Alph and Trevor were seating in Trevor's badly lit sitting room, a dense quietude dropping between them. Martin lay full-length on the couch, paging through a futile magazine. The discourse was melancholy, centered on the killings of people in those woods, which had rather ceased for no reason five days ago.

"The killings have stopped, but that does not mean we should become complacent," he said, his tone steady. "The threat could still be out there, waiting to strike again."

Martin nodded grimly. "Of course. This will not be a time to get complacent. We have to be on our guard."

Alph leaned forward, his eyes sharp. "Have you heard anything about the new student who transferred into Coreen's group?"

Trevor shook his head. "Nope. Why?”

Martin looked up from his magazine. "If Coreen agreed to him, there was more to do with him. But to be honest, I am not familiar with the fellow."

Alph had a tormented look. "Tomorrow, we have to trail him at 6 p.m. on his way to the music store."

    "Funny," Alph answered with distaste in his voice. "I was just about to say the same to you."Terrible tension—two of them sizing each other up, sizing each other up. Alph could feel the raw power that seeped out of Leo, but he didn't flinch. He had faced worse before, and he was not about to be yanked back down now.Trevor's battle with the wolf of height was an intensive one; they were matching stride for blow. His strength was supreme, yet his opponent would not let up, attacking with a ferocity hard to answer. Alph knew that they had to end his bout quickly if they were to help Trevor.Unexpectedly fast, Leo's wiry companion lunged at Alph. Quicker though, he leaped to one side as he let out a powerful strike at the wolf's side, ramming him against a nearby tree. The wolf shook off the impact, but Alph was already atop him. He clutched the wolf's throat, jerking him to the ground, letting air out of him in one loud thud.And then again, Leo had half-changed, the eyes holding some

    Fitfully, Maxine tossed and turned in her bed. Sleep was restless and unpeaceful. Then, the darkness behind her closed eyelids suddenly gave way to a scene that she was trying to forget—a dense and shadowy forest extending endlessly in every direction. The air was fraught with tension, and oppressive silence was torn only by the faint rustle of leaves and the howling of wolves somewhere in the distance.She found herself standing at the edge of a familiar clearing—the same place where she had followed Leo only days before. The moon cast an eerie glow over the landscape and illuminated the figures emerging from the shadows: Leo, his face twisted in a sinister smile, and a group of wolves with eyes that shone unnaturally in the dark. The threat of them was palpable, and Maxine's heart raced, pounding in her chest as she watched them.In the dream, Leo wasn't a boy she knew—or thought she knew. He was different, his aura darker, full of menace. The wolves that surrounded him seemed to ta

    Maxine's pen stayed suspended above her notebook as her struggles to focus on the lecture were clearly written across her face. Her eyes continued darting around the classroom, searching for just about any sign of Leo, but he was nowhere to be found. Anxiety mounted with every empty seat in the back. "Where is he? Why isn't he here?" she wondered.It was almost as if the nightmare was one of the reasons for his absence, some sort of predication by her subconscious. But that couldn't be right, could it? Dreams didn't foretell the future but were rather an assortment of thoughts and fears. Still, the unease gnawed at her, making it nearly impossible to concentrate.As the class came to a close with the ringing of the bell, Maxine gathered her stuff together and filed out of the room, lost in a swirl of questions. Instead of feeling relief at the last day of school and looking forward to summer break, it felt like a countdown toward something from which there was no escape.As she made

    It was just the normal chatter that one always encountered at the end of a school day, bouncing off the walls and echoing in every nook and cranny of the cafeteria. The kids just lounged around, taking those last tidbits of school life before summer break. The air was heavy with the odor of cafeteria food and the implicit excitement of freedom just around the bend. But the normal buzz was interrupted by a sharp intake of collective breath from Coreen's circle as she flourished a sleek, black ticket between her fingers."Check it out," she said, her voice full of smugness. "I'm the fifth student who got a ticket to the Howling Hunt for next year."The gasp ran through the group, a ringed circle around her, eyes agog in an awed mixture. The Howling Hunt was just the most prestigious event in their world, an exclusive competition to which only the crème de la crème were invited to participate. It was a test of abilities, guile, and raw power, almost a rite of passage for those wolves tha

    The next day, Coreen woke with a renewed sense of determination. She dressed quickly, her mind focused on the task ahead. Getting Alph’s shoes would be the first step, but it wouldn’t be the last. She would unravel whatever secrets Leo had hinted at, and she would use them to her advantage.As she made her way to school, Coreen couldn’t shake the feeling that something big was on the horizon, something that would change everything. But she pushed the thought aside, focusing instead on her plan.By the time she reached the school gates, her confidence had returned. She was ready, prepared to do whatever it took to stay on top. And if Maxine thought she could outshine her, she was in for a rude awakening.Coreen’s day passed in a blur of planning and plotting. She avoided Maxine, not wanting to tip her hand too soon. Instead, she focused on gathering information, subtly probing for any details she could use.Finally, as the school day ended, Coreen slipped out of the building, her heart

