We'll do our best to ensure a smooth and comfortable journey. Thank you for choosing our airline."The plane's engines roared to life, and it began its steady ascent into the sky. Sheila's face was as grave as the foreboding thunderclouds, her expression unyielding. But as the plane lifted off the ground, her tension began to dissipate. The takeoff was smooth, a gentle lift into the clouds.Sheila let out a silent sigh of relief. The plane had taken off, and that was all that mattered. Her rigid posture relaxed, and she leaned back into her seat. Closing her eyes, she allowed herself to unwind, the hum of the engines lulling her into a

Meanwhile, Levi, who was slumbering off on the couch, stirred, gradually opening up his eyes. He had just had a two-hour sleep. That was more than what he'd had in days. Maybe it was the price of being who he was. He lacked the desire to sleep, and this was mostly because he was able to function perfectly without it. But Margaret’s tranquil home and calm space was able to soothe his weary soul, despite her tantrums and fiery outbursts.He stretched, feeling refreshed, and swung his legs over the side. Margaret —her name echoed in the back of his mind, lingering for a while. She was a peculiar woman, he thought to himself. She was bold and daring, a rare breed of woman he’d found amongst humans. He'd met only a few people like her in his entire lifetime, people who didn't cower in his presence. Margaret happened to be the first woman who had tested his patience; despite his deadly instincts, she'd pushed him to the limit without ending up hurt by him. That intrigued him.The creaking

Sheila trudged away from the Wichita hangar, the cool Kansas breeze rustling her hair. She left Adam without a goodbye, and their brief connection was severed. As she walked, her thoughts lingered on what could have been. "Maybe, some other place, some other time," she mused, a faint smile on her lips.Moving on, her footsteps echoed through the deserted parking lot as most of the people were in the airport lobby, the only sound breaking the silence. Sheila's gaze drifted back to the hangar, where Adam remained, a fading figure in her rearview. She shook her head, focusing on the road ahead. Anavrin beckoned, and she couldn't afford distractions.She briskly walked into the parking lot, scanning for available transportation. Her luck turned as she spotted a taxi driver leaning against his cab, seeking shade from the downpour. Grateful to escape the rain, she hastened towards him."Taxi, please," Sheila requested, her voice firm.The driver nodded with a warm smile, holding the door op

The way Levi had completely burst her bubbles about her lead on Sheila, utterly confused Margaret and also broke her heart. But then, his abruptly leaving through the doors with claims to have a better lead sparked a high level of curiosity within her. Just as she believed that her intuition had never failed her, she decided to trust her guts and go ahead with her third option; That being—following Levi. Maintaining a discreet distance, she kept her eyes fixed on the trunk and plate number of his car as she drove steadily, skillfully navigating through the flow of traffic to remain inconspicuous, remaining two cars behind him.About 30 minutes later, Levi continued to drive forward like he was certain of where he was going. He led Margaret through traffic jams, street after street, block after block until he veered into a familiar desolate road that led into a deserted neighborhood. Her curiosity piqued, Margaret knowingly slowed down her car and took another turn, to avoid being the

The heavy, brutal impact of the clash only left Levi briefly disoriented. His mind still reeling from Margaret's terror-stricken scream, he darted his eyes toward the exterior surrounding the parking lot. As he lay on the ground with collapsed walls and bricks all fallen around him, his eyes still focused on Margaret, and he saw her being dragged violently by the hair and pulled towards a car.That was when he realized there were three attackers. He ragefully clenched his jaw and balled up his fist, his claws piercing into the palm of his skin. His attention was soon turned to the massive wolf that loomed before him, training his eyes on him and waiting for his next attack.Deliberately, he stood up, his unforgiving gaze boring into Dom's large wolf eyes. The sound of his claws cutting through the air followed, and with a snarl, Levi lunged, his claws slicing through the night air, raking against Dom’s flank. Pain shot through him, but he retaliated, snapping his jaws in a desperate a
