Weeks gone by and after wallowing in her loss, Eve decided to pay Adam a visit.

“Are you out of your mind, Eve? They are wolves! Pure-blooded wolves! They are our enemies!” Khalid scolded her. Eve stand outside of the door where the boy sleeps peacefully with his little sister in his arms. “They are just children, Khalid. They know nothing.”“Nothing? Those animals, they were children too.

The vision around them paused and out of nowhere, their surroundings melted like hot candles. It made everyone worried seeing the ground beneath them rumbled. Everyone woke up, gasping and in full panic mode. Their chest heaving hard, causing Abram to rush towards Ariadne who was crying her eyes out.
