Tyler’s POVThe situation was growing more frustrating by the minute. We had been trying to reach Sophia for days, but every attempt seemed to lead to dead ends and vague excuses. It was unlike her to be so evasive, and it was starting to gnaw at my nerves. My younger brother, Jake, and I had sent countless messages and calls, but her responses had been hesitant, her words mumbling something about being abroad and not planning to return to work anytime soon.I paced back and forth in our makeshift headquarters, my frustration palpable. "This is getting ridiculous, Jake. She's never been this elusive before."Jake glanced up from his laptop, his brow furrowed in concentration. "I know, Ty. It's like she's intentionally avoiding us."I ran a hand through my hair, my frustration giving way to worry. "And where the hell is Sophia? His schedule shows he's been MIA for the past three days, and he's been inactive in human society too."Jake's eyes flicked to the screen, his fingers typing aw

Tyler”s POVI sighed, the weight of our predicament settling heavily on my shoulders. "Exactly. This version can mask our scent for about seven days at most. After that, it'll start to wear off."Jake's gaze met mine, determination burning in his eyes. "That should be enough time to get her back."I nodded in agreement, the plan forming in my mind. "We need to move fast, Jake. We can't afford any mistakes."He met my gaze, his resolve unwavering. "I'm with you, Ty. We're going to bring her back, no matter what."I offered a small smile, gratitude and determination mingling within me. "Alright, here's the plan. We use the scent-masking potion to conceal our presence as we infiltrate the werewolf territory."Jake's fingers tapped on the table, his mind already racing ahead. "And once we're there, we locate her and get her out."I leaned back in my chair, my fingers tapping against the tabletop as I considered the logistics. "Right. We need to be cautious, though. Werewolves have incredi

Tyler”s POVAs Jake followed the path indicated on the map, our surroundings gradually shifted. The dense misty woods began to thin, and before long, a broader road emerged from the shadows. A sense of relief washed over both of us as the forest gave way to a clearer path.Hours later, as the sun began to dip below the horizon, Jake's weariness became evident. He turned to me with a tired smile. "I think it's time for a rest stop. I could use a break."I nodded in agreement, my eyes drawn to the stunning scenery at the foot of the Shadow City mountains. It was a moment of tranquility amidst the tension of our mission.However, our moment of respite was suddenly interrupted by a woman's voice behind us. Her tone was assertive, almost prideful, as she questioned our presence. "Who are you, and what brings you here?"As we turned around to face the unfamiliar woman, my senses were on high alert. It was clear that she was a werewolf, and her presence added another layer of complexity to o

Emilia’s POVI raised an eyebrow, my curiosity piqued. "Passing through, huh? This is the heart of Shadow City's territory, you know."The one on the right nodded, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of his lips. "Yeah, we got a bit lost."I let out a chuckle, my eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and skepticism. "Lost? In these woods?"Their responses were lighthearted, but there was an undercurrent of something else that I couldn't quite pinpoint. Their presence here was odd, and my instincts were telling me that there was more to the story than they were letting on.I crossed my arms, leaning against a tree as I studied them both. "So, what brings you handsome strangers to our territory?"The one on the left exchanged a quick glance with his twin before responding. "We're residents of Shadow City."I arched an eyebrow, my amusement growing. "Residents? And yet, I've never seen you before."Their expressions remained guarded, and I couldn't shake the feeling that they wer

Alexander’s POVAs I sat in my study, reviewing some reports and plans for the Shadow City, Ethan's entrance caught my attention. His demeanor was composed but there was a hint of urgency in his expression. I leaned back in my chair, giving him my full attention."Ethan, what's the matter?" My voice was calm yet expectant.He cleared his throat, his gaze meeting mine. "Emilia has returned to Shadow City, and she's brought two men with her."I raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. Emilia was known for her spontaneity, but this seemed out of character even for her. "Two men? What's her explanation for their presence?"Ethan's lips quirked into a half-smile. "She claims they're new residents of Shadow City."I leaned forward, my interest growing. New residents were a rarity, especially ones that Emilia would willingly vouch for. "New residents, you say?"He nodded, his expression holding a mixture of amusement and skepticism. "Yes, it seems so."A smirk tugged at the corner of my lips. "E

Alexander’s POV A triumphant glint lit up Emilia's eyes, and she reached into her pocket, producing a small recording device. With a flourish, she held it up, her tone confident. "I've managed to gather some information about the Rogues." The mention of the Rogues had everyone's attention, and my grandfather leaned forward with curiosity. "Well done, Emilia. You've certainly earned your reward." Emilia's smile turned sly as she looked directly at me. "Ah, about that reward. How about you finally fulfill your promise and use a hotel as compensation?" My lips thinned in reluctant agreement. The promise she was referring to had been a playful bet made weeks ago, involving a unique form of compensation. My gaze shifted to my grandfather, who chuckled heartily at Emilia's audacity. Sophia's laughter joined in, her amusement evident. "Well, Emilia," my grandfather chortled, "I must say, you certainly have a way of keeping things interesting." Emilia's smirk only grew, a glimmer of misc

Sophia’s POVAs Emilia concluded her presentation on the Rogues, a palpable seriousness settled over the hall. The gathered werewolf elders, including Alexander and his grandfather, absorbed the gravity of the situation. It was evident that the threat posed by the Rogues was substantial, and the implications for Shadow City were dire.As Alexander asked us to leave the hall, I exchanged a quick glance with Emilia. It was clear that the conversation that followed required a level of confidentiality that extended beyond our roles as witnesses. With a nod of understanding, Emilia and I made our way out, leaving the elders to their deliberations.Once outside, Emilia's demeanor shifted back to its usual carefree and playful state. She flashed me a mischievous smile and suggested, "Hey, since we're not needed in there, there's a bar not too far from here. They've got these incredibly attractive male models serving drinks. Care to join me for a drink or two?"I chuckled at her proposition,

Sophia’s POVMy heart raced as I stood there facing Tyler and Jake, my mind a whirlwind of emotions. The circumstances were far from ideal, and their presence in Shadow City only added to my anxiety. The werewolves here were not known for their warm welcome towards humans, and the thought of Alexander finding out about Tyler and Jake being here was enough to make my heart race."Why are you here?" I blurted out, unable to contain the worry in my voice.Tyler exchanged a quick glance with Jake before responding, his expression serious. "We were worried about you. You disappeared, and we couldn't reach you. We had to make sure you were safe."Jake chimed in with a playful grin, attempting to ease the tension. "Yeah, we thought maybe you found yourself a handsome boyfriend."I shot Jake a disapproving look, not appreciating his attempt at humor. "This is serious, Jake."Tyler's gaze met mine, his eyes filled with concern. "We're not here to cause trouble, but we need to know you're okay.
