Evan hadn't seen Jack and Kurt for four months. Since the whole year-long incident had occurred, they had met a few times, like wolves. Jack and Kurt could no longer change into humans, although Evan doubted whether they had any interest in returning. He concluded that maybe they hadn't.The house he was staying in with Susan was modest and extremely isolated. Although she was a witch, some things were limited, mainly because of the amount of energy she had expended in the incident. Food was scarce. Susan kept all the food because Evan could feed himself as a wolf, once fed in that form when he returned to human form, he was already satisfied. Evan used to change only on nights with a full moon and when he felt hungry, otherwise, he didn't change. Susan had never forced a transformation on him again. As time went by, they lost more and more contact with each other. Susan thought that this distance was not a good sign. She said there was a good chance that Jack and Kurt were truly be

CASSIE'S POVI had decided Jack. I didn't want his evilness, definitely not. What the witch (who I later found out was named Susan), showed me about Jack made me rethink attitudes. I wanted to confess everything to Felice. If she showed up to see me, I would tell her everything. Even if she didn't believe me, I would believe Jack. I had to believe in something, and at that moment the only chance to get out of that place was this way.I wasn't convinced why I had said those words to the officer, but I had. Likewise, I wondered if I had done something wrong, but what was done. I didn't like them. Nobody believed me. The incident of the twelve was too specific for them to accept my account. Only those who live through the trauma understand. Over time, one of the officers seemed more empathetic but was still only interested in the job. The impression I got from all this was that the police wanted to close the case as soon as possible. Of course, they tried to shelve the case, but the rela

CASSIE'S POVI received an alert from the nurse minutes before Felice arrived at the clinic. Knowing that she was coming made me very anxious, as I knew that the officers would soon be there as well. I still didn't have a concrete plan, if I had a plan at all.No one knew about my current condition except the nurse. I didn't even know his name, but I was truly grateful for what little he did for me. With each minute of waiting, I became even more anxious. It had been a long time since I had spoken to her, I just listened. I wondered why I had never dared to talk to her during all the visits I made. Maybe I was the problem. Maybe I didn't trust people the way I should have. Both Jack and Felice deserved my trust. If I were Jack, I would have kept a secret like that too, for that, I couldn't blame him, although every time I remembered the dialogues with Susan I felt more and more that there was nothing to forgive in Jack. He was a good person.Felice opened my bedroom door in the most d

CASSIE'S POVFelice was still processing the information when I told her about Kurt. I didn't expect her to believe or accept it right away. I expected her to believe me because I needed her, as did Kurt.“Are you saying that Kurt is a wolf? That doesn't make sense,” she said. “Are you okay? Don't get me wrong, I want to believe you, Cassie,” she told me. I felt the sincerity in her words.“I can't prove it to you yet, Felice. I doubt what I know and what I've seen, but I can't deny it anymore. There is a witch in the story, and she came to see me and showed me some things that confirmed this,” I told her. “Yes, there is a witch too, excuse the confusion. I've been dreaming too, and all this has not let me live in a vacuum anymore. I want to go after Jack.”“He's an outlaw, Cassie,” she told me. “I understand you're worried, but he's a wanted man, and he's missing, no one knows where he is.”“Kurt is missing, Felice. Don't you want to know where he is?”, I asked her, trying to convinc

CASSIE'S POVFelice had more stamina than I did. We ran through the woods for so long that we reached an area that had no signal. I was thinking that maybe this was not such a good idea, but my thoughts were on Jack, and I was certain that Felice's were on Kurt.We didn't know what we were looking for, we just knew that we were. I didn't know that area, and neither did Felice. We just kept walking for a while longer, eating the foods that we knew were not harmful to our health. We spotted some wild animals, but still harmless. In the background, we were waiting for Susan, so we could know where to go, although Susan didn't have a clear view of where they should be.“Do you think we'll be able to save them?”, Felice asked me, while we were still walking.“I hope there's still time to do that, to be honest. I feel like something is wrong, I can't explain it very well, but I feel like something is happening,” I replied to her.“So you feel it too?” she told me. “I was worried that I was
