As their battle comes into conclusion, Oliver instructed everyone to be careful and remain vigilant.

Avoid any unnecessary mindless attack because Chloe is just one step away from the huntress.

​​

Their intense emotions may put Chloe in more danger.

Even Prince Ivan was not in the mood for being patient and calm.

His priorities were different from Oliver.

'Prince Ivan! Georgie! I know you both want to save Chloe, but don't rush into any attacks.

First, the huntress may have expected for all of us to save Chloe and we may fall into her trap.

Second, she said herself … she will not kill us because she intends to bring us to their main headquarters for interrogation. Thus, she will be needing us alive.

'So, Please! Hold your ground!' Oliver reminded his fellow werewolves through their mind-link.

Prince Ivan growled in anger.

Burying his paws to the ground due to his frustration and anger.

Georgie stepped forward, thinking for a way to take down the huntress.

Circling and moving his way to opposite direction of Prince Ivan. In order to surround the huntress.

'Georgie! No! Don't be stupid like Lance who doesn't use his brain. Think this over!' Scarlett begged to Georgie through the mind-link.

'Don't worry, this is just in case … she does something stupid against Chloe. One wrong move for her, then she will have her head rolling on the floor.' Georgie replied Scarlett.

'It's alright, Scarlett! Surrounding her will be a rational and strategic move. This will give us a standing chance as well if ever she makes a mistake in taking out Chloe.' Oliver agreed with Georgie's plan.

'Not even you too, Oliver! I thought you are the most clever in the team?' Scarlett pointed out.

'Scarlett! She has only two hands and two whips. Having me behind her will give us a better chance winning against. IF EVER she chooses to take out Chloe.' Oliver explained to the she-wolf.

As the three werewolves surround Tess, carefully waiting for the next move of the huntress.

Lance was still trying to recover from his wound due to his careless move.

While Scarlett was taking care of him through caressing his fur with the use of her muzzle.

The warmth from a mate amplifies the regenerating abilities of any werewolf.

She had to do this in order for the regenerating ability of Lance to work better because somehow it got weakened from the effect of the silver nitrate and wolfsbane.

'I am already wounded and you are calling me stupid in front of others.' Lance complained as he whimpered close to Scarlett.

'Stop being a baby, Lance! I was telling the truth. You usually jump to battles without thinking. Male werewolves like you need some reminding from she-wolves like me.' Scarlett retorted.

Biting the ears of Lance after reprimanding him.

'Ow! I am injured babe! Don't bite my ears off …' Lance whimpered while Scarlett kept caressing Lance using her own muzzle.

Both mates were on the corner while things got more intense between Chloe and Tess.

Tess stood over confident and gripped the handle of her whip tightly for another lashing.

Each step of Tess becomes more intensified.

She also anticipated every movement of the werewolves surrounding her.

"Let's try and give you some more lashing." Tess issued a threat to provoke the werewolves around her.

And Tess was completely right.

When she tried to bluff in lashing Chloe.

Just to provoke Prince Ivan and the other werewolves.

Right before she could even move or initiate any attack.

Prince Ivan leaped first

"GOTCHA!" Tess smirked sinisterly as she achieved her plans.

The royal prince received an extremely powerful lash and the right whip got wrapped into his neck.

And then Georgie tried to pounce, aiming his claws towards the huntress.

"Nah, ah!" Tess caught Georgie right on time and choked him with her left whip.

Both Prince Ivan and Georgie got constricted by the anti-magic weapon of Tess.

Oliver thought he could attack her from behind but Tess was also expecting another attack from behind.

Her incredible strength allowed her to use the wolf form of Prince Ivan and Georgie as a blocking shield from the supposed surprise attack of Oliver.

Utilizing her uncanny strength and anti-magic weapons, the trio fell to the ground knocked out.

Sounds of whimpering from the three werewolves could be heard.

Scarlett was surprised seeing the three get beaten down and knocked out by one female hunter.

'This is bad! She is not a human! Handling a powerful witch and three werewolves alone.' Scarlett uttered in her surprise.

Lance tried to stand from his position.

