Tom felt a mix of frustration and confusion as he entered the busy train station leaving his car back at the hospital. The morning rush hour was in full swing, with people scurrying to their destinations like ants on a mission. He tried to navigate through the crowd, his mind preoccupied with something much more pressing than the hustle and bustle around him.Lost in his own thoughts, Tom failed to notice the familiar face standing just a few feet away.

Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly answered, her voice trembling with anticipation. "Tom, I'm so glad you called. We need to talk about what I found.""Hey, Rachel," Tom's voice came through the line filled with curiosity. "Why did you come to the office earlier today? I was surprised to hear that you were here."The question caught Rachel off guard momentarily. She had hoped to avoid this conversation, at least until they were face to face. "I...I didn't think it would be appropriate to discuss over the ph
The moon hung high in the night sky over the town of Maplewood, casting an eerie glow on the dense forest surrounding it. Hidden beneath the cover of darkness, a group of werewolves a quite older pack compared to Marcus's pack, they stealthily moved through the underbrush, their senses heightened by their primal instincts. They had gathered for a clandestine meeting, driven by their concern and anger towards the younger pack led by Marcus, whose reckless behavior had garnered the attention of both supernatural and human circles far and wide.Alpha Logan, a respected leader known for his wisdom and level-headedness, took the lead. His tired eyes reflected the weight of responsibility that rested upon him.

It was a revelation she never expected, and it struck her like a bolt of lightning.She exchanged a quick glance with Marcus, her eyes wide with disbelief. How could she have been so blind? Should she have trusted her instincts when they warned her of the mysteries lurking beneath the surface? Emily's mind raced, desperately searching for a way out. But before she could voice her concerns, Marcus and the other pack members led her to his secluded residence on the outskirts of the town.As they entered Marcus's dimly lit living room, Emily felt a heavy weight settle on her chest.

Tom stepped through the front door, kicking off his worn-out shoes and calling out to his daughter. "Emily? Are you home?" His voice reverberated through the silent house, but there was no response. He furrowed his brow, even more concerned when he noticed the door being unlocked when he came in.Emily sat huddled in her room, a cascade of tears streaming down her anguished face.
