âRick, I curse you to suffer a terrible fate!â
In her final moments of fury and despair, Wilma glared at Rick, hatred burning in her eyes.
As the flames closed in, a sinister red gleam flickered in her gaze.
âRick, your family will turn on you.
Theyâll plot to kill you and take your place.
Go and kill them.
Go aheadâ¦â
Influenced by Wilmaâs curse, Rick began to harbor dark thoughts of betrayal against his own family.
Yet, Rick was unaware of the seed of paranoia planted within him.
Watching Wilma consumed by flames, he felt a misguided sense of resolution, believing he had eliminated all threats to his future.
âFinally, all problems are resolved.
Now, I can look forward to a peaceful future.
â
Rick returned to his pack and life with Laurel, enjoying the fruits of Wilmaâs efforts, showing no remorse for his actions.
But then, tragedy struck.
Influenced by Wilmaâs curse, Rick impulsively murdered Laurel and their child.
When he came to his senses, he was greeted by their lifeless bodies and the blood-soaked floor.
âARIâ
Rick was overwhelmed with despair.
He was adamant that Wilma was responsible for this horror.
Enraged, he commanded, âGuards! Hunt down all the witches! Eliminate every one of them, regardless of their bloodline! Theyâre all malevolent beings!â
To hide his own culpability, Rick altered the historical narrative, claiming an evil witch had lured him into committing these heinous acts.
After Laurelâs and their childâs deaths, Rick had other mates and children, but due to Wilmaâs curse, he ended their lives as well.
These incidents were never recorded in history.
Ultimately, Rick couldnât live with his guilt and chose suicide.
After he ingested poison and his heart stopped, time seemed to stand still.
âSo thatâs the truth!â
I was astounded by the revelations.
The real cause of the conflict between the Thorn Edge Pack and the witches was Rick himself.
It made sense now why Gale detested the Thorn Edge Pack to such an extent.
She was determined to annihilate the pack, regardless of the consequences.
