Marko sensed Zack's confusion and asked, "Zack, are you still there? Can you hear me?"
"I'm here; I can hear you," Zack replied tersely. After that, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and Zack felt the weight on his shoulders grow heavier. He knew he had to make a decision about how to handle his friends' arrival while also addressing his feelings for Emily. "So, what now?" Marko asked, seeking clarification. "Yeah, come over!" Zack said, forcing the words out. Zack didn’t feel fully prepared, but he knew that rejecting them would only increase the tension. With that decision, he hoped to confront his feelings and perhaps gain the support he needed. While waiting for their arrival, his thoughts drifted back to Emily and how to fix the situation that had unfolded. After some small talk and then hanging up the phone, Zack sat on his bed. He tossed his phone behind him, and it landed on theZack felt a bit pressured by the attention his friends were giving him. He knew they cared, but right now, he was still grappling with his own feelings. On one hand, he wanted to open up and share, but on the other, shame and uncertainty made him reluctant to speak. Caught between the desire to be honest and the fear of appearing weak, Zack struggled to find the right words to explain his situation. "No, no, I'm fine. Maybe you're just misunderstanding. I'm just feeling a bit tired after the event this afternoon," Zack lied, trying to mask his true thoughts. "Oh, about that, I thought you..." Freddy started but trailed off. "Just say it, Freddy, don’t hold back!" Stefan urged with a grin. Zack felt a slight relief hearing his friends’ banter, even though he was still wrestling with his feelings inside. He hoped that a little humor might lighten the mood, allowing him to hide all that troubled him. However, he knew that his
Zack felt the need to share his unease with Marko, whom he trusted more than Freddy and Stefan. In his mind, Marko was someone who could keep his secret from Emily. With complete trust, Zack began to speak, expressing all his feelings without any reservations. He talked about his confusion and fears regarding his feelings for Emily, as well as his worries that revealing them would ruin everything. Marko listened attentively, providing support without judgment. Zack felt a wave of relief wash over him after finally being able to share his thoughts.

"Who is she?" Marko whispered to Zack in a very soft voice. "I don’t know. Let’s just watch for now and not disturb her by approaching too soon!" Zack suggested, trying to focus on the face that was still buried in her arms. They both remained hidden in the bushes, observing carefully. The sadness etched on the wolf girl’s face became increasingly apparent, and Zack felt his heart stir. Marko looked at Zack, realizing they needed to find out more before making any decisions. Patiently, they waited, hoping the figure would give them a clue about what was happening, while trying to maintain their distance so as not to interrupt her profound moment of sorrow. The wolf girl's fur appeared wilted and wet, as if she had just been drenched in water. The sound of her sobs felt increasingly heart-wrenching, amplifying the somber atmosphere. This wolf girl seemed to be overwhelmed, as if she were being crushed by a significant proble
Though initially frightened, she tried to dismiss her fear. With a loud voice, Emily declared that she was not afraid of the strange noises. Her bravery indicated that she wanted to confront the situation, even though her heart was still racing. "I don't care who you are, monster or vampire, I don't care!" Emily asserted, her voice steady and filled with newfound courage.In that moment, she realized that there was nothing left to fear in this world. To her, the true horror lay in her own unfortunate fate, not in the creatures that haunted her. Life had been a series of nightmares since childhood, and now she felt ready to confront whatever came her way.With every word, she felt the weight of her past lifting, replaced by a fierce determination. No longer would she be a victim of her circumstances; she was prepared to stand her ground and face anything, no matter how terrifying. The world might be filled with monsters, but Emily was ready to fight back, fuel
Feeling that there was no place to hide from all this, she ran away to a quiet place, hoping to cry her heart out. There, she mourned her unfortunate and sad fate, feeling trapped in a sadness that never subsided. The pain ate away at her soul, as if there were no way out of all the cruelty she had experienced. In silence, tears flowed, indicating the weight of the burden she had to bear.When she found Marko and Zack in this situation, Emily felt as if the four alphas had conspired to trick her. Her mind was filled with disgust and anger, realizing that their treatment was too much.The trust she once had began to fade, replaced by deep disappointment. All of their actions felt like part of an evil plan to make her suffer. Emily felt trapped in a game she never wanted, and her desire to get away from them all grew stronger. Her depression deepened, as if there were no hope of finding peace in her life again."So, the four of you deliberately conspired to
Zack and Marko were still reeling from Emily's departure. They felt lost, unsure of what actions to take next to reach her. Zack had run out of ideas on how to earn her forgiveness. He sensed that Emily was impenetrable and hard, as if she had built a thick wall around her heart.However, Zack understood. Emily's difficult and winding life journey had shaped her personality. The pain she had experienced made her cautious, and Zack knew that to approach her, they needed to better understand and respect her boundaries. In the silence following Emily's exit, Zack resolved to find a better way to show his care and support, even though the path ahead felt daunting.Zack looked at Marko, seeing doubt and resignation on his friend's face. Marko asked, "Zack, how are we going to make Emily trust us?" His voice was filled with despair, as if all hope had faded.Zack felt a heavy weight on his chest. They had tried hard, but all their efforts seemed futile. Emily's
Both teams needed to find a way to collaborate, despite the tension overshadowing their meeting. Zack knew he had to quickly explain his good intentions and how they could all contribute to helping Emily.Freddy raised his chin and asked, "Where have you been?"Stefan added, clearly annoyed, "We’ve been looking for you guys, I mean Freddy and I!"However, Marko and Zack didn’t respond to Freddy and Stefan’s questions.

