Rita didn’t seem to hear her, the worst part, her glowing blue eyes suddenly turned red and the ice around her continued growing. Even the walls of the palace were beginning to freeze.

Lydia looked at her in frustration. ”Danger, huh? Was all this necessary?”

Rita slowly raised her hand. The tall pillar beside them suddenly became covered in ice. Within seconds, it was completely frozen from the top to the bottom.

Lydia’s eyes widened.

Before she could escape, Rita moved her fingers.

Crack!

The pillar split into two.

The upper part came crashing down toward Lydia. ”RITA!”

Lydia jumped away at the last moment, but the falling pillar still struck the ground close to her. The impact sent her rolling across the floor, and several pieces of broken stone hit her body.

She groaned, trying to push herself up. ”Stop it! I don’t know she was your grandmother!”

Rita only raised a brow.

Lydia’s heart skipped. ”Oh, come on. I already said I didn’t know!”

But Rita had already looked up at the huge chandelier hanging above them.

A cold light flashed in her eyes. The chandelier froze immediately. Lydia looked up and immediately tried to move, but the ice had spread across the entire structure, making it too heavy to remain in place.

It came crashing down. The witch rolled across the floor, but several sharp pieces of the chandelier struck her body. She screamed as the broken pieces pierced her arms and legs.

Blood began flowing from her wounds. ”Lydia...” she whispered, trying to lift her head. ”Rita... I didn’t betray you.”

She remembered what Hazel had told her earlier, and her expression suddenly changed.

That girl!

She had been telling the truth, but Lydia had refused to believe her. Now she was lying under a broken chandelier, almost frozen to death, because she had allowed herself to be manipulated.

She began cursing under her breath.

Before she could move again, a huge block of ice formed above her.

Lydia’s eyes widened. ”Wait! Rita, don’t you dare!”

The block dropped. She quickly rolled away, but the edge caught her leg and trapped it beneath the ice. She screamed and tried to pull herself free, but the cold had already spread through her body.

Rita raised her other hand. A long ice spear appeared above her.

Lydia stared at it helplessly. ”Rita, please!”

The spear shot toward her. She tried to move, but her injured leg refused to respond. She closed her eyes, expecting the worst.

However, before the ice could reach her, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted. ”Oh my gosh! What have you turned into, Rita?”

Alexander had just arrived. He stared at the frozen surroundings, the broken pillar, the shattered chandelier, and Lydia lying among the pieces. Then his eyes moved toward Rita.

Part of her hair had turned completely white, while the rest was still changing.

He approached her, intending to pat her head, but Rita’s red eyes suddenly turned toward him.

Alexander stepped back dramatically. ” Oh my beautiful moon goddess, what the heck is this?!”

Caius walked toward them with his usual calm expression. Hazel was already in front of Lydia, holding her by the neck while sending a large amount of ice energy into her body.

Lydia’s skin had turned pale, and her lips were almost purple. She was barely conscious, but Hazel continued feeding her energy, trying to keep her alive.

Caius looked at Lydia for a moment before turning his silver eyes toward Rita. ”That’s enough.”

He said it calmly, the he turned and started walking toward the golden door.

Rita’s red eyes remained on Lydia for another second. But gradually, the red colour began fading from them. Her eyes returned to blue.

Lydia stared at her in surprise.

How?

How could Caius’s words make Rita stop so easily? It was as if she had only just realised what was happening. She quickly released Lydia, and she witch fell weakly to the ground.
