The tension in Eva’s mountain cabin had softened somewhat. The town doctor, Lily, had just returned to the town. Everyone was willing to do something for the town’s young wolves, but no one had yet found a concrete way to begin.Asia sat cross-legged in the armchair, watching the room with an expression of mild boredom. Being roughly two hundred years older than everyone present made events like this feel rather ordinary to her. She didn't see why so much fuss was being made over a handful of stray omegas wandering around without direction.Her gaze drifted to Elly. She sniffed once, then gave a low rumble."I caught your scent," she said.Elly looked up, confused. She glanced down at herself for a moment, then turned back to Asia."Do I smell bad? I don't understand. What do you mean?"A sly smile crept to the corners of Asia's lips. "You and that scrawny Alpha are together," she murmured.Elly went completely still. Her mouth hung open, her eyes wide as saucers. She had no idea what

"Let's go now," said Elly. They headed for the car.Just then, Elly's phone rang. An unknown number filled the screen."Hello?" She answered."Hello," came a woman's voice on the other end. "I got this number from my, from our mother. May I ask who I'm speaking with?"Elly's brows knit together. "Our mother? Who is this?""I'm Doctor Lily. I'm the town's doctor. I stopped by your mother's house, and she gave me your number."Elly's voice turned cautious. "I see. I'm Elly. Eleanor, I mean.""Yes. Lovely to meet you, Eleanor. I need to speak with you about something. It's important."Thoughts crowded Elly's mind , could something be wrong with Mother's health? "About what?" she asked.Doctor Lily hesitated for a moment. Then her voice dropped. "I carry wolf blood, Eleanor. Just like many of the young people in this town. But we shouldn't talk about this over the phone. Let's meet in person."Elly went pale. If word got out that she was now a guardian, she feared becoming a target , for

After descending from the waterfall, Eva and Asia moved swiftly through the forest trail in their wolf forms. Asia's eyes never stopped sweeping the surroundings, casting wary yet curious glances at everything new that crossed her sight."So much has changed..." Asia murmured in her wolf's voice, her gaze trailing up one of the utility poles lining the road. The poles rose all the way into the sky, wrapped at their tops with strange, tangled cords. "What are these?" she asked. "Some kind of dragon trap?"Eva was taken aback. "A dragon trap? What in the..." she called out from her wolf form. She had barely adjusted to the existence of witches, wolves, guardians, and demons and now dragons were being added to the list. She decided that was enough shock for one day and simply shook her head.She was going to have to explain everything from the very beginning, as if talking to a small child. "Utility poles," Eva said flatly. "But we don't have time for this right now. We need to get to my

As the townspeople struggled to adapt to the new way of life thrust upon them, tension within the waterfall grotto was steadily rising. One of the tall windows on the upper floor of the great stone manor had suddenly shattered, and a heavy chair had been hurled out through it.The pack's twins, Alex and Axel, burst through the door in an instant and looked up. Their eyes were locked on the window, trying to make sense of what had happened. In one corner of the waterfall grotto's paradise garden, Asia lay stretched out in a hammock, arms folded across her chest. Despite the chaos unfolding around her, she was trying to rest and though her body was relaxed, the turmoil in her mind refused to settle.Hearing the voices rising from inside, Rai poked his head out through the door. He turned to Alex and Axel and asked, "What's going on?"Axel let out a laugh, a sardonic smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Looks like our Alpha hasn't exactly managed to calm his dear wife Eva down," he s

After a short while, Lily had arrived at Grandmother Agnes's house, located right at the entrance of the town. But the moment she stepped out of the car, she sensed that something was off. She hadn't had many chances to see Agnes, unlike the other townspeople, Agnes never came to the doctor. For that reason, Lily had long suspected that Agnes possessed healing abilities. She took great care of her health and mostly kept herself going through her own alternative remedies.But… once, Agnes had broken her leg badly. Back then, Lily had come to visit her regularly for a month. And every time she came, the ducks and chickens by the door, the windows thrown wide open, that liveliness filling the house with spring, all of it would greet her.Now, despite it being winter, the silence felt strange.She walked forward a little, crossed the veranda, and knocked on the door. But no sound came from inside. Frowning, she moved closer to the window. Shielding her eyes with her hands, she peered in.

The town's doctor, Lily, could see clearly that if things continued this way, blood would be spilled in the town once again. Even though centuries had passed, it wasn't only the wolf bloodline that lived on these lands, a hunter lineage that had grown up in their shadow still existed as well.If people began to remember their old identities and the ancient memory carried in their blood, it was entirely possible that even neighbors who had once shared the same table and walked the same streets could suddenly turn on one another.But Lily's real fear was a different possibility altogether.The young people in town whose wolf spirits had newly awakened… they were not yet under the authority of an Alpha. They had no idea how to control the wild impulses surging within them. If these young people gave in to those dark urges, a single moment of rage or fear would be enough to make them draw blood. And then… the scent of blood could spread through the streets of the town once more.A little