Without saying a word, they headed to Zack's room to rest, ignoring the lingering tension in the air.Meanwhile, Freddy and Stefan exchanged glances, puzzled by their friends' sudden behavior. Confusion and discomfort enveloped them, prompting questions about what was happening within their group.

Marko didn’t respond at all. Instead, he pretended to be asleep, trying to ignore the question. Inside, he felt trapped in a complicated situation, not wanting to engage further in a conversation that could trigger tension.The atmosphere in the room fell silent again, only the sound of Zack's calm breathing could be heard.

Freddy frowned, trying to understand the situation, while Stefan attempted to act relaxed despite sensing that something was off.Marko remained pretending to be asleep, try
However, this relationship was not without complications. Amber, feeling threatened by this second marriage, began to plot ways to maintain her position and power. She felt that if Emily and Zack's father reunited with his true love, she would lose not only her status in the pack but also the sense of security she had enjoyed. This fear drove her to take actions that led to manipulation and intrigue.At that time, Zack and Emily's father's marriage to their mother resulted from love that had been obstructed by previous political demands. The two partners had been separated due to an agreement that required Zack and Emily's father to marry Amber. Even though it was forced, they entered that marriage hoping that one day they could reunite.However, the situation became more complicated when Amber felt she had to do something to maintain the power she had built. In her mind, if she didn’t take drastic measures, she would lose everything she had fought for. The pressur
Marko raised his hand, trying to calm the atmosphere. "Listen to this! Let the recordings explain what really happened.

He could feel his heart racing, but he knew this was an important moment.Carefully, Marko pressed the play button on his phone. The sound of the recording began to flow, filling the room with a conversation full of tension.

Marko noticed Zack's expression change, from confusion to deep anxiety. He knew that what was captured in the recording wasn't just words but a warning of the dangers that threatened them. In his heart, Marko hoped t
Marko quickened his pace to reach Zack's house as soon as possible. Although Luna and Amber's allies had lost his trail, he still felt his breath was unstable. Slowly, the fur on his body returned to its normal size, but the tension within him had not fully dissipated. Marko realized that his position was still vulnerable. He couldn't breathe easy until he met Zack and Emily to reveal all the secrets he had witnessed. Each heartbeat felt rapid, and his mind was filled with images of Amber's meeting with those mysterious individuals. "I have to get to Zack's house soon!" he thought urgently. He continued walking through the quiet streets, trying to ignore the fatigue that was starting to creep in. Every step carried the heavy burden of information, and he knew that time was not on his side. Anxiety haunted him again. The decision to share what he knew was a risky step, but he understood it was the only way to protect himself and the people
Meanwhile, Zack was making a group call on his phone to his friends, confirming that the party plan they had discussed earlier would take place this week. Zack was very enthusiastic about it because he felt bored and exhausted, especially with Connie’s increasing obsession with him. He just wanted to find some entertainment he could enjoy with his friends.Finally, the time for the small party at Zack's house was agreed upon by the four alphas who had just finished discussing. It was likely to be held in three days. Of course, they needed thorough preparation to ensure everything went as hoped. It couldn't be sudden and haphazard. They needed organized entertainment that would be perfectly executed and satisfying.Moments later, Marko arrived at Zack's house to deliver the props Zack had ordered as part of the party plans. However, as he entered the house and before he could head to Zack's room, he suddenly heard Amber speaking on the phone with someone. Marko reca
"I feel like everything seemed odd. When my father and I had our last encounter, I sensed something strange at that moment," Emily said, furrowing her brow. She felt an uncomfortable sensation enveloping that moment, even though everything appeared normal on the surface. Her instincts told her that something was amiss, even though she found it hard to explain what she meant."Odd?" Marko asked, increasingly intrigued.In her memory, they were talking about the future—hopes and dreams typically shared between a father and child.

Marko was taken aback by the honesty coming from Emily, who usually kept her feelings hidden. This time, Emily began to open up, seemingly ready to share her story.

She was still so young to face the harsh pressures surrounding her. Yet, Emily had become accustomed to navigating a world full of coercion, making her a strong individual despite her struggles. Marko wished there were a way to help her find her freedom without crossing any boundaries."I'm sorry, Marko. Perhaps my words have hurt you. But I mean no harm. I hope you understand my situation," Emily said, lowering her head. The atmosphere around them felt heavy, as if her words hung in the air.Marko was surprised to hear Emily apologize. He never expected this usually reserved
"Miss Connie, your parents advised you to control your emotions!" whispered one of her guards, moving closer to Connie's position. Connie froze after hearing her guard's whisper, her hand still raised to grab Emily’s hair. In an instant, she paused to think and finally released her grip. Quickly, Connie led her friends away from the scene, leaving the crowd in silence.

"If you dare to confront Connie, your fate as an alpha is at risk. I will remove you from the family list!"
