After Daniel left, I couldn’t stop pacing. My heart was racing, and no matter how much I tried to calm myself, something inside me kept screaming that things were falling apart.

It wasn’t just Selene or Clara that bothered me–it was the look in Daniel’s eyes before he left, and the way Elias had been acting. Everything felt wrong, like there were pieces of a story everyone knew except me. And the worst part, he didn’t tell me befoe

I tried sitting down, but it didn’t help. The house was too quiet. Every sound made me flinch, every creak of the floorboards made me look toward the door.

I needed answers, and I couldn’t wait for anyone to give them to me. My mind went back to a place I hadn’t thought about in years, Mrs. Smith’s old home.

It was a small cottage outside the main town. She used to take me there when I was little, saying it was a safe place. I didn’t understand why back then. But now, I wondered if she’d hidden something there, something that could explain why all of this was happening.

I grabbed my car keys and left. The drive was quiet, the kind of silence that made every second feel longer than it was. The roads were nearly empty, the forest on both sides thick and shadowed.

When I reached the old house, I parked and stared for a while. It hadn’t changed much. It was still small, still standing at the edge of the woods, like it was waiting.

I unlocked the door and stepped inside. The air smelled stale, like no one had been there for years. Dust covered the furniture, and the floor creaked under my steps.

I walked through the living room slowly, my eyes scanning the shelves, the walls, the floorboards. I didn’t know what I was looking for, but I had the strange feeling that I’d know when I found it.

I stopped in the corner near the fireplace. Something about the floor there looked odd–one of the boards had a small crack near the edge.

I knelt down and ran my fingers over it. It shifted slightly. I pushed harder until it came loose, revealing a small wooden chest hidden underneath. My pulse jumped.

The chest wasn’t locked. Inside were a few folded letters, old and worn. The first was addressed to Elias. I opened it carefully.

Elias,

Finished.

If you’re reading this, it means the past is catching up. The Alpha of the South will come for what’s his when the blood moon rises. Keep her safe. Don’t let him find her.

–

My throat went dry. The handwriting should be my mother’s.

I read the words again and again, trying to make sense of them. The Alpha of the South… something must be really wrong.

But this letter changed everything. It meant he hadn’t rejected her. It meant he was still looking

-for me.

I sat back on the floor, holding the letter in my hands. My mother had known this would happen. She’d known someone would come.

My chest tightened as I realized Daniel had been right about one thing, there was something bigger going on, something we both had been walking into without knowing.

A sound from outside made me freeze. A car door. Then footsteps. I quickly folded the letter and slipped it into my pocket. The front door creaked open before I could move.

Two figures stepped inside–Selene and Clara.

They looked different from the last time I’d seen them. They were both were dressed in black, and Clara’s hand rested casually on something that looked like a weapon tucked under her jacket.

Clara’s lips curved into a faint smile. “You should’ve stayed where you were loved, Amy,” she said softly.

I stood up slowly, keeping my distance. “What do

you

want?”

Selene tilted her head. “You already know. You were never meant to be here. You think Daniel can protect you, but he’s only delaying what’s inevitable.”

I felt my heart pounding so hard I could barely breathe. “If you’re here to threaten me again, you’re wasting your time.”

Selene took a step forward, her eyes sharp. “I’m not threatening. I’m finishing what should’ve been done a long time ago.”

I took a step back, hitting the edge of the table behind me. My hands trembled, but I didn’t want to show fear. I’d had enough of running, of pretending to be helpless.

Selene smirked and lunged toward me.

Before she reached me, a deep growl echoed through the doorway. Both of them froze.

Daniel stood there. His clothes were dusty, his expression deadly calm, but his eyes burned with fury. “Touch her,” he said, his voice low, “and it’s the last thing you’ll do.”
