The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: A New Beginning

The news spread like fire. By morning, it was on every headline.

"The witch who killed alphas is dead!"

The whole werewolf community buzzed. From the smallest packs to the strongest packs, it was the only talk. Markets, taverns, council halls... all carried the same whispers.

"They say she lost her life in the Silver Dawn Pack."

"Finally! The curse on alphas is broken."

"The bitch who hunted us is no more."

The words echoed everywhere. And above all, the glory was given to the four Alpha Dusk Draven, the Alphas of Silver Dawn Pack. The council was already moving to honor them, to praise them highly for their bravery.

The name of the dead witch slid from lip to lip, and all her information was known to the public.

"Her name was Selene..."

And when that name passed through the crowd, shivers ran down spines. Some said it with hatred, others with fear. But all agreed—her reign of terror was over.

The witch had fallen.

The alphas had won.
