Chapter 71: The Chained Wolf 5

The atmosphere in the living room was thick with tension, almost suffocating. Rafe's gaze on Faghri was intense, like an arrow aimed straight at its target.The air was charged, a silent standoff between two strong-willed men.Then, an elderly woman's voice, heavy with sorrow, broke the silence."Ani... she was always so full of life, so joyful," she reminisced, her eyes distant and clouded with memories. Though I knew the tragedy of Ani's parents' untimely deaths, it felt like pieces of their story were still missing."Ani's parents were the heart of our village," she continued, her voice shaking."Always the first to help, always there for everyone." Her words painted a vivid image of Ani's parents, pillars of kindness in the community."But everything changed after that day they went into the forest." Her voice faltered, heavy with a sorrow that had clearly never left her.She spoke of a mysterious illness that followed their forest excursion, an illness that ravaged them and left

Chapter 72: The Chained Wolf 6

I paced anxiously outside Ani's bedroom, the door yawning open to reveal the stark emptiness inside. "Ani's gone!" I yelled, the words bouncing off the walls, laden with panic. The old lady, usually so composed, was now a vision of sorrow, her eyes glistening with tears."Just a moment ago, she was here," I muttered, my mind racing with confusion and dread. Where on earth could Ani be?We tore through the house, our footsteps pounding in a frenzied search that turned up nothing but the stark reality of her absence.Extending our search to the neighbors yielded nothing but sympathetic shrugs and puzzled looks. It dawned on us with a sinking heart: we were at a dead end.A sudden thought struck me like a lightning bolt. "The grave!" I exclaimed, the idea dawning bright and clear."We need to check Ani's parents' grave." Understanding flashed in Rafe and Faghri's eyes, and we quickly set off.The cemetery greeted us with an eerie silence. Ani's parents' grave was meticulously tended, a

Chapter 73: The Chained Wolf 7

I leaned forward, curious about every detail.“Is there a fuller story to the legend of the chained wolf?” The words flowed from my mouth in a mixture of curiosity and admiration.The old woman, with wrinkles on her face that reflected stories, sighed heavily, as if the weight of the story was weighing on her soul.“You're looking for a taboo version, young Luna,” her voice is a whisper of the past.“This story… is a darker thread in the weave of our village. "A long time ago there lived a man and a woman who were deeply in love."Her eyes glowed with the flicker of an old flame.“But as the stories say, the village chief's son also fell in love with this girl. An ordinary girl entangled in a violent love triangle.:A pause hung in the air, thick with anticipation.“To sort out this tangle, a competition was organized. Each suitor was expected to make jewelry for the woman. An attempt at devotion.”The story took a turn as she leaned in closer.“The village chief's son knew the secret

Chapter 74: The Chained Wolf 8

The night air bit at my cheeks as we trudged back home without Ani. Silence weighed heavy on us, each lost in their thoughts. I glanced at Faghri and noticed his furrowed brow, a clear sign of his pensive mood."What's on your mind?" I broke the silence.Faghri hesitated, his gaze distant. "Remember the discussion near the grave today? It reminded me of something," he murmured.Intrigued, I leaned closer. "Which discussion?""The one about the bracelet," he said, his eyes flickering to something unseen.I was about to press for more when I noticed Rafe, seemingly uninterested but listening intently."Faghri, where did you get that bracelet again?" I inquired, trying to connect the dots.He shifted uncomfortably. "I found it in a cave in the forest. You remember, right? It was when I was being chased by those three wolves."My eyes widened. "Yes, I remember. Can you show it to me?"Faghri reached for his bag on the floor. He rummaged through it, his movements growing frantic. Suddenly,

Chapter 75: The Chained wolf 9

I stand alone in front of this old house feeling lost in a sea of thoughts. "Why does trouble keep finding me?" I whisper into the chilly night air feeling alone and worried. The air feels extra heavy tonight because we still haven't found Ani. Suddenly a strange yet pleasant smell drifts by. It's a mix of flowers and something else I can't quite name. It's unusual but it calms me. The fear that's been gnawing at me slowly starts to fade. I glance at the necklace I'm wearing. It's an antique piece that Rafe won at the auction. This necklace has a history of making eerie singing sounds at odd times. Driven by a sudden curiosity I bring it up to my nose. The same soothing scent is coming from it. But the scent doesn't just come from the necklace. It's floating around in the air too like an invisible path beckoning me to follow. Making up my mind I start walking quietly asking myself. "Where is this leading me?" As I walk the world around me suddenly goes dark. In this darkness

