ALPHA'S PROPERTY – The Rise of the Moon Series

People around me always talked about supernatural creatures and how they walked among us, humans. I've never been one to embrace mysticism and popular beliefs; truth be told, I've always been skeptical about life. I wasn't the type to believe in religions, supernatural stories, or even aliens. I always believed that such stories were told so many times that they caused collective hysteria, something that justified these visions and encounters with the unknown.In childhood, my dream was to grow up, get into a good college, and have a good enough excuse to leave this small, outdated town and go somewhere that truly understood me. The only people who understood me in this town were my friends Austin and Pierre. Even though my twin sister was the person who understood me the best, the one who truly felt that everyone in this town was crazy and that we had to get out of here, we weren't as close, and it only worsened with her move to our grandparents' house.As the years passed, I graduall

People laughed and chatted lightly as I stared at the phone, oblivious to my growing apprehension. I stared at the footprint photo, and the image of the imposing brown wolf echoed in my mind. However, even considering the size of this wolf, I suspected that the paw in question did not belong to him. It appeared to be from an even larger animal. Jeez, is it possible that there is an even bigger wolf in this forest? Soon, legends about men turning into beasts and being exiled to the forest occurred to me. If these legends were true, then the stories about demonic creatures that fed on human blood could also be true. I laugh to myself, amused by my own imagination. This can't be real. There must be a logical explanation for all of this. I decide to search the internet for information about “Direwolves in the Legalville forest”. To my surprise, the only results I find are reports from locals about encounters with giant creatures, legends and intriguing stories. I come across a blurry

I spot the pair of black boots slowly approaching me. I wanted to move, but fear paralyzed me. My hair is yanked, and I scream in pain.I look towards my assailant's face and am shocked to see entirely black eyes and a blood-covered face.He didn't seem human; his skin was extremely pale, as if there was no blood in his body.Desperation fills me as I recognize that face. It's the same mysterious man from the party. I struggle in his arms, and he smiles satisfied.His hand touches my neck but quickly recoils upon reaching the chain, as if it hurts him. He snarls at me like a cat about to attack another.I see Dad crawling down the hallway, his body covered in cuts. Dad thrusts one of his hunting knives into the creature's ankle, and I hear its guttural scream."Cursed worm!" he shouts before throwing me downstairs. I feel my body ache with each step. "How dare you try to hurt me, you insolent worm?""Run, Violet!" Dad yells as I struggle to get up. His eyes lock onto mine, determinatio

I woke up feeling a sharp pain in my leg. I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a strange room, different from the one Dylan left me in. I look around trying to identify something, but everything was new to me. I strain my vision to see a silhouette in the darkness. A lamp is turned on, and its light makes my eyes hurt. When I finally manage to focus my vision, I see a woman sitting in a chair in front of the bed.Her light brown hair was shaved on the side and fell over her left shoulder. Despite the dim lighting in the room, I could notice her delicate features and a scar on her cheek. She raised an eyebrow when she realized I had been watching her for too long."You finally woke up, human."That voice... I remember it. It's the same voice that said she wanted to devour me. I widen my eyes and try to sit up in bed, but the pain in my leg makes me let out a loud groan. Curse! I was trapped in an unknown room with this maniac."Like staring at people? What's wrong? I don't bite." Her

With each passing second, the screams and growling sounds outside escalated, creating an even tenser atmosphere. I was alone in the room, my mind working at a frenetic speed as I tried to comprehend the situation I found myself in.The minutes seemed to drag on, and the uncertainty of what was happening left me restless. My leg hurt, and I wished I could move freely to better understand the situation. Being stuck in an unfamiliar room while chaos unfolded outside was an unpleasant sensation.Finally, after a period that felt like an eternity, Ivy returned to the room. Her face was troubled, and her hands trembled slightly. She closed the door behind her and sighed deeply before speaking."I'm sorry for leaving you alone. Things outside were out of control for a while." Her chest rose and fell with irregular breaths.I looked at her, searching for answers. The concern on her face told me that things weren't going well. I needed to know what was happening."What's going on?" My voice ca