But Scarlett used her weight to stop her mate from joining the battle without fully regaining his strength.

'You are not going anywhere mister!' Scarlett stopped Lance.

'But … they need help!' Lance replied through their connection in mind-link.

'You are not gonna help them! You will only be a liability. If you want to help, regenerate quickly!' Scarlett did not allow her mate to join the fight while he has not regained his full strength.

As the mate of Lance, she knows when her mate has fully regained his strength.

Combination of silver nitrate and wolfsbane is a fatal substance against any werewolf.

Having only few in the bloodstream of a werewolf can weaken a werewolf tremendously.

Fortunately for Lance, the presence and warmth of Scarlett amplifies his regenerating ability.

Allowing him to recover despite the fatality of his wound.

Tess gave a victorious smirk and proud stature.

Lashing the three furthermore despite being already knocked out.

Remembering Chloe, Tess intended to finish her showdown against Chloe.

Since she was able to immobilize her for a moment through the effects of her anti-magic weapon.

As she turned around, a sharp strike on her left wrist and then on her right.

Making her let go of the anti-magic weapons on her hand.

Swiftly, Chloe used this opportunity to cast her spell against Tess.

Completely taken by surprise, Tess was greatly dumbfounded and had no time to process what just happened.

"Sleep! My dear huntress!" Chloe finally completed the incantation of her spell and put Tess to sleep.

The huntress fell to the ground unconscious after Chloe did her sleeping spell which was taught by Susan.

Sleeping spells were not easy spell to learn.

Unknown to Tess, Chloe used her healing spell and borrowed the magic property which was embedded to the twin daggers on her hand which she used to transfer the effects of the anti-magic weapon.

In addition to that, Prince Alarick tried communicate with Chloe using the mind-link and asked what was happening with her. Since they have completed the mating process, both have the access to communicate through mind-link even far from each other.

Prince Alarick volunteered to take the full effect of Chloe's ailment at the moment so she could move.

And got reminded about what Scarlett found back in the mansion.

Which was the twin long daggers, originally belonged to Selene.

Before leaving for the mission, Scarlett gave the twin daggers to Chloe just in case they would need it for tracking Selene.

Something precious which belonged to her, including the laced ribbon which Chloe tied around her wrist.

Using the weapon of her best friend to initiate her own plan to defeat the huntress.

Successfully, she pulled it off.

"Just so you know … reminding you once more, I AM NO ORDINARY WITCH!" Chloe remarked towards the unconscious huntress.

Immediately, Chloe tend to the wounds of her friends and casted a healing circle for the three werewolves.

"Thank you guys for the help!"

Meanwhile …

Back in the penthouse of Melody.

President Tony's daughter was having difficulty in dealing with the smitten Lucas.

Following Melody wherever she goes.

Always looking out for her.

Helping her.

Not leaving her on her own.

Even in showers, he waits outside the cover sheets.

Annoying Melody with the extreme behavior of Lucas.

Until it was too much for her.

"WILL YOU GIVE ME SOME SPACE?" Melody yelled at Lucas.

Lucas was surprised to see Melody mad and irritated.

"Oh ... I am sorry if I annoy you." Lucas looked defeated and gave Melody what she wanted.

For a moment Melody felt bad for Lucas because of how he looked as he left the room.

But she stood her ground and wanted space from him.

"Damn … Malia's brother is intense! My God!" Melody pacing back and forth after locking her door.

…

…

Suddenly, the arrival of Ben and the others surprised Lucas.

"What happened? Why Freddie looks awful?" Lucas wondered.

Elle had no time to explain.

"I guess your Malia's brother?" Elle told Lucas.

"Yes, why is it?"

"Leave here now with your mate. Chloe and the other bunch of werewolves are on their way to fetch this rogue werewolf. Somehow, you are their second target for their mission. I had to go here to warn you." Elle directly warned Lucas with no hesitations.

Lucas was speechless but at the mention of Chloe and her team means trouble for him.

He understood the weight of urgency to leave.

"Wear this to cover your tracks. Though, I cannot promise what happens next. This is all I can do now." Elle revealed to Lucas.