Chapter 76: The Chained Wolf 10

In the early morning's muted light my eyes slowly opened within the confines of the cave. A veil of surrealism hung in the air blurring the lines between the dream world and reality.I lay there for a moment letting my senses acclimate to this curious setting. My gaze eventually settled on Ani whose peaceful slumber seemed undisturbed.In her hand she held a bracelet its subtle glow casting a soft light in the dimness—a beacon of mystery in our shadowy refuge.I felt an urge gentle yet persistent to reach out to her. Whispering Ani's name I tried to lessen the distance between us but an unseen barrier held me back.Puzzled I tried once more yet the same invisible force denied me. A sense of unease began to creep in heightened by the sound of approaching footsteps echoing off the cave walls.The rhythm of these steps both foreign and oddly familiar quickened my heartbeat.I turned my pulse racing to confront the source of the noise. To my astonishment two wolves emerged from the shadow

Chapter 77: The Chained Wolf 11

In a dimly lit cave a sense of foreboding engulfed me as the wolf's intense eyes locked onto mine. Underneath its ferocity I detected a familiar undertone a secret teetering on the brink of revelation."Are you the Chained Wolf from the legends?" I asked my voice barely audible.The wolf's mouth curved into a human-like grin. In front of me it shimmered and morphed into a human form. My heart raced he resembled the being that had earlier possessed Rafe."Have you met another version of me?" he inquired his voice echoing in the cave.I frowned in confusion. "What do you mean by another version?"He sighed a sound filled with centuries of weariness. "In each life I fail endlessly wandering lost."His words painted a picture of his tragic existence. "Why have you brought me here?" I asked curiosity in my tone."To satisfy a curiosity." he said his gaze intense. "I've been watching you since you entered our territory.""What do you want to know about me?" I asked feeling his intense scrut

Chapter 78: The Chained Wolf 12

In the evening's dim glow I sit across from a man whose eyes hold deeper secrets than the night sky. His unnerving yet magnetic gaze draws me in.“The wolf who became the man told me about reincarnation” I start hesitantly.He leans forward a mysterious smile playing on his lips.“Reincarnation holds a secret” he whispers his voice a blend of intrigue and solemnity. Confused I frown. “What do you mean?”He pauses his eyes reflecting a past haunted by shadows.“An unfinished destiny lingered in your previous life” he says his tone heavy with unspoken stories.A chill runs down my spine as he continues “You have undergone twenty-three reincarnations and all ended in tragedy.”I press further unable to hold back.“What do you mean by that?”His face clouds over a storm brewing in his thoughts.Finally he reveals “A divine destiny exists in the concept of a Fated Mate one you should not resist.”My heart skips a beat. “What happened?”He sighs his voice laced with profound sadness.“A Gri

Chapter 79: The Chained Wolf 13

The cave's air was thick with an ancient foreboding energy. The three wolves in front of me their fur shimmering in the dim light appeared to be guardians of a terrifying and captivating world.The largest of them with fur as dark as the night sky locked his gaze on me with a physical force."You understand don't you?" The voice of the dark wolf echoed through the cave with an eerie almost human quality."The most dangerous of obsessions those born from past lives past reincarnations."I shivered not only from the coldness of the cave but also from the wolf's tone.Rafe struggling against an unseen force his body a battlefield for a presence that was not his own flashed through my mind.The wolf's eerie grin seemed to widen as if it could see right into the core of my fears."It's the seventh reincarnation" it said a low growl echoing off the stone walls. "And it's the most perilous of all."A knot formed in my stomach. "Why?" My voice was barely audible above the din of my own racing

The cave's icy chill pierced my skin banishing sleep to a distant realm.Time elusive and intangible seemed suspended in this shadowy abyss.Around me fireflies flickered their glow a solitary beacon in the darkness. With the arrival of morning a whisper broke my silence though daylight never reached this subterranean world.An ominous wolf a creature more shadow than flesh stood before me. It grinned wickedly declaring the start of its malevolent game."Today decides your fate" it taunted sending a wave of fear through me.Approaching the wolf's presence filled the cave with an oppressive air."Follow" it ordered.I complied my steps echoing against the stone floor. Leading the way the wolf's silhouette melded with the dim light from the fireflies.In the depths of the cave the wolf revealed an intruder in the forest."One" it answered my query.Anxiety surged within me. Was it Faghri a ghost from my past or Rafe the hope of my future?Stepping out of the cave the morning world was a