    Maxine's eyes fluttered open, reluctantly responding to the soft but insistent voice of her mother. The room was still dim, the curtains barely filtering in the early morning light. She squinted at the clock on her bedside table-6:30 AM. "Maxine, breakfast is ready," her mother called again, soft but firm as always. One could never argue with her mother's wake-up calls.Maxine sat up groggily, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Her sleep had been fitful, troubled by vague, unsettling images that vanished the moment she tried to remember them. She pushed the thoughts aside, knowing she had to face the day.It was the freshly brewed aroma of coffee and something savory baking that coursed through the house, drawing her out of bed. She got quickly dressed, still mostly asleep, and trod along the hall to the dining area. Her steps were lagging, her mind not awake, until the moment she saw Alph entering the room; then she straightened up, smoothing hair and clothes.Alph moved into the cabi

    The morning sun was low in the sky, casting a golden hue across the tranquil beach. The waves lapped softly against the shore, their rhythmic sound soothing to the ears. Maxine found herself walking beside Sarah, the sand shifting warmly beneath their feet. It was a rare moment of peace, one that had not been hers in what felt like ages. No Coreen, no bullies, no stress—just the two of them, the sea, and the sky.Maxine breathed a sigh of relief as the weight of her usual worries seemed to lighten for the moment. She had thrown on her favorite oversized hoodie, which hung loosely over her frame, shielding her from the cool breeze. Sarah, on the other hand, wore a tank suit, her carefree attitude mirrored in her choice of attire.“Maxine, aren’t you hot?” Sarah asked, turning to her friend with a teasing smile. “I mean, you could wear shorts and a shirt, you know? We’re not at school, and it’s a beautiful day.”Maxine tugged at the sleeves of her hoodie, casting a sideways glance at Sa

    The night had fallen softly upon the beach, waves lapping at it in a soothing rhythm that joined with the crackling campfire. The warmth of the fire presented an agreeable contrast to the cool evening breeze; its dancing light fluttered across the faces around it. The air was thick with scents of grilled meat and the faraway salty tang of the sea.Sarah had gone off a lot sooner than she normally did, a spring in her legs as she hastened to get back to the beach house. Her mum was going into labor with her second child, and Sarah wanted to be among the first to welcome her little brother to the world. Maxine had decided to stay behind, irresistibly called by the peacefulness of the night. She found herself sitting on the wooden stairs at the beach house and stared at the fire, crackling, popping.She could see her mom and Alph's dad talking animatedly by the fire—getting along real well. They laughed a lot, and the stories sounded good. The smile came softly to Maxine's lips. It was n

    Thirteen Years Later…."Maxine, your daughter was found in the woods," the messenger said his voice quivering in shock and disbelief. "It's not confirmed yet, but the healer said her blood matches yours. It is … from your bloodline."Maxine froze, the aching ache of longing in her chest now replaced by the flicker of hope that she hadn't felt for years. She had scoured the earth for Hannah, year after year, refusing to let go of hope. The pack continued to move forward, living and thriving, but for Maxine, her heart was suspended in time. Since Hannah was taken from her by Leo, nothing in her life had held the promise of joy ever again.Rededicating herself, Maxine sped off to the healer's chambers. As she entered, her breath caught in her throat. There lay, on the bed, a young woman who resembled she had been taken from the very pages of Maxine's memory—a young Hadzen, her son, at the age that had passed since his own existence. This young woman was carrying his features that so clos

    Hannah P.O.V.It was going to be perfect. Tonight. I wore my white dress. Wildflowers clutched in my hand. The heartbeats in my chest are not from fear but with excitement. It's going to be the beginning of our new life. Now he stood before me at the altar, his face alight with a radiant smile as he looked out at me as if I were his entire world, the small circle of his family smiling warmly to engulf me in a feeling of belonging that, up to now, I had never known."Victor," I panted, barely above a whisper. This was it. We were here finally, about to promise our lives to each other. Away from the craziness, away from the world of packs and politics, we had found a haven within the humans. We could just. exist. Love. Grow.But I could take only one step in his direction when a sound pierced the stillness, like a knife. A heavy thud of paws on earth. My body tensed, my instincts screaming at me. I knew that sound. Wolves.They descended upon us before I even had time to react.The cere

    Days slipped by, going to waste and slipping past one another in that little village where Lenor and her family dwelled. Hannah could see reason in her new life; she curled up in their little house in the warm spots and clutched a blanket she had spotted the first night there - light in scent with a fragrant smell of lavender - which Lenor brought home those aspects of comfort after years of love and care.In those early days, her quiet sobs filled the home, breaking the silence every morning and night. Only Victor, the ten-year-old boy who found her by the riverbank, could sometimes pull her out of her sadness." Hadzen…," she would whisper the name of her brother, softly, as if a fragile yet determined voice; as if saying it may somehow bring him closer: "Hadzen… "Victor would sit there, looking at her with a tearful light of sadness and determination in his eyes. He didn't understand the depth of her pain but could see how much she was hurting, and he wanted to help. After digging

