As Selene's days grew more complicated, her body began to betray her secret. It started with nausea in the mornings, but soon she found herself rushing to the bathroom at all hours. The sickness was relentless, and it wasn't long before her parents noticed.

One evening, as she sat at the dinner table, her mother’s concerned eyes met hers. “Selene, you haven’t been yourself lately. Are you feeling alright?”

Selene hesitated, her fork hovering over her plate. “I’m fine, just a little tired,” she lied.

Her father, always the more observant, narrowed his eyes. “This tiredness, is it why you’ve been so sick in the mornings?”

Selene's heart pounded. She had hoped to keep her symptoms hidden until she figured things out with Ethan, but now it seemed impossible. She swallowed hard and nodded.

Her mother’s face softened with worry. “Selene, if there’s something you need to tell us, you know we’re here for you.”

But it was her father’s voice, stern and unyielding, that cut through the air. “Who

    As the days stretched into weeks, Selene's attempts to reach Ethan grew more desperate. Each time she and Sia approached the palace gates, they were met with the same unwavering refusal from the guards.“We told you before,” one of the guards said firmly, “the Alpha has made it clear. You are not to enter.”“But it’s important,” Sia pleaded, frustration evident in her voice. “She needs to speak with him.”The guard shook his head. “I’m sorry. The orders are strict. No visitors.”Selene clenched her fists, fighting back tears of frustration. “Please,” she implored, “just let us in. It’s urgent.”The guard’s expression softened slightly, but his resolve remained firm. “I can’t. I’m sorry.”Defeated once again, Selene and Sia turned away, their hearts heavy with disappointment. They walked back home in silence, the weight of their situation pressing down on them.---Meanwhile, in his study, Ethan listened as the guards reported the latest attempt by Selene and Sia to gain entry. His jaw

You can't keep hiding the truth from us."Selene's eyes flashed with a golden hue, a sign of her werewolf side coming to the surface. "I told you, Father, I need time," she snapped, her voice tinged with a low growl."Time? You've had enough time!" her father retorted, slamming his fist on the table. "You're putting this family in danger with your secrecy."Her mother stepped in, her tone soothing but firm. "Henry, please, she'

    Back at Alpha Ethan's palace, tensions were running high. Ethan had grown increasingly irritable and unpredictable, his frustration boiling over into his interactions with those around him. His cousin Bella, who had been persistently questioning him about Selene, found herself on the receiving end of his anger."I don't want to hear another word about Selene," Ethan growled, his eyes blazing with barely controlled fury. "You are forbidden from seeing me until I say otherwise. Guards, ensure that Bella does not enter my study or my room under any circumstances."The guards exchanged uneasy glances but nodded in compliance. Bella, shocked and hurt, stared at Ethan, unable to comprehend his drastic change. "Ethan, this isn't you. You're pushing everyone away."Ethan's gaze hardened. "Leave, Bella. Now."Reluctantly, Bella turned and walked away, her heart heavy with worry and confusion. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was deeply wrong with Ethan, something beyond his frustr

    ---Ethan’s body shuddered as he leaned against the cold stone wall of his study. The isolation and stress were taking their toll, and he felt a fever building within him. His vision blurred, and he stumbled, catching himself on the edge of his desk. The sickness gnawed at his strength, weakening him in a way he hadn’t felt in years."Bella," he murmured, his voice barely a whisper. "I need Bella."Within minutes, Bella arrived, her face a mask of concern. "Ethan!" she exclaimed, rushing to his side. "You look terrible. What's happening?""It's...it's something inside me," Ethan said, his voice weak. "I can't fight it alone."Bella's eyes widened, recognizing the signs of a werewolf sickness, a rare but severe ailment. She called for Connor and the others, who quickly assembled in the study. "We need the werewolf treatment now," Bella ordered. "Bring the herbs and prepare the ritual."Connor nodded and hurried away, returning moments later with a small group carrying bowls of herbs, s

    We need a barrier to protect our camp," Henry said as they approached the witch's dwelling deep in the forest. The witch, an old ally of the pack, greeted them with a knowing smile."I can create a barrier that will keep the humans out," she said, her voice a blend of wisdom and power. "But it will require a significant amount of energy.""Do whatever it takes," Henry insisted. "We can't let this happen again."The witch nodded and began her incantations, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air. A shimmering barrier slowly enveloped the camp, its glow fading as it settled into place."This will protect you," the witch said, her eyes locking onto Henry's. "But I will come with you to face the hunters. My powers can dismantle their weapons and give you the advantage you need."Henry agreed, grateful for her support.

    As the night wore on, the house was eerily quiet. The aftermath of the attack left the Reynolds' home in shambles, but the resolve of its inhabitants was unbroken. They gathered in the living room, strategizing their next move."We need to find out where they're taking Mom," Selene said, her voice steady despite the turmoil within her. "There has to be a way to track them."Henry nodded. "We'll start with the local hunters' network. They must have a base or a hideout nearby.""I'll reach out to some of our allies," Sia added.