    "Hadzen!"The hysterical voice echoed through the night as Hadzen leapt out of bed his heart pounding. He could hardly see the figure in the darkness on the balcony but he knew he wouldn't mistake that shriek."Hannah!" he yelled jumping to his feet as his twin sister's body was dragged away by a tall, dark figure.Looking over his shoulder, he flashed Hadzen a derisive smile before leaping over the balcony. "Catch you later, Hadzen."He plunged into darkness with Hannah's screams."HANNAH!" Hadzen shouted, sprinting toward the balcony-but she was already gone."Hadzen! Wake up!" his mother cried in a panic, shaking him out of dazed shock.Hadzen blinked, dazed. To his left was his mom, Maxine, crying, her face streaked with tears, scared. His father, Alph, paced around the room, scanning everywhere, up and down."Where's Hannah?" Hadzen stuttered his words, his voice thick with panic. He looked to the bedside he shared with Hannah; she was gone."M-mom. she was here, right next to me

    Five years had passed since then, and the children's laughter was again louder, as Hannah and Hadzen played with their cousin Dylan under the great oak tree in the courtyard of their estate, a warm afternoon spent in sheer energy as the three children ran round the great oak tree in the garden."Hannah! Slow up, wait for me!" he yelled as he chased after her as she plunged toward the tree. He had just been bumped by Tylan, their family friend, and was laughing as he tried to catch up with Hannah who always seemed faster."Catch me if you can, Dylan!" she laughed as her brown curls bounced and she climbed higher into the branches of the tree.Hadzen sat on a nearby bench, with a book in his lap, reading and looked up from his story with a frown. "Hey, don't be so noisy!" he said sternly.Hannah stopped half-way up the tree, looked down to Dylan who stood under, panting. The two looked at each other, their mischievous grins even as they understood each other without words — this was som

    Eight months had passed since the arrival of her twins, Hannah and Hadzen, and the house was full of baby laughter and gentle cooing. Sunbeams streamed through the windows as she sat on the floor playing with Hannah cradled in her arms. "Dada, tell him Dada," Maxine said, nodding towards Alph, who was sitting nearby cuddling their son Hadzen.Hannah's look remained steady, directed up at Alph as her mouth worked on the syllables with a visible effort. "Da-ah," she said, her voice unstable but clear enough to send a shiver down Maxine's spine.Maxine opened her eyes widely in amazement. "Oh my gosh! You spoke!" she squealed, hugging Hannah closer. "That is my baby girl, such a rapid learner!Not to be outdone, Alph grinned and held Hadzen aloft in the air, bouncing him lightly. "Okay, little man, let's show your mom what you've got. Can you say 'Ma-ma'?"`Hadzen was shrieking with laughter as Alph twirled him around, his chubby little hands reaching up toward his dad. Though no words

    There she lay in the bed, her body now enervated but the spirit of her high and big. She could hear the softly crying sounds of her newborns-the twin babies that she had fought hard to bring into this world. They were perfect, tiny, with so much life within them. One boy, one girl. She already decided on the names: Hannah and Hadzen. And as she looked at them there, all rolled up in their cradles, they all seemed like such ordinary babies. Their innocence filled the room, and it was quite impossible to believe that so much danger still surrounded them.Her heart hurts to love and to worry for them. She was a mother now, and truly, she wanted to be able to protect them. However, at the back of her mind is the warning her mother had given her: the curse of the eclipse essence. It still lingers over her, over her family. She needed to know the truth.Coreen, her stepsister, stood in the same room with her maids. She had come to visit as soon as she heard about the birth, but Maxine could

    Miranda paced back and forth in the dimly lit room, her heart racing as she tried to keep her tears from falling. The weight of her decision was suffocating, and her chest tightened with every step she took. She glanced at Erick, her oldest and closest confidant, hoping he might have some way to ease the unbearable pain in her heart. But his face was set, his eyes focused."You know what will happen!" Miranda snapped, her voice breaking under the pressure. "I already told you that! This isn’t just some story or legend. It’s real, Erick."Erick leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. "I know, Miranda, I know. But we have to do it anyway. We don’t have many options left.""What options?" Miranda's voice was laced with frustration as she threw her hands into the air. "What way out do you think we have? I don’t want to lose Maxine! She’s the only one I have left." Her voice faltered as her fear took hold. "You know how dangerous it is to have the eclipse essence in one bloodline. I

    Maxine poured milk into a glass, watching it swirl before handing it to Coreen. She looked at her sister’s swollen belly, trying to imagine what it would be like to hold her own child in her arms.“So, you and Trevor?” Maxine asked, raising an eyebrow as she leaned against the counter.Coreen grinned, placing a hand on her round stomach. “I didn’t know I’d fall for that jerk, either,” she admitted with a laugh. “But he’s hot, I’ll give him that.”They both burst into laughter, the sound filling the small kitchen. It felt good to share a moment of levity, especially given how serious everything had become lately.“How many months now?” Maxine asked, her gaze flickering to Coreen’s belly as she took a sip from her own glass.“Eight,” Coreen replied, her voice casual despite the significance. “It all started after that one wild night, and well… it just kept going from there.”Maxine shook her head, smiling. “So, you’re about a month ahead of me, huh?
